THR EMPEROR OF RussIAs reilly TO
CoSeRKss.-The following letter from
the Emperor of Russia to President
Johnson, in reply to the resolution Of
Congress congratulating him on his es-
cape from assassination, was read inthe
House of Representatives on Monday
last:
"Sr. PETERSBURG, 18th Aug, 1866.
have received from the hands of Mr..
Fox the resolution of the Congress OF
the United States of America on the &C.
casion of the providential grace OF which
/ have been the object. 1t Is not alone
personal. IL attests once more the SEN
ments that bind the American nation to
that of Russia. The two people have
no injuries to remember. Proofs of mu-
tual benevolence are added. The cor
dial relations are always as conducive
to their interests as to the good of civil
lization and humanity, and answer the
designs of Divine Providence, whose
will is peace and concord among all ma
tions. 1t gives me lively pleasure to
see these ties constantly strengthened
more and more. l have impaired my
sentiments to Mr.. Fox. pray you to
be my interpreter TO Congress and the
American people whom it represents.
Tell them how much l appreciate, and
with me the whole of Russia, the testi-
monies of friendship they have given
me, and how happy 1 will be to see the
American nation grow in strength and
prosperity by the universal and constant
practice of the civilities that distin-
guish it.
Accept at the same time the assurance
of the high consideration with which /
am your good friend,

THE CONGRESSIONAL PoLICY.-The Re-
publican members Of Congress bave
unanimously agreed upon the following
measures to be passed previous to the
adjournment of the present session:
Frst-A bill providing that no name
be placed on the roll of the next Con-
gress except from States entitled to
representation by law.
Second-A bill providing that no elect
oral votes for President be counted ex-
eept from States represented in Congress
at the time Of the election.
TAsrd-To provide for three sessions of
each Congress instead of two, the first to
meet on the 4th of March, the second on
the LIST of January next, and the third
on the LIST of October following.
Fowth-The appointment of COM
mittee of three to investigate the New
Orleans massacre.
Ffth-To investigate the release of
three South Carolina murderers of Union
soldiers from Maine, convicted and sem
fenced to death, and afterwards to i'm
prisonment.
Ssrth--To secure impartial suffrage in
the District of Columbia.
All of these measures, we believe, have
already been introduced in and carried
through the House of Representatives,
and the bill securing suffrage in the
District of Columbia, has passed both
houses.

THE ROBBERY OF CALEB LYoN:-Caleb
Lyon, late Governor Of Idaho, who it
will be remembered appeared in Wash
ington a few days ago and alleged that
he had been robbed of a money belt con-
tanning SAT 900, which he had carelessly
removed from his person and placed I'M
der his head in sleeping car, is thus
alluded to in the Burlington Free Press ::
This Mr.. Caleb Lyon, formerly of
Lyonsdale, N. Y, is gentleman of very
lively Imagination. He was a member
of the Thirty-third Congress, and the
biographical sketch of him in Lanman's
Dictionary of Congress, furnished, as we
have understood from very good authori-
ty, By Mr.. Lyon himself, states that he was
a graduate Of the University of Vermont
in 1841, and that the degree of LII. D.
was subsequently conferred on him by
the University Of Vermont Both OF
these statements are decisions. Mr. Lyon
never graduated at the University OF
Vermont, and never received any hon.
orary degree from it. The same idiosyn-
Grassy which led Mr.. Lyon to imagine
himself a graduate and LII. D., may
possibly have led him to imagine him
self the victim Of a robbery. At any
rate, it was very careless in him to take
his money belt from round his person
and put it under his head In sleeping
car.

CeNaREss.--In the United States Sem
ate on Monday, the House resolution re-
hating to proposed monument to Gen.
Scott was reported favorably. The
committee on military affairs were dis
charged from further consideration of
the bill to increase the military estab-
hshment. The bill to repeal portion
Of the Confscation Act underwent de-
bate without action. The bill to admit
Nebraska was briefly considered. Tri-
butes were paid to the memory of Mr..
Wright of New Jersey, and the Senate
afterwards adjourned. In the House, a
resolution was adopted pledging support
10 the Elk ecutive against foreign efforts
10 destroy constitutional liberty on this
continent, and commencing the course
pursued with regard to Mexico. Sew
eral resolu tions relating to national
banks and the currency were offered,
but were rejected. A bill was passed
prohibiting the payment of damages for
property occupied for military purposes,
except to the loyal men of Tennessee. A
pint res olution prohibiting the further
issue of agricultural scrip to States
lately in rebellion was passed. A reso-
htion recommending the offer of the
friendly offices of the government in
restoring peace In South America was
passed.

President Lincoln's Memory.

(, It win be remembered that shortly
after Mr.. Lincoln's death 1t was proposed
BY Mr.. Victor Mangin, editor.in-chief of
the Phsre de la Loire, the most infiuen-
Nal Liberal journal OF France, published
ut Nantes, to open ten-cent subscrip-
tion, with view of enabling the work.
ing classes to contribute their mite for the
purchase of a gold medal to be present.
ed to Mrs. Lincoln, in testimony of the
regard of the French people for Den'afei-
yStsw d. travail, as Mr.. Mangin fifty calls
our late President. Notwithstanding
the studied silence on the subject by the
Impe realistic and Conservative press Of
Paris, the appeal of Mr.. Mangin found
An echo In the hearts of the people of
Nantes, Lyons and other towns, and up
ward of forty thousand Frenchmen and
Prenchwomen eo-operated in the pur-
chase of the medal. The question then
arose where to have it struck. The En-
peror gave stringent orders to the
French mint to decline having anything
TO do with it. His fear Of Republican
ism is so great that he trembled lest in
permitting the Lincoln medal to be struck
in his dominions, he might strike blow
against his throne.
The mint of Geneva, Switzerland, was
next applied to, and there the medal was
struck, so that, as Mr.. Victor Mangin
significantly remarks, "the medal has
become what it is in land Of the Free"
Mr.. Mangin hoped that the medal
would be taken to this country and de-
nvered to Mrs. Lincoln by some Of the
conspicuous champions of those ideas
which Mr.. Lincoln so gloriously vindi-
Gated in his life and in his death but
this could not be, and it thus had to be
handed over to the person who happens
10 be the official representative Of the
United States in France.
But, however much this change in the
original programme of the projectors of
this testimonial may detract from the
poetical completeness of the ceremony,
it can not in anyway affect its moral
beauty, which consists mainly in this,
that those poor laboring masses of
France, who groan under the oppression
Of capital and monopolies, have eked
out small pittance from these scanty
means in order to do honor to the men,
cry of one wholly annihilating the most
atrocious of all monopolies-that of cot
ton and slave dealers-has paved the
way for the overthrow of other grinding
Monopolies. New hopes have thus been
invoked in the hearts of myriads Of men,
women and children who continue in
every part of the world to be still the vic
tims of innumerable wrongs and oppres-
sion practiced upon them by the more
rich and more influential and powerful OF
their beings. From this point OF
view the Offering of these underpaid and
sverworked French laborers to the wild
sw of the Emancipation Of Labor" de-
hives humanitarian Importance which
cannot fail to invest it with an abiding
interest.

NATIONAL BANKs.-The Secretary of
the Treasury, in reply to direction of
the Senate, has furnished letter from
the Controller of the Currency, to the
effect that the National Banks comply
strictly with the law requiring them to
make quarterly exhibits of their condi-
tion. The Controller suggests that the
managers of the Clearing Houses should
be required to report weekly all banks
that are deficient in their reserve of
lawful money, and that the returns
should be made monthly instead of quar-
terly. We believe that the change would
be benefit.
