About five years ago, obtained from Mr. Tobias
in Washington, pair of Glasses for the Spectaces
which used and found them of great assistance to
my decaying visions and my opinion of him is that
he is skful in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.

XXXIVTH GONG r Els S
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE W.spIsoroy. June 10. 1875,

Mr.. CRITTENDEN submitted a resolution requir
ipg the President in view OF the difficulties IN Kansas
and the employment of military force for the restoEa-
tion of law peace and harmony there, t. send Cen
Sc, II TO take command of those forces.
Mr.. CRlTTENDEN said il seemed to him that Tie
Senate but very seldom had under Their consideration
a subject of more Importance. Il was enough to make
them 81 ashamed for the spectacle now presented IN
Kansas.
They had been in session six months and not one
step had been taken by them to remedy this disgrace
full evil growing day by day, spreading wider and
wider, ana infaming more and more passions already
too much excited. -.
Not ONLY is the peace and quiet of Kansas disturbed
Int the peace of the entire country seriously threatened
OF debate there had been enough bu, not of the kind
to contribute TO impartial Judgment but 20 LEAD to
crmination and iecriminatioD. He wanted to see
broad general and faternal peace, and that must be
the ambition of all.
In the course Of his remarks he said tina, Gen. Scott
carried in lis left hand the sword and IN BIS night hand
peGoe-gente peace-and by his voice. trumpet
iongutd,' will do more than thousand b1yonetS:
His CritteDdens object WIS 10 put an tnd 20 way ana
anarchy in Kansas.
Mr. MASON was not now prepared to vote either
for or against the resolution, and asked that II might
lie over till Tomorrow He had doubts as 10 the pro-
pretV Of making such request OF the President, wlo,
as Coumander-in- Chief of the army has sole power
over The matter. While entertaining the highest re
,ptct FOR the patriotism and Judgment of the Senator
nom Kentucky, he did not think the condition Of
th G. in Kansss called for the course proposed.
Mr.. CRlrIENDEN replied that, a. Cen Scott was
all old man. the President might feel some reluctance
in ordering him on TIA, distant seyice but, in lis
opinion the Senate ought 10 ondeavobtO contribute TO
Il promotion of peace in Kansas.
Nj. SEWARD was in favor of sending Gen. Scott
there but thought II would be a. well to do It by Joint
resolution. He also suggested that the preamble to
Mr. Criierdtu's proposition be omitted, is the fact.
therein set forth WI known TO the President and
the country.
Further consideration OF The resolution was post
POI d till tomorrow.
NJ FOSIFE offered a resolution directing the
Committee on CONNIE to inquire into the expedency
If authorizing tie Issue OF register to the British
huit bark Il, >olue, which was abandoned BY
that Govtr ment, and found derilec. in the
Arctic Ocean by The American whaeship George
HeIry and by Der brought into the port of New

we learn that the Padre Will, General Walkers
Extraordinary Eovoy, has determined to abandon
the United States in disgust and will sap hence ia
the steamer of the oath. In the first place, he has
rot been received by the Presiden. and Secretary
OF State except in a sort Of backstsrs way, and
with the dgDitares Of his church he iuds himself.
as the plenipotentiaIy Of Walker, Cd anything but
footing Of ecclesias.icl harmony and fraternity.
Indeed there are amusing accounts in circulation
Of the Padres interview with Archbishop Hughes,
when the Rev Viii departed in such haste ~ to
leave his steepe.crowned brOad-brim behind him.
But this is not the worst: the good Padre can't %,
anything fl. to eat in this progressive and ire
mendoUs natOn. In AL North America he has not
been able to procure e her roies tOrtiiias, and
what else, pray, ought Christian priest, let alone
1llibuster diplomat, 10 feed uponl Besides in this
country, such are the unenlshtened pref ldices Of
ihe population, it is necessary TO wear pan aloons

Mr.. Buchanan's speech to the Keystone Club Of
Philadelphia is striking daguerreotype OF the man
and of his position. He accepts the Cincinnati
Platform unreservcdy, aud plants himself there
upon with alacrty Its emphatic approval of the
Kausas-Nebrsska act, its condemnation OF the
efforts of the Free State men of Kansas to defend
Themselves against the grossest usurpatlon and
tyranny, and its complete though Ambiguous and
cowardy denial of power in the People OF any Ter
rtory to exclude Slavery from their midst until
they shall be permitted TO form State Constltu-
ton are all night in his eyes, as nything would be
that helped him on his way to the Presidency. The
Slave Power has never had more tacile aud heart
less tool than he has been and is willing to be.
The Virginia slave. 'eeders were not mistaken in
their man. He tells his admirers, fresh from their
,tIorts in bis behalf at Cincinnati that
"Beirg the representative of the great Democratic
party, and not Smpiy James BHchdnGa, must square
nv ConGuCt according To tie platform OF tlat party,
and insert no new plank, nor take one from H."
Is this the language Of statesman Is it not
rather that of mere party hack, praising the
bridge that is expected TO carry him safe over
Consider that Mr.. Buchanan was elected to the
State Legislature, al three times TO Congress- as
a Federalist. beating the Democratic candidates
opposed to him by sheer force Of party strength.
He was twice chosen to Congress as a Fedegalist,
after lie had become leading and violent Jackson
man. AID Patrick Henry, III The EreH'ng Post,
SAYS that stil later, i'll lo2S, at the Yellow Springs,
in Chester County, Pa, he refused to allow his
aa,pe TO be announced as Democrat, sa.ins he
WAS ga jackson man, but, thank God no Dem
ocrat." But he could not then make slythi I on.
Of professions of Democracy, which noH appear
likely to pay: hence the change.
