HOUSE.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, March IA
Wilson of Iowa, from the judiciary Com
mittee, reported back the Senate bill in rela-
ton to the Court OF Claims, with the following
amendment, as an additional section.
That at the end of each session of the Court
of Claims, the Clerk of said Court, shall
the heads of the following departments. The
Solicitor, Comptroller, and Auditors of the
Treasury, the Commissioners Of the General
Land Office, and of Indian affairs, the Chiefs
of Bureaus, and other officers charged with ad
justng claims against the United States.
The amendment was agreed to, and the
bill so amended was passed. Spaulding
obtained leave to make some personal ex-
plantations. He observed by the report in
the Globe. that the joint resolution which he
had introduced on Monday, touching the tax
alton of national currency had been
characterized by the gentleman from Penn
Mr.. Stevens, as rank reputation
Nothing could be farther from
his, Mr.. Spauldings, mind, than to infringe on
the national credit which he regarded as he
did the apple Of his eye. The subject of his
resolution. was simply to permit greenbacks
TO be taxed in his State, just as State bank
notes have heretofore been taxed there He
ulu uot iHteHu uis JOINT FtcOlutlDu " dppl9 I'D
the interest bearing bonds of the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Stevens confessed that when he made
the remark complained of, he was not aware
of the object Of the joint resolution, and had
only followed the lead Of the distinguished
gentleman from Ilinos, Mr.. Wentworth
whom he was always happy to follow. (laugh
ter.) He found, however, that the resolu
t,on was entirely different from what he
thought it was, and of course his remarks
were entirely inapplicabe.
Mr. Donneily of Minnesota, by unanimous
cousent, introduced bill granting land TO
the State Of Minnesota for the establishment
Of an Institution for the relief of disabled
soldiers and sailors, which was read twice
and referred tn the committee on public
lands.
The House went into committee of the
whole, Wilson of Iowa IN the chair, and re
sumed the consideration OF the joint resolu
lion in reference 10 the Paris Exposition.
The resolution was warmly discussed By
Washburne. Chandler. Woodbridge and
others.
Before coming to a vote House adjourned.

MATHEW ARNOLD is an Englishman, a
scholar and an observant man. In a recei
article of his, entitled MY Couutrymen, he
reads the Johnny Bulls a severe but whole
some critique. He says that throughout tie
continent it has become the universal opinion
that Great Britain has fallen to third place
among nations. both France and the United
States being placed before her. He thinks
England could be lectured after this manner
at was good aristocratical policy to have
helped Austria in the Italian war; it was
good arlstocratica policy to have helped the
South in the American war. The DAYS of
aristocratical policy are over for you; with
your new middle class ptblic opinion you cut,
in Italy, the figure our friend here has just
shown you; in America you scold right and
left. you get up monster memorial to depre-
cate the further efluson of blood; you lament
over the abridgnent of civil liberty by people
engaged in a struggle for life and death, and
meaning to win; and when they turn a deaf
to you and win, you say, %, now let US
be one great united Anglo-Saxon family and
astonish the world, This is just of piece
with your threatening Germany with the EN-
peror of the French. Do YOU not see that all
these blunders dispose the Americans, who
are very shrewd, and who have been succeed
ing as steadily as you have been failing, 10
answer: We have got the lead. no thanks to
YOU. and we mean to astonish the world with

CRoPs IN THE SOUTH. certainly are at
@ loss to know Just the condition and pros
poets IN the South for a COOL crop this pres
EFT selson. From various localities come
different reports, and statements OF writers are
CO. fl citing. The Charleston Courier says:
"A gentleman who owns plantations both
in Solth Carolina and Georgia, and who is
very recently from the latter State, favored
US Yesterday with a call and with some valua
bic information respecting the present con
diuon Of crops In his opinion there is not
the less "a saf,r prehens on as to the result
ofthe planting in either State. He expects,
however, to realize greater profit from his
plantations in Georgia than from those in
tais Stale. He conceives the system of labor
in Georgia to be in exact harmony with the
conditions Of the climate and the soil. There
the freedmen receive rations and salary for
their labor. and do not own any portion of the
crops here they are entitled to one third of
the product for their services. Throughout
the entire State of Georgia the prospects of
good yields from the soil is very fiattering.
The planters are encouraged and sangulne.
The same may be said of South Carolina.
We hear nothing at the present time of q
probable failure of crops. Men are looking
forward to a rich harvest Cotton. of course,
will be the principal article in the market
We hear of few planters who have given the
larger portions of their land to the raising of
cereals.
Per contra, letter from Macon, Georgia,
to the Boston Post says;
Rely upon it, not m )re than one fourth,
or at most, one third of our usual cotton crop
can by any possibility ba raised The present
year This will result inevitably, and all
hopes and prospects of a large crop are fal-
lacioas ~ dooped to be disappointed. |

ing cotton.
The Jackson, Mississippi Standard think
the cotton crop in that State this year will no
exceed two hundred and fifty thousand bales
In 1850 it was one million three hundres
thousand bales. The reason assigned by tn,
Standard is the want of sufficient labor.

PARLIAMENT AND THE WRIT OF
HABEAs CORPUS.

81 can easier teach twenty what were good
TO be done, than be one Of the twenty to fol
low mine own teaching" The practical
philosophy Of Portia finds many counter
part in the experience ofothers. We publish
the debate in the British Parliament upon the
suspention of the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus in Ireland. Feniana has Gre
ated romewhat of fright in England. A
constable and two deputies have been repuls
ed in attacking house wherein some of the
order had collected, and Johnny in his con-
sequent alarm attacks the great bulwarks of
Engliyh liberty and suspends the habeas
corpus. DIsraeli who could not see his way
clear to sympathy with the Union cause in
our late struggle, and whose soul was vexed
within him at the fragrant violation of law
and popular right on the part of our admin
lstration, has clearer perceptives when trouble
comes higher home, and his optics disclose
TO him in Ireland, condition of things to
justify the suspension. Mr.. Roebuck of
course was clamorous for the suspension.
He was consistent friend of the rebels
throughout when the rebellion was against
the unity Of our Government; but rebellion
finds no sympathy from him when it is to
overthrow the English establishment in Ire
land. He persistently villifed the measures
Of our Government, and thought our struggle
the period of which Great Britain should take
advantage to crush forever the Western Re-
public We We're prepared to find Mr.. Roe
buck an advocate for the most strenuous
measures in the Fenian excitement Alto

The CASE or TENSEssE.-The report pre-
sented by the majority of the committee on
Reconstruction, in favor Of the admission of
Tennessee with present Constitution. is n con
cession by that committee to the President of
the vital points in his policy. and we hope it
will not be adopted BY Congress. If there
ever a time. and we think there never
was, when Republicans could afford to yield
their principles and those of their party in
order to harmonic with Andrew johnson and
the copperheads, that time is not now The
questions at issue between the President and
the loyal people day are of such nature
and Importance that if necessary, they will
fight another four year war rather than sur
render their rights in the matter, and the
sooner Congress informs the President that
he has got to fight in order to rule them, the
better for him and for the country. On the
contrary, the majority report of the Recon
struction Commillee on Tennessee throws up
the sponge, and gives up in principle all the
material question at issue Chicago Tribune.
We cannot see any wisdom in the position
of the Tribune. II has been our opinion that
hte Tennessee members should have been
admitted at the opening of Congress- and that
the failure to admit them was great blunder:
and we think that the Union men of the
North generally have looked upon the matter
much as We did. We know that the recon.
struction committee had concluded to report
in favor of the admission of the Tennes see
members before the Presidents veto of the
Freedmen Bureau, and we are glad to see
that the irritation excited by that did not per-
manently prevent this act of justice and sound
policy.
As we look upon it, measures tending to
conciliation and harmony between the Pres-
dent and Congress are essential alike TO the
Integrity of the party and the salvation of the
country.
