Tho Im? perial diplomacy with Borne hos be? come colder, while the friendly rela? tions horetofore existing with Victor Emanuel.nre to be renewed. Queen Isabella has been forced to dissolve tho papal legion which was being recruited under her warrants in Madrid, as Napoleon flatly objects to its ?ervioe in 'the cause of tho Holy Bee. Afc a meeting in Birmingham,,John Bright made a speech, in which he pleadod tho wrongs of Ireland in ext?nuation of the late Fenian out? rages, and begged for church and (iegislativo reform. Mr. Bright said there was nothing that the United States Government could do if Ire? land was part and parcel of tho United States, that England might not do also if she would. Plew?

A resolution to expel Aaron Alpeo Bradley, (negro,} was made I special order for Tuesday next. The second section of the cc mitten's report on fruuehise, asado od, recognizes no distinction tween races, aud provides that voters shall have paid their tax and if challenged they shall sk that their vote is not aileotcd any reward received or expect nor have tkey given or promised t reward, or made any threat to \. vont any person from voting. OnARTiWrrow, February 10.-In Convention, ?three . more sections. of the Constitution were adopted.

A long discussion on clause ensued, defining -what con? stitutes treason to the State. It is i probable that to-morrow, the clause, ! tho same as is in thc F?d?ral Consti? tution, will be stricken ont. Au article was also rend for tho first time, organizing tho militia. Tho Legis? lative part of the Constitution was read tho first time and several marked changes made. ' RAXJEIOH, N.

RICHMOND, February 10.-In the Convention, tho Judiciary Commit? tee reported adversely to two reso? lutions-one for sealing debts con? tracted prior to April, 1865, at 25 cents on the Si, and another declar? ing all debts prior to that date null and void. The Committee's report also takes tho ground, that debts con? tracted for the purchase *of slaves cannot be set aside; the report wan adopted. A section of the report giving the Legislature power to sell tho State's interest in intornal im ! proveniente and apply the proceeds to the liquidatiou of tho public debt, was adopted. -? + ? . Congrculonul. WASHINGTON, February 10.-lu the House, the following wero introduced : Instructing the Reconstruction Com? mittee to report what further legisla? tion is necessary to enable the late rebel States to resumo their places in tho Union; continuing tho Freed? men's Bureau in Tennessee; to allow respondents in United States courts to testify in their owu behalf in States where such testimony is per? mitted in local courts. The Judiciary Committee was directed to inquire as to the expediency of amending tho bankrupt lav, to require tho majority of creditors to compel involuntary bankruptcy. A resolution, that tho seat of Government should bo re? moved to tho Mississippi Valley, was disagreed to by a strictly sectional vote-77 to 97. Drawing for seats created some confusion nud much merriment. A bill authorizing the bridging the Mississippi River, at the joint expense of the Government and tho railroad company, passed. A re? solution calling on Grant for a copy of the President's last letter, and referring tho Judiciary Committee's impeachment evidence to the llecou ? 8tructiou Committee, with tho privi? lege to report at any time, passed. The House then went into Commit? tee of the Whole; and a geueral dis? cussion showed increasing pnrtizau ? bitterness. i lu tho Senate, after u number of private resolutions, bills aud me? morials, reconstruction was resumed. The Supreme Court, in old Geor? gia case, petitioning to restrain Stanton, Grant and Pope from pro? ceeding under tho reconstruction acts, decided adversely. The reasons for that opinion, in effect, as follows were given : The question involved, and tho right sought to be protected, were exclusively political in their character, relating to the sovereignty and government, and not lo rights of person or property, and that the Court had no jurisdiction, therefore, of the subject matter of tho bill. They cite tho eases of the Stato of Rhode Island versus the State of Massachusetts, of tho Cherokee na? tion versus tho State of Georgia, and other cases, to show that tho Court has no jurisdiction to decide a politi? cal question. The Chief Justice con? curred in tho result, but not in the reasons assigned. It is stated that tho Cabinet is strongly adverse to Grant's version of events. Edward Maynard, United States Consul at Turk's Island, is dead. Internal revenue recoipts to-day, $1,000,000. "HARP TIMES."-Those who aro under tho impression that the times are particularly hard just where they live, aro reminded of the fact that in all of tho leading Northern cities mechanics, clerks, laborers and work? ingmen generally have been thrown out of employment by tho thousands. lu Brooklyn and New York alone, the number reaches 100,000.

It is like re? fusing to quench your present thirst by feuriug yon will wnnt drink tho next day. If it bo well to-day, it is madness to make the present mis-, eruble by fearing that it may be ill to-morrow-when you aro full of to? day's dinner, to fear that you shall wuut tho next day's supper, for it muy bo you shnll not, und then to what purpose was this day's aillictions ? But if to-morrow you shall want, your sorrow will como time enough, though you do not hasten it ; let trouble tarry till its day comes. But if it chance to bo ill to day, do not increase it by the cures of to-morrow. Enjoy tho blessings of this day, if God sends them, and tho evils hear patiently aud sweetly ; for this day is only ours-we aro dead to the morrow. Ho, therefore, is wiso who enjoys as much as possible ; and if only that day's trouble loans upon him, it is singular and finite. " Suffi? cient to the day, (suid Christ,) is the evil thereof ;" sufficient but not in tolernble. But if we look abroad, and bring into ono day's thoughts tho evils of many, certain and un? certain, what will be and will never be, our load will be us intolerable as it is unreasonable. It is related by an English paper tlint the servants, thirty in number, recently waited on their employer, a member of Parliament from Dorset? shire, just as the latter was about to receive his Beyal Highness the Duke of Cambridgo ns a visitor, and de? clared that unless their request was granted, they would leave his service. They wished a change in tho bill of fare. Inquiry brought out the fact that they hud for breakfast, tea and coffee, eggs, bacon, toast, bread and butter; for lunch, brcud, cheese and ale ; for dinner, hot joints und pastry; for tea, toast, bread and butter ; for supper, meat, bread, cheese and ale. They wanted mutton chops and beef steak for breakfast. Tho request of tho poor starving creatures was granted. A THRIFTY YOUNG MAN.-Some? times people have entertained angels unawares, but n Green Mountain boy, who has been peddling maps lately in Wostfield and neighboring towns in Vermont, does not answer to that description, His plan is to go to a farm house and ask for u night's lodging and food for himself and horse. When his bill is present? ed in tho morning, ho astonishes the farmer by asking to "seo his license to keep a tavern!" Of course tho license is not produced, and the bill is not paid.

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.--Among th? interesting announcements for the present mooth is one to the effect that there will bo a> total eclipse of the sun nt 9 o'clock, on thu' morning of tho 22d. It will only, be visible, however, iii Africa, ami in the mid uio vi ino South Atlantic Ocean. A correspondent of tho New York Tribune, shocked at tho terrible, and, as he says, needless torture of crimi? nals by hanging, suggests that here? after they may tie made to touch a wire communicating with twelve Ley? den jars, when death by electricity would bo instantaneous and painless. It appears from statistics kept in France, that, during the lust thirty years, moro than 10,000 people were struck by lightning, of whom 2,232 were killed outright 880 were killed during the last teu yeurs, and of theso only 243 were females. Who wouldn't be a female? Two, sailors were sitting in the gnnwalc of their ship drinking grog. "This is meat and drink," said Jack, and he fell overboard as he was drinking. "Now you've got washing and lodging," coolly remarked Tom. A gentleman in Hartford lately in? vited sonio friends to dine ou crows, which they took to bo partridges, and praised highly. He is now iu great glee, and offers fifty cents a piece for crows. Juries in England have some pri? vileges not accorded to those in this country. In a recent case at Chester, a bill of five pounds for liquor nud cigars, consumed by tho jurors, was allowed by tho court A "reformed drunkard" who had relapsed, rather surprised the peo? ple nt Willard's, in Washington, by walking iuto the breakfast-room in his night shirt.
