By Telegrapli. Congressional Procc?d?Kgs. WASHINGTON, December C.-In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Dixon offered a series of resolutions passed by thc Connecticut Legislature in favor of negro equality before the law. The committees appointed vary but little from those of last session. Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, intro? duced a bill regulating commerce between thc States, and a resolution instructing the Secretary of tho Treasury to inform the Senate whether any persons employed in the Treasury Department have not taken thc requisite oath. A committee of thirteen was appointed to confer with tho committee of the House relative to the death of President Lincoln. Mr. Morgan introduced a hill to incor? porate tho International Telegraph Linc from New York to West Indies. In thc House, a resolution for relief of Mrs. Lincoln, by thc payment in full of her husband's salary, was introduced hy Mr. Wentworth and referred to the select com? mittee to he appointed to take action con? cerning President Lincoln's death. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill permitting wounded soldiers to ac? cept employment under thc Government and receive a pension. At the same time a special committee was appointed to consider that part of the President's message and all papers and accompanying tho documents relative to freedmen's affaira. Mr. Bingham proposed amending tho Constitution, annulling the prohibition on export duties, prohibiting the payment of thc rebel war debt, and securing all per? sons equality in the protection of lifo, liberty, etc. A resolution was adopted granting the nse cf the House for a public meeting of the Freedmen's Commission. Mr. Farnsworth offered a resolution de? claring the good faith of thc Government and demanding that colored soldiers should be entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizens of the United States. Both branches of Congress have ad? journed over to Monday. Interesting letters have been received from Professor Agassiz, giving an account of the astonishing scientific discoveries he has made in the river Amazon. Under date of September 8th, he writes that he had then obtained more than three hun? dred species of fish, although ho had, to that time, only examined one-third of tho Amazon without trenching on its affluence. He had only counted on, at most, two hundred and'fifty or three hundred species, and he says that not a third of those ho collected belong to known ones. The latest report is that Agassiz was to leave Manaos, in Amazonas, on the 10th of September for Tabatinga, in Peru. AFRAID TO LAUGH.-Ladies sometimes repress their laughter to avoid revealing thc discoloration and imperfection of their teeth. Fair ones, we would advise you to try the Fragrant Sozodont. It will remove at once, all impurities, arrest tho progress of decay, and whiten such parts as have already become black by decay, and leave thc breath as fragrant as a rose. t COMMERCIAL.
