WENDELL PHILLIPS 'LECTURE.-The Sec
ond Presby terian Church was last night
filled in every part to hear the man who
has made himself infamously famous dur
ing the past thirty years, as one who never
knew peace save when he had every one
else in a turmoil. His subject was ostensi-
bly, the life oEDaniel O'Connell, but was
in reality an appeal for negro suffrage
Mr.. Phillips is fluent, easy and attractive
speaker, whose every tone and feature Is
indicative of com bativeness. With parts
of his lecture we were much pleased. He
spoke for about an hour, receiving there
for $50. 1t is rumored hewas anxious to
deliver his lecture on the present crisis; but
as he doesn't take much Grant stock, he
was prevented by the committee. We
don't know how true the report is, but it
is not unlikely. To meet the support of all
citizens, we would think the Young Mems
Christian Association would find it to their
advantage to engage lecturers who will let
the political prejudices of their audiences
alone, and who will keep in view the OBJ
ject of these lectures, the information and
instruction of the people. There have
been but two lectures of this kind this win
ter-that Of DR.. Lewis and of jos. Sulli-
want. They were instructive, and will be
remembered.

HOUSE OF REPREsENrArryEs.


Mr.. BOUTWELL,, from the committee to
report articles of impeachment against
President Johnson, offered a resolution
permitting the committee to report in
print. Adopted.
Mr.. MOREHEAD, from the committee
on Ways and Means, reported back Spaul-
ding's bill declaring the meaning of the
and spikes to be specific tax of five dol
lars per ton, which was passed.
The SPEAKER presented several COM
munications, including resolutions of the
South Carolina Convention, asking an ap-
preparation of a million dollars for the pur-
chase of land for freedman, &C., and OF the
National Commercial Convention, recent
ly held in Boston, on finance, taxation, &C.,
which were referred. A
The House went into committee of the
Whole, Mr.. SCHOFIELD in the chair, and
resumed consideration of sundry civil eX-
pense appropriation bills
While the bill was under consideration
the Speaker took the chair, and stated that
he had Just received from the Superintend-
ent OF the Metropolitan police letter sent
him from the Superintendent OF the New
York police, making so grave charge that
he did not feel justified in Withholding it
from the immediate knowledge of the
House. The letter read as follows:
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT
METROPOLITAN TOIICE,
NEW YORK, February 26, 1868.
To Major A. c. Richards, Superintendent
Metropolitan Police, W ashingtoi,, d. c.:
SIR: I have just been called on by Col.
T. p. Shaffner, President of the United
States Blasting Oil Company, with a re-
quest to look up five cans of nitro-glycer-
inc, which was delivered on an order from
regular customer, which order is now
pronounced to be a forgery. The quantity
OF the oil in the cans was about one hun
dred and sixty-five pounds. q quantity suf-
ficient to blow up the st. Nicholas Hotel in
| New York. He fears it may have been OBJ
tanned for some foul purpose, as he latterly
has had several applications by unknown
persons for the purchase of the article, to
whom he has refused to sell. owing to their
being strangers, and would not explain
satisfactorily the purpose for which they
| wanted it. He informs me that although
| it is given out that the stone walls of Clerk
enweil Prison were blown down with gum
powder. the material used was glycerine.
Now, sir. this 165 pounds has disappeared
| from New York, and if intended for, mis-
chief it is more likely for use in Washing
| ton than elsewhere. 1 give you this infor-
nation to put you on your guard.
Very respectfully,
F JOHN A. KENNFDY,
Superintendent Metropolitan Police.
When the paper was read, Mr.. NIGER
SOIL said: LET US abolish the MetrOpOl-
itan police, and see whether we will not
soon be blown up" [Laughter.l

A PLEASING AND Instructive SCENE
AS the Rev. w. NJ. Ferguson. of Guernsey
county, Ohio, has, on invitation of the Presi-
dent pro tenn. of the Senate, been officiating
as chaplain OF that body for the last week,
he was sitting on one of the sofas within
the bar few mornings since, surrounded
by bevy of his special friends, among
whom is Mr.. Flood, Clerk of the Senate.
who Is, as every one acquainted with him
knows, a jokist of the first water. At this
juncture the Hon. Samuel Galloway, with
whom Mr.. Ferguson had the famous diff
cu:ty in the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, at st. Louis year or two since, came
into the lobby. Mr.. Flood, seeing Mr..
Galloway, called him within the bar, and
in the most bland manner imaginable in
troduced to each other these late bell
ligerents. They approached, took each
others hand, and smiling, greeted each
other most cordially. This was pleasing
to see. But Col. Innis coming into the
chamber at this moment, not knowing what
had passed, reintroduced these gentlemen:
when Mr.. Ferguson, taking Mr.. Galloway
the second time by the hand, said: SO,
am well acquainted with Mr.. Galloway,
aud we are much better friends than the
public give us credit for" To which, Mr..
Galloway assentipg, replied "There is not
the least personal llfeeling on my part to-
wards Mr.. Ferguson" who replied: "Why,
ceraainly. Questions of a public character
should never create personal iH-feeling be-
tween those who ought to be friends" So
they parted with the best OF feelings, az
was evinced in the afternoon, when, at an
accidental meeting, they again cordially
greeted each other.
