Adjournment Finally Fixed-The Blue Ridge Railroad Temporarily Sa?fe BU In Passed, Enrolled, and Ready for Ratification-The Appropriation Bill Hidden TJnder a Bushel-The K. K. K. in York. [FROST OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, Tuesday, February 2?. The Senate and House, but more especially the former, went to work in real earnest to-day, and disposed of considerate business. The first matter under consideration a'ter prayer and roll call was thejolnt resolution relative to adjourning on the ist 3: Match. lu the Uonse, Tomm intro? duced a concurrent resolution to r-?scind the joint resolution, and TO continue in session until the 7th of March. Jones moved to lay fee resolu? tion on the table, and Yocum called t?ie previous question. The motion to lay on the table was lost by a vote of 45 to 45, and the concurrent.res olution then adopted by a vote of 53 to 42. On reading lt In the Senate, nay ne moved that the resolution be Indefinitely postponed. Whittemore declared rhat the Senate was not responsible for the required extension of time. It had not been the intention of theHoase to adjourn-they had triced wi?h the Senate in withholding the appropriation bn?^untlll the eleventh hour, aud concluded: "Why should we stay i.-;re to help railroad job? bers who contlnua'ly assail our ears to lead u9 astray to rob the State ? I shad vote, for Mr. Hayne's motion, be anse 1 deem it my duty." Smart favored the motion, and Nash said, that if lt was their duty to stay, they should do so, Inde? pendent of- what the public might say. Leslie thought If the wishes of the people had been con? sulted, none of ihem would be there. Havne. daring his remark?, tock the Reform.senators to task for aiding in the postponement of adjourn? ing, by allowing the renate to adjourn on the evnlng previous without doini; any business. On a call ol the ayes and nays, the Senate concurred m the r?solution by a vote of 17 to 14. On mot on of Whit'?nore, a motion to reconsider was Indefi? nitely postponed by a vote or 24 to 5. This pre? cludes all further attempts to extend the time after the 7th. THE GREENVILLE RAILROAD IN THE SENATE. The bill to swln 'ie the Srate out of two millions of dollars for the benetlt of a few "Jobbers" con? nected with the Greenville and Cslambla Rail? road, came up ia the Seiate to-day and received a Href,reading. Whittemore rose to a question of privilege, and asked the president whether, lu Sis opinion, the House had passed the bill consti? tu? lonally.having passed it by a two-thirds vote of the members present, iustead of two-third.-, of ah the members, as he thought was required by the constitution. . -i The chair said that while lt wa* not competent for him to review the actlon.of the House in their vote upon this bill, he would give tbesenatnr and to the Senate the opinion asked for. He be? lieved that where the constitution requires a two thirds vote on any measure, the number neces- ' sary to c. nstituie that vote must be two thirds of the representation provided for In the constitu? tion-eighty-four In the House and twenty-two in, the Senate. He gave this opinion because it was asked for, and wished it understood that he was not sitting In judgment, on the action of the House, i here might be doubts as to the legality of bis opinion, but he would give the benefits of his doubts against the passage of the bill, which he regarded injurious to the creditor the Srate, an<L?elther sanctioned by public opinion nor called for by pnbllc or private necessity. Whittemore then moved that, inasmuch as sach a belier existed, the matter be referred to the at? torney-general for his opinion as to the constitu? tionality of the action of the House. Allen ob? jected. Leslie said lt was merely a strike to blacken the MIL [Why this sudden change? CORRESPONDENT.] Nash thought Chamberlain's opinion was of little valne, as the Senate would act Independent of lt anyhow. Leslie again rose, and severely' criticised Ransier's remarks, and declared it had been an arranged plan, between the latter and the Governor, to deliver t-uch au opinion. Whit? temore defended the president, who had been ab? sent from the chamber during Leslie's remarks, and said it was unkfhd of Leslie to dispose of him In the way he did during his absence. Leslie. Were you not aware when you asked the qnestion what answer he would give you 1 And let me teU you that you had no right to ask it. Whittemore. Me and you are not In the same Sabb?th-sciiool. and I have a right to ask any question 1 please. I, however, withdraw my mo? tion to refer to the attorney-general. Leslie. You have accomplished your object. While this colloquy was in progress, the specta? cled gaze of the benlgu and virtuous Klmpton rested on Leslie In a mo3t approving aud fatherly way. The bill was referred to the committee on rail? roads. THE BL?S RIDGE RAILROAD BONOS. The bill to repeal an act to authorize additional aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad came up for third reading to-day. On the question of the passage or the bill, "Hayne moved to lay the bill over till to-morrow, which was. on a call of the ayes and nays, lost. 'Sundry amendments were then otter? ed, and a lively discussion ensued between seve-. ral of the senators. While the debate w?s In pro-! gress Gaillard seut to the president's desk a pro- ; test from the Mayor and Aldermen, on behalf of the citizens of Charleston, against the passage of the bill, which was read. The amendments offer? ed were finally adopted, but when it came to the mainquestion.it rtqulrlng a two-thirds vote to pass the bill, there were only nineteen fer it and tenifitaiust it, hence the bili did not pass.

WHAT BECAME OF TOE BILL? The Senate per diem and mileage bili, probably of more Importance to the Cenera- Assembly just now than any other bi l on the calendar, seems to have enemies.

Don Platt hired for il" a wintlow and a platform on Pennsylvania avenue to see '.he car? nival. He says : I secured for myself a cheap sort of entertain? ment by undertaking to keep au innocent ano very pretty country girl advised or the grea- men taking part in the amusements. 1 pointed out Admiral Porter in a sulky, behind a bobtailed pacer, who yelled like au Indian as he darted by. A forlorn looking old shanghai, driving Burclieli's advertising wagon, I told ?er was old Strabismus, commonly called Butler. And I cou.inned in this way until fairly caught. I saw that my little friend was getting suspicious.'and that I might expect a storm, and so when old Tecumseh Sher? man actually passed, I humbly called her atten? tion to the fact, and she exclaimed iudignautly : "Now yon are imposing on rae. i hat queer, crazy-looking man General Shermau ? 1 don't believe lt.? She fairly passed Int,-a state or indignation, however, wnen 1 truthfully pointed out the Presi? dent. "That man-that insignificant looking creature General Grant?

J YESTERDAY IN PARIS. NO y EWS TET OF THE EX TRY OF TBE GERM AX TROOPS. Feverish Condition of the City-The Assembly at Bordeaux Discussing the Treaty-How the German Army will Return to Berlin, ?fcc. LONDON. MRrclf11'. President Thiers Las issued a proclamation to tbe people o.r Paris. Ee appeals to their patriotism and wisdom for trie preservationyof order. "Famine,"' said Theirs, "compelled the surrender of the forts, and obliged the govern? ment to open negotiations. They were only able tn obtain an extension or the armistice by con? senting to the partial occupation ?f Paris. The French army will occupy the lt. oank of the Seine to secure thc exemption of the convention,-" Thiers urges-the people not to break the conven? tion, and thus entail frightful misfortunes upon France. An order of the dey, by Vinoy, says the-gov ernment unhesitatingly confides to the National Guard the care of the city, and trusts to their de? votion and intelligence for the maintenance of order. The least agitation wiil furnish a pretext for irreparable misfortune, walch only calmness and dignity can avert. The proclamation of Thiers and the order of vinoy produced a good impression in Paris, but military precautions have been taken to prevent disorder. The Eleventh Prussian Corps and the Bavarians will enter Paris to-day. Belgium has recognized the French Republic. ' Special dispatches from Parl3 to London say the city 13 very disturbed. Serious occurrences are apprehended. Delegates from the National Guard held a meeting and resolved to resist the entrace or the Germans ? Voutrar.ce. A meeting of fifteen hundred National Guards determined to attack the Hotel de Ville on Tuesday morning. The attack failed from want of organization. The troops retreated to Place Bastlle. Sympathy with resistance is extending. Vinoy wiil not in? terfere, but will withdraw his army. The Journal des D?bats comments on the cruel terms of peace Imposed on France, and says: Thiers'and Favre were several times on the point or breaking off tho negotiation- at the risk or tire resumption of hostilities, and yielded only to dire necessity. Bismarck at first demanded ten milliards indemnity! and lt was redoced to the sum finally agreed upon only by the most strenuous eflorts. It has been stipulated that only thirty thousand Germans shall enter Paris, and they shall not march beyond the Place dc la Concorde. Several-journals announce that they will suspend publication during the occupa'lon of the etty, and all recommend thc inhabitants to re? main within doors, and close their shutters. Thc authorities are very uneasy in regard ta the ari tade of the population, when the Prussians march In. The National Guard have been under arms all night, and order has prevailed, but the guards and regular troops are greatly discontented, and lt ls doubtful ir they can be depended upon to re strain the people from violence at the appearance of the enemy. The occupation of the departments south of the Seine ceases after the ratification of the treaty, and that of the other departments arter payment of 50,000,000 of the Indemnity. The fortresses are to be occupied until the entire Indemniiy ls paid. Rothschild has been summoned to Paris, as also the railway presidents, who are to arrange to carry the German troops back to Germany. Their departure wiil be preceded by a review in the Champs de Mars. Mediation has been offered and accepted in the; Spaulsh-Ei:yp;ain trouble. A peaceful solution ls probable. BORDEAUX. February 25. President Thiers read to the Assembly to-day. the conditions of peace. France cedes one-fifth of Lorraine, including .Metz and Thlonville, and all or Alsace, except Belton abd pays an indem? nity of. five millards francs-one millard this year and the balance In three years. The Germas' troops will gradually withdraw from French ter? ritory as the payments are made.' The armLs'ice ls prolonged to thc 12th of March. BEiiLiN, Febraary 23. The triumphal entry of the Germans Into Ber? lin will be delayed two month?, as the whole of Germany will observe six weeks' mourning for fie victims of thc war. The Prussian Cross Ga? zette states that orders have been given .the municipal authorities of Berlin to prepare quarters for Saxon. Baden, Bavariiu and War temb.urg troops, who will pass through Berlin with other returning troops.' Orders say it ls tho wish bf the Emperor that all parts or uermany should be represented on the occasion of )iis; entry imo the capital. Thc Latest. PARIS, February 26-Evening. The city is tranquil. The districts whioh the Germans intend to occupy are deserted. Barri-, I cades are erected in M mt Martre, Belleville and La Chapelle, and there are disturbing symptoms generally. AB.needed precautions Lave been taken by the authorities. BORDEAUX, March l. The committee o' consultation, who accom? panied thiers to Versailles unanimously recom? mend to the Assembly the unification of the treaty. After reading Hie conditions of pjuce. Thiers said, for himself anil his colleagues, that they had gone to the limit of their resp jn*ibili ty. Thc Assembly would be accountable for the. rest. No member could abstain from voting In' tim present circumstances. The Assembly meets ia committee tills evening, aud holds a public session to morrow. The build - lng ls strongly guarded.

THE TRIEUSE O.V TRIO AMT. *-The Wrong Haven for Bowen," [Frcm the New York Tribune of Monday.] It appears that one of our Illustrions- legisla? tors, at Washington, ls persecuted on account of alleged bigamous practices. We say allezed, be? cause he appears to "be on trial, or giving ball to .appear, or walting a verdict most er the time, so that the little modicum of the work he can give to his seat In the House seems hardly worth while; but nothing definite ever comes of lt. Arter a protracted turn in bigamy proceedings, aud an eclipse liv reason or the shadow cast upon his brightness by the many women Interested In hts lovely career, Bowen, M. C., emerges, puts on a rresh shirt collar,- and takes his seat in the nouse or Representatives as serene as If he were net the prize of contending beauties, the male Helen ol a Homeric campaign. "Here I am." says Boweu to himself, when he is leftto himself, and sits in the hall or wisdom among his monogamous p:ers; "here I am. and I wonder who will come alter rne next." Bowen ls not to blame for being attractive; he was born so.' But we question ir he is not too attractive ror a member or Congress. The House ls a tolerably cousplcnous place. Boweu cannot sit lu his seat without being thc target ora hundroil rtmnle eyes, hair or which may bc eyes that have looked on him before and longed to have him for their own Bowen; nay. might not Bowen rise any day to a question of privil'-gc, and, laving his hand ou his waistcoat, look up io the gallery and say, "I have a reeling. Mr. Speaker, that I am married, more or less, to half thar gallery, and I should like to have it cleared." such a man as Bowen draws too mam* visitors to the gallery. There must bes?me other Hphereof life In which his attractions would In? terfere less with the public weirare. We are not seeking, by mentioning thia mitigat? ing circumstance of this fascination to deieud Mr. Bowen in bigamy, H he has committed lr, or even in polygamy, if he has attempted to prac? tice that without Its accompanying religion, Tor we have no opinion or an unrellglous bigamist or polygamist; but what we desire to inquire Is, if Mr. Bowen was a bigamist, why sh mid be desire to be a member of Congress also ? If he had led a lire that would render hie old age liable to suits by various women for the possession or his tem? poral rrame, what the world recognizes as the outward and viaiblc Bowen. tr\\y sJiould he get Into sucha conspicuous place tor tue exhioliiou or his penitence as the House of Representatives f Did he imagiue that lt is a kind of pillar of St. Simon ? We should,1 however, be disposed to leave Bowen, B. G., to the law and Bowen, M. C., to legislation ; but he appears now in a new character, >o which our at? tention ls called. The present Mrs. Bowen writes to the newspapers in deprecation or the persecu? tion or her husband, who ls described aa thor? oughly repentant or the past, and. let us hope, anxious about the rut ure. "He had been an or phad boy without relations or Mends, had drifted Into- Hie company of gamblers and prostitutes, and had lived their life until it pleased the good God to lift him from thc mire, aud stir wlthiu-hlm the spirtr or reformation and purification." it is no discredit to a person to beau orphan, unless it ls by his own fault, like the unfortunate French? man who murdered his father and mother, and , then pleaded orphanage in mitigation of his sen ! tence; but there ts nothing in the constitution of our country encouraging one to be on orphan, a bigamist; and a member of Congress at the same tim-. We aie Informed, also, that when he last married, lt was with a firm resolve to lead a tem? perate, studious and honorable life. For months he has adhered to this resoluUon, we also read, and yet he continues to be perse? cuted by prosecutions, just as ir he had not re? pented. We exceedingly regret that Mr. Bowen had a bad start in the world, and that he has nulli lately led a disgraceful life; and .we rejoice that he is resolved upon reformation-even If. we were abont to say, it costs him half his wives. But we remember i hat it ls the plurality of wives that ls the very thing lu question. We sincerely deprecate persecution of one repentant, lu ail kindness, we should say. Go, Bowen, and sin no more. Bat don't go to Congress. Sit down In some inconspicuous place for a while, and grow in grace and In the knowledge of monogamy, be? fore you appear upon a large stage of action and Haunt your penitence. It ls a credit to you that vou have left the "company o? gamblers and pros? titutes," but it is no recommendation to Congress that you were in that company so receutly. 'Realty, Congress ls not a house or refuge, nor a reform school, nor a Magdalen asylum for men however much lt may have tiat appearance at times. Let us not get confuse 1. It ls still, even In this world or complex relations and natural selections, better to have married one woman at a Hine, than to have married tour simultaneously, and to have repented or three of the marriages. Ari outraged law will exact Its penalty one woy or another, and no penitence can altogether stay lt. This ls an era of rattier soft 8,-rapithy for crimin?is, and we never feel like rebuking lt when the criminal ls modest and is anxious to make neither his sins nor his recantation too conspicuous. We must try, however, to preserve a place in the HouBe of Representatives Tor those or anassumlng virtues. All cannot have the advantages or Bowen ror making a record so bad that penitence over it will be a recommendation to Congress. Bowen may say, and he doubtless does, and has a right to console himself with lt, that there is more joy ta Heaven over one repentant sinner than over ninety and nine that never went astray. But Congress ls not Heaven. And we can say to Mr. Bowen, in the present complication or his affairs, as Sergeant Bnzfnz said to Mr. Pickwick, "it would have been more decent In him, more be? coming, in better Judgment, and in better taste, if he had stopped away." -Tiie Hon. William H. Seward held a public r?? ception at the American consulate, in Hong 'Kong, in January, during which he kept his seat on account- omis infirmity. Being introduced by Consul Balley he made quite a Tong speech, in which he prophesied the spread of civilization through the iuflueuce or itu commerce of Am- ri ca, "commerce across th; Pacific ocean, com? merce by steam across the American continent, and across the Atlantic ocean. Chinese emigra? tion to the American continent will tend to In? crease the wealth and strength of all Western nations; Wh'le at the same time, the removal of the surplus population of China will tend much to take away the obstructions which now Impede the Introduction Into China of art, science, mo l all ty and religion." How She wai Relieved hy the British Authorities at Nassau. From a late issue of the Nassau, N. P., Guar? dian we take the following: On Sunday morning last, the United States Consul received a letter from Cuptain Quacken bush, of the United States uaw, reporting that the Pawnee, a vessel under his command, was lying In a dangerous position to the south? ward of Stirrup's Cay Light. The letter was writ ten undfr the supposition that i here might be an American frlgate.tn Bahamian waters. The con? sul immediately waited upon his Excellency the Governor and represented the circumstances of thc case. The services of. tho Philomel were im? mediately placed at the disposal of the Americans, and Captain Douglas Walker, (a brother of H. B. M.'B Consul at Charleston.) at 2 o'clock leJt the harbor, having on board the the consul, F. C. Whitehouse,. Esq.. (the captain's guest,) and a pilot. At sunset they sighted Berry Islands, the object of their search, and anchored seven miles from them In eleven fathoms w.iter. The night ?was bright, but there wa9 scarcely light enough to show, lu ail her ugliness, this extraordi? nary vessel. Oa boarding her", however, her im? mense height, find low and strangely-placed spars, were at once explained. Having done itood duty la cutting out blockake-ruuners, and in rive. work, the United States naval authorities re? moved lier engines, and couverte! her Into a hospital ship. The huge deck which had been put over an, gave her a broadside of sixteen feet, while her draft was eight forward and nine aft. Three false keels had been added to give her some steadiness, with the valu expectation of reducing her lee-way. The oiric ra and crew of a hundred and twenty, made up In comfort what, they lacked In speed. Two ladles also enjoyed the hospitalities of the spacious ward? room, where the captain and officers messed; and If, after dinner, there was no dancing, it was not f>r want of a larger space than any roora In the Royal Victoria Hotel affords. Thc history of the Pawnee cruise waB briefly told. Starting from Portsmouth, (N. H.,) accompanied by the severn, she had drifted down to Norfolk. Emboldened by this success, the Navy Department ordered her to proceed alone to Key West; but having got unfortunately to the southward of Stirrup's Cay, and being In sound? ings, they anchored on Friday night, and were spokeB next morning by the Minx. ' The Philomel proceeded at once to seud on board a chain haw? ser, receiving from thc Pawnee a seven-inch cable, aud lu the shortest possible time started anead about four knots northwards. At 4 o'clock, being nine miles from Stirrup's Cay. the towline was cast off, and she immediately anchored to await h breeze. . Furnished with the pilot from the Philomel, and a course lani down for her by the captain and navigating officer, ' Lieutenant Hire, there- is fair reason to ex? pect that she may ride safely across the (.Teat Bahama Bauk; aud, taking a fresh de? parture from Salt (.'av Bunk, under the united action of the Gulf Stream and the customary >'. E. winds, be able to make Key West, it Is scarce] v fhepruvince of a British newspaper to comment upon the short-comings of a foreign admiralty; still there ls something' requiring explanation tn the sending of a ship, wltti valuable lives,.to sea under such circumstances without a steam tender. On her return to port, the Philomel received orders from the admiral to remain at Nassau nntll relieved. The officers of this vessel have made themselves so popular during the time they have been on this station, that we trust the relief may be long In comlug. -Washington specials say that Boutwell'a last card-the new loan-does not bid fair to prove a trump. No offers have yet been* made, and the foreign baukers of New York are generally of the opiuion that the loan will not ba taken In Eu? rope, because all Its money ls needed to repair war losses, and because no financial policy ls set down by Mr. Boutwell, who simply asks present holders of six per cents, to exctuuige them for five per cents., having no other guarantees than the six per cents., and subject always to the ca? price or any future Congress. -?????> . -The Department of Agriculture has received Irs "rat Instalment of thc vegetable products of St. Domingo, which will make interesting addi? tions to its already extensive herbarium and at? tractive museum. The adaptability of the climate to the growth of the cinchona, which furnishes thc quinine of commerce, ls refer.ed to with satisfaction by Dr. Parry, the botanist of the ex? pedition, In a letter to tbe department accom? panying the different vegetable specimens. These specimens Include dried plants, native fibre-, cordage, commercial woods, Ac. The fibre called kamote yields enormously. Dr. Parry says the woods of the country are numerous, and he ls satisfied they will constitute a great source of wealth. BUSINESS If OX I C ES.
