Secretary Mcculloch is said to have raised ob? jections to the Randall bill providing for the pay mont of tho natioual debt in thirty-six years, and it is probable ho will uso his influence to defeat it.

There have been ru? mors afloat that Mr. McColloch would resign in the event of Mr. Randall's bill becoming a law: but this is unlikoly. EXPECTED AUB IV Ali OF SET. HAT. The steamer Swatara, with Surrat on board, was expoctcd to arrive hero about the 25th inst., but it is now supposed that, on account of the stormy weather which has prevailed lately, her arrival will bo delayed for Borne time. At the tune of her departure from Alexandria, Captain Jeffries, her conan ander, had received orders to proceed imme? diately to the iYashington Navy Yard, and await orders from tho Department; but, as the river is now closed with ice, it is probable that, unless it opons soon, she will atop at Fortress Monroe and communicate with the Navy Department, and then proceed to Annapolis and land Surrat, who will be brought here by railroad. THE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION. A prominent Republican member of the Houso of Representatives, in recently writing to a friend, Bays : ''Touching/tho impeachment business,- my own op'nion is, and has been, that it will amount to nothing. All tho reports that the Committeo on the Judiciary have been taking testimony bear? ing hard on the President aro false. Not a single iritness has boen examined, and the Committeo ire proceeding with great caution." NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION. The National Democratic Association held a neoting to-night for tho purpose of consulting ipon tho expediency of holding a National Domo naiic Convention at no very distant day. Resolu? tions were adopted recommending the city of New fork as the place, and tze 21st of May as the imo, for meeting of a National Democratic Con .ention. The Now Reconstruction Scheme. The telegraph spoke, a day or two since, of the tew plan of reconstruction which is proposed as a .ompromise for Mr. THADDEUS STEVENS' Enabling let. Tho following ia the particulars of tho plan, aken from the Philadelphia Ledger : In reference to tho demand of the people of the forth, and in which Southern representative mon tho have been heard upon the subject acquiesce, he President thinks that the negro population of he South should havo such safeguards thrown bout them as to secure to them the permanent njoyment of their freedom, and that the negro, rmed with the ballot, can as well protect himself a any other citizen. Some of tho Northern States, Massachusetts and lew York for example, have given tho ballot to he nogro. In ono of them is an educational, in he other a property qualification, and it is asked rhy may not South Carolina, for instance, be plac d upon the same footing with Massachusetts as o those who shall hereafter be admitted to the lective franchi .e; and why may not the loj tl re? presentatives of the former be admitted td "Con TOSS upon thc samo footing as tho representat? ives of tho latter ? Marking out this plan in a .metical form, let thc people of tho State of South 'andina so amend their constitution and laws as o extend tho elective franchise so far as Mas achusctts has gone. As an incentivo to this roform, tho President in imatcs his readiness to issue a proclamation of tn nos ty to all the people of South Carolina who aay have approved the movement. This reform >eing accomplished, the people of that State le ct in g loyal Representatives to Congress, blacks oting with whites, as indicated above, it would hen rest with Congress to determine whether hese Representativos should'be admitted. I have ood reasons for saying this plau for adjusting tho xisting difficulties in the way of reconstruo ion is now receiving tho serious .considora ion of tho Administration, and has boen dia ussed in tho Cabinet with a viow to its ?option. It differs from Mr. Greeley's amnesty ii?rago scheme in that it provides for separate tate action and proposes a qualified suffrage; and ; leaves impracticable and unrepentant rebels still abject to tho penalties for treason-amnesty and jffrage each hoing qualified. It leaves States to ie exorcise of their constitutional prerogative of rescribing the qualification of voters and oxtond ig tho elective franchise to tho negro; to tho Ex mtive the dispensation of pardon and amnesty, nd to the legislative tho admission of loyal repro mtatives to the respective Houses of Con?reaa, i-.'h branch of tho Government thuB moving in ita jpropriate sphere.

BEGEE JAIL.-It has become of so frequent oc ?nt?fco: that culprits escape from tho jail at this BB^hat no importance seems to be attached to :e matter. On thursday night last Jim McCar fll, negro, a very bad character, committed for rceny, made his escapo under circumstances that avo no doubt but that ho rccoived assistance om an outsider. Jim had previously confessed s guilt, in which ho implicated two white men, ho made tboir exit from tho State in timo to save lomselvos from tho Sheriff.-Lancaster Ixdyer. THE CBY FOE BBBAD.-From various quarters ' this District comes up the well authenticated ?port that tho poor are alarmingly destitute of ie means of subsistence.

RAILBOADB FROM NEW ORLEANS.-In concluding sketch of the various roads radiating from Now Tleans, tho Times says : Lastlv, the New Orleans, Mobile and Chattanoo a Railroad. This most magnificent cnterpriso as also quite recently been very fully spoken of in lie Times, lt will give ns what wo so much need t present- lirect and complete railroad connec lon with Mouih-140 milos uistaut-together with pleasant connection at tho same timo with nil lioso delightful seaside spots along the coast. At 'ascngoula it will leave tho coast for Mobile to tho orthcaat. Thence the survey nins almost an air no to Chattanooga, ab .ut 4G? miles from New Or? iana, where it connects to same line with thc al oady completed roads leading through Lynch urg, Washington Citv, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Jew York, Boston, and oven beyond this 'hub' to .ortland and Canada. As it crosses Alabama, di gonally, it follows for a great part pf thc way a atura! ridgo, from which streams of water are con running on either side; thon it follows for 18G nlos up the valley of a stream. 80 miles of which re completed. Any one looking at tho map, and xamining tho line'of this road, will at once seo ..hat direct communication it will give UB with the 'ortheaatern cities, and that this would at once ccoine tho great mail route to tho East and Eu opc, because the shortest. On reaching Mobile, we will be in direct connoc ?011 with all the coast railroads-each serving its lurpose. None of these roads will be rival?, to, or ti the way of, each other. Each will but add to he business of the other. From Chicago there re so many roads that an average ol' sixty trains <f cars leave that city daily. Atono time'all tho oads felt as though they were rivals. Now, each ins more than it can do. Our leading railroad ninds are working together at New Or cans as lsewhore; and they are not the men to enter into ny unwise or impracticable schemes; nor, having mitered upon any great work, to suffer it to lan ;uish in their bauds. All manner of Mexican jobs and projects are tanging about tho Committee rooms and bolting n at the lobbies of the two Houses-one of thom proposing a modest loan of 550,000,000 to Juarez whereof so much as $20,000,000 might-and might lot-get out of Washington); and there is an ?r cgaloan of like amount lying around loose; but it s quite unlikely that "ithor of thom will ever get aunched in the shape of a bill. If ?50,000,000 rere lent to Mexico by our Government, her mili? ar)' banditti would doubiloss havo a good time dide it lasted; but, "except theso bonds,'* there Yould be no trace of it in exiatenco next year. [N, Y. Tribune. To Soldiers and Friends of Soldiers. Misfortune- has fallen heavily upon Mrs. DONALD BOWE, of Orangeburg, the great friend and nurse of soldiers during the late war. The property of her hus? band is advertised to be sold by tho Sheriff on the next sale day, and sho will be left without house or home. Many of the soldiers who have been relloved by her kind? ness nave expressed a desire to assist her in this hour of her distress. Sho labored for no pay during the war, and now asks for no remuneration forker services; but wo feel that it would be a lasting reproach upon the country to aUow her to be turned homeless upon the world. Wo therefore proposa to purchase thc plantation for her. Two thousand dollars have already been secured for this purpose, and we earnestly solicit contributions ?om all who aro willing to assist in this noble work. Send your money as speedily as possible.

' FIFTEEN YEARS AGO HOSTETTER'3 STOMACH BITTERS was struggling into notice against the prejudices which everything new, how? ever excellent, is doomed lo eucountor, TO-DAY it stands at the head of all the tonic and alterative prepa? rations in oxistcuce. Its celebrity has ovoked many Imi? tations but NO nrvALs. Physicians pronounce It thc only Baie stimulant that has ever been introduced into the sick chamber. In tho Hospitals of the Army and Navy the surgeons find it thc very best tonic for convalescents, and report it as invaluable for sustaining the vigor of troopB on the march, os a remedy for scurvy and all scor? butic affections, and ns the only specific for sea-sickness. California and Australia havo emphatically endorsed it us thc MIXER'S MEDICINE par excellence, and in Spanish America und all the tropical climates, it is considered thc only reliable antidote to epidemic fever. Tliere is no mystery about tho causes of its success. It is the only stomachic and alterative in which are com? bined the grand requisites of a mild, pure aud uuvitinted vegetable otimulant, with thc finest selection of tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic, aperient, and depurativo herbs, plants, roots, and barks, that have over been inter? mixed in a medicinal preparation. It is aleo proper to state that the Bittern are Bold exclu? sively in glass, and never, under any circumstances, by thc gallon or tho barrel. Impostors and imitators are abroad, and the only safeguard the public has against them is to soe that tho Bitters they buy bear thc en? graved label and note of hand of Mesara.
