On the panage of Mr. Ilendeson's resolu tions declaring treason to be a crime, Mr. Donnelly introduced the following, which was agreed to: Whereas, the republican institutions can find permanent safety only upon the basis of the universal intelligence of the people; and, whereas, the great disasters which have af flicted the nation and desolated one half ot its territory are traceable in a great degree to tbe absence of common schools and general education among the people of the rebellious States.

The Kentucky Legislature indorses President Johnson’s reconstruction policy, favora a gen eral amnesty, and recommends the pardon of Jefferson Davis. In 8L Louis the people of the whole city have been adjudged disloyal, and a few for eigners and Germans, control everything.— German juilges, German Recorder, German Chief of Police, and German lawyers. An instance of the courtesy and efficiency of this newly organized body of public offi cers, will illustrate the whole subject. One day last week, a German policeman walked into the office of a heavy lire insurance com pany, and charged one of the principal offi cers* with having stolen a coat from a private On motion of Mr. Cobb, it was resolved that the Committee on the Judiciary be di rected to inquire whether the act of Congress by which so much of the District of Columbia as Ucs South of the Potomac was ceded to the State of Virginia ia not void, as being in conflict with the provisions of the Constitu tion of the United States, and if so, what legislation ia proper and necessary to enable the government to resume itsjurisdiction over that portion of the said district, to report the bill or otherwise. On motion of 3D. Paine a resolution was referred to the Committee on 3Iititaiy Affairs, that justice demands that in case of any in crease of the standing army within five years from tbe 1st of January, 1886, all new com missions below that of Lieutenant-General, shall be granted to such meritorious and capa ble volunteer officers and soldiers as have not heretofore held commissions in the regular ar my,'Mid that such as have been partially disa bled, and are yet capable of performing the duties necessary in peace or war, be prete; in granting such commissions. When the resolution concerning the papers if the so-called Confederate States was offer ed, 3Ir. Johnson moved to lay it on the table, but the House refused—43 yeas to 105 nays. 3Ir. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, said the rasa lntion was in violation of the constitution and the laws of Congress, which require the oath to be administered to all members elect as they may appear. 3Ir. Smith said it was unfair to introdnee the proposition at this time when both par ties had stricken it from the original resolu tion. After some further discussion of an unimportant character, tho resolution was passed. i An appropriation of $50,000 was voted for furnishing the President’s House. The House decided to adjourn on the Slst, and meet again on the 9th of January. Foreien Seven. The Spanish government, it is reported, re fused to submit its claims against Chili to ar bitration.

The charge was preposterous, but against the protest of a number of gentlemen, the gentleman was handcuffed, dragged through the streets, and when brought before the Recorder’s court there was no charge against him. This was one of a hundred cases of black mail levied by bands of thieves who rule the city nndcr pretense of law—and it is not growing better. Tue Governor or Slissounr.—“Tom’’ Fletcher, is a young fellow whom the Ger mans took up because not being able to elect a German, they chose a man who knew the least possible English. Fletcher is young, un acquainted with anything in regard to the laws and theory of government other than a man would learn by a few months as the clerk of an Inferior County Court, but he could be readily made the supcrscrviceable tool of such men -is Drake. John IL Henderson and the men who have hitherto bclohged to every po litical party, and arc now lrying to rear a throne built of the sculls of th e people, water ed by rivers fed with their blood. This slender apology for a Governor can not be reached by an appeal to history; he knows nothing about history. Tell him of Kosciusko and Tell; he will snppose yon mean some man who keeps a dairy and the officer of the County Bank. Speak to him ol the established usages and precedents of law iu civilized countries and he laughs at your gibberish.

Hurry up, Plu to, and claim to receive the offered thanks. _ JF" A judge in St Louis, recently decided that a man of twenty-one years of age, sup ported by his father, is in the tye of the law a vagrant A Tribute of memory. Died very suddenly on the night of the 28th of November, David Kendall, son of the late Dr. David Kendall, of Bellwood Farm, Upson county, Georgia. Although in his usual health the day preceding his death, and more than ordinarily cheerful, he seemed to have a presentiment that his end was ap proaching, and mentioned to several his fears on the subject, but it was thought to be merely Im aginary. In the night he became violently ill, and calling for an opiate took a small portion, bat not having the desired effect, in two hours he called for another dose, and in a lew moments was quietly slumbering. His friends, not considering him in any danger, then retired, bat alas! they little knew his voice was stilled forever. At daybreak his anxious mother entered his room, and there in the dim morning twilight, found her child sleeping in the ley arms of death. Oh, who conld describe a mother’s feelings on such an occasion! How many fond hopes lay there before her cold and dead! Trials, hitter and severe had long been hers; her pleasant home had ruthlessly been invaded, deep losses sustained, precious relics borne away and earthly hopes one by one all dashed aside, hut these were as nothing when com pared to this new and terrible affliction. There was no comforting thought of kind friends bending over the beloved form to catch his last whispers, for aUflout ;amc the Death An«' midnight darkness and stealthily ushered hbj into eternity! Truly the ways of Providence are full of mystery and “past finding out** David Kendall was educated at Oglethorpe University, and attended Medical lectures in At lanta and Philadelphia. He was gifted with an ex traordinary mind, which he had stored with useful knowledge by his great fondness for literature, and I hare never known one to a&k him a question in History or other branches of learning that he did not folly understand and minutely explain. He acted as asslstantSurgeonof the 29th Battal ion Georgia Cavalry, and we are proud to say was ever a true friend to his country through all of her trials, always openly avowing and nobly defending those principles which guided ns through the late contest for independence. Though of a melan cholic temperament, he was sociable, kind hearted and generous, and found many opportunities in his useful profession for deeds of charity. He had a deep^rcverencc for religion, but wandering fancies led him into the “slough of despond," and becom ing discouraged, like many others in search of the healing fountain, he imagined that no efforts of his own conld obtain for him eternal happiness, though he '.frequently desired the prayers bf his friends and the church. Thus has passed away another member of our broken household, the fond playmate of our childhood, and the counsellor of later years. May this severe dispensation be a timely warning, not only to an afflicted family and numerous friends, bnt to all those who place their brightest hopes on earthly treasures, fair and promising awhile, but alas l how fleeting.
