Whilo it may lie gratifying to know that John Shermnn was defeated. it is lamentable to witness this ud-lUunuil evidence of thu iiicroiising strength of thn Blank Republican party. Banks was alee ted four years ago hy a plurality vote. Poll* itiugton now hy a majority. No injury to cmv interests w.\* tlm immodinto re sult of the election of the former, and wo have not much fear that any attack upon our rights will grow directly out of tlmeleotion of the latter. Tho lead en of the Black Republican party arc too sag.icioiM to attempt to carry out at once, tho more obnoxious of their avowed designs. They are prudently waiting until they shall bocoino possess ed of every department of tho Govern* incut, he loro they begin ft general on slaught upon our institution!. They now control the House.' Next fail they will elect their candidate for tho Presi dency—-as soon as tho terms of tho Northern Senators of other parties ex pire, their places will be supplied by Black Republicans—the Supremo Court will lie remodelled, and tho South redu- eed to a state of most degrading vassal- ago.

Mr. Shermnn. of Ohio, who has thus far refrained from speaking with n special view to ultimately becoming Speaker, said that Mr. Houston, of Ala bama, had been indulging in pleasant- vies at 11 is ex lien sc. Mr. Houston had called him ii burning, withering curse and shame, and Imd otherwise jocular* ly ex pressed himself. He desired to know if the gentleman from Aluhutnn had intended to stigmatize him as a per sonal withering curse and shame, ot merely as a political one. Mr. Houston, of Alabama, replied that no one Imt a raving and inexpressible idiot could suppose, as tho gentleman from Ohio had done, that any personal application was intended. He simply considered Mr. Sherman a treasonable and infamous character, besides being stingy and not nt all msilly, 'fiut was all. Mr. Sherman »aid every one ought to he sat i died with so noble a disclaimer.— He had never c meealed his opinions, and lie would say to Mr. Houston frank ly, uud with the slncerest regard, when ever occasion demanded, "Yoii’ro an other."

A party of men went t» his dwelling and knocked ftt the door there was no answer nml so they broke in. •body's nob. Then ensued rare pegging and stopping, unexceptionable clinching, feinting and planting of one twos on pimple and in wind.

Having received his elussicnl ami theological training under that able scholar and divine, Dr. Tillotsoii Brownson, he was made hono rary master of arts by Yale Col logo in 1821. He was ordained Deacon in Trinity church, New York, Oct. 20, 1818, by the Right Rev. Bishop Hobart, and began his ministry in tho city of Nor wich, us assistant to the Rev.* John Ty ler, and Missionary to several place* in the neighborhood. On tlm 13th of Jan uary, 1829, lie wa* admitted to the l’riosthood hy the present prosiding Bishop who then for tlm first time con ferred Holy Order*. Mr. Clarke iatior- ed very acceptably at difierent points in the diocese of Connecticut, until Oct. 1838, when he was commissioned Chap lain in the U. 8. Navy. Since that time he has been occupied with the du ties assigned him hy the Navy Depart ment. Uf late, though seeming to oth ers in the enjoyment of his usual health he felt himself affected hy a hidden dis ease, and while careful not to alarm his family, was calmly setting his hnuso in order, for whatever might betido. In May, 1859,ou reporting for duty, under orders for a crui-'e to China and Japan, he was found physically unequal to the labors of the station, and accordingly roturned homo to await in humble resig nation the tinfolding of His will "who doetli all things well." During the in terval, lii* bodily power* have been fail ing, while his spirit seems to have steadi ly increased in purity and brightness. And on the morning of New Year’* D.iy, just as the first rays of the sun en tered his chamber, lie fell asleep in Jesus, and his freed houI began to on- joy, us wo reverently trust, an endless year of happiness in the Puradiso of God.

Mr. ILiskiti explained that he Imd never before used a pistol, except in an honorable way, and he trusted that this single failure to put it to the legitimate use would not be visited too harshly up on him. Mr. Clark begged to say that h« had accidentally been discourteous. Ho wished to'add, that in using the lan guage lie did to hi*colleague, he meant that lie would fight hint for the political ni\d not for the personal beer.
