An Important Bill.

A VERY important bill passed the House OF
Representatives yesterday. 1t relates to the
Territories OF the United States, and pro-
hibits their legislative assemblies from passing
special acts conferring corporate powers, but
authorizes them to pass general laws for the
purpose. 1t declares null and void all special
charters heretofore granted by any OF the
legislative assemblies. The sixth section pro-
vides that no person appointed by the Presi
dent to any office in the Territories. shall re-
ceive compensation until he shall have entered
on the discharge of his official duties within
the Territory, and no officer shall be paid for
the time he may be absent from the Territory
without authority from the President. 1t
prohibits legislative assemblies from granting
divorces, but leaves that authority with the
Courts of the United States in the Terri
tories. The ninth section is as follows:-
And be it further enacted, That within the
Territories aforesaid there shall be no denial of
the elective franchise to citizens OF the United
States because of race or color, and all persons
shall be equal before the law; and all acts or
parts of acts, either OF Congress or OF the leeis
latives assemblies Of the Territories afor&aid,
inconsistent with the provisions of this aCt,Y are
hereby declared null and void.
The tenth section entities q Territorial
Secretary, who performs the duties of acting
Governor in the absence of the Governor,
to receive pay equal to the Governors salary.
An Intellectual effort was made to strike out
the ninth section, and the bill PISSED by vote
of 70 to 43.
This bill lays the axe at the root of class
of abuses that have been rife in all of our
Territories.

Nv. The creation of a sinking fund to the
amount of one per cent annually OF the aggre-
gate loan, Ieigiously put aside every year to
cancel the debt when II natures.
V. The reduction of interest to five Ger cent
A financial measure embodying these points
will be wise and timely. The country yearns
lori 1t. We shall be on our way tn specie pay
ments. The present ruinous rates of interest,
which infa Q currency, iniure trade, depress
business, and conduce to al sorts OF speculation,
will be abandoned. The world win see that we
mean to pay our debt, and that it is part of the
American system to make its obligations types of
eternity. We shall not bequeath to our grand
children burden which we and our children can
remove. The fear that i've per cent. loan will
be unpopular and impossible is absurd. Five
per cent from the Government Is as good as six
per cent from bankers. The FIVE per cent. Ten.
iorties are worth as much now as the Seven
thirnes were six months ago, while Seven.thir-
ties in the meantime are soaring beyond par.
II we could negotiate nearly two hundred
millions of five per cent. loan in war times,
with ten years. option Of redemption, there Is
no reason whv we cannot do so now. The
sooner Congress gets to work at the bill the
better,

The Loan Bin as Reported.

SENATOR SHERMAN has reported the "Con-
solidated Bond" bill as drafted by Mr.. Nc
CULLoCH, with the trivial amendment that
the sum allowed tor putting the bill in opera
tiun shall be one instead of two per cent.
This reduces the amount under the control
of the Secretary from over forty millions to
half that amount. We doubt if such sum
will prove sufficient, as the Secretary of the
Treasury is best qualified to know what is
needed, and he inserted two per cent. If,
however, he desires it, we doubt not that
Congress will cheerfully yield all that is de-
sired. The New York Tribune thus forcibly
puts the case in favor of the bill
The Committees amendment Is not important
We are glad that the general principles of the
bill are not affected. With us it is not so much
whether one or two per cent is set aside TO pay
expenses, so we have loan arranged that
the people will take H., and the national debt
be lessened. The points which we wish to i'm
press upon Congress are these, in brief:--
l. A loan of thirty or forty years, in which all
minor loans will be embraced.
III. A loan that shall not exceed in amount
fbe aggregate Indebtedness of the country as no "
represented in the various forms OF legal-tenders
and interestbearng securities.
ILL., Freedom from taxatlon. me reduction
of interest from 6 to per cent. Will more than

GEOLOGICAL PHEMOhENoN. geological phe-
nomenon is noticed in the Isle OF Wight con-
slsting of layer OF pebbles, each about the
size and color OF horse-bean, which has been
gradually moving eastward along the south.
western shore of the island. The layer has now
reached Ventnor. A few years since no such
pebbles were found on that coast. They pro-
badly originated on the coast of Dorset. They
are, like all gravel, broken and water.wor

under the sea, and driven by some unusual dis
turbance from the Dorset shores, past the
Hampshire coast, on to the Isle OF Wight beach.

since he brought here. My most reab eVi.

seen HIM before since his imprisonment.
The statements Of all such persons nave been uni

much longer imprisonment. Slowly, but surely, he
has been breaking down. He cannot walk but
short distance now without stopping to take rest.
Recently his appetite has quite selslblY failed. his
preternaturally pale and emaclated appearance and
slow, totterlng walk, show clearly one greatly, If
not irTevocably impaired in health. At length the

announced TO commence il three weeks time, and
the change and excitement in consequence of it may

granting HIM greatly increased privileges over those

A NOVEL FINANCIAL SCHEME.-The London
Spectator notices the formation OF a company
called the Cash Payment Association" IN
between cash and credit prices. Every person
who pays ten shillings year to the association
receives a list of shops at which, for ready
money, he may obtain goods from seven TO
twenty-five per cent. cheaper than he otherwise
would. The tradesmen give this pledge to the
association, being themselves repaid by the
additional customers sent them.

high tone of voice, but was unable to con-
tinue long at that pitch, and before he had
finished he was hardly audible. Some
times, to emphasize a certain phrase, he
would raise his eyes from the paper, and
nod his head to the words; but invariably
when he did so, he lost his place, and had
to finger about for his Eyeglasses to help
him in finding it again.
An aifectionate kiss, which the Queen
impressed upon the lips of her daughter
in-law, on rising to leave, was so sweetly
given, was such Il bit of real nature, that
few looked on unmoved. The kiss to the
Prince seemed unexpected by him. He
laughed, and appeared to tell his mother
that she had passed through the ordeal
with spirit and courage. The Princesses
also kissed their eldest brother, who, in
his turn, played with young Prince Ar
thur, pretending to retain him in the
chamber after the rest of the family had
gone.
The Queen was not in the room more
than twenty minutes, and vet every one

which needed frmness and a sense ofdutv.
Doubtless the consciousness of this will be,
to her, a sufficient reward.

The Atlantic and Great Western tn
the Pennsylvania COUrIs.

1t was not the purpose of this article
to allude to specific interests, but while
upon them, let us, exemplifying the same
principle of the railway as a popular edu.
Gator, refer to a dispute which the state Of
Pennsylvania Is now urging to her shame.
The Atlantic and Great Western Road
wishes to conduct a broad gauge track
from CORY or Meadville, through tie
widest and least civilized portions of tina.
state, straight to the metropolis. This
would shed the light of Christianity upon
regions where the benighted bushwackers
still vote for Andrew jackson, and devel-
ope material wealth at present beyond the
limited power of Pennsylvania to ex-
hume; yet, because the Pennsylvania
Railroad is potent at Harrisburg, the At
lantic company is forbidden a right Of
way where the native panthers are at pres
ent the terror of both the chipmOnks and
the people. For fear New York may gain
a penny, Pennsylvania Is condemning the
broard northern belt Of her " undevel-
oped territory TO isolation and ignorance.
A state so illiberal in her theories Of
progress cannot long keep rank among
tirst-class commonwealth. The portions
of Pennsylvania most accessible 10 New
York are the most spirited and beautiful,
and with b~road-guage highways through
her wildernesses, Pennsylvania will in
sensibly acquire broader notions-Of
which she stands in great need-and may
reduce the number of her citizens who eat
with their knives and borrow newspapers.

Andreu Iohnson Roger. Again

We must give the devil his due. We
stated . few days since that Nj. Andrew
johnson Rogers, of New Jersey, was ii
favor of paying the rebel debt. But Mr.
Rogers denies the soft impeachment, and
on Wednesday last rose to q personal e1-
PLANTATION, which we find reported as fol
lows. Mr.. Rogers first pays his respects
to Mr.. Seward and his "little bell" whose
fsncied tinkling has disturbed the dreams
Of many a Northern Copperhead beside
our little friend from New Jersey:
Mr.. ROGERS IN. j. rose at the same
time to a personal explanation. He aaid
that be wss represented by the Associated
Press as endorsing, in his speech on Mon
day, the speech of VIM. H. Seward in
New York. He did not indorse him or
his speech, but Henry J. Raymond's. No
name having been mentioned, the report
er naturally fell into the mistake. He
had not yet forgotten the tinkling of Mr..
Stewards bell, and should be ashamed to
endorse him and his speech, and let it go
before his constituents.
Mr.. Stevens (Pa)-He did not indorse
Mr.. Seward; he Endorsed me and Mr..
Raymond. Laughter.
Having set himself square on this re-
cord, Mr.. Rogers proceeds to illuminate
the House as to his position on the debt
question, but, as will be seen, came to
worse grief than if he had left the mat
ter as it stood at first. Here is his ez-
PLANTATION:
Mr.. ROGERS-I am again represented
in the New York Tribune as wanting the
Confederate debt paid alluding to a head
ing in the TriBuHel. l simply stated that
each State should be left to do as it pleas
ed about the rebel debt. But I am now
here to say, and I wish to be so reported.
that if l had the control of it, 1 would op-
pose the payment Of the Federal debt IN
toto.
Several members-The Federal debt?
Mr.. ROGERS - correcting himself
amid much laughter 1 mean the Rebel
debt.
Mr.. WASHBURNE. lIllinois)--The
gentleman desired TO be distinctly report
ed as opposed to the payment of the Fed
eral debt. Laughter.
Mr.. ROGERS| am not 1 am OPP
posed to the payment Of the Rebel debt;
but 1 am in favor Of taxing the Federal
debt.
From all which we conclude that Mr.
Rogers is about as much confused as to
what debt be wants paid as he was, during
the war, as to what side he belonged to.
Of one thing he is, however, sure, and that
5 that he belongs to the new party of
which Andrew johnson is the great
