In the Saturday evening session, the Sen
ate's amendment to the twenty-one million
loan bill was taken mp, and in the discussion,
Mr.. Sherman said that they had now reached
the real difficulty OF the session; they should
s.nna firm and not ALLOW the Senate palpably
to violate the Constitution, for all revenue
measures must originate in the House; the
proposition pending was revenue bill in
the most offensive form.
After considerable debate, the Senate's
amendment was disagreed to. The House
stands firm, as it ought to, and as we hope it
will, if il stays there till December.
On Monday, 18th, the resolution declaring
that Mr.. Anderson, of KY, was entitled to
retain his seat, was taken up, and Mr. Crosse
man, contestant, spoke in support OF his
claims.

The unwisldy proportions of Noah's Ark
have been favorite subject OF ridicule to
many very smart people from time mmemo-
rial. 1t has been urged that such an ill.pro-
portioned hulk could not have doated on the
wide waters, but must have incnntinently
sunk in the bosom Of the great deep and
even were it possible for it to keep aloat, it's
'Fgreat length and little width" we were as
sured would have caused such rolling and
pitching Of the vessel as would have tumbled
the sslye stock" with which it was freighted
all in a heap and crushed them to death.
1t seems, however. that now, more than
four thousand years after the Ark landed
safely on the mountains Of Ararat, naviga-
ton and ship building have exhausted the
ingenuity and science of man in construct
ing the Great Eastern, which is 1873 feet
longer than Noah's Ark and not so wide by
feet.
What will be said now of the ssunwieldy
disproportions" of the Ark and the knowl-
edge, however derived, of the earliest and
most famous navigator of whom history gives
an account?

SLAVE pRoPEarY.--The sale on Saturday,
of the - slaves belonging to the State Of
Louisiana. BY Messrs. G. Il. Girardev & Co.
amounts 20 $3.50. These slaves ranged
in ages from 81 to IS years, sold on az av-
erage OF $1,000 round. Considering their
habits, their average ages of 46 years, the
advanced stage OF our season, nothing guar
anteed excepting title, and cash terms, this
sale rs pronounced the best of the year.
Besides the above, they sold ut the same
time, 80 others, ranging in ages from lo
months to 30 years, averaging $3.50 round,
on terms equivalent to cash. The highest
price paid for field hands was, for men rang
ins from Il 10 Is years, 81 900 10 81 900.
Women of the same age 81 400 to 81 600.

Mr.. Douglas is now certain of the nomi-
nation at baltimore, and the Southern Dem
ocrats are equally certain that he will not be
nominated. lie expects the Convention will
give seats to certain bogus delegations from
certain slave States, and If he manages his
gard successfully, he will get the nomination.
The great CONTEXT will be on contested seats,
as is admitted by everybody here now. The
regulars from the seeding States will try to
regain their seats, and the Douglas delega-
sions, who represent, perhaps one-fifth OF
the Democratic voters In their respective
States, will claim, that, having deserted the
Convention at Charleston, they cannot re-
turn, and will claim the seats for themselves.
If MIR. Douglas carries this point, he will
win the nomination also. His health at this
time ia very bad. Not only 10 bis throat 10

operation upon il but he ia very much
troubled with neuralgia affection in the

HUMBLE bMPLOYMENT.-Ac CORRESPONDENT of
the New York Evening Post writes as follows
Your correspondent T. W. NJ, in Yesterdays
paper, speaking of the intended reception of the
japanese embassy in this city, among Others
makes the following suggestion, viz to remove
the innumerable yenders of apples, cigars,
dogs DC, from the side walks Of Trinity and
81 Paul's churches, the Park and Printing
House Square. This, I think, is as cruel as Il
UNJUST. Is not the business of apple vending
lawful, and as honest as any, even that which
your correspondent carries ON? Are not apple,
cigar, and dog venders as respectable as II
W. M, although they do not dwell in Fifth
avenue palaces? Does not I. W. NJ. know that
these poor people, like many others, depend
upon their daily earning for support? Why,
then, take away from them SO mercilessly their
scanty bread? They do not occasion any in
convenience to any body in those thorough
fares; they do not obstruct the side walks any
more - than show cases or dry goods bales. But
1. w. NJ wants them to change their occupa-
uons. He thinks it is very easy in this large
and crowded city to find employment to suit
every one, even the poor blind whom he would
KICK from his presence. If so, generous man,
procure them position in your establishment
or the Custom House; or if you have means
give to those blind gratuitogs home, and let
us hear no moro about those detested yenders
OF apples, cigars, dogs, and others"
