A recent London letter relates the follow
ing gossip concerning the Geological gardens
and their occupants, showing the danger to
which the least carelessness may expose:
'Not long ago young man too tipsey to
be cautious was poking up with stick the
co5ra di capel0 in one of the cages in the ser
pent room at the Geological gardens the ser
pent darted and touched the man. who died
in exactly ten minutes. The wound was on
the nose, and was such as might have been
with the touch of needle. The snake was
killed-why know not-and Mr.. Frank Buck
land, the naturalist, who had charge of the
gardens, was dissecting its body. While
doing so he felt strange sensation coming
over him and he went out of doors and talked
to workman near by, asking him to drag
him to chemist shop, and beat him to death
rather than let him fall to sleep. They did
pummel him most mercilessly, and dragged
him to an apothecary shop, where he gasped
out "Ammoniaw They piled him with am
monia and water and he recovered. He does
not know how the poison was communicated,
but thinks he might have cleaned a finger
nail with knife he had used in dissection
1t is a curious problem for optimists to con-
slider why such a magazine of destruction as
| the cobra exists Is it sewer to drain off the
poison of whole tribe of other animals, who
are thereby rendered harmless2 1t is the
favorite snake with the eastern snakecharmers.

Congressional Summary.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-SENATE-M
Sumner rose to question of privilege. and
moved to amend the journal by striking out
the vote of Mr.. Stockton on the question of
his seat AS the motion was of some impor-
lance, he said, he had reduced it to writing.
Mr.. Salisbury made point of order that
the resolution cannot be entertained, as the
journal was correct.
The Chair.-The resolution must first be
read before the point or order can be de-
cided.
The Secretary then read the motion of
Mr. Sumner, as follows:
g. Resolced, That the journal of Friday be
amended by striking out the vote of Mr.
Stockton on the question of his seat in the
Senate
The chair decided that the resolution was
in order whereupon Mr.. Sumner made a
speech in advocacy of the proposition. and
quoted from ancient and modern authorities
to sustain his position that Mr. Stockton
could not act as judge and party in his own
case.
Mr.. johnson replied, contending that Mr.
Stockton, in voting, represented the State of
New Jersey and not himself and that being
a member of the Senate there was nothing to
prevent him from voting.
Mr.. Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, said that in the consideration of
a right to seat of the Senator from New
Jersey he had regarded it, and the committee
to which it was referred, had regarded it as
a judicial question. 1t was a question of law
whether the Senator from New Jersey was
entitled to his seat or not. In the opinion of
the Committee he was entitled to it and that
he was and still is, in his opinion
The Senate refused by vote of 10 to % to
refer the matter again to- the Judiciary Com
mittee. The question is still pending.
HoUsE-The House took up the resolu-
tons offered by Mr. Rogers of New Jersey,
last Monday, declaring against the repudia-
ton of the Federal debt and declaring in ia
vor of equal taxation. Mr. Rogers advocat
ed his resolutions in speech which consum-
ed the morning hour.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Supreme
| Court has decided that shares in the Ma
tional Banks are taxable by State authority.
There is large crowd present at the Sen
ate to-day expecting a veto of the Civil
Rights Bill, but it will not be sent in until
tomorrow, or perhaps Wednesday.
Senator Foot still lies in very critical
condition.

The Sentinel, with its usual utter disregard
of truth, states that only "onesafH etaxit has
been required to close the case against North
Carolina and shut the doors of representa-
ton against million of people, and chat the
affidavit of sojourner from one of the Eas-
tern States" Now the truth is, four mem
bers of the reconstruction committee, be-
sides Mr.. Fessenden, have declared In their
places, that every witness rendered bys Gov.
Graham and other claimants has been exam
ined and Mr. Fessenden has stated that the
testimony as to this State has not been closed.
The Sentinel knows this to be so, yet CON
ceals the fact, and makes stat ement directly
to the contrary. The object of this is appa-
rent. 1t is to infame the people against the
Congress, and to have them ready for any
CONFUSION that may follow.
If the door is closed against NorthsC Caro-
lima, it has been done by the Sentinel and its
faction. Congress is more radical than the
President, and how can the Sentinel expect
the State to be admitted when it has noteyen
complied with the Presidents plan
It is to be regretted that Gov. Gresham
selected as his spokesman in the Senate, Mr..
Davis, of Kentucky, who is the author OF
the proposition to established aeao Sealte,
composed of the Democratic and the South
ern Senators. This, of itself would have
been sufficient to have prejudiced Gov. Ora
hams cain to such an extent as to exclude
him from his seat. 1t was violent, rey6lu

AREA OF THE UNITED STATEs.-Hon
Mr. Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, in
recent letter to the Rev. J. G. Fletcher, replied
to Il question concerning the territorial ex-
tent of this country, in order to afford the
latter certain data for comparing the area of
Brazil with that of the United States The
following is the result first in acres:
Total area of the public lands of Acres.
the States and Territories, 1,400,549,O33
Total area of those States where
there are no public lands, 476, SAG, $50
Area of Indian Territory, A, 154, 240
Area of District of Columbia, 3S,4O0
Grand total of the area of the
United Suites in acres, 1891 ,28e, e33
Or, three miyions t1co thousand o,oA thirteen
squire miles.
This does not include the area of the great
lakes just within and forming portion OF
our Northern boundary; neither does it in
clude the marine league on the coast.
Brazil, in 1945, had an area Of 1904, 45O
square miles but it is estimated that since
the settlement of her boundary lines with
several of the adjacent countries, her area has
increased to 100000 square miles. Euro
p Russia has an area of 2, 142 504 square
mics, and all the other countries of Europe
have total Of ,6s7, 626 square miles.

The President and the Test Oath

| The most encouraging declaration contained
| in the Presidents speech Of the 22d instant
wac his clear and distinct announcement OF
the fact that he regarded men Of the SUMNER
and STEVENS stripe as enemies TO the Consti-
tuition and laws, thus placing wide gulf
between himself and all the tribe Of negro
advocates North and South. The next in
importance was the avowal that he means by
loyalty" not what certain interested par
ties would have Us believe, but merely an
acknowledgment Of allegiance to the Govern
ment and willingness to take the oath to
support the Constitution. Inasmuch as his
opinion on this point has repeatedly been
represented to be just the reverse Of what he
himself says it is, we republish his language.
1t is as follows:
"Then, I say, let us admit into the councils
of the nation those who are unmistakably and
unequiYocally loyal; those men who acknow-
ledge their allegiance to the Government and
swear to support the Constitution. 1t is all
embraced in that The ampliication of an
oath makes no difference if man is not loyal (;
but you may adopt whatever test oath yon
please, to prove their loyalty"
This language is plain enough. He knows
that many man can honestly take the oath to
support the Constitution hereafter, who can
not swear that he never voluntarily aided or
assisted the cause of the Confederacy, and that
such mans loyalty is more to be relied upon
than the noisy loyalty of those who are
willing to take an oath with any sort of
"amplifcation," and who claim to have gone
through the war with their attachment to the
Union unabated, and without once expert
encing in their hearts q feeling of sympathy
with the cause in which their dearest friends
and nearest relatives were engaged.

Mr.. Johusou'S Backbone,

Since the only question concerning the sue
cess of the Presidents policy is as to whether
ne will falter or not, every Southern man likes
to be assured of Mr.. JoHSsoY's firmness. Upon
this point, Hon. SHERRARD CLEMENS, in recent
speech at Wheeling, bears the following testi-
mony
81 know Andrew Johnson we'll Some years
ago, in Washington city, while he was mem
ber of the Senate and l of the House, we
boarded together, roomed together, slept to-
gether, and were intimately and closely ac-
quainted. l know him 10 be a man of the
people, man of iron nerve, and he has back
bone made of steel" Laughter and applause. ]
