Washington, February 17.?In the Senate, Mr. Anthony, from Committee on Printing, reported a resolution to print 1,000 extra copies of the Presi? dent's Louisiana message; passed.

Mr. Ferry, of Connecti? cut, hoped the request of Mr. Morton jfloald not be regarded by the Senate, ferrhe Senator from California, Mr. 'Bar m gent, had occupied the floor on Mob r day and Tnesday, whan this question was up, and now to insist, when there has so far been no discussion on a question graver than almost any other that has arisen in this body in his (Mr. F.'s) recollection, that we shall stay here all night and talk to empty seats, is monstrous: He (Mr. F.) desired to Bubmit some remarks opon this ques? tion, whioh would bo brief, .but in his foeble condition he could not do it in the small hours of the night. To in? sist on depriving him and others of a fair hearing, to which they were enti? tled, on one of the gravest questions ever brought here, is not just. Mr. Ferry then said he felt that it was due to himself and to the country that he should give briefly, as he would be compelled to, on account of his health, the reasons why he could not vote for the resolutiou for the ndtnis'don of Mr. Pincbback. Ho had listened with painful anxiety to the words ol the Sonator from Indiana, (Morton,) to 6ee if there was one single reason why he should vote for Mr. Pinohbuck, but the Senator had not, in faot, touched npon the real question at issue.

Mrs. Tilton Pottino Evarts up to Things.?Yet Mrs. Tilton is by no means so indifferent to tbe proceed? ings as sbe was at tirst. For tbs lust three or four days Beeobor bus tukon no notice of ber, aud sbe sits all day with ber head bent, staring vaguely at tbe carpet. To be sure, sbe ban dis? gusted all neutral observers by the freqenoy with which she writes little j notes, each suggesting a point where? with her husband shall be plagued by bis cross examiner. Nor, I am aorry to notice, does Evarts disregard these petty conjugal treasons, but, over and over again, depends upou her prompt? ing for the oonfoouding and bewilder? ment of the witness. It is muoh more, and a great deal more, detestable?so several of us feel?that she thus array? confidence, even a blighted wedlack, agaiost tbe one of .those two whom its violation has the most utterly and most indisputably rained, than if she were to boldly mount the witoesB stand and commit black perjury against the man who has made ship wreck of this lifo for the sake of retaining her. I mast confess that aannot compote, by any standard to which I may refer, the depth and breadth of tbe infatuation which drives that shrinking little woman to the murder of her husband. 500 years ago, under tbe same physical influence, she would have poisoned the one with laurel wator and fled with the other it the velvets of a page. In 1875 sho it a dowdy little creature, stared at court and snubbed by hor gallant, wbc merely kills her husband's fair fame by scribbling notes to his dry am raspi/g cross-examiner. There was mor/ poetry in the lunrel water aud vel/ets, but what would lawyers and pikers have done? I Brooklyn Cor. Chicago Tribune. Sending a Baht to Heaven dy a Balloon.?One of tbe struugest aud most horrible of sensational incidents took place the other day at Fateaux. A party of children who were playing in tbe environs, discovered floating in tbe uir, and partly entangled amid tbe branches of a tree, a white parcel, up? borne by meuns of some twenty or thirty little red toy balloons, which were attaohod to it. The attention of tbe polioe being called to this singular object, it was brought down and tbe package opened, which proved to con tain the oorpse of a new-born infant Investigations into the matter brought to light the following facts: The child was that of a poor toy-maker and hie wife; just after the confinement of the latter, the husband had died suddenly, and all tbe household goods and chat? tels had been seized for rent. The un happy woman was driven mad by this accumulation of misfortunes; she killed her infant, and then went oat and threw herself into the river, leav ing behind her a written paper, in which she declared her intention of committing suioide, and said that sbe "bad gotten her baby all ready to go up to heaven." A sadder tale, with a Btranger termination, it would be hard to find. The toy balloons evidently bad formed part of the dead hoBband's slock in trade.

Connecticut Demookatio Conven? tion.?Tbo convention elected Davic? A. Walla Piefideat. Ie bis address be stated that the Republican party bad | fuiled to properly administer tbe Go* vernmeot aad restore peaoe and har? mony since tbe war. He, therefore, urged a return to Democratic princi? ples, which he stated was opposition to Federal interference in the affaire of States?that Government being the best which governs the least; equality of all men before tbe law; a better cur? rency, based on hard money, and taxa? tion for rovenue only. He thought it important that these principles should In carried out farther thau in expres? sions and platformH. He denounced Federal iaterference ia Louisiana us dictated by a vagabond political ad? venturer. The convention unani? mously nominated the old ticket. The following are tbe resolutions adopted: 1. That free government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. That the Federal Govern? ment is vested with those powers ouly which ure grunted to it by tbe people, and enumerated in tbe Constitution of tbe United States. 2. That the publiu welfare requires i the supremacy of the oivil over the military authority, and the freedom of persons under tbe protection of habeas corpus, and consistent with the public order for the State self-government and for tbe nation, a return to methods of peace and to coustitutiouul limita? tions of power. 3. That wo view with apprehension and alarm, and solemnly condemn us subversive of free government, the re? cent action of the Federal Executive iuterforeaoo in tbe States of Loaisiana and Arkansas, und the avowed deter initiation of tbe Administration to dis? regard the will of the people of those States in reference to the organization of their governments, and the manage? ment of their local affairs. ?1. That the use of bad money im? poses an unequal and dishonest tnx, which be-irs most heavily ou those who work for wages; that unredeemable paper currency, by whatever name known, is bad money; und that it is a fraud in time of peaoe for the Govern? ment to muke auythiug a legal tender except K<dd and silver coin of a tixed standard. 5. That the Republican party bos proved itself unfit to rule, because, with unlimited opportunity, it hurt fuiled to make the bad money which i; has foroed upon tho people equal to good money with which to pay its bondholders. 6. That it is no time, when industry is depressed and honest labor every? where deprived of opportunity fur regular and remunerative employment, to increase the burdens of Federal taxation, and that the present acknow? ledged bankruptcy of the national treasury is conclusive proof of the in oom potency of the .Republican party to properly administer tbe fiscal affairs of the country. The remainder of the reeolations point to the eoonomio administration of tho State Government during the past two years by Democrats; point with pride to the tioket presented for re-election, aud approve of certain ac? tions of the last Legislature. He Reposed to Mabby Them.?On Thursday afternoon a well-dressed co? lored man and a yoang white woman visited the city hall, in New York, uud mado known their desire to ho married by Mayor Wiokbam, but tho latter re? plied firmly, "No, sir; it can't bodoue. While I am Mayor of this city I shall never marry u black man to a white woman, nor a black woman to a white man." To a by-stander who suggested that perhaps he had not read the fifteenth amendment and the Civil Rights Bill, the Mayor replied, "I kuow all about those laws, but you can roHt assured that notwithstanding theui, no murriages.hetween whites aud blocks can take place in this hall while I am the Mayor of the city." Tbe co? lored man looked surprised, aud tbe girl's eyes tilled with tears. They afterwards made application to Justice Kilbretb to perform the ceremony, but the Justice said bo was "too busy." A Railboad Wab ?A correspond? ence between President Garret and Col. Scott has resulted in renewed hos? tilities.

Hi*' FirrouE Famb.*?Johu Young Brown o?aie tu Congress tbi.t session with tbe deliberate intention o! in suiting Bon j tin in Butler. Wben a sense of duiy itnptU a man to pat an affront upon another, tbo ^ot is Btrip I ped of ruffianism. Brown was vitupe? rative because bis traioiug and oou s deuce t?ld bim Butler was made to be ! insulted by honest men . In this view it was' juit as heroic to pnsb back geu I tlecuauly iustiucts, afcsamo the ioevlta ble eeusure und possible expulsion, and deliberately blackguard the object of bis nutil'o detestation, a* it would have been to charge a roaring battery, or be burnt at tbe stuliu for religion's sake. Tbe fact that the young Hot spur bad caiefully prepared hm worda, aud reduced hit. iuvectivo to a ,-duglo well matured oeuteuce, proves hia ssu cerity. There could be no excuse for a member of Congreua gottiug angry enough ill the caloric of debatu to suddenly tpurt out such u seutenoe, Uut to prepare it coolly iu advance, aud then try for several days for an opportunity to hurl ic at the victim's head, evinces the seuse of moral obli? gation which impelled it Johu Young Brown was just as creditable in sacri? ficing his breeding in order to de? liberately iuaulta fellow-member whom he believed ought to be insulted, an John Brown of Harper's Ferry was in laying ?iege to the whole State of Virginia. What a man does for that which be believes to be his duty is something fur which be should be pu? nished if it immolates law or deoeuoy; but the man's a man for a' that, aud in entitled to the praise sure to be tie stowed on him whose acts tally with his ideas. Brown came from a State where courage, whether of voice or body, is a passport to position. Kentucky can stand a brave idiot, but bus no com? fort for an intellectual coward. Marry spunk to ability, and Kentucky cannot tind enough to give joiuud traits. Brown has notified bis Blue-grass con? stituency many times iu the past, that be comes up to the measurement they demand, both iu intellect aud pluck. His crowning act, affronting with due premeditation aud elegant billingsgate ?it' person whom tbe South regards as twin-brother to the devil, setb him u permanent idol in their shriuo. He must be cleared from fishing for this exaltation. He banged Butler because he fancied it his duty to do so; not from au iusane yearning for notoriety. But bis fame is henceforth eternal iu Kentucky. He "will, on his return home, be giTen a distillery und a stud horse?Kentucky cau do no less for him. If hia conscience ii now satis? fied, und forbears making him au ever? lasting Sinthern Q lixotte, to tilt for? ever at unworthy wind mills, there is little of eminence tor which John Young Brown may not hope. He is, still on the sunny side of forty, yet has been held remarkable iu a State which grows remarkable men as regularly as it does glorious women, for nearly twenty years. Heran for Congress before he remembered that he was not old enough to take his seat if elected. He distanced bis competitor, and was then obliged to wait until the second session of the term gave bim tbe requi? site ripeness of years. Since then be ban squandered precious time by fervid adhesion to a doomed, and sulkily re? pining at a lost, cause. His abomina? tion of Butlerism was 10 cone_'..ited and engrossing that he would not come again to Congress in 18G8, though elected ko to do by persistent admirers. At last he compromised witb hie conscience and took a re-elec? tion to the present body, stipulating to his soul that he would repay the indiguity of sitting with Butler by iu sulting bim. This offence against re? spectability was not so gross after nil. Brown came to Congress to insult Butler. A majority of Congressmen appear to come hero as un insult to the entire common intelligence of the country. Brown has youth, superior intelli? gence, a forked tongue, und a pre-emi? nent sense of honor in bis favor. He is un excellent lawyer, an able debater, and his words .ring out with tbe riob penetration of a silver olarion. If, having made peace with his conscience by artistically pain iug Butler as "pu? sillanimous in war, inhuman in peace, forbidden in sooiety, and infamous in politics," he is now ready to wash his hands and go sensibly to work, imme? diate glory and prosperity await bim. Kentucky has not had a Henry Clay or Tom Marshall for some years. It is abont time. John Young Brown is in better trim to fill tbe bill than any known eoioo of that State of superb women, celestial Bourbon aud immor? tal race horses. But if he fools away further time paying devoir to the me? mory of the punctured Confederacy, and in ooining rhetorical insolence, the golden day for him will presently have slipped forever. One good insult is us much as a clean aud ambitious man oan afford to waste on Butler. {Chicago Times.

Mr. Donaldson?Joint resolution to amend a joint resolution authorizing und requiring tbe State Treasurer to pay to the County Treasorer of Green rille County the sum of 810.050, to be applied to free sobool purposes, ap proved Maroh 14, 1874. The Speaker uf the House of Repre? sentatives attended in the Senate, when tbe following were ratified: An Act to amend Section 1 of an Aet for the bettor protection of land own? ers and persons renting land to others for agricultural purposes, and amend Acts relating thereto; to prohibit a circus, or any show traveling in ooa neotioa therewith, from exhibiting for gain within any County in ibis State, without haviug first obtained a license from Clerk of Court of said County; to incorporate tho Winnsboro Build? ing and L'.?an Association; to incor? porate Uiberuia Savings Bank, of Charleston; joint resolutions to pro? vide for payment of officers, attacheea and employees, and contingent ex? penses of present Session of General Assembly; to amend Section 3, Chap? ter CXI, of tbe General Statutes. Mr. Bowon sent to tbo desk and bad read the followiug communication: To tue Honorable the Senate op tub State up South Carolina: In view uf the inadequate appropriation now about to be made tor the State Louutio Asylum with its preseut popu? lation, it will be necessary to discharge from tbe institution a large number of iumatdB. I, therefore, respectfully ask that an appropriation of not le6S than five hundred ($500) dollars be made to defray the expenses of sending dis? charged patients to their respective Counties, or that a law be passed re? quiring the County Commissioner* to rninnve them from the institution by the 1st day of March next. Tho uvoruge annual oust of mantuin ing the insane in the various institu? tions of this country is 8292 per capita If we apply tho.-o figures to our Asy? lum, it will' be seen that S50.000 will support only 171 inmates. But I think we can support our iusaue very comfortably for $250 each per an num. By this estimate, $50,000 would euahle us to maintain 200 patients. But there are in the institution, at this time, up? wards of JUO, which, if the reduction hud been made at the beginning of tbe year, would have necessitated the dis? charge of about 100. But as one-third of the n*o>d year will have passed be? fore any reduction oan be made, the number to be discharged must he cor? respondingly larger. It is a matter of deep regret that the State of South Carolina, in this age of liberal ideas and broad humanity, is unable to afford that aid and protec? tion to her insane wards that is now extended to this most afflicted class of our fellow-beings by every civilized government in the world. But such appears to bo the condition of oar finances that we arc compelled to either support the Institution open other peoples' money, or turn its in? mates out. Of tho two evils, we are compelled to accept the latter; and to this end out down tbe operations of the tustilutiou to a limit that will brills its expenses fully within its in? come. I must bo permitted to say, however, that I cannot regard this m the light of reform, but rather us u disgraceful and humiliating necessity? "a misfortune and a reproach to the Stute;" a retrogression m civilization, "ami a wrong to a class of oar fellow beings which have peculiar claims upon our aid and sympathy." Very respectfully, J.
