LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1S71.-The Senate
bill to repeal the test-oath was reported in
the House to- day, and but for the delay
imposed by the carpet-bag element, who
brought up the usual TRADE Of alleged out.
RACES, and talked vehemently about the
doors being opened for the prescription OF
"loyal" men, ETC., would have passed.
The probability is that it will go through
tomorrow, and the indications also point
to the impression that it will be the only
amnesty bill of this session. While 1t is
ardently opposed by certain ranting carpet
baggers, it is advocated by leading Repub-
licans, and such men as Farnsworth and
Bingham give it earnest support. Butler
intimates he will have very little to say on
the subject.
This bill, while it does not effect those
disqualified by the 14th amendment, never
theless relieves thousands in the South. To
Representative Beck, of Kentucky, the
credit belongs of working most assiduousiy
in committee and before the House to bring
the matter to its present shape. '2@SSat

Mr.. Maynard, of Tennessee, argued
against the bill as, in effect, repeating the
test-oath act. He hoped the House would
hesitate before taking so important, so
fundamental, and so irrrevocable step.
Mr.. Marcy argued as to the consistency
of abolishing the test-oath for those who
could not take it, and retaining it for those
who could.
Mr.. Farnsworth took like view of the
absurdity and incongruity Of the bill.
Mr.. Porter, OF Virginia, argued against
the policy of a measure Which would
throw open appointments to public office
to ex-rebels. He wanted rather to see
some legislation to protect the loyal people
of the South.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, favored the bill
as a step towards reconstruction and recon-

BLENDING AFFECTION AND FCOHOMY.-A
curious change of domestic relations occur
red in the town Of Orange, Mass, five or
six Years ago. Two Young men, ncighbors
aud friends, says the Boston Tr0UcLler, had
married two young and amiabie women,
and each couple had lived together happily
for Il few years, each having one or two in
FAINT pledges Of affection in the meantime
vouchsuled to them. AT the time spoken Of
six years ago., one Of these friends and his
friends wife took sick, and died within Il
week or two of each other. The friends,
during their life. had secured adjoining lots
i'll the cemetery Of the town, and when the
deceaSe OF the parties mentioned took place
they were buried in their respective lots,
but in such way that Il monument could
be erected between them.
Whether this was accidental or not. Is not
related. About five months after the doll-
BILE decease, however, the surviving male
and female representatives OF both houses,
somewhat to the surprise OF the neighbors,
concluded 10 pcrpctuate the former friend
ship by closer alllance-in other words.
they got married, and their wedding was Il
splendid affair. After timc-abollt three
years ago--the united representatives OF
both houses concluded q joint arrangement
TO show their love fer the dead by erecting
Il splendid marble monument-the finest in
the ccmctcry-On one OF the faces Of which
the'name, age, and virtues Of the dead hus-
band were set forth, on the other face those
