meeting was held last evening in the Lecture room
Of DR. Cheevef's Church In commemoration Of
The Life and Death of John Brown. The movers
In the meeting apprehended riot, and applied
10 the Superintendent of Police for protection.

and directed the exercises; DR.. McCune Smith
introduced black woman who bad made eight
visits to the South and Brought back 43 slaves into
freedom; they called her Moses, she was as black
as black could be- Mr. Andrews Of Illinois

Union; there was no hope for 1t, 1t must come In

well TAINTED with Slavery; IL was too great sin
to be plated except In blood He had told South
ern men that he believed that John Brown a
man Of God. He had been surprised to find the
clergy in the South the most Jealous advocates OF
slavery. These were perilous times, Slavery
would not die In this country without a final
effort to overthrow eedom Of speech aud Of the
press. The meeting was continued until a late
hour. One man said that he had heard Judge

"WEDNESDAY, December IL.

SENATE Mr. Bigler offered an amendment to
the Morrill, tariff bill which was referred to the
Committee on Finance.
Mr.. Hunter, from the Committee on Finance,
reported back the Treasury note bill with sundry
amendments.
The first amendment, providing that the lowest
denom nation of the notes should be fifty instead
Of one hundred dollars, was agreed to.
The second amendment provided that the re-
ceipts Of the sales of the public lands should be
set aside to redeem these notes, and that they be
limited I'm amount to SO 900, 900.
Mr.. Hunter advocated the amendment, which
was opposed by Mr.. Simmons, Mr.. Cameron, and
others.
Mr. Fessenden favored the bill.
HousE.-Various propositions, looking to a
observance Of the Constitution, were offered and
appropriately referred.
Sir. Thayer, of Mass, presented series of
resolutions proposing certain concessions for the
MI. Adrian, of N. J., offered a series Of resou-

And again, that all statutes enacted by any State

MoRE TRoUBLs ABOUT THE House. PRINTING.
IL turns out that Mr.. Ford, the House Printer has
not made his appearance here as yet during this
session, and his assignees, Messrs. Larcombe &
English, Of this city, decline to continue to do
the work under the action Of Congress reducing
the price paid for the printing Of this session 40
per centum. IT seems that they agreed to give
Mr.. Ford 20 per cent Of the prices paid by Con-
gress for his contract.
The subsequent reduction Of those prices 40 per
centum would make the execution Of the work Of
this session utterly ruinous to them The manner
in which Ford 10 understood to be bounded down
when here by those holding his obligations to
pay for their services in procuring his election is
understood to be keeping him away from Wash
ington. In the meanwhile, the House must
whistle for its printing, we apprehend. An effort
to elect another In his stead to be essayed at once
was talked Of around the House hall this morning

to Limit the amount issued to So 900 900. and

make the relief thus given to the Treasury very
