After considerable wrangling over tho second rending of sovoral bills, tho HOUPO adjourned at ?. 15 P. M. But 49 members being present at the time. -o Congrciiman Beck. Mr. Bock, of Kentucky, seems to be giv? ing a great deal of trouble to some of thoso loyal worthies now swarming about the Capitol in quest of office, or fees, or subsi? dies, or revenge, or any one of un infinite num'ier of other things. Heretofore we havo Adverted to tho keen query by which ho brought it to light that a certniu ecclesi O&rtcnl interest seeks possession of all the churches of another eclesiastical interest in Virginia, when it has no congregations to put in such edifices, and would thereby play dog in tho manger by ousting ono commu? nion of worshipers, without being ablo to enter another, and wo have now a second matter of interest brought to light through his questioning. Tho vagrant laws of tho South, as passed in 1865-6, havo been made a powerful agent in stirring up pr?judice against tho peoplo of that section, the statement being that they remanded the freedmen into virtual slavery; but in the case of Virginia, at least, Mr. Beck has forced tho admission, in a ses? sion of the Reconstruction Committee, that her vagrant law was applicable to whites and negroes alike in its scope, and in its wording a literal transcript of the Pennsylvania Act on the subject. The point is of importance ns showing that what on one sido of thc border lino was entirely proper, was on the other made one pretext for reconstruction. Tho truth is, that this vagrancy dodge has never been properly understood North. Enforced continuance in one place being of the essence of slavery, and, perhaps, the severest, concomitant of the system to the negro, the first idea of the blacks, in eman? cipation, was to go off somewhere. Thu naturallj' led to an immense amount of vaga bondizing, and the vagabondizing, as beinj. incompatible with wages, to wholesale thiev iug. Cities were overrun with helplest multitudes just when, at tho close of a har masing war, tho corporate authorities wen least of all ablo to afford relief, and, relie: being sparse, thc negroos very naturally, i being steal or starve, pilfered outrageously. In the country districts, it was even worse for there, beyond the gutting of corn-crib and smoke-houses, stock animals were killel on all sides, and the mules and horses-ant at this time there were but few compara tivcly-Btolen and ridden off". Such a *tut of affairs called for prompt action, and th vagrant laws were passed, being thus forcoi on the South literally to save their bacon and not proceeding from that deep-seate hate to which it was the ene of the littl game to describe them. And yet, in defau' of this comprehension, how much indi? nant eloquence has passed current, and ho many well-meaning men been betrayed int the support of wrong! [New Fork World, 2d. -o A New York lotter, of Wednesday, say: '.Our business men, generally, take a hopi ful view of the trade prospect, and expect much better season when the spring opei than the last one. They look for a grei increase in the trade of the South, whei the people aro much better off pecuniar! than they were a jTcar ago, and they al; expect a better and healthier trado with tl Wost than they havo had for somo year In anticipation of an active season, the ir porters have sent much larger orders abror than they did last year or tho year befor And tho import entries this year, thus fa show a great increaso over those of the sau period in 18G8. Last week, for inslanc they wero moro than double those of tl same week in 18G8. It is possiblo that o merchants aro too sanguine, but certain they aro a great deal more hopeful than tin were a year ago, and they say their advic from tho South and West are encouragiu The Now York city trade has been so mm overdone during the past few years, that is not likely to bo particularly pro ti tab! either to retail or wholesale dealers, for SOI time, but the out of town trade, and esr cially that of the distant sections named, expected to make up for deficiencies homo. A few weeks will probably sin whether thc expectations of importers a jobber?, in regard to netivity in the spril aro well founded or not." -a The Puris Citizen says "tho mule marl continues unusually active and booyal During tho past week, our streets lui been daily alive with droves after droves mules going Southward. Prices aro w maintained, and our stock mon have airca more than made up their losses of last s son. Wo should jndgo from tho extent the shipments from this point that tho m kct hero is almost depleted." A fearful picture was drawn yesterday Davis and Breckinridgo back in the Sonn Such mon cannot return to tho Sonate wi out accepting tho situntion and becomi co-workers in tho causo of roconstrnctii I do not know any more offioient way to r reconstruction than a return of the lendi Confederates to office. I would be glad seo Davis and Breckinridgo back in the nate, and Lee, Longstreet, and tho rest tho army, once more in tho House. [DonPiaU'? Washington Letter in Gin. Cot Special .Notices.

Feb 3_ 3mo PRESCKIBina FOR THU PEOPLE.-We have dispensaries, hospitals, noblo institutions ol all kinds, for the rolief of human iUs. Every thoughtful citizen appreciates the value of thoso establishments for the amelioration of suffering Put they do not cover the whole ground; indcod it is impossible, in the nature of things, that the amount of good they do should be at all in pro portion to thc popular need. They arc confined principally, to laige cities. To thc sick man in thc remote Wist, for example, of what uso is tho New York City Hospital, or tho New York Dispen saryV But, although asylums for invalids aro not to be found everywhere, an unequalled tonic and alterativo is within the reach ot all. There is no settlement that bears a name, within thc limits of the United states, where HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is not procurable. It is medicine for the whole community, easily obtain able by all its membors. At this period of the year, win n thc "slant sun of February" is beginning tu evoke unwholesome vapors from tho earth, and thc "fever and apue season" is close at hand, this excellent vegetable preparation should be taken as a fortifier of tho system. All complaints proc< eding from indigos tion arc rampant when the winter breaks up in i "ground thaw;" simply because no sensible pro cautions arc, as a rule, taken to prevent them Forestall the evils that lie perdu in many marsh, and swamp, and pool, ready to pounce upon thc neglectful as soon as tho sun shall have liberated the spring miasma from tho reeking soil.
