11" CONGRESS is in earnest in its talk about economy and the necessity of curtailing governmental expenses, lei it pass the biii abulishin^sthe franking privilege. Let the henorable Senators and Representatives show to the, people that they arc willing to sacrifice something themselves, to give up at least one of their perquisites, at a time when all are required to bear heavy burdens.
THE Cincinnati Chronicle thinks it "highly probable that Mr. ASHLEY'S political career, as a Republican, is at an end. Whether he may succeed in commanding the confidence of the Democracy of Montana, whose favor he has been courting, and so "still have a stake," we will not run the hazard of predicting. He naturally belongs with that party, we should say, and can very readily adapt himself to the demands of that wing of the party, especially, which covets success through a new departure."
THE New York Herald has become the great reforming organ of the age. In a late issue it modestly remarks: "Like Father Ilvacinthc, in his broad, world-embracing Catholic views of the enduring and expansive principles of Christianity, it is our purpose in our Sunday editorial lessons to our readers to cultivate the grand idea ol the tendency of the material and moral forces of the age to a fusion of all creeds, all colors and all nations under one general system."
Whereupon a Boston journal remarks that "when the New York Herald occupies a position where the Christian will look to it for guidance and counsel, we may hope that MwHi.sToriin.Ks will be comfortably settlpd over some nourishing Methodist Church."
THE saloon-keepers of Leavenworth, Kansas, in order to obtain some respite from the arduous duties incident to their profession, have determined to close their places of business at half past ten on Sun day morning, opening again from one to two and from five to seven. They mutuallyagree that "no drinks shall be compounded during the hours of suspension, except in cases of absolute, sudden and unpremeditated thirst, and even then only when the extreme necessity of the case will not permit of delay until the time of opening the saloon." A cotemporary is apprehensive that the saving clause, which would relieve the victims of "unpremeditated thirst," will render inoperative a resolution whose object is to grant sonic respite to the professors of the noble art of "mixed drinks." ———<>———
A L'EW DAYS ago the Methodist Episcopal Convention, meeting in Boston, passed a series of resolutions, which ex press great dissatisfaction with the late report of the committee appointed to investigate the alleged irregularities in the Methodist Rook Concern of New York. Our readers will remember that the re port of the committee, while admitting ''serious losses" in certain departments of the Rook Concern, found nobody to blame. It was one of those ro-ewater reports that, while it cleared nobody, convicted nobody. It neither proved nor unproved anything It will be found, we think, that the Methodists throughout the country will agree verv harmoniously with the sen iinents of the Roston Conventioni.-.ts, and, like them, demand that the entire facts, di closed on the investigation, be made the property of the entire Church.
THE financial condition ot tl.e country is the absorbing question of the present session of Congress, if we may judge from the number of bills introduced on the subject. Mr. MOUKKI.L has introduced a bill for free banking and a new loan, which shall be substituted for the old ones, at four or four-and-a-half per cent. Mr. lxCiEiisoi.l. has introduced bills for free banking, to prevent the sale of gold by the Government, and for an expansion of the currency of forty-four millions in legal tenders andMr.SfMXi.it has brought a bill before the Senate for free banking, with a clause limiting the expansion of the currency to fifty millions per year The prevailing idea in all these bills is that of a free banking system, and the scheme is not only a popular one in Congress, but throughout the entire country, and the success of it is almost certain during the present session. Mr. ROITWELL'S suggestion of a contraction of two millions per month will not meet with many supporters, for business is everywhere in need of more currency.
Mil. FITCH, of the House postal Committee, has given publicity to some calculations made by him as to the extent to which the franking privilege i« used. Of the printing .ordered bv the Fortieth Coivgress he estimates that each member of the House and Senate had 3150 pounds of the Agricultural reports, 081 pounds of -..the Patent Office reports, and 1154 pounds of the Congressional Ohtbe.. Including smaller items, each member had over four tons in weight to send out to the people under frank, an aggregate for both
Houses, of three hundred members, of about 1250 tones. Were postage paid on all beoks at regular rate-, it would east six hundred and fifty-three dollars for each member, estimating at liberal rates other postal matter, including speeches made in Congress and the business of people pertaining to legislation and to the various departments. It is believed that were full postage paid on every letter and document sent, it could not reach one thousand dollars per capita, nndpossibly not over six hundred dollars or a total of from one hundred and eighty thou
sand
dollars to three hundred thousand
fl611ars per annum
for.Senatorsand memI

Rev. TJIKODOUK L. CvYf.EIT, who writes that he ha. "made too many speeche3 with XICAL D.nv before Legislatures and Synods, tkc., in behalf of prohibitory legislation" for any one to give him new views on thai topic, says: "A genuine prohibitory law is hard to get and hard to keep. If it actually shuts up the tippling house then lie trinity of avarice, appe ite and fashion are arrayed against it with venomous vehemence. If it is a ead letter, then the law is hardly worth the paper it is p-in ed on. And a law for suppressing the liquor traffic always will be a dead letter in every comm mity wh re there is not a powerful and ac ive public sentiment again rum-selling. Such '.suppression' of grog-selling as Roston ha seen for the last three months is enough to make the Devel laugh."
lTwihi.be remembered that the Ex. PRESS earnestly protested against the appoin'ment of ASHLEY to the Governship of Moiranu. His retirement from that position is, therefore, a cause of gratification to us, and this sentiment derives additional force from the fact that his successor is, in all respects,a worthy man: Gen. BENJAMIN F. I'OTTS is a native of Carroll county, Ohio, and 33 years of age on the 29th of January last. In 185(5, then but twenty years old, he took an active part in politics, as a Democra*. In 1857 he commenced the study ot lie law, and began his practice at Carrollion. He was a delegate to both the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions of'60, where he supported DOUGLAS. At the commencement of the Rebellion he raised a company for the 3!5d Ohio Regiment, of which he was chosen Captain. 11 is war record is specially brilliant, he having served with distinction in many of the most prominent battles of Western irginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and North and South Carolina. lie participated in the battles near Atlanta on the 20th, 21stj 22d and 2Sth of July, '64. Gen. GII.ES

meeting, one of the best and longest speeches of that memorable canvass. This address, which occupied three hours, was ("taken" by an expert phonographic reporter and printed, full, in the Cincinnati Commercial. -i
Colonel Trafalgar—who had repeated his one, set speech scores of time*, until the very sound of his own voice, repeating day after day and week after weekj the same stale .\tories, nauseated himself and failed to elicit applause from his hearers—.was ordered by tlie State Central Committee to move on Calfsburg, at short notice, and address a mass convention of his Republican fellow-pitizens.— This order came just as the grandiloquent and coruscating Colonel Trafalgar had been compelled to decide that his speech was utterly used up and must, at all hazards, be abandoned. Here was a «'iix" that might have been "too many" for any one but a man of expedients: Ordered to speak at Calfsburg crowds of patriots longing to hear him, and he having nothing on hand, in the way of a speech, that would bear further use! But, as we have intimated, Col. Trafalgar was a man of expedien s. An emergency that would have completely floored an orator of different calibre was just the signal for his genius to assert itself. I must honor that requisition for a speech' —he said to himself—"and having no material of my own, I must steal something." "There is that three-hours talk of old Colonel Ilardsen-e and, by the way, it has more hard sense in it than all the liarrangues that have been made in this State for ten years." "I'll just steal the first hour of that commit it to memory while on rav way to Calfsburg, deliver it in my inimitable style to the patriots and be applauded to the echo." W ith a copy of the Commercial containing the object of the proposed .literary piracy in his pocket, Col. Trafalgar enters the cars. He takes a seat in a retired corhc'r, puts the paper before him and enters upon his task with more zeal and energy than were ever displayed by the most ambitious pupil in memorizing the multiplication table. For eight hours, interrupted only by two changes of cars, Col. Trafalgar bends the stupendous energies of his giant intellect to the work in hand, and just before the conductor calls out "Calfsburg" the Colonel puts the paper in his pocket, slaps his leg and complacently remarks to his admiring self, "It's done." "I've got the first hour of that speech at my tongue's end." "Could beat old Hardsense himself delivering it."
At Calfsburg station a committee waited on Colonel Trafalgar to escort him to the grove where the meeting was then in full blast, one of the committee informing him that he had been expected by an earlier train, and not coming to time, Colonel Richard De Soulc had taken the stand to occupy an hour. "Perfectly satisfactory, gentlemen my friend Col. De Soulc makes a splendid speech," remarked Col. Trafalgar as he rode towards the grove.
He was soon upon the stand shaking hands, in his princely way, with the dignitaries of the town. This done lie sat down to await his turn to orate. This part of the narrative, let us give in his own words: "As I took my seat," said he, "mv car caught some of the words that De Soule was vociferating with telling efleet." "I started, then listened a moment attentively, and how do you think I must have felt, sir imagine my feelings if you can, sir, when I found that d—d scamp, De Soulc, was sailing in on the first hour, MY HOUR, of old Col. Hardscnse's speech?"
For the first time in his life, Trafalgar was nonplussed. He sat bolt upright, petrified with astonishment, scarcely moving a muscle, until De Soule came to the end of that "hour" and closed, amid thunders of applause, with one of Col. Ilardsense's most handsomely rounded periods. Then the President announced: "The distinguished Col. Trafalgar, one of the most eloquent orators of modem times, will now address you." Cheers rent the air as "one of the most eloquent orators" &c., stepped forward, and rallying his benumbed senses to meet the crisis, repeated for the 79th time, that old,condemned and discarded specch.

Mr. "Wilson offered a resolution, which was adopted, instructing the Committee. on the District of Columbia to examine the administration ofSchool Commissioners and the condition of the public schools of Washington and Georgetown.
Mr. Spencer submitted a reselution requesting the Secretary of tha Treasury to communicate to the Senate a statement of the original cost of the revenue cutters now employed, and information in regard to the number and compensation &c. of officers and men in that service.
Mr. Warren introduced a bill for a more equal distribution of national banking capital,providing the amount of circulation notes to be issued to banking associations shall not exceed $345,000,000, and in issuing said circulation notes preference shall be given to banking associations in sections having the least national bank circulation that theSecrctary of the Treasury is required to retire aud cancel United States three per cent, certificates to the extent of issue of bank notes under this act, and shall cease to pay interest on three per cent certificates of the United States. The bill was referred to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Sumner moved to take up the bill relative to telegraph communication between the United States and foreign coun tries. He urged that prompt action was very important. Discussion ensued concerning the propriety of giving priority to this measure over others deemed by other Senators equally in^ortant.
Mr. Ramsey moved to proceed to consideration of executive business, which wai agreed to, and at 12:35 the doors were closed for executive session.
HOUSE.
Reading the journal was dispensed with that debate on the Georgia reconstruction bill might be continued.
Several members obtained leave .to print speeches on the subject. ., Mr. Potter argued against the bill.
Mr. Voorlieea followed on the same side. He made an argument against the bill, the introduction of which lie ascribed to the President. Georgia was a State, and as such the Federal government had now seen proper to prescribe how she shall organize her Legislature.
Mr. Eldridge opposed the bill. He asserted the House had almost ceased to be a deliberative body, and its action was dictated by partizans of the Republican party. He predicted that unless the States by every constitutional means resisted the encroachments of Congress, the liberties of the people would be destroyed and Republican government would be a mere sham and delusion.
Mr. Cox was the next speaker on the, same side. He denounced the bill as the gospel of anarchy and the philosophy of revolution. When he found the Governor of a State hanging aroun.d the halls of Congress, begging to have his State taken out of ihe union, it led him to inquire the reason, and he found the reason in the letter read yesterday from the State Treasurer, charging Governor Bullock with speculations. For himself he would bring that bullock to the slaughter then being the State of Georgia.
Mr. Bingham said the bill sent to the House by the Senate is in conflict with every letter of the past legislation of Congress on the subject of reconstruction. It is in conflict with the express order of the President when he was General of the army, acting under the law of reconstruction in 1868 in relation to Georgia. It is in conflict with the utterances of the Attorney General in reference to Virginia under the operation of all reconstruction acts. It is in conflict with all the past legislation and of interpretation of the Constitution.
For these reasons I ask the bill be postponed till the third Wednesday in January. If there be truth in what I have said the majority in the House should postpone it. Here we are limited to twenty minutes discussion, cut oft from reference of record, asked to decidc a question bv passion which ought to be decided in the light of calm reason and under obligations of an oath. The gentleman from Massachusetts said yesterday that these frequent murders in Georgia, for these denials of right to the people of Georgia, there ought to be a remedy in Congress. I agree with him, but this is the bill, before us. It affords no additional protection to any man, white or black. It is simplv gratuitous, to make an appeal of that Court to the House, and it is equallv gratuitous to attempt to bring to the support of this measure the recommendation of the President. I happen to know, and therefore say, there is a single line in the President's message which lie never intended to be there, and which he does not stand by to-day. That is the line which refers to the imposition of the oath enjoined by reconstruction acts on members of the Legislature. The whole contents of tlie messoge show that what he meant was the imposition of the oath required by section 14. I wish to say further that the reconstruction act of the second ol March, 1867, which underlies this entire legislation, enjoins also the oath of qualification required by the third section of the 14th amendment.
Commenting on the section'whi^h allows the army and navy to be placed in control of the Government, Mr. Bing'-am said the law is not orthv a mo.1 :iit's consideration in the House. J." or' 110 matter what party may say, I stanu '.ere to say I shall record my yote against it. It does not become the representatives of the people to be dragooned in any such manner into legislation, touching not merely the rights of the people of Georgia, but the rights of all the peopleof the Republic. I deny the right of Congress to lay by executive power, a national law at the feet of a State Executive to be exercised at his discretion. Congress is bound to execute its own laws through its own ofcials. No matter what the pressure of party may be, I cannot consent to stultifv myself. As to the ratification of the Fifttenth Amendment, Mr. Bingham declared nothing which human ingenuity could contrive was so likely as this bill to defeat that great and just and righteous measure. In conclusion, he moved further postponement of the bill to the third Wednesday in January.
Mr. Farnsworth opposed the bill. He felt constrained to support the motion of the gentleman from Ohio, and in case it failed, would vote against the bill. lie stated his grounds of opposition.
Mr. Paine supported the bill, and had some reports and letters read showing the necessity for such measure.
Mr. Whittemore spoke ten minutes in support of the bill. .ilr. Logan intimated a difficulty that might present itself if the bill was postponed, and the Legislature of Georgia wet again in session. He did not recognize that those not enti led to seais could be displaced.
Mr. Butler, of Mass., closed the debate. He deplored thc objection of the gentleman from Ohio, (Bingham,) and intimated he seemed to have caught infection from (he neighborhood he occupied, alluding to the fact that Bingham sits on thr Democratic side of the House. ITe replied briefly to arguments made against the bill to-day, and in reply to Mr. Cox, said lie regarded that gentleman as rather encroaching on that old proverb, "dog should not eat dog," so a carpet-bag-ger should not attack a carpet-bagger. (Laughter.)
He was also surprised that a man with a name so liable to be punned on should have made such a bad joke on the name of the Governor of Georgia. [Laughter.J
As to the statement that this bill fou its origin in the recommendation of the President, contradiction lay in the fact that the bill which he, (Butler) brougb., before the House last April, was substantially the same. The effect ot postponement of the bill would be, when the Governor and those who had been recommending this legislation returned to Georgia, they would be sent to join the ranks of murdered Legislatures.
As to Mr. Bingham'6 argument for postponement, he thought it suicide if the bill were so bad, so utterly vile as to be. unworthy of a place in the House of Representatives, why keep it alive to the third Wednesday in January? Why not ro! it down at once? He expressed himself much pained at hearing the gentlemen from Ohio say there was a line in the message of the President which he never intended should be there, and he, (Bingham) knew it.

When the Present communicated with members of Congress as private gentlemen, neither of them should repeat the conversation,' but if the President undertakes tr •"log-roll"—
Mr. Bingfaxm—I call the gentleman to order- He lias no right to talk of the President log rolling, and I said nothing to justify it, and stand on what I said, and the gentleman from Massachusetts has no power to move me in the assertion which I make, that the President of the United States .never meant to recommend to Congress that it should impose on Georgia the test oath in the reconstruction acts.
MT. HuOcr.—-There was no occasion to call me to order. I do iot believe President Grant unBc#took to communicate to the House in'ihnt'ivay.
Mr. Bingham—Nobody said he com Tiiunicated to the Souse. Mr. Butlct—t do r.ot desire men to come here as they did last session, that -was that t'bs President wished this or that. I 'wly referred to this that he may not kav« nny more. I regard these as the nwsi indecent exhibitions of Executive influence that ever disgraced Congress, not from the Executive, but from those who pretend to give his words.
Debate being closed the House proceeded to vote on Mr. Bingham's motion to ixistpone, which was rejected, 54 to 111 The Republicans voting for it were Messrs. Bingham, Farnsworth and Finkelburg.
The amendment of Mr. Beck was rejected, and the bill passed, yeas 121, nays 51. Among the negatives were Messrs. Bingham and Farnsworth.

The Three Remedies. "SCHENCK'S FITI.MONIC SYKIT" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Consumption. The peculiar action of this mcdieino ripens the ulcers in the lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by expectoration. Purifies the blind. and thus cures Consumption, when every other remedy fails. "Schonck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, nnd all diseases arising film debility. This tonic invigorates the digestive organs, supplies the place of the gastric juiccwhcn thnt-is deficient, and then* enables the patient to digest the ino.-t nutritious food. It is a sovereign remedy for all cases of indigestion. "Scbenck's Mandrake Pills." one of the most valuable medicines ever discovered, being a vegetable substitute for calomel, and having all tho useful properties ascribed to that mineral, without producing any of its injurion* effects.
To these three medicines Dr. J. II. Schcnek of Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges it, and purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstruction? therefrom, give the organ a healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,which is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates tho powers of the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion nnd bringing it to a normal nnd healthy condition improves the quality of the blood, by which means the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs becomes impossible. The combined action of these .medicines, as tbns explained, will cure every enseof Consumption, if the remedies are used in time and the use of them is persevered in sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable termination.

ARKGULAB GRADUATE OF MKDICINE, as Diploma nt. officc will show, has been longer engaged in the treatment of Ycncreral Seytial and Privaee Diseases than any other Physician in St. Louis.
Pyphillis, Gonorrhea, Gleet. Stricture, Orchitis. llernis nnd Rupture, all Uninnry disease?. Syphilitic or Mercurial Affcctions of the Throat, Skin or Bones, arc treated with unparalleled MICCCSS.
Spermatorrhea, Sexual Debility and Impotcncy, as the result of self-abuse in youth, sexual excess in matureyearsorothercauses, and which produce some of the following effects. as Nocturnal Emissions. Blotches, Debility. Dizziness, Dimncs of sight. Confusion of Ideas, Dvil Forbodings, Aversion to Society of Females, Loss of Memory and Sexual wer.and rendering Marriage improper, are permanently cured.
The Doctor's opportunities in hospital nnd private practice are unsurpassed in St. Louis or or any other city. Back files of St. Louis papers prove that he has been located there longer by years than any other so advertising. The establishment, library. Iabrntory nnd appointment." are unrivalled in the West, unrivalled anywhere. Ago. with ex periencej can be relied upon, and the Doeto, can refer to many physicians throughout tho country. In past success nnd jirescnt posiion lie stands without a competitor. THE WRITINGS OF A PHYSICIAN WHOSE
REPUTATION IS UNION-WIDE, ARE WORTH BEADING. Doctor Whittier publishes a Medical Pampliet relating to cncrcal Diseases and the disastrous and varied consequences ol selfabuse. that will be sent to any address in a sealed envelope for two stamps. It contains full symptom lists that will enable those affected to determine the nature of their complaint and given written statement of their case that will answer almost as well for the purpose of treatment as a personal interview: but where it is convenient tho Doctor should bo consulted personally. Those having friends that may require advice, can supply them with this valuable work sonding their address, with stamp. Thus you can assist the unfortunates without their knowing their bcncfactor. Certainly nosub ject is of more importance than purity of blood and perfect manhood.
Tt is self-evident that a physician whd eonfine.® ^himself exclusively to the study of a certain das': of disease* and treats thousands of C!I»es every year, must acquire greater skill in that specialty than only general practicc. Many physicinns, recognizing this fact, introduce patients to tho Doctor after reading his Medical Pamphlet. Communications confidential. A friendly talk will cost you nothing.
