Congressional Procc?d?Kgs.
WASHINGTON, December C.-In the
Senate, to-day, Mr. Dixon offered a series
of resolutions passed by thc Connecticut
Legislature in favor of negro equality
before the law.
The committees appointed vary but
little from those of last session.
Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, intro?
duced a bill regulating commerce between
thc States, and a resolution instructing
the Secretary of tho Treasury to inform
the Senate whether any persons employed
in the Treasury Department have not
taken thc requisite oath.
A committee of thirteen was appointed
to confer with tho committee of the House
relative to the death of President Lincoln.
Mr. Morgan introduced a hill to incor?
porate tho International Telegraph Linc
from New York to West Indies.
In thc House, a resolution for relief of
Mrs. Lincoln, by thc payment in full of her
husband's salary, was introduced hy Mr.
Wentworth and referred to the select com?
mittee to he appointed to take action con?
cerning President Lincoln's death.
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, introduced
a bill permitting wounded soldiers to ac?
cept employment under thc Government
and receive a pension.
At the same time a special committee
was appointed to consider that part of the
President's message and all papers and
accompanying tho documents relative to
freedmen's affaira.
Mr. Bingham proposed amending tho
Constitution, annulling the prohibition on
export duties, prohibiting the payment of
thc rebel war debt, and securing all per?
sons equality in the protection of lifo,
liberty, etc.
A resolution was adopted granting the
nse cf the House for a public meeting of
the Freedmen's Commission.
Mr. Farnsworth offered a resolution de?
claring the good faith of thc Government
and demanding that colored soldiers
should be entitled to all the rights and
privileges of citizens of the United States.
Both branches of Congress have ad?
journed over to Monday.
Interesting letters have been received
from Professor Agassiz, giving an account
of the astonishing scientific discoveries
he has made in the river Amazon. Under
date of September 8th, he writes that he
had then obtained more than three hun?
dred species of fish, although ho had, to
that time, only examined one-third of tho
Amazon without trenching on its affluence.
He had only counted on, at most, two
hundred and'fifty or three hundred species,
and he says that not a third of those ho
collected belong to known ones. The latest
report is that Agassiz was to leave Manaos,
in Amazonas, on the 10th of September for
Tabatinga, in Peru.
AFRAID TO LAUGH.-Ladies sometimes
repress their laughter to avoid revealing
thc discoloration and imperfection of their
teeth. Fair ones, we would advise you to
try the Fragrant Sozodont. It will remove
at once, all impurities, arrest tho progress
of decay, and whiten such parts as have
already become black by decay, and leave
thc breath as fragrant as a rose. t
