HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. • G.MILBJ,L DZIIATIL [The Brat part of the proceedings were teditthrniebed no.] - Mr. DAWES replied to the argument of Mr. CUllete. He said he heard with some apprehengen that that gentleman not - only thought It right, but mutton. plated an attempt o .t the part of those who might bare the power or right to break up the original Constitution of this G over nment, compounded of the States and of the people of the whole , nation. The contemplated amendnientanggimed by the gentleman from Illinois would be a basica of tho'pUghted filth of weary State that bad come into tke.Union under the Constituttor. The late war had been wades to put down the heresy of State sovereignty. Let It not, ne prayed, mark all. the decay of State rights.

Be referrociao the success of the system In France, Switrailand and Belgium, and to the cheapness of telegraphic mem. Mos in those countries. Mr. FARNSWORTH, Chairmaned the Posh:glee Committee, alleviated that the comparlsoe was not a fair one, as the population of Belgium was four hundred SO the square mile, and that of the United States but tin to the square mile. WASEIBURNE said be would re. ~fer to that before he got through:.

And the fur ther purpose of my bill is to give press dispatches t's the ent , re prase of the country at a /03X rate than now furnish ed to the favored few who now compose the close corporation known as the "As dated Prem.' Mr. PETERS uked Mr. Wubbnrne whether hls proposition NIBS to establish the telegraph system u extensively as the postal system was now established? Mr.WASEIBURNE replied bathe affir mative. Mr. PETERS remarked that there wore thirty or forty telegraph offices In Maine that did not pay exp.nses. Mr. WASHBURNE said it would in. traduce a ',bill to provide for the estab lishment of a telegraph office at every postoftice in the United States where the gnaw receipts amounted to a given sum, on which:he had not yet determined. He believed this coun.ry4ln consequence of long distances, was much more favor able to the altDceteful adoption of the system then Belgium or Switzerland. Mr. FARNSWORTH wished to know whethir Mr. Waahburne proposed that the Government should buy the existing lines Mr. WASRSUBNE replied he did propose the Government should pur chase them. Mr. FARNSWORTH—At the apprals ed value? Mr. WiLEIHBURNE—Prealsely Mr. ORTH addressed the Committee on quantum • pertaining to the public debt and its • permanent adjustment, national banks and currency, specie pay ments and the revision of the tariff, and internal revenue questions. The taxes, he said, should be so adjusted by wise and prudent legislation, that the burden will fall as lightly as may be on the la boring men, and the wealth of the coun try wilt not receive undue exemptions. Enormous aa was the. national debt, the Coul2tri had the ability to pep it, and Of its willingness there remained not a doubt. Repudiation found no counte nance or support in any locality, but was shunned and abhorred as an enemy of the country. The first step to betaken was to enforce rigid economy in all branches of the.pnblio service, and to see that not a dollar of public revenue Is Stolen or diverted from its legitimate purpose. He believed the army should be reduced to 20,000 and that the expen ses of the navy might also be much di minished. The public lamb should be husbanded, made the sonrall of revenue and to secure homes for actual settlers. As to the Interest paid on the public debt, he believed the rate °rex per cent. not only added directly to the burdens of the people, but had a most Injurious ef fect upon business interests, by drawing to Investment In pubila bonds capital which would otherwise be invested In business. Congress should at the pres ent cession provide legislation far fund ing and consolidating the public debt at not over four per cent. As to National banks, he favored the removal of the present limit to the amount of circula tion and capital: in other words, the in corporation in the present banking sys tem-of the principles of free banking. This would allow the withdrawal of the legal tender note/4 and their retirement would naturally - and necessarily be fol lowed by specie payments, se gold and silver would then be the only legal ten. der. A. to tariffs, he argued that tariff laws Should be enacted for the sake of revenue and not for the sake of protec tion. The present tariff needed thorough revision and very general reduction, whilethe free list should be very gen erally enlarged. As to internal revenue, he thought that was sanceptible of still further reduction and that the duties should be confined to spirits, fermented liquors, tobacco, sales, gross receipts,- banking and st amps on conveyances. Such • Purley he •be advocated .would stimulate egricalture, trade and coos meroe, build up American towns and cities, construct railroads and other works of internal Improvement, and en. able the people under the providence of God to enter upon a career of unexam pled prosperity. Mr. LOUGHRIDGE next addressed the Committee, urging the neceasity of economy in all branches of the public service, and indicating how very exten sively and property the present expendi tans of the Government could be *Undo- -Mr..ELDßlDGE, a ll o rring to the re. marks of Mr. Dew - when the re construction measure were Introduced by the Republican party, be felt 110 doubt the day would come, and come soon, when those who were most ardent is ad vocacy of the destruction of States and of the rights of States. would be heard to pray just as the gentleman from Muse ehusede had been heard to pray to-day. He hoped now the gentleman trout hiss. uettusetts hail taken that position. The gentlemen on the other side, netwith. standing the ruin which they brought upon the country, would reconsider the course they had punned and. come back to the position occupied by the fathers of the Republic. The Union depended for its life on the maintenance of the rights of States. The Union had been uplifted and was upheld by States, It had no existence except in the life ['CO* States, and must fall when the States were destroyed. He hoped tZaiN , entleman from this time forward stand with those .on the Demo.. matte side, in defense of the rights of Mr. DAWES begged the gentleman from Wisconsin to make the distinction —the Mitre to make which by hie party had Involved. the country In the Wren war—between State rights and State sovereignty. Some further colloquy took place between Messrs. Eldridge and Dawes. but It embraced a mere. repetition of the views exposed in the foregoing. Mr. SARGENT addressed the commit tee on the subject of mixing and mining taws In California. Mr. KERR spoko of the nea3aidty of !normally the number of Federal ootirta In Indiana.

At the opening of the Suez Canal, Says the correspondent of the London News, there were, on the sands 'of the Mediter raneanrE and about an eigh th oft- de from the harbor, three state Meeks , c.. h the largest, was spacious and with I two wings held three hundred people. This was for the Khedive, his royal, and smite of his eclesistical guests. lt had two openings, each gained by a carpeted stair- CM; and the whole structure was. open all around, its one flooring or platform being some twelve feet from the ground. It was reached from the harbor by a temporary roadway, guarded by Egypt ian soldiers, along the elesespace of which the royal and a few other of the K.hedive's guests walked on foot, taking their seats with backs to the town, with the harbor and its countless flags on their right, and the Arab quarter and the strip of sand dividing Lake Merman from the • sea stretching far away on the left hand. The canal was not visible. Between this state structure and the Mediterranean were two smaller kiosks, each facing it, the one on the left painted green and white, being deititute of internal decora tion, and containing six Russell:mut mol albs, all of high rank in the Mohammedan Church; the one to the right being fitted with an altar laden with a sliver cross and massive candlesticks, and filled with bearded priests of the Greek Church, monks, and acolytes In scarlet. Between these two and forming a background to them, ro lled the open sea; between them again and the first kiosk were the suds. A handful of bystanders were yermitted to occupy the intervening apace, but the vast majority of the spectators lined the road from the harbor and kept their posi tion during the proceedings, Standing between the three kiosks, you saw the faces in each, and utile principle or vice regal one filled, the central space between its wings, occupied by Coptic and Armen ian priests, bearded and , gowned, and each looking like the conventional Merch ant of Venice as seen on the British stage, became s mug of brilliant color. Mr. Elliott, Her Majesty's representative at Constantinople; in diplomatic uniform of blue and gold, sat on the extreme left. Next him MU the Queen of Holism', In pale lavender silk; then the Khedivg, in fez and Turkish uniform, with the grand cordon of the Mediji, across his beast. The Empress of the French came next, and It was admitted on all hands that her Majesty never looked more lovely. Drap ed in a delicate lilac silk with many flounces and much white lace; the double skirt of the said dress being looped up, and Its body cut in evening fashion; the fresh violets the Empress wore beneath the locket on her neck relieved the dainty little hat surmounting her dark brown hair. Very animated, and with her deli cate complexion not even touched by the Nile stn, Her Majesty chatted with the Emperor of Austria in jsger uniform on her left, or interchanged 'a few words with the Crown Prince of Prussia in full uniform, in apparently high spirits, and as if resolved to please. Prince Oscar of Sweederi and Prince Louis of Hesse, both in uniform, were the two other occupants of front seats; and immediately behind the Empress the worn-lined face of Abdel Rader peered from beneath a white bur. note. Age has not bleached the old chief's hair, nor dimmed the brightness of his eye, and men needed to be told that this was the venerable hero whose name was the world's talk scarcely a generation since. M. de Lessem the Viceroy's Minister, Lord Houghton, in Deputy Lieutenant's uniform, and other leas noted personages, filled the rear, and directly all were in their plates, one of the mollate In the Moaselman kiosk, a grave man, ' .who with whim beard-and in this-holy ghee, commenced the proceedings by. reading reading an extract from the Koran. Then 1 the patriarch of Alexandria and the priests of his church, knelt at the altar in the other kiosk, and offered up prayers, after which the ships in the harbor fired many volleys, and then there was a momentary stir among the crowd on the steps, and Monsignor Bauer, as representative of the Roman Catholic Church, came for ward. The interest culminated now. The whispered remarks of comment or explanation which had passed hitherto between the Viceroy, the Queen of Hob land, the Empress Eugenie and the Em peror of Austria, ceased. A great quiet ness, too, felt upon the crowd, and so with-the turbaned Shieks—one of whom we recognized as having played a promi nent part in the rite of the Dosch when the prostrate bodies of the faithful were ridden over a few days since—gazing cu riously from one kiosk; and the gorgeous and gaudy figures of the Greek priests gazing down on him from the other, Monsignor Bauer, standing on the steps of the latter building, began his eloquent oration.'. The velvet boret, robes and gloves, the apostolic ring, sonorous voice, and appropriate action of this ecclesiastic made his every word tell.. His Reverence spoke at considerable length, and .to this effect, so modulating his voice that though the space was considerable between him and his royal hearer", not a syllable was lost: "The final hour has struck- At length, then, the problem has been solved which btu formed the thought of ages. An era is closed. East and West salute each other across the Isthmus. Human ity celebrates its festlie day. -The mate eel grandeur of the enterprise we cele brate la the feature which first strikes us; but its physical greatness is far less Im portant than its moral aspect Throigh shy channel the civilization of two Worlds will be fused tylosther. It is fitting now , to pay respect to those who have brought this great work to a conclusion." • • After somewhat elaborate compliment' to thelChedive u the regenerator of Egypt, the Empress es the consistent patron of the undertaking, and to the Emperor of Austria and to the otherpotentates assem bled, the orator paid an eloquent tribute of respect to IL Laseps as the modern Columbus, to whom the universe owed a debt of gratitude. Monsignor Bauer wound up his harangue by an appeal to his auditors to raise their thoughts hum thin union of two hemispheres to the yet higher-union between reanand his Maker, and - by imploring the blessing of bort; deuce upon the fruits of the canal, which 1 he formally pronounced in be open.

Here is a problem for the psychiffo gists. Is not the carriage of corpulence a sufficient affliction, but that a man should particle his paunch and exult in his excess of tissue ? It cannot be that misery loves company, because the fat man is not miserable. But be considers himself and his brethren a peculiar peo ple, and he Is zealous of good wurlui. The purely physiological difference be tween himself and his leaner brethren he exalts Into a social barrier, and endeavors to erect a cote upon corpulence. "Adipose ssue," according to the an thorities, "Is the membrane that contains the fatty particles, or, rather, which sep arates and keeps apart those particles, which are of polygonal and reniform shape, and of microscopic -size." But what ground is there in this for a society? Fat affects disposition. Human jollity is known to bear tome relation to human rotundity, and it would seem that in the eagerness e men to devise new methods of enjoyment it occurred to them that they might, lead the ordinary festivities of the IeMIKM with their own organic unction. Bo the fallings got • togeth er to offer themselves to Terpsi. chore. Fat is only another name for vanity, and the moment it was suggested to the fleshy mourners af ter mirth that they were to be afforded an opportunity to aggregate their grossness; into one grand, snood, roistering row. ,de-dow, the whole dominion of obesity bestirred itself. Fat and lbw function aries In tar away places sent in their names; aldermen of distant and dim cities; men of weight if not wisdom rolled up from ail quarters; and alas those who were riot illustriously but only approxi mately obese, resorted to all sorts of ex pedients to inflate, to extend, to increase the mortal coil which in the delusion of the moment was thought to be the great desideratum. We fear that the candi dates for admission, many of them, adopt. ed a false and feminine trick of cotton and underclothes, with the foolleb infatua tion that bundle and .not-'bowela would stand the test of this charivari. Others are known to have themselves extended by mammarlal balm and other patent ee -1 Teton; and in one cue a lean and slip ! pored pantaloon was blown up to Inordi nate capacity by a week's diet on dried apples. It is still:Went to say that he was punctured early In the evening by a sharp but greasy joke, and consisted to the dir may of a tender leviathan who saw him melt away from her massive arm like the dew of Hermon. But noble fat, the simon pure and honest article, came in quantity, in balls, la massive immensity, in trucks, in chartered drays, with the oil of gladness streaming down its face, and its bowels of mercy wabbling It mixed and melted, and for once the eyes of fatness stuck out with co opera tive gladness. But, reason or no reason, the ball was given. The fleet fat man darkened the doorway at 9:15. His name is so lost to &Me, for that he was speedily followed by several of his overgrown brethren. Small boys. pining with envy, gazed upon their pigmied shape,, and cheered lean and derisive cheers as they arrived. Some came in carriages, and issued thence peculiar, like the gent expanding from the bottle in the, "Arabian Nights;" so that, as the wonder in that case was. bow the bottle ever held the gent, so now the wonder was how the barouche was able to include the cubical and corpulent man who swelled from its narrow entrance. Some came on foot, and their vest•con verging hulk covered Irving place to south and to north, as if it had been the cloud of coming doom. Bat on foot or on horseback or in vehicular conveyance, the Jammu on his snivel was beaming, he smiled in vast creases, which un wrinkled the vast and placid expanses of his countenance Into corrugations of Ti tanic mirth. Roodsof cheek were charm ed 'up by his smile, and mountains of mirth shook when he laughed. Properly the fat man does not—laugh at all. He vents chuckles, which eye him the ap pearance of an apoplectic Popocatepetl, and wheezes like the volcano which rum bees under Vesuvius. The bat clerk, who to meaner and leaner mortals is an'object of raging indignation, is to the fax man an incarnate and peren nial joke. The weird Afrites in the basement who beat you upon your protuberances with the bat end of brooms, under the absurd pretence of purgation, and in hopes of pecuniary gnerdon, and who excite meagre men to frenzy by that process, belabored the fat man in vain. Ills articulations were all padded, and he defied their wrath, and let them work their wicked 'wills upon his broadcloth, and when they had done, he tranquilly withheld their fees and wheezed at their discomfiture. But the dancing was the acme of the whole. He who has only seen the fat man In repose can Dave little notion of the fat man in action. It is almost pro vertial that fat men dance well, but who could bare anticipated the greasy grace of these fat men? One noble swain par cel of dropaineas there was who merits special commendation. He cut pigeon wings. He did double shuffles. The beams creaked under bii buoyant bulk, and the frescoes of Garibaldi creaked over : his head. But still he kept his course. The wax of the floor was over laid with his drippings. The incautious persona who ventured Into the shadow of his disc had their dress coats covered with grease spots. But sq long u the musicians would blow for him, that fat man bid his lean and agile partner from the public view.: It was as galvanism upon adipocere. When he cut his ulti mate caper and sauntered fatly to his bench, the chbers were long and load. The hero of the ball, or rather the ball, was Thomas Conway. He It called a boy.: He is a walking globe. The fat boy in Pickwick was but a type of him. His age is officially put at six, but it fa simply impossible that the human nutri tive powers are capable, in six years; of forming the quantity of dune which he bears about. His head la a globe, with two flaps for an, two orifices for nos trils, a mere hint at eyes,and a crease for a month. Fair corpulence frowned hot on his humble birth, • and melancholy marked him for her own. Each fat min has an ideal of fatness, but it seems to be conceded that this fat boy is relied upon to reach it. Busch weighs 410 pounds. Fisk weighs MSS. But Diusiel Lambert weighed 7110, and the American fat maw swells with grief and emulation when be considers him. Bat tons Will be needed to measure the avoirdupois of Thomas Conway. if his life is spared; but that Is absurd, if his life is rounded to the term of the bloated Englishman 'who remains the ultimate achievement of adiposity. Of course, the fat man was supreme at supper. Bushels of lobster-salad disap peared before him. Gallons of oysters vanished In the recondite recesses 'of his giant tale. Into his "trunk of humors" pyramids of lee.creani were packed. He dispersed not, until the last fragment of the repast had succumbed. And Its liquid accompaniments made him hilarious, but not unseemly. Two platoons of pollee attempted to arrest one of him. But they could not surround him, and their Innoc uous locusts were unable to reach a sect. sltive part of him. And so he flowed fsally,on to bed.—.7r. P. Work/.

"Not many years ago," said Mr. F— "the mercantile COMMUnity were annoyed by an immense amount of spurious paper most dextrously pat in circulation. Checks were presented at the principle banks signed by the firms of prominent houses, and money in the aggregate to nearly ;t50,000 obtained upon them- The peculiar circumstances of the ease die closed the fact that the forger resided In the city, and for months we were on the qui airs to detect the criminal.

Aside from the reward, which was ample, our pride was interested in oetemieur the person who, almost before our very eyes, practiced such open frauds. One day I saw a lady• paying for a bill of goods with,a check. Mbfore she bad time to leave the store I obtained a look at the paper, and was satisfied it was not genu ine. Still I was not certain. The lady was deeply veiled, and I was subjected to the alternative of following her. This I did and traced her home. - It was a beautiful little cottage, with a large yard - and garden.

The perfume of orange blossoms :mingled with the odor of the rose. and the senses were delighted with the evident beauty that pervaded the place. I hastened back to the place where the check wu passed, and which Mr. I— liad already ascertained to have been forged. We had now obtained a clew which, if carefully pursued. we were sat. isded would lead.to the detection of the We waited until Morning, and it was then determined that I should - visit her alone. I did so, and found the la.iy seated In a pleasant little parlor, looking out on the miniature lawn. The room was exquisitely furnished and breathed an air of evident rstlnement. It was fit ted up as a pleasant lounging place, half library, half music-room . Beautiful paintings hung from the walls, and in a recess was an elegant piano. Near It was a statue of the Titaness ifrunnosyni, and opposite it stood a marble creation of the dance•losing Terpsichore, and from the center of the richly carved writing' desk rose a beautiful Polymnia, with her linger pressing the lips, brimming with dases filled with books, and vases of Arabesqueb of gold, filled with flowen, were scauered through the room. The lady reclined in an cup chair, and re. calved the announcement of my name with evident embarrassment. Still she received me with great politeness, and inquired "to what circumstance she was to attribute my business?" "I do not know, madam, that it Is to you, as yet; but may I inquire if your husband is In?" • "I am a widow, sir."

"What is the purport of ell this?" "To Inquire from whence you obtained It." . "That I cannot tell you, air!" "I trust, madam, you will reconsider your last remark, for otherwise it will be my duty to arrest you as the enralnaL" "And you would do this?" "It would be my duty." Her eyes lost on the Instant their eager look, and she turned aside her head. I could perceive from the workings of her countenance that she wee thinking rapid ly, intently.
