Our MECHANICS Institute We need not
assure the readers of the Apvoc.rE it is a
qualification to announce Ii fteF moL.hs
of effort and anxiety, there a. very prospect
of re-org anizing live Mechanics Institute
in thus city. AT preliminary meeting,
held last Thursday evening, of which a
full account is given in another column, a
temporary organization was effected, and a
committee appointed to wait on the officers
Of the old institute, and ascertain upon
what terms the charter Of that body could
be transferred to the new organization. We
. are gratitied to announce that the interview
was highly satisfactory, and that there il
every prospect, with the exercise Of little
patience and prudence, possession may
sc5n be obtained Of the coveted treasure.
Everything now depends cfon the alacri-
" and determination evinced by the me-
chanics themselves. The charter, with its
immense privileges, may be obtained if Che
proper steps are Immediately taken. The
officers of the old institute have signifed
their willingness to surrender it, on these
conditions, and that is certainly all thai
could be expected. 81
1t may not be generally known to oui
readers, that q legacy of $4,000 has
been willed by an old and esteemed citizen
Of Chicago, as an endowment fund, and

that in all human probability the time is
not far distant when this princely sum may
be made available for tl,e purpose for which
it is intended. There are also several other
legscies of a smaller amount bus which
combined will present an aggregate more
than sufficient to complete an Institute of
which the mechanics of Chicago will have
every reason to feel proud.
Under these circumstances it has been
deemed advisable to call special meeting
this evening, at Bryant 4 STATIONS Col

port Of the conference committee. Work

To TRADES UHoNs.-At recent meeting
Of the Trades Assembly committee wa:
appointed to visit all labor organizations
which are unrepresented in that body, and
request the election of delegates forthwith.
There is certainly no reason why any trade
should stand aloof from or refuse to CO.
operate with their sister societies. In some
instances we believe an imaginary grievance
exists, bat there is too much reason to be-
lieye that the thought is father to the wish,
and that a purely selfish or personal motive
lies at the root Of all opposition. As that
committee have been unable to fulfill their
engagements, il is their intention 10 do SO
next week, when they viii be happy to NEE,
with their fellow-laborers and explain to
them ct length the objects and advantages
derived from properly organized Trades
Assembly, and help remove any obstacl,
which may unhaPpily exist between the
various societies

LIBERALISM IN ENGLAND.

The New Year begins cheerfully for the cause
of the Liberals in England. The death of Pal
merston and the accession of Lord Russell seem
to have been providential. PalmerSton was the
strongest enemy of freedom, Russell is its weak
est ally. The present Premier is good man to
keep in front until the columns are perfectly
organized. He is highly respectable and has
good record, but is unsympathetic-away from
the heart of the nation-and despised abroad.
Palmerston represented England's strength,
Russell represents its dogmatism. There are
three nations that have grown beyond the fear
of Englsnd's frowns-France, Russia and tho
United States. So if the Premier becomes Ill
tempered, be must make an example OF Greece
or Ireland. We have no hopes in his Ministry
but look beyond it to the great Liberal phalanx
as it sits compact, enthusiastic, expectant, deh-
ant, below the gangway of the House oil Com
mons. What that party will do we do not
know; but its time has come-"the time, says
great London journal, "for which it worked
and waited. The means of victory are in Its
hands" We look for salutary reforms. Re-
duce the vital power Of the aristocracy. Cut
down the pensions of beggarly German princes
and princesses and make them go and work for
their living. Take about one-half ofthe civil list,
which the Queen and her family have been
boarding away to enrich the house of Coburg,
and do good to the poor. DO real and earnest
Justice to Ireland. Prevent the buccaneerine
expeditions to the East Indies. Develop 6
really national education, and drive from the
statute-books the barbarous tests and oath;
which remain as sad relics of the middle ages
Keep the peace with foreign nations, and cut
down the expenses of the Home Government
The army is too large; there are too many ship'
in the navy. Relieve labor from the oppressive
taxes which are levied to support an ar.stocracy
Abolish capital punishment. Demand an cleo
toral reform by which the workingmen OF En-
gland may send workingmen to sit among he
Maesty's faithful Commons, and not the young
sons of noblemen. Then crown all with tn
ballot.
Friends in England we have shown yo'
what mankind can do struggling with SLAYER.
through years Of desola.ing war. Show
what manhood can peacefully do to overthrow
the aristocracy and privilege that claim bias
phemous origin from the grace of God.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1866-01-30

Mr.. Wilson's righteous bill to stop the swind-
ling of soldiers by claim agents, and limiting
the fees for collection of soldiers claims to $40,
passed the Senate yesterday by the emphatic
vote of 80 Yeas to Nays. This restriction is
analogous to that which limits the fees of pen
sion agents, andis not less necessary. We trust
the immense lobby influence concentrating
against it at Washington will not prove stronger
with the House than with the Senate. For the
sake of thousands and thousands of soldiers who
otherwise will be Aeeced and plundered as their
comrades have hitherto been, this bill ought
speedily 20 become law.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1866-01-30

| In the Senate, yesterday, memorial from
the ST. Paul Board of Trade was presented
asking for the improvement Of the Upper Mis-
sissippi and a treaty for the freedom of the
Weland Canal, with joint commission on
Reciprocity. Mr.. Yates introduced bill to
prohibit any distinction Of color by State laws,
and to protect all citizens, regardless of rsce,
color or condition, in tho enjoyment of all their
civil and political rights, including the right Of
suffrage; which was referred to the Reconstruc-
ton Committee. Bills were introduced to re-
organize the Judiciary Of the United States; to
increase the number Of cadets at West Point
and regulate their admission, and to pro-
mote military education BY detailing army
officers for colleges of $50 students.
A remonstrance was presented against
renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty, and
q petition from Pennsylvania for Constitution
al Amendment against color distinctions. A
bill was reported to grant 100000 acres of
public land for public schools in the District of
Columbia. A joint resolution TO consider the
eIpediency Of an appropriation for improving
the public grounds in Washington was passed.
The bill to restrict to $40 fees for collecting
claims Of soldiers, with an amendment except
ing cases where the auditing officers shall Ger.
tify that the services are worth more. was
passed. A resolution Of thanks to Admiral Far.
ragut, his officers and men, for gallant conduct
in Mobile Bay, was introduced and referred. A
resolution to grant certain lands in Michigan
for railroad purposes was passed. Mr.. Trum.
bull called up his bill to protect citizens in the
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1866-01-30

enjoyment of civil rights, and offered an amend
ment declaring persons Of African descent, born
here, citizens. The bill was debated By MesSrs.
Trumbull, Van Wrinkle, Salisbury, and How
ard, and the Senate, after an executive session,
adjourned.
In the House, resolutions were adopted COM
mending the President for rejecting present,
and disappearing of presents in general; to in
quire into the expedency of refusing the Hall Of
the House to all applicants, and instructing the
Committee on the District Of Columbia to report
a bill excluding Rebels from the elective fran
chise. A resolution demanding the speedy
trial of jeff Davis, and if found guilty, bis
execution, was introduced and laid over.
Bills were introduced to exempt the
Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind from tax
alton, and to transfer cases where non-resdents
are parties from the State to United States
Courts A bill was reported appropriating
50, 500 for sufferers by the arsenal explosion in
the District. The House took a recess in order
to receive Gen. Sherman on the floor, after
which the pending Constitutional Amendment
was taken up and debated by Messrs Raymond,
Julian, johnson, and Others. The previous
question was ordered on recommitting the reso-
luton, and the House adjourned.
