Speaker, In accordance with 1t, proceeded TO
administer censure to Mr.. Wood, in the fol-
loving words --..-
"Mr. Fernando Wood Mays treatise on the
laws, privileges and usages of parliament
from which we derive the Fundamental princi-c
Piles OF our parliamentary law, in speaking OF
occurrences like that which has cansea the
vote the result of which has just peen an
nonnced, thus speaks: 1T is obviously unpe-
coming to permit offensive expressions against
the character and conduct of Parliament to
be used without rebuke, for they are not only
a contempt of that high court, but calculated
to degrade the legislature in the estimation of
the neople. If directed against the other
House and passed over without censure, they
would appear to implicate one House in dis
courtesy to the other; il against the House in
which the words are spoken, it would be i'm
possible to overlook the disrespect of one of its
own members. Words of this Objectionable
character are never spoken but in anger, and
when called to ORDER the member must see the
error into which he has been misled; he must
retract, and make satisfactory apology
Should he fail to satisfy the House in this
manner, he will be punished by reprimand
or by commitment
Having violated this, the universally recog-
nized rule of parliamentary law, the House
has ordered its censure to be pronounced upon
you by its presiding officer. This duty having
been performed you will resume your seat"
Mr.. Ross, of Illinois, inquired whether Mr..
w OOu, HhNibS pau tiliS pCHdity, Wdo hOb Ci-
titled to the balance of his hour.
1.-THE Speaker replied that the House had de-
cided otherwise.
Mr. Wood said he would like the House to
permit him to finish his remarks.
The Speaker said that could only be done
by reconsideration of the vote refusing to
let the gentleman proceed.
Mr.. Wood said-"Sir, shall finish them be-
for the ountry."
Mr. Bower, of Penn, moved that the gentle
man from New York, should have leave to
print his remarks
The Speaker said that would require the
unanimous consent of the House.
A unanimous objection came from the Re-
publican side of the House.
1t is said that the most intense excitement
was occasoned by these proceedings. Woods
course was universally condemned, even the
conservative papers of Washington censuring
him. The occasional recurrence of such scenes
would undoubtedly keep irascible members
within bounds, and in time make such "high-
toned old bummers" as Fernando Wood of the
present, and Lowell FL. Rousseau Of the last
Congress, quite Lord Chesterfelds.~ 1t will be
remembered that Rousseau was subjected to
discipline Of the same sort, and kept quiet ever

The feelings and the dig ,stion of the MAN
with the White Moustache" seem to have been
disturbed by his late defeat as Mayor of New
York, as will appear from the following pro-
c,edin9s in the course of the House debate ON
the new reconstruction bill on Wednesday:
Mr. Wood of New York arraigned several
acts done under the republican regime emu
merating the one under consideration as one
without title, child without a name, and
probably without a father, mOnstrosity,
measure the most infamous of the MANY infa-
nous acts of this infamous Congress.
Mr.. Bingham of Ohio made question of or
der on the last expression of Mr.. Wood.
The Speaker required the words excepted to
be taken down, and the expression was writ
ten out by the Globe reporter and read
Mr.. Ross suggested iocularly that Mr.. Wood
use the words SPECIALIZED" Loud laughter1
The Speak ruled that the expression ex-
cepted to was not in order, and had read by the
Clerk the 61st rule of the House to the effect
that when, if a member is called to order, the
decision be in his favor, he shall not be permit
ted to proceed in case any member object to
his doing so, without leave of the House.
The Speaker added that the gentleman from
New York had the right to proceed if no men,

Mr. Bngham-I object to his proceeding at

is right.
Tie Speaker again informed Mr. Wood that
if he desired to explain he had the opportunity
to do so.
Mr.. Wood rose and said-Mr. Speaker, l
have no explanation to give.
The Speaker-Then the gentleman can on
ly proceed with his remarks by the consent of
the House.
The Speaker put the question whether the
gentleman from New York should be allowed
to proceed, and there was an emphatic NO"
MI Eldridge of Wis, called for the yeas and
nays.
Ihe question was taken by yeas and nays,
and resulted, yeas 80, nays 108, so Mr.. Wood
was not allowed to proceed.
Mr.. Dawes of Mass. then moved the follow
ing resolution
ResolUed, That Fernando Wood. a member
of this House from the State of New York,
having this day used in debate upon the floor
of this House the following words:-"A mon
strosity, a measure the most Infamous of the
MANY infamous acts of this infamous Con-
gress," deserves therefor Il e censure of this
House, and the Speaker is hereby directed
forthwith to pronounce that censure at the
bar of the House.
Mr.. Eldridge moved to lay the resolution on

NEW HAMPSHIRE PoLITICs.-They are get
ting up steam in New Hampshire politics in
good earnest. Mr.. Sinclair, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has been in Washing
ton urging upon the President the judicious
distribution of patronage with view to car
rying New Hampshire in his interest. A
Washington correspondent says that the Pres
ident has assured him that he will use his in
fiuence in his favor, as he (Mr Johnson) re-
CARDS it Of very great Importance that the
spring campaign, previous to the Presidential
election, shall go against the Republicans, and
expresses a great deal of interest in the matter
The Navy-Ya at Portsmouth will be packed
with bogus voters. All We. sells of the navy
that need repairing will be sent there, for the
present, in order to have show of press of
work. In commenting upon this movement
the Concord Monitor makes use of the follow
ing energetic language:
Thanks to the Tenure of Office act, there is
not much that he can do in New Hampshire.
except in Portsmouth and in the way indicat-
ed by the Tribunes correspondent. And even
There, 1t we are resolute and active, no great
frauds can be perpetrated. All that could well
be done against us was done by the Secretary
OF the Navy last year. The best workmen in
the Navy Yard were dismissed for no reason
but their refusal to vote for Sinclair and Mar
cy. The Commandant of the Yard was
ordered to distant service for the same rea-
son; And this by man who during the war
could not be induced to remove the most fou,-
mouthed opponents OF the war-by a man who,
like johnson, owes his position and all that
he ever was-except his renegadism-to the
party he seeks to destroy
Let him try his game of packing with boz
gus voters" We defy him. The Republicans
of New Hampshire defy him, and scorn all his
efforts to defeat them by brides or proscrip-
ton. The people of this State have done and
suffered too much to save the country, to now
surrender it into hands lately raised to destroy
it. They foughr and conquered their own
rebels and Southern rebels during the war.
They have no thought of surrendering to those
rebels, whether at the ballot-box or elsewhere,
now. Let John G. Sinclair, the Secretary of
the Navy, and Andrew johnson all put this
IN their pipes and smoke it.
The Portland daily press., 1868-01-17
Anomalies Of the Postage Law.

Harper's Weekly in discussing the new pos
tai rates between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States, points out a difference between it
and our own postal laws. 1t says:
The new convention provides that the post
age on all book-packets sent between the two
countries shall be at the rate of six cents for
every four ounces; that the packages may be
two feet in length, and one foot in width or
depth; and that such matter shall be delivered
at its destination free of charge. A printed
invoice of the book packets or samples may be
affixed, and the names of the publisher or mer-
chant who sends them as well as of the per-
son to whom they are addressed may be SUI
prescribed in writing.
Now, for the postal laws of the United
States. The weight of book packages sent by
mail within the States must not exceed four
pounds; if it docs, it is charged postage at let
ter rates. 1t is charged at the same letter
rates If there be any writing upon the envel-
ope except the address of the person to whom
it is sent. Thus, a package which might
weigh twenty pounds may, under the new
convention, be sent from London to New York
for S4 80; while under our present Losta law
it would cost $40 20 to send it from New York
to Newark. A resident of Omaha or San
Francisco can thus buy and receive from Lon
don Latham's Johnson's English Dictionary
weighing ten pounds, for about one-half what
a Webster's Dictionary sent from Springfield
would cost him.
Again, our customs officers are not permit
ted to examine parcels received from England,
although they may examine those sent abroad
By the terms of the Convention, also, mo
charges whatever shall be levied in the coun-
try in which international newspapers, book
packets, and patterns, or samples of merchan
disc are delivered" 1t is easy, therefore to
drive profitable free trade in dutable arti-
cles. One boot may be sent across the Attain
tic as sample by this mail and its mate by
the next. Pattern horse-shoes may be sent,
as they actually have been, and at less cost
than If they paid regular freight charges and
duty added. And these are to be delivered at
their destination free of charge.
All that we ask is a fair chance for Ameri-
can industry and enterprise, and that foreign
manufactures shall not be positively preferred
by law to domestic interests. The anomalies
and absurdities that we have mentioned de-
mand swift remedy from Congress.

AN IMPROVEMENT TO BE.-we saw yester-
day at the Office of Mr. Chas Fl. Howe, arehi-
tect, plan of building that is to be erected
the coming summer at the corner of Congress
and Exchange streets. 1t is to be built by j.
NJ. Fluent, Esq, and W Il form an important
part in bringing this end of Exchange street,
and this part of Congress street, up from the
devastating appearance that they have hal
since the great conhagration. 1t will also be
large enough, and will present architectural
fronts on both these streets, orname ntal and
rich enough to correspond well with the City
Building,-with which, on account of its close
proximity, it will most always be brought into
view. This fine block is to be built of brick
and tree-stone, of the composite. style OF archi-
lecture, with French roof There are to be six
stores, on the first floor-four fronting on Con-
gress and two on Exchange street-all of which
will be large, as the building il lis feet long
and Sc feet wide. With the Freuch roof the
structure will be four stories high. The Sec
ond floor is calculated and planned exclusively
Tor offices, and it is to be so arranged that ev-
cry room will be we'll lighted, we'll ventilated,
and in fact have every convenience necessary.
The third and fourth stories are to be used in
one and the whole finished tor a large hail.
The stairways are to be broad and built at such
an angle that the ascension will be very easy.
We saw also another plan, by the same arch
itect, of building, which Mr.. Ray of New
York contemplates erecting this year on the
vacant lot on Exchange street, extending from
}. f. Land & Co.'S crockery ware store, to the
lot of Mr.. Fluent. 1t is to be block of four
stores, each having q frontage ON Exchange
street OF p feet. Two OF these will have a
depth of 119 feet, and the other two a depth of
so feet The front is to be almost entirely of
glass, with easements of iron, brick and mastic.
We understand that large wholesale firm are
nego aating to lease the whole Of the first and
second floors of this building if it is put up
this year.

SUICIDE IN BRIDGToN-The Star learns from
gentleman who resides in Bridgton that Mr..
Daniel Eastman of that town, living in what
is called the "New Limington District" killed
himself Tuesday morning.. The particulars
seem to be that he went to the barn about s
o'clock in the morning, and being gone an I'M
usual time his vile went out to look for him.
she found him lying in some hay and bleeding
from wound in his throat made by a razor
which he still held. The wife tried to get the
razor away from him, and in the attempt it
was broken. Mr.. Eastman then got out his
knife, and rallying all his strength, held his.
wife away with one hand and with the other
inflicted further wounds upon his neck which
caused his death before aid could be summon
ed. 1t was terrible affair, and no reasonable
cause can be assigned. He had recently been
witness in petty case between two neigh
bors, and it had troubled him considerably.
which is supposed to have led to this horrible
result. Decease was not far from sixty years
old, and amply provided with this worlds
wealth.
