A BLILLIANT WEDDING.—'The marriage of Mr. San ford C. Davis, Prosecuting Attorney of the Terre Haute Circuit, and Miss Fannie C. Kinder, was celebrated at the residence of the bride's mother, 27 Lockerbie street, in this city, last evening, in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives of both parties. In addition to the relatives who came from a distance, the groom was accompanied by a delegation of Terre Haute, lawyers, .-.mong whom were Wm. Mack, John T. Scott, Albert J. Kelly, Sidney 13. Davis, Isaac N. Pierce. Chas, Cruft, E. P. Beauchamp, Samuel Royse, Wm. E. McLean and John C. Briggs.

The room in which the couple were vinarried was handsomely decorated with •J lowers anil evergreens. On one of the avails was arranged a handsome evergreen arch, immediately under the key wa9 an artistically wrought monogram "K—D." In front of the arch a few leet was a beautiful marriage bell, the tongue sind hammer of which was a lily and its fitem. From this bell festoons of flowers reached to the several corners of the room, giving the whole an exceedingly beautiful appearance. On the walls on either side of the marriage bell, hung the portraits of the fatker and mother of the bride.

The bridal couple were attended by Major John C. Br.iggs, of Terre Haute, and Miss Sadie Kinder, sister of the bride, and Mr. Edward Williams, of Baltimore, and Miss Lena Boyd, of this city the bride's, cousin. The costumes of the whole party were exceedingly rich and elegant. The bride wore a white satin dress trimmed in point lace. Orange (lowers decorated her head, from which hung an illusion veil. She wore pearl jewelry with diamond drops. Miss Sadie Ivsnder's dress was a rose-colored moire antique, trimmed with illusion, with an overskirt of the same. She wore pearl jewelry. Miss Leon a Boyd's dress was an arsenic green gros-grain silk, with illusion trimming She wore gold jewelry. The gentlemen were dressed in black, with white vests, thies and gloves.

The bridal couple stood just under the marriage bell, and a finer looking pair has seldom betn seen in this city, flanked on either side by an attendant couple, :the whole party forming a semi-circle. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. Andruf, pastor of Meridian Street M. E. Churc who used the entire formula. The eouisasMing parties were entirely selfpossessed, and plighted their troth and went through the endowment with the ring iu a perfectly clear tone of voice. 'The whole ceremony was quite interesting.

The presents on this occasion were quite numerous, including a Stein way .piano from the groom, silverware in great profusion, chromos, photographs' .table linen, writing desk, Bible, glove •and handkerchief boxes, and various other articles from the many friends of the pair.

After receiving the congratulations of the company, Mr. and Mrs. Davis left at eighth o'clock for Terre Huute, which place will be then* future residence.—In{iianapolf# jdornvng Journal, Dec, 22.

CON'UliESSIOSAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 1S71. SENATE.

Mr. Sumner introduced the followin joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution confining the President to one term

WHEREAS, For many years there has been an increasing conviction amoug the people, without distinction of party, that one wielding the vast patronage of the President should not be a candidate for re-election, and this conviction has found expression in the solemn warning of illustrious citizens, and in repeated propositions for the amendment of the Constitution confining the President to one term and,

WHEREAS, Andrew Jackson was so fully impressed by the peril to Republican institutions from temptations acting on the President, who, wielding the vast patronage of his office as a candidate for re-election, that in his first annual message he called attention to it that in his second annual message, after netting forth the designs of the Constitution to secure independence in each department of the government and promote a healthful and equitable administration of all trusts which it has created,he did not hesitate to say "The agent most likely to contravene this design of the Constitution is the Chief Magistrate." And then proceeded to declare in order particularly, that this appointment may, .as far as possible, be placed beyond the reach of any improper influences in order that he may approach the solemn responsibilities of'the highest office in the gift of a free people uncommitted to any other course than that of a strict line of constitutional duty, and that the securities for this independence may be rendered as strong as the nature of the power and weakness of its possesor will admit, I can not too earnestly invite your attention to the propriety of promoting such amendment of the Constitution as will render him ineligible after one term of service and then again in his third annual message the same President renewed this patriotic appeal

And whereas William Henry Harrison, following in the footsteps of Andrew Jackson, felt it a primary duty in accepting his nomination for President to assert the one term principles in these explicit words: "Among the principles proper to be adopted by the Executive sincerely desiring to restore the Administration to its original simplicity and purity, I deem the following of importance: First, to confine his services to a siugle term." In a public speech during the canvass which ended in his election, he declared if the privilege of being President of the United States had been limited to one term the incumbent would devote all his time to the public interest, and there would be no cause to misrule the country, and he concluded by pledging himself before heaven and earth, if elected President of the United States, to lay down at the end of the term faithfully that high trust of the people. Whereas Henry Clay, though differing much from Andrew Jackson, united with him on the one term principle, and publicly enforced in a speech on June 27,1840, when, after asking for a provision to render a person ineligible to the office of President of the United Slates after service of one term, he explained the necessity of the amendment by saying that much observation and deliberate reflection have satisfied me that too much of the time, thoughts and exertions of the incumbent are occupied during the first term iu securing his reelection, the public business consequently suffers and then again, in a letter dated September 13, 1842, while setting forth what he calls the principal objects engaging the common desires and common exertions of the Whig party,, the same statesman specifies an amendment to the Constitution limiting the incumbent of the Presidential office to a single term and

WHEREAS, The Whig party in its National Convention in Baltimore, May 1, 1844, nominated Henry Clay for President, with a platform wherein a single term for the Presidency is declared to be amoug the groat principles of the Whig party—"principles inseparable from the public honor and prosperity to be maintained and advanced by the election of these candidates," Which declaration was echoed at the immense meeting in Monument Square, addressed by Daniel Webster, when it was resolved that the limitation of the President should be a single term, was among the objects for which the Whig party will unceasingly strive until their efforts are crowned with signal and triumphant success and

WHEREAS, In the same spirit, and iu harmony with these authorities, another statesman, Benjamin F. Wade, at the close of his long service iu the Seuate, most earnestly urged an amendment of the Constitution confining the President to one term, and in his speech on that occasion—February 26,1866—said "The offering of this resolution is no new impulse of mine, for I have been an advocate of the principle contained iu it for many years, and I have derived the strong impressions which I entertain on the subject from a very carefui observation of the workings of the Government. During the period that I have been an observer of them I believe it has been very rare that we have been able to elect a President of the United States who has not been tempted to use the vast powers entrusted to him, according to his own opinions, to advance his reelection aud then, after exposing at length the necessity of this amendment, the veteran Senator further declared there are defects in the Constitution, and this is among the most glaring, all men have seen, now let us have the nerve let us have this resolution to come up and apply the remedy.

WHEREAS, These testimonies revealing the intense and widespread convictions of the American people, are reinforced by the friendly observations of De Toqueville, the remarkable Frenchman t/ whom our country is uudersucli great aud lasting obligations, in his famous work on "Democracy iu America," where he says in words of singular clearness and force, that "intrigue and corruption are vices natural to elective governments, but when the chief of a government can be re-elected these vices extend indefinitely and compromise even the existeuce of the country.

trigue, his manoeuvres can operate over a circumscribed space but when, on the contrary, the Chief of the Governmenl himself enters the ranks of the candidates, he borrows for his own purpose the force of the Government. In the first case it is one man with his feeble means in the second, it is the Goverumedt itself with its immense resources which intrigues and corrupts and then again the same great writer, who has studied our country so closely, testifies that it is impossible to consider the ordinary course of affairs in the United States without perceiving that the desire to be re-elected dominates the thoughts of the President that all the policy of his administration tends to this point that his best movements are subordinated to this object that in proportion as the momentof a crisis approaches, individual interest substitutes itself iu his mind for general interest.

WHEREAS, All these concurring voices, whose patriotism, experience and wisdom bear testimony, have additional value at the moment when the country is looking anxiously to a reform of the civil service, for the reason that there is peril from the Chief Magistrate so long as he is exposed to temptation, which surpasses that from any other quarter and thus the first stage in this much desired reform is the one term principle, to the end that the President, who exercises the appointing power, reaching into all parts of the country, and holding in subordination a multitudinous army of olfice-sholders, shall be absolutely without motive or inducement to employ it for any other purpose than public good and

WHEREAS, The character of Republican institutions requires that the Chief Magistrate shall be above all suspicion of using the machinery of which he is the official head to promote his own personal aims therefore,

Be it cnacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Stales of America in Congress assembled, That the following article is hereby proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States shall be valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the Constitution, to-wit:

Article 1, section 1. No parson who has once held the office of President of United States shall thereafter be elligible \o that office.

Section 2. This act shall not take effect until after the 4th of March, 1873. Mr. Sumner, introducing the amendment, said "I shall content myself with a brief remark. This is an era of civil service reform, and the President of the United States, in his message, has already called our attention to that importautsubject, and made a,recommendation with reference to it. It may be remembered that I hailed that message at once as it was read from the desk. I forbore then to state that I missed one important recommendation—a verv important recommendation, one without which all other recommendations, I fear maybe futile. I missed a recommendation of an amendment to the Constitution in conformity with the best precedents iu our history, and with the recommendations of illustrious meu, limiting a person holding the office of President to one term. Sir, that is the initial point iu the civil service reform that is the first stage in that great reform. The scheme of the President is the play of Hamlet without Hamlet. I propose by the amendment that I offer, to see that Hamlet be brought into the play. [Laughter.]

Mr. Sherman—Does the gentleman propose to postpone the play of the civil service reform until we adopt this amendment?

Mr. Sumner—No but I propose to put Hamlet into the play it need not take long to do it.

The joint resolution was read and laid over. Mr. Sumner called attention to the fact that the amendment was not to go iuto effect until March 4, 1873, therefore it would not interfere with the preference of Senators for any particular candidate next year.

Mr. Sumuer offered a resolution which was adopted, directing the Committee on Retrenchment to inquire whether any money has been paid on account of any asserted lease of Samaua Bay to the United States, and if-so by whom, out of what fund, and to what amount also, if such money have been paid by private persons, to report the names of such persons with their business, and the inducements for this outlay, whether they are interested in land grants in the Island of Santo Domingo, aud whether there has been any understanding that such moneys would be refunded by the United States.

Mr. Thurmau offered a resolution to admit Mr. Goldthwaite, of Alabama, to a seat in the Senate pending the investigation by the Committee on Privileges and Elections of his right to a seat. It was in accordance, he said, with the uniform practice in such cases to admit a Senator having prima facia claim to a seat, pending an investigation of his claim.

Mr. Sherman was opposed to admitting Mr. Goldthwaite, because evidence had been laid before the Senate that several of the members of the Legislature which elected him held their own seats by fraud and violence, and others were ineligible to office under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Pending the discussion the morning hour expired. The general amnesty bill was taken up.

The peudiug Amendment was Mr. Morton's, providing that the act should not be construed so as to validate the election of anybody to auy office under the United States Government who was, at the time of his election,, ineligible bylaw. The amendment -was rejected by the following vote:

Yeas—Messrs. Ames, Anthony, Buckingham, Caldwell, Carpenter, Chandler, Clayton, Conkliug, Corbett, Edmunds, Ferry, of Mich. Flanagan, Frelinghuysen, Hamlin, Morrill, of Maiue Morrill, of Vermont Morton, Nye, Pomeroy, Pool, Pratt, Ramsey, Rice, Sprague, Scott, Spencer, Sumuer aud Windom —28.

Nays—Messrs. Alcorn, Bayard, Blair, Casserly, Cooper, Davis, of Ky. Davis, of W. Va. Fenton, Ferry, of Conu. Hamilton, of Md. Hill, Hitchcock, Johnson, Kellogg, Kelly, Lewis, Logan, Norwood, Robertson, Saulsbury, Schurz, Sherman, Stevenson, Stockton, Thurmau, Tipton, Trumbull, Vickers and West—29.

Mr. Sumner's amendment, supplementary to the civil rights bill, then came up.

Mr. Thurmau made the point that it was not in order, because it was a measure which, if it stood alone, could be passed by a majority vote, while the pending bill required a two-thirds vote.

Mr. Thurman raised the point that the amendment was not in order because it would require the approval of the President in order to become a law, whereas the amnesty bill could become a law without the President's approval.

This point was discussed at length by Messrs. Trumbull, Carpenter, Edmunds, Conkling, Thurman, and Davis, of Kentucky*

Both points were overruled by the Chair. Mr. Thurmau appealed from the decision of the Chair upon his point of or-

dor, and the decision was sustained by yeas, 28, nays 2G. Mr. Sumner's amendment was then rejected by the following vote

Yeas Messrs. Ames, Anthony, Brownlow, Buckingham, Caldwell, Carpenter, Claytou, Conkling, Corbett, Edmunds, Ferry of Michigan, Frelinghuyen, Hawley, Kellogg, Morrill of Maine, Morton, Nye, Patterson, Pomeroy, Pratt, Ramsey, Rice, Sherman, Spencer, Sumner, West, Wilson and Windom—29.

Mays—Alcorn, Bayard, Blair, Boreman, Casserly, Cooper, Davis of Kentucky, Davis of West Virginia, Fenton, Ferry of Connecticut, Hamilton of Maryland, Hill, Hitchcock, Johnson, Kelly, Lewis, Logan, Morrill of Maine, Norwood, Pool, Robertson, Saulsbury. Sawyer, Schurz, Scott, Stevenson, Stewart, Thurman, Tipton, Trumbull—30.

Mr. Edmunds offered an amendment which would exclude all members of Congress succeeding the Thirty-fifth, who participated iu the rebellion, which was lost, the vote being -ayes, 27 nays, 31.

Mr. Pratt offered an amendment providing that the removal of disabilities should not give persons so relieved any status iu the courts which they do not now possess, in asserting claims against the United States. Lost. Yeas, 4 nays, 55.

Mr. Wilson moved to amend by striking out the exceptions iu the bill, and excluding instead only members of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses who aided the rebellion, Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, heads of the executive departments of the Government in 1860-61, who joined the rebellion. Lost by yea?, 4 nays, 55.

Mr. Morton offered, in different language, substantially the same amendment offered by him yesterday and rejected this morning, and it was adopted by a vote of 29 to 26.

Mr. Sherman offered an amendment, which was rejected by 22 nays, 31 yeas. Mr. Morton offered an amendment excluding from the operations of the bill all who are or have been, withiu twelve months, members of the Ku Klux Ivlan. Lost, yeas 27, nays 2S.

Mr. Conkling offered substantially the same amendment offered by Mr. Pratt. It was again rejected, by yeas 21, nays32.

Mr. Pratt offered an amendment excluding members of the Ku Klux organization. Lost, yeas 27, nays 29.

The bill having been considered in Committee of the Whole was reported to the Senate, and the question was taken on concurring in the adoption -of Morton's amendment, which was adopted in Committee. The amendment was concurred in. Yeas 29—nays 26.

Mr. Sumner again offered in the Senale his Supplementary Civil Rights Bill. Mr. Kellogg opposed it, and urged the passage of the bill as it came from the House, as a matter of justice and sound policy. The people of the South had naturally affiliated with the Republican party, but they were opposed to it now, because it was identified, in their minds, with laws that oppress them and subject them to heavy aud grinding taxation, and put them at the mercy of loafers, thieves, and adventurers.

Mr. A. G. Thurman denounced Mr. Sumner's amendment as proposing the most flagrant violation of the Constitution he had ever proposed.'

Mr. Robertson wished to call the attenof the country to the fact that the men Who heralded themselves as friends to aniMesty had voted to trammel the bill with amendments.

Mr. Sawyer was confident that this Congress would very soon pass an amnesty bill, and he was willing to wait for it for the sake of getting a properly framed bill.

Mr. Logan charged that certain Senators wbo had urged the passage of the amnesty bill, had to-day voted for the amendments intended to delay the bill until the committee should have reported ou the claim of one man to a seat in the Senate, (referring to Governor Vance, of North Carolina.) "He had himself seen men on the floor of the Senate, button-holing Senators to postpone a bill until their case was settled. The measure was now defeated for the time, and therefore he appealed to his friends not to press it further just now.

At 6:35, without acting on the bill, the Senate adjourned.

FASHION-ABLE GOSSIP.

Newly married folks are all the fashion now. The most fashionable colors for reception dress and bonnets are peacock blue and elephant grey.

A plain white dress, without ornament or flower of any kind, is the severest test of awomau's beauty and complexion.

The gossippers are agitating themselves about the "rich, rare and racy" developments anticipated from the trial of the case of Humaston vs. McGregor.

The ladies of the city are anxious to see the imported brides who will soon make their appearance. The legal gentlemen will take notice and place their brides on exhibition as soon as convenient.

Linen collars have been almost entirely superseded by tulle or muslin ruffles rouud the: neck and hand. We cau say, therefore, with truth, that most of the ladies now-a-days, "put on a great many frills."

The latest style of veils are pointed, aud thickly studded with small jet beads but they will not be generally adopted, as they are said to be very injurious to the eyesight. In this respect they are about as injurious as the "old style flyspeck veils."

Ladies who have foresight and consider the result ot tendering youug meu wine when making New Year calls for '72, will studiously and firmly "innovate" that most pernicious of customs. Did they but for a moment consider where such temptations so often lead, we feel assured they will act upon the suggestion of their consciences, which says "don't!"

The Cornell Era observes very pointedly that when a fellow drops in to see a senior and the door-bell is tardily answered by a girl with.glowing face, and the said senior's table has knitting-work which is not in his course, lying upon it, and two chairs stand close to each other, it is useless for that man of '72 man to look child-like and inquire whether "the murder of Wallenstein was justifiable."

Heller, the magiciau, ha% gone to Indian to discover the mode of performing the famous burial trick of the native jugglers. Those eccentric religious enthusiasts, the Thugs, will teach him the trick in short order if he will only submit to a little preliminary strangling.

Grant will be glad that Christmas is coming, for it i3 the time for presents.— Cincinnati Enquirer,
