r SENATE. The Senate passed the armv appro-
priation bill, and then went into executive ses-
sion.
Mr.. Wilson offered the following preamble
and resolution:
WHLREAs, Lazarus w. Powell, after several
States had seeded themselves from the Union,
on the 20th OF JuBe last attended large south
ern States ights Convention, aud was P, esi,
dent treof, and where resolutions we're passed
appealing the neutrality of Kentucky and de-
Douncing the war, ard also attended another
Convention on the 10Th OF September, where
more resolutions were passed OF the same I'm
port; aud said Powell had gwen all aid aid
comiorL to the enemy be could f,Um the position
ho otcu. Ell; therefore,
Rssoiped, that said Lazarus w Powell be ex.
pelled from the Seuale
Referred to the committee Of the Judiciary.
On motion OF Mr.. Grimes, the bill 10 estab
lish national armory at Rock Island was taxi
en- up.
Mr.. Howe moved its reference to the Militia
ry committee. f-g
Mr.. Wilson Of Mass. had no desire to have
it referred 20 that committee. He was not sure
that the Government needed another armory
al this time; but il did need founcry for max
| ing cannon, etc.
/ Hcu - The House took up the report from
the committee OF the Whole on the Senate's
amendments to the treasury note bill. az
Mr. Hooper briefly expressed bis views. He
said the object was TO furnish o substantial and
uniform currency, and to, approve the distinc-
tion proposed to be made In favor of the holders
Of the stock, by paying the interest In coin.
Mr.. Stevens said he had melancholy fore
boding that they we're about to consnmmate q

great injury throughout the country, at the in.
stance Of the bankers. The Senate has been
persuaded to mangle and destroy what had cost
| the House months TO digest, consider and pass.
Tue bill has been so dishgured that It's very
fathers fail to recognize 1t. Instead Of being q
beneficial and invigorating measure, and afford
\ ing uniform and equal currency for all, Il pos
sesses positive and great mischief. Il now has
all the bad qualities which have been attributed
to it, without single benefit In its amended
form It creates two classes Of currency--one for
bankers and brokers, and another for the people.
It dhcrimipates between different classes. Take
away the legal tender clause and the Govern
ment will be In the clutches Of the harpies.
| ALI the amendments. TO the Treasury note
bill were acted on. The amendment making
the interest on the notes payable in coin, was
egreed 70. The amendment pledging the lands,
duties and pfoceeds OF febOl property to the re-
dempton OF the principal and interes. Of the
debt, was rejected. The bill goes back to the
Senate again 81.
The Posscffice appropriation bill was up In
committee Of the whole.
Among the more important amendments 70
1.-The Treasury note bill agreed TO. are the fol
j lowing: The notes to be receivable In payment
4 of ali claims aud demands Of every KIND, ex
cept for the interest on the bonds and th.
notes, which shall be paid In coin, (the vote OF

al their market value fof coin, or for any Of the
Treasury notes heretofore or hereafter TO be is.
kued, or for botes under THE act AZ a8
Mr.. Hooper, after this vote, said that the bill
had thus been re1dered useless, and moved TO
lay the succeeding amendments on the table;
which, had u been agreed 20, would have re-
jected the entire bill. ,-,
The vote on the motion to lay on the table
was--yeas 81, nays 12O
The House then ag-eed TO the Senate amend
meDt authorizing the Secretary Of the Treasu-
ry to receive the notes on deposit for not less
than thirty daye, ID Gums Of not less than one
hundred dolars, certificates to be itsued there
for, etc This, however, was amended by the
House 80 as to include deposits Of coin, and
changing the interest TO that which the Secre
tary may from time to time prescribe, not ex'
ceeding six per cent.
Tn. bill again goes back 10 the Senate, ow.
ing 10 the disagreement OF the House to some
of the amendments pt
Mr.. Maynard, from the committee on Ways
and Means, reported bill establishing q branch
mint at Denver City, Colorado Territory.
Mr. Blair of Mo from the Military commit
tet, reported q bill establishing ship canal
from the Mississippi river to lake Michigan,
for the conveyance OF military stores and
troops.
!. The House then went into committee OF the
Whole on the postoffce appropriation bill.
Mr.. Voorhies spoke in favor Of the war being
waged on strictly constitutional grounds, guild
ed by IN enlightened Christianity.
Mr.. Washburn said the Geueral had announc
ed the people Of Indiana we're ready to COM
promise with the rebels, but he wished to
remark that the. people of Illinois were ready
to compromise on terms offered by Gen. Grant
to Buckner, viz; Unconditional surrender.
The House went into committee of the
Whole and laid aside the post Office bill,
taking up the Senate amendments to army bills,
which were concurred in.

Dauvid's Perplexity.

Tho fishermen of tho north of the Firth OF
the Forth have always been looked upon by
those OF the south shore as little more than
sayages, and very unpublished. At one time
q heavy northeasterly storm drove Buckha.
ven boat toward the Dunbar coast, and dur.
ing the detention of several days one Of the
north shore boys fell violently in love with
strapping damsel Of Dunbar, whom he ulti-
mately married. The young bride did her
best to instruct her husband in the purcr Ian
guagc and less jaw.brcaking dialect Of the
aristocratic south shore, but he was very
slow pupil, as the sequel will show.
In process Of time son was born to the
loving pair, and oil in due order second
youth, the very image OF his mother. made
bis case known in the house OF his father.
whereupon the following colloquy was held /:
Moo, Dauvid. ye'rs GAVIN to the minister
to see about the baptism but mind. 20 10 no
to speak about the bdirn: that's a vulgar
word-just like ye folks Of Fife. Eh, mon,
Gin hal ye over ut Danbiur, I wad max
man OF ye? Bit Dauvid, my man, yo'rc to
say to tho minister, Gin 20 please, Master
PIX. will 70 come down this e'enin and
baptecze the iniant?' Mind, moo, Dau'id'
not the bairn, bit the infant.
David looked with wonder on his young
wife, at her learning and good breeding, and
he loved her moro than ever. But the woru
infant was new to him; 1t was too sois ana
sveot for his untutored lips 10 lisp, but' true
10 his love, he tried 1t, and Promlsed nel
faithfully 10 try II again, and muttcring u
over and oycr-infant. infant, infant-took
bis vay towards the minister's house. Bot,
era be rescbod IL, David had Lost the aow Of
the syliabics, and before he had recovered bis
nrcsenco of mind no found himself In the
Minister'S hall. The worthy minister, half
suspecting what had brought the fisherman
along % early, said:
well, David, how are 20 oil down the
wayr
'Bmwly, sir. thank 70, we'ro ss weel as
can be expected
