SasATr. PAssss Tall Sim-sit BILL.
After an all night session, at a little after
five this morning, the Senate got to avote and
passed the Silver Bill by 48 to 21, asfollows:
YIiAs—Messrs. Allison, Armstmng,Bsiley,
Beck, Booth, Bruce, Cameron'of Penn, Came

~21. -
Messrs. Butler and Patterson, and Hill and
Harris were paired. Messrs. Eaton, Ransom
and Sharon were absent. .
There were sundry amendments carried,
the most important of which~repeals the un-
limited coinage section Of the Bland Bill, and
no doubt secured for the measure several Red
publican votes, it otherwise would have lost.
As it is, it now goes to the House tobe again
wrangled over, and cussed and discussed,
while the business of the whole country is
suffering a paralysis never before experienced
in this land of hope and plenty. The un-
timely agitation of this silver question was
terrible enough in its effects in unsettling
values and‘demoralizing all confidence and
credit, but added to this misery is
FERNANDO Woon’s TAnirr BILL.
This measure has brought hither delega-
tion after delegation, until the city is now
f all to overflowing of business men from all
sections of the Union, Interested in and af-
fected by the proposed general modification
of the Tariff laws. Mr. Wood has been so~
beset by parties in interest that he is accused
of having adopted the too common practice
of political dcmagogues, and attempted the
role of “Good Lord and good devil" towards
all comers. To a delegation interested in
haviuga certain article admitted at a low
duty, be, it is said, assures them their wishes
shall be gratified,—that in fact it is down in-'
his bill just as they wish it to be, while the
next hour, to parties diametrically opposed
to the matter specified, he makes the same
positive assertion, that it is all down as they
desire it should be The result is that im-
porters and dealerhn domestic manufactures
affected by foreign importations,do not know
whether they are on foot or horseback, and
so no orders are sent to Europe for foreign
goods and none given or received at ourown
workshops or marts Of commercial industry,
The result is that the active, enterprising and
employing business men of the nation are
being ground to powder between the upper
and nether milstones. Every community
feels this, and every man, woman and child
in America is made the poorer for such an
anomalous and unnecesary condition of things.
Leading Congressmen themselves admit if no
session had been _had and none were tO con-
vene for the next three years the business Of
the country would be infinitely more extend-
ed and prosperous.
PosT Orrlos Brooms.
A great mob of mail contractors, principal-
ly from the South and West, have beseiged
the Department all the week, as their bids,
amounting to over seventy thousand, were to
be opened and declared. As the numbers of
bidders were so unprecedentedly increased,
it will take all the force of clerks at the.
command (if the. Department at least a month
to examine, classify and make awards. The
universal prostration of all branches of busi—
ness is the cause of so vast an army being
anxious to serve the government in this ca-
pacity.
The leading publishers of New York and
Philadelphia have agreed to a series of amend-
ments to A. H. Bissell‘s bill providing for the
classification Of mail matter and rates Of
posi age thereon now pending before Congress.
The action of the Department in sendings
representative to these cities to confer with
the publishers before advising legislation
which would vitally affect their interests, is
most highly commended, TO carry into ef-
fect the provisions of the act it is proposed
to empower the Postmaster General to ap-
point a superintendent of mail classification
at a salary of two thousand, two hundred and
fifty dollars per annum, and it is supposed
Mr. Bissell will be such appointee as he dc.
serves lo be.
Was'r POINT 1N Tull Housx.
There was an old-time excitement and tu-
multuous debatein the House on Wednesday.
As usual. we had an ebulition of patriotism
and plantation manners from our Southern
friends. The angry waves of debate arose
over the charge made by Conger of Michi-
gan, that the democrats were insidiously nib-
bling away the army in every possible way
under the specious cry of ecOnomy. Chal-
mers, of Mississippi, responded in a truly
patriotic speech, and then brother Hewitt got
into the arena and was musscd up terribly by
his democratic brother, Aiken, Of South Car-
olina, who among other charges accused
Hewitt Of selling out Tilden. When chal-
lenged for his proof he quoted a speech, at-
tributed to Hewitt, wherein he said “I would
rather give up the presidency than see one
drop of blood spilled in defence of the demo-
cratic party.” Aiken aired his treasonable
sentiments, and Hewitt protested his inno-
cence of any participation in the so-called
Foster and Stanley Matthews’ bargain, while
Luttrell reminded them both that Bladens-
burg was but eight miles away, and the
walking good. It was a bitter personal “row"
among the democratic brethren, in which
Hewitt made the best exhibit of temper and
patriotism. The wounds made by this skir-
mish fight will be a long time in healing.
On Thursday, Gen. Randall Gibson made a
highly effective and eloquent speech on Lou-
isiana affairs. Although Gibson was a gener-
al in the Confederate army, he is a graduate
of Yale, a very eloquent man and seems to
have thoroughly renounced all his secession
hercsies. His speech ought to have a wide
circulation both North and South, as it is in
most striking and. favorable contrast with the
sentiments uttered by Aiken only the day be.
fore, in his tilt with Hewitt over the Tilden
defeat.
CABrnxTIln’s Prawns.
The Carpenter picture of President Lincoln
and his Cabinet at the moment of the first
reading Of the Emancipation Proclamation,
was presented with due formality. The
immense picture was placed over Speaker
Randall's chair extending from the rear of
his seat up to the reporter's gallery. The
Senate passed in a body over to the House,
and the artist, Mr. Frank B. Carpenter, of
Brooklyn, and the donor, Mrs. Elizabeth
Thompson, were assigned “seats of honor" on
the floor of the House. Several eloquent
speeches were made, but that by Gen. Gar-
field and the one by Alexander Stevens, of
Georgia, were conspicuously fine. Gen. Gar.
field has done nothing in more exquisite taste
and with so great beauty since his eulogy
upon Senator FERRY, wherein he pathetically
introduced the uncomplctcd address in course
of preparation by poor Starkweather, when
death so suddenly overtook him. With all
the vast labor expended by the artist, we
could not repress our feelings of regret that
the picture was not as good as Garfield's
speech. The lady donor paid the'artist $25,-
000 for it, and of course he is happy,
while so great a demonstration by the Nation’s
Representatives, Of a right should be delight-
ful to her, and so they both are, and of a
right ought to be—happy. It isa great pic-
ture and is to be hung in the west grand
stairway, going to the House gallery, and as
it represents a great historical event, let us
hope that defects of color and rigidity of
figures may wcar away with more familiar
seeing.
For THE PARIS Exrosmox.
The sloop-of-war Wyoming will positively
leave this city on the 15th of March with Gov-
ernment exhibits for the Paris Exposition.
All Government exhibitors are working encr-
getically,and the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture yesterday issued another circular, calling
attention to the fact that all matter for the
Exposition under the control of his depart-
ment must be delivered in this city prior
to the third proximo.
Many of the States, whose authorities on
account of the limited time available for pre.
paring the exhibits at first declined to send a
representation of their agriculture, have,
since the appointment of the commissioners,
shown a lively interest in the matter, and
will send—contributions of an exceedingly in-
teresting and valuable character. ‘
The Southern States have shown enterprise
in the work, and Virginia, South Carolina,
Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee
have large contributions in preparation. The
Northern States that will be represented are
Connecticut, Indiana, and Nebraska. Cali-
fornia will be represented by some private
contributions that will show to some extent
what she is capable of producing. Contribu-
tions have been received from private sources
in the other States.
The Department has prepared, from ma-
terial in hand, a collection of sections Of the
woods Of our forest trees which have an es-
tablished commercial value, a] series Of mod.
els in plaster of typical specimens of the
fruits and vegetables, and cases of insects in-
jurious to the principal crops, to be exhibited
alongside specimens Of the crops themselves.
Each insect will be accompanied by a card,
stating‘the character of the injury it inflicts.
The division in charge Of the exhibits is in
consultation with Mr. William G. Markham,
Of Avon, N. Y.. secretary Of the National
Wool-Growers’ Associatien, with relation to'
the best means of securing a representative,
collection of American wools.
Wm. D. Miller, of the Post Office Depart-
ment, has been granted a leave Of absence tO‘
serve as an attachee to Commissioner-General
McCormick, at the Paris Exposition.
Tun TERRITORY or leoomz.
The Senate Committee on Territories agreed
to report in favor of the creation Of the Ter-
ritory Of Lincoln in the Black Hills country.
Some Of the richest gold deposits ever yet
discovered on this continent have recently
been discovered in the Black Hills country,
and it is «fast filling up with population.
Already there are three daily papers at
Deadwood, and the Post-office there the
largest between Omaha andSalt Lake City.
SENATE PATENT COMMITTEE.
On Thursday, the Senate Committee on
Patents listened to an able and eloquent argu-
ment for the extension Of the Larven Car-
riage Wheel patent, by Ex. Governor C. R.
Ingersoll of New Haven. This superior
wheel is largely made and used by New
Haven and other Connecticut manufacturers.
The Washington papers with accustomed
accuracy, announced on Friday morning that
Bob Ingersoll had made the pics. The
blunder goes to show what theological possi-
bilities are uppermost in the minds of Wash-
ington editors.
Mrmsran To GERMANY.
The President has appointed Bayard
Taylor, the poet, author, editor, &c., as
Minister to Germany. As he is appointed
from Pennsylvania, and is one Of the best
yet made, it will go far towards healing .the
lore, caused by the Cameron-Welsh jam:-
pas.
A Coax. LIFE Instrument Co.
The Supreme Court of this District has
rendered a verdict til. the Hartford Phoenix
Life Insurance Co. and in favor of Capt.
Albert Grant. The company, as the report
runs, loaned Grant $150,000 at 10 per cent
interest on his block or (lwellmES on nus:
Capital street, and have thus far been unable
to get one cent of either interest or principal.
A few months since the property was put in
the hands of a receiver and this decision
restores the houses and all rents collected,
back to Grant. The basis Of Grant's defense
is usury, we believe. The case will doubtless
becarricd tO the U. S. Supreme Court, be.
fore the Insurance Co. gives up its large
claim. _
PsTnn PAnan’s Tamas.
It will be remembered that last yearn
notice was given in ‘this. correspondence Of
the Congressional Librarian’s desire to get
certain missing copies of the earlier series of
Peter Pariey's Tales. The notice was very
extensively copied into other papers, and
some twenty letters were sent Mr. Spofiord
from parties owning portions Of Mr. Good-
rich’s works. Unfortunately none of the
letter-writers possessed any one of the five
missing volumes. A few days since, the next
door neighbor of the Librarian, Mr. John.
Downes, a venerable edit or Of many mathe-
matical works, by chance mentioned the
fact of his having been the warm personal
friend of our Connecticut autlior,.and that
he had prepared Peter Pariey's Astronomy
and Pariey's Almanacs, for Mr. Goodrich.
On questioning him as to his now being in
possession of any of the series of' Pariey’s
Tales, .Mr. Spofiord found to his delight
that he had three of the five volumes needed
to render the Congressional Library collec-
tion of Mr. Goodrich's works complete.
Thelremaining two volumes yet needed, will
nowbesought with even greater interest
than before. Mr. Downes, is now about
80 years of age and the compiler of the
“Nautical Almanac," for the Navy' Depart-
ment.
A STEAM STREET Can.
The Angcrman motor, which was to be
put in operation on the Pennsylvania avenue
line of street cars to test its capacity and
adaptability, arrived here yesterday after-
noon. The apparatus consists of two cylin-
ders under the car, filled with hot water at
each end of the line. There is a small boiler
on the front of the car, by which the cylin-
ders is kept at a proper heat to generate the
tteam. It is changed at each end Of the
route, and, can be Operated by those men
now employed as horse drivers. It is set
and regulated by a skilled engineer, who re

will be made on Monday.

The New York Sun of Saturday professes
to have the facts which Mr. Hewitt decided
not to tell the “people Of the United States"
the other day. It says that on the third of
December, 1876, Mr. Hewitt called upon
President Grant to talk over. the outlook.
The President said he had doubts whether
Louisiana’s vote ought to be counted at all,
but that all that matter belonged to congress
to decide. He himself as President should
see that its decision was enforced. He be-
lieved the president of the Senate had the
power to declare who was elected,and whom-
soever Mr.Ferry declared President he would
sustain. Hewitt repeated this to Gibson,
Tucker and Lamar, and after consultation
they decided that they believed the vicepres-
ident had the power of declaring who was
elected, and they notified Mr.» Hewitt that
they should act up to their belief. This, the
Sim says, is what Mr. Hewitt almost told—
_ what a note from Tucker saved him from re.
vealing. It is not such a terrible revelation if
it is true. It seems as much as anything to
indicate that these southern gentlemen had
not recovered from their wholesale respect

from a lady now traveling in Europe; a na-
tive of one of our neighboring towns, bi t O

Perhaps a brief sketch of. 0 1r delightful
, tour through Scotland, may not be uninter-
esting. We had expected to have wet
weather there all the time, as you know it is
proverbial that when "it does no rain it
news" in Scotland. But we were most for-
tunate and enjoyed bright sunshine during
the greater part of our visit. The city of
Glasgow is a fine commercial town but con-
tains little to interest the tourist. We went
one afternoon to witness some “Highland
games" and listened for the first time to the
Scottish bag-pipes. I cannot say I thought
the music very soothing. We had the honor
of seeing Ex.~President Grant and wife at
the depot. From Glasgow we went by train
tothe “Bridge of Allan" which has _for many
years held a high rank among Scottish water-
ing places. It derives its name from the
bridge which crosses the river Allan, which
bounds the city on the West. The tower is
very lovely, situated on rising ground and
commanding an extensive view of the sur.
rounding country. In the foreground are
silvery streams relieved by bold, picturesque,
and elevated crags. In front, Stirling Rock
with its imposing castleZ; at the left Abbey
Craig, a rocky blufl three hundred and sixty-
two feet above sea level; memorable as the
place where William Wallace encamped his
troops the night before the famous battle of
Stirling. The Craig is now crowned by a
lofty monument erected to his memory.
Southward is the field of Bannockburn
where was fought that memorable contest
between Edward 2d, of England and Robert
1st, of Scotland, grandson of Robert Bruce,
which thoroughly established the independ
ence of the Scottish nation. One day we
drove to the castle of Donne some five miles
distant. It is prettily situated on a neck of
1and formed by the junction of the Ardoch
and Teith rivers, and is supposed to have
been built by Murdoch, Duke of Albany.
It was subsequently used as aroyal residence.
We drove through the town Of Donne (not
“Burna' Doon") thence to Dumblanc the
chief attraction of which is its Old cathedral
built in the year 1140, but like many other
ununvuun nuu nus-ulnar.) a. —u¢va\.\l u: ul’c In
Cromwell's time and is now a very interest-
ing ruin. One day we visited the Castle of
Stirling which is situated on a rocky emi-
nence overlooking the town from which it is
separated by an esplanade used as a parade
ground. The Castle is now used as a fortress
and ' garrison for soldiers. The prospect
from the battlements is superb. We viewed
fields upon which in Olden times the ten rna-
ments were held. In the rear of the castle is
the church where John Knox used to preach
and hard by the cemetery where repose the
bodies of many martyrs. Our next visit was
to that iovelicstof all cities, Edinburgh. It
is exceedingly picturesque being built on
hills and overlooked by Sallsburg Crags and
Arthur's Seat. The streets which are very
.wide in the new part of the city, are splen-
didly paved with lions and one can but look
with wonder at the residences in the Old
part some of them being from six to twelve
stories in'hcight. The entrance to the first
three to six stories would be on
one street and the entrance to the
upper stories on another. Of course
they are occupied by separate fami-
One day we drove to the Palace of Holy-
rood, which has been the scene of so much
grandeur and misery, and where poor Queen
Mary spent so many years Of her unhappy
life. We examined all the rooms with great
interest; saw the place where Lord Darnley
dragged Rizzio forth and murdered him.
The palace contains many fine pictures in
tapestry, in which, it is said, Queen Mary
herself excelled. After leaving the palace
we drove to “St. Leonard's Crag" to see
“Jeanie Donne's" residence, the heroine of
Scott’s “Heart of Mid Lothian," and a little
Dumbedylel," her would be lover, resided.
Thence we drove to Lord Nelson's monu.
ment, on Calton Hill. One morning weas-
scendcd, by a spiral staircase, Scott's monu-
ment, 200 feet high, and were amply reward-
edby the fine view Obtained. From thence
to the Castle. I-did not learn its exact date,
but it is very ancient. Malcolm Can-
more and his Queen Margaret, the first king
and queen of Scotland, resided there, and
Queen Mary gave birth to her only child.
James the Sixth, in that-palace. It isnow
used as a soldiers' garrison.- The Castle is
situated on a high bluff overlooking the city,
and the prospect is most picturesque.

From Edinburg we took train to Callendar
thence stage over the “Brigg of Turk”
where “James Fitz James pursued the stag,"
thence past Loch Achray through the Tro-
sachs, a wild gorge abouts mile in width, to
Loch Katrine. near which the Highland clans
under “Rob Roy" used to hold. their head-
quarters. Of course we saw “Ellen's Isle"
and tried to picture the scene where the fair
Ellen met “JamesFitz James" the disguised
King. We dined at Inversnaid and visited
the falls there. We might have spared our-
selves the tronble as they were not worth
ooking at. We sailed up Loch Katrine, a
portion of Loch Lamond, and Loch Long,
all very pretty but I must confess {O a slight
shade of disappointment. The mountains,
though beautiful, were not nearly as sublime
as I had been led to anticipate. Some allow-
ance innit be made, however, for my lack of
appreciation when it is remembered that I
was just fresh from the scenery of the Sierra
Nevada. The trip was most enjoyable from
the charm with which Sir Walter Scott has
invested it by hisjgraphical description Of the
scenery along the route in his “Lady of the
Lake,” canto the first. In my next I will

In 1.85172, being in the city of Paris, I vis-
ited the “Halle'Aux Vins," built on the sight
of the celebrated Abbey Of St. Victor, by
Napoleon I. The first stone .was laid on the
16th of August, 1818. The ground measures
441,700 metres or 109 English acres, and
comprises 5 streets, 2 large parks, 63 foun-
tains, and 444 cellars and warehouses capable
of storing 450,000 casks Of wine, 80,000 of
brandy, and 300 of Olive oil. It is inclosed
bya wall on three sides, and towards the
quay is fenced by an iron railing 800 mitres
in length. The streets are called after the
different wine countries Or sections from
which the products come, viz—Rue dc
Champagne, Rue de Bourgne, Rue de Bor-
deaux,Bue dc Lanquedoc,and Rue de in Cote
de Or. On the side next the quay are Offices
for those who superintend the entrance and
department Of the wines, etc., and a large
number of merchants counting houses. In
the back-ground is a warehouse for spirits——
_this constructed without the use of wood or
iron. In the halls there is also a bureau dc
dipolage, containing the gagues Of, the casks
Of the different parts of France. Here the
purchasers, may see them measured and test-
ed. Wines, &c., entering this depot pay no
duty until they are sold, but the warehouse
rent has to be paid at stated times. The av-
erage stock here is 400,000 hectolitres of wine
and 30,000 in alcohol. The Halle is open
from 6 to 6 in summer and from 7 tab in
winter. There are always wines of an infe-
rior quality on the wharf opposite.
I a... "man: that 1 mm count it a cask
or even a gallon Of pure French brandy could
be found for sale by any dealer _in our cities,
as there were houses at Havre where the
brandies were taken to and there prepared
for our markets. These of course must pass
through our Customs and we may get them
as pure as they were imported from the Cus-.
tom House, yet if passed to the dealers such
may be further ‘adulterated.

"modus Operandi.” I own a work in which
the processes are fully given for the making

On the evening ofWashington's birthday
our citizens will have another opportunity of
seeing this great’actor in his favorite role Of
Henry V, on the stage of Music Hall, city.
It is expected that the play will be produced

then jist starting out, and has since greatly
improved. The sale of reserved seats com-
mences this morning at 9 o’clock.
Mr. Arnold’s attempt to_ establish the
- Shield in the city, seems to be meeting with
vigorous Oppositisn, and he is already defend-
ant in two libel suits. In the first case he
published an item which he evidently be-
lieved to be true, but finding that his infor-
mation was not reliable. he published of his
own accord a full and complete retraction
which ought to have been satisfactory to any
man. For some reason, however, the case
was pushed against him, and he was held
for trial in the Superior' Court. His crime
seems to have been of the nature of careless.
ness rather than a desire to slander. IIe
printed a serious charge, or imputation, upon
what be supposed was sufilcient authority,
without taking the trouble to personally in-
vestigate the facts, as he should have done.
His retraction, however. was square and fair,
without reservation, and'will' speak loudly in
mitigation of the offense. The second suit,
we understand, is brought by Selectman
Smith, who is aggrieved at an article which
he feels was intended to slander him, al-
though his name does not appear. This last
suit was heard yesterday, but we have not
learned the result.
it seem a little singular that the Shield
should be snapped up so quick and so —often,
when the community has long sustained and
encouraged other journals a thousand times
more deserving of punishment.

The monthly cOiicert,' by the sabbath
School of the Congregational church was
held Sunday evening, as per announcement.
The subject chosen by the committee was
“The Limitless invitation," the two first
words displayed in golden letters over the
pulpit. The exercises commenced with
singing, followed in the prayer by Mr.
Frank Sammislate an assistant superintendent
of the school. The chairman, Mr. Dickorman
read a selection from the scriptures and was
followed by the recitation of texts by 10
girls each taking a letter—which combined
in forming the word “Invitation" which
were then placed hanging under the words
previously displayed—forming the sentence
The Limitless invitation.
Como unto me, by Miss Ada Swords, was
beautifully delivered and was followed by a
chant, with the same title, sang by Mrs.
Bette and Miss Eva Booth, in a very pathetic
manner. Recitations Of texts followed from
6 classes—the:school sang Precious promise.
This was followed by recitation of appro-‘
priate verses by the infant class—appropri-
ately followed by the singing of a solo and
chorus by the Lauder children, proving that
the smallest children can sing the 'praise of
Jesus. A recitation by Master.Clifiord Par-
dee, followed. Proofs of the universal invita-
tion, by3 adult classes, were then given,
followed with a double quartette, How beau-
tiful are the mountains.
Further proofs were given by six adult
classes, followed with the reading of Let us
come boldly to the throne of grace, by Miss
F. Benedict. 'The song by Grace Haulen-
beck, Bertha McQuahie and Mabel Nash was
one of the gems of the evening.
“Invitation." Rev. Mr. Dunning in his ad-
dress said this invitation was given to all.
It is the same as if a man should prepare a
supper and invite all to come. The invita-
tion is limitless, but the time to accept, is
now, tO-day. Remember now thy creator
in the days of thy youth. Soon character
will be formed and will stay just as the twig
which is bent while it is young. Though
the invitation is so general, it may be dan-
gerous and will be if we do not accept.
