PROCEEDINGS OF CONGREss- Congress is
still in session, but will probably adjourn to-
day. The time has been taken up almost ex-
clusively with the Ku-Klux, the Amnesty and
the Deficiency bills. The first named having
passed the House, on Friday, after long
debate passed the Senate, with amendments
The House on Saturday concurred in all the
senate amendments except that of Senator
sherman assessing damages to property on
the localities in which the outraees are com.
mitted. This was one of the most stringent
clauses of the bill. 1t is in proof says a
Washington letter, that the Outrages in the
South are largely committed by the class of
young men who own no property, and that the
most peacefully inclined are those who have
most to lose by disorders and war. Mr.. Skcr-
man $ amendment tended, therefore, to punish
the innocent Instead of the guilty, and, as
consequence, to prove Ineffective as well as I'm.
Just It's suspected and asserted that propertv-
owners lncte the young assassins and mauraud-
ers to the commission of their murders and
outrageS, but men are not to be punished on
mere suspicion. The bill was returned TO the
Senate again on Monday, and Mr.. Trumbull
novel that the Senate recede from the amend
ments non-concurred in by the House. The
motion was rcjcctcd-yeas, II; nays, SO.
MesSrs. Caldwell, Hill, Robertson, Schurz.
Trumboi and Wright voted with the Demo.
Graz !c from the amendments. An
amnesty bill passed the House on Monday Of
last week, by vote of l34 to 46. The bill ex-
cludes members of Congress who withdrew to
aid the rebellion, army and navy officers who
aided 1t, and those who voted for and signed
ordinances of secession. Ii has been tabled in
the Senate, 'aftera second reading, but will mass
before adjournment, it is thought. On Mon
day, in the HOUSE, the resolution offered last
week by Mr. Bell, of N. H., declaring that the
House disapproves of the nordinate taxation to
pay of immense sums of the national debt.
aud would limit the same for the principal of
said debt to $25, 100000, came up. Mr.. Cox.

! GRACE GREENWOOD S OPINION OF SMYRNA,
&C.-Mrs. Lippincott, since her return to
Washington, has written a short account OF her
trip to this town and ElktOn, to the \. \.
Tribune, for which she writes weekly letters:
From the Head of Elk | journeyed to
name of the prophet, figs only that there
was small profit, and no figs. 1t seems to me
that Washington might have slept all over this
town, so many of the houses have an ancient,
respectable, slumberous character. There are
| plenty of trees in the streets, and in the Sum
mer the place must have a quiet beauty of its
own. The country round about is wonderfully
productive of fruit, and is now like one sea of
lovely peach bloom. Here, also, | met nice
people, pleasant and kind, though | should say
not given to hasty hospitality. The most So
clable resident of the place, if you can " give
to airy nothing local hahitatOn aud name,
is a famous echo, which from a certain diapi
dated old mill diScOurseS across a bit Of marsh
in a Slngularly clear and emphatic manner.
Can one echo perform such prodige3 Of To-
quacity, | thought? May not the old mill be
haunted by the souls of model wives, and
polite Government journalists, and accommo-
dating Cabinet Ministers7
| On my Journey home, | had for my fellow
traveller an intelligent Delawarean, whom in
cOntlnently attacked about those ancient insti
tutlonS of his State-the whipping post and
plllOry. To my surprise, he Stoutly defended
them, saying they were terror to evil doers,
AID Infinitely more effective than fines and i'm
prlsOnments. He said that thieves were never
obliged to be whipped more than once, or
known to run their necks into the pory
second time. Yet, he said, these punishmcnts
were now inflicted in private, it having been
found that their public execution had de-
moIalzlng effect on the boys, who were apt to
indulge IN unseemly mirth, at the most solemn
caStlgatlon, and to collect about helpless cul-
prlt III the plllory, to taunt him, and pelt him
with mud, and certain trail, unSav0ry missiles.
But 1t struck me that if example were any
object, the more these frightlu punishments
were made, the better for young Delaware, and
that the dear boys everywhere might not be so
likely to bully their mothers and little sisters.
to torture poor stray dogs and throw stones at
helpless old mendicants, if they could be pro-
vlded with reasonable number of pillOried
plckets to chaff and worry and pelt with de-
Perforated eggs.
On the way my companion pointed out
lonely, dismal little house in the distance as
the scene OF a horrible wife-murder | asked
It the husband and father (the poor woman
left twin babies) made good end. NV friend
said he did. He also told me an edifying
story OF another homicide, who murdered
whole family, and burned them up in their
nome, yet who was so thoroughly converted in
prison, that just before he was hanged he said
he thanked God he had been led to commit his
trghttul concrete crime, because that had been
the means Of saving his soul. You see | am
interested in these little proofs of nineteenth
century enlightenment under the Law and the

THE TROUBLES IN FRANCE are from bad to

other almost as hard as they fought the Prus-

being subdued in the least. For over a week
lighting has been going on, and some of the
finest portions of Paris have been sheiled
Various reports come to America concerning
the encounters, one dispatch stating that the
Communists, or rebels, are defeating the govern

the regular troops are subduing the Com

have already murdered Gems. Lecompte and

proposition was laid before the Associa-
ton from the p w. & B. and Camden & Am

be taken from Middletown to Jersey City for
800 per car load, of 10000 lbs; from Dover at
500; and from other points at proportional
rStes-but In every instance proportion of the
Delaware State tax should also be paid by the
peach shippers. After much debate, and no
little confusion on the part of Messrs Townsend,
and Others the whole subject was recommitted to
the hands of the Executive Committee, with
Instructions that they shall see the officers Of
the aforesaid Rail Roads and make better ar
rangementS if possible, in reference to the
State tax - aud that they shall also make
arrangements for the transportation of berries
The berry, or small fruit interest, heretofore
has been entirely neglected fact which has
caused but little interest to be felt in the AS

A resolution was offered, which at first reflect.

which had laid an unequal and unjust tax upon
the Rail Road, thereby indirectly taxing the

was stricken out and MeSSrS. S. c. Biggs,
