to Congress a resolution in regard
non-intercourse with Great Brit

While the present debt lasts, it

British Government had refused to
settle it; and not only so, but had
refused to continue the controversy
on the subject. Mr.. Chandler said
the proper course for this country
to pursue was absolute non-inter-
course with Great Britain until
this bill was settled. True, we
might declare war and blockade

applaud us, but non-intercourse
was the best peaceful mode of re-

could only be received by unani-
nous consent, Eand dissenting
voice was found. No one doubts
the meaning of the resolution that
''treason is a crime and ought to
be punished" or any of the blood
thirsty resolutions that have been
offered and adopted.
This House of Commons is fol-
lowing exactly in the footsteps of
that of the long Parliament OF Eng
land, which, under pretense of
representing the majesty of the
people of England, dethroned the
King, dismissed the Lords, and
hurled the Judges from their
benches. Twelve years later the
another slight difference. The
President thinks it right to leave
to the Southern people the regula-
ton of their own local politics (;
Congress thinks it would be
wrong-another immaterial disa-
,greement. The President believes
that the legislation for the Union
should be done by the representa-
tives Of the people Of the Union /;
Congress insists upon a large
amount of preliminary legislation
including some twenty or more
constitutional clauses by the
North for the government of the
South, before equality can be per-
mitted-still another disagreement.
The President contends that the
people Of the South are people,
and as such are entitled to arrange
the basis of their local governments
according to their own views Of
that which is expedient; Congress
affirms that they are not a people /;
and have no rights whatever, orig
inal or acquired-another inmate
rial disagreement. r..
Harmony, in party and sectarian
bodies, is secured by a mutual
abandonment of the non-essentials.
This would always be easy if men
could readily agree as to what con-
stitutes the essentials. Mr.. Greeley,
on one of his sides, at least evidently
belongs to the broad church. A
which goes to the very
origin of the rights of man in gov
and this Of a practical
character, involving the political
liberties of eight or ten millions of
people, does not seem to him i'm
portant enough to become the
occasion Of disputes or divisions in
the party to which he belongs.

no necessary incompatibility be-
tween the views and purposes of

and no desire-at least no prepon-

The difference between the two
ends of the avenue, according to
Mr.. Greeley, are not great. The
President earnestly desires and
urges the restoration of the South
ern States to their former position
in the Union and in Congress
which Congress refuses and pre-
vents-a slight difference. The
President holds that those States

J. W. Bradlcy's Now Patent Duplex Elliptic
Cor double) Spring Skirt.


The invention consists Of Duplex (or two
Elliptic Pure Rvfrcd Steel Springs. ingeniou "
braided tightly and firmly together, edge q
edg making the toughest, most inAexiblc, eIas-
tic, and durable Spring ever used. They
seldom bend or break, like the single springs
and consequently preserve their perfect ard
beautiful shape more than twice a. long rs any
single spring skirt that ever has or can be
made.
The wonderful hexibil,ty and great comfort
and pleasure 10 any lady wearing the Duplex
Ell piic Skirt will bc experienced particularly
in all crowd dei assemblies, operas, carriages
ra lroad cars, church pews, arm chairs, for
promenade and house dress, as the skirt can be
folded when in uso to occupy small place as
easily and conveniently as q silk or muslin
dress.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort.
and great convenience of wearing the Dnnley
Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for single day will
new afterwards dispense with their use. For
children, Misses and young lldics they arc
superior to all others.
The hoops arc covered with two ply double
twisted thread md will wear twice as long ms
the single yarn covering which is used on all
Single Stecl Hoop Skirts. The three bottom
rods on every Skirt arc also double steel, and
twice or double covered to prevel t the covering
from wearing oif the rods when dragging down
stairs, stone steps, etc., etc., which they are
constantly subject to when in use.
All hre made of the new and elegant corded
tapes, and are the bos; quality ia every pert
giving to the aearer the most graceful and
perfect shape possible, and are unquestionably
tho lghtest, most durable, comfortable and
economical skirt ever made.

UsurpatiOns Of the House Of
Representatives.
ICOrrespondence of the On. Enquirer
WASHINGTON, January 10.

Representatives.
Correspondence of the Gin. Enquirer.]
WASHINGTON, January 10.
The political situation has not
varied in the least since the issue
was first made between the Presi-
dent and Congress. The President
stands firmly on the ground as
sumed in his message-there is no
reasonable doubt Of that-and the
destructives even wag their heads
and say they are uncertain about
the President, while the radical
papers here in Washington indulge
in the bitterest railing against what
they call the "fulsome adulation"
Of the Democrats. They have given
him up 4 reprobate, but are 10th to
acknowledge it every radical
speaker in either House still claim
ing him as their own.
The President preserves an omi-
nous silence, contenting himself
with transmitting such papers as
Congress asks for; while Congress
persistently clings to the Com
mittee on Reconstruction, tossing
into its misty depths all questions
calculated to produce a fair issue or
commit his astonishing body. g
The Senate was not notified of
the appointment Of the House
members of this great retarding
machine until Monday, January S,
and the committee held its first
meeting next day, and then only
resolved on secrecy.
Now they may delay indefinitely
the restoration of the Union by
simply holding no more meetings,
and nobody will be the wiser. In
the mean time all papers relating
to restoration are referred by the
House to this committee without
debate, and the Senate can do
nothing without the cooperation
of the House. On the contrary, it
would not be surprising if the
House should conclude to dismiss
the Senate altogether. 1t has
already made steps toward usurping
all the functions of the Executive
and judiciary. On the Sth it re-
solved that it was the sense of the
House that the military should not
be withdrawn from the seeding
States until Congress should have
declared their presence there nc
longer necessary. This resolution
was adopted: Yeas, "a; nays, 81
thus making move toward taking
command of the army. On the
same day resolution was intro
duced that the speedy trial of Jeff
erson Davis, and his execution aohen
found guilty, was imperatively de
manded, &c.; thus debating a yer
dict to the Judiciary and consequent
action to the Executive. The reso
! luton was not passed because i

Colonel O'Mahony has received a

All payment of commutation of
soldiers rations has ceased for the
present, in anticipation of Congress
securing to the heirs of soldiers to
whom such ralions were due, the
traster of their claims.
The Secretary of War has said
that whenever the habedS corpus

bodies of the alleged boat-burners
in st. Louis, now confined by mill
tary authority, he shall surrender
them to the civil authorities.
The Kentucky Legislature had
up for discussion yesterday the res
toration Of the writ of hd6eaS corpus

mended to the President the abol-
ishment of the Freedmen's Bureau

The Fenian Congress yesterday
selected a Council to take the place

posed. On the other side, President
Roberts has issued orders for the

vignette on the left side of the
marriage of Pocohontas on the back
of the bill.
The Freedmen's Bureau in Ala

A New York Herald letter says
no reduction in revenue taxes on
tobacco, whisky, cotton and pc
troleum is contemplated. The taxes
will probably be increased. The
design is to add to the burdens of

them.
