The United States owes the same protection to its naturalized citizen as to the native born. A bill was introduced yesterday by Windham, to amend the act for tho government of the rebol States and to facilitate their restoration. It amends section five of the act of March 2, 1867, so as to provide, that, if according to the returns in each State, a constitution shall be ratified by a majority of the votes of the registered electors, qualified as specified in the bill, the President of the Constitu? tional Convention shall transmit a copy of the same, duly cert ified, to the President of the United States, and it shall by him be laid before Congress, etc. The intent ie simply to make a majority ot' votes necessary t) the ratification of the constitu? tion.

The following is the resolution offered and adopt h ed Dy the Union League of Philadelphia last night : * Resolved, That having confidence in the ability, integrity and patriotism of General U. S. Graut, and believing that his political principles are in consonance with those of the Republican party, and grateful for the services he has rendered to his country, in every post of duty to winch ho has been called, we do hereby nominate him as the candidate of this League for the office of Prw>i dent of the United States. The London Times praises tho House for its re? fusal to impeach the President. It fears, however, that the President will accept the action of the House as a new endorsement of his policy, and from thia concludes that tho hope of a sound re const ruction most be deferred. Congressional. SENATE. WASHINGTON, December 10.-In the Senate to? day a communication was read from tho Secretary of the Treasury, stating that Mr. Cooper occupied the position of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under the act of 1795, which communication was referred to the Committee on Finance.

Service in the army of the United States at least one year; 2d. Ability to read and understand the nature of an oath; or 3d. Possession of two hundred and fifty dollar freehold in his own or wife's right. The above was offered as an amendment to Wil? son's bill making a majority of voters instead of a majority of those registered necessary to carry the constitutions. Mr. Wilson said that he did not know that it would be necessary to press his bill. Mr. Davis said that this was a white man's govern? ment, and ever would be; tho freemen of this country would never consent to have a President forced on them by negro electoral votes; he wanted this issue to come quickly, and invited Mr. Wilson to pross on with his bills. Mr. Stewart said that negro suffrage would not be the issue noxt Fall, and proceeded to defend the Reconstruction acts. Mr. Doolittle's amendment was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Drake's concurrent resolutions censuring the President for language used toward Congress in his Message, made an elaborate speech in which be assailed the President bitterly.

A Monster Petition to Congress arni the President. The New Orleans Crescent say? : "If tho United States Congress tRke heed of the popular voice in time, wo may bo eavod from much suffering. Act? ing on this belief, a number of gentlemen of both sections have agreed to suggest tho presentation of monster memorials to Congress and tho Presi? dent asking that the policy of the country may be immediately conformed to the actual needs of the situation, and to the expressed demands of public opinion. "Below will be found this memorial which has been prepared, and is recommended to tho South? ern people with this view. VTc would request our readers to bestow their earnest Attention upon it. We behove that they will agree with us in the conclusion that this movement, if it becomes geneial, may do much e,ood. Even if Congress refuses to modify its policy, the fact of refusal, iu the fice of an overwhelming expression of opi? nion from both sections of the country, will place it still more decidedly in tho wrong and strengthen the bauds of that great party which is to be charged with the final solution and settlement of these momentous u.iiestions|:'' To his Excellency the President and the Senators and Representatives of the United States Con? gress : The undersigned, citizens of the State of Lou? isiana, respecttully represent that the political de? velopments of tho" past few months have demon? strated tho fact that thc Reconstruction acts cf Congress will, if persisted in, produce a conflict of races which will result in tho desolation of tho country, aud the serious if not irreparable injury of both races in the Southern States. That the negroes of this State aro organized ?uto secret bands termed "Loyal Leagues," sworn and combined against their former owners and citizens of the State, in order to obtain control of the gov? ernment. That this credulous race bare beeu deluded by designing men luto the belief that tho prop erty of the white citizens of the State will, bo divid? ed among them. That, under these demoralizing influences they are daily refusing to fulfil tboir contracts, or labor for the support of themselves or their families. That, in consequence of this demoralization, planting in thin Stato has resulted in the ruinous failure of a large majority of our planters, and, of course, in the necessity Of its abandonment. That, before the close of thc present year, the negroes, with but few ex?eption?, will have con? sumed or wasted their wuges, or share of the crop, and bo destitute of the means of subsistence. That the white race will be compelled to limit their planting to the labor of their own families, while the negroes will not have the moans, if they had the capacity, to plant on their own account. Under these circumstances, famine, with all ita attendant tnrrors, must soon come upon this im? provident race. In view ol these impending calamities, the un? dersigned would earnestly appeal to the President and Congress to give prompt attention to this vi? tally important matter, and provide immediately such remedy as in their wisdom oan be devised, to avert the nun which, unless arrested, must speed? ily come upon us. COTE TOP. Com FEET. We are assured bv one who has given the experiment a fair trial, that cold feet, and especially those superlatively frigid feet that are kept chilled by perspiration, may be re? lieved by a simple expedient. This is to wear cot- . ton socks next the skin and woollen stockings out- I SK.OOI them. In the instance ol'our iuiormant, I the result was successful in keeping hi.i feet warm ar.ddry. The singular consequence also ensued that at night he would find the cotton 6oeks (next his ski ) quite dry, while the outside woollen stockin s would be perfectly damp. Tilinga iu Wushiiigtoit. THE IMPEACHMENT FAFLUBE-CONQKAT?LATION8 TO THE PRESIDENT-FUTUBE LEGISLATION OF CON? GRESS-RAVIVAI. OF THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE QUES? TION- FCBOBASE OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES SPANISH ALARM-GENERAL SHERMAN AND INDIAN AFFAIRS. Tho Washington correspondent ol'the Baltimore Sun writing on tho 8th instant says : Since thc vote on impeachment :vas taken yester? day thc President has been visited by a number of his friends, who calJcd to concrutulato him upon thc termination ot the effort to oust him from the executive chair. Among those who called to-night were several members of tho Cabinet and members of Congress. Tho Democratic members talk of calling in a hedy to express their sympathies. The defeat of the impeachers has produced a feeling of relief and gratification among all classes, save those who have been actively prosecuting the impeachment scheme. This irritating subject out of the way, members of both parties come together io ccusidcr the financial problem and give it their undivided attention. Developments within thc past few days show that there is a diversity of opinion on financial measures, alike among Republicans and Democrats and whatever of discussion arni action may be had thereon will not likely partake of a partisan char? acter. The only legislation now threatened of great na? tional importance upon which sharp party line* will probably be drawn is the negro suffrage* ques? tion, which is to be revived in the bill to enforce negro suffrage alike in all the States, and on this lhere will bo division amener the Republican mem? bers. The opponents of that measure, among whom may be mentioned Senator Trumbull, ap? pear to be in the majority. Thc treaty for the purchase of St. Thomas and St. John's islands may probably not be taken up for consideration in the Senate until next week. Meantime recommendations for tho purchase from representative commercial men aro coming in, and Senators indicate a purpose to delay action in the Senate until further indications of approval come from influential quarters. Information received here yesterday from tho Government of Spain discloses anxiety about the purposes of the United States Government, a re? port having reached the Spanish authorities to the effect that it is the intention of tho adminis? tration to get possession of Porto Rico and four or five islands, aud even Cuba. It is understood that Mr. Seward's explanation was such as to quiet the alarm of the Spanish Government. General Shorman, who arrived here yesterday, came especially upon business connected with tho Indian commissioners, and has already commenc? ed the preparation of his report of the proceed? ings of that commission. What has transpired already confirms the previous statement of your correspondent as to the purpose of General Sher? man's return, and tho same circumstances show how ridiculous aud unfounded were the sensation stories telegraphed to a Boston paper that Gene? ral Shorman was to return here in November last to take part in thal great bugaboo, tho Presiden? tial coup dr dat. DEFEAT OF TUE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTIONS IN THE HOUSE. Tli? Washington correspondent of thc New York Herald of Sunday writes: ..Impeachment is dead. The impeachment whip will no longer he held in terrorem over the Presi? dent. The sudden demise of this great movement has created as deep a sonsation as anything that has occurred since tho events of tho memorable month of April. 18G?. 'I he hotels and all other public places of resort for political gossip are crowded with earnest seekers after nows, commenting upon tho circumstances connected with the close of the famous Radical plot, and exchanging views as to the probable results. The President is said also to be in high good humor over the even's of the day, and is being congratulated to-night by his friends on the harmless issue of the crusade against him. The humiliating culmination of tho impeach? ment question in the House to-day termina toa this grand political farce, and there is uo mistaking thc relief indulged iu oven by those who have uni? formly been the support? rs of the movement. In January last, as is knowr, the notorious Ashley in? flicted this calamitous measure upon his party by moving the impeachment of the President. Since that time, at different periods, the labors of the Judiciary Committee have been unceasing, accu? mulating a mass of barren testimony, and closing tho zealous efforts of nearly one year in an utter failure to substantiate a singlo causo for impeach? ment, and stamping the entiro proceeding as an unparalleled' act of party animosity. Tho action of the House to-day was a fitting indication of the sentiments of reasonable minds upon thc injus? tice of the whole movement. The efforts ol tho impeachers yesterday to obstruct thc passage of Mr. Wilson's motion to lay the resolution of tho majority on the table demonstrated tho same spirit which directed thc whole course of the ad? vocates of the measure, and their utter failure to make a decent show of strength must necessarily cause a serious reaction in the popular miud. Upou thc a>sembl.ng of the House to-dav un effort was made to resume tho fillibustoring of yesterday. Mr. Logan, who was the prime mover of the Radical manouvres, expressed his determi? nation to make a speech if he were obliged to koop up thc contest for a month. Seeing tho impossi? bility of outwitting the parliamentary tactics of Mr. "Wilson, a strong pressure was brought to bear upon the latter to withdraw his motion and to allow a vote upon tho main question, declaring that no opposition would be made. To this Mr. Wilson assented, and withdrew his motion; bnt he stole a march upon his opponents by calling the previous question. Thc skilful manner in which this turn in the situation of a?airs was made, again defeated tho designs of the impeachers, and tho main question-the majority roeolution of the Judiciary Committee- waa placed fairly before the House." Various plans were resorted to to throw Mr. Wilson ott' his guard and indue 3 him to suspend his cai! of the provious question, but without avail. Thus cornered, the impeachers had no alternativo but quiotly to submit and answer to their names as tho roll was called. At this moment the confusion which hitherto pre? vailed during tho contest of thc advocates and op? ponents of impeachment was brought to a sudden termination. The galleries, which were crowdod with an attcntivo audience, were equally silent, and manifested tho deepest interest in those clos? ing scenes. The Speaker, before thc roll was called, cautioned the galleries against any demon? stration of approval or the reverse. Tho roll was called, and 57 naya against 108 yeas put cu em? phatic negative upon tue resolution. As the farcu is ended divers speculations aro going tho rounds us to the effect ol' the failure of the Radicals to make even a respectable show ot justice in their proceedings, ll pon the impeach? ment of thu Pres'dent, they evidently based a largo share of their political capital for tho ousu ?ng Presidential campaign. Their failure is looked upon as a great obstado in tho way of now making a strong case beforo tho country. The charges Bpread broadcast over tho country against the Prc'Bider.t, during tho late elections, can no longer be used, as the failure to impeach him, it is said, will uow tie used by the opposion aB an endorse? ment of his conduct. The Conservatives are more jubilant than ever. Thc encouragements afforded bv the recent elections have been forgotten in the defeat of the Radicals in their pel game of as? suming control of the executive power und pa? tronage. THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. The House Committee on Ranking and Curren? cy expect to bu in a positim soon to report their views to Congress. The minority will tako strong grounds against the contraction of the currency and against th? resumption of specie payments through any species of artificial legislation. Whilo they believe that no definite time can he s it apart for a return to specie currency without disturbing the commorjial interests of Ino country, they are satisfied to hold the opinion that the la ws which regulate the operations of trade, commerce and production will inevitably and in proper season in? duce the resumption of a coinage circulation. They propose to use no mincing language in denounc? ing the prostitution of the great financial interests of the nation to the advancement of party meas? ures, and, in alluding to the condition of tho South, they intend to show, in a statesmanlike and con? servative spirit, how fearfully detrimental to tho material prosperity of thu whole country past Con? gressional legislation hus proved itself. TUE PRESIDENCY. There is a very general confidence expressed that General Grunt will eventually lean to the Re? publicans, in which case tho Johnsonian party wil adopt the policy of pitting epaulettes against epaul? ettes, and from the wholo range of Conservative anny officers, from Sherman to Rousseau, any one maybe selected who is deemed the mos; available to lend it forlorn hope. PAYMENT OF rm; INTEREST os TUE STATE DEBT OK VIRGINIA, lt lias already Itecn stated that lite January interest >u the State debt of Virginia would be paid. In confirmation of tiii.- statement tho Richmond Dispatch says: General Schofield has instructed tito Auditor of the State to prepare tho necessary hooks und blanks for the Commissioners of the revenue for thc assessment of the taxes of lS?b". These will be assessed m accordance with the last tux hill adopted by thc Legislature-?. r. thirty cents on the hundred dollars assessed value of both real and personal property, and the same rates ol li? cense taxes now in loree. The Commissioners' books will be forwarded to them early in thc en? suing month, und they will commence their labors immediately thereafter. This order of General Schofield is issued in view of the fact that the Virginia Legislature does not issorublo this Winter, lt is intended to raise revenue enoagh not only to pay tho interest on the State debt, but to provide for the expenses ot the Stute Convention und other liabilities. SOLOMON'S TEMPLE STITT. ONE HUNDRED ANO FIFTY FEET HIGH.-Lieutenant-Warren, un officer nf the Royal Engineers, has, tor a long time past, been engaged, at the expense of an English soci lioty, in malting extensive explorations on the site >f the Temple of Solomon, in Jerusalem, and has tlready made some startling discoveries. He has, it is stated, established by actual demonstration that the South wall ot the* sacred enclosure which contained tho Temple, is buried for more than lialf its depth beneath un accumulation of ruL bi8h-probably the ruins of ihe successive build? ings which once crowned it-and that if bared to its foundation, the wall would present an unbroken tuce of (solid masonry of nearly one thousand feet long, ?nd for a ?urge imrtion of 'hat distance more dian o.'iu hundred aud fifty feet in height. Tho Vote oil Impeachment. Thc nieu who caat their votes in favor ol' the impeachment of the President, are destined, save the Wilmington Journal, to become as famous in histor)' as the man who fired the Temple of Del phos, and for no better or more noble deed. The Radical strength in the House is one hundred and forty-five. Of the absentees, but three took occa? sion to make known the fact of their favoring the resolution. There must, therefore, be eighty-five Radicals opposed to impeachment, considerably over half their number. How can men longer doubt the wholesome effect of the Northern elec? tions. Hie following is the vote upon the passage of the resolution : Jins.-Messrs. Anderson, AxnelL Ashley (0.), Boutwell, Bramwell, Broomall, Butler, Churchill, Clarke (O.), Clark (Kan.), Cobb.

During thc roll call it was stated that Mr. Cor? nell, of New York, had paired with Mr. Cake, of Pennsylvania, and that the latter would voto iu tho affirmative and Mr. Cornell in the negative. Mr. Broomall, of Pennsylvania, announced that Mr. Schofield was sick, but if here lie would vote right. [Laughter.] Mr. narpor made thc same announcement OH to Mr. TwitchelL Mr. Myers, ot' Pa., said aa he was refused per? mission to offer a resolution of censuro he would vote yea. Mr. Miller, of Pa., said he voted no because thc evidence was not sufficient to justify impoach ment. Mr. Eldridge said bo voled no for the same reason. After tho vote was announced a motion to re? consider and another motion to lay tho latter on thc table prevailed, thus preventing a resurrection of thc subject. COLORED DELEGATES IN THE VIROINIA CONVEN? TION.--The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch atalca that Mr. Lewis Lindaay, one ol' the colored delegates from Richmond to the Reconstruction Convention, now sitting in the cnpitol of Virginia, having been unable to preserve his aobriety under the exhilara? ting influences ol' membership of the Convention and six dollars a day, got into a difficulty on Wednesday morning with one of his fellow-citizens, who kept a saloon, on the subject of his political status, but was sufficiently cooled down by the time the Convention met, at twelve o'clock, lo par? ticipate in the proceedings of that body, where he made thc following speech on the proposition to appoint a stenographer to report tho proceedings : "Mis-far Prcsi-rfwir, / hope in dis late hour ob de struggle that old Virginia have been imperilled that no free-thinkin' man can sup-pose fur a mo moot dat wo desires to miariperaint de idee dat we eau t qualify de ability of do stcrnorgerphy for dis Convention. I hope evy good-thinkin'ge:itlc man will obsarve de necessity of bavin' a stenc gaphy, an' dat dey will bo willing', in do desire to gain "de ability of" de commonwealth of For ginny, to sec dat de gentleman is justly des?ree. I hope, sir, dat evy genterman wiil no~f_8co de necessity of bavin' di* Btonogerphy, ao dat we can den be able to undors'und de principles of dur proposition." [Laughter.] ["The above is a oerbatlim report." Mr. Lindsay's outburst was not without its ef? fect, for it is said to have been followed by a cau? cus of the Radical members of the Convention, at which it waa kindly explained to t he colored dele? gates that they had much to learn of the proceed? ings of legislative bodiea, and that it would, there? fore, be eminently proper for them to keep quiet until they should obtain tho necessary information. In view of the colored delegates in the Convention being thus put into loading strings, the inquiry ia pertinently propounded by the Dispatch, "what did radicalism bend them there for?" THE Co TON TAX.-The House bill exemptiug ill cotton grown after thia year from taxation is now under consideration by tho 8enatoFinau.ce Committee. Tho Washington Expresa savH : Two or threo members, at least, aro strongly apposed to it, and wc learn that Senator Morrill, af Vermont, will mako an elaborate argument igainst the bill when it comes belore the Senate. The Washington correspondent of tho New York Herald writes : There ia considerable difi?renos <>f opinion among tho Republicana upon the question of re? pealing tho cotton tax. Simple as it appears, and apparently di vested of the least claim to bo con? sidered ? party question, it lias nevertheless assumed such a shape when being Altered through the minds of some of tlio more extreme Radicals. Tho House bill exempting all cotton grown after this year looks a liberal boon enough on the face of it to tho suffering South, but, aa tho Conserva? tives hero shrewdly suggest, tho bait can easily bo withdrawn titter thu Presidential election aud tho Bcrow turned on again. Such miy bo tho extreme Radical intention, but tho reflecting portion of Congress sincerely deairo to relievo the Southern peoplu of this impost, willoh, judging by tho large number of petitions daily presented in buth Houses praying for ita withdrawal, must be felt as a severo barden. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, is reported to be preparing an elab?ralo argument against thc bill when it conies before the Senate for considera? tion. Nor TUE THIN? KOK CONGBESSHKK.-Tho New York Sun lias a sensible, article in relation to those Congressmen who are perambulating the Southern States with a view to manufacture political capital for the next Presidential election. The editor says: "Members of Congress, who are elected to re? present tho people, might find better business than that of employing stump speakers to rant through thc South, inflaming tho pass-ions and prejudices of the freedmen, and keeping alive the enmity between thc whites and blacks, ll it were not for such imported agitators in the South, tho political excitement there would soon dio ont, and both whites and blacks would go to work and en? deavor to repair tue loss sustained by tho war. Self-interest demands tint the Southern whites shall treat. Hie negroes well, nnd that thc latter shall resume their old industrial pursuits. They would fraternize, harmonize, and forget the past", if thero were no extr nicolis influencera to hinder mutual concessions. But so long as agitators are lured to go among the negroes to fill their heads with stories about their wrongs, and to arrav them in social and political hostility to the whites, so long will thc South remain prostrate. Every man of sense knows that peace, tranquility and freedom from excitement are now thc great needs ol' thc Smith, and members of Congress should be the last persons to fan the flame of discord and to prevent thu roturo of harmony between the freedmen and the whites." -. ? ? DIVISION OF PBIZE MOSEY. Prize lists Lave been preparad at the office of the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury for tho amount of prize money due for capture of th? late blockade-running steamer Deer.

March 30 lyr I MISCELLANEOUS. . PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND ?SURGERY. THE PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY QF MEDICINE AND SURGERY was organized in 1848. Chartered by the Legislature, February 2G, 1853. Nara c changed by ti legislativo enactment to the Eclectic ?V. ed ?cal Col? lege, ?f Philadelphia, in 1800. In 1863 it purchased the Pennsylvania Medical college, es.shushed in 1342, and the Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously been merged Into the Pennsylvania Medical < 'ollege. Cn 186-1 it purchased the Penn Medical University. Tho Trustees of Ute separate schools united, petitioned and obtained a special Act of thc Lepis.ature, consolidating ? these institutions and changing their munee to that of the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, March 15,186.r>. All these various Acts aro publi. hed in the statutes of Pennsylvania. Tho cost of the I utlding I and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars. It will bo observed that the University, as now organirad, is the legal representative of the four Medical Colleges that it has absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicino, con? fined to no dogma, nor attached io any medical cliques, but embraces in its teaching everything ol value to the profession. Sessions.-It has two lilli sessions each year, commenc? ing on tho 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January, as its first session, and from tho 1st of January to the 1st ol April, as its second; the two constituting ono tull couran of lectures. It baa also a summer session, commencing thc 1st April and continuing until August, for thc preparatory branches, euch os Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatoniy Physiology, etc. Tickets.-Tickets to tho full rourse of lectures $120, or $60 for each session. For the summer or preparatory course $25. Graudatuag tee $30. To aid yonng men of moderate means, the University has issued five hundred scholarships, which are sold to first-course ?tadenta lor $75. and to second-course student? nd cl?.?ymen for $60, each constituting the holder a L1 . rr ruber, with the perpetual privileges of tho lectures, and all the teachings of tho school. The only additional lees are a j early dis? secting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $5. The Advantages of Scholarships.-The student holding a scholarship can enter thc College at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the inst! ration as frequently as desired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, all private tuition foes are saved. Students, by balding e ... ' jrships, can prosecute other business a part of the tim Thc candidate for graduation eau present himself at any rime, and receive his degree as soon as qualified. In case a stu tent should hold scholarship and not be able lo attend lectures, it can bi transferred to another, thus preventing any loss. Parents, guardians or friends of students wishing to pur.-haso scholarship for them a year or more before their attendance at the University, can secure them by advancing one-half thc price and paying the balance when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow groat benefit upon poor young men by presenting them a scholarship, and thus enabling them to ootain an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians and surgeons. The University has associated with it a large hospital clinic, whoto every form of medical and surgical disease is operated on and treated in the pres? ence of the class. COLLEGE BUILD INO.-The College building, located In Ninth street, south of Walnut, ls the finest in the city. Its front Ls collegiate gothic, and is adorned with em battlements and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold, and beautiful appearance. Thc facade is of brown stone, ornamented by two towers, rising to the elevation ol eighty feet, and crowned with an ombattled parapet Tho building contains botween fifty and sixty rooms, all supplied with water, gas, and every other convenience that modern improvement can contribute to facilitate medical instruction. Only live hundred scholarships will be issued, and as two hundred and lilly are now sold, those who wish to secure one should do so at once. Money can be remitted by express, or a draft or checa scut on any National Hank in thc United States, when the scholarship will be returned by mail, signed by the President of the board of Trustees, JOSEPH S.
