Pax t age ofa bill to tfulUfy itheTtpt Oqlh LJJccttion-Tkc 2ovte of KepYtek(atlvcz4n Hettion all NtghExtraardinaTy lProceed' Da i Tuesday, in the Unitel Stftea 00usc" of Representatives, Mr. 'Boutwell, from ''the' Judi ciary Committee, reported a substitute for the House bill to prescriDc an oain 10 tne puDiic officers, members of the bar, &cr The substitute provides that no person shall be permitted to apt scan. attorney or counsellor in any court cf the United States wWh'as been guilty of treasoo, bribery, murder, or. other fe lony, or who lias been engaged in any rebellion against the Oovernmeat olthe JJuited States, or who" Iras given aid, comfort or enoouragement to the enemies of the United States, in armed hostiKrj-thereto. 'Tbe twnd-SectioTr declire the first section to be th rule of every court of the United States. : .The: tblfd rjeetioa makes it 4be duty of the Judges, when the suggestion is made' in open jcouxt that "any. person, acting as an attorney -or, -counsellor o be court, or pro posing so to acJI barred by the., provisions of this act, or; when tHe j udge ( hall bclieve.such person to be so barred, to .inquire and asoortaip whether $uc)i person has been guilty pf treasoo, bribery: mqrdef ' or other ,lelonyr or, has been engaged, in any rebcllioa against, the Govern meat of toe United States, or . who has given aid, coa)fart and encouragement to the enemies of the United States in armed hostility thereto; and t 'tlie court be of opinion that such person has fceeo gilty of treason, bribery, murder or other felony, or has been engaged in any rebel lion against the Government , of tb,e United States, or given aid, comfort nod encourage ment to the enemies of the United States, to . , , i , i t . v. Art 4 exciuac ana aeDar suca persuu uuw tuc umvc v. attorney or counsellor. . Mr. Boutwell, in briefly explaining and advo cating the bill.said that if there were five judge in the highest judicial tribunal of the land who had not sufficient self respect to enact rules and enforce regulations that would . protect them--selves from the foul contamination of conspira-. tors and traitors against the government of the country, then the time had arrived wbeo the legislative department of the government should exercise its power to declare who shall be officers of the government in the administration of .the law in the courts of law.. This bill was for that purpose, and he hoped the House would pass it lie moved the previous question,:, Mr. Chaoler hoped the gentleman from Mas sacbusetts would not rush this bill through the House without allowing some opportunity on his (Mr. ChanlerV) side of the House to speak, not iu favor of rebellion, but of the Supreme Court. Laughter Mr. Boutwell. said he would allow Mr. Chan ter five minutes. Mr. Chanler thanked the gentleman from Massachusetts for his extensive courtesy. Laughter By this bill the whole issue was changed. It was not now a question of rebel lion, but tho members on his (Mr Chanler's) side were now called upon to sustain the char acter of the Supreme Court of the United States against the assaults of the zealous advocate from Massachusetts. When a Cardinal has to be ad mitted into the College of Cardinals at Rome that body sat in judgment upon the candidate, and one of them, arrayed in all the panoply of his office, assumed tbe position of "Devil's Ad vocate," accusing the candidate of all imaginable iniquities. Mr. Spalding called Mr. Chanler to order for the words which he had applied to dir. liout well, in designating him as "the devil's adto cate." Tbe reporters were directed to write out the sentence, and. while thev were engaged in do- ing so, Mr. Stephens hoped Mr. Spalding would withdraw the question of order, as Mr. Chanler had not said a word. Laughter J " - Mr, Spalding withdrew the poiot of order .Mr. Chanler appealed to Mr. Boutwell to ex tend his time a little longer, laughter, as he did net mean anything personal to him m tne historical allusion he had made : out simply meant that, historically speaking, he Mr. Bout well occupied on the floor the same ' character as "the devil's advocate" did iu the College of Cardinals. . Mr. Rogers, havms obtained five rninutes to state his views, made use of the tinie in art ing against tne Din, as well because it was ex posl facto in its character, and therefore uncon stitutional, as because it was injudicious in point of policy. The previous question was seconded 76 to 38. : - :: - Mr Hale, having been allowed five minutes by Mr Boutwell, made a 'speech in opposition, lie asked, at the opening of . his 4 remarks, whether-the bill applied to State courts' as well as to Federal courts ? Mr Boutwell replied in tho negative. It did not interfere with State courts at all. Mr Hale said that while he had no sympathy with those who attacted the Supreme Court, neither had he any disposition to take any ac tion that would do away with the : test oath, so far as it could be Constitutionally upheld, and so far as applicable to public offices.- But while the office of attorney or counsellor was nomi nally an office, it was really . only a profession, and he did not think it the part : of wisdom to apply the test oath to lawyers, even if Congress had the Constitutional power to do so. v Mr Boutwell closed the debate, arguing in support of the bill. , .i ' Mr Maynard interrupted Mr Boutwell to in quire whether this bill did mure than embody, in the form of a statute, what was now tbe com mon law of couits. i. Mr Boutwell. There can be no doubt on lhat point. And 1 say here, oo my responsibility, with reference to the recent decision of the Su preme Court of the nation, by the general aa thority vested in it under the Constitution and laws, does not protect itself from the contami nation of rebels and traitors, until the rebellion itself shall be suppressed, and until those men shall be restored to their right as citizens of the country. Bat the SapTeme Court failing in tbe performance of that high duty, the time has arrived when the Congress of tho United States, by whose breath alone the Supreme Court exists should assume an exact and specific authority, and should declare by solemn law that men who have been guilty of murder, or treason or brib ery, or who have raised their arms to strike down the Government of the country, should not participate in the administration of the laws of the Und until they are absolved from their crimes. And it is not enough that the Supreme Court tell na that the President's pardon absol ves tbcee men from their iniquities. The Pres ident'! pardon may open the doors of jails pen itentiaries.; It may release criminals who ere guilty of murder and other felonies. 1 Bat while 1 occspy a place on this floor, never, with my eonseot, shall the pardon of the President be a certificate on which a felon eater .into the sa W-E-S-T E H"N " D E M O R cred tribunal of the land, and assists in the ad ministration jot the laws. $?;K ? As Mr Boutwell resumed his seat; there waa an outburst of applaiue on the floor sod to the galleries. ' : r" ' - The minorirjrthen commenced a series ofdila-v torv 'motion to etave off the final vite on the i passage of the bill. Tbe rules permit dilatory motions toemade ana to succeea eacn other without end such as -motions that1 the llouje do now adjourn ; that when it do adjourn, it be for two days or three days ; that the House take a reeess ; that something or other be recon sidered; and that somebody be excused frjm voting The rules do not give the Speaker the right to refuse entertaining motions of this kind: and asoncnjto oMneTJaeniDers voting can order the yeas and nays to be taken, and as a vote by yeas d ay-ewpre nearly half an hour, a ! minority of onififth'tay if eo' disposed, block up the wherfe business-ot tbe Uouse. x One of the votes showed that there was less than a qooram' present, when a call of the Hou-e was ordered, and the' pages were sent' to the restaurant and committee rooms to notify absent members- -Thhuwhipping in. process resulted in gettieg' 112 members to answer -to' their names.

Mr Rogers moved that an appropriation be made for the purchase, of a' ham sandwich for each of the members. fLaoghter 1 , (The Speaker said all appropriations , had to be maae . in committee oi . toe wnoie. - I xvenewea laughter. " . ' '.'- s : , '.The sergeant-at-arms. contioued to slowly bring Jo meuibers,. and when,Mr Hise, of Ken tucky, was brought in and was asked for an ex cuse for his' absence, he proceeded to givo his reasons oy stating tnat ne aw no opportunity of obtaining Justice from the majority on this bill, and for that reason be bad lelt the nail. He saw that the majority were determined to override all. the provisions of the Constitution. In the course of his remarks Mr Hise character ized the language of Mr Boutwell, which had been used to-day, as the mostmoastroas.ho had, everlieard. ' ' . , . Mr flis was frequently called to order, on the ground that he was debating the question. Mr Price said it was such sentiments ae these that secessionists had expressed when they left these halls. A motion was then made and carried to ex cuse Mr nise upon toe payment oi the usual fee. " ' ..i-. A motion was subsequently made to recon sider this action, and Mr Schenck said he pro posed to make, a motion imposing a fine upon the gentleman for abusive languago toward the gentleman who introduced tho bill, Mr Bout well. Mr Hise made an explanation and said he in tended nothing personal to Mr Boutwell. He bad given his excuse as to him seemed best, and said he did not suppose it was unparliamen tary to characterize language as monstrous. He bad frequently beard members on the other side of the House characterize those on his TMr Hise's side as traitors and copperheads, and rebels, and no one called them to order. Mr Boutwell suggested that tbe subject be dropped, as it did not affect him in the least. Mr Hise, in a farther explanation, said it did seem arbitrary to him and tyrannical to get up such important measures and force them through the House. The House remained in session till 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, when the majority gave wav and the House adjourned till noon. During the evening session the bill was passed. )Teas 109; Nays 42 , . . ' 1 . PRETTY SHARP AND DECIDED We copy the following paragraphs from the Daily Constitutional Union, printed at Wash ington City. TLe Union is a strong supporter of the President, and is presumed to speak 'from the book": The Bloody Treason of the New York Her ald. The Mew York Herald of the 17ih in stant, has two articles on the subject of the im peachment of the President, which for ml.ignity and falsification of history have no parallel in journalism. While red-handed treason held the pen, bitter and unrelenting enmity to the Constitution and our form of Government fired the brain which was bold and wicked enough to say to the , world that what it calls the "mis demeanors" of the President "reoder him liable to impeachment.".. . " . The transparent design of these articles is to move the minds of .weak-kneed Jacobin-Republicans up to their work. Let them take this advice, proceed -to their wicked- designs, and some morniag in other places and in a new con dition they will realize the bitter consequences. Indeed, as the Herald says, the! atroggle is still going on." "The great Union movement of the war will run its course," but not as the Herald applies it, to utterly destroy the Gov ernment, but to save it, and if necessary its strong and iron hand will be iuvoked to stay the course nd prevent the consummation of Radical Treason. The Great Oath of the Presi dent to protect and defend the Constitution will not be forgotten, and the People wbo sustain him, with their five hundred, thousand majority of the voting population, North and South, will not forge him. , , The Herald cares not for eoiv sequences,.- Nothing .would please it so much as to see ruin and anarchy rampant. Let those who would take its advice beware. - . . . Events fcave already brought the govern ment to, the very verge of another revolution. If the Radical majority in Congress pursues its treasonable- course much longer, the Govern ment, in order to sustain itself will have to arm its supporters.. At the call of.the President, all hi? friends North and South, and the Army and the Navy will respond. In such a contest the r issue . cannot le doubtful. Congressmen may be valiant fighters on the floor of. Congress, bnt when they come to lead their cohorts into the field .it will, be another thing. . The re 1 armies and -great soldiers of the Republic will be found .fighting under the Flag I We advise that opposition cfthe determined and fixed fact the Andrew Johnson tc ill. serve out hit Consti tutional term pjfj'jfice. A prominent- Republican, member of the House; in a .recent letter4to a friend, sajs,' touch ing the impeachment . business, "my own opin ion is and has been', it will amount to nothing. All reports that the Judiciary Committee have taken evidence bearing tard oir the President are false. Not a single witness has been exam- Wed, and the committee 'are prod very ' cautiously." "" ' " A T p-' C flXRlTT E," SHORT SERMON BY A LAYMAN. . a ,. . , ... - -;, How many able-bodied men da you suppose there are just at this moment sitting down in the cities, villages and country ustores," 'whittling and speculating about what tbe Yankees are going to do next, and telling each other what Sherman stole from them ? And what amount of time on a moderate calculation is thus consumed every montbt and how much whiskey 1 It is absolute- lv fearful to contemplate. ! Did the discussion of politics ever do us any particular good that you are aware of? Can poor folks make any uicney by it, or relijious people improve their piety by it When a spunky little fellow has fought himself fiat on his back with, a 1 uij iciiuw Miung uu.iiis auuomen, arm iuiu rius . pinnea 10 me grounu, is it gooa ror nis ueaiui 10 spit at the big fellow and tell him about the sheep bis father atole ? That's our political- fix exactly. Ilad'nt we better lie still awhile! . Materially speaking, the big fellow has knocked the ' little fellow down and injured him severely, but does not sit on him. .Hiid'nt he better get up and go to tbe Doctor ? t ... . . How many of your acquaintances who were farmers before and during the war, aro driving their business with their own brains and. hands now?. What proportion of them are seeking other business, renting out their farms, putting up little "stores," and trying to do an-thing else except that for which they are best fitted , and most needed ? The answer which you are bouud to make is food for serious thought to us all. The productive resources of our, country, consti tute our only hope of recuperation.- The only chance left to us is to dig independence .out of the ground j and those who own the land have the largest share of the responsibility. , It is true that all are cramped for 'money, aud cannot con duct matters on the former large scale; but are not our ideas on the subject too grand, . and are they not leading our farmers and planters into the error of declining to undertake the : business, en tirely because they cannot conduct it just as. they would wish f We cannot all be mere consumers. As to labor, bad as that is, money will control it, but'proiniscs will not. Therefore it is idle, where the purse' is fchort, to expect to employ many hands. If you can only pay five hands or only two, go to work with them and don't . sit dowu because you can't employ twenty. The prospect is, certainly, not very brilliant now; but every man who owns a few acres of. land can niake'enougb bread and; meat on . them, to support his family, if he will work, and that is as much if not more than he can do in any other way.1 - As to overseers, agents and other incidents to the former life of the land-owner, they are gone for many years to come. Ho must bid a temporary farewell at least, to all his greatness, and be satisfied with the humbler position to which God has reduced him, although , that is much more comfortable than the situation of most of his neighbors. Now what; will many farmers say to all this ! They will say. it is very easy to write such things for the newspapers, but the writer does'nt understand the subject, and does'nt know the trials and difficulties in the wav, &c , kc. ' Good friends, is anything stated here but the truth ? You deceive yourselves. The simple story is this ; you lived in ease and com fort before the war with slaves to do your bidding you contracted the habits which naturally sprung out of your circumstances and, the cir cumstances being entirely changed, the habits re main as they were, and you find it almost im possible to change and adapt them !to the chan ged circumstances. That's all. But the change has to be made, and the sooner the better. Some have realized it and are, (all honor to tbem) hard at work in a small way. Go and do likewise. Wilmington Journal. AN OMINOUS SIGN. That political and social demoralization go hand-in-hand we have a painful illustration at present in many of the large Northern cities. The decent, Conservative press teems with stric tures upon the once extraordinary, but now common spectacle of drunkenness among the fashionable women of the people of "grand moral ideas." J hat such sights were common in Sodom and Gomorrah before a fate of brimestone and fire fell upon those placed, we . have every reason to bolieve. Wt know from the reiterated assertions of history that .nil the corrupt and wicked nations of antiquity commenced rotting and going to pieces in this way. When woman takes to liquor . L l . i l r ' me no use or community in wnicn sucu practices prevail, may be safely considered to be in a very desperate way. There is no siojn of the deca dence of pomilar virtue and morality, so alarming as this. The mission of woman in America has heretofore been a high and lofty one. Sho has been the custodian of those virtues and proprie ties which have not been safe in the keeping of tue sterner sex. It is a most gloomy and omin ous symptom of social and moral disintegration, when we see females, moving in circles deemed respectable, fall victims to vices and debaucheries which have hitherto been assigned almost exclu sivcly to the male sex. All moral and religious barriers must be broken down in a . community where women, with features of loveliness, and draped with all the - adornments of the latest fashions, stagger from' their carriages aud .reel through the throngs of Broadway, , in the blaze of midday and the glare of gaslight. Rome saw such appalling sights when plunging to her doom all reeking with corruption and wickedness. But has the North, in the pride and zenith of its boasted power and virtue, come to this? , If so let her mourn in all her borders. Richmond Times. The Benefits op Protection. A com plete-outfit of clothing may be had in England for $110; while in this country the same would cost $324. This will serve to show more clearly than any amount of argument the difference be tween taxation for revenue, purposes , merely, as in England, and a tariff that is designed to pro tect the manufacturing interests at tbe expense of the mass of the people, sa io this country. The Methodist Centenarv collection now foots up over 53,800,000, and is' not all in yet. It will probably reach over $4,000,000. Of this sum, Daniel Drew, of New York, gave S500. 000 ; Mr Baldwin, of Ohio, $300,000 ; Mr Rich of Baltimore, $74,000, and many others from $20,000 to $50,000 each. The Goldsboro' News cannot see any thing good in Base Ball, and he thinkb "that tournaments have, also, just about played oat," and that the boys had better hitch their horses to the plow, and begin preparations. for another crop. And, we must confess, we agree with him. Too much time haa been spent, and too much mooey wasted, on these. Jrjvalaus vports. Now, when we are all so poor' and depressed, bow much better it would be. to applyopr. en ergies in the direction, of the resusitatioa of pur fortuoea. .' While '.

':.' : Arrangements were - made for a wedding in New Yoik, a few days since, when it proved that the bride had eloped the night previous with another party, leaving the bridegroom, the parents and a florist disconsolate. A rich old man of seventy-five, near Springfield, Illinois, determined, not long ago, to marry , a trim young farmer's daughter. His son Frank opposed the idea, and went to . work to prevent the match. - With great ostentation he purchased a coffin and a horrid-looking meat-axe, and bad them arranged in state at his father s house. Reversing the order of things he declared the wedding baked meats should coldly furnish forth a funeral;.that Fanny, inuead of a bride should be a corpse; that his father might have a funeral, but no wedding; - that, standing" there, at the threshold of his paternal mansion, lie would. with' that same sharpen meat-axe, cleave her from crown to sole; that. the coffin prepared was for her decent burial; and finally, that he was ready him self for the murderer's gibbet. The old man was finally sent to bed drunk, the young lady went home in tears, and the, marriage was in definitely postponed. . . i ; . i Several of the large dry goods establishments in New York, have established a detective force, which is employed to look after the clerks. The detectives visit all sorts of places, and if a clerk is seen where he should not be, a ouiet dismissal and uno reason given" follows at once. , Commercial Failures. In the New York Times we find some interesting and significant statistics with reference to the commercial failures at the North for the past year, as well as for the preccedmg years. s In 18C2 the aggregate liabilities of those who failed was, in round uumbers,: $23,000,000; in 18G3 the aggregate was $8,000,000; in 1864 it was $8,500,000; in 1865 it was $17,500,000. while in '1866 the aggregate was $47,000,000.
