Mr.. DAVIS HEALTu.-A correspon-
dent of the New York Herald writes from
Fortress Monroe ON the 18th instant The
most serious question of all at present re-
lates to the health of Mr.. Davis. While
all most interested in him hope for the best,
the most sanguinc express the fear that his
health is at too low an ebb to be restored,
that the sands of his life are rapidly run
ming out. and that he soon will be beyond
the reach of all earthly tribunals Mr..
OConor spoke of his growing feeblehess
when here. Every day tle increasing
weakness of his Voice, his unsteady and
palnful walk, the deepening hollow of his
checks. his eyes more sunken, his dim
ming sis hit and falling appetite and spirits,
show it with papable and undoubting GER
tainty.'

RepFimanding ROusseau-The Seen,
In the HOuse.

Washington Dispatch to the New York Tribune.
Judge Spalding moved hat Mr.. Rous-
seau, being no longer of the House, be dis
alarms. This gave rise to long debate,
in which Messrs. Stevens, Kelley, Banks,
and Harding of Kentucky engaged. To
quiet matters, Mr.. Spalding modified his
resolution so as to make it ask the House
to accept Mr.. Rousseau's resignation.
This made matters worse, General Gar
field raising the point of order that the
House had no power to accept the resig-
nation of a member.
For the next thirty minutes the floor of
the House was like a perfect bedlsm. 1t
reminded n Of a scene in an auction
room. Mr.. Harding of Kentucky had
the floor, and was going on in a regular
Western st~nmp-speech style, asserting
that Rousseau was no longer a
member of the House. Mr.. Banks,
having under his arm and in his hands
two immense books with leather covers,
kept rising in his seat and reading from
his books TO prove that Rousseau
was still a member. Mr.. Conkling sat
nervously in his seat, holding back his
adjournment resolution, and waiting anx-
iously to get a chance to present it. Mr..
Raymond, keeping a sharp eye on the
movements of Gen. Paine, helped to keep
up the noise by citing the case of Preston
Brooks. A number of members were
walking around talking loudly. A few,
who never say anything else, were con-
tinually raising points of order, and the
Speakers arm was in perpetual motion
bringing down his mallet on his desk, so
AS to restore order. Mr.. Rogers of New
Jersey, still having faith in his great pow
er of commanding meng tried TO quiet
matters by raising q point of order, but it
had no effect except to make Stevens and
others laugh. And at last, after forty
minutes had expired, Judge Spalding, who
Is an old man and looks as if he prefer
red quietness to noise and confusion, rose
and withdrew his motion to accept Rous-
scans resignation.
Mr.. Wilson of lows, then moved that
the House proceed with the regular order,
and demanded the previous question. The
Democrats continued raising points of or
der, but 500 the previous question was
seconded. Thereupon Gen. Rousseau ad-
yanced, and took q position directly in
front of Mr.. Colfax, who read TO him his
reprimand as directed by the House.
When the Speaker had finished, the Gen
eral left the Hall. The reading of the
reprimand consumed only about two min
utes. The long debate on the question,
which was entirely unnecessary, occupied
about three hours time.

M Progress of ReeonstrnctiOn-

The ratification by Tennessee OF the
Reconstruction Amendment 10 the Con-
setution proposed by the T~hirty-ninth
Congress, has been Immediately followed
by her recognition as q restored and re-
generated State, and her representatives
and senators have been admitted to seats
in the two branches of the national Legis-
lature. The President Of the United
States, however much he desired to thWart
the policy of reconstruction LAID down
by Congress, did not dare place hlmseil
in opposition to the restoration Of has own
State to power, and has affixed his sigma
ture to the joint resolution recognizing
Tennessee. Still afflicted, however, with
that incontinence of words which has been
his political destruction, he sends to the
House of Representatives, in which the
resolution originated, a veto message Win
the veto left out-a document arguing
that the resolution is unnecessary, IS un-
constitutional, is based on Gntounded as
sumptions, and is altogether a most dan
gerous precedent, but stating that, after
all, he has signed it. The language and
manner of this v~etoless veto are very Ike
those of the preceding messages and
speeches which its author has inflicted up
on the public only too often.
Thus Tennessee resumes her place n the
constellation of the Union. Her read
mission, and the enthusiasm which greeted
its completion, is a guaranty TO the lately
rebellious states that, Notwithstanding
their crimes against the government
they will be gladly welcomed back to
power as soon as they comply with the mild
and reasonable conditions which that gov
ernmen has prescribed to ensure the sta
bilitv of the Union. Her re-admission Is
a denial, spoken in thunder-tones, OF the
false charge that the majority in Congress
are disunionists and desire to exclude the
Southern states from return to power.
There is no such desire in the breast Of
any member of tho Union party. Its
most hearty wish is TO see the South re-
stored TO its former place in the Union
but it wishes it to come back redeemed,
~regenerated purified; pur5ed of dross
by the fervent fire which has sOsorely tried
it, with its love of secession, its clinging
to slavery, its prejudice Of caste and color,
its cruelty and hatred to the negro race,
all laid aside. We wish to see the SOnth
restored-not the South OF Breckenridge
and Booth, JEFF Davis and Quantrell,
Toombs and Hampton, but rather the
South of the old time which claimed Jefer-
son and Washington, Madison and Monroe,
jackson and Pickney, as its represen-
tatives and leaders.

As a proof of the credit which the
sma Her German states enjoy it may be
me- ntiOned that the Bank of Rostock some
tIr lie ago wished to contract for a loan of
D alf a million thalers, and although the
'0ank is a very good one they still thought
that in the present scarcity of money they
might have some difficulty, and they
therefore induced the Duke Of Mecklen-
burg-Schwerin 10 give a guarantee for the
loan, including all his domains and other
property, worth one hundred millions.
But nobody would lend anything on the
guarantee of the grand Duke, although
the bank is said to AVE applied not only
in Germany, but also in England and
Holland, and offered ten per cent inter
est.
The following annecdote comes from
Venice: A ballet girl of remarkable
beauty and exquisite form, while dancing
al theth eater there, had bouquet thrown
10 her tied with = ribbon in the Italian
colors. She Immediately kissed the rib
bon, which created tremendous enthusi-
asm amongst the audience. After the
performance she was called 10 the police
Office, and sharply reprimanded for this
act OF patriotism. She excused herself by
saying that in kissing the bouquet she
had only followed tho universal custom
on suah occasions, but the authorities
would not accept this excuse, and told her
that at another time she should not kiss
the bouquet, but tread it under foot. The
following evening another banquet was
thrown, and, tina daneer, in compliance
with her instructions, trod it under foot,
again amid frantic applause. The ribbon
round the bouquet was, however, not red,
green and white ribbon, but blsck ana

EnnnIiznnnn Of Rnnnties.

The bill for the equalization Of bOun-
lies, which passed the House of Repre-
sentatives a few weeks ago with only two
votes recorded against il, was defeated in
the Senate on Tuesday, receiving IA ayes
TO % noes. The result is a curious exhi-
bition of one evil which results from our
popular institutions. We do not doubt
that, if the true feeling of the members OF
the House of Representatives had been
expressed upon this bill, it would have
been rejected there by as large a majority
as il has been in the Senate. But each Of
these Representative has among his con
s~tituOnts a largo number of soldiers
who would receive from one TO
one hundred dollars should the
bill become a law. DESTROYS to pro-
pitiste this class, many members Of the
lower house, who were at heart opposed
to the bill, voted for it, and but two menu
bers had manliness enough TO oppose The
proposition, which in effect would add
three hundred millions of dollars to u
national debt, thus increasing taxation, in
juring our credit abread, raising the price
of gold, and p~ostponing still further the
day of return to a specie basis. The Sem
ators, however, have no such immediate
relations to a popular constituency! In
the first place their terms of office are three
times as long as those of members of the
House In the second place, they are
elected by a Legislature, less likely to be
influenced by personal considerations, and
presumably more n elligently watchfulfor
thepublic welfare, than the mass of voters.
While, therefore, such a bill as this passos
the House, by a nearly unanimous vote, it
is defeated in the Senate by a three-fths
vote. We do not call attention 10 this
fact as an evidence that our Democratic
institutions are evil. We believe in this
personal responsibility of members to
their constituents, and are confident that
it prevents them from doing harm ten
times as often as it prevents them from
doing good. But we believe also in an
upper house less directly responsible, and
rejoice in the mdtual checks which these
two bodies, differently constituted, exer-
cise upon eaeh other.

0mcers Extra Paw vo,e,I by CoDrrcs,

Officers Extra Pay Voted by Congress.
The Sandusky Register calls attention
TO the fact that there is quite a mistake in
the published telegram in regard to the
amount due officers of the Union army,
under ths act recently passed. by Congress
granting three months extra pay TO those
in service at the end of the war. 1t saws
that the bill merely extends the applica-
cation of an act passed in the winter of
1864, giving three months extra pan
proper to officers who should remain in
service until the close of hestilties. Pau
proper and full pay are two very differ
ent things. The party who furnished the
information tc the Associated Press evil
IDENTIFY computed three months full paw
including %rations, servant hire, clothing,
&c. Unless the last bill changes the Ian
guage and the intent of the original act
the real amount to be paid is about $40
to a Lieutenant $500 to a Colonel Of In
fantry, snd the intermediate officers grad
usted between those sums.

BanquO of the Occasion.
Washington Correspondence n. Y. Tribune.l
George Francis Train is at Willard's
holding levees and granting audiences to
all who desire to participate in the Phila-
delphia Convention. He has prepared
the speech with which he designs to com
mence the performance. 1t will be ready
for distribution a week ahead, with " ap-
plsuse,' cheers, and Laughter liber-
ally inserted in the proper places. He
swears there shall be at least one man in
the Convention who neither holds nor
wants an Office.
1t comes from good authority that the
managers of the Philadelphia Convention
will make the Hon. Thomas Ewing. of
Ohio, President of the Convention. Gen.
Dix wrote his reply 10 Doolittle's letter
hattered by the idea of getting the posi-
ton, but Hendricks, Niblack, Blair & Co.
assert that Dix is Of no recount. They
want a stronger man. In fact, there is
great trouble in the camp of the Presi-
dents supporters, as the Presidents pri-
vate secretary, Col. Cooper, said in con
versation the other day, that the admission
of Tennessee into the Union by Congress
hpd upset all the plans of President
johnson.
EThe so-called Conservative Republicans
headed by Raymond, Doolittle and Co.,
groan over the anticipated admission of
Fernando Wood, Jas. Brooks, Ben Wood
and the similar crowd of Copperheads as
delegates Il the Philadelphia Convention.
The President, too, Is alarmed, and it is
said that he proposes sending Doolittle
and Browning to New-York CITY to fix
matters. Their mission will be 10 see
Dean Richmond, Sam. Tilden, Haskin.
and others, and have then keep Fernando
Wood and party out of the Convention.
The President is afraid that, iftoo many
rank Copperheads get in, it will look bad.
and people may suspect that all is not
right
Fernando Wood confidently asserts that
the patronage of the New-Yo1k Custom
House, Surveyors and Post-Ofiees will be
given TO Mozart Hall after the adjourn
ment of the Philadelphia Convention, TO
counterbslanco the City patronage of
Tammany Hall. Surely matters are COM
ing TO an interesting turn.
