had betrayed the people and joined Mr.. Kellogg.
On the same evening an immense mass meeting was
held at the Clay statue and the caucus was de-
nOunced in the severest terms. The names
of some of the members were men,
toned, and cries Of " Hang them!'

The result was that on Monday there great hes

action On Tuesday. the Committee seeing no sign
of being able to effect an arrangement, left for

found dispatch from leading Conservative SEN

wAsuryGroS Feb l4-The House was In a
o+ranoe mood when it met yesterday morning. At
tho adjournment on Friday evening the previous
onestion had been ordered upon bill to relieve
loval creditors The history of this claim is very
interesting After the breaking out of the war, the
Confederate" Congress ordered the coniscation OF
debts due to Northern creditors, and receivers were
onno;nted 10 collect the amounts and pay them into
the Confederate Treasury. The amount thus con-
fscated was more than S1,000000 When New
Orleans was captured, there was found ID some OF
the banks of that city the sum of $2OS,239' winch
stood to the credit Of the Confederate receivers,
never having been paid into the Treasury Ihls
money was sent to the Secretary OF the treasury In
this eity with letter setting forth the facts and
stating that it was fund out of which the loyal
creditors whose claims were confscated should be par
tally reimbursed pro rata according to the amount
of their claims. The money was actually covered
into the Treasury In the last Congress bill iden-
tioo, with that under consideration yesterday was
rassed nv the House almost without opposition,
and sent 70 the Senate where it was favorablY re-
ported bv the Committee on Claims and went upon
the calendar but was never reached.
The bill was reported in Committee OF the whole
on Friday and agreed TO by large majority. Wheh
il came up in the House Mr. Giddings OF Iexas
opposed it on the ground that the creditors had IN
many cases collected their claims since the war; ana
that if tins money was to be paid to anybody IL
should be to those from whom it was collected Inc
oppssition on Friday was very weak, hardly enough
to call the Yeas aud Nays. Yesterday morning the
Border State men, who think that their constituents
have been very unjustiy treated by Mr. Lawrence
who is Chairman of the Committee on War Claims
had formed combination to beat the bill, Drinci-
paIlv ON account of their dislike for Judge Law

HEmile de Girardin has been preaching on
the same theme, for in an article on the
perpetuity of political enmities he has
contrasted the prolonged hostility OF
France to England, and the grievances on
which it was founded, with the hearty CO.
#operation of the two countries in the Grim
lean war, and the good understan ding
which has prevailed between them ever
since. The conclusion intended to be
drawn is that the Prussian invasion nc
more justifes hostility to Prussia than the
English invasion does hostility to Eng.
land. But there is just this difference
that ill-usage of four centuries date is less
keenly felt than grievance only FIVE years
old. The meeting however, was evidently
disposed msgnanimously to put aside al
such feelings, and carried a resolution t.
the effect that war was injurious to pro
gress, and did not permanently decide diff
4 culties between nations, and that arbitration
was o practical, rational, and economic
means of settling them.

Some time since English capital was
dispatched to this country and invested IN
iron lands in Georgia. Other Investments
have been reported in other States, and
some of them have been contradicted but
it would seem from recent Tennessee ad-
vices that one at least of the enterprises
located in that State is established on a
large scale. The location is near Bridge
port, Coke county. This is in the extreme
east, on the western flank of the Alleghan-
les, and near the French Broad river. The
Wilmington and Charlotte Railroad is ad-
vancipg thither through Asheville, and
branch of the East Tennessee and Virginia
road is being constructed to meet it, 80 that
the section has no other communication
than is furnished by the rivers. The pop
uation is scant; the soil good.
Here the new Company of Stockton-up-
on-Tees have more than one hundred
thousand acres of iron lands in scattered
divisions, and half rs much of coal. The
iron is of different qualities; the coal is
said to be good, in veins of thirty feet,
and Il lumber is not only abundant but
will furnish incidental profit from the
tannin to be gained from chestnut bark.
The factories and furnaces are to be erected
few miles above Bridgeport. The region
belongs to that great and wealthy section
that, skirting all of Western Virginia,
crosses all of Eastern Tennessee, and
reaching into Georgia and Alabama, has
already gained new life since the war;
and is every day adding to it's Importance.
The enterprise is very welcome. Eng
lsh capital and English knowledge and
Skill are finding employment in this very
direction in Northern China, in India, in
Africa, and in Australia. Neither the one
nor the other combines so many induce
ments, as this country offers and the
great competition that is to occur for gu
premacy in iron production and fabrication
will admit all the capital and labor here
that seek admittance.

SWIFT AMONG THE LAwYERs.-Deau
Swift having preached an assize sermon in
Ireland, was invited to dine with the
Judges; and having in his sermon consid-
cred the use and abuse of the law, he then
pressed little hard upon those counsel
lors, who plead causes which they knew
in their conscieuces to be wrong. When
dinner was over, and the glass began to
go round, young barrister retorted upon
the dean and after several alterations,
the counsellor asked him, "If the devil
found, who, for money, would preach his
funeral :" EYES," said Swift, 81 would
gladly be the man, andI would then give
the derH his due, as 1 have this day
done his shildren.''

priest many years ago heard the confession
of a murderer, who. on leaving the confes-
sional either accidentally or purposely
dropped a blood. stained handkerchief at
the pastors feet. 1t was found and being
discovered to be that of the victim, the
poor priest was instantly arrested, and re.
fusing to reveal anything that he had heard
in the confessional, he was banished TO-
Siberia, where he passed fifteen years of
his life in the most terrible climate imagin-
able and amidst shocking deprivations. A
few months ago the murderer died and
DToved the innocence of the priest, who,
F peINSu than disclose the secret he had re-

suffer exile. The worthy father mas lett

of justice to the kindness OF Prince Dou-
