The House Committee on Foreign Affairs are
about presenting a bill with the following provi-
sions: 1st This Government does not and Will not
recognize the doctrine of natural allegiance. I'd.
That person of foreign birth, naturalzed accord
ing to our laws acquires all the rights and prlvl-
lepes OF a native born citizen, except such as are
denied by the Constitution in prescribing the
qualifications for President and Vce-President
3d. The United States owes the same protection
to it's naturalzed citizen as to the native born.
bill was introduced yesterday by Windham, to
amend the act for the government OF the rebel
States and to facilitate their restoration. Itamends
section five of the act Of March 2, 1867 so as to
provide that, if according to the returns in each
State constitution shall be ratified by majority
Of the votes of the registered electors qualified as
specified in the bill, the President Of the Constu-
tioral Convention shall transmit copy of the
same duly cert ified to the President of the United
States, anu IL Sudu py DO Aou DNANAN OO--oN-'

ton.

The Southern Railroad Committee resumed work

The Clerk of the House has been ordered to pay

integrity and patriotism Of General U. s. Grant,
and believing that his political principles are in
consonance with those Of the Republican party,
and grateful for the services he has rendered to
his country, in every post of duty to which ne has
been called, We do hereby nominate him as the
candidate of this League for the office OF Presl-
dent of the United States.
The London Times praises the House for It's re-
fusal to impeach the President. 1t fears, however
that the President will accept the action OF the
House as new endorsement of his policy, and
from this concludes that the hope OF sound re-
const ruction must be deferred.

The Vote ON impeachment.

The men who cast their votes in favor OF the
impeachment of the President are destined, says
the Wilmington Journal, to become as famous in
history as the man who fired the Temple OF Del
phos and for no better or more noble deed. The
Radical strength in the House is one hundred and
forty-fye. Of the absentees, but three took occa-
sion to make known the fact Of their favoring the
resolution There must, therefore, be eighy-fiye
Radicals opposed to impeachment, considerably
over half their number. How can men longer
doubt the wholesome effect of the Northern cleo
tions.

Mr.. Twitchell.
Mr. Myers, Of Pa, said as he was refused per-
mission to offer resolution of censure he would
vote yea.
Mr.. Miller, of Pa, said he voted no because the
evidence was not sufficient to justify impeach-
ment.
Mr.. Eldridge said he voted no for the same
reason.
After the vote was announced motion to re-
consider and another motion to lay the latter on
the table prevailed, thus preventing resurrection

The dreary chill upon the air.
Conveyed strange mysterious fear,
That death was on the twilight dew
Or on some gentler heart we knew.
Twas not the hush Of the curtained bed,
Nor usual parting Of the thread
When love might close the rayless eye
And Friendship sit in silence by;
But just as if, by sudden stroke.
The golden bowl we loved had broke.
And so 1t was. for some wise end,
The Lord had called the trucst friend
My trust had known; companion tried.
One instant lived, another died.
His lamp was trimmed-he walked upright,
Beneath its soft and steady light;
The Christians seal was on his brow.
The Christians hope is with him now.
"Thy will be done," and may Thy grace
Confirm tile faith in that lone place.
Within the heart he only filled.
Remember how thy voice hath stilled,
The broken wave of Gallee,
For those who trusted all in thee. L. G. N.
