The readers of the proceedings al Wushingio last week were treated io some exhibitions of th; peculiar style of debate which eenuin members i Congress, we are sorry to say, arc exceeding! fond ol' indulging in. Among ihe charges wilie i he House of llepresontaiives liavebrought ngaini ihe President, which thc managers have urge willi great vehemence, is thal of making uiibt coming speeches, especially against the Thirl} ninth Congress. It would appear, however, tim ilie President's standard of taste in oratory, loi as il is, is nol one whit lower I han that of mau, m ember a of Congress who have lind ten times hi ad va ii I ages, in point of both intellect tia! and so cial culture. Mr. Evans, in his argument oi Thursday, adverted lo this fact : and, without dc nying thc President's ofleiirc on ibis point, in proceeded lo match even his most unbecoming Der formalices with coi responding specimens tuket from speeches delivereu both in Hie Senate am the House of Representatives, with thc entire ap proval. so far as appeared, of I he members o: those bodies. The specimens thus reproduced in the presence of the very persons by whom lin j speeches were made certainly assisted Mr. Evans j in extenuating the oratorical '?misdemeanors" ol I ihe President. Il also very naturally raised (bc i question in sonic minds how lung ihe making ol ' ill-mannered speeches basin this country been an ; offence tor which a man is lo be removed from j ollicc. Thc House of Representatives impeaches I lite President for this offence ; but who is io im i peach thc House of Representatives? Mr. Evans chose one specimen of recent Con. gressioual eloquence thal must have been highly refreshing lo all concerned, and that seems lo have kepi holli ihe Senate and lite galleries in roars of laughter. It was that famous p.is-agc between Mr. Hut 1er and Mr. Bingham which look place in thc House nf Representatives about a year ago, on some question connected with ihe diary of ihe assassin Pool li, which Buller said hud been muti? lated. Mr. Uinghnm having referred lo Mr. Pul? ler as a Republican of very recent conversion, who had recorded his voie filly limes for Jefferson Da? vis, the arch traitor of thc rebellion, and also as ' the hero of Pori Fisher not taken," thc latter i gent loman came down upon him as having nothing i to show for his prowess "but an innocent womau hung upon thc scttlfc-ld." To this Mr. Bingham rejoined in thc following appropriate style: L challenge llie gentleman, I dare him here or any where, in this tribunal or in any tribunal, lol ???erl that Lapuiiaied or mutilated uuy book: but j n U-n?t' ? --i". BC g '-' ?? Bsaaa euch a charge, without one little of evidence, only lil lo come from a man who lives in a bot and is fed with a spoon. These passages were presented to thc Court illustrating the taste ot the two leading manag of the impeachment trial, whom the House sent to thc Senate to complain of thc President making improper speeches ! On the following day, after the rising of Court, one of the same managers, Mr. Butler, forded a new illustration of the same elandan Congressional acting, in a debate with a '"fell by the name of Brooks," as he styled him. 1 discussion grew out of Mr. Brooks' resoluti censuring the managers for signing the letter the President, about I he Alta Vela affair. Wc h nothing lo do with it but just to refer to it ns bad specimen of what may bc any day seen ? heard in that rare school of manners, thc Kef sen i.nive Chamber at Washington. It dem j however, special interest at the present mom from the fact that it was Mr. Manager Bul whose manners and taste in oratory were there exhibition. But Saturday furnished the country with a s more striking and characteristic scene in the bu depnrtmcnt of public affairs. The Washing correspondent of the Boston Daily Advert speaks of it as "the most atrocious offence agai decenc}' and propriety which has occurred ih for years." Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, 1 been attacked by Mr. Washburnc, of Illinois, i Western newspaper, and arter causing the arti to be read io thc Iiouse hy the Clerk, he proceei lo pour out upon Mr. Washburnc, for nearly hour, a torrent of abuse so low and scurrilous io bc offensive even to the ears of honorable nu bcrs most accustomed lo Congressional ribald and who usually relish il so "highly. The wh adair was purely personal in ?ls nat ure. and I nothing whatever to do with uny public ?t?tere! The speeches both of Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Wa burne, we suppose, have been printed at thc pi lie expense in that grand conservatory of all t is noxious ami offensive in American rhetoric, Congressional Globe. They will serve no oil useful purpose than to show to how lev a po the business of speech-making in Congress 1 descended at the beginning of May, 1?08. WI ihe Iiouse of Representatives has succeeded in moving thc President from his office, and ?neap hating him forever from holding any office uni the Cnited States, among other things for "imp prielies of speech," tee may le pardoned for s getting thal thc people will do well io gice some att lion to the House of Representative*.

Genera' Canby commanding thc District nu bored 2 of the five military allotments into whi thc Southern Stales have been partitioned by t Uudical Congress, has conveyed official inforn lion lo the Headquarters of thc Army at Washil ton, that the State of South Carolina?ene of I original thirteen?the land of the Pinckneys a Rutledge, of Legare, and Pctigru, of Lownd McDuiho, and Calhoun?no longer exists ns a fi white commonwealth?but that, obeying thc Ct gressional rescript, he has delivered up thc Sti into the absolute possession of its future no masters. When Gen. Canby thus announced tl he had caused the white race of one of ihe Siai of tho American L'nion, to pass limier the degt ding yoke of helpless captivity io their late ema cipaied slaves?when he announced his, perita] unwilling agency in consummating thc most ?ni mons act that modern oivilization has witnessed three centuries?wc can imagine thc red blush shanie tbat mantled his cheeks, and the son.'j frown upon his forehead ? Wc cannot nnder^tand how tiny true soldier c: consent to fill one of these appointments of Som ern District commander. The very existence the office is a standing offence to a majority of t Nation, and to ihe fundamental law of thc lan To fail inthe execution of iheso hideous enac nictils, fo repulsive to the honorable sentiments an American citizens, to decency and to liben and so destructive to the prosperity of lite countr would seem to us lo be more desirable by far tin lo succeed. To succeed is to have one's nan painfully and ignominously associated with a peril in tho history of thc country, lo which in a fe years hence, every citizen, al home or abroad, ?vi refer willi a shudder. The officer in command this District is, as wc know, a gentleman by biri education, habits and associai ion. Gen. Mea? has endeavored to do his duty, we believe, coi scicntiously. Reinga mod?rale radical in politic he is not. of cours?, lo be considered perfect 1 rational on thal subject. No radical of any di script ion ever comprehended the nature ut" tl Government established by the Constitution of iii United States His political obliquity is the inc? itable result of Ins education and should bc pai doned. But what pleasure or honor Gen. Mead cuti expect lo derive, from becoming instrument! in forcing "Military Reconstruct iou*' Govern mein and ihe votes of negroes who have no more leg.-i righi to exercise thc suffrage in Alabama by virtu of nu ucl of Congress, than he has lo insist o: being crowned King of England, is much bevon our comprehension. Just think of the Gorennncii of an American Slate, only suggestive of illiterai negroes, vagabonds, renegades and bayonets We would suppose thal such a man as Genera Meade would shrink from lite contamination ns h would from the touch of a leper. Resides, it can not be denied, thal the people have protested bj their elections from Maine lo California, agni ns the Reconstruct ton mensures, and all the wicka work they were designated io accomplish. It is true that one of the military commander: has managed, in thc Iruc and earnest nobility o his nature, and his fine Democralic intelligence, tr retire from Mic position with extraordinary credit Wc allude lo Major General Hancock who is, al this lime, i bc idol of millions of his country men ! This is the case, because he rose superior io thr party intringucs of a radical cabul?because he re? membered 'hal the while inhabitants of Louisiana and Texas had some claims upon his magnanimity, justice and respect?because he fell timi his firsl duty was to the Const ii ut ion of his country and lo thc people of the Cn ?let I Slates? On thc oilier hand what has become ol'the pelly tyrant Sheridan ? Like thc butterfly of an hour he Hilled in the warmth of radical naileries, bul has already fallen lo the cati lt, like a very grub, nipped and frozen bj- the untimely winier of radical forgetfulness. What has become of thc resplendent Sickles, who aspired lo a sort of independent Dominion, with an Army, Navy, and Treasury Depart ment all of his own, in ihe Carolina Provinces, nnd who gave laws lo his unhappy subjects from lite soft cushions of his chariot and four. Lo, his glory has departed from him, and men now recur to thc period of ihe "Sickles Satrapy" willi no conceal? ment of theil* derision, mid always mutter some? thing about "high life below stairs."' The eloquent Colonel (no longer Major General Commanding kc, kc.,) ?a himself conten? to disport lits uniform as the brawling champion of Radical demagoguery. But why dwell upon ihe subject? AR that we need tay further it this, nnd we say it seriously and conscientiously, that we had rather be the banned and impoverished "rebel'',that we are to-day, than to be the General in command of the army of i lie United States, or any District Com? mander of them nil, were -we compelled in virtue of our office, to execute the military Reconstruc? tion Acts. If the Radical politicians in Congress desired for their selfish purposes, to carve so much political power out of the very hearts, as it were, of the Southern people, they should find some one else to do that work for them. If they wished vindictively to punish and insult the men nnd wo? men of the South?and fellow-countrymen and country-women?we would indignantly decline to bc their agent in such a business if it cost us our commission.
