The principal point Of interest in the
Congressional proceedings since our last, IL
the passage by the Senate and House ofthe
bills admitting Nebraska and Colorado rs
States The President viii veto both bills,
and the vote by which they were passed Is
not considered strong enough to indicate
their passage over the veto.
The Ellsworth American relates that two
daughters Of J. w. Chamberlain, Esq.
narrowly escaped in their sleeping room
on Saturday night, week. One OF them
awoke and suddenly vomited freely. She
ran to the room Of her parents who found
the other daughter in deep stupor, so that
il was difficult to wake her. The cause OF
this was the escape Of coal gas from
stove in room below, tho damper ofwhich
had been closed by the drum. q

A Washington dispatch says in relation
to the District Suffrage bill. Gen. Grant
was present ut tho Cabinet meeting by re-
quest. lie took 10 part in the discussion.
At last the President asked his views. Gen.
Gran, replied very briefly, stating that the
objection which had been urged by one OF
the members Of the Cabinet, that Il was
unconstitutional because il DISTINGUISHED
rcbcls without trial. was in his estimation
the best part Of the bill and exhibited the
most wisdom. As for comforting suffrage
on the blacks in the District, he was oppos-
cd until the members consented to do it in
the States at their homes. Upon the arsu-
mcuts and principles involved in the ines
sage he uttered no opinion whatever.
We arc glad to sec the introduction Of
impeachment charges against the worthless
advcniurcr who has ''swung around tho
circle" % many times, md glad also that
an investigation is ordered; but there is a
certain limit at which policy, and not right,

the incumben, keep swinging. why, let him
swing; but to cut him down now would
relieve the copperhea,ls Of an enormous
load which they are obliged to carry. The
presidential barnacle has fastened upon
them, and the more they shake to get him
oil. the more he keeps his ''holt." Tic
cannot disgrace himself or the nation moro
than he has done, aud ss We have endured
him half his term. let him finish il, when
he will then he finished.
