CoLUNC;A, December l.
Att o'clock to-day the special order of the
nouse-to consider the joint rcsol' m relative to
the recognition Of the Republic Cuba by the
United States GOvernment-was cuId up. E-
lott, colored Adjutant General OF the State, who
introduced the resolution, had considerable TO
say in regard to It,; so did Ranser and other col
ored men, all taking the ground that the object
of the Cuban struggle was to free themselves and
their slaves from bondage. The few white men
who opposed the adoption OF the resolution took
the ground that it would Io no good, as the Uni
ted States officials knew what they were about,
and in due time would do what was best. Finally,
after long discussion, the resolution was adopt
cd By vote OF sevcnty-two to twenty'one. Ihe
colored men voted for it nearly TO man. or the
white Radicals who voted against it. 1omlinson
was the only prominent one Messrs. +. 1. Ciy-
burn, j. Z. IIagood, John i. Moore, William q.
Stewart, John Wilson and W. w. Waller, Demo-
Gratis voted against It, After its adoption De-
Large arose, displayed two boxes of percussion
caps and offered them rs his contribution 10 the
war material for the impending struggle. The
Speaker snapped him up by several strokes OF his
gavel, aud DcLarge shot in TO his seat.
The resolution was sent to the Senate and
taken up about three O'Clock. Leslie denounced
1t as claptrap, the work OF some rascaly con-
tractor OF the North, and expressed the opinion
that the author OF it would be In the State lunatc

thusiastic. Henri Rochefort, the newly elected
deputy from the First District OF Paris, was not
present. His name when called was received

PERSONAL GOVERNMENT AND ITS PASSIVE INsTRU-
AESTS UNTENABLE.
The London Times, in an article on French poll
tics, says:
Whatever divergence of opinion may weaken
the members OF the Opposition in the Corps Legls-
latif, they should work together TO overthrow the
men who have brought the government into dis
credit. There ought to be no compromise with
the passive instruments of personal rule. Posi-
bly, the present ministers may III be at the head,
but the Emperor Is accustomed to look upon his
power as built on the odds Of hundred to one.
For many years the Opposition in the Chamber
was composed only Of Favrc and four others. In
the face Of 1l6 Opposition votes, the Empcror's
position Is already untenable.

NATIONAL BoARD OF TRADE.

RICHMOND, December 2.
Mr.. TAYLOR, of St. Paul, Minnesota, moved to
amend the proposition so as to provide for rail-
rosd from San Diego, California, along the gene
raj route Of the thirty fifth parallel to Norfolk.
Mr. Wetherel OF Philadelphia, moved proviso
that the road be built without governmental SUBJ
sidy either in money or land.
Mr.. walbrldge, Of New York, offered as SUBJ
stitute resolution requesting Congress TO exer-
else whatever constitutional power 1t possesses
In the passage Of national railroad law, and
authorizing five grand trunk railroad freight
lines betw cen the Mississippi and the Atlantic
seaboard at such points as capitalists may guar
antee to commence and complete these under
takngs. He said that it was the intention Of
Congress before the war to have given the South
q Pacific railroad, but the rebellion had inter-
vened. Now that the country was as homoge-
neous as it had once been dscordant, the inten-
ton should be carried ont. If the South did not
get it now let it again and again present its petit
ton. The North intends II should have justice,
and 1t would getit.
Mr. Jefrreys, OF Philadelphia, endorsed what
the gentleman from New York said OF the feeling
at the North towards the South.
Mr.. Kirkland, Of Baltimore, opposed the idea OF
the government building the road. Many states
were interested in roads now built. and, for one,
Maryland would not be willing to see the govern
nent build road running parallel with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; still he would be
willing to see the government aid the Southern
Pacific Road II It had guarantees that the money
would not be squandered.
Messrs. Opdyke and Dove, Of Chicago; Caring
ton, of Richmond, and Chittenden, Of New York,
participated in the debate. Mr.. Chittenden said
that the mind Of the country was running away
about railroads. They would be gotten rapidly
enough for mercantile purposes without govern
nent building them. 1t was the flood Of railway
bonds upon the country that would financially
ruin it, [lond applsusel and the board could not
put itself more unfavorably on the record before
the world than by indorsing these government
railroad schemes.
The debate took o very wide range, and chiefly
consisted Of arguments and statistics to show the
superiority OF water transportation over rail, and
vice persa. After accepting an invitation for
trip on Friday by steamer to City Point and re-
turn by water, and an invitation to banquet to be
given by the Richmond merchants on Saturday
evening" the meeting adjourned.

G8- NOTES FOR DECEMBER, AD-
DRESSED TO THE FEEBLE AND DEBILITATED.
This is trying season for invalds, indeed for all
who are not blessed with robust constitutions and
iron frames.
Cold has come upon US suddenly, sealing up the
open pores, and sealing in, as 1t were, any seeds
of disease that may have been lurking In the sys-
TEN, but which remained undeveloped so long az
the waste matter OF the body and all acid and
unwholesome humors were freely discharged by
evaporation from the surface and through the
bowels.
tonic aperient and Alternative medicine is now
needed to invigorate the vital powers depressed
by low temperature; to stimulate and purify the
secretions, and to fit the body to endure, without
inconvenience pain or danger, the sudden cli-
matte change which ushers in the winter.
The only preparation which will fully meet this
almost universal need, and will thoroughly and
safely perform the important work, Is the leading
tonic and Alternative OF the age, H0STETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.
This popular specific improves the appetite, In
vigorates the digestive organs, regulates the now
OF bile, enrches the blood, calms the nerves, re-
leves constipation, promotes superficial circula-
tion and evaporation, and being composed solely
OF wholesome vegetable elements, with pure
stimulant as their difrusve vehicle, may be taken
by the weakest without fear. The flavor is agreea-
Bile, for although the Bitters are potent medi-
cine, they contain no nauseatng element.
