There is grave significance in the fact that the King of Sweden and Norway has asked his Storthing for Parliament; for a large sum of money, to enable him. to give material aid to Denmark in certain emergencies, and requested their authority to employ the naval and military force of the United Kingdom to enforce his views, if found necessary. It was fitting, too, that the Storthing should have been sit ting in Christiana, the capital of Nor way, when the requirement was laid before it —seeing that the sympathy of Norway for Denmark has always been considerable, and not -without cause, from old association. Prom the year 1380 until 1814, Norway was part of the Kingdom of Denmark. In 1812, Bernadottb, the French general who had been elected Crown-Prince of aweden, with ultimate succession to the throne—now occupied by his grandson—turned against Napoleon, his old leader, and the addition of Norway to Sweden was guaranteed by Hussia and England as the price of this treachery and defection. It need scarcely be said that Russia and England had no more power;to transfer Norway, in this manner, than they have to transfer Pennsylvania to Prance. The people of Norway unsuccessfully re sisted this spoliation. But a Swedish army, aided by a British fleet, enforced it, and the transfer of Norway to Sweden was efiected. The union has never been hearty. There is something imposing, however, in the Storthing allowing the King of Sweden to aid Denmark in her present trouble. The accession of this Swedish aid, though not much, is something for Denmark. If England had done a tithe of this, it is pro. bable that the difficulty about the disputed duchies would have been ended long ago. It must be confessed that the Danes have no great cause to think favorably of England. In lSOl.on the shallow pretext that the Danish fleet might be seized by Napoleon, Lord Nelson, with a naval armament of thirty-six British vessels of war, bombarded Copenhagen and captured the Danish ships, which he did not destroy. In 1814 a Bri tish fleet enforced the transfer of Norway to Sweden. Ini 864, when the presence of the ■Channel fleet in the Baltic would probably prove of moral as well as of material aid to the Danes, the policy of England is to con tinue neutral. Now, in some cases, it is considered that neutrality may be as bad as hostility. The German invaders of Denmark have the purpose, it is said, of dictating terms of peace jn Copenhagen. They are masters of the situation, and may succeed in wrenching rchleewig and Holstein from the King of Denmark, thereby reducing his territory to the peninsula of Jutland, the small duchy ot Lauenburg, and the islands, Cthe chiet of which are Seeland, Ffthnen, and Laaland, the Faroe Isles, Iceland, and Greenland, anti his West India posses sions, consisting of the small islands of Santa Cruz, St. Thomas, and St. John.; But Austria and Prussia, the main movers in this audacious robbery of a small Power, may find, ere long, that they have made a fundamental enror in establishing the prin ciple, as they have done in thiß case of Schleswig and Holstein, that a kingdom may be dismembered, ®i et armis, because tbe inhabitants of certain provinces declare that they desire to transfer their allegiance to another ruler. Take Prussia, for example. She holds part of plundered Poland, the natives of 'which are inimical to the harsh array of the House of Brandenburg. Suppose that these PolUh- Frussian people declare, before the world, that they desire to resume their nationality, under a ruler ol their own race and choice, on what plea can Europe say “ Nay,” after sanctioning the transfer of the Dano-Ger man dnchies from King Chbistiah to Prince Frederick of Augnstenburg ? Austria is yet more vulnerable. Of Po land, she holds the province of Galicia and what was the free republic of Cracow. She holds the ancient Kingdom of Bohemia and Hungary, which loathe while they submit, under the pressure of force, to her hard rule. Lastly, Austria holds the province of Yenitia, essentially a part of what is now the Kingdom of Italy, and holds it, not by ancient right, but under a modem treaty, which the contracting parties had no more right to make than they have to or dain that Ohio shall henceforth belong to Russia, New England to France, Maryland to Great Britain, and Kentucky to Prussia. One day, perhaps before long, the Poles may seek to cast oft the yoke of Prussia and Austria, even as they are now seeking to cast oft that of Russia; the Bohemians, the Hungarians, and the Yenitiansmay claim to be separated from Austria ; even Ireland, perhaps, may seek to regain her long-lost nationality. If ever such contingencies arise, with what face, after what Is now being done and permitted in Denmark, can Europe back up Austria, Prussia, or Eng land, when any of the oppressed nationali -ties shall .rise, in armed hosts, to regain ■their liberty ? A precedentis being establish ed which, one day, may turn and rend those ■who make it. Prom England we expected more than neutrality in this case of Den mark. Her statesmen Should remember what one of her poets wrote: “ Hear it, ye Senates, hear this truth subllma— He v>ho aUotcs Oppression shares the crime t" Relics of Barbarism. There is one person in the range of the universe who thinks that Copperhe&dism is “ godlike, ” (we hear his name mentioned in Connecticut papers,; but we do not know tbe second Copperhead who is rash or green enough to think the same thing out loud. The word “godlike,” used in connection with the Democratic party, must have a frightful strangeness to even Democrats themselves, after Buchanan has sold his countryi without even making a fair pre tence to higgle over the'bargain; after Yallandigham has ranted treason, sltid Seymour tried his amateur, hand in the melancioly part of Judas; after so many gods of the Democratic party have gone down on their very knees to the South, and become, not apologists, but worshippers of crime; after more than a score of giants of the “old school” have all been publicly bidding to betray their country on commodious terms. The amount of depra vity and cowardice that might be catalogued with the foregoing is still more remarkable; but the amount of puerile ignorance, in the same connection, is extraordinary. Old Mr. Amos Kendall took occasion to say, lately: “ The taction South, under the direction of Jeffer son Davta, end the Taction North, under the direc tion oi Abraham Lincoln [hisses], have brought the two ends of thift Union in colltaion with eaohother.” Any youth in the land could show by proof upon proof, plain to the commonest understanding, the utter falsehood of the statement of this venerable slaveholder. If North and South are nothing but factions under different leaders, to whom must we suppose Mr. Kendall and his party claim to owe allegiance ? What Mr. Kendall regards as .loyalty we may suspect, when we know what the Louisville Journal con siders “ a very disgusting thing.” It is the placard of a recruiting officer of colored troops, and it is described as follows: “On the back of it are these words: ‘AUilavea were made freemen by Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, January Ist, 1863. Come, then, able-bodied colored men, to the nearest TTnited State* camp, and fight for the stars and stripes. l On the other side is the engraving of a white officer in epaulette*, pointing a sword towards the sky with his right hand, and grasping with hi* left the staff of the American flag, inscribed ‘ freedom to the slave,’ a nigger school-house lined and surrounded by Utile niggers, the nigger eohoolmsster reading a newspaper, a big nigger, in coat and cap of indigo blue, striking chains from the limbs of male and female slaves, and a nigger regiment rushing after a leader, whose color is designedly undisUngulsha blc, under a flag marked ‘United States regiment colored troops.’ ” And all this is “ very disgusting”—very disgusting, no doubt, to any one who has the virus of a tyrant in him. Nevertheless, the Copperhead party is called 11 God like;” and, of slavery itself, we are told by the New Haven Register , what will not appear disgusting at all to those who sneer at eman cipation : “ Religieu#ly viewed, it (slavery) i* not to be re garded m a Divine institution like the Sacrament o f the Lord’# Supper, or the Marriage Covenant; but as a providential condition of society—recognized and regulated by the Holy Scriptures ; end, as such t to be tolerated by Christian peoples* Is Slavery Dead? Is slavery dead ? To assert so is quite common, but let us be sure of it. The war has broken down a great many barriers— haß given us emancipation, after a period of suffering and experience—has erected free plantations and free schools near the very hotbeds of rebellion, and has enabled re pentant slaveholders to build free States. The conversion of rebels into abolitionists, one of the inevitable and growing results of the war, has ceased to he a wonder, and, on the contrary, the only marvel is, how North ern men find anything to respect in an institution which is a double rebel against the laws of God and man. The fact is shameful and strange, but proves how deeply and widely the nation has been cursed with the evil. There is no longer occasion to apologize for this crime, and those who still take the trouble to invent arguments in its favor are voted either knaves or madmen, by the masses of the people; but the influ ence of slavery is nevertheless an existing fact. Those who have been its most eameßt advocates clutch it all the stronger that it is now near to death, and the people, who never liked it, but bore it secret hate, on account of all they have suffered for the sake of an ungrateful South, hate it all the more that its fate is decreed and its hours are numbered. Slavery, if not alive and defiant as before, still blockß the way with its horrible rub bish —is still a burden on our hands and minds—and has still some power. We have less to apprehend from slaveholders than Copperheads, who are, after all, the more absolute worshippers of the evil, for they would prevent, if they could, even the slaveholder from manumitting his own slaves. The friends of slavery at the North are the enemies which the republic must first meet at every step it takes; after them the border State slaveholders and con ditional Unionists; and, lastly, come the rebels themselves. Conquer the first at once, and all the rest is decided; but our war measures originally went through a process before they reached the actual enemy, and, in the first year of the war, the proclamations of some of our Ge nerals were plainly a caution to our own soldiers not to use deadly weapons. The nation has now recovered from all its anxie ties on the subject of slavery, and does not wish to spare it a single day. Slavery is always offensive, whether it actively assails the Government or is quiescent; and, letting alone that it is a monster evil, and abstractly a very great crime, the people consider it even superficially a great pest and nuisance. There is no reason to save it, and there is still less to let it live. And, although it still lives, it is well to note that it is only in the progress of dying, and the people are anxious that it shall die as fast as possible. We have no reason to protract its death-bed. It has no claim to our gratitude. Has it ever saved the Union for us V It has no cause to ask charity or consideration. When did it offer concession or show mercy ? Let it die without physi cians, or with only such doctors as are in close conspiracy with fate. It is a great criminal, and should die without respite, respect, ot sorrow. The nation of the fu ture must be new and free, and we do not need principle so much as energy to make it so. Every black soldier carries a death warrant that slavery shall surely cease. But the dying lingers, and the people are impatient. Surely one great act is to come, when slavery shall be effaced from the Con stitution, shall be driven out of politics,-and ' out of the very shadow of political shelter. After emancipation, which the President has proclaimed, we must have abolition—a. fiat mighty with the voice of the whole peo ple—sweeping slavery out of history. It is not enough that Goliath has been struck a mortal blow. He must be beheaded, and even after that we must/«?2 upon the Philis tines. The Vetebans ob Philadelphia. —The Select Council, last Thursday, passed an ordinance granting to the re-enlisted vete rans of the city a bounty equivalent to the ward bounty, which, oy their promptness in re-enlisting in the field, and in conse quence of imperfect papers, they failed to get. The Common Council will, it is be lieved, to-day pass this ordinance, and thus promote re- enlistments by an act of simple justice to our patriotic, grateful, and com municative veterans.

The following is the opinion of the Solicitor of the War Department as to whether, in the impending draft for 600,000 men each town, &c,, is responsible for its quota ; and if not (3d) should each town, Ac , if sn additional call should be made before a draft is cnfoxced for the deficiency of the 600,000 heretofore called for, then be held responsible for all its de» ficienoy: OriNiON.—The only draft of the forces of the Untied States heretofore made or ordered has been in strict accordance with the requirements or the emoJmcnt actof March 3,1863. Tne oall of October 7,1863, for 300,000 volnnteers was accompanied by a pledge that such volunteers should be credited to the quotas of the respective S ates , and that there should be no draft in any State which should, within the required time, furnish by volunteering its full quota. This pledge of the Government must be sacredly kept, even though in one State some towns or wards have furnished more, and others less, than their re spective proportion of volunteers. It would be a hardship if, by enforcing drafts upon the delinquent districts, the State, as a whole, should be required to furnish more than its just proportion ol troops for the public service. The«quaiiz&tion of quotas, as between the seve ral States, seems to have been intended by Congress in the amended enrolment act, section. 24, which re quites that certain colored troops should be credited on the quotas of the several States, or sub-divisions of States, although the act requires all future drafts to be made from towns, wards, districts, &c., without reference to States. When further drafts shall be made, the provisions of the amended enrolment act will enable and re quire the Provost Marshal Genera), in assigning quotas to each town, ward, and district, to take into account the number of men to which each is re spectively entitled to be oredited, and must thereby equalize, as between themselves, all such towns, wards, districts, Ac., in the United States. No dis trict will, in the end, escape its jiist share of the public bqrden, even though further draft is not now mi.de on any district of a State which, as a whole, has furnished its just quota.

Lord Palmerston said that he could not produce the opinions of the law officers of the Crown with respect to the lei sure of the Tuscaloosa. They were confidential acvice for the Government, and it would be objectionable to produce them. Lord Palmerston, in reply to inquiries relative td the prt poted conference, said that the reply of Denmark was still awaited- but that he had good reason to hope and believe that the Danish Government would assent. Sir H. S. Tracey moved that the statement or the French Fiocureur General, at the trial of Greco, implicating a member of ih6 House and of her Majesty’s Government, tt r. Stansfleld, in the plot to assassinate the Emperor of the French, deserved the serious consideration of the House. Lord Hamilton seconded the motion, and it was sup ported by Mr. l/isr&oli, Mr. Pakington, and other Oppo sition members. Mr Stantfield defended himself, and reiterated his de nial of any complicity in the matter. Lord Palmerston said he had no explanation to make to the French Government, and thought that none was necessary. If he had thought for a moment that Staus- Held could have the slightest participation in the con spi’Bcy, he should have called upon him to resign; but he had not done so because he knew that he was incapa ble of such coi duct, The motion was rejected by yeas 161, nays 171. The Government majority of ten was received with great cheering. The vote was generally regarded as a de cide, d Conservative attack on the Government. ► In the House of Lords, on the 18th Instant, Earl Enichll appealed to Karl Ellenborongh to postpone his inquiries relative to the Dai ieh oueUion, as it was very desirable that no discussion should take place just now ©o the subject. * Earl Russell said that England had fond hopes that Denmark would agree to a conference, and that an annistice would be acceptable to all parties.

Karl Donougbmore reflected on the false statements that bad been made by the-captain oi the Keareage. Earl Bueteil said that the captain’s explanation must be accepted as satisfactory. In the House of Commons there was another party de bate on Mr. Mansfield's connection with the conspiracy against the life of the Emperor Napoleon.

Habbisbubo, Maroh 30.—The following la a mei aage of Governor Ourtln rent to tto Leglalature In reference te the payment of the militia called out in September, 1863: To the Honorable the House qf Representatives: Gbntlbmbn : I received the following resolution of thin House on the 21th of&daroh instant: * ‘ Resolved, That the Governor be requested to Inform this House what has been done in relation to the Pay ment of the militia that was called ont on the 11th of Sep tember* 1862.” The subject of the resolution was properly as signed to the Adjutant General of the State. Great difficulties occurred in preparing proper vouchers for payments made to the militia called in servioe in September, 1862, under proclamation made by the Governor or this State. The men *ere called into service, and were hurried forward to the border without the usual form of muster, and no rolls were made at the time of regiments or companies. The Adjutant General, in his annual report, says : " On the 6th of September last the Second Comptroller of the Treasury approved a blank form of roll for payment of militia for 1862. These rolls have been sent to the captains of all companies who have ap plied for them and stated their post offloe address. They are now rapidly being returned to this depart ment, and as soon as all are received, will be trans mitted to the pay department at Washington, when paymssteis will be detailed to the several counties fiom which these troops were famished.** Much correspondence has been hw tarouga tne Adjutant General with the authorities at washing* ton on thi. .uhjeot since the date of the report of tne Ai jutant General, and I am Informed by Col. Franc!, Jordan, military agent of the Sjtate at Washington, that on the 2Sd inat. an order wa« made on Major Brice, chief paymamter at Baltimore, to take ohaTge of theae payment,; to eatlmate the amount of funds required rto report the number of paymatteri neoetiary, and make the payment, at ae early a day a, practicable, ....... Major Brice made a requUltlon on the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania tor the roll,, which were promptly fumiahed him by that officer. There 1, reaeon to believe that the militia called into terviae in September, 1862. will now be promptly paid. a. a. uuariN. AFFAIRS IN TUB SOUTH. Statements of a Southerner. The New York papers, of yesterday evening, con tain the following statements said to have been made by a prominent citizen of Dixie, thoroughly conversant with Southern affairs, who has arrived in that city. He informs us that, on his departure from Georgia, about the 16th instant, the rebels were making extensive preparations to invade Kentucky by way or Western Virginia. Breokinridge and Buckner had both been sent from Dalton for that purpose. Johnston’s army, when he passed through it, at the beginning of the month, numbered thirty-five thousand, including infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The stories of desertion are not at all exaggerated. Indeed this is the crying evil of the Confederate armies. He represents that the dissatisfaction In Georgia with the Richmond legislation of the past winter is deep and wide spread. Governor Brown openly avows his opposition to Mr. Davis, and is backed up by the people. In accordance with thelast con scription act* all persons between the ages of 18 and 45 are being foroed inro the ranks, and it was ex pected on his departure that the remaining provision of the bill would be carried out by conscripting all between the ages of 46 and. 60. This sweeping en rolment is considered not only unconstitutional but tyrannical, and it is being tested daily before the State courts. The “ funding bill” is also another souroe of great dissatisfaction. This provides that all the Confede rate currency which is not converted into bonds be fore Ist of April will be taxed 33*£ per cent. It is nothing more or less, he says, than a total repudia tion of the rebel currency, ana is so regarded by the people. Governor Brown is now reorganizing the State militia, which is to comprise au the boys between, sixteen and eighteen, and old men from fifty up wards. The stories of starvation published in the North ern papers are not founded in fact. The people have plenty of plain food to eat, though obliged to pay exorbitant prices; and so long as Western Georgia remains intact from Federal invasion, the rebel anry around Dalton will have a rich source of sup plies to draw from. The impression generally pre vails in rebeldom that onr forces are going to make a determined effort to take Richmond this spring. Our prisoners are being transferred from the rebel capital to Ameticus, Georgia, where they have bet ter quarters and better food. The people are very bitter toward Jeff Davis for having promoted Bragg after his continued failures. They have considerable confidence in Johnston’s military capacity, but regard Lee as their greatest soldier. In conclusion, he informs us that a deep gloom pervades all classes in the Southwest* They have long since come to regard the Confederacy as a failure, and look with bitter pain and anguish on the utter ruin which the leaders are engulpbing them in. They have no hope that a change of. ad ministration will be brought about in the North, and have sunk into a state of utter despondency* The steady progress of our arms southward they look upon as inevitable. CANADA. The Ministerial Crisis at Toronto. The latest Toronto telegrams state that Messrs. Carter, McDonald, & Go. have been compelled to abandon the task of constructing an administration from their own side of the House, and are now suing the Ministerialists to join them in the formation of a coalition Government. Under the head of “ very latest,** the Montreal Herald of Monday announces that an interview was to take plaoe on that day be tween Hon. Mr. Blair and Sir E. F. Tache in rela tion to the formation of a coalition upon a broad basis. Everything was to remain in abeyance until after this consultation. T3LBGBAM. FROST QUEBEC, 28TH.

Macdonald has finally determined to accept of no position in the projected Administration, sur rendering the to Mr. Campbell. The Bon. S. Reed barcome down, but it is stated that he declines to acoept office. The Ottawa men met last sight, and a meeting of the friends of the pro jected Government was also held, and, while their proceedings are kept secret, it Is not concealed that considerable diversity of opinion was manifested as to the course to be pursued.

Mr. WADE called up tbe House bill to provide a tem porary government for tbe Territory of Montano. Mr. WILEINKOA offered an amendment to the sixth section striking out the words * ‘free white male inhabi tant, ” and inserting “male citizen of tbe United States, or who shall have declared bis intentions to become such. ” Tbe clause refers to the qualification for voters and eligibility to office. Ur. JOHHBOH bi ifflr stated the reatcrai which would cause him to vote against tbe amendment. The Proposed Amendment to the Constl- tution. The morning hour expired, and the Senate proceeded to the utfinished business of yesterday, the joint reso lution amendatory to the Constitution. -Mr. DaVIS said there was so subject more important to tbe people than the proposed amendment of tbe Con stitution. The general reason assigned for this action, that slavery was tbe cause of the rebellion, struck him as very unsound. He would be perfectly willing to ae knowiecgetbe guilt of Massachusetts and South Caro lina. anc abolish both of these States. If this had been done thirty years ago, this war would not have oc curred, Be was opposed lo the present measure for many reasons. It strikes at one of the most vital aad essential principles of oar mingled system of National and State Governments He held that when a State was in the performance of its dntle* in obedience to the Constitution, that it was ei titled to immunity from the infraction of its local laws on the part of tbe Govern ment. Any other principle would be a despotism Theie amendment* would destroy a fundamental prin ciple of tho Constitution, interfering with and stripping tho people of a loyal State where slavery exists of their undoubted constitutional rights. It would also, ha ar gned, if extended, deprive them of their right to regu late any of their domestic institutions. Slavery was the creatuie of local law alone. Upon what pretext, then, did Senators assert that Congress had jurisdiction over it in sovereign States. He denied any such power, either In Congress or the Executive. When the founda tions of our beneficent Governmentfrvere laid by such master- minds as Washington. Jefferson. Adams, and their compeers, and it was now proposed to revise their work, to destroy its harmony and uniformity, In order to attempt to Improve it, the country demanded to koow the mighty reasons therefor, and there should be calm and settled judgment when this great change and im provement is made. The professions of President Lin coin were modeit te enough in the beginning, and if he had not listened to the whispers of fanaticism, and had been guided alone by patriotism, what a name he would now have in the breast of every lover of his country After his repeated violation of his promises, was he to tiusttbe President? Never. Mr. DAVIS arraigned tbe President at great length for military interfeience in elections In Kentucky, Missouri. Maryland, and Delaware, to promote the election of Representatives friendly to his cause. He considered that tbe most atrocious and impudent usurpation of the President web his proposition for the raconstrnelton of State governments. This was a power alone to be exer cised by Gcsgrees, according to the declsi m of the Su preme Court. He thought the President should be im peached, for the purpose of vincicatng the freedom of ihe American people. He accused the President of politi cal juggling In splitting old Btates into various new ones, and creating others which could not show the re quisite bona fide population required by the law. There was Western Virsinia. Southern Virginia, and Virginia How many more Virginias we would have, he did not know. He knew Virginia wan ciren fifteen, Tennessee ten, Louisiana seven- and Arkansas five electoral votes while these new States were about to be admitted with out the requisite qualifica.ion oi an electoral vote of twelve. In the absence of bis military power, he did not believe the President would have dared to do what he hasdone. With a Constitution overthrown, the Government was at an end. as that alone was Its life and its soul. The way to preserve tbe Government was to preserve the revived rights of the States under the Constitution. He believed, religiously, that tbe present Executive was bent on the destruction of this Gove nioent, if he deemed that necessary to continue himself in power. Though he grieved to say It, he did not know which government threatened the people most, that if the r»bel Jefferson Davie or the usurper Abraham Lincoln. He wished to see all usurpers struck down by tho voice of the people at the polls. He was for any organization, any party, any power, any candidate on Mod’s earth, except a negro, for the overthrow of Abraham Lincoln He would take Fremont or Chase. He believed them to be plain and candid men, and he loved a man who acted in tod’s open sunshine. With cl* convictions of the President’s policy, of his ambition, his sinister purposes for the future, hie deter* urination to clutch all tbe powers he could grasp to se cure his re* election, and that these successful usurpations Will beheld op by him and bte supporters in justlfloa tion of his crimes against tho Constitution, he (Mr. Davis) believed that the highest interest*} of our com mon country demanded his deft at in h’s attempted usur pation and re- election, and»su far as his feeble will and acts could go. he Intended to defeat him. The Senate then wens into executive session, and sub aequenUy adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Much time was spent on the consideration of a report frem the Rav.al Committee proposing to refer to the Court of Claims the settlement of the claim of William Wlecler Bubbell, for the Government ase of his patent thunderbolt shell and fme, the compensation not to ex reed #ICO.OOO. The subject was referred to the Court o? Claims. Ob motion of Mr. TEAMAN, of Kentucky, the Com mittee cd Milltsry Affairs were instructed to inquire into tbe practicability anu utility of furnishing and using as a military hUhway the ra lroad between Henderson, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee, and report hy bill or otherwise.

He now made the charge, ana demanded a committee to investigate the whole subject of printing * >I Mv < &TBVI?H B * of Pennsylvania, said the bill made ihe Currency Bureau a part of the Treasury Department; but the gentleman's amendment was based on a different Srisciple. Ho honest and intelligent man had charged ie Bec*etary °f the Treasury with corruption. Since the days of Hamilton no purer or abler man had filled the office. Mr. BROOKS amendment was rejected. Mr. PIKE, of Maine, offered one in effect to make the barks simply banks of deposit, and to issue only the notes of the t-overnment, the people, so far as he knew* being veiy well satisfied with greenbacks. Mr. HOOPhR. o! Massachusetts, said If the gentleman was sincere, he would accept a substitute, that it shall not be lawfal for any person, association- or c poratioa to ißsne any note, cheek, or other evidence of ladebted ness designed or calculated to circulate as money, that would cover tbe whole subject. Mr PIKE could not accept the substitute, for the rea son that it was In conflict with a decision of the Supreme Court, who. Is the Kentucky cose, held that the issues of State hanks were constitutional. The propositions were rejected. Mr. fjROOES offered an amendment to deprive the Se cretary of the Treasury of prescribing the devices and form of the notes, saying the vast money power of the country should be divided as much as possible, and not lodged in the handsof one man without limit of respon sibility Such consolidation and concentration of power was frightful, jle endorsed what Mr. Stevens said of Secretary Chase, but be'now repeated what he said on a former occasion—namely, he had never known through ont bis pnblio life any one ao surrounded and enveloped with io many unprincipled men as was the Secretary. Four hundred and fifty thousand dollar* were made from the sale of the five-hundred-miliion loan, and it was his belief that the money thus obtained waß used by the opponents of Lincoln to establish anti-Lincoln elubs and newspapers in New York and eUewhere. Mr. feTAYBNS raid thi-- was but a repetition of re marks the gentleman had heretofore made. He was glad the gentleman conceded there was one honest man in the Trea«ury Department. He wished as much could be said of Secretary Chase's predecessor, daughter J He did not know who the gentleman meant in ms re* mark that a dishonest man was superintending the printing of money. Such vague denunciations were easily made. These were the weapons of the small man of the party- The weiuans of skirmishers, not used by the main body of the party, as to 9450.000 being put into the pockets of somebody, did the gentleman sup pose there were no expenses in issuing and taking in the S6OOXOOXOO loan which w&b not taken until after agents were employed. He could scarcely believe monied men were so liberal ai to establish anti-Lincoln clubs and newspapers. If It were not for the high authority of the gent'eman he would not believe a word of it. He did not know of anti-Lincoln clubs or newspapers being established. Did the gentleman refer to such clubs ana newspapers established by his own party to trot out McClellan, in order to-glve a stronger race and exercise to the present Presidential incumbent? He had no idea the gentleman and his friends were in earnest to run him, for McClellan could not raise * trot when a forward movement was in question CLaughter.] If anti-Lincoln movements were in progress they would not have beard of them but for the gentleman from Hew York. There was perfect harmony here. If such move ments exUt they were not alarming, and would prodace nothing more rom the President than a pertinent joke. CL&ughter ] Some wild vision haunted the imagination of the gentleman from Mew York., .... Mr Brooks' amendment was rejected- He replied to Mr. Stevens, saying it was a numerical and alHebraic *1 charge ie made against the Secretary or the Treasury and hie enrroundinge. This charge -war. that without law the Secretary issued five hundred millions of five twenties. and gave somebody four hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a premium on the sale of the bonds. It was true, as the gentleman said, heqelongeato no party. He would not wear the collar some gentlemen do even if it were of gold. He would not belong to a party if its mechanism were of tbe same material, His object is, the house was to do right, independent of all parties. Ha repeated he would not be a party dog to wear a party collar In times of civil war. Hie constituents elected him to vote for the Administration when it was right, and to oppose it when wrong. He did not come hereto make McClellan President. However you arrange your mechanism and combina* tionß. unless you. reatore the Dnlou by frugality in ex- Senditurea. and successes by the army, you will be ornedown. Independently of your present efforts. The public money was being appropriated in the ranks of the Republican party to produce trouble ana divisions. He stood here as one of the guardians of the treasury, and would not trust thousands of millions to the custody of one man. An amendment was adopted striking out the rate or seven per cent, interest, and amending the thirtieth sec tion so as to provide that every association may charge onanyloau or dltcount, &c.. at a rate established by law in ihe State where such institution shallbe located* The section was further amended so that ihe rate of interest shall not exceed six per cent. If more than this be paid, double the amount may be recovered by suit. Mr. STEVENS, who had opposed these amendments, move d that the committee rise, in order to give the Com' mitteeon ways and Me>ns an opportunity to consult, ard determine whether they wanted the hill to pass. The motion was agreed to. Reconstruction. The House again went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on ttae President's message. Mr. AfrHLEY, of Ohio, in a speech, advocated a bill for tbe reconstruction of the Staes subverted or over thrown by the rebellion. The relation of States to the Federal Government may nominate and cease. His de sire was to provide again*t the repetition of the crime in the future- and to subjugate such State by the sword, holding military possession, and until the peo ple shall reorganize State Government under the ac tion of Congress, subject to the Constitution of the Untied states. In the absence of law, the President bad so power to re-establish State government, or pre scribe the terms on which they may De readmitted into the Union The military and the civil power can not be exercised at the same time without confusion. Ho effort should be made to forestall the action of Con gress by the exercise of the military power. He pro tested against the carrying out of any policy in the resonsti uction of States by the Executive irrespective of the control of Congress. He wanted no such, ex ecutive precedent established—no such exercise of doubt ful constitutional power. He opposed it now as he would were his opponents in possession of the Govern ment. In the course of his remarks he reviewed the conduct of General Banks, saying that that officer’s pro clamation as to politics in Louisiana was an assump tion of power and au outrage on civil rights.

The original resolution was favored by Messrs. Hop kin*, Clymer, Wallace, and Lamberton, and were op posed hy Messrs. Johnson, Lowry, Fleming, St. Clair, and Wilson. T* e Republican members assumed the position that tbe resolution was only intended to male political capi tal. and that both branches of the Legislature had al ready sanctioned an act to increase the pay of soldiers. The Democrats, on the other hand, asserted that the resolution was offered in good faith, so that the pay of the soldier would not be reduced with the depreciation of tbe currency. The discussion took a wide range, embracing the ques tion of the loyalty or disloyalty of the Democratic party. It was charged that aueh reiolutione os the above were calculated and intended to embarrass the Government The Senators on the Democratic side deolared the asser tion to be false. This issue gave rise to a personal con troversy between Messrs. Hopkins and Johnson, The depreciation of the currency and the rise in gold were discussed.

Dinner to the Mexican Minister. —A grand dinner came off last night at Deimonico’s, given to Sen or Romero, the Juarez Mexican minister to this Government, by several of our most prominent citi zens—Mr, Hoadley, president Panama Railroad; M. E. Dodge, Jos. w. Beckman, Wm. B. Duooao, J. J. Astor, Hammersly, Wm. H. Asplnwall, Geo. Bancroft, Hamilton Pish, and others. The speeches, made by Mr. Geo. Bancroft, Mr. Beekman, and others, were understood to be vigorous protests in favor of the Monroe doctrine, oompliment to the Belgian King, who is father-in-law to the Arohduke Maximilian.—A T . Y, Express, Public Entertainments. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher’s lecture to* night, at the Academy of Music, will doubtless bea fine specimen of oratory. All of this gentleman l * efforts have been well received in this oity, our lec ture going public being always present in crowds. His subject, “Power: the Law of its Distribution,” is interesting and suggestive. We advise aU who* desire an opportunity of hearing Mr. Beecher to visit the Academy to-night, as this lathe lastlecture" be will deliver here this season. Simmons, the Illusionist.— This mysterious in dividual, whose performances are said to set the evidence of our senses completely at defiance, and upset all our preconceived notions of cause and ef. feet, has just arrived in the oity, and will commence a series of bis magical sdanoes on Monday evening next, at Concert Hall. He accomplishes aU his feats without the aid of apparatus, and performs all the most remarkable tricks of the jugglers of Oriental countries, as well as most of the remarkable things which modem charlatans do, professedly by means of spiritual agencies. Among these are the 11 Blood-Red Writing on the Arm, 11 with which Home and Forster mystified the publio of -London and Paris, and the spiritual calcu lation upon which most test-mediums base their claims. If he does half which we have heard he performs, he will create a sensation. Walnut-street Theatre.— To-night, Miss Laura Keene and her comedy company will appear in anew and highly*interesting play, entitled “Ra chel, the Reaper,” dramatized from Charles Reade’s popular work, “ Clouds and Sunshine.” Miss Laura Keene will personate the character of Mr. Dyott the Old Corporal , and Mr. Levick the part of Dick Hickman. The piay is cast with the entire strength of tbe company. Grand Concert.— This evening a grand oonoert, in aid of the poor of St. Joseph’s Parish, will take place at Musical Fund Hall. The singers for the ocoasion are amateur and professional, and an en tertainment of a most pleasing and 'gratifying character may be expected. Tbe Circus.— Mr. T. King and M’lle Virginia will make their first appearance this evening at the Circus in a splendid act of horsemanship, entitled 11 Burns* Dream.” Miss Lehman, the celebrated Spanish artiste, will also appear. Large Positive Sale of Dry Goods, &c.— The early particular attention of dealers is requested to the valuable and general assortment of American, British, French, and German drygoods, palm hoods, &c„ &o.| embracing 657 packages and lots of ehoice and desirable staple and fancy articles, in cottons, linens, woolen, worsteds, and silks, to be perempto rily sold, by catalogue, on four months’ credit, and part for cash, commencing this morning, at ten o’clock, to be continued without intermission, all day and part of the evening, by John B.

THE OITY, [for additional city news, see fourth page.] A Colored Soldier Killed.— Several weeks ago a colored man, named George Wells, oameto this oity from Delaware, and enlisted in the 26th Regiment TJ, S. Colored Troops. He subse quently decetted. and, under tbe name or Haws, jbined the 43d Regiment. On Thursday last he aoted very unruly, and, for so doing, was placedin the guatd-house. While there he threatened to kill the guard with a knife, but was frustrated. The ser geant of the guard, named Coffey, of the 321 Regi ment, was called, and the prisoner also threatened to bill him. He immediately reported the ease to Colonel Wagner, commander of the post. The Colonel deliberated a few minutes, and finally gave him orders to take the kDife from the prisoner, and, if he resisted, to shoot him. The sergeant proceeded to carry ont the instructions given him, but the Srisoner, instead of giving the knife up, drew it on im again, and the sergeant instantly lifted his gun »i>d shot the man dead. The Colonel commended him for bis strict adhesion to orders given. The body of the dead man was buried in camp. Depasture of a Regiment.— The 09 th Ef giooent Pennsylvania Volunteers, Colonel A.iher S. Leidy commandim*, paraded through a number of our atreeta jesterday, accompanied by Beok'a Band. In response to an invitation given, they proceeded to the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon where a substantial dinner was set Before them, which they done ample justice to. Subsequently they marched to the depot, at Broad and Prime streets, and took the can for Oheiter, where they will be quartered until ordered to active service. Smuggling Whisky.— One day last week three colored women were caught in the act of smug gling whisky to the soldiers' quarters at Camp Wm. Penn. They were searched, and from one o( them was taken no lew tban ten qnarta of the polsonoas Ore water. She, being more unruly than the rest, had her head shaved. They were gu paraded up and down the camp with card, fastened to their back containing the worda “ I brought whisky in camp.” Before being released they promised to sin no more. It i« not very likely that they will practice auch a dodge again. The Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon,—Very few peisona In this city have an idea of the amount of money expended weekly for the support of this saloon. During the present year there have not been aa many soldiers fed as in former times, and consequently not ao much money expended. The following shows the articles put chased, with coat, for only two weekt this month: meat, $4OB 72; coffee, $125 86; butter, $-246 07; su gar, $B7 93; milk, $37.44; cheese, $7-2.52; bread, $lOO.
