Her hull is perfectly sound. tight strong and well
built and her machinery is in splendid working

cabin, finely furnished with all the necessary con-
vehiences for the comfort of passengers.
I have selected the most skiIfull and expert

win recommend them favorably to the travelling

BILE to suppose that the Democracy,
who were SO lately and SO bitterly op-
posed to negro suffrage, have in a
moment become as earnestly in favor
Of it. The movement was undoubt-
edly inaugurated for the purpose of
defeating the Amendment, opening
up anew the question of reconstrue-
ten, and thus pave the way for the
restoration of the rebel States with
out any terms or conditions whatso-
ever. This is the secret spring ac-
Iuating the movement. And if this
be so, it is the true policy of the
Union party 10 adhere steadfastly to
the Amendment, and insist upon its
being received and accepted as a
final settlement of this whole ques-
ton of reconstruction. By any
other line of policy, the party will
abandon the vantage ground it now
occupies, and the whole subject will
again become involved in uncertain
ty and perplexity.

Congress got fairly to work last
week. The usual amount of resolu-

anxious to enlighten the country
with their individual political theo-
ries and opinions. Sumner gave ne
ticc of joint resolution asserting
the jurisdiction of Congress over the
whole subject Of reconstruction
The House passed bill repeating
the law granting to the President
authority to pardon rebels. The
Senate has not vet acted upon the
bill. The House revived the joint
committee on reconstruction, with
Thad. Stevens as Chairman. A res
olutien was also passed instructing
the committee on territories to con.
slider the expediency Of reporting a
bill to establish territorial Govern
ments IN the States lately in rebel

w ASHINGTON, Decemhcr D.
The only theme of interest in Con
gress to-day was the debate in the
House on the regulation of the ses-
sions of Congress. There seemed to
be a general agreement on the Re
publican side of the chamber, that
the Fortieth Congress ought to meet
on the 5th of next March, but there
was much difference of opinion as to
when the other sessions should be-
gin. Some serious local difficulties
were found in the way of meeting in
March, but it was agreed that these
might be overcome. 1t was under
stood that there shall be consulta-
ton before Monday among Congress
men from the States whose elections
do not occur prior to the 1st of
March, to see if any agreement can
be reached as to the details of the
bill.
During the debate in the House
this afternoon on Gen. Sohenck's
bill changing the time of the meeting
of Congress, considerable amuse-
ment was caused by the remark of
Mr.. LIE Blond, of Ohio, who declared
that the Democratic party had never
taken up the President, and since the
elections could see no reason for so
doing. "We have no disposition to
shoulder him." said he, "to do that
would destroy any party in the coun-
try"

The House had a two hours
session to-day, most of which was
occupied by Mr.. Williams, of Pitts
burgh, in a speech on bill reported
by him from the Judiciary Commit
tee lastsession, to regulate the tenure
of office. He claimed that Congress
could regulate the entire question of
removals and appointments, and that
by the legislation provided by his
bill no removals could be made with
out the consent of the Senate. His
remarks, toward the close, were Sc
we're on the President.
A number OF amendments were of
fered to perfect the bill, and it was
then tponed until tomorrow
The indications are that it will pass
by very large majority.
