Congress Yesterday.

In the U. S. Senate yesterday bills
were passed providing for the delivery
of dutiabie articles IN the mails, and
TO. indemnify for loss of registered artl-
Giles; providing for the compilation and
printing OF the naval history of the war,
and repeating of the atute authorizing
advancement of naval officers thirty
numbers IN rank for extraordinary hero
ism. Mr.. Bay ards financial resolution
was reached on the calendar, but laid
aside, owing to the absense ,f Mr.. Bay
aId. MIR. Platt's joint resolution ail-
thorizing the President to invite foreign
cooperation in the Construction of an
irter-oceanic canal went over upon an
objection. The "Five Per Cent" bill
and advocated by Mr.. The Senate then
went into Executive session. When
the doors were reopened, Mr.. Morrill,
moved to take up and pass the House
bill, admitting free Of duty certain
contributions from abroad for the
relief Of culored refugees in Kansas.
Messrs. PendleJon and Voorhees, OBJ
jected, but after some debate Mr..
Pendleton withdrew his objection
MIR. Voorhees,, however, persisted, and
the Senate without action adjourned
until Monday.
In the House, the bill amending and
re-enacting section % of the Texas
Pacific Railroad act was reported, Or
dered to be printed and recommitted.
Several bills were introduced and re-
ferred, among them one by Mr.. Stew
ems, of Illinois, to place certain arti-
cles imported ana used in the manu-
facture of paper OH the free list. The
Senate bill authorizing the detail of a
naval vessel to car y contributions for
the relief of the suffering poor in Ire
land was taken from the Speakers ta-
BILE and passed. The Revised Rules
were considered, pending which the
House adlourned until Monday.

An Exciting Confession.

William Rhodes, a peddler, was
found dead in culvert near Hicks
vile, Long Island, in December, and
the Coroner's jury rendered verdict
of accidental death. But detective
caused the arrest of James Seamon,
and on Thursday last he confessed to
the murder in Court, saying that with
Bill Weeks, who is now in Sing Sing
prison, he laid in wait for Rhodes
Weeks crept up behind Rhodes and
felled him with club. They ritied
his pockets OF few dollars. and while
doing so lie recovered and pleaded.
"For Gods sake don't kill me. u
Weeks beat his brains out with a
stone. They led the horse to the cul
vert, threw the peddler down into it,
head first, and then showed the no. Sc
and wagon over on him. 1t looked as
though the man had driven into the
place. When the prisoner got this
far the crowd in the court room made
a rush for him, but the officers kept
them back, and Seaman was taken to
Jail. One of the constables found q
rope and moose in the possession Of
one of the crowd, and it is plain that
but for the promptness of the officer,
Seaman would have been lynched ther
and there.

ing on both sides, and while ever we
were permitted to do 50, expressed in
no indefinite language our grief 1t the
horrid work the negro worshippers
were causing to our countrymen on
both sides. We maintained from
first to last that the war was unneces-
sary, and that peace could and ought
to be established ON the basis of a
fair compromise in which both sec
tions would have preserved, their
honor. We have never regretted hav-
ing occupied this. attitude. On the
contrary. it has always been = source
of pleasant reflection to remember
that we struck no blow against either
a Union or Rebel soldier. Believing
them both the deluded dupes Of fanati-
cism. While we, acknowledge the
right of others to i gather laurels
in such fields we could see none
there for us to Gull. The war was a
stupid, disastrous, and wretchedly
managed affair which has entailed un-
told misery in every direction, and re-
suited in no good that might not have
been accomplished without the cost Of
a single life to either side. 1t is need
less to remind us that we were as hos
tile as one could be, and Of which
our friend himself become disguised
and withdrew when he discovered
that he had gone out TO fight for the
enfranchisement of negroes. ' g.
We know that he has nothing person
al against Mr.. Bayard and can have no
thing that should cause him TO bold such
feelings. The acts that took ace
twenty-five years ago with their memo
ry have been buried in oblivion. Donbt-
less in the heat of political contests SEN
timents found expression that all have
regretted. But the many triumps Of the
party in which MIR. Townsend found
himself in the lead of Breckenridcers,
ought to convince hun Of their sincerity.
He has enjoyed the harvest of honor
which they have assisted to bring upon
the State in all that time since, and now
may boast of It's unsullied escutchion.
They have filled every Office, and dis
charged every duty and obligation, ard

a Republican which we quote below,

friend Townsend as to any other gentle
man in the State:

GEN. GRANTS PLANs.-The plans
Of Gen. Grant have long been known /;
but are now being put forth in the
newspapers afresh. He is to make a
political tour of the Southern States.
Landing at New Orleans after his de-
parture from Mexico, he will pass
through these States to receive the
eclat and such receptions as the chief
cities see proper to give him. If Gen.
Grant made the tour Of these States
without political and sinister motives
he undoubtedly would be met and
welcomed as a great soldier and citi-
zen. But as he goes in quest of office,
and seeks to lay the people under con-
tribution to his ambitious designs for
third term, to which he must know
their high esteem for the Father of
their country renders them hostile, he
must be credulous indeed if he sup
poses they can favor his mission. As
he claims to be an open, honest man
himself, he should not expect the
Southern people to conceal their hos
tility to the unwritten laws of their
country, which they hold establish
two terms as the limit that any man
should occupy the Presidency. Their
own great men asked for no more,
and refused to assent to serve for a
third term. Washington would not
take the Presidency for third term,
although pressed to suffer his name to
be used. We apprehend the people
of the South will be found too honest
TO suffer Gen. Grant to draw any
other conclusion from their action
than that they are opposed to any man
being made President a third time.
If, therefore, he goes through those
States hoping for boom in this
direction he will find it very quiet
one, and not at all calculated to helm
him in that which he most desires.
In fact it would seem to be the plain
duty of Southern gentlemen to with.
hold from Gen. Grant any signs which
might lead him to suppose they would
vote for him, when in fact they meant
to oppose his election with all honora
BILE and fair means.

THE Republican is a complete adept
At abuse. 1t can see nothing good in
what the Democrats do, and indeed
would allow them to do nothing good II
1t could prevent them. That is as OBJ
yious as the nose on its editors face
No Democrat can read the paper with
ont coming to the conclusion and to
the conviction that it is manifest from
the Repsbliean's columns that it would
prefer to see the Democrats commit
some great folly by which the country
would suffer in order that something
should be gained to the Republicans
politics. In yesterdays edition it goes
90 far as to show this, wherein it makes
an awkward use of the much abused
name of Esau, and charges that the
economy OF Congress is only to get rid
of John L. Davenport as Supervisor in
New York, in order that $4,000 illegal
votes" might be polled in the city.
Every Democrat knows that Davenport
deserves to be hidden away in the deep
reeesses of some cell in Sing Sing for his
crimes against free suffrrge, and so does
the Republican. But 1t upholds him in
his tyranny against foreign naturalized
voters. So it would, or will do here If
it can. 1t would not let single Demo
cratic naturalized citizen vote in Della
ware If It could prevent them. But il
cannot, although it will try. This should
be understood and remembered by all
such citizens. 1t did so in 1S54-6-S, and
has never repented of its KNOWN Nothing
sentiments. But is as uurelehting to-
day as II ever was. 1t covers up the fact
that the Democratic Congress has cut
down the expenses Of the government
many millions of dollars, and that econ
omy is what it aims at as we'll as the
freedom of the elections, in It's eff ,rts to
erase the laws that permit U. S. Mar
shals to supervise the elections from the
u. 3. Statutes.
