Mr. Eaton in troduced, by requcst.a bill relating to tele-; graph between he United.StajLe8;and Jor-, feign countries, deferred to'thd C'bmmittoe on Foreign relatjoils. . The Senate then proceeded to consider 'ation of the Legislative,. Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill Mr. Beck of the Committee on Appro priations said the bill substantially the same as that agreed to by the Com- mittee on Conference at its former session, with a few exceptions. ' Mr. Edmunds enquired whether what is ca!led political legislation is the same as that proposed last year, or did it differ by enlargement or diminution. -V Mr. Ieck replied that he was not pre pared to answer, as be had: not compaerd the two propositions. A message was received from tire House announcing that the Speaker had signed enrolled bill to prohibit military interfer ence at elections, and. returning the bill for the signature of the President pro tern. He having signed the same it will now be taken to the President. t'V The Senate then proceeded to action on amendments to - the pending bill, and agreed to those restoring compensation of Senate officers, clerk and other employes which the House, has reduced. Mr. Beck nioyed the reading of the bill 1 be dispensed with, in order to afford Mr. Hill, of iJforgia, opportunity to address the Senate, as he intends to, leave the city and may not return before the end of. the present session: Mr. Hill proceeded, to speak with reference to that part of the bill proposing new legislation, with regard to impressions of elections, etc. . The leg islation proposed being very simple. Noth ing but repeal ot the same laws enacted during and - since the late war. He had watched the discussion in order to arrive, at the motive which promted it, and was now satisfied that a party in this country had entered upon a well, or rather ill consider ed, but determined purpose of reopening sectional agitational which so long disturbed the people aud to consolidate one section of the country against the other for the benefit of a party without refereuce to the public good. He then re ferred to: the recent speech of Mr. Conk t ling as being . in that direction, and alluded ! to Mr. Edmunds in his speech of yesterday as taking the position that the little bill prohibiting military influence at elections would have the effect to change and modi fy all laws, to which the Senator from Ver mont alluded. The Senator must have known that the bill would not affect, in any degree, the legislation previous to 18G5. If the majority in Congress declare from this. time forward, that the army and navy shall not interfere with elections, they but re-enact what was the custom, prac tice and law before 1865. The- speech of the Senator from '.Vc.-mont ought to be studied by all, as it showed the great ques tion of difference between two great par ties, now struggling for mastery, and the assumption that there could be no protec tion to the country save by the military, and if this should unfortunately ever be believed by the country the republic would be at an end. Mr. Hill then alluded to persons who had sojourned in the South and gone North to deliver lectures on the subject. of - Southern wrongs and outrages) their state ments being grossly exaggerated and re ferred to 1 those who instigated the move ment of the negroes to Kansas, and said the South had been maligned in a hundred different shapes and norms for the purpose of antagonizing the North and secure the Republicans in possession of power. He spoke of the persistent attempts to induce the President to veto the bill prohibiting military interference at the polls. Be never believed the President would veto the bill. He did not believe the President, would lend himself: to any ; such scheme. The President signalized his administra tion by removing troops from the South, and therefore he did not believe that the President would be guilty Of vetoing this bill. , lie believed he would rise above the clamor of those who were seeking sectional agitation. TJie Republicans resort to the veto because they want military force to control elections , in order to keep them . selves in power. Mr. Hill claimed that the tremendous contest now before the country had its origiu and meaning in the purpose ol the Republicans to obtain absolute coivtroWof States by force in order to perpetuate their power, whether the people are willing or not, and in furtherance of their purpose almost every Republican speaker. ha3 been seeking to impress the country' with the idea great danger -is to canie from what they call Confederates in Congress. Mr. Hill continued at some, length in defence of the South and her .representa tives, aud referred to his own actions dur . ing events connected with the first move ment toward secession. He spoke of Vir ginia's proclamation for a peace confer, ence, and bow he hoped for its success Some States had then gone out and there fore could not participate in sjich a con tention, but they? watched every move ment with interest. Those very men who made charges of infidelity against South ern people went to1 Washington to defeat the purposes of Ya, In proof of this he read the toijowm letter: Washington. February 11th, 1861. Mu Dear Gov. Gov. Binghum and my pef telegraphed to you on Saturday at the request of Mass. and New York to send delegate's to the peace or compromise Con gress. They admit that we were right and they were wrong; that no Republican State should have sent delegates but they are here aud cannot get away. Ohio, I no., and Rhode Island are coming in and there is danger of III., and Nev. i They beg us for God's sake, to come to their res cue and save tke Republican porty from rupture. I hope they will send stiff-back ed men or hone. The whole thing -was got up against my judgment and "will end H thia srnolj'e. ' 1 hope, as a matter of uJJ tQ SQtne of our erring brethren. 5la will send the delegates. t m n I'ruly your menu, To ItVv') Z. Chandler. . . xttaiM;y Austin Blaine." , To this letter a P. S. was added saying the Northern oeople think that a fight : would be awful, but "withoujt a little blood letting, the-Union will not, jh my estima tion, Le worth a rush." Southern represen tatives must be tried. The : South sought to avert the war while the North tried to bring it on. He (Hill) knew the Republi cans claimed to have saved the Union but. if there had been no Republican party the union would not have been in peril, lliere ; could have been no secession,, no returning boards and electoral commission. ? At the conclusion of Mr) Hill's speech, Chandler explained circuriitances under which the letter was written, and spoke of scenes and incidents which took place previous to re bellion, and concluded by saying: "You are to-day, as you were then, determined to either, rule or run this government, and you can't do it." '.-', HOUSE. The House bill was repealed in relation to the widows of pensioners of he war of 1812 (so' as to give pensions to women who are a second, time widows). Opposition was made to.-the bill as an entire change of the pensioVlaws, and oh motion of Mr. Oarfield it was referred to the Pension Committee. A bill prohibiting the presence of mili tary at places of election was presented as enrolled and was signed by the Speaker and sent to the Senate for the signature of the President pro tern. .,- The House committee on Public Lands to-day heard representative Herbert of Al abama in advocacy of the bill - introduced by him on the 5th, providing that all pub Jic lands of the United States in the tim ber regions of. the States, of Alabama, Louisiana and Minnessota which have been subject to entry for as much a. 20 years prior to the passage of this act, except such as may have been heretofore recorded for Government purposes, shall be here after subject to entry in any quantity de sired by purchasers upon the payment of the price required. The measure was re ferred to a sub-committee committee con sisting of Messrs, Stee'e of North Carolina, Washburn of Minnessota and Williams of Alabama for consideration and report. The House resumed the consideration of the Warner Silver Bill. Several bills were introduced and referred, including one for the appointment of a Mississippi river commissioner, and one for the reduc tion arid reorganization of the army and navy. The House 'at 4:25 adjourned ' r Miscellaneous. Bill to prohibit military interference at elections was sent to the Executive Man sion thi3 afternoon for the approval or disapproval of the President. The House Committee on Levees and Improvement of Mississippi river held a meeting to-day. The measure under con sideration was that introduced on the 5th, by Gibson, of Louisiana, creating a com mission to consist of five members, to be known as "The Mississippi River Im provement Commission." The third sec tion of the bill ""requires the commission to report in full to Congress the amount of laud that could . be reclaimed by the con struction -of works they may'deem neces sary that would permanently prevent the Overflow of such land as is now subject thereto along the route cf said river, cause ..objection, and the question arose as to the objects of this and all other meas ures before the commission, wich propose the improvement of river and reclamation of alluvial lands as co-equal objects to'be attained. The Republican members of the commission asserted their opposition to the consideration of any provision except ing that which: may refer directly to te subject' of improving navigation of the river. They contended that the reclama tion of alluvial lands was a matter not only impolitic, but-improper to be. considered by Congress. In view of this diversity of opinion the leading Democratic members of the commission will endeavor to prove the bill, which will tend to harmonize and meet the approval of the entire commission. Gibson introduced in the House pre vious to v adjournment to-djy, a very materially modified proposition, which will be printed and referred to the commission for action. ; r .There are good reasons for stating that the1 President has changed his views re garding the bill relating to the use of the military at the polls, and the probabilities are now strong that lie will return it with another veto message. Representative White, of North" Caro lina.)?) to-day reintroduced for reference to the Committee on Military Affairs the Buruside bill of last session pending for reduction and reorganization of the United States Army, and making rules for its government and regulation.

Yesterday's Record in the Old U orId--A Chinese Legation at Madrid, dc. LoxDONj $aj lO.Thewel financial article this morning says:" ''Value of money remains, at about 1 per cent. At tention is being drawn to the probable effects of the continuance of cold northerly winds upon : agricultural prospects, which are already sufficiently unfavorable. Unless a change occurs soon in the temperature there cart be little or no fruit, and there may probably be a serious deficiency in cereal crops,; which means larger payments than usual tb foreign growers, and eventu ally dearer money. Prominent among other prospective deficient yields on the continent is that of silk, cold winds keep ing back mulberry leaves, upon which, silk worms feed."

Havana, May 10.- The Archbishop ot Santeago, deCuba, has been elected Sena tor from that province. Speech or en. Vance. That was an excellent speech made by Gen. Bob Yance let us "call him Bob, we like it, and he likes it in the House last Wednesday. He talked on Silver, but he drifted into patriotism and fraternal love before he got through. His financial views are sufficiently indicated by the fol lowing short passage: "What was the effect of the demonet ization of silver? It was , to establish a single standard of value and that standard gold. I do not hesitate to say that gold is not the money of the people, and never can be. Gold is royal money'; gold is not a money that can be obtained by the laboring masses of this country. Silver is the money of the people; silver is the mon ey they have been accustomed to from time immemorial. The single standard of gold was therefore a contraction measure, fraught with disaster to this great country of ours. Gentlemen ned not be scared at the idea of having too much money. Therefore we say let the coinage of the standard silver dollar of 412 grains be unrestricted. Let the people of the coun try come in with their silver and have in coined. We ought, as speedily as pos sible, to provide for recoining such coins as have been discredited by the action of the Secretary or the Treasury. Towards the close of his speech, Gen Yance warmed up and said: The gentleman from Ohio Mr. Gar-; field the other day said in his speech on the Army billj making, as I think, a some what unkind allusion I do not see him in his seat, but I have nothing personal to say; I never do anything of that kind that the South had first attempted to shoot the Government to death, and that now the proposition was to starve the Government to death. Mr. Speaker, there is much more danger, in my opinion, of destroying this Government by injustice and by class legislation than there is to apprehend from the men of the South starving the Goverment to death. A friend beside me remarks that there is much more danger of the Government starving the people to death. That puts it just the other way Bi t it is uot the Government that is starving tjie people to ! death. It is not .. the Government; . it is those who have the control of the legisla tion. The Government is good. The Constitution is good. The spirit of liberty that lives in people, that animates their hearts, the love of cT country that is developed by the fife side as the mothers of the land take their little ones upon their knees and teach theni the great lessons of human liberty all these are good. The Government is good ; thank God for the Goveriment the Gov-, ernmeut established by our fathers ! It is not the Government that is doing the mis- Y chief ; it is the laws that have been passed by those in authority that are ciushingthe life?" out of the people. The gentleman talks of starving the Government to death Why, sir, if he would come down to my country and go into my Sunday school the children there would teach him a better philosophy than that. They would teach him that nothing can die. They would teach him what Bulwer has so sweetly ex pressed : ..There is no death I The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heaven's jewelled crown They shine forever more. , There is no death ? The dust we tread Shall thauge beneath the summer showers iooiaen grain or menow iruit, Or raiubow-tiutd flowers- . -; There s no death f The leaves may fall, The flowers majf fade and pass away; They ofalr wait through wintry hours The eomiupr of the May.
