DEATH OF PBOF. JAMI"*? PHILLIPS.--he Raleigh papers announco tho suu.de" death of Dr. James Phillips, Professor of MathouTatics and Natural Philosophy at tho State Univers^ at Chapel Hill, on Thursday last. The manner of fcadeath is r! ?? tailed as follows in a letter to tho Sentinel: CHAPEL HILL, March 14, .1867. The Rev. James Phillips, D.D., Professor* of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, and senior member of tho Faculty ol* tho University, is no moro. Though his health for the past two or three years has not boen very robust, and tho weather this morning \ cry inclement, with his ac? customed punctuality ho went to the Chapel, in ad^auoo of Ino swiiiinons by tho t. ohego bell, for tho purpose ol' oflioiating at morning prayer. Mr. Herbert Mullett; a member of tho Juuior Clasaj on entering tho Chapel after the bell h;id begun lo ring, saw tho Docto.- seated alone ou the ros? trata, ?OWCI? to him, ?md, his 3 lue;-.ion nut being -returned; approached; and just tis ho reached iho rostrum perceived that ho was failing from hin .seat. He dropped to tho floor inmio. iateiy in th?) rear of thc puiyit, and died in less thau ten min? utes. Dr. ?iftllott, the family physician, was iu at? tendance just as pulsation was ceasing. Dr. Phillips was born in tho County of Esses, England, on tho icldof April, 1792. ST. PATRICK'S BAY. St. Patrick's day falling on Sunday, the gon eral celebration was postponed until the next day, but tho Catholic churches wore crowded with tho devotees of the Saint, and at St. Pa? trick's Church the ceremonies were peculiarly interesting, and the discourse by tho Rev. Dr. JNO. 3IOOBE, the pnstor, displayed a thorough knowl? edge of his subject. Tho church was beautifully decorated with ever? greens, and great taste was displayed by the ladies of tho congregation, in making tho wroathosand ornaments used on this occasion. The - music of tho orchestra and choir roflected great credit on tho manager, tho Rev. JNO. SHACHTE. Tho sermons in thc different churches all biro upon the grand topic of the day, and tho pastors inculcated on their flocks the precepts first advanced by ST. PATRICE. ST. PATRICE'8 BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Monday being set apart as the genuine ST. PAT? RICK'S Day was celebrated in a becoming style. St. Patrick's Benevolent Society and the Hibernian Society met and celebrated their anniversary in the usual manner. St. Patrick's Sooiety celebrated thoir nf. ic th anniversary or a golden epoch in the genuine Irish style. This association comprises among its members many of our best citizens, and has always beou considered ono of the most prom? inent charitable organizations in the city. They met at 9 A.M. yesterday, at Masonic Hall, and, preceeded by aband of music, marched to St. Joseph's Church, where a most excellent discourse was delivored by the Rev. J. C. CBOOGHAN. Mr. CHOOGHAN dwelt principally upon the character and antecedants.of the Saint, and, if our space admit? ted, a synopsis of his remarks would be both read? able and impressive. After the eermon the asso? ciation marched through the principal streets to their Hall, corner of Wentworth and King streets, and there partook of a lunch. At 5 P. M. the so? ciety re-assembled and proceeded to an election, which resulted in the following choice : Rev. J. C. OBOGHAN, President JAMES COSGROVE, First vice-President THOMAS MAHER, Second vice-President JAMES F. SLATTERY, Treasurer. JOHN MCMAHON, Secretary. Committee on Finance.-Gart Byms, B. Bodden, ?. D. Mulvaney, John- barry, John D. Kennedy and James Dotage.' Committee oh 2&it#-George Tandy, Chairman; Thoa. Finneran, Michael Kennedy, James Wallace, James Barry and James Muldoon.. Committee on Leiters.-Michael Feehans, James Paw Bon and Patrick Kennedy. The company, with their invited guests, then sat down to a banquet furnished for the occasion, and the happy wit which i? inherent in every Heborman breast, generated a pleating inter? change of setimcuts which kept the guests en? chained until a late hour. THE HIBERNIAN SOCIETY. At the regular annual meeting yesterday of this Sooiety the following gentlemen were elected officers for the year ensuing. The meeting was marked with that-harmony and good feeling which has always characterized the delibera tiona of this Society: JAMES E. ROBINSON, President W. H. GTI.IiTT.AiND. Vice President. JAMES Ju PATTERSON. Treasurer. THOMAS O'BRIEN. Secretary. JOHN BURKS, HaB Keeper; - Commute* on Finance-C. H. Simonton, J. W. Brown? field, A. P. Caldwell, Bernard O'Neill, Adam B. Glover. Committee on Belief-M. P. O'Connor, W. H. Houston, J. M. Mulvaney, Wm. White, Geo. A. Bowman. Committee on Hall and Grounds-John F. O'Neill, C. C? Trnmbo, J. McConkoy. THE DINNER. Atc o'clock the members and invited guests as? sembled in the capacious dining-room on tho first Soor of the Hibernian Hall. The scene that offered io the eye upon entering was of dazzling splendor. The tables were arranged with great taste, and although two hundred guests were present, there was no crowd. The coup d!ou ot the tables was brilliant. The pretty ornamental dishes, the glitter of glass, china and gas-light, the largo array of excellently trained waiters, and that good-humored faco of mino boat himself, tho renowned PURCELL, and his several assistant ?hiefs, all were pleasing indications of the good things that were to come; and wo found upon trial \ Afterwards that the eventfully warranted our an- . ?cipations. } MULLER'S Band enlivened the occasion with their j Dxcollent zntisic, a great addition at such times, to } hewn the ditter of knife and fork with more me- J [odious sound. The bill of fare, handsomely print? ed, was crowded with the delicacies of the new ( continent and the old. There was tho greatest ? rariety, and the best and rariest of everything; ? md never have we seen guests around a festive board enter into the material part of tho exercises ivith more "asst than was the case at tho old Hi ber- c tuan. Mr. PURCELL has every reason to feel grati? fied at the appreciation his guests accorded his j labors.' . | THE President, JAMES K. ROBINSON, Esq.. pre- , sided over the feast, assisted by Messrs. JOHN P. O'NEIL, CHARLES H. SIMONTON, Vice President j WM. H. Gm,IT.AND, and Secretary, and the very . efficient steward PATTERSON. TO the right of the President sat Chancellor H. D. LESESNE, BICHABD J YEADON, and SIGNOR MONCADA, the Span?h Con- j sut. To his left Honorable GEORGE S. BEVAN, Judge of the U. S. District Court, and others, j The viands having been duly discussed, pleas- j tn gi y diversified with music and merry chat, tho cloth was at last removed to make room for ' tho next courso, 1 'the feast of reason," . The President opened the flow of soul by giving - the following "first regular toast :" The Day we "(^ora^e-Gratefully do we hail its return, .hallowed with the memories of the past, 1 rich in the prospects of the future. j 1 t Besponded to by Gen.-JAKES CONNOR, in his i usual earnest and eloquent manner. 1 Mr. GiLLXLAND offered the nezt regular toast: j ' Ireland-The Land of Genius, Valor and Song. 1 The nations lament her Borrows, and anxiously j await the day of .har"regen01 ation. : Responded to by Hon. GEORGE S. BRYAN, United States District Judger in his usual felicitous man? ner. He closed by offering the following : ( John ?rigM,l7i?.MglislMan--'Xhe Champion of , Ireland-ihe Friend of America-the universal lover of justice and of hum amty. Mr. O'NEILL next ofiered- 1 The President of Hie United States. ' Answered in a most eloquent manner by M. P. : O'CONNEB, Esq., who, in his turn, gave the follow in g sentiment : "Constitutional Liberty, the hope and the : aspir?t: on of j Irishmen all the world over.!' The Hon.' CHARLES H. SIMONTON next offered the following regular toast : . . South Carolina-She gives her ohildren wi honor? ed name: they will best preserve it by maintaining her ancient reputation. Responded to by Senator J. B. CAMPBELL in words of fervent pathos. Wo would do tho gentle? man injustice were we to attempt to reproduce his remarks. Mr. vice-President CAREW toaBtod the Judiciary of South Carolina : "The wisdom and virtue which have adorned it in the past, are fitly illustrated in our learned Chancellor, H. D. LESBESNE.'* Mr. L. arose, greeted by loud cheers, and re? sponded in an earnest mauner, listened to atten? tively by all, and received with great enthusiasm. He closed with tho following sentiment: "Passive heroism, the virtue to bc especially cultivated by tho down-trodden South." Mr. W. E. MIKELL ofiered the following: Our Sister Societies-Wo welcome them to our board to-night in the spirit of that large fellow? ship with wnich humanity resuonds to their deeds of cuurity. .Responded ta by Mr. YEADON, President of the Fellowship Society, who, at the conclusion of his remarks, gave the following : The Hibernian Society-Tho Shamrock grafted on the Palmetto, rich in its fruit of hospitality and tho virtue'of benevolence. Hon. CHARLES H. SIMONTON next offered the health of WILLIAM WHALE*, Esq., in very compli? mentary terms, and while he was speaking we left tho hall. One of tho incidents of the evening it may not, perhaps, bo amiss to note. One ol' tho round tables near the door, surrounded by accompanying extra spirits, was vacated early in tho evening. Wo wore am used seeing tho surpriso of the waiter, as he returned from thc pantry, and found tho vacant chairs. Bewildered, ha lifted up tho pendant table cloth, and peered underneath to seo if the heroes were under tho table. Tho Badical leaders now speak of Congress as the "supremo legislative power." Missouri vineyards aro said to be in excellent" condition. In New OrloaiiB some of Bistori's admiring au? ditors appeared in their shirt-sleeves. A profound "incompatibility" exists between Prince Napoleon and tho Empresa Eugenio. Our Washington Letter. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DATXX NEWS.] THE CONGRESSIONAL NUISANCE REFUSING TO ABATE ITSELF. THE CAPITAL, March 16th, 1867.-We are likely to have our hopes of an early adjournment most unceremoniously dashed, by the action of the House. As I intimated in a former letter, tho strength of even the very few members who favor impeachment grows to be something colosal, when exercised upon a House that has nothing to do but wait paitently upon tho movement of the Senate. And thus it is already being proven in the Representative Chamber, and I fear, with a power of arresting congressional adjournment, to which there will bo little availing opposition. The movement was made yesterday in the simi? litude of a resolution by LOGAN-BEN. BUTLER'S right hand man-to instruct the Speaker to com? plete the formation of Committees for tho Fortieth Congress, commencing with the appointment of the Military Committee. This motion, which was put twico, under different guises, and which, if carried, at once places the House upon a business footing, and induces an indefinite prolongation of the session, only failed by a vote of fifty-five to sixty-five, and required but the chango of five votes to carry the proposition. LOGAN himself avows that it was only thrown out as "-a feeler," and that, in approximating so nearly to a success? ful consummation, he sees the sure promise of ul? timately obtaining his end. The significant fact, however, which points with Buch dubious certainty to a lengthened sitting of this extra extraordinary Congress, ?B in the action of the House Committee on Expenditures, which, under a pretence of investigating and reporting upon certain abuses in the New York Custom HOUBC. has in re ah ty struck hands with the im? peachment junto, and with the hitter is conniving to so protract the session as to enable the Judiciary Committee to complete their case against the Ex acutive, and present tho several counts for his in? dictment and impeachment. This coalition was formally apparent yesterday by the adoption of a resolution providing that the Committee on Expenditures shall investigate the conduct of HENRY A. SMYTHE, Collector of the Fort New York, with a view to impeaching that officer, mould he be found to have been guilty of bribery ur ether crime. This is all that appears upon the mrfuce, but tho key to the plot is in a private un leistanding that immediately after disposing of the President's veto to the Supplementary Recon? struction Bill, which is now before the Benate, the Committee above referred to will report in favor of impeaching SMTTHE. The House, having author? ed the preparation of the report, cannot well de? stine to give it immediate action, and so at least tom* weeks of further business is at onuc made a ''special order" not to be arrested. And then comes the coup (Fetal of the impeachers. Tho Judiciary Committee, which : is putting forth herculean efforts toward the preparation of evi? dence against the President, have promised, upon the faith of Mr. BOTHWELL, of Al asa ac un se tts, to be in readiness to report by the last week hr April. By tho programme I have already inchoated, the House wilt be made to wait upon the Judiciary, and thus is opened the prospect of an endless ses? sion. . . THE AMENITIES OF DIPLOMATIC LIFE. Yesterday, Senor FECUNDO GONI, tho newly ar? rived Spanish Minister, was presented to the Presi? dent, and "passed the time of day" with our Sec? retary of State. Mr. OOKI is a dark, handsome man, about forty years old, whose diplomatic lifo has been passed mostly in South American Repub? lics, like all new-comers, he is a stioklor for the pomps and circumstance of his position, and in visiting the Executive mansion yesterday he per? sisted in wearing the full uniform of his order, notwithstanding the advice to tho contrary of the attaches of his legation, who have been here long snough to bocomo Americanized into contempt for such mummery. Howbeit, the Minister repaired :o the State Deportment in "full cap and feather," ind thence was escorted to the White House by Secretary SEWARD. Of the subsequent interview . sith the Chief Magistracy, there is nothing worth recounting, aa it partook entirely of that school? boy declamation which has boen in vogue for the reception cf foreign representatives in this coun ry throughout the last decade. It may not bo uninteresting to remark, however, hat ISABELLA'S agent was not a little disconcerted it the outset of the morning ceremonies, to find Hr. SEWARD waiting to receive him, clad in robes io more decorous than parti-colored dressing iown, and a very limp collar and cravat. His Bur irise was still further heightened when, on step? ping into tho dingy old carraige, Which tho Depart? ment hires by tho year for the use of the Premier, io found scated opposite the doorkeeper of Mr. SEWARD'S apartments, who was accompanying the jarty as a bearer of tho inevitable portfolio of 'tate papers. Her Majesty's Minister had been startled slightly by Mr. SEWARD'S rakish morning iostume, but at being forced to sit vis-a-vis with a nessenger of tho Department, and rah his gold ace and decorations against the flimsiness and seediness of SEWARD'S old coat, quite unsettled lis reflections for tho remainder of the day, as I earn privately from parties intimate with his Le? gation. It does seem a little cruel that because SEWARD is a slatternly old fellow-unkempt and fossilized : ven when brought to the surface on State occa? sions-we cannot peremptorily put a BJ op to such jutrageous woundings of the sensibilities of every foreign minister who for the first time comes with? in our midst. Let the "Blue.Book" hereafter pre? scribe the clean linen in which tho head of tho State Department shall be arrayed from week to week, and, at tho same time, expressly tabooing the presentment of that forlorn old morning gown on public occasions. THE REDMAN Di WASHINGTON. About ono hundred Indians, representing a score or'moro of tribes, are still sojourning in the city. Their appearance has created quite a sensation, and the barracks in which they aro housed at the expense of their Great Father, is sought aud visit? ed with something like the avidity and zest which attracted publio attention alter tha Japanese a few years ago, They are frequently waited upon by hosts of distinguished ladies in quent of a moving novelty, and aro made to perform various approxi? mate gyrations to the war dance of their nativo heath. A few days since ono of the members of tho Prussian Legation conceived the idea of inviting about twenty of tho dusky wretches to a sort of tea-drink.ng, at which a hundred or so of fashion? able people lent their assistance. Both the ladies and tho Lidians wore not a little startled at the gorgcousnes of their respootive costumes, and it was hard to say which c{ tho twain were the most highly colored. VIDEX. MP--?-? Kunulcutt in P'rcrfurl^ji .burg. Tho Now York Herald's correspondent from Fredericksburg, Va., (March 12.) after aayinc that thc ontiro population of tho place numbered six thousand, among whom they are only about six hundred negroes, ho proee sds : This city was the sccno of a great many of tho exploits of that eccentric individual Rev. J. W. Hunnicutt, who figured in varions characters, as pi cacher, po iticiau and mountebank, both before aud during the war ; but who from his very pecu? liar nature bas made himself here, where he is known, exceedingly unpopular among whites and negroes. The latter class aro particularly bitter against thisp-rson, as was demonstrated by a meeting held here last evening, which was address? ed by a Dr. Harriss, connected with the Bureau. The sable Doctor advocated Hunnicntt's principles, and defended that person ; but ho found his sable hearers wee not disposed to be gulled-one of their mini ber, a Mr. James Brooks,-effectually crmbattiug all tho remarks of the man of medi? cine Tho reverend mulatto is expootad here to-mor? row night, when he intends to harangue the ne? groes in his usual Richmond style; hut I am as? sured by colored citizens of respectability that he will meet with no reception, o thor than a tin-pan serenade. Tho city is garrisoned by two companies of tho Twenty-first United States infantry, formerly Sec? ond Battalion Twolf h infantry, commanded by Captain MeC. Netterville, Major Johnson is in charge of the Bureau, as well as the commander of the forces, and attends legitimately to bis omi business. Tho troops occupuy the Citizens' Hall, on ritre.-s Ann street, once used as a theatre, and a placo tor holding political moetings. These two companies aro veli satisfied with the location, and for their amusement aud improvement Imvc estab? lished two reading rooms here, at which all the k acting newspapers and periodicals of thc day are received. A co f plaint u however made of nut re? ceiving tho Sunday Herald, a paper wiiich they say always supplies tho deficiency in the news of the week. In plain English lico eggs have been found in ''waterfalls." Dreadful isn't it? PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. . In the Senate on Thursday several petitions were presented and referred. A bili was reported back formally authorizing the Atlantic Telegraph Company of New York to make soundings and lay a cable on the American coast. Mr. Pomeroy in? troduced a bill authorizing the Postmaster General to contract lor the weekly transportation of a mail between New York and Bremen. Some other busi? ness of an unimportant nature was transacted, af? ter which Mr. Trumbull called up the Supplement? ary Reconstruction bill. Mr. Drake offered an amendment authorizing the registered voters to de? cide whether they ? hould have a convention or not. Aleugthy debate ensued, during which Mr. Fessen den declared that rather than force tho people of the South hack into the Union he would keep them out. The amendment was rejected by a vo i e of 17 yeas to 27 nays. Mr. Drake then offered another amendment requiring the electors to vote by closed ballots, and providing that such Bhall be the mode of voting in future, unless otherwise ordered by consent of Congress. Messrs. ConkUng, Fessen den. Doolittle, Wilson, Henderson, Buckalow and Corbett, spoke against the amendment, denouncing seorot bail?te. Pending the discussion the Senate went into executive session, and soon after ad? journed. In the House Mr. Covode offered a resolution calling for a select committee .to investigate cer? tain charges of irregularities in the Treasury D?? partaient. Mr. ChancLer objecting, the resolution went over. A Bill was introduced fixing the time for the election of Representatives and Delegates to Congress; also one making eight hours a dav's work for all mechanics and laborers employed by tho Government. A petition asking that the same privileges be extended to sailors as are now ex? tended to soldiers was presented. A resolution was offered instructing the Committee on Elec? tions to report whether Mr. Hunt or Mr. Ohilkcott was entitled to the seat as a Delegate from Colo? rado, i FBTDAY'B PBOCEEDnraS. The Senate passed the joint resolution to pro? hibit the eale or use of malt and spirituous liquors in the Capitol building. A Bill was passed to pro? vide for the better security bf the lives of passen pers on steam vessels. The supplementary. Ach to the Bill to "provide for the more efficient govern? ment o" the rebel States was then taken up. The pending amendment, requiring that all electors shall vote by ballot, was rejected. Ooo or " two amendments were adopted and the Bill said aside until to-day. Jp lt The House adopted a resolution authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the coin and bul? lion now in the Treasury, claim d by cor min banks ip Richmond. Va., and to retain the money derived from such sale. A resolution was adopted direct? ing the Committee on Public Expenditures to take into consideration the report made at the last ses? sion relative to abuses at the Dew York Custom House. Another resolution, : which was also adopted, directs that if said Committee find that Mr. Smvthe, the Collector of the Port of New York, bas been guilty of bribery or- ofter' high crime, it shall report articles, of impeachment to the House. ' John Mitchel. As we copied the statement about Mr. MITCHEL we feel bound to.do him the justice of publishing his denial We also take this opportunity of rec? tifying another mistake, viz: That he is a writer on the Richmond Dispatch. i We have it authoritatively that Mr. MITCHEL at present is not connected with any newspaper or periodical whatsoever. RICHMOND, VA,, l?th March, 1837. ; Io the Bailor of the Richmond Times : Sra :: I observed that tho Times has reprinted a long and circumstantial statement representing me, said to be taken from a Dublin paper, in which it is asserted, amongst other things, that I have " consented to be the future chief of -the Fenians on both sides of the Atlantic :". and further, that " tho sack of Chester Castle (in England) was pre? vente i by th 3 order of John Mitchel.'' I am not the chief of the Fenians on either: side of tho At? lantic; and I never sent any order, %or knew of any order being sent, to regulate, to further, or to: prevent any movement or proceeding of the Fe-: nians, either in England, in Canada, in Ireland, or in tho United States. "' I I find, further, that American and Irish, jour? nals have printed a certain letter addressed to Captain Gra: e, Fenian organizer for Minnesota, and purporting to have been written by me. It is true that I dU reply to a communication'from this; Captain Grace, but the letter which I wro.o is not the letter which he has published.. I g.ve him; permission to print my answer; but, instead of do-, ing so, he has given such parts cf it as he thought might serve hi8 own branoh of tho Fenians, sup presssd the rest, and altered what he has jointed. Such are the perils, and. eometimes tbo p^rdties, of answer, ng letters from "Centres" that are not in the circle of your acquaintance. Tho substance of what I wrote was, that while I approved of the Fern?n organization in America and in Ireland, I disapproved strongly of calling on the people for largo contributions "of money for immediato milit .ry operations, under tho .delusion that anything important could be effected, either in Ireland or in Canada, so long as England is at Ssa co both with France and with fr e United tates:-that I thought it wrong and cruel to de? mand such socr ces and such risks from the Irish settled in America, upon the faith of every man who promises 1 "insurrection in the harvest," or "war this year." or any given year:-~that ic was too much in the Irish character to be impatient for quick results; and that if the organizations here could content themselves with keeping up their own exi?tenco for the present, demanding no larger subscriptions than are sufficient forthat purpose, I ehould be happy to co-operate with them, waiting patiently for the essential condition of all effective movement-war between England and either of the other powers I have named. It is with groat reluctance I have made these rectifications, because I greatly respect and ad? mire the patriotic eagerness of my countrymen-for the destruction of English dominion in their na? tive country; and it is.painful to me to say a word which looks liko discouragement. Nothing but the bxtonsive misuse of my name could have in? duced me to break my silence. ' Your obedient-servant, . . JOHN MITCHELL. The Progress fl) of Impeachment, The Cincinnati' Commercial, a strong Republican paper, has the following from Washington: "Tho public have not yet been gratified with a glimpse of the immense mass -of testimony taken by the* Judiciary Committee on the subject, ot im? peachment, but it is: very fair to presume that it ia for tho most part'bosh and nonsense, ebie "wo should h?ve1 hau a different report of Che progress from that made on the mght before,the close of the session. ? ' ; . . '<; ;. ; . ,j . "The committee had been in session almost day and night foi two months. It had examined every witness suggested by the enemies of tho Presi? dent. It had sent for men in New Orleans, and every other part of tho country. - One of its mem? bers-Judge Lawrence-had gone on a secret mis? sion to Canada, to toke tee tim ny there. He Y boasted when he was about to start that he would bring back evidence enough to ? convict tho Presi? dent, if all else failed. . ' j , "What ho did bring back.; i?! not: known to the outside world, b_t as it. is contained in what, take a.together, did-notf in the opinion of tho com? mittee, furnish sufficient grounds for ' impeach? ment, it may be concluded that it doesn't amount to much. "The ordeal to which tho President's private character, as well as his public record, hau been subjected, is one from which there are very few men in tho United States who could escape un? harmed. "Every person who knew or pretended to know anything to his detriment, has been closely ques? tioned. The foulest scandal and meanest gossip, of the streets have been solemnly resolved into de-' DOsitionB against him,. Men whoso testimony would not be rocoiv<-.d" unchallenged before thc pettiest .police judge,-have been called upon to swear against him, and ho has hal no opportunity to defend himself againBt the most malignant calumnies or the vilest slander. '.And yet, after this drag-net of filth and libol has boen atw-rk for nioro than two months, wo .re told, practically, that*enough has not yet boon discovered against him to warrant an indictment, and moro time is asked to complete tho work. "Now, it will bo admitted on .all hands that tho President ca?uoot bo impeached, except for/hign crimes and misdemeanors.' "Is it very likely hat auch offences as would con? stitute these high crimes and miademe nora aro so thoroughly secreted from public guzo as not only to havo oscapod tho notice of tho pre s of the country, , but to have evaded for two months tho keen eyes of tho political soavon?-ers who havo boon at work to look them up V I think not." A .\nv National Debt. The following wo clip from the Boston Post of Thursday : The claips of loyal men, North and South, for property taken or for property destroyed during the progress of Ihe war, beguii to come in at the beginnii.g of tho first session of the last Congress, and were referred to tho Committoo on Claims, at tho head of which was Hon. Columbus Do. lano, of Ohio, one of tho aolost and most oonsiderato men in public life. The New York Times says: " So startled was tho Committee by the amount of these claims that they reported a reso? lution, which was forthwith adopted, that until otherwise ordered no claims of thia character from thc citizens of the Southern States should be en? tertained. But this was simply a tcmporaiy eva? sion of an inevitable duty. It was like Bhutting one's eyes to a danger too fearful to bo faned. Tho Committee did not dare to let the country under? stand tho oxtont of these claims-which are per? fectly just, and can no more bo ignored than can the Seven-Twenties or any other part of the public debt. What the amount of theso claims will provo in the end to be, tho country has no moans of knowing. Mr. Delano has intimated two or throe times, wliilo urging vigorous measures of taxation in Congress, that they would bo large enough to tax to tho utmost the resources aud thc courage of the wholo country. And we havo very good reason to behove that tao amount of such ot huno ola.ms as will bc found tu bc perfectly just, and auca as must bu paid, will approach very nearly, if it does no: equal, what ia iuidcrsto.)d to be t.io present ag? gregate of tuc .National Debt. This may acorn ex ua.'agant, as it certainly is alarming ; hut we be? lieve time will show tuat it ia not an over-atateiuoni of tho actual fact."
