just as we Expected.

We are gratihed to observe by the Herald
Of this morning, that our prediction as to the
course of Mr.. DAvIs's counsel has been
verified. 1t is stated by the Washington
correspondent of that paper, that Mr.. BRADY
swill insist upon an immediate trial, or upon
the release of his distinguished client upon
BAIL" 1t is believed, says this writer that
"ten million dollars bail can be raised at the
North"
The aspect of the case is one which must
embarrass those who have desired to make
Mr.. DAVIS the means of gratifying their per-
sonal bitterness, or as the instrument for the
accumulation of political capital
We feel certain that the great lawyers who
will appear for the defence, will be equal to
the "high argument" and we trust soon to
see substantial link of. reconciliation forged
in the freedom of that man, who in his own
person, represents the people of the South.

Congressional.


SENATE.-The Senate was not in session
on the 26th inst.
HoUsE.-The Senate amendment to the
House bill relating to passports was concur
red in and is now law. The Senate bill
granting lands for railroads and telegraph
line from Central Pacific Railroad, in Califor-
MIA to Portland, Oregon, was referred to APP
priation committee. A bill was introduced
proposing to exempt the hundred dollars We
teran bounty from the computation of what
is to be deducted under tho bill to equalize
bounties.
A resolution was adopted requiring the
Secretary of the Interior to furnish certain
information relative to applications for reis-
sue of. the Dundas patent for cultivators.
The consideration of the tax bill was resumed.
A new paragraph was reported from the Com
mittee on ways and means, amending the
103d section, relative to tax on gas receipts,
on railroad, canal steamboat, aud stage com
panies-imposing tax Of two aud half per
cent. Vessels carrying passengers between
the United States and foreign ports being ex-
.emptsd. 'HlA
tax of three per cent. on receipts of all
ferries, bridges, and toll roads, except when
the gross annual receipts do not exceed 81 900.
or not more than sufficient for repairs. The
amendment was then adopted The amend
ment to exempt horse railroads in cities not
exceeding 100000 population, was rejected.
The word alcohol was stricken out from the
sentence which prohibited stills to be used
where lager beer, &C., are manufactured. The
paragraph repeating the section of the exist
ing law was amended, so as to make it take
effect on the LIST September, 1866.
The salaries are-Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, $4,000; Deputy Commissioner, S.
900; Cashier, $4,000; two Deputies, So, 900;
Solicitor, $4,000; seven heads of divisions,
$500. The salary of the special commits
sioner was raised from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. Stevens moved an amendment taking
away from the Secretary of the Treasury the
authority to appoint a special commissioner,
giving this power to Congress. He was OPP
posed to giving patronage to the Secretary OF
the Treasury where it could be avoided, as
that official had said he would appoint no ona
to office who did not sustain the Presidents
policy. He characterised this as a malfeas-
ance in office. He said it is time we speak
abroad and let our friends abroad know they
are in no danger, and that they shall not be
sacrificed because they stand by Congress.
Mr.. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, was referred
to as an apostate Senator who had outraged
his party and his country. There being no
quorum present, and ascertaining there was
majority against him, Stevens withdrew his
amendment
Several other amendments were offered and
withdrawn.
The special commissioners salary having
been put back to its first figure of $4,000, the
House adjourned. ,..-ss4

Stones Instead of Ora IS.

The fury with which bull dances round
before red bandana is nothing when com
pared with the excitement of that Congress
sional Toro STEVENS, at the audacous beha-
vior of the Secretary of the Treasury, who
has announced that he "cannot appoint, and
will not appoint any man, who does not sup
port the policy of the President"
Mr.. McCULLocH has "distintly informed
a member of the House" of this very reasona-
BILE determination, and this is the red flag
which 50 infuriates our short horned Parlia-
mentarian. He bellows accordingly, and
threatens to toss the majority of the Cabinet
in the air. His fury is further increased, by
the fact that he has ascertained that "four
of the Presidents subordinates have mads the
same declaration"
The war has fairly opened The body
guard of the Executive might now have the
same principle applied, and the Cabinet be
made unit on the policy to be pursued in
the future.
We shall watch its progress with curious
eyes, and expect to behold some very remark
able changes of opinion among those whose
nekcs may be given to the axe, which has been
suspended for SO long time, with such re-
markable moderation and forbearance.
A good many gentlemen, who have been
up official apple trees, will have to come
down, now that the ''four subordinates of the
President" have substituted stones for grass
The argument is good one.

Very Significant.

The Washington Chronicle, which is among
papers very much what old BRowLow is
among men, contains in its issue of Monday
an extract from the Bellefonte Waterman pub
lished in Centre County, Pennsylvania, which
is significant, not only from its own terms, but
from the fury with which it is denounced by
the Red Cap organ, in whose columns we
find it. .A
The article from the Ratchman is headed
" AN ITEM FOR WHITE MEN," and the state
ments which follow are well calculated to ar
rest the attention of the most thoughtless of
the Northern masses. 1t shows that the sum
of $11 ,543. 455 has been expended in the cost
ly service of the Freedmans Bureau, and calls
upon the taxpayers of the North to consider
the vastness of the appropriation. 1t con-
cludes by an appeal to tax-paying white
men" to effect change in this expensive sys-
tenn.
The Chronicle bowls out dismally over this
bold article, which is addressed to the pocket
sense of the people, and contents itself with
vulgar denunciaton, instead Of argument in
reply. The Uatchmdn makes up its bill of
costs item by item; and nothing was easier
than the task of disproving the account had
it been falsely stated.
The fact is, however, that the records sus-
copiousness of abuse We should like for the
Chronicle to enjoy the perusl of brief arti-
Gle now at our elbow from The Dover IN. H.
Gazette, which runs as follows =
CARE OF THE FREEDMEN.-Thereis a vast
deal of f1ummery about this excessive anxiety
for the freedmen. Reports from North Caro-
lima show up its thorough hypocrisy. In
that State, some of the Bureau Agents. and
ministers from New England at that, have
been getting negroes convicted and condemn
ed before the one-man Bureau Courts, and
had them work out their fines and condem-
nations on the plantations which they were
themselves interested in. Here is philanthro-
Ply with vengeance. The poor blacks are
thus to suffer from being worked to death
for hypocritical phianthropists to make for
tunes off Of and be used by politicians as
so much mental capital to push their ambitious
interests with. Between the two, they Will
be likely to go to the wall.
We have here opinions from Pennsylvania
and New Hampshire, which show that the
prohigate administration of this Bureau is
beginning to receive proper attention from
che hands of the press, and that the true issue
is rapidly Presenting itse1r ~ e- public
mind. That issue is very plain and as to
the vote upon it, there can be little doubt
1t is whether or no the discoveries of the
ante Columbian era gave this continent the
right name when they called it the "Whte
Mans Land"
The Chronicle sees that this issue has to be
met, and in anticipation of defeat, goes off
into denunciatory Mysteries.

A motion to invite the "Confederateo AS

A motion to invite the "Confederatep AS
sembly to join the Union was tabled.
The resolutions on the state of the country
are said to be radical They utter no word
against the President, but rejoice at the con-
tinuous functions of the Freedmen's Bureau.
They claim that negro suffrage if not univer-
sal, ought to be impartial. They believe that
the basis of representation in Congress
should be so changed, as to meet the oondi-
ton of things under the abolition of slavery,
and that no method of reconstruction should
be adopted, that does not efectually protec
all loyal persons in the Southern States
The whole series of resolutions was passed
unanimously.
A most destructive fire has occurred at
Oil City, Pa, half of the business portion of
the city having been consumed The loss is
estimated at one million dollars, insured only
for 100000. Over one hundred and seven
ty five families have been rendered houseless
by the confagration.
The eastern end of the old Harrisburg, Pa,
bridge has been destroyed by fire. It cost
1874 ,OO0-and cannot now be rebuilt under
a cost of $4,000 owing to the increased cost
of labor and material. ~t,. sr
