THURSDAY, Feb. 6.
isenate-The Senate spent the day in
discussing the bill to define the pay of
certain officers in the army, and other
persons. The only proposition agreed to
was an amendment to the 9th Section, to
compute the milage Of members of Con-
gress by the nearest mail route and to
reduce it 30 per cent.
House-The House resumed the consid-
Grafton Of the treasury note bill. After a
long debate, the original bill was with
drawn, and Mr. Stevens offered substi-
tutn, retaining the legal tender clause,
and providing that the notes shall be con-
vertible into six per cent stock, and in
this shape the bill passed-92 to SO

AGENT OF JEFF DAVIS ARRESTED IN Chi
cAco.-Chicago enjoyed all the delights
of n sensation on Saturday last over the
arrest of man named Hendricks, who
had been in that city some weeks getting
plates of $50 and 500 bills of the Confed-
crate scrip. Hehad gothic plates finished
and about half a million of the bills
printed, when he was pounced upon by
the police. Hepretended that his purpose
was to counterfeit the scrip and put it
largely in circulation at the South to annoy
the rebel government, bnt papers found
on his person showed that he was real
agent, and his talk about counterfei!ing a
pretence. -

USurpafiOD.


It is difficult to account for the nervous
ness some of the republican papers
manifest lest the Constitutional Conven-
ton now in session at Springfield may put
in force some of their work Immediately.
This is called daring usurration Of power,
as if such thing were utterly without
precedent, and it were quite settled that
nothing the Convention may do can be Of
any validity until first submitted to the
people This is evidently jumping at con-
clus,ons bindly. The present constitution
of Illinois, from which the Convention
derives its existence, and which defines
its powers, imposes upon itno obligation to
submit any portion OF its work to the
people On the contrary, it seems pur-
posely to refrain from imposing such an
obligation upon it, for IN the article in
reference to amendments, it expressly
provides that amendments made by the
legislature shall be submitted to the peo-
pie, while it omits the requirement as to
amendments made by convention -
Again, it is by no means an unusual thing
for conventions to make constitutions and
put them in force without submission. In
the earlier days of our history, this was
the usual course in all the States, and
submission to the people was the excep-
ton rather than the rule Indeed, if we
recollect Alright, the Constitutional Con
-, 81 q a,
constitution, by the schedule, put in force
several provisions, to remain in force con-
tingent on the balance of the constitution
being approved by the people
We say this, not because we think the
convention ought, as they have solemnly
declared they do not intend to put in
force any material portion of the consti'u-
ton they arc about TO frame without sub
hitting it to the people; but to show that
their claim Of power to do so, at least in
reference to few provisions Of immediate
necessity, SO far from being a usurpa,ior.,
is vested in them beyond any reasonable
doubt.
We magine the nervousness of certain
class of republican sheets on this subject
arises from an apprehension that recent
exposures OF pretty high handed opera
tons on the part OF our State officials may
tempt the Convention to strike at he
root of the evil Toy depriy.ng them Of some
dangerous functions. The bank como
rants also, are in trepidation, and have
their influence in prompting the repuhl-
can press There are, doubtless, in the
Convention. some hot headed, indiscreet
men, who have made foolish speeches and
offered absurd propositions; but the vast
body of the members have shown them
selves conservative men, aud from their
work thus far, we see no occasion what
ever for alarm as 10 their possible doings.

IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. every
steamer from Europe, since the settlement
of the Trent affair, has brought vague ru-
mors and hints that although England
was apparently satisfied, and outwardly
exhibited no purpose to Interfere in Amer
Ican affairs for a time, at least, yet she was
in secret correspondence with France, that
a perfect understanding with France was
being arrived at on the subject, and that
Napoleon, in his opening speech to the
French Chambers, would declare the pur-
pose of the allies to interfere with the
Southern blockade. The news by the
America, which arrived on Monday, in
deed repeated these reports so positively
that it seemed impossible longer to con-
ceive that they were without foundation.
No wonder then, that the arrival OF the
next steamer, which would bring the
French Emperor's speech, was awaited
with deep anxiety; and no wonder, also,
at the great relief the country now feels,
since the next steamer, the Jura has ar
speech on fl ding that it contains no threat
of the sort predicted. On the contrary
Napoleon says:
1.-The civil war which deso!ates America
has greatly compromised our commercial
interests SO long. however, as the rights
of neutrals are respected, we must con
fine ourselves to expressing wishes Tor an
early termination of those dssentions.
This must settle the hash for the rebel
lion. The only tonic by which the sick
concern has been kept on its legs for the
last three months was the hope OF Europe
an aid. The decision of France must kill
all hope Of the sort for a year to come at
at ledst and at the rate the war is now
progressing, it is certainly not unreasonable
to believe that before a year can pass over
our arms will have opened the cotton ports
and the ringleaders of the rebellion viii be
in fair way to stretch hemp.

s. Hark, From the Tombs."

A solemn wall comes no from Cobb, Tombs
and Crawford in an address to the people
of Georgia. They say Our enemy has
exhibited an energy, perseverance and
an amount of resources which we had
hardly expected. An immense
army has been organized for our destruc-
ton, which is being disciplined to the un-
thinking stoldity of regulars. With the
exclusive possession of the sea, our enemy
is enabled TO throw upon the shores of
every State the nucleus of an army. Aud
the threat is made, aud doubtless the
attempt will be made in early spring, to
crush Us WITH a giants grasp by simui-
taneous movement along our entire hor
ders With whatever alacrity our peo-
pie may rush to arms. and with whatever
energy our government may use Its re-
sources, we cannot expect 10 cope with our
enemy either in numbers, equipment, or
munitions of war To provide against
these odds. we must look TO desperate
courage, unflinching daring and universal
self.sacrifice." Cobb no doubt remembers
his operations in the Treasury Floyd in
the War and Thompson i'll the Interior
Departments. and conders at the resold COS
! and energy ofMe people These patriots then
proceed to advise that the women and
children be supplied with frebrands to
burn the loved homes Of our youth that
the fields of our heritage may be made
desolate." And this is the entertainment
which Cobb, Tombs, and their conferes
have prepared for the people OF Georgia,
who were a year ago prosperous and great
under the blessings of our Union.
