' WASHINGTON, December lt).-In thu Se? nate, a resolution to print the report of the Commissioner of Public Lands in foreign languages, for distribution at tho Parid exhibition, was introduced. Mr. Harris, from the Judiciary.Commit? tee, reported upon thc House bill provid? ing for an additional session of the fortieth .iud succeeding Congresses on the ?th of Starch, with an amendment striking out the second section and inserting, ''That no person who was a member of the previous Congress shall receive any compensation as mileage for going to or returning from thc additional session provided for in tho bill." A resolution was adopted, calling upon tho Secretary of the Interior for informa? tion as to supplies purchased for Indians during the past year-whether they were purchased in open market, Ac. In the House, Upton introduced a bill, supplementary to the Act of April, 1864, to increase the pensions of Revolutionary pensioners; referred to Commit tee on Revo? lutionary Pensions. The bill makes the Act apply to all the surviving widows of soldiers ot' tho Revolution, at$100 per head. Maynard corrected a statement made by him on Monday, relative to a demand made by tho Governor of North Carolina on tho Governor of Tennessee, for thc person of Capt. Nelson, indicted, in the former State for murder, arising out of tho performance of military duties under Gen. Sto?eman. The present acting (?overuor of North Ca? rolina [Worth] has ainco assured him that he has made no such demand on tho Go? vernor of Tennessee. It was postible that he [Maynard] might have been mistaken, but ho had certainly understood the facts to be as he originally stated them. Ou motion of Phelps, the Committeo on Ways and Means was instructed to in? quire into tho expediency of modifying tho Internal Revenue law. so as to dispense with the tax on gross receipts. On motion of Wentworth, the President waa requested to furnish copies of all papers m his possession touching the case of Col. George St. Leger Grenfel, convict? ed by a military commission as ono of tho leaders in tho conspiracy to release the rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas, Chicago, aud burn the city, and who was sentenced to death therefor; which sentence was commuted into imprisonment for life, and whose full pardon was now recommended by the Florida Legislature. The House Committee on Territories, after tho holidays, will report a bill for the re-organization of the Southern States. Mr. Stevens called up to-day tho bill re? ported from the Committee on Reconstruc? tion last session, providing tho conditions on which Southern States may be re? admitted, to which ho offered some amend? ments. DEATH OF AN EDITOR.-Nathaniel Paschall, senior editor of the Missouri Republican, died on the 12th instant, 'ged sixty-four years. He com? menced the printing business as an apprentice in tho Republican fifty-two years ago, and was the oldest editor . West of tho Missisippi River, if not West of tho Alleghany Mountains. On Monday last there was a sale of pew? in Dr. Chapin's Church, New York. About one-half the number of slips were disposed of by auction to the highest bidder. The largest promium paid was $2,200, and the next largest $1,000. These were doubtless the "upper places in the Synagogue." Dean Alvord has been lecturing the Londoners on ; 'True and False guides." The Dean thinks Ritualists and newspaper men are among the latter. COMMERCIAL ANO FINANCIAL.

Senatov Doolittle, of Wisconsin, was at New Orleans recently, on a profes? sional engagement, and wac invited to speak. In a note declining, on account of the brevity of his visit, he says: I have seen nothing to change, but mitch to confirm, thc views expressed by me in thc Senate last winter, in tho National Union Convention at Philadelphia, and at other places during the late canvass in the North? ern States. "While tiie time of their full recog? nition may be postponed by the result of the recent elections longer than I could have wished, my faith'is still unshaken that, at no distant day, the people of the Northern States will recognize, a's the President and the Supreme Court have already re? cognized, these States of the South as States in the Union, under the Constitution, with "all their rights, dignity and equality unimpaired." It is just as certain, in my judg? ment, as that the people ol" tho North? ern States ?ire capable of maintaining Republican Government for them? selves. ARTEMUS WARD'S LAST AND BEST. Artumus Ward is coining money in London, and no one can wonder at it. after reading the following pull' of himself:' TOTNES, October 20, 1S66. To Mr. Arlcmtis Ward. DEAR SIR: My wife wa? danger? ously unwell for over sixteen years. She was so weak that she could not lift a tea-spoon to lier mouth. But, in a fortunate moment, she com? menced reading ont; of your lectures She got better at once. She gained strength so rapidly that she lifted thc cottage piano quite a distance from tlie floor, and thou tipped it. over on to her mother-in-law, with whom she had some little trouble. We like your lectures very much. Please send me a barrel of them. If you should require any more recom? mendation, you can get any number of them in this place at two shillings each, the price ? charge for this one, and I trust you may be ever happy. I am, sir, Tours truly, and is my wife. R". SPRINGER. AN ENGLISH OPINION OF orr. MEX? ICAN RELATIONS.-The London Times, by last advices, had no doubt that Maximilian had abdicated, and looked forward to the intervention of the Washington Government as the next ste p. "That inters jtiou will bc popular instead of unpopular, and Cheap instead of costly. The Ameri? cans, will enter the country as friends, they will hunt its enemies down, and thus render civilization possible, and transform that community into a civilized state. They will have the advantage, too. They will seem less liko invaders .than their ]Aredecessors. This will preserve the name and form of the Mexican Republic, and will probably leave the native Mexi? cans as its ostensible rulers." TROUBLE ABOUT CONFISCATED PRO? PERTY IN FLORIDA.-A despatch from New Orleans states that official reports from Florida indicate considerable ill feeling between the citizens there, arising from the possession of confis? cated property, by parties who pur? chased real estate at Confederate con - fiscatiou sales refusing to relinquish their claims to their refugee ?tyners. Tho courts in some Counties sustained the holders of such property, but issued writs of ejectment against per? sons holding property confiscated and sold by the United States Govern? ment. General Foster, commanding the State, thinks that the troops can not?be safely removed. " Wno WILL PAY THEIR DEBTS,? If the State Governments at the South are abrogated; and the States are converted into Territories, governed by Congress, who will pay their pre? sent State debts ? Some of them owe, as States, from forty to fifty millions; their obligations aro held in Europe, and throughout the North and East in this country. If the States arc abolished by Congress, thc debtor disappears by the act of Con? gress, and the creditor is left minus State bonds. This is Sumner's wis? dom; Stevens' statesmanship; Bout well's equity and Butler's sharpness. [Philadelphia Jlerald. ANOTHER SIGN.-The New York World snys: "The French Government has recently bought 10,000 barrels of flour, and 1.500 barrels of beef and pork in this market for its troops in Mexico, with considerable grain to feed the horses in use by them, and in such need are these supplies that steamers have been chartered to take them to Vera Cruz." Several buildings, including whole? sale and retail business stores, in Columbia, Tennessee, were burned on Sunday night. The loss is esti? mated at "over $100,000. In Nash? ville, on the same night, property to the amount of 830,000 was destroyed by fire. A man, a short distance from the city, says no one need tell him that advertising won't cause a big rush, for he advertised ten bushels ol* grapes for sale, and thc next morning there wasn't one left-the boys had stole them all. The man who followed his own coffin to thc grave and then sued for his life insurance, has been tried at Antwerp for forgery, and condemned to be put into a coffin with his head off. Legislature of South Carolina. ? Tuesday, December 13, 1S06. SENATE. The Senate met at 10 a. m. The following hills were read the third time, and their titles changed to Acts: To regulate the sittings of the Court of Ap? peals; to provide for the registration of trust deeds of personal property; to amend tho law in relation to tenancies. Tho hill in relation to bastardy was inde? finitely postponed, and the bill to incorpo? rate tue Sea Island Cotton Loan Associa? tion was laid on the table. lion. James B. Campbell was elected to lill the unexpired terni of the lion. J_ E. SI anning. HOUSE Ol' REPRESENTATIVES. Tho House met at lo a. m., and tie- pro? ceedings were opened with pia ver hv Kev. Dr. Howe. A bill to renew and extend the charter of the Methodist Benevolent Society of! Charleston, was read thc third time, and he title changed to an Act. Mr. Talbert introduced a resolution which was agreed to-that during tho re-j maiuder of this session, no member shall speak more than live minutes at one time, ! without special leave of the House. A bill to provide for docketing constitu? tional casis in tim Court of Errors; also, a bill to incorporate the Charleston and Flo? rida Steam Packet Company, were read the third tune, and their title's changed to Acts. POLITIC .vt, PRATING.-Thc purtizan ship that must offensively obtrude itself in the supplication made at the Throne of Grace is so offensive and ..o desecrating, that it is. difficult to characterize it as it deserves". We omitted from the Rouse proceedings, the first day. the prayer of the chap? lain, the Rev. Dr. Boynton, because we could not publish it without pro? test, and we, therefore, preferrednot publishing it at all. But hereis what a radical correspondent of a radical newspaper'says. We quote from the Washington correspondence of the brooklyn Union, of the 5th instant, italics und all: .'An unusually largo attendance ol' the members were present, and when, at the hour of noon, the shari) rap of the Speaker's gavel arrested the at? tention of the whole assemblage, and prayer was announced, all the mem? bers engaged, with unusual devotion, in the exercise. The Chaplain of the House, the Rev. Dr. Boynton, then made a radical stump speech, with his eyes shut. This must have been dis? tasteful to the piety of the Democratic members." This is not the questionable cen? sure of a partizan foe, but the salient criticism of a political friend. [^National Intelligencer. Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, has issued a proclamation to the citi? zens of Lafayette and Jackson Coun? ties that, in consequence of his ina? bility to execute legal process in those Counties, he has ordered a militia force in their midst, to compel obe? dience to the laws; that said Counties be required to defray the entire ex? pense of the military organization; but when the xjeople conclude to en? force the laws against all violators thereof, ?iud give usual protection to the law-abiding citizens, the troops will be withdrawn. THE HUB ox THE MOVE AGAIN'.-A petition is in circulation in Boston and vicinity, and is being nume? rously signed, praying Congress to so amend the Constitution that each and every State of this Union shall determine for itself the status of citi? zenship and the qualification for suf? frage, but in all elections for Federal officers proscription on account of raco or color shall make void and ille? gal such elections. The New York Herald, of the 15th, contains a long and very interesting account of the work connected with the laying of the Russian-American telegraph line, which, at last, is to give us that "girdlo round the earth in forty seconds." The entire route has been surveyed, and no serious obstacle is anticipated to prevent its early completion. This will give us an overland line from Europe, with small submarine limbs in the great telegraphic chah'. A young mai belonging in St. Louis recently wroto to Mr. Greeley, of the New York Tribune, to use his influence in obtaining a situation for him. In reply thereto, Horace wrote: "New York is just entering upon the interesting process of starving out 200,000 people, whom war and irre? deemable paper have driven thither. It is impossible to receive and employ more tili these are gone." Some New York gypsies are accused of killing and eating a baby. SHIP SEWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON. DEC. 19. ARRIVED YESTERDAY.
