WASHINGTON February 7.-In the House, after some unimportant business, the Reconstruction Committee's Bid was takenup. - STEVENS had not made np his mind beyond de? si {miner to vote as early as possible, and would not agree to postpone tho vote until Monday. LE BLOND said that tho Bill struck down civil govern? ment in the South, ignoring State lines, and broke down theJudiciary. RAYMOND proposed,, in view " of its importance, to allow twenty minutes debate. It was finally agreed to hold a night session. '. ' Mr. ASHLEY rose , to a personal explanation re? garding , newspaper correspondence, in which he . -took occasion to denounce ?he President, butdc . rmed-having ahy complicity with Gen. BUTLEB, or any intention to stab Gen. G KANT in the back. The Retrenohmeut Committee reported favora lilypn the official conductor Mr. VAN DYKE, Assis? tant Treasurer at New York. STEVENS and BBAND'EGEE made characteristic speeches in favor of the former's bill. The latter . says the bill commences where GBANT left off two years ago. He saw a promise that, the sword of J *''the.Republic was about to be again unsheathed. LEBLOND and FINCH opposed the . measure. PIKE Spoke in favor, and FAKNSWOBTH followed on; the same side.

A detailed: statement of tuction dues paid int the State Treasury, says the New Orleans limes, of the-2d, which we find in :the report of H.

A NOBLE ACT.-We are reliably informed that one of the most enterprising of our merchants, and largest owners" ?.f real estate within Mobile, has deducted one-third:of the amount due from bis tenants on notes given the pa?t year-receiv? ing two-thirds pf . the amount and giving a r ceipt in full, much to the gratification of. poor tenants. Li view.-.of .the prospect, ahead for the next four months, we hope to be able to record ihe names pf many followers of the above noble example.' [M<Me Trwurie, REFORM I.Y ENGLAND. Tho telegraph yesterday brought the new "during the delivery of the Queen's 3peec people cried Reform." So on a certain merni occasion there waB a great mass mooting in Minor, crying aloud for the space of two h "Great is Diana of tho Ephesians." We ar sure that the crying Britons of the ninetoonti tury could furnish a better reason for their ci than the "dwellers at Ephesus for theirs ii first century. The telegraph at the same also reports thar, there are over 25.000 able-bi laborers at this time out of employment in L pool, and that great distress is prevailing there and in other largo cities of England, in sequence of the. unusual stagnation of buai Whether or not "Reform'' is to give bread, and flannel, to these 25,000 sufferers, and the dreda of thousands of others not thus Bpei designated, we do not know. The case seems to be somewhat parallel to is now passing before our eyes in the TJi States: where a kindred breed of agitators cr; universal auffrago, impartial suffrage and man] suffrage-troubling themselves little, if at about the real wants of the freedmen, or ma any wise or adequate provision for their fu welfare and prosperity. The inference ia ino ble, that in both casos tho demagogues first duced the dissatisfaction among the masses, now keep np the agitation for no other reason t the furtherance of their own private ends-of ii est or ambition. But let ns see what it is the people ot Engl want; and this, it is to be presumed, con be learned from one of Mr. BRIGHT'S speeches, will toko his last, from which it will be seen j Mr. BaiQHT, quaker and non-combatant thongl he, ia a thorough demagogue, and skill.d ii the artful devices of revolutionary eloquence, ; hy n'o means averse to the use of force, if forci necessary, to carry out his schemes. Ho said that eight years ago he told the franchised workingmen that tho monopolists political power in the country would not willii surrender that power or any portion of it, and t no class which was excluded could rely upon generosity of any other olasB for that justice wt they demanded, and that therefore, although Ia number?) of the middle classes were then, and now, in favor of the enfranchisement of a la number of the working class, yet that they wo not make that great effort which ie nscessar] wring political power from thwe who now hold and extend it to those who ore now and were tl excluded from it... The working classes must ca obi this movement for themselves, etc., etc. And again he says : - But our critics say that yon aro dangerous account of y orr: numbera. But you cannot h being numerous. The fact is, the millions can; suffer but that the few wbo aro timid and in so degree ungenerous in this matter take the alai If you had boen better governed the last ono hi dred years, if tti?land hadb?en more ir. the hoi of the people ond'less in the hands bf a small ola if you had fewer wars, lighter taxes, better etruction and free trade, why one-half of those tins country who are now called die world classes would have been in comfort ; and positi equal to those whom we call the middle-class. I this is the great difficulty now, and it is the gr* difficulty of our opponents. Yon are too numi ous to be let in with safety; and they are finch that you aro too numerous to bo kapi; cut wi safety. , ;Mr..BBiOHT.went on to ask what would th hare. Would they prefer that, instand of enga ing.in.this movement in a perfectly .la ?.-.-fal ws :you should do asmen did fifty or sixty ye irs ap and.as dacy are now doing in ireland, effc"t i desired change by insurrection and revol?tioi Ohe of the two modes must bo taken. If there 1 .a deep and widespread sentiment; of injustice i longer iolerabll?, then; judging from aJU paat hist ry of all people, one of -two modes will- be taken either that mode so sad and BO odious, of socr conspiracy, or that mode so grand and so nob which yon have adopted. This suggestion, tl reporters tell us, was received with great applouB Mr. BRIGHT then stated clearly the real grip ance of the people. Yon are the citizens, he sai the native inhabitants of a country which is calli constitutional ; and what is meant by that is, th; your government is not the despotic governmei of a monarch, nor the oligarchical government < an .oligarchy, bnt that it is a government, a lar(. -and''essential portion of which is oondu'eted I honestly-elected representatives of tho people and, the grievanceis this, that this cc ns ti tu tioi so. noble in its outline and so good in ita purposi is defaced and deformed, and that when you loo at it it seems in this respect absolutely wors than any representative constitution existing i the world. Eor I believe there ia no, represen ta ti on whatsoever at this moment in America o in Europe th at i B so entirely deformed from it natural, just, and beautiful - proportions as is tb representative system of this country. What cai be' more clear than this, that the aristocracy o land and of wealth usurp the power of both Housoi of Parliament ? Tho lords represent themselves and g one i ally the great landowners, with gre a fidelity. But, at tho same time, wo mast adm! and deplore that at least one-half of the House o Commons is in'fast alliance with the majority h the House of Lords. Now, there is no. security whatsoever, for liberty ander the government, un? less there be an essential p?w?r in a iah* represen tatton of the nation. Mr. BRIGHT ' said that on careful inquiry h< found that not'more than 800,000 votes in a gen? eral'-election were registered. He found thal in the election of 1859 only 820,000" voters at mosl could be reckoned. In some boroughs there is nc contest, because thore is no freedom of election. The consequence of this state is, that when thc Queen orders her ministers to appoal to the coun? try, it is at the very utmost on appoal to 800,OOO electors, and in all probability tho appeal is an? swered by registered votors numbering from 300, OWto 400,000. Ho continued as 'follows: "There is no form of government much worse than that of a sham representation. A Par Ham en; ii ko ours has members enough, and just enongh of tho semblance of representation, to make it safe for it to do almost anything it likes aga nst the true interests of the nation. There is not representation enough to make it truly responsible to the intelligence, virtue and opinions of tn9 people. Ho instanced thc case in 1815, when Parliament beat back the people who protested against the corn law of that period, by horse, foot and artillery. Phis was done by a Par? liament of landholders for the purpose of increas? ing their own rents by sacrificing the comfort, plenty, health and Hves of tho people. Look at the very moderate Reform Act of tho last Parlia? ment, and waa it not defeated by a Parliament of izjcdowners and of rich men, who have wholly des? pised that great national opinion which haB boon exhibited during the last three or four months, re? sisted that measure with a pertinacity never ex? ceeded, acid with an amount of intrigue. and un? fairness to the government which they durst not for one singlo night have attempted if they felt any ra; 1 responsibility to the peoplo of this coun? try i ' lu answer to those who charged him with pro? moting a dangerous excitement, he said: "Sup? pose I stood at the foot of Vesuvius or iEtna, and I saw a hamlet, or homestead standing upon its slope, and I said to tho dwellers in that hamlet or that homestead, 'You see that vapor which as? cends from tho summit of tho mountain; that vapor may become a dense black smoke, which will obscure the sky. You seo that trickling of lava from the crevices and fissures in the side of tho mountain; that trickling of lava may become a river of fire. You hear that muttering in the i bowels of the mountain; that muttering may be? come the bellowing thunder and voice of violent convulsion that may shako half tho continent, You know that at your feet is the grave of great cities, for which there is no resurrection, as histo? ry tells us dynasties and aristocracies have passed away, and their name has boen known no moro." "If I say this to the dwellers upon the slopes of the mountain, and if there comes hereafter a ca . tastropho which makes the world to shudder, am I responsible for that catastrophe ? I did not build the mountain, or fill it with evplosiva matcri als. I merely warn the mon that are in danger. So, now, it is npt I who am stimulating men to the pursuit of their constitutional rights. We are merely aboht our lawful businesp. You aro citizens of a country which calls itself rroe, yet you are citizens to whom is domed tho groatest blessing of tho Constitution undor which you Uve. It* the truth must be told, tho Tory party ia the turbulent par? ty of the nation," Cruelty to Animal*? "Man's Inhumanity to Doga Has made countless millions howl." Mr. BEBGH, the President of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-the same gen? tleman who is trying to persuade the New York butchers to use chloroform in their slaughter houses-recently delivered a speech before the Now York Legislature, explanatory of the objects of his society. He first admonished his audience that animals aro both morally and intellectually much nearer to their human masters than the latter are disposed to believe or admit. He then proceeded to speak of tho atrocities of the slaughter house and the brutality of epicures. The latter, he says, sometimes roast geese alive, in order that the liver may become so enlarged as to be suitable for the manufacture of pate de foie* gras. This is a new version of the old story. We have always been in the habit of hearing that the said geese had their Jeet nailed to the floor, and were kept in darkened rooms, with a view of en? larging their hepatio organs; and, to toll the truth, we have always been skeptical even of the latter and milder version. We haye seen t hous ands of geese fattened for their livers. They are usually kept in a dark room, and within a confined srnce.' They are then stuffed, i. e., forcod to eat, and this process they undergo for Borne six weeks, when they are fat, nice, and juicy; and although they are not ansBSthetizod with chloroform prior to re I ceiving the coup de grace, they are not roasted I alive. Scientific barbarity next occupied this new, lower animal POWELL BUXTON'S attention. He Bhed bitter trars as he was recounting the horrors of vivisect big a poor, lonely frog, an orphan perhaps, or mayhap tho only son of his mother. He was very severe on those quack doctors. The transportation of cattle by railroad, the premature removal of the calf from the cow, the use of unwholesome meat, cruelty td fish, and overcrowding city cars, formod the other topics of. his discourse. Mr. BEBGH is a good man, we have no doubt; so were BUXTON, GBANVTLLE, SHABPE, WILBEBFOBOB and others, who nevertheless gave tho world a great deal of trouble, and who effected reforms the result of which, to .say the least, is of very doubtful benefit to mankind. Smith, on Africa. A reverend Badical member of tho Tennessee Legislature recently preached to a '"mixed" con? gregation in Nashville. A great part of the-dis? course was directed to the colored brethren.. The Nashville Republkan Banner givoa a very interest? ing, account of tho loamed gentleman's effort." We^ have space for two extracts only : Smith further declares that the Africans estab? lished the first National Police in history, which, no doubt, was a Metropolitan Police force, and then he adds : 'Tor ten successive centuries they a ?ono lilted the torch of silence to a darkened globe." There is subhmity about that, but,:for: ow many years the "nigs"lifted the torch to* darkened hen-roosts, Smith fails to give the re? quisite amount of statistical information. # .. * * - * ? ; "Mr. Speaker the time has come when we must aot likosonsiblemen."

[From thc Houston Telegraph, January 27.] . - Tho worst e^ory that the Bourbon family. ever encountered ro8 tho great Napoleon. It was owing to his mighty genius and gigantic blows that Their rotten thrones crumbled and tottored into dustr And yet after his corpse had lain for fif? teen years beneath the silent willow of St. Helena, it was one of that family-Phillip of Orleans-who dispatched his own son, the Prince de Joinvillo, with a French fleet, to bring back the body of tho mighty foo of his house, to be interred "on the banks of the Se in o and in tbs? bosom of the people he loved so well." There was no prohibition of . the ''ringing' of bells," "popular or public de? monstration, but everything that wealth could gurchase or art invent was called into being to do onor to tho General of the Armies of France. - The people flocked from every town and village, thay came from tho far-off Provinces of: the "Kingdom to do homage at tho shrine of the great Emperor. The pall-bearers were of the distinguished soldiers, of the Empire-the mourrers were; of theroyal household of tho reigning family, chief among whom was tho hoir apparent to tho throne. There were ringing of belle-firing of cannon. Te jOeums were chaunted from Notre Dame to the Hospice of. St. Bernard.. Cardinals in purtle, and Monks in rags told their beads in i^ankfulneus. Those who had clung to the memory of the Titan soldier, who had followed him through the burning sands of Egypt-the sunny ?lains of Italy-the marshes of Holland, and the snows of Russia; and who would have sullenly died rather than have acknowledged a bow from a Bourbon, could but bless the name of tho noble "citizen King" who had thus boldly done honor to thc founder' of the opposition dy nosty.~ . AB many as wem the great acts of LOU?B Philippe-and he did more than any King of France had done for contnries-none so endeared him to tho French people as this sublimo act of courtesy to the remains of their great idol. It was left for this day and this hour to exhibit a people who boast of their liberties-cf their free? dom-of their republican form of government, tb creep hyena-like into J-.he sacred precincts of the tomb and desecrate tho dead body of as great an enemy as was thc Napoleon to France. Whon Beast Butler tore Opon tho metallic case enclosing the remains of Albert Sidney Johnston to despoil the mighty dust therein of any simple ornament which tue hand of affection might have placed there, he received for it the condemnation of tho civilized world. Yesterday, ono year and a half after tho sound of the last musket had ceased, to reverberate over the battle-fields of tho country, when the wrinkled front of war had been entirely smoothed, and a groat and heroic peoplo have lain down their anns and ard?ntly wish for entire quiet and peace; whon that peoplo wish to remove from a cemetery in a distant-Stato to one prepared in this the remains of ono of her lovod and honored citizens, and in the removal of those remains wish to "ring a bell" or "form a procession," to do honor to that gallant dead-comes an order from ono (who in that order writes himself down to all postarity as a fit companion to tho Beast of Lowell) prohibiting any "public demonstration" afc the funeral ceremonies of General Albert Sidney John? ston. Louis Pkillippe, of Orleans, King of tho French, although of a family noted for its imbecility, its effuto physique, and ita many crimoe, yet waa of a gentle blood, and of a knightly race that nevor did an act that could call tho blush of shame to their cheok. It needed a Yankee General, by the name of Grifiin. to give tho finishing touch to tho long hst of outrages that have shocked all Christendom for the last five years, by an order prohibiting that most sacred of all rights-tho right of proper sep? ulture to the doad.

MEXICO-Bio FIOUBES.-Tho New Orlwans Pica yune has received a briof statement of Mexican re? sources and finances, compiled from olhcialjpapers, principally those of Sr. LERDO DE TEJADA, the ac? complished historian of Yera Cruz.

Tho temporal pos? sessions in land of tho church, confiscated in 185?, are valued afc nearly $300,000.000. SUver coin in circrdation, 8100,000,000. Humboldt estimated the product oi thc silver mines, from tho Spanish conquest to 1803, at upward of $4,000,000.000. From 1733 to 1320, Ward estimated the total coinage at at $1,433,658.611. From 1826 to 1856 the coinage roached $478,392,014. The present annual yield of silver is estimated at $23,000,000; of gold, one to two millions. Maximilian's French loans amount? ed to $152,000,000.

T. C. .Petera, at the Maryland avenue depot'cf the Orango and Alexan? dria Railroad. Yesterday' a lad fished up a satchel from the sewer trap on the corner of 13th and E. streets, with a stick, and it was taken to the cen? tral guardhouse, whete'it was identified by Mr.. i 'eters as.th>^"ai?hel in;- which he had his money. No money-w??"" " Financial "Measurci In Congress. -We may judge from- t?ie. general tone of the commercial press that some changes in regard, to laws relative to the currency and banking organi? zations by the present Congress are expected. Many of the New York papera urge the adoption of the sinking fund and' currency: bill reported from the Committee on Banking and Currency. The Now York Jnd<^aer?," of the Mst ult., says ; The tono of the money market ia very weak still. Mr. B?ndall's Bill before ; Congress for the substi? tution, of greenbacks for National bank currency, finds great favor, in the street, which fears only its not passing, though the probability is that it mil. It 'is a measure that will tend to strengthen the market, and will withdraw a numbor of weak banks from competition. There is a dearth of-business in. , the West and Southe with large overstocks, of goods, which is accompanied: with a great want of currency.- .The oity banks, are contracting then loans; and their stock of greenbacks, as .well as of deposits, ia running down. Large margins on securities deposited for loans are, demanded, and loans aro restricted moro and more .and more. Seven per cent, is the raMv, . ?'he market Be ems to be in .the. very threes bf.'labor, threatening still more serious disturbance ?nd developments. Be? lief will hardly como till Congress separates. If it would pass Bandah's BUI and adjourn, relief would come all the sooner. - 1 - - On-the other hand, the. New York Mnanoial Chronicle of the 2d instant remarks as follows: We behove that in weU-informed circles at Washington it is regarded as certain that no,cur? rency legislation trhatevei* has he slightest proba? bility of passing. This belief as contributed to recovery from tho late \panic. *.-*.-* Should this expectation be..realized, e shall probably havo.no more severe flnanok panics for some time to come, if at least our business men . can bo persuaded to repress over-speculation and undue expansions of orodit. The' New York Herald, of Sunday, says of Mr. RANDALL'S Bill and the bank?: 'Mr. Ban dall'? o xe el loni Bill to curtail the enor? mous privileges of the ft?.tiohal Banks and to sub? stitute in the place of theirJg.rculH.tion a uniform, lego! tenderfgafcWBfijn iAigoTneywlthTothar: move? ments in Congress to ott down tho monstrous and dangerous monopoly, have aroused a roost formi? dable opposition from those interested in. the banks.' -Our Washington correspondent informs us that Jay. Cooke and a number of other promi? nent bankers had been in consultation with .tho Secretary of the Treasury,* the Comptroller of the Currency and the Senate Finance Committee, with a view or staving off any thorough action by Con? gress through.tho. introduction of-modified"and comparatively unimportant measures. We learn, too, that there is great anxiety among all ? that class, by reason of tho impression that Mr. Ran? dan's Bm will pass'. . - Wo foresaw the determined, opposition this measure would meet with, knowing that men- or corporations do nofcgive up great ^privileges' withr out. a desperate struggle. The Government im? providently and recklessly gave the'profits of three hundred millions of circulation to the national banks-equal to about twenty 'minions a year, which properly belonged to the people, and which the Government might Save by issuing legal ten? ders in.place- of - this currency.. We should be sur ?rificd if the hanks did not show resolute hostility ; any measure that threatened to-deprive thurn of these profits. The able bankers, Mr. SPALDING, of Buffalo, and Mr. OPDTKE, of Now York, hav? strongly express? ed, in recently published letters, their ..opposition to ?ho several billa.which have.cmanated from tho Committee on-Banking and the Currency. Not only Mr. RANDALL'S bill, but Mr. HOOPER'S bill, modifying the banking system, ia objected to by them. .. ^LOUISIANA.--A call appears in the New Orleans papers for a State Convention, to remodel tho Gov? ernment of Louisiana. The present Constitution of that State, as it is known, is the. offspring bf a military junto, ot which Gen. BASKS was the lead? ing spirit. It has never been approved by the peo? ple; in fact, it was set in operation in open defiance of their wishes. Necessity compelled obedience, and the deranged condition of the times . has pre? vented any effort looking to on expression of views in relation to it. Much , inconvenience, it is con? tended, has resulted to ail-elapses by certain pro? visions which it contains. An attempt to alter it. or remodel it throughout, will not, it is believed, occasion collision with the Federal Government. Whether , tho call we : have referred to will be responded to or' not remains to bo seen. There seems to be no doubt that the people generally are in favor of the movomont. "FIVE citizens of Rome, Ga., were arrested, a few days ago, by ordor-Of General Thomas, at tho instance of tho Bureau Agont, for displaying a Confederate flag. Their names are R. JV Hutch? ings, L. T. Mitchell, M. J. Pate, H. P. W?lls, and W. S. Gibbons. They were tauen to Atlanta, and are confined in the barracks." This proceeding, and the orders of GBIFI?TN and SHEBIDAN forbidding funeral honors to tho re? mains of General ALBEBT SIDNEY JOHNSTON, says the Richmond W?g, show- that the military mind is slow to take in the idea thal the ride of tho bayonet is over, and that, civil authority is again supreme in the land. Perhaps a suit for trespass of false imprisonment, with rattling damages by. a jury, would have a tendency to enlighten such men as General THOHAS. ? dispatch from Kansas City, Missouri, dated 2d inst., says: "Col. WATTEEMAN, contractor, com? mences work to-day on tho Kansas City, Fort Scott and Galvoston Railroad. Extensive prepara? tions have been made to push the work rapidly. Immense quantities ol' timber and rook ore being delivered on both sides of the Missouri river for tho bridges at this place.
