That the Committee on Education he directed to inquire into the expediency of amending the law in relation to the division of towns into school districts so as to provide for a uniform system of graded schools.

God- j frev et als., Judges of Probate for amendment of ^Probate laws. Referred to Committee on Judiciary. House. Thi rsdav. Jan. L'O. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Fi ller of Hallowell. Papers from the Senate disposed qf in con currence. Bill an act to amend chap. 195 of the pri vate laws of 1869. entitled an act to annex the city of Auburn to the city of Lewiston, had its several readings under a suspension of the rules, and was passed to be engrossed. A communication was received from the Secretary of State transmitting the resigna tion of William H. Paige as Representative elect from the district composed of the towns of Vinalhaven, North Haven and South Thom aston. On motion of Mr. Hinks the resignation was accepted, and the Speaker authorized to notify that district of the resignation of its Representative. Mr. Greek from the Committee on Agri culture, on petition of Luther Maddocks et als., reported a bill to incorporate the Algae Fertilizer Company. Read three times, rules being suspended and passed to he engrossed. Mr. Foss from the Committee on Manu factures, on order inquiring into the expedi ency of distributing copies of the work on the water powcT of Maine to Manufacturing Cor poration in New England, and foreign coun tries. reported legislation inexpedient. Bill an act to authorize the Belfast and Moosehead Lake Railroad Company to lease its road and for other purposes was. passed to be engrossed, rules being suspended. A communication was received from the Adjutant General in reply to the House, order requesting information as to the amount of money due the State from the several cities, towns ami plantations in the State with the sunt due from each, and the cause of such in debtedness, etc. Mr. Hume presented the following order Ordered, That a committee of seven on the part of the House, and three on the part of tho Senate be appointed to investigate the matter referred to in the communication this day made bv the Adjutant General to the House, and tnat said committee be empowered to send for persons, papers and records. Mr. Hi’he said he considered this an im portant matter to the State, and he begged leave to trespass upon the time of the House for a few moments to explain why he had in traduced the order. In 1868 the Legislature provided tor a com mittee upon assumption of war debts. That committee met and performed its labors awarding to the different towns of this State so much money for three years men, so much for two years men nnd so on. When the selectmen came here to receive their bonds which had been adjudged to be due them from the State Treasury by this commission, they found various sums opposite the numes of their towns, sent in from the Adjutant Gen eral's office. Take for instance the town of Tremont. They payed as they supposed every dollar of their war debts. They paid to brokers and others over $23,000 and they have their receipts. They raised three years ago more than one tenth part of their whole valuation to pay their war debt. They have been adjudged to hare so much money. They come here and they find opposite the name of their town $4,400 sent in from the Adjutant General’s office. The town of Orrington is a similar case and the agent of that town who came here and found how the state of affairs were, told his friends that he hardly dared go home for fear that the citizens might lynch him. This is the condition of affairs. It might la all right, but he thought the people of this State ought to know by what authority this was done. This commission have set. and in a few days their report will he placed upon our desks, and it will show the most damnable schemes of villany that was ever known out of hell. It will show to the people of this State that they have been robbed of tens of thou- sands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. The air is filled with rumors of individual j rascality, and the formation of firms for the carrying on of the nefarious work—paper credits, navy commissions and such things. Strong men have fallen under the influence of them, and he thought it time that we know the meaning of these things. If the Republi can party has got men in it that are corrupt. 1 let us know it. The rank and file of the i party are honest. They spent tneir treasure and poured out their blood to maintain the supremacy of the law and Constitution, lie believed tlie record presented here to-day a a part and parcel of the same villany which the people ought to know. He trusted the I order would receive a passage. Mr. Hug* said if there liad been any unfair play he would be the last one to oppose an investigation. Perhaps it could be ail ex plained satisfactorily to the members of tin- I House without the authority conferred in the j last part of die order. It was large power to give a committee, audbe moved to amend the J order by staking out tliat part of it referring to tending for person* and papers, with tin- j view that if the committee find it necessary that it may La conferred u{>on them. Mr. Bonsai remarked that information bad been asked both of the Adjutant General and Bute Treasurer, by the Legislature in rela- tion to tins matter, but it hud not been fur nished. If this committee was to lie raised to investigate this matter, let them have fit 11 j power, so that the matter may he probed to the bottom. Mr. BTlCkkfe.1 advocated tin- passage of the i order without amendments. His constituents demanded an investigation. Mr. |H»VIS*| also advocated the passage of' the order at first presented. He was for ha» j an investigation. r. ¥iswtu. of Augusta, hoped the amendment to strike out would not lie adopt ed. The strength of the order would he en tirely withdrawn, lie had as much reason as any man in Maine for desiring a most thorough and oahaustive examination. II,, Uad been foully as tailed, wickedly aspersed. T,ut he did BOt think it just to the late Adjutant Genera] and State Treasurer to pass the order for an investigating committee, until the reply of the Department was read. It might he a com plete answer to the inquiry of the gentleman from Tremont. He moved that the commu nication from the Adjutant General and the order introduced by the member from Cherry tleld be printed, that the House may know upon what it is to act. It is an easy but odious tiling to assail private and official char acter. The gentleman from Cherryfield will do well not to give too much credence to the “rumors in the air.” Mr. Irish advocated as little delay as pos sible in the passage of the order. He had the honor of representing a small town. He had a communication from that town the other dav to see if he could exchange its bonds for cash. He went to the Treasury and found tin1 pitiable sum of 830e printed. He meant by a good writer one who could write plainly and rapidly, dispensing with flourishes altogether. He illustrated his mode of teaching writing, and offered valuable sug gestions to teachers. The slate and slate pencils can be profitably used. Teachers should provide and have a care over them. Let the scholars write things that will be of use—reviews of arithmetic lessons, history, grammar. Be careful that these reviews are not passed over in a slovenly manner. The transition from pencil to pen is simple and can t>e orougni aootu easily. In Lewiston writing is now taught in all the primary schools. The best specimen of pen manship he had seen in that vicinity came from a school where pen and ink was aban doned. and the pencil used. After the scholar had become a good writer, the philosophy of writing can be taught. He did not believe in any arbitrary rules for holding the pen. It should bo held in the manner which will be the easiest for the pupil. Write plainly at first; then rapidly. Mr. Stetson then pro ceeded to speak of drawing as intimately connected with writing. In fact it is inter woven with everything where skilled labor is required. Every child can be taught in free hand drawing. Children will be delighted with it. The boy who has been taught to draw can better guide the plow and is better fitted to pursue all the branches of mechan ical industry. Mr. Stetson closed by arguing that this delightful branch of study, rightly pursued would be of inestimable value to all practical men and women. Mr. Stetson, in the course of bis remarks, incidentally alluding to the high rates charged for school books, said he was pleased to learn that the report of Mr. Weils on the hydro graphy of Maine, a large and handsome vol ume, issued by the State printer*, had eovt list- State hot aboas bliy-five cent* per copy. The next v*»ay was upon "The School trict system," by 1 j. 1’. PoOfcv. ftspemwr of Sagadahoc- county He «**i the policy pur sued in the district *y»tem a ntneriaary, differing a* it does trow the management of all other matter* in our municipal affair*, ft virtually embraced a surrender to individual* of the right* belonging to the town*. It pro duce* confusion and disaster, and results in great and deplorable injury to the interest* of the common schools. The district system is held sacred on account of age, having been in operation during the life of the State, and even while it formed a part of Massachusetts. It was really but a staging erected by the father* until the superstructure was reared, hut its continuance demonstrated that their children had mistaken the temporary staging for the superstructure itself. This policy had been questioned by the best thinkers and teachers in the country they had oome to the conclu sion that it should be removed; either by a gradual process or at once by legislative en actment. The speaker, in concluding his es say, read copious extracts from the writings of eminent educations, allowing the advanta ges of the town over the district system. M. K. Maybry spoke briefly on the “Course of Study for Common Schools.” If the pres ent course of study continues we shall turn out men and women poorly prepared for all the duties of life. Our farmers must receive their education in the common schools. The elements of agriculture, now banished front the course of study, must be taught there. If the soil needs potash we should know it; if superpliospate is needed, we should know it, and be able to explain the reasons for using it intelligently. Girls should be taught the science of cookery. It is a fabt that large quantities of food are placed upon our tables so unpalatable, from ignorance of proper pro portions in making, as almost to disgust us with the attempt to masticate it. The study of physiology should be incorpo rated into the course—that we may look well to the laws that govern our physical systems. He would have reading lessons illustrated, bringing out from them aid explaining his tory, arithmetic and geography. Get all out the lesson you possibly can. Scholars who have this drill come to he useful men and cit izens. Mr. Corthell made a few remarks in regard to introducing new elements of study, after which the hoard adjourned to evening. Evening Session.—Mr. S. A. Plummer, Supervisor of Penobscot county, addressed the hoard for half an hour upon the subject of “Compulsory Attendance.” He said that the subject was pressing itself upon the se rious attention of educators. Non-attend ance thwarts all the efforts to improvement in schools. The State provide^ instruction, hut cheats herself by not compelling attendance upon that instruction. We arc deprived of one-lialf of the legitimate fruits of the schools, because one-half of the ”8,000 children of the State are absent from them. This is a waste of the State's generous expenditures. Opin ions arc various in regard to the question of compulsory attendance. Some are willing to trust to an intelligent ami educated public sentiment. This would do if the people were all educated; hut it is not so. Attendance upon these schools is necessary for the growth and development of this intelligence. If compulsory laws are thought arbitrary, we should remember that individual rights must bend to State necessities. The State must lie just to herself and to tier citizens. The pro tection of life ami property depends upon the I education of the people. It is wrong to take the people's money for schools without return ing a fair equivalent in educated citizens. In view of the deplorable effects of ignorance, the State has a right to demand that these children who are now in the school of ignor ance and crime shall attend the schools pro vided and fostered by the State. Ignorance is antagonistic to our form of government, and has in it the elements to overturn the entire superstructure. The State has no right to allow itself to be cheated by the negligence and avarice of parents. We have now laws looking to this end. hut they are dead and inefficient. As the law now reads, towns shall provide instruction, and may see that there is attendance. Let the State say that each town shall compel their attendance. Such a law would put one thou sand more scholars in the schools of his county. Mr. Hummer referred to other means to draw children to the schools and urged his fellow laborers to go forth into their fields feeling that they have a great work to perform. The President remarked that the various topics presented during the day were open for discussion, and he hoped all would feel free "to participate. Senator French id' Franklin county, spoke upon the district system, which he said was formerly the great centre of attraction. It is indeed the foundation upon which our com mon schools rest. The districts were former ly large, embracing a wide range of territory, and then- was no complaint ahout the long distance to the school house. But people have beyjpme refined and tender—impressed with the idea that there must be a school house at every man’s door, and so the districts have multiplied. But the notion that children can not go a mile to a good school is becoming exploded. He thought it was not necessary to abolish the district system entirely, thought tin- towns should exercise their judgment in uniting small districts. Then make the agent the financial head and intrust to the superin tending school committee the duty of provid ing teslchcrs. He was in favor of grading schools whenever it could be done. In re gard to a compulsory law. he thought the best method was to make the school so profitable and attractive that the children would he drawn into it of their own free will. The discussion was continued until the ad j journment by Messrs. Smith of Parsonsfield. Supervisor Plummer and others. The public meetings of this interestihg and we trust profitable session of the board will close this evening. In the afternoon at two o’clock an essay will be read hv W. S. Knowl ton, Supervisor of Piscataquis county, upon “Object Teaching," and one on “School Ar chitecture.” by C. T. Abbott. Supervisor of Hancock county. Supervisor Bigelow of this county is down on the programme for this af ternoon on the subject of “Text Books.” He has be- a absent most of the time from the meetings on account of sickness, and it is ex ttettaely doubtful if he will be present to-day. la Use lentng. at 7 o'clock, IV. T. Corthell, Supervisor of Washington county, will speak upon toe subject of “Classification of Schools.' Our citizens should certainly attend the meet lag this evening. Board of Agriculture. Lkwistow, Jan. 10. 1S70. Met in Lisbon Hall according to adjourn ment. President Wasson in the Chair. The President stated that the meeting may he considered a joint session of the Hoard of Agriculture and Farmers' Convention. The question of continuing the quarter of State Stipend for encouragement of Wheat culture was taken up. Remarks were made upon the question by Messrs. Fernald of Oro no. Wasson of Ellsworth. Williams of China. Goodale of Saco, Horn of Lewiston, Hodge of Jefferson. Mr. Goodale favored the continuance of the assistance, especially so that farmers may have encouragement to grow winter wheat, as he thinks it preferable to spring wheat for a crop. Mr. Swett of Oxford, said no winter wheat had been raised in his county for ten years. Mr. Ham of Lewiston, believed both spring and winter wheat can be raised. The great matter is to get them to sow it. The premi ums have not been competed for in Andros coggin. Thinks the money assistance should be continued. Mr. Norton of Franklin, said he had tried raising winter wheat, but it was entirely smothered or winter killed, probably by deep snows. Mr. Lucas of Somerset, said no winter wheat had been raised in his county for 20 years. Lives on a farm where wheat has been raised for many years and it has paid to raise it. Thinks the stipend should he con tinued. Mr. Thing of Kennebec, said the question is whether the societies are not better aware what they require than we arc. On motion of Mr. Chamberlain, the subject was laid upon the table, and a lecture delivered upon Agricultural Organization, by 1). 11. Thing, Esq., of Mt. Vernon. Tift lecture occupied about three quarters of an hour, was deeply interesting, and well received by the audience. The subject was then taken up for discus sion. Mr. Norton of Frunklin. said there has been a great advancement in farming since we older persons can remember, and one of the agencies by which it has been brought about is the agricultural associations and ex hibitions. He specified the different improve ments—implements, buildings, books and pa pers, etc. Mr. Martin of Auburn, said all institutions have been assailed in their time, and agricul tural societies are no exception. That is no cause for depression. Referred to greater educational advantages of to-day compared with tlie time of bis boyhood, and the (litler ence in prices, especially in stock. Hon. Simon Brown of Mass., offered a few words, and excused himself from extended remarks. Mr. Williams of China, said the horse trot ting portion of the annual exhibition is what pays tin- best, but it is almost a humbug.— Thinks certain restrictions should he placed upon it. and the Board should take some ac tion looking to that end. There is no consist ency i n ottering $.10 for the fastest trotter and insignificant amounts for other nrticlos. Mr. Martin continued. Ho said we must furnish to the people what the people like to see. Horse joekies have always behaved w ell i at the exhibitions in his county. The chil dren. tin' ladies ami the clergymen even, went to the horse trot. We must regulate these matters, each in bis own society.— Thinks it impossible to make a respectable and paying show without a fast horse on the ground. Mr. Brown inquired in regard ot whether horses are really injured by racing on .the track. Mr. Martin did not think so. Mr. Williams continued the discussion. Mr. Bodge of Lincoln, considers it of bene fit to horse raisers to visit horse trots that j they may select the best stock for breeding. Mr. Whittier of Vienna, said he attended the first agricultural exhibition in the State. j held in Kennebec county. We need some of the useful ns well as the ornamental at our J exhibitions—the racing is not all. Referred to English race horses and the method of pro- j eccding there. Alexander’s method of breed ing, and the sort of stock horses he selected in England for breeding in this country.— Would not allow horse joekies to get old run down racing horses from outside, in western states, and bring them in to compete for prizes nt our shows. Would encourage home kept horses, or horses kept in the county for stock purposes. Mr. Williams read from the rctnrns of his society to the Secretary of the Board, show ing that the premiums paid horse joekies was far in advance of the animals and articles. Mr. Thing said he knew of no other way to run a society successfully except by having horse trots at the exhibitions. Mr. Prince of Turner, said he had found by experience that we must have the fast horses to sustain the society—to draw the crowd and bring in the funds. We must make mankind over again before we can do away with horse trotting at our exhibitions. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Lucas, Williams, and Swett of Oxford. Adjourned till P. M. G. E. B. 1 mupniann. the murderer ol the Muck family, was executed at seven o'clock Wednesday morning. Notwithstanding the early hour the execution was witnessed by a great crowd of people who taunted and yelled at Traupmann as he mounted the scaffold. The culprit was very pale, but ascended courageously and with a firm step. After embracing the priest he cried out in a loud voice—“1 persist 1 have accomplices.” These were the last words he uttered. Extraordinary pre cautions had been taken to guard against disorder. The police and military were on the ground in great force, but their services were not needed.] Horal an!) £tatc Nctos. The first annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Portland and Ogdensburg Kailruad was held in Portland on Tuesday. The re ports of the President and Directors were read and accepted, and received with satisfac tion. On the four divisions, between Port land and Fryeburg village, there are, at pres ent, over 800 men at work, and from the pres ent appearance the road will be open for traffic between Portland and Fryeburg by the next year, providing reciprocal business conven ience for some half dozen distributing points of hardly less consequence than the terminal one. A preliminary survey through the White Mountain Notch has been most satisfactorily fuadc. The old board of directors were re elected: S. J. Anderson, John B. Brown, William Dcering, John E. Donnell, D. K. Hastings, H. N. Jose, W. L. Putnam and An drew Spring. At a subsequent meeting of tiie Directors the Board organized as last year: Gen. S. J. Anderson, President and Hon. A. E. Stevens, Treasurer. The Bath Times says, that Messrs. Bangs, Weston Co., at the North Steam Mill in that city, are doing a profitable business these dull times. They are engaged in the manufacture of doors, sash and blinds, and keep a general assortment of nil kinds of building lumber for sale. From their account of last year the fol lowing items are gathered Number of men employed for the year 41; amount of wages per month $1800; amount of lumber used 800,000 feet; value of doors, sash and blinds manufactured $05,000; amount of lumber sold $8000; amount of lumber on liand 000, 000 feet, including black walnut, black ash, cherry and chestnut. Nearly all the mer chandise manufactured by them is sold out of the State, and the amount paid the P. K., Kailruad by them for freight was between $3000 and $1000. About one o’clock yesterday morning, as we learn from the Whig, fire was discovered in the brick store on Exchange street, Bangor, occupied by Andrew Hurley, as a grocery. The engines soon checked the fire by a plenti ful supply of water, hut not until the store had been damaged to the amount of $500, and the goods slightly mixed with water. Eugusta Dimtorg.

The corpse of fat men start for Lewiston in the early train this morning. “YY’hat shad ows we are, and what shadows we pursue.” The greasy shadows of these illustrious heroes of innumerable and hard fought conflicts at tilt- dinner table, will march to-day in solid column through the streets of Lewiston. We hope they'll behave themselves and not “get the fat all in the fire,” by any attempt to "spread" themselves. We trust the manager of the fleshly show will exercise a tender solicitude over these bell y-cose sprouts from the banks of the Kennebec, and return them to the bosoms of their families in all tbeir native innocency. YVe were shown yesterday a piece of some of the first letter paper made in the United States hy James Fry, who built the first paper mill in this country. Mr. Fry was the Ureat Great-Grandfather of one of the firm of a prominent Rook Store of this city. On the slip shown us was a Rill from a School Mas ter (Abiah Holbrook) for tuition in Boston for a daughter of James Fry, which for penman ship has hut few equals at the present day. The paper made in those days was laid by hand, and some manufacturers in England still pursue that mode- of manufacturing, al though the perfections of machinery has en tirely done away with that slow process In this country as the water lines are imitated by the new process. Mr. Edward 1’. Whiting of East YVinthrop was in this city on YVednesday with a four-ox team, for the purpose of obtaining a hogshead of molasses at the store of Whitchousc Gould. While loading he missed his ox-goail, a very nice one, hy the way, and immediately procured a team at a stablo and proceeded towards YVindsor, in pursuit of suspected par ties who hail just loaded with goods at the above named store. After riding about six miles Mr. YVhiting overtook tin- suspected team and found his goad stick carefully con cealed on the sled of Mr. Elijah Moody. Mr. Moody, and James YVingate. who had assisted the former gentleman in loading the goods, were arrested for steuling the goad. After an examination yesterday in the municipal court it was adjudged that Moody was innocent and Wingate the guilty party. YVingate was fined $1 and costs, amounting in the aggregate to 811.GO. Mr. YVhiting says that the value of the goad didn't enter at all into the consider ation, but the case was of such an aggravated character that when Yu- found the goad in pos session of the guilty -party V felt as though his weight was sufficient to entitle him to a seat in tlie fat men’s convention. The Masquerade Ball at liardlner. The Fourth Annual Masquerade Ball came off in Gardiner, on the evening of Wednes day, lUth inst., and it was undoubtedly the Masquerade Ball of the season. The cos tumes were furnished by Mr. Atwood, of'the well known firm of Curtis Woodbury, 31G Washington street, Boston, and were very rich and well selected, especially those fur nished by Curtis Woodbury. The music was furnished by the celebrated Chandler of Portland, whose choice selections, so well executed, were listened to with great pleasure by an appreciative audience. At an early hour the Masqueraders began to assemble and the anti-rooms and corridors were soon crowd ed by a brilliant assemblage impatiently await ing the signal to march into the hall, and then to ‘‘trip the light fantastic toe.” At length the wished for signal was given, ami the long column began to file into the hall, and there could be heard from the spec tators in the galleries expressions of surprise, delight and curiosity as each tried to discover their friends amongst the long column which was slowly passing around the hall. Peasants and Kings, Countesses, and Flower Girls, Generals and Negroes, joined in the dance, each endeavoring to discover by mo tion, tone of voice and form, the identity of their companions. The comical charac ters especially, were excellently represented, and sustained, as were the pother characters represented. Among those most worthy of notice in regard to richness of costumes and representation of characters personated, were the following •‘Shoo Fly,” (a comical costume,) repre sented by a Boston gentleman; ‘■Matudor.” Mr. Kichards of Gardiner; King of Denmark, W.

[By the Western Union Limp—Officer* Granite Bank Btiililin# ami the .State Howie.] FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. WasIiington, Jan. 20. Senate. Mr. Conking, from committee on rivision of the laws, reported the House census bill with an amendment in nature of a substitute as follows That the Secretary of the Interior be in structed to change the schedule and blanks to be used in enumerating the inhabitants of the United States in 1870, and make the same conform to the constitution of the United States. Mr. Hamsey introduced a hill to establish a postal telegraph, and to incorporate the United States Postal Telegraph Co. This is the scheme of Gardiner G. Hubbard, the de tails of which have heretofore been exten sively published and discussed. The Virginia hill was then taken up. Mr. Wilson moved to amend by inserting a proviso that tile constitution of the State shall never be amended to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote, or to hold office, who are now entitled to vote under the said constitution, except in punishment of crime, nor exclude from service as Juror, any person on ac count of race, color or previous conditions of servitude. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Drake reviewed the amendment pre viously offered by him. admitting Virginia to representation on the following fundamental conditions: That the State constitution shall never be changed, so as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the right to vote, who are now entitled to vote, except in punishment of such crime as now felonies at common law; whereof they shall have been duly convicted under law, equally applicable to all the in habitants of said state. The amendment was debated by Messrs. Drake, Harlan, Howard, Thurman, Morton and others at considerable length. Several motions to adjourn were made and voted down by from one to five majority. Mr. Drake protested against the attempt to take advantage of some of the Senators by forcing a vote at this time upon the proposi tion lie had. 11c had charged that the Sen ators having charge of this bill had gone around to the friends of the measure and induced them to remain while the opponents of the bill had left the Chamber in such a con dition of affairs. Several Senators remarked that the absen tees would return before the vote could be had upon the hill. Mr. Wilson moved to adjourn, and said if the motion was agreed to he would agree that a vote should be taken to-morrow (Friday) at 4 o'clock. After some further discussion Mr. Wilson’s motion was rejected by yeas 23 to nays 25. Finally it was informally agreed and the agreement stated fully and distinctly by the Chair that the subject could be finally dis posed of at 4 o’clock to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, when the Senate, at ti.25 P. M., adjourned. Hoi se. The League Island navy yard bill was taken up. The House has been for the last hour en tertained by a very spirited review of Mr. Dawes’ speech on extravagance by Mr. Scho field ol Penn., who intimated that Mr. Dawes' opposition to the League Island bill was prompted by resentment against the republi can members from Penn, because they did not prefer him for the Speakership. Mr. Dawes characterized sueli imputation as unworthy of any member. A petition of 22,000 citizens of Utah, pray ing tiiat Territory be admitted into the Union, was presented and referred. An animated discussion arose on the reso lution in which the question of the tariff and free trade were debated with considerable vehemence. The printing of the report be ing opposed by Messrs. Cook, Dickey, May nard, McCurty. and Arnell, and favored by Mr. Brooks of New York. Finally Mr. Arnell of Tennessee, moved to lay the resolution on the table and called for yeas and nays. The House refused to table the resolution yeas 51, nays 128. The House then asked the previous ques tion. and Mr. Laplan of New York having an hour to close the debate, yielded a portion of that time to the members on both sides of the question. The printing of the report was further ad vocated by Messrs. Munger, Randall, Cook, Hagar. Field. Marseall, Peters, Logan, Stinson. Styles, Moore of Illinois, and Twitchell, and opposed by Messrs. Kelly. Hailey, and Butler of Mass. The House at 4.30 adjourned. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington. .Jau. 20. On Monday, the Cherokee Delegation, heading by Col.

The "King of Italy lives worse than a denizen of a third-rate hoarding-house in New York. The fur niture of the Pitti Palace would be despised by a Canal street broker, and a dry goods clerk would despise the horrible Milanese eio-ars which his Majcstv is eternally smok ing. All of which is "generally known, and Ls very commendable, because it is done for economy, and to save the im poverished exchequer. Yet there is no ruMOn why the Pope should not live in style becoming a king, hut his own dislike of pomp and naturally simple tastes. Leaving the gilded saloons of the show part oF the palace, you pass through a door eareftillv guarded l>y two of the noble guard with drawn swords. A small passage conducts to the guards' waiting, room, where orderlies and officers in waiting at tend. Another room is alloted to the groom if the chambers, a prelate in his viole t robe. The next is the ante-chamber, where the Monsignori—private chamberlains of his Holiness—are in attendance. You tap at the next door, and it is opened by another Monsignori, who assured of your right of entree, lifts a silk curtain, and you are in the presence. The room strikes you as singularly bare. There is no car pet on the stone floor, the articles are lew and by no meaus costly. There is a large liookcase filled with works mostly bound in parchment. A prie-Dicu. with a velvet cushion and exquisite little Madonna, by Canova, in alabaster, on a bracket, stands over the prie-Dicu, and a well-worn, com monly-bound hook of hours lies on the edge of the prie-Dicu, together with a crucifix and a reliquary and a com mon rosary. There is a little china holy water stoop at the door: an exceedingly fine portrait of the Pope hangs over the mantle itself, on widen there is a time piece of the Louis Quinze period, in ormolu, aud two statuettes of St. Joseph and the Good Shepherd. There are no curtains to the windows which overlook the Vatican garden. In the center of the apartment is a large writing-desk, such as stands in the private cabinat of Louis XIV at Versailles. It has two largo com partments, filled with pigeon holes, in which are bundles of paper. A crucifix stands between these compartments, with the wounds and agony of the Redeemer finely painted and awfully real. The inkstand is a very common one of china, with a poneet box to match a bun dle oi quills fies near it, and a soiled nig on which the pens have been wiped this many a day. A few hooks of devotion are also there. They are the “Imitation,” Scnpoli’s “Spiritual Combat,” “Devotion of St. Francis de Sales,” a breviary, a Bible, Rodriguez's “Spiritual Perfection,” Signor's “Glories of Mary,” “Life of St. Theresa,” &c. There is a pile of French journals, the Revue des Ducx Monde*, the Civiia CaUwlico, and other Italian papers. His Holiness sits in an ami chair, not mer iting the title of easy, for it cruelly ter minates in the middle of his hack, and is rigidly constructed without regard to com fort. He is attired in a simple cassock of white flannel, with no insigna of rank about it save the Episcopal ring. His head is covered with a white skull cap. He has keen reading, and 1 e-side his open book is a common metal snuff box, and— let not my lady readers be hoi-rifled—a common red handkerchief. I laving made the usual reverences on my kuees ue mo tioned me to approach. As I recall now tlie effect produced on me by that interview I do not wonder that half lunatical young men, fresh from college, should yearn to die in his defence, as of old Christians panted for the crown of martyrdom.— January Oalaxy. m RENNES PAIN RILLING MAOXO OXXj. “It Work* like a charm.” Have you Headache Use Benue’s Magic Oif Have yon Toothache Use Renne’a Magic Oil.

Read tile violence. “Farts are stubborn things,1* and it is tosed to admit the strong logic of well estabttthed facts. We are told almost daily that Consumption, the scourge of the American people, is incurable that a man whose lungs are diseased must be given over to die that he must abandon hope and that the arrangement of his temporal as well as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten tion. If there were not facts as undeniable as that the suu will shine in a clear heaven at midday to controvert these random and not unlrequently harmful assertions, I should feel unwilling to bike up the gage of battle against them but, fortified with results- facte—which neither theory nor mere assertion can overturn, I propose to prove that C’UN 8UMPTIUN CAN BE CURED, and that the medicines I prepare—THE MANDRAKE BILLS, SEAWEED TONIC, and PULMONIC SYRUP—will, if used in strict accordance with the directions, in a majority of cases effect that which the faculty pronounces impossible—they will cure Con sumption. An ounce of solid fact is worth a pound of theory. Let me, therefore, inreseut the facts connected with my own individual experience. Many years ago, l was a confirmed consumptive, and like thousands of other untortunates, was given up to die. Eminent physicians pronounced my case a hopeless one, and told me that if 1 had any prrpam tious to make for the final solemn event, tliat 1 had better make them speedily. I believed this just as confidently as did the persons who thus affectionately informed me that my days were numbered, and that recovery was impossible. Still, the desire to live lingered in my bosom. I was young, and clung to life with the same tenacity that young men, and old men too, ordinarily do. I did not feel willing to abandon hope as long as a single vestige of it remained. I had full faith In the sad information conveyed to me by my physiciaus, but still there was a lingering belief that some thing could be done, though I knew not in what direction to seek for the much-desired relief. It was at this gloomy and eventful period of my history that I first learned of the roots and herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded disease are now prc|*ared. I procured and used them, and, to the utter amazement of all —physicians, friends and neighbor*—began to improve. My entire system commenced to undergo a complete renov ation. Exjiectoration, which formerly had been difficult and painful, now became comparatively easy. I threw off daily large ouuda; 1 am blest with an appetite vouchsafed to but few men, while my digestive organs are amply equal to all the requirements of a health fill condition of my sys tem. Now, be it remembered, all these wonderful changes were wrought by the use of the mediciues I prepare—MAN DRAKE PILLS, SEAWEED TONIC and PULMONIC SYRU P. A cure seemingly so miraculous naturally created astonishment in the minds of those who knew me. I was literally besieged on all sides. I had visitors daily who be sought me to give them the remedies which had wrought the wonderful restoration and had wrested me from the very jaws of death. Letters were received by scores impor tuning me to impart the secret and inform the writers where the specifics for consumption could be obtained. Others, who were too weak too travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and consulted me in regard to their cases. To all these applications I responded as 1 was able. I had fully regained my health, and gratitude for the happy result prompted me to turn my attention to the science of medicine, with the hope of thereby being able to he of service to my suffering fellow-creatures. I devoted myself closely to my studies, and more especially to that branch of them relating to the terrible disease from which I had suffered so long and so much. I investigated it in all its fearful phases, in order to assure myself tliat my case was not an exceptional one. The closer my Investigations die more satisfactory were my conclusions. I felt con vinced that tens of thousands of my fellow-creatures were lying annually from consumption whose cases were not as iesperate and apparently hopeless as mine had been, aud l argued from this that remedies which had proven so effective with me would prove equally so with others. I prepared my mediciues in a pleasant anti attractive form, End announced them to the world. The results are well known. Ttmusands of suffering men, women and children, who were on the way to the grave, have deen cured, and ire to-day living evidences of the fact that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED j and I tfoink I may say, without arro gating to myself any more than is justly my due, that I tiave had as much experience in the treatment of consump :ion as any other person in the country, ami that my suc :ess has been wonderfully great. Let the reader remember that these are not mere fancied statements. They are positive living facts, of which I am Lbe living evidence. There is an old adage which says. “What has been done may be done.” I have been completely cured of consump tion by the remedies I now offer to the public. Thousands if others have testified to simila i happy results from their tse, and thousands of others still mrght be benefited as I uave been could they but be prevailed ujr>« to try the vir ,ue of The Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic. Syrup. All that is necessary to convince the most skeptical jf their merits is a fair trial. Full directions accompany each of the medicines, so that it is not absolutely necessary that patients should see me Bersonally, unless they desire to have their lungs examined. or this purpose I am personally at my Principal Office, No. 15 North Sixth street, corner of Commerce, Evbrt Saturday.

All of these three medicines are often required in curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cuml many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills assist in regulating the Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the blood vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected.

Kven in cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this medicine has saved the fife of the patient, and restored him to per fect health. Dr. Schenck himself was cured in precisely such cir cumstances, and many others liave been equally fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr. Schenck’s remedies. Dr. Schenck does not say that all cases of Pulmonary Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often when patients have the i most alarming symptoms, such us a violent cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a degree that they are obliged to lie in bed, and when they J are given up by their physician, they may still be cured, j No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are very badly diseased, and to some extent de stroyed, a cure may be effected by Dr. Schenck’s rood Also, In Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally I efficient.
