The Lancaster IRteliigeneer gives the
leader Of the revolutionary csbal in Con
gress frstrate notice, from which we
make an extract
An itinerant Yankee he cameto Penn
sylvania to better his fortunes. Embark
ing in politics he carried into public life
the morality Of the vsgrant peddler, who
will scruple at no mean trick to dispose
Of his wares at an exorbitant profit.
Disregardibg every moral obligation, and
repudiating every social tie, he lived the
life Of man isolated from those about
him. Stating his passions where he conld.
spurning allthe humanislng associations
Of domestic life, setting at open defiance
the deepest seated prejudiees Of race and
color, recognizing no obligations 10 the
community in which he lived, to the
State which furnished him home, OF TO
the country ~ large, he cherished in bis
perverted mind and wicked heart a sun
Gle sentiment which in course Of time
came 70 control all other emotions Of
his nature. He hated the South What
special cause he had for luminosity
sgainst the entire white race Of that sec
ton we know not
We can only sccount for his bitter, I'M
bending and unreasoniug prejudice, BY

which the voluminous measure to amend
the national currency or banking law
was discussed, and thep postponed until
December next Z
The Committee on Banking had spent
several months perfecting this bill, and
they took its temporary defeat with great
regret
The only important measure which re-
mains TO be passed is the new Army bill.
A Committee Of Conference we're hard
at work to-day in framing a new bill
| which will be acceptable to both houses.
In the Senate this morning Mr.. Sher.
man presented credentials of Fowler, OF
Tennessee, and the new Senator was
sworn in Mr. Patterson, the other Ten
nessee Senator, was not present. Ii is
said that his credentials willbe referred
TO the judiciary Committee to ascertain
how much truth there is in the statement
that he was Judge of a Confederate court
The resolution for adjournment led TO
discussion. Senator Wade believed that
Congress ought not to adjourn at all, but
ought to remain in continuous session to
prevent the Government from falling into
hostile hands ai
The Miscellaneous Appropriation bill
was taken up and discussed and amended.
No very important amendments were
adopted.
Ouile a number Of visitors were assem-
bled at the Executive Mansion to day,
who waited with commendable patieuce
TO have an interview with the President,
but he was unable to-see them, owing TO
the fact that his time was taken up with
matters of. Importance connected with
the departments. Secretary Wel'es has
been engaged with the President during
a large portion of the day, and Secretary
Stanton and SECRETARY Harlan were also
in conference with him this morning.
Clement L. Valandigham to-day called
at the White House, in company with
Gen. Morgan, of Ohio, and ) d. Thomp-
son, Esq, Chairman of the Ohio Demo
cratic Slate Central Committee, and re
quested an audience with the President
They were unsuccessful, however, in
their object, as the President did not e
ceive them, and they departed with The
intention of returning tomorrow.
A schedule of articles exempt from in
ternal revenue tax from and after the 18th
OF July, the date of the passage Of the
new law, Is being prepared by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, and will
shortly be published.
The House this morning passeda bill
reported from the Judiciary Committee
to punish certain crimes. The bill pro.
vides that any person who shall steal
from another person any property be
longing 10 the Upited States shall be
deemed guilty Of a felony aud punished
by fine not exceeding four times the value |
Of the amount stolen, or Imprisonment
not exceeding twenty years, and any per
SON who shall impede the passage of loco
motives or cars carrying the mail or
troops shall be liable TO a fine of twenty I
thousand dollars, or Imprisonment not
exceeding twenty years, or both.

GREAT SUIT FOR DAMAGES.

Gen. FRANK BLAIR has brought against
the St Louis Democrat a suit for libel,
aud laid the damages at 100000. The
lbelous matter is thus stated; On the
18th inst. the Democrat published in its
columns letter from JAMES LINDSAY, OF
IroBton, No, in which appears the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Look at the audacity of BLAIR A
thief very naturally suspects others,
iudging by his own standard. 1t is sand
he stole cotton enough wilhelm command
of the 18th and 18th Army Corps, and
used the Government teams and soldiers
20 do the work, out of the proceeds OF
which he purchased large farm in Mis-
sissippi, and stocked it with above three
hundred mules and about as many con
trabands.
On the sd inst. the Democrat pub
lished communication from Its Wash
ington correspondent, in which appeared
the following:
Facts will soon be published to show
that BLAIR, when campaigning in South
Carolina, did not hesitate TO appropriate
silverware and China to his own private
use - .FftRet Erg~

STANTON.

STANTON appears to be dishKed oy
both parties. The Conservatives think
the President should dismiss him, and
,be Radicals are down" on him. The
Radical ST. Louis Democrat of yester-
day. says: Washington letter writer's
onenly assert that Mr.. STANTON has made
piteous appeals to be retainedin the Cab
met and has promised to indorse the
Philadelphia Convention. If his self
respect permits him to occupy has pres
ent position much longer, the country
will be apt to believe that these shameful
stories are true. Mr., STASroN's speech
some weeks ago was of tone not at all
calculated to elevate him IN the esteem
of his friends, though many OF them
have still hoped that he would come out
all right in the end, 1t is also reported
that Mr.. SrAYsBERRY accepted the posi-
ton of Attorney General on condition
that Mr.. STANTON should be retained
and that in this position be was backed
by strong Western influences, Stories
so circumstantial as these ought to be
met by Mr. STANTON with some positive
declaration, one way or the other.

IMPORTANT REPORT.

The report Of the Committee on For
eign Affairs submitted to the House by
Gen. BANKS favors the repeal Of the neu-
trality laws, and the enactment Of Others
in conformity with the law of nations,
and the practice of other powers toward
ourselves. It claims payment from Brit
ain for property destroyed by priyaieers
fitted out from British ports, and says
while we prefer peace 10 war, and find
our advantage in maintaining peace as
against war, it is no longer from necessi-
ty. If we are compelled TO choose be-
tween the sacrifice Of our rights and an
appeal to the arbitrament of war there
can be no doubt about the decision We
can no longer stand bail for the peace OF
the world. We have stood guard for
other nations long enough Ii accuses
England Of countenancing the rebellion
and speaks Of the suppression Of the Fe-
man invasion Of Canada as a better
treatment than England had right to
expect It alludes to Irishmen as race
which has suffered for centuries inexcu-
sable and infamous wrongs, and asserts
that the American people believe that

Upon the final passage of the resolu-

seats from Tennessee we're referred by
the House to the Committee on Elec-
