On motion of Mr.. Raymond to reconsider
the vote on the subject, Mr.. Elliot announced
that he should, in consequence Of this debate,
postpone pressing the previous question on
the bill enlarging the powers Of the Freed
men Bureau until Monday next.

enable Mr.. Garfield to move recess of ten
minutes, SO that Major Generals Meade and
Thomas, who we're now in the hall, might be
formally introduced to the House.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
The Speaker then left his seat, escorted
Major General Meade to the stand, and Mr..
Garfield with Major General Thomas, extend.

wHArrvra other people may say, we think

WHATEVER other people may say, we think
it would be the most damnable farce in the
records Of time to bring JEFF. DAVIS to trial
in Richmond before jury of his fellow-crim-
inals. And the act would reflect undying in
fanny upon those responsible for it, as a cheap
and cowardly mode of giving impunity and a
certificate of character to the Chief of the
traitors, after those same traitors had con-
signed the Chief of the Republic to bloody
grave by the hands Of an assassin.
After such trial with such result, and
that result will be as certain as the trial, il
will be appropriate and timely to turn the
Government over to the traitors, and let them
commence hanging and shooting the Lincoln
ties without further ado.
We must not forget, that although mil
lion men have been arrayed in arms against
the Government Of the country, and half a
million of its defenders have fallen in the
war, not a man has been hung for treason,
and not one is likely to be. Indeed the great
effort now is, to get the traitor chiefs restored
to seats in Congress, in order that they may

future.
The only public man TO suffer death for his
participation in civil affairs, has been the
Chief Magistrate of the Nation. And now
the Nation is to be humbugged with farcical
acquittal of the chief traitor, and the Vice
President of the reasonable Confederacy is
to come into the Senate of the United States
amidst the loud plsudits of the Copperheads
TO support the policy of the late Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, now in the Presi-
dental Chair.
Such is the programme of the New York
World. and the scheme seems to be regarded
with favor by other journals from which We
had hoped better things.
1t would be immeasurably better that JErr'
DAVIS should be pardoned, as hundreds no less
guilty than himself have been, than to have
him acquitted by jury of sympathisers in
Richmond. Ifit is essential that the policy
of conciiation should be carried out by grant
ing impunity to traitors, and their restoration
to Congress, let their chief be Internationally
pardoned by the President, rather than have
the country, the world and posterity outraged
by verdict of acquittal rendered in the late
rebel capital

More Men Wanted.

The great want of this age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from centre to cir
conference, true to the hearts core
Men who fear the Lord and covetous-
ness. Men who will condemn wrong
in friend or foe, in themselves as well
as others. Men whose consciences
are steady rs the needle to the pole. 49,
Men who will stand for the right if
the heavens totter and the earth reels
Men who can tell the truth and look
the world and the devil right in the
eye Menthat neither brag nor run.
Men that neither swagger nor finch.
Men who can have courage without
whistling for it, and Joy without shout
ing to bring it. Men in whom the
current of everlasting life runs still
and deep and strong Men careful of
Gods honor, and careless of men IS
applause. Men too large for sectarian
limits, and too strong for sectarian
bands. Men who do not strive, nor
cry, nor cause their voices to be heard
in the streets, but who will not fail
nor be discouraged, till judgment be
set in the earth. Men who know their
message and tell it. Men who know
their duty and do it. Men who know
their place and fill it. Men who mind
their own business Men who will
not lie. Men who are not too lazy to
work, nor too proud to be poor. Men
who are willing to eat what they have
earned, and wear what they have paid
for. Men who know in whom they
have believed. Men whose feet are
on the everlasting rock. Men who are
strong with divine strength, wise with
the wisdom that cometh from above,

Sights i'm Holland.

A Rotterdam correspondent of the
Boston Irareler writes
Imagine a city where every other
street is dirty canal, filled with bar
ges, where half the front doors open
into brooks, and the other half direct
ly into the streets which are paved
with brick. Imagine everything, from
street door signs to three trunks, per-
fectly white and clean, with the excep-
ton of the water with which every
thing is washed Imagine everything
looking as if they had just been sent
home from the laundry, nobody dirty
or shiftless, or slovenly, and all the
peasants hobbling about in huge
wooden shoes, of hundred pounds
burden to use a nautical phrase,
with soles two inches thick.
Imagine several hundred hand-carts
laden with fruits and vegetables, pull
ed by dogs who trot under the axle
tree while the seller holds the affair
up by the handles in the rear The
horses are very few in number, and
very queer looking beasts they are. -
In fact, they do not resemble horses
at all, and are so thin AMI miserable
in their aspect, that | don't wonder at
the peasants preferring the dogs in
their places. All freight and heavy
goods are transported by water, anu
consequently there are but few wag-
ons. Those few are heavy and awk-
ward, and are fastened to the horns
by ropes. The streets are lined with
shade trees, and many of the houses
have beautiful gardens, with rivulets
instead of flower beds, and shaded
islands in the place of summer-houses.
Dutch beds, stables, barnyards, in
fact everything that have seen III
Dutch-land is clean and fresh. In
COW houses the animals tails are tied
up to hook in the ceiling that they
may not be soiled by contact with the
floor, and when they go out to pas
ture i'll the spring they have cloth
tied around them as little boys have
bibs, to keep them nice and Clean
Bugs and spiders stand no possible
chance of existence in Holland. Ev-

An Incident at Philadelphia.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette relates the following ms happen
ing at the Philadelphia Convention:
"While Doolittle was speaking, Ser
geant-at-arms McClosey, late of the
Charleston Convention, handed bot
tie of whiskey to a stupid radical re-
porter to pass up to the platform. OF
course he wanted it to be slipped up
quietly The reporter did not seem to
understand the Democratic way, and
holding it up as high as possible he
reached it up over the stage. For a
moment every Democratic eye was on
it, and all lips in sight of the reporters
table gave an instructive smack. But
it was not just the thing to have that
bottle there, and the reporter seemed
inclined to hold it there till somebody
took it. At last Vice President adj
vanced across the platform, made a
raid upon it, and holding it under his
coat, took it where it could be appre-
ciated

Drunkenness Among Women.

The Round Table publishes start
ling article upon drunkenness among
women. 1t says the vice is prevalent
among fashionable ladies, and that
some of the most elegant of them will
pass the summer, not at Saratoga or
Newport as usual, but at an asylum for
inebriates. The writer intimates that
the vice of fashionable drinking is now
more prevalent among the ladies than
among the gentlemen of this country:
that certain dressmakers make it n
point to furnish their customers with
drink, while in saCe stores bottles OF
wine are also kept on hand for lady
shoppers, and in others the merchants
allow their boys to go to the nearest
bar-room for liquor when ladies de-
sire it. Whiskey and brandy are the
favorite drinks of these ladies, and as
some of the saloons they frequent do
not have these liquors on the bill of
fare, neat little sign" If you don't
see what you want, ask for il" gives
the hint to the initiated. In dress
makers bills the significant item 'small
trimmings often covers up the ex-
pense of liquors which the lady has
ordered through the modiste who pam
ders to her vitiated taste, while at the
watering places bride to the waiter
procures a secret supply of liquor,
which by the connivance of the land
lord, is charged Us extra luncheons. ="
1t is asserted that girls of eighteen,
daughters of the most respectable New
York merchants, have been seen gross
ly intoxicated in Broadway stages and
upon the public streets, and that no
superiority of intellect or social posi-
ton is sufficient to guard lady
against this vice.
