Ia the Senate, on Monday last, message
Was received from the House of Representa-
tives, announcing its action upon the Tenure
of-O6ice act-disagreeing to the Senate's a.
mendments. Mr.. Trumbull moved that the
Senate insist on its amendments, and asked
for committee Of conference. Mr.. Grimes
moved that the Senate recede from it's amend
ments. Mr.. Garrett Davis followed in a long
argument in favor of Mr.. Grimes motion, and
was succeeded by Mr.. Trumbull, who con-
cluded his remarks by expressing the opinion
that the desire of Congress was to give the
President every power which he should have
as essential to an efficient administration Of
the Government, and if the Senate would only
approach this matter calmly, it could be set
tied harmoniously. He deprecated the efforts
which had been made to stir up strife and ri
valry between the two Houses. He believed
that with committee Of conference every
thing could be settled satisfactorily between
the two Houses, and the Executive left as free
as be could desire. Messrs. Morton and
Sprague spoke in favor of the entire repeal Of
the law. Mr.. Howard opposed repeal, but
was 10 favor of submitting the subject to
committee of conference. After further de-
bate Mr.. Grimes motion---to repeal the law
was rejected by vote Of twenty yeas to thir-
ty-seven nays, and Mr.. Trumbulrs PROPOSE
tion-to refer the subject to committee of
conference, was agreed to. -;
The COMMITTEES Of conference having re-
ported. both houses Of Congress on Wednes-
day. adopted the report, which is claimed to
Le virtually repeal Of tie law. So

OBITUARY.

Died, at the residence of her father, in this
county, on the 7th of March, after painful and
protracted illness, which she bore with chris
tian fortitude, MARY, beloved wife of Will
LIAM DUNNINGToN and daughter of JAMES F.
MADDOX, Esq, in the 2lst year of her age.
In Offering this feeble tribute to the memory
of her who has been taken from the midst of
a loving family and large circle of acquain-
tances, just in the beginning of her usefulness,
the writer feels incompetent to do justice to her
by all who knew her. Of kind and obliging
disposition, affable in her manners, devoted
wife and parent, an affectionate sister and
daughter, and true christian. A short time
previous to her death she called her mother and
said "Mother do not weep for me, l am going
to a better world" Her last words were, 81
am going home to die no MORE" On the
morning of her death she expressed desire to
see the Rev. Mr.. PROUT, who was Immediately
sent for but before his arrival the brittle thread
had snapped and she had ceased to exist. 1t
should be source of great consolation to those
who have been thus bereaved by the death of
this estimable lady, when they reflect how full
ly prepared she was to meet death, and that
their loss is her eternal gain.
"Weep not for her there is no cause of woe,
But rather nerve the spirit that it walk
Unshrinking DER the stormy path below,
And from earth's low deflements keep thee
back;
So, when few feet swerving years have flown
She'l II meet thee at heavens gate-and lead
thee on"

Reading Room and Circulating Library.
Mr.. EDITOR: IL was much grati6ed to
learn, whilst visiting your ancient town day
or two since, that the call to form Temper
ance Society was q decided success, and
have, ssiice that meeting, been still more gra-
tilted to learn that number of our young
men had determined to join this organization,
thus placing between themselves and tempt
alton barrier, which cannot be surmonnted
as long as one spark of nanliuess or self-re-
spect remains with them. The cause is a
worthy one and 1 bid it God-speed. But,
Mr.. Editor, do not think the evil of intem-
perauce, alas ! SO common among us, is to be
cured and thoroughly eradcated by Temper
ance Societies alone. The young and the
old, alike, require some relaxation, some So
cial intercourse, some occupation for the mind,
and in the absence of that of a more intellec-
tual and elevated character they gradually
become degraded to inebriation. Until this
great want, in our community is supplied,
fear our Temperance Societies will only be
able to effect q temporary check to, without
being able to eradicate the evil. Now, can
not this great want be supplied3 think it
can. II step by step We can elevate the in
tellectual land perforce the moral character
Of our young men, so do we remove them,
step by step, from the temptation to which
| the more ignorant and debase are, alas for
the frailty Of our common nature, more apt
to yield. How is this to be done? The pro-
cess seems to me very simple, and one, am
sure, would meet with entire appreciation and
success. Let these young men. who have
taken hold Of this Temperance movement
with so much energy, call a meeting for the
organization Of a Reading Room and Circu-
lating Library and, my word for it, success
will attend their efforts. Let the Reading
Room and Library, be a separate and distinct
Organization to which all may belong, wheth-
er members of the Temperance Society oil
not. Charge so much entrance fee-so much
quarterly contribution from each member
Fix the price so that all may join-rich and
poor, old and young. Appoint committees
seek subscriptions in money and books, and
you may be assured you will soon form the
nucleus of Library, which will be worth
morally, more than its weight in gold. Above
all, enlist in your behalf that "ministering
angel" dear woman, and success will crown
your efforts most speedily. might amplify
on this subject, Mr.. Editor, and show how,
in time, Debating Society, &C., in which
ambitious youths might ventilate their untu-
tored eloquence, but, as l do not want to
smother the bantling with too many swad-
ding clothes, will leave the matter 10 yours
and abler hands, provided you think these
hastily thrown together suggestions are wor-
ttthy 81 notice. ExcEIsIoR.

MR. EDITOR My attention having been
called to statement, which was copied from
your paper into the Prince Georgian Of re-
cent date, the effect Of which is to say, that
owing to certain promises made by Governor
Bowie, our County Commissioners had decid-
ed to give to the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad the States appropriation to this
county, which was intended to be used by
the county to aid her generally in works of
internal improvement. If our worthy Com
missioners had so decided prior to the day
fixed by them for our County Convention to
assemble in order to settle this question, then
why not SO notify our citizens, in order that
they might not be called together to settle a
question which, from this statement, had
been previously settled by our Commissioners
and Governor Bowie? My object in troubl
ing your readers at this time with any views
of nine is, as citizen of Charles county, to
ask you to make known my humble protest
against any such disposition of this fund. 1t
is we'll known to US all, that long before the
State made any appropriation to this county,
a contract had been made by Gov. Bowie,
President of the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road, with parties non-residents Of our State,
and that great fears and doubts were enter
tanned by many of US as to whether those
parties did really intend to build the entire
line from Baltimore to the Potomac or not; or
did they intend to use the charter to only
build a road to Washington. This subject
was fully ventilated before the General As
sembly of the State at the January session of
1867, at the time Governor Bowie was State
Senator from Prince Georges county. 1t
was then and there stated before the Senate
and the form of bill brought forward from
the committee of which Gov. Bowie was
member, think, that this party (the Penn
sylvania interest would agree to build the
entire line from Baltimore to the Potomac, or
forfeit the charter and all rights Of the con-
tracing parties in this work to the State !;
and upon this condition, and no other, the
Legislature at that session declines to inter-
ere in any way with the charter. The fears
then expressed and entertained by many were,
that the Pennsylvania interest only desired to
use this charter as cover to get to Washing
ton; and the following memorial, with bill
covering the views, was presented to the Le-
sslature at the session above referred to-
"Whereas. the General Assembly, on the
9th day Of May, 10 the year of 1858, passed
an act to incorporate the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad Company, for the purpose of
constructing railroad from a suitable point
in or near the city Of Baltimore, and thence
within one mile Of the town of Upper Marl-
borough, in Prince Georges county, and by
or near the town of Port Tobacco, in Charles
county, to point on the Potomac river. not
higher up than Liverpool point and not low
or down than the mouth Of St. Mary's river.
