THE remains of the mother of President Lincoln, the martyr of universal liberty, lies in an obscure grave at Rockport, this State.

A Herald special from Berlin says that the German nation is arming again and assuming a war aspect rapidly. Three corps of the imperial Prussian army have received orders from the War Office to hold-themseveB fully equipped and in readiness to move immediately, when directed. The reason is found in the great activity now pervading the French, political situation, at Versailles, and the consequent apprehension on the part of Germany of the possible occurrence of a sudden change, not only in the Ministry but in the form of government of France.

Prussia reserves to herself the right to judge of and pronounce on any new Government which may succeed that of Thiers as to whether such anew Government is likely to execute the Treaty of JPeace&nd discharge the French obligations to Germany. Should Prussia decide unfavorably, another invasion of France will probably follow.,'

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Feb. 24.—The ice in the river is growing weak rapidly and only a few trains ventured across yesterday and none to-day. The ice bridge is kept in place by the prompt repairing of sections which settle. Freight is arriving from the west freely. Some thirty cars of tea, silk and wool, which have long been delayed in the mountains, were received to-day, making a total of 100 since the blockade was raised.

The Japanese will reach this point Sunday morning, and will go forward in five splendid Pullman palace sleeping cars, accompanied by two dining cars. They will arrive in Chicago on Monday morning about ,two o'clock.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 24.—None of the' wounded in the railroad accident have yet died, and with. the exception of the baggage-man, it is not probable that any one will.

The'conductor, against whom some unknown person had a spite, has lately received threatening letters, vowing to do him injury.*2 3 fj

A heavy freight and passenger train passed over the bridge a short time previous to the accident, and the train which met with the accident was the lightest train on the road, A searching investigation into the cause has already begun.

The Railroad company have done everything possible for the comfort of the wounded, giving them their choice of where they should be taken to and assuming all expenses. It is only fair to say that the officers of the road gave every assistance in their power to the reporter in procuring the facts telegraphed last night. "v-

[Associated Press Report.] CONGRESSIONAL* 1 MTIMO

SENATE.

Senator Sprague presented a resolution from the Legislature of Rhode Island, protesting against interference with the inhabitants of the Indiau Territory.

Mr. Trumbull,-froti&tbe Judiciary Committee reported a bill to abolish stock gambling.

On motion of Mr. Sherman, a bill was passed to prohibit individuals or corporations from issuing notes or bills as a circulating medium. This bill was aimed especially at railroad companies in the South, who are issuing small notes, and thus setting up an unauthorized banking system. r. Chandler, from the Committee on Commerce, reported the following bill with amendments: Authorizing the construction of a railroad bridge across the Ohio river at Mount Vernon, near Evansville, Indiana, establishing the Collection District of Duluth, and creating-St. Paul a port of deli very.

A bill was iutroduced by Mr. Blai»*, authorizing the construction of a bridge over the Missouri, river at Boonville, Missouri.

Onjcnotion of Mr. SUmner, a bill was passed providing for the survey of the harbor in the rfver at Washington, D. C.

The resolution to investigate the alleged sales of aims to the French was then taken-up t?'« H**!»•.

Mr. Cole endeavored tO have a final Vote taken at 3 P. M., but Senator Trumbull took the floor and addressed the Senate. He said that every effort of reform in this body was met by assaults upon those who made theeffort by aspersions upon their motives, and by charges of bad party faith.

Mr. Trumbull continued: "The queStionis affecting the parties of the Government and the welfare of the public arej in the opinion of some of the members of this body who assume to be the peculiar exponents of the Republican party, no longer to be decided on their merits, but only with a view to their bearing on the party. Chief among those who Would subordinate the public welfare to pj&rty stands the Senator from Indlaua, (Morton). In a discussion of the resolu* tion under oonsideration, he has devoted two or three hours to assaults on those who have felt it to be their duty to save this investigation, and not content with that, he has taken occasion to wander away from the subfat and talk about a Senatorial cabal. I do not know by what authority any member of this body assumes to be a peculiar exponent of the

Republican party, or even of the Administration. I intend to say something in reply to the repeated assaults that have been made by those who assume to be better Republicans thari their fellow Senators. I intend to show the course of these Senators, and before I have done, unless I'mlsunderstand what tbe principles of th^ Hepublisan party ate, I shall be able to show that he wlio stands fore^ most here on all occasions to denounce •ethers a^ the asiaiiltingparty, has himself forgotten tlie principles on which the Republican party was fonnded, and Is himseff at War with them. aiiji, JCr.

that wks a stkiidard of duty for

Sehators acting^ undei* oath. When it was proposed to investigate the abuses of the Ne\v York Custom House the Senator from Indiana did ill' he could to defeat it, but now' he boasts that it was a white-washing committee. That Committee has not yet made its. report, aud he (Trumbnll) would not assail but its conduct id making the investigation was public, and somewhat remarkable. The witnesses, who testified that t^e Custom House officers had interfered with the Legislature of'New York Were asked whether they wdre not there themselves for the Same pufpose, as if thepoeple had not the' rlgiit to take part in politics, and as if the committee could call the people to account for their political action. He had seen it stated, too', that notice bad been given that fitnesses who were brought* before the cbhaimittee for the purpose of exposing corruption and malfeasance in office I" were. themselves to be prosecuted.' A goo'(} way to en courage witnesses to testify. Again on the pending resolution, the same old cry of "Party! party!!" bad been raised, and SehaloVs who Tove'd'the' resolution Were -tlir&iteiied with fine and imprisonment. He wttuld not comment on ttie motives Of Seha'tbrs, but the people are thoroughly arous^ against fraud and corruption everyw^erfe,, and they would understand the motives of these Senators very well. Tlie Senator from Indiana had denounced the.platform'of the Liberal Republican's as anti-Republican and essentially Democratic, and lie would how undertake to show that a man who held that view did not know the meaning of republicanism. ^Se then went over thef solutions in the platform one by onie and insisted'that they were all in complete accord with the principles of the Republican party. They were the principles1he ha'd contended for through all: his public 'life/ and, God helping him, he woild'contend for them to theeiid:

He' Was sorry that Trumbull had identifieil hikiiseif with it,, but as he bad done so others cou Id not do less than recoghize, the fact.

Mr. Trumbull had pretended that there was no evidence th^t the. Cincinnati Convention was totnakea noniinationfor the Presidency.

Mr, Voorbees spoke against it because the ConSBlate «t Of 3piin as b^ng a bru^H* tloo^y powei-, against .winch tlie (Jnbaus, revolted, b6ing rapported therein by the^mpatbies of ttiepeople ^tbe 'tlblteii S»^.,, *rh^ struggle in Cuba had lasted taree years, aod:^s almost uinparallbl«d.'.

He had a list of peaceful American citizens who had been shot iu cold^blood iu Cuba, and niueteen who ai^ languishing in Cubaii prisons, and others whose property was,confiscated aud the American name and authority had been treated with supreme contempt. He referred to the execution of the studeutsahd to the 'last decree of Valmaseda,: which lie said was oiie of extermination. Even poor, disordered Mexico had acknowledged the belligerent rights of the Cubans, while this country, with all its boasted power, while dogs of war were rendiug. the flesh and crushing the bones of 'their victims, was Silent. It was a sad, a fnis-t erable spectacle, a most pitiable spectacle, and what made it still worse was that within three mouths after the first gun was tired on Fort Sumter Spaiu had reCognized the belligerent rights of the Southern Confederacy.

Mr. Garfield hoped that the House would be very slow tp.tahe any measure in regard to Cuba, to Spain, to Great Britain, or to any other nation with which we are now at peace, to harrass and create and deepen the angry feeliugs \y~hich already existed.

Mr. Banks said he did not anticipate any difficulty with Great Britain or with Spain, but he believed that the best way to secure peace was by the assertion of our rights and preparation to. defend them. He had listened to the geutleman from Indiana (Mr. Voorb'ees) with great pleasure, and he heartily concurred with most of his views, but if the House wanted to break off our relations with Spain, it should strike at our Minister in Spain add Consul in Cuba.
