The petition which Senator Morgan presented
yesterday In reference to the establishment Of q
line OF steamers to ply between New York and
European ports, is one in which every American
should take an interest. We are deficient In
energy, and assurcdly lacking in pride, II we do
not desire It, The boast of England, and her
glory always, has been her supremacy of the
seas, and she certainly has earned the fame of
her craft sweeping over the ocean in every quar-
ter OF the globe. The red cross Of st. George has
been seen In every cline, and whilst the Ameri-
can merchantmen may be found also in unfre-
quented seas, yet to our shame we record II that
between New York and European ports we do
not possess one line OF steamers flying the Stars
and Stripes, and the subsidies for carrying the
United States mails pass into the pockets OF
strangers. All the mail steamers running to
Liverpool, London, Hayre, &C., ny foreign colors.
and New York, the great commercial mart oil
America, is daily humbly compelled to be the
witness Of foreign steamships entering and do.
parting, receiving the freight-monoys from heavy
manifest lists, and the subsidies allowed by Gov.
eminent for the trsnsport stion OF the mails. We
trust that Congress may take the matter in hand
Let sufiicient pecuniary Inducements be given to
steamship owners sufficient for them to start a
line, and we are satisfied, with those induce
ments, line win once more be placed upon the
ocean, one OF which we can be proud, and one
that Will resnlt prohtably, W. are confident to
those who may enter upon this truly nation a.

Senator Conness offered a joint resolution
which was referred 10 the Committee on Foreign
Relations, that the consent Of Congress be giveI
| to the acceptance OF Hon. Arson Burlingame
| American Minister to China, Of such civil ap
pointment as he may have received from the En-
peror OF China.

Hon. Fernando Wood, of New York, was
yesterday, by vote Of the House, censured by
the Speaker for saying, while speaking upon the
reconstruction bill, that 1t was IA monstrosity;
the most Infamous act of the many Infamous acts
OF this infamous Congress" He was called to
order by Mr.. Bingham, Of Ohio, when using
these words; and Mr.. Dawes, of Massaehusetts,
introduced resolutiop providing for the censure
OF Mr.. Wood by the Speaker, which, after A mo.
tion to table was lost, was agreed to by vote of
Ia yeas to IS nays.
Mr.. Wood was called up by the Speaker, and
he advanced to the front of the aisle and there
received the censure from Speaker Colfax Mr.
Colfax read an article from Mays Parliamentary
Digest In relation to the rules, and at the con
clusion directed Mr.. Wood TO resume his seat
Mr.. Wood desired to continue his remarks, hiI
request being greeted with derisiye Laughter
from the Republican side, but he said, as he re
sumed his seat, that "his defence would be be
fore the country" The affair created consIdera
BILE sensation at the time, many Of the senators
learning Of 1t, leaving their Chamber and an
pearing on the floor OF the House during the pro
ceedings, The galleries were crowded, and the
most intense interest was manifested by al
present.

Everything was arranged for the comfort and
convenience OF those who called, and there were
ample accommodations for ladies and gentlemen
to lay aside shawls, eloaks, overcoats and all
superhuous clothing The dresses OF the ladies
were OF all styles, color and make-from the plain
to the fancy, from the modest to the grand and
showy-and the scene in the reception parlors
was Of the most magnificent description. It was
at late hour ere the number OF guests com,
menced to dwindle down, and past the mid OF
night ere the last visitor had departed and the
lights that had flashed so merrily over the gay
throng had gone down in darkness and quiet
reigned supreme
