WASHtNOTON, February 20 ?The Vioe-Pre^dent laid before the Senate the credentials of Andrew Johnson, as Senator from Tennessee, for the term oommenofng' March 4, 1875, wbioh were.read and placed on the file. Mr. Wright .called up the resolution sub? mitted by him yesterday, providing for 'the appointment of a seleot com? mittee of five Senators, to ait during the recess, and to examine into the various branches of the civil servioe, with a view k> the re-organization of the same, &a., the committee to report by. bill or otherwise at the next session of Congress; passed. He also called up the House joint resolution in rela? tion to Civil service examinations. It provides that all other things being equal, disabled soldiers, their wives, the widowa and obildren of deceased aoldiera who died in the liuo of duty, shall have precedence in appointments in the civil servioe. Mr. Bayard ex? pressed his admiration and sympathy for those who had served the republic in the field, and he suggested that the principle of the resolution was not sound. It bad not been our policy to aetapi favored a lass, but the passage of saoh a resolution would be apt to beget animosity toward those for whose benefit it wea intended; be thought it was contrary to the' spirit of the Con- [ atitntion. The resolution wea passed by a vote of 36 to 8. Mr. Ingalls re? ported * resolution providing for the appointment of a select oommitteo of five Senators to visit the Indian Ter? ritory daring the recces, to inquire into the condition of affairs in that country. Mr. Sherman objected, and it weht over. The unfinished basin ess being the Indian appropriation bill, was taken up. I? the House, Mr. Dawea, of Massa? chusetts, moved that the House go into1 Committee of the Whole on the tariff | bill. Mr. Durham, of Kentucky, op Eoeed the motion, desiring a morning our for the consideration of the hill In relation to the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company. Objection was made, and the House decided to go into Committee of the Whole on the I tax and tariff bill. Mr. Smith, of Ohio, said there were $100,000,000 of imported goods in this country, and the effect of the bill would be to add 810.000,000 tp the cost of these goods I to .the people, and put a corresponding j increase upon artioles of American manufacture. Mr. Maynard, of Ten? nessee, advocated the restoration of 10 per cent, and argued that the increase in the duty was paid by foreign manu? facturers, vand not the Amerioan con? sumer. After two hours' debate, under the five minutes rule, Mr. Dawes moved that the oommitteo rise, for the purpose of. cutting off debate. The motion was sgreed to?91 to 90. De? bate was, by order of the House, limited'to.one hoar, and the House again went into Committee of the Whole; ' ' A f nil meeting the Louisiana Com? mittee was held last night, at whiob the whole subject of the troubles there was discoessd. Four members of the committee?Hoar, Frye, Wheeler sod Foster?have agreed npon a report, very radios! in its obaraeter, but Foster will disar t in some particalars.

State Conventions Not Favoiied iiy the Democrats.?Th ere have been general consultations of late among Democrats in both Houses npou too expediency of Southern States culling conventions to ohange their Constitu? tions, and it has been agreed, with much unanimity, to discountenance SUOh conventions. The question tirst came from Georgia some weeks since, aud Senator Gordon wrote, strongly deprecating the movement. Nat lung since there was a conference at Raleigh of a Dumber of the most prominent Conservatives in North Carolina upon the propriety of oalling a oonvention. The matter was referred to Senator Ransom, and he oonsnlied with Demo? crats freely in both Houses, aud wrote baok that the entire body of Conserva? tives here was opposed to the holding of suoh conventions now, in any part of the South. Within a few days the Texas Legislature has consulted the delegates of that State here upon the same subject. There was a reply sent to-day, signed by the whole delegation, urging that no step bo taken to osll a oonvention. The object of these con? ventions, as stated to the Southern members here, was not to ohange those portions of the constitutions re? lating to questions of the present Government, or those growing oat of tho war, but the replies, in all oases, were that no matter what the reasons were, it was altogether inexpedient at the present time to call constitutional conventions for any purpoite whatever.

Am A ?Clint Djmlnle?Jamil R. IVaod. We wandered tbro* the city, Jale? We heated for the tree, Upon the sohool bouse playing ground, That sbolter'd you aod me. We miea'd the backet from the well, Jale, The bell we bated ao, That roog aa into aobool, Jule, When we did not want to go. We inqair'd for the master, Jaie, Whom we as'd to love ao, Who taaght aa in oar youth, Jale, Some forty years ago. Many years ago there lived in the city of Columbia an earnest, deter? mined, practical school-master, who died during the late war?James K. Wood?the mention of whose name will find a response in the hearts of many of the citizens of the upper Counties of South Carolina. It would require an ablor hand than ouraelf to sketch his character; for it would bo difficult to oalonlate the amount of good and estimate the debt of grati? tude due the memory of this austere, yet good hearted and devoted old domi? nie. Yerily he was an instructor, in? deed, to the rising generation of his day; as his good works do live after him. All over the op country, in fact over the State, you can find some of his "pupils," aod many of them are doing well. If some have failed, (aud whose pupils do not?) it woe not for the want of good advice, sound in? struction and diligent effort ou his part. It was not for the want of decent, salutary, wholesome flogging, for "A man severe ho was, and stern to view, I knew him well, and every truant knew. Well bad the boding trembler learu'd to trace The day's disasters in his morning fao^; Full well they laugb'd, with counter? feited glee, At all his jokes, for many a joke had he; Full well the busy whisper, circling round Couvey'd the dismal tidings when he frown'd Yet he was kind, or if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was a fault. He believed in the maxims of Solo? mon, "spare the rod'and you spoil the child." Then, there was his good wife. "Her cap, far whiter than the driven snow, Emblem right meet of decency." She assisted the old dominie, and trained up the young ideas in their ABO. She, too, sometimes did wield "Tway birchen sprays," whiob the little brats did view with anxious fear. Nevertheless, she waa lenient, gentle, and knew full well how "To stay harsh justice in it's mad career." It woald be impossible for us to call op, through the long lapse of years, the many euooessfal merohsnts, me? chanics, farmers, lawyers and doctors who were brought op at the feet of this Gamaliel. There is of the living, that we recollect, E. M., a dis? tinguished merchant of Charleston; D. B. M., Clerk of the Court of Co? lumbia; R. Li. MoC, President of the bank at Nowberry; Dr. R. B. R. and Dr. S., physicians of Newherry; Dr. T., of California; J. A. S., editor of the Piicsnix; John C. D., a distinguished merchant of Colombia. There are a great many others, besides, who have moved away to other sections, that have filled important offices, us well as some who have passed along the highway of lifo in the more peaceful and quiet avocations. Together with those who came regularly to his school, there woro a greut many young men, students of South Carolina College, who were accustomed to take lessons from him in Euglish grammar, an ordinary but difficult study. The old dominie was an excellent grammarian; we doubt if there was his equal in the State, daring his day and time. He was also a fine mathematioian, and by some peculiar process altogether his own, he inducted into his pupils "a tact" for oatculating in their beads with an ease, quickness and faoility that would astonish the pencil students of the present time. His great forte was in teaching rightly to his seholara spelling, reading, writing and arithme? tic?loot of the most important requi? sites in elementary eduoation. This, we know, is what every teacher pro? mises to do; but it is not every teacher that does it, or knows how to do it. There is the rub. We venture to say, right here, that no scholar of hia ever went forth from hia hands otherwise than a good orthographist, olever reader and a ready calculator. What be promised to do, he did with all his heart, mind and thought. There waa many a bard case under the oharge of the old dominie; bnt he understood thoroughly how to manage such oases. It was a matter of indif? ference to him how old, or large, or strong a student was; he had to obey orders, or take the hickory. He was by no means a professed pugilist, but hs was sufficiently versed to walk through any twebty-ons year old Ame? rican, with a graos sod skill thst woald soen convince the most fastidious that he had V? ? '? ? "Ihs will to do and the soul to dare." As wc have already intimated, he was particularly fond of mathematics, and used to carry with him 16 the black-board a long ruler, with s spongs attached to one end, to rub oat the problems if they were not worked to salt him. The beys called this ruler "the mathematical dioe-box," and woe unto the "youthful mathematician," if the dominie Wiped oat three times. He'd torn the sharp end and play upon bis knuckles till ibej would rattle like a dice box. He alwaye kept stretched ont over bis denk a couple or so of long, keen, savage-looking parched bickorioH, wbiob * he would Use occasionally with aaeb a vim that [an outsider, if he didn't know, would suppose that the old dominie was beat? ing out flax with a flsil. In onr day and time ibere were three bard Dots, irrepressibles?Tim. Asbford, Pat. I Powers aqd John Dye. Old Hickory, j as they* styled him, used to call them bin "pot cubs." for no matter bow hard he laid on the hickory, ho in? variably failed even to elicit a single tear; they done nothing but "growl." j Whenever they were unruly, which I was pretty often, be would tio them to the legs of bis defck und lather them to his bean's content. Poor Tim.! ho has gone the way of nil tho earth, (and we must say ho was a clever school? mate, if be was a rude boy,) was uc .uubtomed to say: "It did him as much I good for Old Hickory to wbule him as it did a horse to curry him. It hard eued hi* munch s, opened tho pores o! ! his skin, aud gave him un appetite for fighting." The boys hud a song which I commenced with "There's little Tim. Asbford, Powors aud Dye, Who gel as mauy stripes as btars in the sky." They used to vow, whenever they got to ?e growu, they would pummel old Hickory well; but this was all gammon, for the boyB loved the old dominie, True, we used to think that nchool masters were made for nothing else but to flog boya. What boy don't think so? Now this is all wrong, for school masters don't whip boys be? cause they hate them, but from the fact that they love them. We got to thinking this way about the old domi? nie; to the more he whipped us the better we loved , him. ie-, we loved tho old dominie deepite his "rods," aud sometimes now, when we are sit? ting down by our fireside, pipe iu baud, while the amoke curls gracefully up, our memory goes back to "the happy hours of joyous youth," and so vivid is our recollection, that we oatch uuruelf, us if the old dominie appear on the mirror, unconsciously shrug? ging up our shoulders to tighten the hide, as the mule doeth, to receive the anticipated descending stripes. Ab! in our pensive moods, d> ar Julo. As thoughts on .thoughts successive rise, From out the chambers of the brain, And image after iuinge flics. Dreams come stealing through our mind, Like strains of music, soft aud low, Aud mem'ry travels back again To the scenes of "Forty years ago." When the sunny hours of childhood Swept like einging streams along, And the valley and the wild-woods Eoho'd to our merry songs; WJ>eu wo u*'d to run bright races With the sunshine on the hill, O'er these old familiar plaoee, Does the sunbeam linger still? But, ?b every rose has its thorn, every bitter its sweet and every puin its pleasure, so it was in those school? boy days, with all its flogging. There were numerous girls who used to come to school. A thin partition divided the boys from the girls, while the old domine's desk extended ont on either side. The most venturesome lad-*, by means of their jack-knives, made a considerable opening between the planks of tho p irtition aud the desk, and by this moans passed candies, rose? buds und ilowers to t heir Bweot-ht arl.-, who used to send back through the .-.aniu kiss versos und little notes. The old dotniuo found it cut, and tried to stop tho coarse, of school-boy love; but it was no use; for all his powers, threats and stripes could not keep it closed. Ah! those girls, tho.se happy girls of school-boy days; when their faces. "So lovely, yet ho arch, so full of mirth. The overflowing of nu innocent heart; They haunt us still, tho' many a year has lied. Like some wild melody." We once thought our school-boy days were hard days, bub we see now "They were so many rainbows in our sky." Verily, they have passed awuy, like I our old master, the austere but kind i hearted old dominie, whom we trust? did we say "trust?" oh, not Jute! this implies somewhat a doubt?let us rather say, we believe, almost know that be bas gone "Where the faded flower shall freshen, Freshen never more to fade; Where the sun-blaze never scorohes, Where the star-beams oease to chill, Where no tempest stirs the echoes Of the wood, or wave, or hill; Where the morn shall wake in glad? ness, And the noon the joy prolong; Where the daylight dies in fragranco, 'Midst the burst of holy long." May his rest be peaceful forover more, "'mid the holy and the blest." A majority of those who listened to his instructions, end smarted under his rod, have gene, too, to their resting place, and now sleep, like him, the aleop that knows no waking. Yet there are many scattered broadcast over this State end else where, Who still remember the school, Jule, The master so good and eo true; Who teogbt neer the corner, in the little while house, 8eores of others with me and yon.
