lowing language in regard to liberation,

"For our own part, We take this op-
portunity Of explaining our hearty de-
light at the suppression Of the Protestant
chapel as Rome. This may be thought
intolerant but when, We ask, did we pro-
fe.s to be tolerant Of Professionalism, or to
favor the doctrine that PrOtestdntisnl ought
to be Tolerated? On the contrary We hate
Protestantism-we detest it with our
whole heart and soul, and We pray our
Aversion to it may never decrease. We
hold it meet that in the eternal city no
,corship repugnant to God shonH be toIer-
ated, and we are sincerely glad that the
enemies of the truth are no longer allowed
to meet together in the capital Of the
Christian world"
The Boston Pilot says:
"No good government can erist ,o'thonf
reliiy;on, and there can be no religion
without an Aquisition, which is wisely
designed for the promotion and protection
of the faith"

in the land, end you were in a minority,
if not in numbers yet in power what would
we do to you? That, We say,would entirely
depend on circumstances. If it would be-

one thing, we would never tolerate you
for the sake of the glorious principles o.

ded, that Zone about to purchase real es-
tate, at public or private sale, is not bound
to make further inquiry, as to existence Of
membranes, than what be may learn
from the public records. A secret lien
will not be enforced against the estate in

The Cnson reviews with great severity the

call public attention to the fact that while

party, Andrew Jackson Donslson no less We

though in so few words, that
"Amongst the business in the hands of the
committees Of the House, ready to be report
ed, We may mention the bill granting addi.
tional facilities for voting at elections in the
city Of Washington. This bill was passed by
the Senate on the 18th of April. 1t provides
that there shall be two places of voting in
each ward, and that the polls shall be opened
at seven o'clock in the morning and closed at
seven O'Clock in the evening. These pro-
visions are both salutary and proper, and, as
the time for holding the municipal election is
at hand, our citizens generally feel much in

The Intsl!tgenesr, in q calm and we'll con-

scheme of recognising the Rivas-Walker gov

at present, that tho native population regard
1t as mere despotism Of foreign hllibusters,
imposed on them by the rifles and revolvers
Of foreign sdventurers. The editors contrast
such an executive act as that, with the foreign
policy of this Government in the hands of those
ut present responsible for its doings, which it
(ths Entslf,s 1esr) has 80 often taken occasion
to praise and concludes that il the outside

gular spectacle to the world under the cir
oumstances involved in the fillibusters raid on
Nicaragua. Such is the drift of the erudite

Proceedings of To-Day.


In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Crittenden
moved to reconsider the vote by which the
Senate had on Friday passed the Iowa Land
bill, in order to give him an opportunity to
move to amend it by adding thereto clause
including the Iowa Central Railroad in the
grant of lands contemplated by the said bill
Mr.. c. addressed the Senate in favor of tn at
motion, and was replied to by Mr.. Jones of
Iowa, who denied the accuracy of the state
ments of Mr.. Schenck, Qate U. 8. Minister to
BraziD concerning the amount Of work that
had been done on that road, Mr.. s. being the
agent for the prosecution OF its petition be-
fore Congre for grant of land.
After explanation in which both Mr. Crit
tenden and Mr.. Jones, of Iowa, participated,
the latter was understood to withdraw his
charge against Mr.. Schenck.
In the House, the first business In order
was on agreeing to the pending motion of Mr..
Clingman, to suspend the rules for the con-
sideratiOn Of his joint resolution, which is as
follows:

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

The Senate did not meet on Saturday.
In the House, on Saturday, after we went
to press, Mr.. Fuller of Pennsylvania, rising to
personal explanation corrected what he con-
ceived to be the misrepresentation Of some OF
his fellow members with reference to the ma
tionality of his position upon the slavery
question; taking OCCASION in the course of his
remarks, to criticise with great severity the
early views and course of the Hon: James
Buchanan on the slavery question. He also
argued to prove that that gentleman had been
at all times, up to the present moment, con-
slant opponent Of the extension Of slavery to
territory in which it did not exist by positive
enactment
Mr. Todd explained that had he known the
views of Mr.. Fuller to be as he explained
them, he should not have voted for him in the
election of . Speaker.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn, catechised Mr.. Fuller
upon the alleged discrepancy between his
record and his present position, as gathered
from his remarks Just made. ..
Mr.. Jones, Of Pa, gave notice that he should
take An early occasion to reply to the remarks
of Mr.. Fuller.
The question then arose on the pending mo-
ton to reconsider the vote rejecting the reso-
luton authorizing the contestants to the Del
gates seat from New Mexico to appear before
the House to advocate their respective claims;
and it was laid on the table-ayes "a, noes 48.
And then they adjourned.
