Congressional.

WASHINGTON, June IL. In tic Senate,
Mr.. Doolittle called up the resolution of
fered b. him yesterday, rcquestin. the
President to conn lnnicate to the Senate
any information in his possession relative
to the departure of Austrian troops from
Mexico. He said he had reasons to believe
the above would bring information of very
satisfactory character, and felt confident
that Mexico was about to be evacuated by
the French troops. The resolution was
adopted. The legislative appropriation
bill WAS considered.
The HouSe proceeded to the consitlera-
ton OF the constitutional amendment as
reported from the Reconstruction Com
House, and was amended by the Senate
Referring to the basis OF representation,
Reputation OF the Confederate debt, etc,
Mr.. Stevens proposed, and the House at
tempted, to debate the subject for short
time-speeches being limited each to fif-
teen minutes. Mr.. Stevens closed the de-
bate by saying that the amendments were
not such as he desired, as they did not re-
cognize the right of black men to vote.
He, however, said that something
might be done on this subject in future lc-
glslation. BE took occasion to stigma.iZe
the President as usurper in undertaking
to establish civil government in the Sc
ceding States. Under his demand for the
previous question, the House co,curred in
the Senates amendments to the constitu-
tional amendment, by vote of 120 to 81
The Speaker, therefore, announced the
passage of the joint resolution. Several
gentlemen announced the reasons for the
absence OF their colleagues, who, they say,
il present, wouldhave voted for the propo-
sition. MIR. Eldridge, as take-off upon
those gentlemen, said that, il Brooks and
Voorhees, had not been unseated, they
would have voted against the proposition

the vote consolidated the Republicans
Of every shade, Including Smith, of Ken
tucky, Raymond, of New York, Whalcy and
Lathrop, Of West Virginia. The neg gativc
was composed wholly of decided Demo
Gratis. The proposed constitutional amend
ment will now be submitted to the Legis-
latures Of the respective States for their
action. Mr.. Stevens prol ,sed substitute
for the pending bill, as reported by the
Reeonstruction Committee, to enable the
States lately in rebellion to regain their
privileges in the Union. The material
point in the substitute is the admission OF
Tennessee, with her present Senators and
Representatives, but she is hereafter to be
excluded unless, before the 1st OF january
she extends the right of suffrage Impair
italy to every class, besides ratifying the
constitutional amendment to which refer

recently before Judge Giles, Philip
Cashmeyer, under Indictment for
treason, appeared and pleaded guilty
to the said indictment, and pleaded
the pardon of the President of +hc
United States, which he exhibited to
the court, and having complied with
the conditions mentioned in said

Yesterday morning, between l and
3 O'Clock, our city was visited by one
of the severest thunder-storms we
ever witnessed. From East, West,
North and South, the crashing thun-
der rolled, and incessant lightning
darted from every point of dark, bois-
ferrous canopy of clouds, whilst, now
and then, livid, cleaning bolt of
fire would crash against the Garth,
dashing some object into atoms, rem
dering the whole terribly grand and
awe-inspiring, The telegraph Office
was injured considerably; lightning
came and set the building on fire in
two places, completely melting the
wires and screws from the instrument,
and, in one instance, destroyed helix.
The wires are down i'll each direction,
and we have received no dispatches
since midnight, Wednesday. Seve-
raj buildings were more or less da-
maged by wind and rain The water
came dashing and splashing from the
clouds as if the very food gates OF
Heaven were opened for the purpose
of deluging the earth.

The OLD SCHOOL PREsBYTER1AS
AssEMBLY.-The New York Ners, of

AAE OAD SCaOOL 1 RESB1TE TERRAIN
ASSEMBLY New York Ners, Of
the 11th, has the following note:
a radical subscriber to the st.
Louis Republican, who is angry with
the editor of that paper for having
given "gross insult" to tho loyal
body of the Old School Presbyterian
General Assembly and others, " in a
late issue, has written note to the
editor demanding that his name be
erased from the subscription books
Of the Republican,. Whereupon the
editor expresses his regret at the un-
fortunate occurrence, but insists that
the majority of the Old School
Presbyterian Convention were a
shabby set of canting, puritanical,
hypocritical, political demagogues,
nevertheless" The RepubHcan is
candid, certainly, and the Old School
Presbyterians must put up with the
unhattering likeness, the result of
too much friendly otiiciousness.

CuoLER, THEORIES. In the course
Of quite an animated discussion in the
United States Senate, the other day,
on the cholera question, Mr.. McDou-
gall, of California, gave this pithy
theory:
~ am of the opinion that cholera
is the child of fear, and not the Off
spring of contagion. Men have their
own speculations upon it. I have
mine. l mingled with it in its first
advent into the United States. saw
it face to face, and l saw it without
fear, and therefore [ did not get t.
This thing of legislating against pes
thence is mere child's play. and shoot
ing child's arrows at the moon"
That this is brimful of practical
good sense must be apparent to every
one who has gone through n cholera
campaign. Fear and filth are what
the disease feeds on, and to one or
the other may be ascIibcd great
proportion of the deaths occurring
during the prevalence Of cholera in
what is termed epidemic" form
There is nothing like coolness and
cleanliness to meet and hurl back the
dread monster.

SINGULAR Discovery OF HIDDEN
TREASURES BY INDIANS. The Carol
ton lllinois) Democrat says: For some
time past party of Indians, num-
bering fifteen, belonging to the Che
rokee tribe, have been encamped
upon the banks of the Illinois River,
ten miles from this place Their os-
tensible object was fishing, hunting,
&c, but it appears from recent de-
velopments that their chief aim was
to secure hidden treasure of seven
urns of Spanish coin which had been
imbedded in the bluffs ut that point
in years gone by, by their ancient
forefathers. They seemed to be ex-
tremely cautious in their manners,
lest the pale face should discover the
cause of their presence in that par
ticular locality, and wrest the coveted
prize, for which they had travelled
many miles. After diigent search,
which occupied some ten or twelve
days, they succeeded in finding the
spot where lay concealed the secret
of their researches Little remains
to be told. Suffice to say that, after
due exploration, their brightest an
ticipations were by far more than re-
allied. The urns of god and other
sacred relies spoken of by their chiefs,
long since gone to the happy "hunt-
ing grounds were secured, and, on
yesterday morning, these untntored
children Of the forest took their de-
parture for the far West, with many
thousand Spanish dollars to cheer
them on their long and tedious
march.

s DANGER TO THE THRosEs FROM
l-WAR.-The London Times, of May
26, says: We have much to hope
from the strong disposition Of the
greater part of Europe for peace. OF
the temper of the Germans It is un-
necessary to speak, and tie French
are scarcely less unwilling to see war
again break out. A great, if gra-
dual, change in their character has
long been in progress, and the nation
which for SO many years was the
terror of Europe, is now-as a
nation--devoted to the pursuits of
peace. The finance of the Empire
has given almost every individual an
interest in the imperial funds, and
railway and other stock is held very
largely by every class Of the popula-
ton. The savings of every one,
whether tradesman, artisan, or pea
SAINT, have been imperrilled by the
fall In all kinds of securities since
the first rumors of war The
people see with apprehension the in
terruption of commerce and commu-
nication. The cause of Italy has never
been SO popular as might have been
expected from q past alliance and the
remembrance of common victories,
and Prussia has never recovered in
France the memories Of 1914 and
1915. The Emperor Napoleon, too,
as well as the other sovereigns of the
Continent generally, may well see
with concern the dimensions and the
direction which this conflict is taking.
The Italian Government has called
popular enthusiasm to its aid, and,
in continental parlance, allied itself
with the revolution. The King of
Prussia is talking about universal
suffrage, and a radical reform in the
German Constitution. What may be
the relations of the Austrian EN-
peror towards his less well affected
and non-German provinces three
months after the outbreak of war
is as yet hidden in the future. But
there is feeling that this war, if
once begun, will assume a revolu-
tionary character If these millions
OF men meet in conflict, thrones will
not remain where they are. German,
Italian, Magyar, Czech and Pole will
be moved rs they never were moved
before.
Such convulsions may be inevitable
in the progress of nations, but they
are not pleasing to emperors and
kings. The position the masses have
taken in these countries, the intense
interest of all classes, the enthusiasm
of one country, the indignation of
another, and the proof which has
been given that, if the sovereigns
raise tempest, they will not be able
to lay it, must have its effect upon
every wise ruler, however exalted his
rank and extensive his power
