Talli e l J mpeacliins Hie Secretary of tl Treasury, ana tbe Trea nrer, for 'iJon-enf or cement of othe law ---Other Pojnts and C- rectln. ' ' Crrespou'Mic3 0f .TBiOBWTB'i' Washington, D.'a, January 22. ?Th6 silver: men are - more confident 'than ever. A considerable number , of Republicans may be foundwtfo eppose tbp effort to demonitize silver Suite as hi rong as .the . Western and nmiitipnt Democrat-. One of these is the hte and sobeiminded , Mr. Paysoilvf Illinois This gentleman predict that when the issue is 4 ,inA it will be seen that silver has fully one hundred majority in the House. Some of the more active silverites say that impendi ment proceedings will be brought against the Secretary of the ,:Treas ry and perhaps the Treasurer. But this is merely the ebullition of , out raged justice. It is hardly probable that so a radical a step wm do usly considered. This morning the leading topic is the floor tuts vi viiroei viw, . j- r-Tj.T . . that the very moderate committee, of . 'which Gen. Coxis chairman, is; not at all representative of the feeling in the House, 1 1 have known alb along .that the opposition in the body was very strong and disposed to be ag gressive. The trouble is that , noth ing can be done to put this opposi tion into law, to make jt in other words wortfr " while to express it. Butmeinbera arejnot averse to pri vate declarationskhat the law ought never have been enacted, and should tnateriall v - modified. Henoo tho: number , of bills on the tsutgkjtj some of which-; were obtain ed in my last letter.'' The Seney bill repeal was squelched in .committee. If a vole could "have been had -tin' the Hon ?e, so a North Carolinian of prominence says, every member but 'i on Gen. Cox) would have voted in v the affiirmative. The strength of the mfnrm consists in the fact that the law cannot now be rescinded, and in tho further, fact that when it has uocl two or three years longer there will lie little disposition anywhere to have it repealed. The fight may, 1 owever, take place at any time. , : ' aorne of the members in favor of iuternal revenue I abolition or , mo iifications are not encouraged. A gentleman observed , to me venv -rday that hopes had been 'iiKi ued that Mr. Randall would co- opeiato and be able to accomplish something toward securing Mr. Hen deraon'd select committee for consid'. 'i erati. of internal revenue measures, s uuu lio.wua ui. uiuiuu vuau uui v " no prospects at present. The subs . committee of the Wavs and Means on this - subject, is composed of OMessrs- Harrisl of Georgia : Brecken . ridge, :;of Kentucky; and Browne, " Republican) of Indiana.' While I ' do nob knor what "the majority of this subcornnjittee-favor, I,r am in to modific iti m of internal revenue . legislation. If this bo true, there is 'the gauntlet of both the -main corns mittee arid t tie House to run". I make the above assumption because Mr. Harris is a -friend and the successor W.L 1111 JLflWUU W VA VUU V M Means committee and Gen. Browne is a Drotectiouist. Mr. Harris is said to favor the repeal of the tax on .brandy." Ssnator Vance will call up his -bill to repeal the civil service act and. make a sDeech in its favor. But his object is to make a thorough exami "nation of the subject, and to this end . he will defer his remarks for several weeks. . . . . - ; The Senator is opposed in toto to the law and does not -hesitate to so V express himself to his friends and in his place as Senator. " On being corns - plimented on his courage this morn- ing, he dryly; remarked: 'It may be the story of the bull and the engine, ' but I feel like persisting." . The Republican, filibuster, which is progressing as I write, is the only : thoroughly party ; division --certain ' ly the only party excitement of ithe v . nrpsfint session. Mr. Boutelle leads ' the Republicans. A very full House pJ-ODly 29 members absent wasde- -veloped by the roll call. v , -v.- -Leave was- granted indefinitely this morning to Mr. lienaerson on account of sickness in his family. - . i Col. Green, , who. has been indispos ed lot sDverul days,-is -confined to hi3 bed today. Leave: for one week v was xtendee by the. House. ' 'it is'stated" th'at'l'"il: R6"tHrock,- of Lexington, will be appointed to a place in tho cfii?3 of Gth Auditor of the Treasury. On enquiry I cannot verify the report Mr. Harry Skinner, of Greenville, i3 in the city. ' t , - f ; - - Maj. A. J. ; Galloway reports that the railroad between Wilson and Fayetteville J will: probably be com-, pleted by the 1st of August. . - Two gentlemen now - here, Messrs. Kehoe and Lane, . of New Berne, started for this city - under the im pression that the way was clear by. Norfolk 7 kndf Chesapeake :Bay. ?On arriving at Norfolk, they found the. the blockade still enforced, and went by sea to WiImington-.tDe.? 1 . , I fAmong .recent arrivals1 are ' Prof ; W. A. Blair, of High" Point, now at John's Hopkins ; University, and Messrs. , E. W. Lyon and W. A. Campbell. ' ;v &ii-J'c''fi Mr. Reid says he is kept very busy in the war claims and printing corns mittees. - . , Mr. Johnston's bill for the relief of Judson "Female "Colleger - provides only for an appropriation of $500 ? to pay for damages done the building by Federal .troops aty the close of the war. ;: He says it is a very moderate claim and f is ' amply - backed up ; by proofs. . This paragraph is to correct the misleading typographical error in the notice of Mr. Henderson's civilfser vice bills whereby! the word "pro tection" did duty for probation. Representative Bennett presented the papers in the claim of Armond D. Young, of Wilmington, and; they: were reieneu lo tuo uumuJiLito uu War Claims. Representative O'Hara offered v the resolution adopted I by sundry citizens of Edgecombe coun ty, asking the passage of an educa tionalbill. They were referred to the committee on education. HISTORICAL QUESTIONS Again Referred to, and the Other . Side .Heard From. To the Editor of the Obsertsb : Sir: I would gently remind your correspondent, $hat it was inconsist ent with journalistic chivalry to at tack meat his own home and through his home newspaper rathor than, to meet ix.e equally on. my own grounds, But believing that his Uncle Remus will! iift the veil of his ignorance" with a barrel stave, I am willing to pardon the indiscretion. Barring the side-splitting facetious riess of your correspondent's article, and the typographical error in nrmt- mg Ceorge for Colonel Washington. which had been corrected in the En- erprise before the light of B tf.'s dis covery had dawned, two issues seem whft nrAsant towit . - ' .

I proceed from the first, proposition as to which there i - - i .... . . . . nas never neen any 1 dispute, to the second, which has been to some ex tent a matter of controversy. The truth is that Jackson -was born in North Carolina1 When our voune menu gets away rrom juvenile his tories, primers. &c, I he will 'V find abundant authority to sustain this po sition, and will find them so over wheliniDg that his glittering ' shafts of wit and irony will fall harmless to the ground, if tne tact of his i at tempting to hurl them does not cause a slight tinge and glow to steal upon his manly cheeks. Mark how "the gropers in the dark"; have perpetrat ed fraud upon the public.

Worthy Carolina to the birth place of Jackson is not to be leered at or whistled down the winds. I8 it not amusing to stand off and see this'tyro box the ears of Charles A- Dana, francis Hawks, and jother t'chroniclers'' : ( 'during . which time tneir mournful cries can be distinctly heard")? r -- Our young if lend says that Jacks son was born in what has long ceased eai tsut ne aiso 'savs that jacKson "When I see the farce Of his logic I amiBaralvzea with-hrror." in his .

Explosion after explosion occurred and everybody was warned to keep a sate distance olf.r The structure was completely saturated with ' oil and burned so rapidly that in twenty minutes after the fire broke) out the entire building was destroyed.

OF PARIS.; "Bg9r tot. a, Bargate On tlioMKOKOTii , for Policeman Bargains. ? ; Many sellers keep their table carefully covered so that nothing is visible, ana.. uhen begin to talk-about the discovery cf America, of Napoleon the Great and; the politics of the day. ' Of .course, you haye not the remotest conception what; he means by all this or what he has for sale"; at last heraises the cover and pro-f duces either a new blacking paste : or a small instrument to be used at once' as ' toothpick, periholderi inkstand a and - eraser, and only costing 5 cents, or so on. Still none of the crowd -'are ' ready are ready to buy the thing; but tMs does not confuse our hero; he distributes on all sides the fiacon, or whatever it may be, and says, "You can pay me to-, morrow or when you are passing," 4 At length there is a purchaser, ana di rectly after ten, as no one;, wished to be first. At times it happens that the im provised dealer suddenly breaks off in his speech, seizes his table and bolts with it, to the great '; surprise ot ms hearers, who look after, him,, and of whom only the initiated are ; aware of the. true reason of his hasty, flight. A sergeant de ville has' shown himself at the next corner for .whom all the street sellers; who have no l cards ; of .-license, entertain great respect, as -'he simply takes them by the collar and leads them to the prefecture; t a proceeding whicn always ends badly. ' We see that ' the daily bread of the poor fellows : is not lightly gained in Paris. - i ' - .Further on stands ' another man, also at a small table, but he has no cause to fear the police.: He is ,an artist, as he says, recognized by the government, and stands under the special protection of the minister. His excellency, he ln- forms us, has repeatedly offered him a situation in the writing and reckoning schools, but he declined it in order to serve the pubhc At the same time , he is a perfect artist with the pen; with rapid, sure and graceful lines he draws in a few ; instants an eagle , with Out stretched wings or well executed like ness of some well known public charac ter. He then offers them to the spec tators gratis and merely for the honor of having his talent recognized by an amateur. At the same time he sells steel pens, which are good and cheap, and honestly declares that his art is based on the pens, which . persons need only buy in order to draw and write like him.; "It only requires a little practice," he adds, with a knowing smile. ; ' A colleague on the others side of jthev boulevard loudly ; offers $20 to the man who can mend broken china better than he. Twenty dollars heaven knows where he got them from or if they are real lie on his table' before him and at tract not a few gamins. "I could," he relates, have long ago have been a rich man if I would have sold the secret of my composition to the -'government.' The director of the great porcelain fac tory: at Sevres would give : half his. fortune for it; but then my , discovery would only benefit the few, while now it is common property," and so on. The bottle costs only 10 cents. He then feels in aheap of gay pieces of china, and very cleverly composes of the pieces of china a plate or a cup, which he strikes in order to prove the solidity of his composition, and finally assures us that he once mended a broken gun barrel, with which its owner still goes out shooting. Beally, more can not be expected. - , ' ' Wherever there is a free spot on the boulevards, formed by retreating houses and broader trottoirs, it is at once occu pied by a singer, - an acrobat or ar jug gler; 'a large circle is formed round the artiste, who first harangues 1 the specta tors in the usual way, and then displays his skill. ; Such is Paris every day, and Iwhile we are smimming with the uni versal' stream we will loiter on, no mat ter where, for we are sure to see some thing amusing.

' There is almost no 'limit, to the physi cal development and health that may be gained and maintained by walking, which is done for the purpose of exer cise. Any one can find time and space in which to walk, and one can find con genial company, for sueh trips. A pros pective husband is not the best company at such times, for. with him ;. the walk will almost inevitably degenerate into a saunter; further, no woman can walk freely when custom or affection com pels her to lean upon a muscular arm. - To be beneficial, walking must be done in shoes broad enough to let the feet be placed firmly upon the ground at" every step, and in . clothing which will allow free play to lungs and arms. The " step should be as quick as can be mamtained . without causing uncomfortable, increase in the action of the heart. .
