CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
SFNAT TIE.


In the Senate, this week, but little of
interest has transpired. A resolution was
agreed to, calling for copies Of correspon-
dence with foreign nations in relation to
the Centennial Exposition. The creden-
tials of James b. Eustis as Senator from
Louisiana were presented. Mr.. Conover
submitted bill providing for a uniform
duty on sugar without regard to grade or
standard, which was referred to the Finance
Committee. The bill in relation to the
Freedmens Saving and Trust Company
was passed. A resolution was passed au-
thorizing the examination of a building at
Columbus, Ohio, to be donated to the Gov
eminent for the establishment of a United
States Mint, to see if it was fit for the pur-
pose.
The slow work that the House commit
tees are making with the preparation of
the Appropriation bills is causing remark,
and is held to be indicative of session
prolonged far into Summer. None of the
largest bills have yet been considered. The
Pension bill is passed with no reduction
from the estimates of the Department.
Mr.. O'Bren, of Maryland, presented a
bill for a Postoffice building in Baltimore.
He also proposed an amendment to the
Constitution providing that no State shall
make any law respecting an establishment
of religion or to prohibit free exercise
thereof; that no minister or preacher shall
hold any office of trust or emolument under
the United States or any State Government,
nor shall any religious test be required as
a publication for any office in any State
or the United States. 1t also forbids the
appropriation of money to sectarian schools
or institutions of learning.
Mr.. White, of Kentucky, moved sus-
pension of the rules to bring the House to
vote on the Amnesty bill introduced by him,
from the benefits of which jefferson Davis
is exclude, and also to vote on an amend
ment striking out that exclusion. The res
olutiou to suspend the rules was lost-yeas
165, nays 110-less than two thirds voting
in the affirmative. This puts an end to the
bill. Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, moved
suspension of the rules to adopt a resolu-
ton declaring it ineXpedient to fix a time
at which the legal tender notes should be
paid, and that the act providing for a re-
sumption of specie payment should be re-
pealed. An amendment to the Cousttu-
ton, directing that no person who mas held
or may hereafter hold the Office of President
shall ever again be eligible for said Office
was made the order for Tuesday next. The
Centennial Appropriation bill came up,
and was advocated by Mr.. Hopkins of
Pennsylvania, Chairman Of the select com
mittee. Mr. Waddcll of North Carolina,
advocated the bill in an earnest speech
He said the soldier element of the late con-
federacy, of which he was one. had not
entered into the late irritating debate. The
bill was debated, but, without action, the
House Adjourned

You kissed me! my head drooped low on your breast,
With a feeling OF shelter and inhnite rest
while the holy emotions my tongue dared not speak,
Flushed up like \ fame from my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast oh, your arms were 80
bold;
Heart beat against heart in their passionate fold,
And your glAnces seemed drawing my soul to my
eyes,
You kissed me my heart and my breath, and my
will,
In delirious JOY for a moment stood still =
Life had for me then no temptations, no charms,
No vista Of pleasure, outside OF your arms;
And were this instant an angel possessed
OF the joy and the peace that given to the blet
1 would fling my white robes unrepiningly down,
And tear from my forehead its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more in that hAven Of rest
with your lips upon mine and my head on your
breast.
You kissed mel my soul in . bliss 20 divine.
Reeled and swoOned like . foolish man drunken
with wine,
TIL thought tWero delicious TO die then. II death
Would come while my lips were yet moist with
your breath;
And these are the questions ask day and night
Must my life taste but such exquisite delight
win your breast ever be for my shelter, as then.
And II you were here would you kiss me again
