CONGRESSMAN BINGHAM.-One can see,
writes correspondent Don Piatt), that q
joke can be got into this gentleman only by
surgical operation. He is calm as cow
pen, and solemn as gate-post. With him
life is real, life is earnest, and he sails over
its sombre main in search of those foot
steps that the shipwrecked brother has left
as a testimonial and legacy, to take
heart again, or words to that effect. His
solemn countenance is 80 written over
by the lines of thought that it looks as il
a bewildered straddle- bug, dipped in
ink, had run furiously over it, while
the lofty forehead appears as if it were
retiring into the brain for further rehec-
ton. His big gray eyes CLEAN at you as il
saying, {" l am my fathers ghost" while
the few grizzly locks hang over his head
like the nodding plumes Of battered
hearse. In word, Bingham is condensed
funeral, end when he says, in deep sepul-
chral tones, that come bushwhacking up
from the unknown recesses Of his stomach,
that "about US are the gathered wisdom OF
thousand, and lifc's solemn main iB pom
TONED with honorcd graves" we SILVER,
and wish Bingham would 60 and order a
metallic casket, and have done with it.

O4THs UPON OATHs.-The iron-Clad

OATHs UPoN OATHs.-The "iron-clad
oath ~ which Congress long ago enacted
seems destined to cause quite as much in
convenience to the public interests as TO
those who are deprived by it from taking
office. The Postoftice Department continues
to be in quanjary about 1t, there being
many pcst-ofice towns in the southern States
in which nobody can be found who is able
to take it. So unanimously dc the southern
people seem to be averse to perjury that the
Post-otlice Department is compelled to apply
to Congress for relief, and q bill, introduced
by Mr.. Norris, is now before the House
committee on reconstruction providing for
the appointment Of postmastcrs IN places
where nobody will swear the iron-clad
OATH" According to this bill, the fact must
be established, in the first place, to the
satisfaction of the Postnaster-General that
" no person can be procured to act as post
master for such office " who will take the
oath in question. And the bill expressly
provides how he shall be satisfied OF this.
Ii is to be done by more swearing" atil-
davits to be filed and preserved" First, ell
the inhabitants Of such village are to be
asked to swear the iron-clad oath and take
the post-ofice. Upon the refusal Of every
one to do SO, all of the inhabitants are to
be asked to swear that none Of them con or
will swear the said oath, and all the oaths
that no such oath can be taken are to be
"filed and preserved" by the United States.
Then, and then only, the Postmaster-Gen-
eral may look out for some "loyal," well
disposed" and, in other respects, I" not dis
qualified person for postmaster.
Here is circumlocution with vengeance,
and the more there is of it the greater are
the embarrassments which are disclosed. The
New York Evening Post, a leading Republi-
can journal, suggests that a simple repeal
of the iron-clad oath would solve all these
difficulties, and speaks OF the oath itself as
ga mere sieve to catch men with con-
science, and to let men through without it.
1t ought to be called q law to prevent men
of truth and good repute from holding any
Office in the States lately in rebellion"

WAsHISGToE, February 20.-1t seems
that the officials at the capital consider the
Presidents signature not necessary to the
joint resolution proposing amendments to
the Constitution.
The bill removing the officers in Virginia,
Texas, and Mississippi, after thirty days,
who cannot take the oath of July ID, 1862,
Except those relieved from political disa-
bilities,) is law without the Presidents
signature.
The Reconstruction Committee was in
session to-day. 1t has not acted on the
Senate's amendments to the bill removing
political disabilities passed Monday. The
erasures of names recently alluded to were
those made by individual members of the
committee or by the subcommittee. The
whole bill will be oyerhauled in full COM
mittee before it is presented to the House.
The President has nominated George W.

New York Money Market.

New YORK, February 20.-Monday the
22d) will be observed as general holiday
in financial and commercial circles.
The ease in money to-day was very
marked. The offerings were very large,
the banks and moneylenders being anxious
to make the interest over Tuesday. The
extreme rates of interest paid were 4 to I
per cent, while the bulk Of transactions
were made at 5 to 6 per cent.
The bank statement is regarded as unfa-
vorable. The loss of specie is attributed to
the great demand for customs during the
week, and the heavy decrease of deposits is
attributed to the falling off in loans, specie,
and legal-tenders.

WoMAy's RIGHTs.-The World, under

"When q Woman's husband is absent on

gave her to support her in victuals and
clothes during his absence, or if her hug
band went on journey without leaving
anything with her to support her expenses,
she shall support herself by painting, by
spinning, or some other employment. If q

divert herself by plays, nor shall see any
public show, nor shall laugh, nor shall
dress herself in fine jewels and fine clothes,
nor shall see dancing, nor hear music, nor
shall sit in the window, nor shall ride out,
nor shall behold anything choice and rare !;
but shall fagten well the house door, and
remain private, and shall not eat any dainty
yictuals, and shall not blacken her eyes
with eye powder, and shall not view her
face in mirror she shall never exercise
herself in any such agreeable enjoyment
during the absence of her husband. So
long as woman remains unmarried her
father shall take care of her; and in her old
age her son shall take care Of her; and
if before o woman's marriage her father
should die, the brother or brothers son, or
such other relations Of the father shall take

REJECTION OF THE \

ENGLASD-THE REJECTION OF THE ALA
BAMA TREATY.
LONDON, February 2o.-The journals
this morning comment on the rejection Of
the Alabama treaty by the United States
Senate.
The Standard Conservative regrets the
rejection, and says advances for q new
treaty must come from the United States.
England is now unfettered from past con-
ceskions, and hereafter will only treat on
terms Of absolute equality.
The Times says the present treaty testl-
fed England's amity. Its failure does not
endanger the peaseful relations of the two
countries, but rather serves as q warning
for new convention.
The Post Conservative regrets the re-
lection only on account Of the delay it will
csusas
