The Washington correopondent of the Now York Herald, says: V hen M r. W ood had ceased speak ing General Butler arose and moved to proceed to business on the Speaker's table. The Civil Tenure bill being the only business on the Speaker's ta ble at the time, this motion brought it at once before the House. Mr. Butler having obtained the floor. kept it and followed up his success with a motion to refer the bill and amend mnests to the Committee on the Judi oiary. - As soon as the bill was before the House everybody seemed to be on the alert for whatever might happen to it. The members came in out of the lobbies and cloak rooms; those who had been engaged in writing or conversation while Mr. Wood was speaking suddenly abandoned their engagements and were in their seats giving the most careful attentin. The news that the bill was op was passed along the corridors and lobbies and speedily reached the Senate cham ber. The members who were there came over, followed by several Sena tors, and in a short-time the galleries, which were comparatively deserted under the influence of the reconstruc tion debate, began to fill up.. Every thing assumed an air of interest and business before the bill was,up ten minutes. Those in favor of concur ring with the Senate endeavored to take Butler off the floor by a, motion to concur, which, they contended, took precedence of a motion to refer. Butler, who underst4ol precisly what he was about., coolly ;iiformed them that he did not yield"fbr any such pur pose, and the Speaker promptly .de cided that Mr. Butler could not be ta ken off the floor. As soon as this point was settled the member from the Essex district, according to a pre vious understanding yielded to Gen. ral Logan, who offered his amodmot to vacate all the offices flle@ An drow Johtott by the 30th of next June. The reading of this singular amendment created no small amount of merriment among the democrats who seemed to regard it as a jike. Seve ral republicans, who seemed to be ta ken a little by surprise, j-ined in the the laughter. Logan had ten min utes allowed him by Butler, and soon convinced the House that he was not only really in earnest, but that he ieant to take irsue with the Senate, and, if possible, get the House to adhere to its original proposition of repeal. His statement that there had been a good deal of lobbying on the floor of the House in favor of coneur ring with the Senate created quite a flutter among those who felt guilty of the charge. Butler next "farmed out" ten minutes of his hour to 0. 0. Washburn, who, in a written speech, represented his brother, H. R. Wash burn, as well as he could in favor of absolute repeal, announcing that he did.not believe President Grant was satisfied with the.8enate modification of the bill. Mr.. Arnsworth was al lowed a few minutes to speak in favor of concurrence, when Jiutler, who had taken the bill completely out of Bing ham's hands and was now its real man oger, took the floor himself and dis sected the Senate ameondrnentn in a st.3le which opened the eyes of the members as well as of the Senators who were present. Without travel. ling outside th8 precincts- of parlia mentary language he handled the Sen ate rather roughly, and called the at tention of the HoQuse .to the fact that the Senate modifications of, the , bill wereo'siniplj concessions to the forbe of public sentimeudt, and did not in real ity chiange the bill ati all, so far as the power of' the Senate over removals and appointments is' conened. It waos therefore nothing more than a do. lusion. Hie did not believe that the President had agreed to the bill. If he had it was under the force of com puilsiori and in the hope that the House would save him by refusing to concur. Hoe closed by moving the previous question. Th e friends of 'the Senate measure, seeinog the case was hopeless, made an attempt to adjourn and then fillibustered for a few minutes. They were too goed, i?weye r,g oallgh yeas andI ungs or even to 'dpmand of,he tellers. ''theu p iUioN~a gupsion bq{ng sustained the vote iais takeni, and re suIted, yeas 95, nayh '79; as follotta: Mr. Butler said he uwod to refer the bill and amendment tothe~ .udi diolary Coin 'iltke, and 1htdo sired to give poa repon ef thaVmo tion., Mr. Farnmworth, (rep,) of 'Ill, de sired to 'eM as motion tq concut in the Senate'aiiendments. Mr. Bingham, (re .) of.(phio, sid he had risen himself for ethat putpose. Mr. Butler declined to yield for that motion; but he yielded to Mr. Legad,(re fd 6fIl, MbInov ed to aspend tb ,bii}l.byr , protviso that al ly1, g except jde Alled by appointment of the President of the U7nited Btata..bk.~i wit te advice and consent of the Senate, be fore the 4th of March, 1869, shall become vacant on the 3oth of June, 1869. He said he had always thought that the House was entitled to have opinions of its own. He know there had been a good deal of work done here this morning by certain gentle men to have the Senate amendient concurred in, by insinuating that it was agreeable to the President. If members had no minds of their own ; if they were to be used like pack threads, it was time to stop legisla tion. He insisted that the Senate amendment made the Tenure of Office bill worse than it was in its original shape. He declared that this was a struggle for power between the exeou tive and the Senate ; that was all there was of it. The bill had been originally passed for a special put pose, and now the Senate was deter mined to hold the power in its h-ads. Did anybody believe that the Senate was giving upon this amendment one lota of its power I For his own part he was not to be swerved from his duty by the insinuation that some body consented to the amendment. He appealed to th' friends of the President to stand by the bill repeal ing the law or to adopt his amend ment. Mr. Waahburne, of Wis., opposed the Senate amendment. le hoped the House would not concur in it; would not refer it, and would insist on the unconditional repeal of the Ten ure of Oflise law. That law was passed for a particular purpose and to check the usurpations of a wicked Chief Magistrate. It had answered the purposes of its enactment and should pass away with the cause that brought it into being. The President was responsible for the execution of the laws, and there never had been a time when there was the same neces sity as now for the President to have ample power to remove dishonest of incompntent officials. It had been said that the President was satirfied with the Senate amendment. While he (Mr. Washburn) knew nothing about that he did not believe it. 11 the President were sati-fiod he was not the man whom he (Mr. WVash burn) had taken him for. But they were not legislating for General Grant; they were legislating for the country, which was nearly unanimous on the subject. lie hoped the House would im.int on unconditional repeal. The President might be ratified uiLh the Senate amendment, but he (Mr. Washburn) was not satisfied with it, and the people would not be satisfied with it. He believed lie represented all his constituents in demanding an unconditional repeal. Mr. Farnsworth argued in favor of concurring in the Senate amendment, which he explained in reply to riues. tions put to him by Mr. Logan. Mr. Butler, of Mass., declared that the Senate amendment was a new tenure of office bill, more wrong in principle, more fatal in action, and more destructive to the privileges of the house and of the people, and was conferring more power on the Sen+tte than the present Tenure of Office bill; it fettered the Executive more. It he (Mr. Butler) were to vote for either he would vote for the one now oni tihe statute book in preference to this. The~ S.inate was an irresponsible body, and an irresponsible body was ever dan gerous. IMr. Puland inrquired how the gen tlemian from Massachusetts jus~tneid the passage of the Tenure of Ofliac bill originally ? Mr. Butler replied that he had ne occasion to go into such a justification. (Laughter on the democratic side.) IMr. Poland--But the gentleman 's political associates have abundant reason to go into their justification. IMr. Butler-There were many things which we had to do to save the life of the country in the war for which justification cannot be found in the constitution. There were many things which we had to do under An. drew Johnson whichi had better never 'be done again--(laughter)-and had Ibetter be got rid bf as soon as possi. ble. Mr. Butler went on to chiarac. torire the Senate amendment as a do olaration of want of confidence in the~ President. What good had the law ever done ? IXad it curbed a bad President ? Ruthlessly and in defi anee of it Andrew Johnson bad 'turn. ed Edwin M.8Stanton out of office, and when the H-ouse Impeached him therefor the Senate held him acquit and free. Mr. Farnsworth sugge-te d that the Senators who had voted to convhi Mr. Johnson had voted for this amend inont. Mr. Baytler did not know who was in favor of the azpend.ment. It had been, passed In seoret caucus; but he knew that the vote ou the repeal o0f the law did.net bear out the gentle. mein%s statement. Mr. Farnsworth-The vote ot tbh Senate amendment does bear me out lMf. Butler.-Oh ! bahl iddlesticks (TLanghter.) I6 was made a tnatter ci caucus diotatibn-i.t was sgreed to ai a coospromIse; and all compromise It leg ilon are viciouf. I have beet tothat the Presidenit is satisfiec irth the law. I do not pretend t< bars the enowlleg abant that whti others claim to have; but I have no doubt that if President Grant said anything about it, it was under the circumstance of the Senate committee going to him and saying :-"Sir, you are our President; we are in trouble in the Senate ; if you do not agree to this we shall have difficulty ourselves." And President Grant may have said : "I agree to that or anything else rath. or than you should have trouble. I do not mean to put myrel in your way ; I do not mean to raise any dii culty in your party." F'ut if ho said so it was because he relied on the sentiment of the country. lie relied on the House of Represeatatives ; he relied on our sense of our own dignity, on our sense of our rights, on our sense of our own consistency, to save him from the disgraceful law by which his hands are to be tied. The Pork Supply. A late issue of the Cincinnati Prices Current gives a detailed state nent of the pork packing in the West during the season just closed. From the returns there furnished, it appears there is a deficit, when compared with the supply of the season previous. This deficit, though not so large as was expected, is still sufficient to keep the price of bacon ip to it3 present figures, and not improbably to run it up still higher. The total n!nber pau ed is 2,477, 264, against 2,793,033, last season, a fulling of' of 315,766 hogs, or about one-ninth. But as there is an increase in the average weight, the deficiency is reduced to 214,901, or less than on11-tenth. While the.,upply, as thus shown, is decreasing, the demand is reported as on the increase. On com p-,ring the reports of packing for a number of ears, it is found that the number of hogs slaughtered in the Vest now is very little more than it svas twelve years ago, white the natu ral increase of the wants of the country must have been forty per cent. These figures seem to point out the fact that the West has reached its linait in the production of hogs, and they nlso account. satisfactorily for the high prices of bacon. Now what is the remedy for the .South. who con sumes most of the surplus bacon crop, of the Ve..t? Is it not in her own bands? If the farmers of the South would only combine to try the expe riment of raising thcir own supply of meat for one year, b,;con woubl come down as rapidly as cotton does when a big crop is coming into market.. But combination for mutual benc(fits is not the forte of Southern farmers. The probability is that the vast. majority will pay as high prices for meat next year, if not higher, while it is by no means certain that they will realizc as much for cotton. It is in the power of every farmer, however, to frce himself from thih heavy annual tax on his profits, if h< chooses to do so. While the mnajority have been content to depend on other sections for corn and neat, there are many who succeed in raising the no. cessuries on their own farms. They may vot, it is true, have as many bales of cotton to sell as their neigh h;ors of eriual means ; but what the3 do sell goes into their own pockets, and not into the hands of Westerr produce nmerchants. We have nevei met one of this class who was dissat. ilfied with his method of farming. Tm SrvnAION IN CImNA-By way of San Francisco we have telegramm from China dated at IIong Kong or the 19th of Febrnary, embracing a concise yet interesting report of th< situation of affairs, executive, politi, cal and social, in the Central Flowery Kingdom. Modern civilization eon tinues to press on the hoary traditions of the contry at all points and makeu progress in the struggle. The Bur. lingame American treaty, a symbol and rallying point for future reforms, had been received at Shanghai frorr WVashington, but awaited delivery tc IPrince Knmng, at Pekin, to have full force. Mr. Burlingame's arrange. Iment with Lord Clarondon to the of. feet that all disputes with the Chinese shall be referred to the home govern Iments previous to the undertaking of hostilities was displeasing to many IBritish speculators who have fattened onet what may he termed the war-mak ing power. Rebhellion prevailed in the North, the Mohammedan insur g ents blocked the way to Pekin, and Catsholio missionaries venture the pro. dietion that the empire will fall with, in twelve months. Mining operatioan and other sourcem of material progrosa were at an end for the present, and the popular disorganizat,ion was wide. spread in the interior. The English, according to their usual missionary fashion in the East, had destroyed two villages by the fire of their gunboats and ft is easy to be seen that Chint must be revolutionized by some high toned Christian Power, or else th country will perish from Internal de cay.

The following resolutions were then read and passed with loud and prolong ed applause: Resolved, That the present struggle of the Unbans for independence and self government belongs in the sa-ne cate gory with the American Revolution of 1776. It should excite the symnpsthy of all friends of popular progress and deserves every kind of aseistanco that other nations may be able to render. Resolved, That the Cuban cause is just and the wrongs against which the Cubans revolted are such as should rouse the indignation of mankind, in. chiding as they do taxation without representation, the f o r c e d main tenance of the institution of slavery, the exclusion of all natives of the isldd from public service, the do.ial of the right to bear arms and of all the sacred privileges of citizenship and nationalh ty. Resolved, That in proclaiming the abolition of slavery the patriots of Cuba have given conclusive evidence that they share the most subs'ant.ial ideas of mod ern democracy, and that the:r poli"ical principles are in unison with those which inspire and govern the profoundest thinkers and speakers of the age. Resolved, That while men of free tmids in all countries must view witi interest and hope the uprising of Cuba, we, as citizens of the republic of North America and ncar neighbors of the is. land, recognize q special obligation tow-irds ehe patriots who are toiling and fighting for its emancipation from Euro pean tyranny. Resolved, That in cur judgment it is the duty of our government to recog iize the belligerent rights of tho Cubans at the earliest, practicable moment., and thus to show the world that this nation is always on the side of those who con tend ngain.t despotism and oppression ; aid that. we earnestly entreat thu Exec titive at Washington that there may he no unnecessary delay in decisively deal. ing with this great subject. The following officers of the meeting vere then appoint ed: Vice Presidents -Gen. John A. F'remont, Jolin lRientin, Frank E How. nrd, William Hastings, Alex.

Mr. Du Chaillu said :-We have heard the cry from Cuba of widows and orphans. WVar and revolution is wag ing in Cuba, and poor people are suffer. ing from the barbarities inflicted upon themu by these tyrants. He was in the coiiiary to whicht the Spanish authorities are ixil ing the revolut onisti,, and his Ile:h shuliidered when he read that these mtei were sent to Fernando Po. He could stand a great deal of A frican cli uat', but tlhat. of Fernando Po. on the vest coast of A frica, is thu most it suiTrable. It rains there all ilhe time, mlid is extremely hot, and from the de cayed vegetation that sends forth pois onous exhalations it is the most tin healthy spot in the world.
