"Wcll. Tilly, shall we go and see this
charming Miss Lansie. or whatever her
beautiful name may be ?" Mrs. Hastings
had said when the evening work was
done,
Matilda had burst into tears at that, and
there was an end of it, fol the effect OF
tears. let poets say what they will, is Meth
er advanta gcous to the spirits nor the
face In vain Mrs. Hastings had said,
"D0n'. mind child-the course of true
love never did run smooth--it will all be
ri yht next time. " The more she had
tried to comfort the poor girl the less she
had been comfortcd aud so they sat in
gloomy silence when the gay voice, of the
approaching visitors arrested their atten-
ton.
The rose was gone from Matilda's hair.

more lighthcarted than she was; she was

and thoughtlessly almost as the bird sings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.
Wentworths Corruption Committee creates moro
amusement than apprehension developments go
to show that two enterprising newspaper men en-
gineercd the thing. The primary object is a big
item. Congressman were approached and encour-
aged to visit the President, to whom the fresi-
dents views seemed moderate, and showed in
tense anxiety to harmonic the country, and moth
ing more. The interviews were social and free,
officially binding neither party. The President
is represented as utterly opposed to Congressional
interference with State elections.
Sumner made an Intellectual effort to disinter Ell
iott's bill when, after an executive session, the
Senate took recess.
In the House, Shermans substitute was consid-
cred. Stevens moved to non-concur, and asked
for q Committee of Conference. Boutwell, spoke
in opposition to Sherman's substitute, and COM
plained that the bill gave more power to the Pres
ident and functions of reconstruction to the rebels
We ought to-rcmove from the reconstruction busi-
ness in South Carolina the. .orrs, Pickens and
Magraths. The bill leaves the work open to any
one who may chose to engage in it. We trust
rebels with the work of reconstruction, of which
we are afraid or incapable.
Stokes opposed it, because he saw in it univer-
sal amnesty and universal suffrage. He did not
understand language if it did not enfrauchisc
every rebel in the South. He preferred the defeat
of the congressional reconstruction measure to
this bill.
Stevens took ground that the bill usurpcd the
power of future Congress, and afterwards veI-
tilated his usual bitterness against the President
and the Southern people.
Blaine favored the bill, contcnding that it gave
no more rights than Congress. gave Tennessee
rebels.
Bingham nia'de bitter hit at Stevens showing
that there was not single feature in the, bill
which was not one time or other favored by the
Reconsti uction' committee.
Schenck, of Ohio, favored the bill as the only
thing possible. After further argument, Blaine
demandcd the previous question, which was Sec
onded-the vote stood 81 64. A motion that the
whole subject be tabled, was negatiyed-4tto liz.
