WASHINGTON, February 15. -The Senate,
ast night, passed the bill authorizing a
submarine bridge under the Mississippi at
St. Louis. The House struck out whiskey
license, leaving it as now. Bingham voted
for Stevens' bill, notwithstanding bis op?
position to it. Tho movement in favor of
Blaine's amendment in reference . ? the
constitut ional amendment, wit li universal
suffrage appended, is finally gaining
ground. Several Republican Senators will
help the Democrats to tight the bill to a

ner hoped the Louisiana bill would take
precedence. Wade favored both, and was
indifferent as to which came up first, ste?
vens' bill was read. Williams withdrew
his am -miment, fearing it would endanger
the bil!. He hoped to defer a vote until
to-morrow night. Sit wart regretted that
Williams changed his mind; he would not
vole for it unless amended. JU: did not
care if lie stood alone, ile would vole for
no bill leaving no escape for the people of
the South. Wilson favored the hill as it
came from thc House, lb- vegarded thc
battle for impartial suilrago as fought and
won. Howard object* d because the amend?
ment acknowledged the validity of State
Governments. Williams moved a recess
until 7 o'clock, when bc expected the Se?
nate to set until it passed the bill.

Doubtful Honors to Shrritlan.
It is really rather hard that a man,
simply because he proved himself a
bold rider and a dashiug soldier in
the country's service, should be forced
to submit to stich an ordeal as that to
which General Sheridan was put in
the House of Repr?sentatives on
Tuesday.
Can any thing more undignified and
ridiculous be imagined than the spee
? taele of a whole chamber of national
legislators deserting their seats and
crowding, open-mouthed, about an
eminent officer, as thc nurses and the
children in the Park might do about
a newly-arrived rhinoceros or gorilla?
Ovations of this sort certainly cannot
be physically agreeable to their ob?
ject. To be pressed upon and stared
at, te> have one's face breathed into,
and one's hand shaken till the arm
aches in its socket, by a mob of peo?
ple, all, or nearly all, of whom are
perfect strangers, is such a refined
kind of torture as even the genius of
the Inquisition had never hit noon.
But, if they do not please thc senses,
neither can these ovations Hatter the
spirit of any intelligent being. Gene?
ral Sheridan knows perfectly well that
the Ashleys and Binghams and Ste
venses and Grinuells, who made up
Tuesday's man-slide upon his own
devoted head, would rush in precisely
the same way to stare at and gape
upon and pump-handle a Daitnio from
Japan or an ex-President from Mexi?
co, or any other strange and curious
political or diplomatic monster whom
fate might throw in their way. Ho?
mage of this kind is really as insult?
ing to its object as it. is descreditable
to those who render it.
We are informed by the telegraph
that, after eating up and pawing over
General Sheridan to their full satis?
faction, these decorous and respecta?
ble legislators pi'oceeded to force him
down into" a scat by a desk, and to
compel him to dash od' scores ol' au?
tographs, as if he were another veri?
table "Yankee card-writer" or "Ja?
panese Tommy.'" It is to be hoped
that, when ho was writing these auto?
graphs, the gallant General may have
remembered the wise practice of Tal?
leyrand, who, whenever ho was re?
quested to furnish his autograph foi
a collector, always took the precau
tion to write it at the very top of i
sheet of paper. General Sheridai
may depend upon it, that, if he ha:
carelessly sigued his name at the bot
tom of a sheet of paper, he will, be
fore long, be edified by reading, ii
radical newspapers remarkable let
ters from himself, setting forth view:
and opinions such as it has never en
tered his head to conceive of.

A Horrible Tal?.
A newspaper, published at Colima,
Mexico, tells the following frightful
story, and calls upon the public to
punish the criminals:
"When General Pueblita entered
the town of Ayo, in September last,
he exacted a forced loan from the
people, and a portion of it fell upon
the curate of the place. The curate
acted as though he would pay, but
he did not make his appearance at
the point designated for payment,
and General Pueblita ordered him to
be arrest? d. A party 01 men went
to his dwelling and knocked at the
door; there was no answer, and they
broke in. They found no one in the
house, and were about to leave it,
when they heard a frightful voice,
proceeding from the ground, saying,
"I'm hungry."
Thc officer in command went back
to Gen. Pueblita, and told him about
the voice. The General appointed a
a commission to examine the house.
This commission went to the curate's
dwelling, and, after a careful exa?
mination, they found a movable stone
in the floor, and under this was a
stairway leading down to a vault,
which was entirely dark, and had no
connection with the air, save by the
staircase and a small hole that-served
?is a ventilator. In this vault, they
discovered a few articles of furniture
and :i woman who had been shut up
there for eighteen years. She was
taken to General Peublita's quarters.
When brought into the light, where
she saw a number of persons, she
fainted. Alter she returned to her
senses, a thousand questions were
asked her, to which she replied that
she had been buried in that vault foi
eighteen yeats, without going out foi
a moment ; that she. had been married
and had children by her husband, bul
she knew nothing of their fate; thal
whih imprisoned in the vault, sin
had had children by the curate, bul
she knew nothing of what had become
of these children; and after thal
much, became obstinate and silent.
While this was passing, a sergeant
of the Pueblita Brigade, then present
discovered that this woman was hit
mother, and she recognized him at
her son, and embraced him. Tin
sou then ran for the father, who cann
and recognized his wife. The hus
band, fifteen years ago, was impri
soned three years, under charge o
murdering his wife, this woman.
SURRATT AND TiiK IMPEACHMENT.
The New York World, says:
One ol' the chief topics of discus
sion in radical circles just now is tb
arrival of John H. Surratt, who lei
Alexandria more than a month since
on board the steamer Swatura. Th
vessel is now fully a week overdue
and some apprehension is expresse
for her safety, the more as she i
known to be able to carry but con
enough to last her thirty days. This
however, need cause no anxiety; foi
even should her supply of coal b
exhausted, she could easily sail nude
canvas, and, unless met off the coaf
by some severe storm, may be loot
ed for at any hour at Fortress Mor
roe. The secret of this appreher
sion, however, has yet to be told. J
is designed to have the trial of Sui
ratt play an important part in th
impeachment business, and in th
way: Some leading radical lawy(
(probably Mr. Bingham, of Obit
who figured in the prosecution of tl
other alleged conspirators,) is to I
retained to assist in the prosecutie
of Surratt, who will avail himself <
this opportunity to rehash all the ho
riblo circumstances connected wil
the deatli of the late lamented Lil
coln. This, it is believed, will revi'
the intense popular feeling whic
prevailed at the time, and by a seri
of well-turned inuendoes arouse
prejudice against his successor, an
on the strength of both the impeac
ment matter will be pushed throng
the House at once. Of course tl
radical press will do its part
this work, to say nothing of tl
radical orators, so that you need n
be surprised to hear of the forrr
impeachment of President Johns?
early in March. Tho radicals clai
that they have nearly enough vot
to pass the measure in tho prese
House, but they prefer to wait f
the meeting of the next Congress,
which they will be a larger popul
sentiment in favor of this high-han
ed procedure.

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE I?APTIST.
WE PRO LOSE to publish a WEEKLY
PAPER, devoted to the diffusion of
the principles of religion and thc interests
of the Baptist denomination. We have
been moved to this undertaking by the
solicitations of brethren in various por?
tions of this State, as well as of other
States, among the readers of thc late
Confederate Baptist, and by our own con?
viction that a paper of a high character
would contribute largely to the intellectual
improvement, tho religious progress and
the general welfare of thc churches. Tho
field is large, affording ample room for all
sincere and zealous laborers.
Tho Baptist will bo printed on a sheet
about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and
will contain* twenty-four broad columns,
mostly in Long Primer type, clear and
legible, so that it may be read with com?
fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha?
nical execution will he of the highest order.
Our columns will he enriched by corres?
pondence and contributions from the
other Southern States, and, occasionally,
from Europe and our missionary stations
abroad. The entertainment and instruc?
tion of the yoting especially the child?
ren-will not be forgotten; and our vone
hle friend, "Uncle Fabian," so well and
favorably known to the readers of the
Confederate Baptist, will resume his labors
in their behalf. Li short, wo possess all
the facilities requisite to produce a paper
of tho first rank. As such, we oller it to
our brethren, ami solicit their generous
co-operation.
Tlio Baptist w ii! bc issued as soon as a
sufficient number ol'.- ubscribers have bceu
secured.
TERMS-$3 ayer, payable on thc recep?
tion of the first noni!:, r.
All communications wiil be addressed to
"J !w Baptist, Columbia, s. c."
