A Remarkable and Significant Article
Which Congress will the President
RecOginize

l 1898
The following law, passed by Con
gress and approved by President Lin
coin, 1862, stands upon the statute
book:
CHAPTER XNNVL--An act fixing the
number fthe House of Represents
tives from and after the Sd of March,
eighteen hundred and sixty. three.
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of the Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress
assembled, That from and after the
ID day of March, eighteen hundred
and sixty three, the number of mem
bers of the House of Representatives
of the Congress of the United States
shall be two hundred and forty-one !;
and the eightadditional members shall
be assigned, in one in each, to Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, Vermont and Rhode
Island
Approved March, 4, 1862,
BY law Congress thus consists of
two hundred and forty-one members,
and by law, also, majority of the
whole number of, or one hundred and
twenty one members, constitute quo
rum. Suppose that members elected
from the Southern States should meet
in December, 1867, and be enough,
added TO Northern members who be-
lieved in their right TO representation,
and who would meet with them, to
constitute a quorum and suppose the
Northern members who do not believe
the South cntitledto representation and
who would not meet with them should
meet by themselves, constituting less
than a quorum of the whole number
The Pittsburg Chrpniele begins to see
the possibility Of such an occurrence,
and 1t also sees that the President will

one of the other ofthese bodies rs the

to the one or the other; he must treat
one or the other as branch of Con
gress, clothed with the power of max
ing laws, aud the other as having no
such authority Alal under the cir
cumstances assumed. there can be
very little doubt, in tiew of his known
opinions on the subject, that Presi-

RIsroRr's FIRST APPEARANCE IN NEW
YoRK.-The Evening Post gives the
following as its first impression of this
great actress: Els a6i Is
We are aware how imperfect is our
analysis of this great artists acting.
She is too grandly powerful, and too
consumate an artist, to be studied in
one evening. On first witnessing
such wonderful display eff genius the
mind is too much overwhelmed with
succession of changing emotions and
sensations to be able to make a critical
analysis. A few more words may
suffice, however, to give some addi-
tional impressions.
Ristori's personal appearance is
really queenly. A friend who has liv-
ed much on the Plains remarked to us
that her majestic stride, and some of
the tiercer and sterner expressions of
her face, reminded him forcibly of
some of the most royal specimens he
had seen of those Indians who have
been uncontaminated by contact with
the baser class of white men. The
whirlwind of passion which at times
shook her whole frame could not be
borne or expressed by one of less
vigorous physique. In these torrents
other wrath she looked as though she
could by mere physical force sweep
everything before her =
But it is not alone, or espeeiautyy-su
this phase, that she is great. The
tenderness of maternal love can never
have been more beautifully or touching
lyexhibited than in the quieter passa-
ges of AedeG, between her and her chill
dren The unbidden tears came from
the eyes ofmany veteran and hardened
theater- goers, as she made her swift
and marvellous transition from the
wild rhapsodies of vengeance to the
tender caressing of her children. In
this-the more human range .of the
tragic art-Ristori's is incompatible.
Rachel could never approach her in
this.

FROM tue New York Times letter
from Lexington, Va, we make the
following extracts:
"A plain marble slab three feet in
height; slightly curved at the top,
and bearing nothing more than the
words, Gen. Thos. j. Jackson and
an upright foot-stone of a foot and a
half in height, with nothing morejn
way of legend, II. J. J.'--these are,
all of words or monuments there ares
about the grave Of Jackson But
there are other visible signs and more
significant. Yesterday morning Was
the holy Sabbath, but the green turf
was covered with the rarest flowers.
AT the head of the grave was an elabo
rate wreath, and almost every inch
from stone to stone bore flowery tri-
butte to the sleeper beneath. Nearly
all these flowers were rs fresh rs if
pulled from the stalk but an hour be-
fore, and all the villagers bear witness
that they are renewed almost every
day"
GENERAL LEE
No man more courteous than he,
none more highbred, none more gen
erous, none more kindly in his inter-
course with his neighbors. And Lee
lives peaceful, cheerful, uno5trusive
life among these mountains So far
rs he is himself concerned, he would
prefer that his name should be dropped
from present talk and current news.
History must mention him, he knows,
hut that time has not yet come Lee
holds himself utterly aloof from the
disputes and passions of the hour;
and here is q proof On Saturday
night he was 1T Rockbridge Baths.
StaIwaft and erect as ever, white
haired and ruddy hued, his eye still
bright and kindly, as of old
he sat among She ladies Of the neigh
borhood chatting as any other man
might do; but withhim, with his past
and present hanging ~2bont him, NJ
seemed like the dead past holding fon-
verse with the MUSES.. PresSetly.fher

man, being acquainted with the Gen
eral, greeted him, and after the com.
mon places rendered him the news
papers of the day "Thank you,'
said Lee, "but | never read any of Z
them"
Lee lives here comfortably, and
calmly, with his family and many of
his former friends around him. His
son, Gusts Lee, is a Professor in the
Institute here, and his former Chief
Of Staff, Gen. Pendleton, is the Epis.

The MASSACHUSETTS GRLs--A California
letter writer has this to say concerning the
Massachusetts, girls sent out to Washington
Territory;
God help the girls They are going toOne OF
the most deSOlate countries on the globe. The
inhabitants are sort OF Semi-civilized people,
rough and uncouth in their manners, and about
one half of the young men learn, are living in
open cOncubinage with the SquawS. They are
honest, gOOd-hearted and brave people, but
they have been 50 long eStranged from the
great moving world outside of their domain,
that they will make, fancy, very sorry compan-
ions for glrn from that very refined, elegant
and iastidiOU, Embellishments. The peo-
pie Of Washington Territory don't want 50 many
women. There are Young women there nov To
supply them with wives, and the Massachusetts,
shipment will be drug ~ the market. Many
Of those girls will be forced To prostitution
when they get to be provided with honorable
means OfOccupation. lfsuch should unhappily
be the case, Mercer should be made to suffer
