CONGRESSIONAL.

WAsnlSGToS. Jan. i-Saate.--Thc Senate met al
the usual hour in their old chamber. After prayer
and the reading Of the Journal.
Mr. Stuart moved that ladies be admitted upon the
floor OF tue Senate TO witness the ceremonies of rnmoy-
al, there not being room in the galleries (Which were
already crowded. to accommodate near all who de
sired to be present
Mr.. lamlin felt compelled TO object to this motion
although it was an ungracious and unpleasant task
bnt on several occasions when ladies had previously
been admitted on the floor. it had always resulted n
dctriment 10 the public business.
Mr.. Davis. from the Committee OF Arran cement to
whom had been referred The duty Of experimenting
the preparation Of the chamber for tho reception
Of the Senate, submitted report accompanied by a
diagram.
Mr.. Crtendcn moved the adoption of the report.
The parting from this chamber he thought, had about
Il much Of solcmnity. Many assocatOns-Inany of
them pleasant and proud ones-bound them to it.
It has been the Of great events. Questions re.
lating TO American Constitutional aw-uue@ons Of
great national mport-qncstions of peace and of war
had been debated i'll this chamber Great men had
been the actors within these walls He had there
men whose name and fame had not been surpassed in
'Greek or ltOmap history.
Here he had seen Clay and Webster, Calhoun Lee,
Wright and others. They seem TO have left these
very walls the impress Of their fame This majestic
dome yet seems to echo their voices There others
too, whom he would not designate for they had not
yet fulfilled their political services, but whose names
are in no danger of being forgotten
Nhen senators removed to the new chamber they
would carry win them the inspiration of their illus
trious predecessors. They would leave behind them

lie then went into an interesting comparison Of the
character OF the Senate in the early days of the Gov
crnmen and now. Then it was almost wholly an cy-
ecutige body. Mich Of its business was transacted
with closed doors. The President often took part in
the debates, and it was not for many years that gal
leries were furnished for spectators.
After further remarks, which were listened to with
great attention, the Senate proceeded in procession to

With respect to Cuba the tone Of the Times Is even
more undisgniscd, and that pleasant and ann able
journal charges the President with II design to ron
and plumber Spain, scarcely thinking 1t worth the
trouble to mask its accusation by the parable ol ia
MAN and the vineyard. Remember that this very
Times has more than once inmatcd that The purchase
of Cuba by the United State would hc q boon to h'l-
nanity-urguing the question from the same stand
puut that adopted by the l'rcsidcnvi2: that the
acquisition of Cuba would eileCtually suppress the
slave trade
The truh Il that the traditional hatred of that Tory
print towards our country. prompts II on every suith-
bic occasion to indulge IN ulling at u.s. our laws, gov
crnmcnt policy or manners Nationally or indivd-
uully we are dislikcd by the Times and of course by
most of EngliSh prints. Hence the annual commun-
icaiion Of our Executive to Congress is generally
seized upon as n giindstone ON which these sheets
