WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
In the Senate, to-day, the Tariff
Bill vas under discussion, but there
were no important results.
The House has been the scene of
a protracted struggle, and is still in
session at 10 O'Clock to night. The
galleries have been crowded, and no
inconsiderable excitement has pre-
vailed on the floor. The occasion Of
this was the reporting of the bill by
Mr. Boutwell,, from the Judiciary
Committee, declaring it to be rule
of all courts of the United States,
that any person guilty of treason,
murder, bribery, or other felony, or
who had given aid, comfort or coun-
sci to the enemies of the United
States, or who had engaged in rebel
lion against the United States, shall
not be allowed to practice in said
courts The judges of the courts
are to pass upon all charges, alledg-
ing that any attorney is barred
by the provisions of this act, and are
to exclude such persons from prac-
tice
After speech of few minutes in
which he severely denoances the Su-
preme Court. declaring that it had
not respect enough to protect itself
from contamination with traitors,
Mr. Boutwell, demanded the previous
question, and cut off all debate, re-
fusing to yield but thirteen minutes
to the Democratic side.
The Democrats thereupon de
manded that there should be more
time, and commenced making dilato-
ry motions on which the yeas and
nays were ordered.
At Al o'clock, the House becom-
ing exhausted, found itself without a
quorum. A calIsof the House was
ordered, and about ferty members
were brought in under arrest and
fined for being absent.
The proceedings occupied four
hours, and was accompanied by
some very amusing scenes.

H What rebels Konld do 10

H What rebels would do to our
Union soldiers, if they had the power,
may be learned from the statement be-
low, copied from the Cincinnati Ga
zette's Washington correspondence
To talk of such men being fit for the
restoration of all their rights Of govern
ment, equal with the loyal portion of
the country, is suicidal to the country's
best interest and prosperity. And yet
these are the men our Democratic
brethren are laboring to return to
power:
The Attorney General has sent to the
House an opinion upon the case of
Amos B. Morris, late private in the
124th Illinois Regiment. 1t appears
from the papers that Morris was detail
ed for detective duty, in November,
1862, by order of Gen. Grant, and re-
manned on such duty until July, 1865.
During that time, and in accordance
with the instructions OF Gen. Grant in
such cases, he took from citizen, two
tents believed to be the property of the
United States, and turned them over to
the Provost Marshal. He now stands
indicted, and is under bail in the sum
of S3, ,000. to appear for trial before the
civil courts at Yicksburg, Mississippi,
for stealing these tents. The United
States Marshal of Mississippi brought
the matter to General Grants attention,
and he referred the papers to the Sec
retary of War, with the endorsement
that Mr.. Morris had obeyed his instruc-
tons and should not be held response
bic to the civil courts. Mr.. Stanton
asked Mr.. Stanbery's advice as to the
proper course to pursue to procure Mr..
Morris release. The Attorney Gen
eral says the facts bring his case within
the protection of the 4th and 9Th sec
tions of the habeas corpus act of March
8. 1853, and advises him to make that
aot his defense. incidentally, in his
opinion, he says the ex-rebels are
bringing many suits of this character
against loyal men.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
The Tariff Bill came up at one
O'Clock.
Mr.. Sherman made q long and eX-
haustive speech on the subject. He
took the ground that it was useless
to talk OF free trade or protection
now; that the demands Of the Gov
ernment regulated the question en-
tirely. There were 4 hundred and
forty millions of dollars in gold per
annum to be raised, and the true eb-
ject of the bill was to accomplish this
object.
Mr.. Fessenden said it was his ex-
perience that it would not do to let
tie manufacturer make the tariff
He had learned this from interviews
with manufacturers when the bill was
in committed
The bill was debated until FIVE
O'Clock. Several amendments were
offered, but all we're voted down, and
the disposition seems to be to pass
the bill a. it stands.
The House remained IN session all
night, and took recess from eight
O'Clock this morning until IL, with
the understanding that the Demo
Gratis should have one hour in which
to debate the bill to prohibit United
States Courts from allowing any one
to practice before them charged with
treason, bribery or corruption. The
minority, therefore, gained the point
for which they tilibustered all Of
yesterday and last night.
The arrangement was carried cut
fully.
Messrs. Niblsck, Finck, Boyer and
Rogers consumed the hour in oppss-
ing the bill, whcreupon it vas passed
by yeas 109, nays IL.

~ One ofthe benefits of the aboli-
ton OF slavery is seen in the diYersif-
cation of Southern labor. In Georgia
alone they are now building seventy
two Cotton and Woolen mills. Under
the old system the surplus capital OF
the States went into land and negroes;
now it is industry, that will build up the
villages and elevate the laboring popu-
lation, scatter money among the people,
and education and comfort, where ig-
norance and destitution have prevailed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
The House to-day had very spirit.
ed debate on the impeachment move
ment, on the motion made by Mr..
Loan, of Missouri, to refer the whole
matter to special committee, in or
der that the investigation, might be
hastened.
Mr.. lie Blond, of Ohio, said he
challenged the Republicans to go on
with the investigation, and dared
them to report an impeachment.
Mr.. Wentworth said he must 90
on, or those who ordered it would be
put in the position OF backing out of
it in the most cowardly manner.
Mr.. Wilson OF Iowa, Chairman Of
the Judiciary Committee, declined
to say what they were doing, and
contradicted in toto the statement
made in newspapers purporting to
give the details of the investigation.
He virtually sustained the correctness
OF these dispatches, which have all
along declared that not a witness
had been snmmoRd or one examined.

AN ANTEGAMBLING SERMON
The Rev. 7. ID. Talmage, of Phila.
delphia, preached a few evenings
since sermon at his church in which
he depicted in eloquent though scath-
ing terms, the great moral sin of
gambling, in its various and de-
PRAYED phases and tendencies. The
following are some of the points
touched upon in his discourse
"The Church of God has not been
willing to allow the world to have
all the advantage Of these games of
chance. The church fair opens, and
towards the close it is found that
some of the more valuable articles
are unsaleable. Forthwith, the con.
ductors of the enterprise conclude
