Through tho politeness of the latter firm,
we are placed in possession of the above work,
which is a handsome •. octavo of sonic <>00
pages, elegantly printed, and illustrated
with numerous charts and cuts. It is one ol
those books, which one cannot well commence
without rending to the conclusion. Tho ad
ventures, though real, partake greatly ol the
nature of- romance. The. geography, the
scenery, the natural phenomena and the in
habitants of tho Arctic regions, have been
objects of more than nsual interest for the
last twenty years, and the labors of each bold
navigator, who lias pushed his explorations
to that region of long days and nights and of
eternal ice, have but whetted the public
appetite for the adventures and discovtrh
to follow. Tho disappearance of Sir John
Franklin first gave impulse to public curiosi
ty and scientific enquiry concerning those
countries and sc as id the vicinity of the North
pole. The naval expedition of Lieut. Harts
tone is well remembered, and there are few
who have not read with instruction and tie-
light the graphic descriptions of Dr. Kane.—
Dr. Hayes was Surgeon to the Kane Expedi
tion, and in ’00 *01 undertookoue on his ow
account, under the auspices of sundry literirv
and scentific associations at tint North, and
we even find many Southern names subscri
bed to his list. The work before us gives
the resnlts of bis voyage, in popular form,
the scientific history having been turned over
to the Government.
Without catering upon any extended criti
eiun, wo would eay that we have, read the
work of Dr. Hayes with real pleasure.' It is
written in an easy, graceful and perspicuous
stylo, ami is replete with interesting facts and
narratives. Some of the incidents related
Lave the appCa-anco of the marvellous, but
we have no reason to denbt the fidelity of
bis statements; The work is illustrated with
numerous maps, which enable the r.atkr to
follow the bold, navigator without difiiculty
through all his mcanderings oti land, ice and
water. It is a valuable contribution to the
more solid literature of the day, and though
It is a bad time for the success of books, it
will doubtless command ’ its full share of
Anders. \* •/
As a specimen of the style of the author,
and of his many interesting descriptions, we
annex a paragraph or two from pages 14 and
35, in which he draws a picture of r, mid
night scene in' the month of August, eff/tho
coast of Greenland. The first is a note taken
from his diary, on which he enlarges:
“Midnight.—I have just cbme below, lost
in the wondrous beauty of the night. The
sea is smooth as glass; note ripple brettksits
dead surface, not a breath of air is stirring.
The sun hangs close upon the northern hori-
xon ; the log has broken up into light clouds;
the iceberg* lie thick about us; tbs flntk
headlands stand boldlfrout against the sky; .
and the clones and sea and bergs' tjn i moun
tains are bathed in nn atmosphere of crimson
aii'J^gold and purple rndst singularly benuti-
•Xn all my former experience in this region
of startling novelties, I had never seen any
thing to equal what I bad witnessed that
night. The air was warm almost ns a sum
mer’s night at home, and yet there were the
icebergs and the bleak mountains, with
which the lancy, in this land of green hills
and waiving forests, can associate nothing hut
cold rt-pulsiveness. The sky was bright and
soft and strangely inspiring as the skies of
Italy. The bergs ln.d wholly lost tlieirchilly
aspect, and, glittering, in the blaze ot tlie
heavens, seemed; in the distance, like masses
of burnished metal or solid flame. Nearernt
hand they were blocks of Parian marble,
inlaid with mammoth gems of pearl and opal.
One in particular exhibited the perfection or'
the grand. Its form was not unlike that of
the Coliseujn, imd it lay so far away that half
its height was buried beneath' the line of
blood-red waters. The sun, slowly roiling
along the horizon, passed behind it, and it
seemed ns it the old Roman ruir. had sud
denly taken fire.’

TIic \’cfro in the Free States.
The Radicals of tlie free States 'says the
Atlanta Intelligencer, --re exhausting language
and tactics in enforcing free or negro suffrage
on the South, imd, frdm their protestation!
and persistency, an uhintoresttd observer
might think they were impelled fplely by (t
} love of the colored race, and a sincere desire
for their advancement in the scale of social,
moral and political progress. 'Not so,' how
ever, «s is readily seen by u yeferenpe to facts
and figures. In New York, in I860, a vote
Was had on a proposition to permit negro
suffrage without a property qualification, and
the vote stood, yeas 107,303, nays 337,048,..
the majority against .unqualified negro suff
rage being 140,481. In 1804 a like proposi
tion was defeated by a majority of •138,930,
the vote being for the proposition 85,400, and
against it 224,330. ,Iu 1803 a vote was bad
in Illinois on Several propositions relating to
negroes, and there was a majority of 100,587
in favor pf excluding them from the State.—
On the proposition to confer upon negroes
the right of suffrage; the vote stood for tho
proposition, 35,640, and against it 331,820.
Iu October, 1805, a vote was taken in Con
necticut upon, a proposition to so amend the
Constitution of that State as to confor suf
frage upon the negro, and the vote stood for
the amendment, 27,217,and again *t it. 38,480,
there being a majority of .6,272 against negro
suffrage. In the same yeaiye vote was taken
in Wisconsin to extend suffrage to negroes,
and resulted in a majority of 8,825 against
tho extension, the vote being 46,€20 in-favor
of negro suffrage, and 55,454 against it. It
is a curious fact that tho soldier's vote stood
for negro suffrage 320, and again ft. it 1,150.
In September, 1865, a vote was taken -in Col
orado Territory on tho adoption, of a State
Constitution, and on the proposition to strike
out the word “white'’ from the. qualifi&ation
of voters,’the Ayes were 476, ur.d the oops
4,1 Of, showing a majority of 3,7.'!fl. *.-*•>
Thus, wo see, wherever the propositibn to
confer the right of suffrage upon the negrots
baa been submittcd'to the people of the Free
States, it has been defeated—in >omo install*
CCS by tremendous .majorities. This fact is
incontrovertible, and iTtfcsfrate?, more forci
bly than anything else could do, the utter
ir.'incerity and'the hypocrisy ol the Kadical
leaders. Their object is not really the ad
vancement and nmclioratfcrt of the condition
of the tfl -.tVbrbnt Hie op; -cssion. and, if pos
sible, the degradation of tho wi ito people of
tho South.

Houses of CongreM on Wednesday, on the
bill tor ruling the Southern Stafes'by mili
tary power, ^nclndtpg toe ‘passage fif that
measure:
nr the HorsE,
The House, on Wednesday morning, pro
ceeded to the consideration of the bill to pro
vide efficient government for the rebel States.
Mr. Blaine withdrew his motion ta-recode
from disagreement to the Senate amendment,
ami moved the previous question on the mo
tion of Mr. Wilson, of Ohio, to concur with
the Senate amendment, with an amendment
to the 5th sectiqn, as follows: .
Provided, That no person excluded from
the privilege of holding office by said pro
posed amendment to the Constitution of the
United States shall be eligible to election ns
a member of the convention to frame a con
stitution for any of the said rebel States; nor
shall, any such person vote for roeinbcip of
such convention.
Mr. Shellabarger asked Mr. Blaine to with
draw (he previous question to enable hjnt to
offer an amendment,
Mr, Blaine absolutely refused to do so.
Mr. Shellabarger then expressed the hone
that the House would not second the previous
question.
Mr. Banks asked Mr. Wilson to modify his
amendments so as to extend the disqualifica
tion to Voters.
Mr. Blaine objected resolutely to any de
bate being allowed.
The House voted by tellers on seconding
the previous question,’and refused to second
it—72 to 7(1.
Mr. Shellabarger then moved the following
as an amendment totbe amendment—-toeotne
in a new section;
And be it farther enacted, That, until the
people’ of the said relief States shall be. by
law, admitted to representation in the Con
gress of the United States, any civil govern
ments that may exist therein shall be deemed
provisional only, arid shall be, in all respects,
subject to the paramount authority of the
United States at any time to abolish, modify,
control or supersede the same; and in alt
election* to any office under swell provisional
governments all persons shall be entitled to
vote, and none others, who are entitled to
vote hader the'provision's of the 5th section
pf this act; and no person shall be eligible to
any office under such provisional governments
wliowinrfd he disqualified from holding office
under the provisions of the third article of
said constitutional amendment.
The previous plication was then moved and
seebndtid.
Mr. Ross inquired whether it was in order'
move to refer the amendment to a com
mittee to have it condensed and simplified.
The Speaker replied in tlie negative;
Mr. lloyer moved to lay the bill and;
amendments on the table. ,
Negatived without n division.
Tlie question was taken on Mr. Shellabar-
ger’s amendment, and it was adopted—yeas
93, rraya 70.
Tlie question then recurred on agreeing to,
Mr. Wilson’s motion—to concur with the
Senate amendment, with the amendment of
fered by Jlr. Wilson, as that was amended
on the motion of MV. rilicllAbnrger.
The rote-was taken by yeas and nays, and
resulted—yeas 123, nays 46—a strict party'
vote.
Bo the Senate amendment, ns thus modi
fied, was agreed to, and the bill was (at quar
ter past one) sent back to the Senate.
XX THE SENATE.
At 2 p. Ml the clerk ot the Honstf appeared
and announced tire concurrence by the House
in the Senate amendments to the bill to pro
vide for tl>e more efficient government' of the
insurrectionary 'States, With sundry amend
meats thereto.
Mr. Williams moved that the Senate con
cur in the amendments of the House.'
Mr. Sherman advocated concurrence in the
amendments ol the House. The last section
nly re-enacted substantially what was in the
first section, lie did not like the provision
which excluded 10,000 or more rebels from
the ballot.
Mr. Sumner read from a foraier speech of
his in favor of totally disfranchising all re
bels. For the rebels, “back seats.” lie was
glad to see the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sher
man) coming to this stand-point.
Mr, Sherman—God forbid. He would vote
l\>r tins amendment, although lie thought it
Uhwise, because it only excluded these men
from the first election. * He wanted all, both
white and black, to participate in the Gov
ernment.
Mr. Sumner would accept ,4hd MU as it
came from the nouse, because it'was the best
that could lie obtained now, but be wished
it distinctly understood that lie should lib
ways, when opportunity offered, jnsist'on the
true principle of reconstruction' being- ap
plied. •
The discussion was continued by Messrs.
Stewart anil Wilson.
Mr. Johnson—Mr. President. I ImVe felt A
solicitude for tha-condition of the country
consequent upon the exclusion of. those States
from their right of representation in this body
that I want words to express. Tire yimy tlijtt
I have eutertained is that in-tbeir present
condition they are entitled to be represented.
But the Congress of the Uuitqd States baa,
from the termination of the rebellion, to the
present time, taken a different view, and I
have lost all hope of seeing them at nn early
day, it at any stay, with the consent of Con
gress, reinstated -in their original condi
tion. i . .
•Besides the .interest, the vjtal interest,
Which the. people of the South necessarily
have in the present stale of things, the in
terest of the other States is almost as great.
As long ns it continues, more or.less will the
reputation of the country suffer, and. more or
less will the material interests ot the countrv
suffer. I have been ready, therefore, from the
first, to agree to any proposition which I be
lieved would result in bringing the Southern
States back, however much I may be opposed'
to the conditions which tuay be exacted from
them. Nothing can be worse than the state
in which they are now placed—desolation
around them, all rights denied them of a po
litical character, and on the floor of the Sen
ate, to suy nothing of another branch of. the
Government, their character as men has been
aspersed in terms which have caused. me
nothing but the deepest regret.. I think I
know that they are not deserving of such as-
pension. I think I know that the, descend
ants of the men of the South, who, upon so
many occasions,, battled in tlie field for the
honor and glory of the country, and'contrib
uted so much to the success of our civil gov
ernment,cannot, be such men as some of the
members; of Congress have designated them.
I wish them hero in our midst,.to show by.
their presence that in nil particulars, moral,
political, ohristian agd intellectual, they are

citizen, if is that wo should be, and at tire
earliest period,' a people 09 e and indivisible,

alarming the few last years may Imve been,
and however they were calculated to cause
the lovers of constit utional freedom to de

speedily come, when the feelings consequent
upon that effort wiH.lfuvo subsided, and We

imposed on us, and exhibiting to the .world a

The debate was further continued by Messrs
Hendricks, Cowan. Buckalew, Howe and Con-
m«s, after which t ia Senate took a reoess un
til 7 1-3 r. m. .
EVRlCtSO SESSION.
The reconstruction bill was taken up.
Mr. Doolittle offered an amendment to the
House amendmefl'ife, as follows:
Add to the last section the lollotving pro
viso: “Provided, that rotlring in this act
contained shall Is: construed to disfranchise
any persons in ci.het ot the said States lroni
voting or holding office who It a vo received
pardon and amnesty in accordance with tin-
Constitution anti laws.”
Mr. Doolittle took the floor in mppoct ol
his amendment, prefacing with some remarks
on the condition of affairs in the South, arid
a denial of the gtatements made by certain
Radical Senators us to crime and lawlessness
existing there. . _ .
Mr. Sherman sc.id that it theUouiwnmciiq-
■ueiits were too hap>h, the Southern people
had the Democratic parly in the .House, to
thank for it. It was a fact very well known
that, a majority of the Union party were in
favor of, the Senate amendment. A minority
of tho Union .part#, assisted by every Demo
crat, united to defeat the acceptance of. this
pfonnsition in th.’ llww, un*1 Ictt it ojwate
further amenduH V't. with the result now be
fore the Seiwto.
Mr. Hendricks defended the action of tho
Democrats in the House.- Th«v could not
have voted differently without placing them
selves upon the record as in favor of a bill to
which they were opposed in every respect.—
The responsibility lor the bill or its amend
ments'could'not be placed upon the Demo
crats while there was a majority of two-thirds
against them.
Stewart asked Mr. Hendricks if he would
have voted as the Democrats ot tho House
did, had he been in the House when the Sen
ate amendments came heiore flic body.
Mr. Williams w ised a point of. order that
(his allusion to the actiou of the.other-House
was not in order.
Mr. Ilemiricks resumed ids remarks in de
fence of the action of the Democrats of tlje
House, Mr. Williams having waived his
point toperjnit.hita to doso. *■'• .
Mr. On ness did not. cx:ictly understand
jvliat this debate was tibout. H it wjas to'es-
tablish the riptUatioii of the Demoehitic par-
tv it wok wholly. unnecessary.
'•Mr. Cragin;' in support of .the House
amendments, halted if it was not perfectly
proper that mer should be prevented from
partieipatiug ie rebuilding the covenant they
had attempted to destroy.
Mr. Hcndeivm molt the floor at 9:80 afcd

The Senate adjourned at 10:50 P, sr.
Washington, Feb, 22, 1807.
. When the,Rouse adjourned, late, oti tlie
night of the 10th iiisr., withbut having pass
ed, the Sherman Bill as it bad come front the
Senate, all chapces of Us hecon^ng a law, at
tbid session,, except by Reaction of thePres-
i.kiu, Lad vanished. It was of uo cpnsa-
quence, then, wliat the, action of Cdngress on
the 20th, might lie. The objection of Tliad-
eus Stevens, Bqutwell, and; the other Haul
ing Radicals of tho House, against the Sher
man Dill, wak, thaf.it was too lenient towards
the jj.outlu Mr. Siiellabarger, tliefofore^ jtro-
po«:d,,aq. additional section, the effect,of
which will be to disfranchise.nearly all the
citizens Of the SoUtTi; and with this amend
ment tacked to it, the Sherman Billtiriallv-
passed the . House ou the 20tli, by a vote of
125 to 46—a largo vote, 171 memh-rs being
present. The bill, as thus amended, went
back to tlie Senate, and was passed by that
body Into in the .evening of the same day.
It is now in the power cf the President to
enable this infamous measure to become a
law, or to prevent it from becoming’a law.—
To enable it to befcome a* law, all- he lms to
do is to veto it, when l»oth Houses will im-
ipediately piies it oyqr his, veto. To prevent
it front becoming a .law, lie must retain it
during ; the period- that the Constitution
specifics, namely ten days. The only
question for him’to decide, is: Howls he
to dUcffarge best Ills oath of office, and lit! till
hisduty to the country ? It is impossible to
see the least advantage that can be gained by
sending in a veto message. The President's
views upon the subject are well known. It
he has anything new, to advance,, bis regular
message at tho opening of the40tli Congress,
will afford him abundant opportunity. A
veto message would merely afford the Rump
j Congress iu|other opportunity of triumphing
over the IVesklent.-
On the other hand, by retaining the bill,
the President will defeat the wicked plots of
the Radicals, aud bring to nothing their
whole labors during the. present session, it j
may be said that this is only putting off the
evil "day,"''sulci that the 40th Congress will pass
the' bill. That retnais to-lie seen, At all
events, it is clearly the duty ofthe President
to defl-at this bill, and this duly, no doubt,
he will fearlessly perform. Nothing thirt he
,can (lo, in relation to this bill, can exngncrate
the members ef the 40th Congress against
him, or against the South, to-a greater degree
than they already are.
It njay La said that if the President thus
prevents the .passage of this- bill, the 40th
Congress may pass a great deal worse one.
Blit that is impossible. No bill that can be

SriniTUAi.igjx in jthe Patent Office.—
A curious a .-iplicatipu for a patent has been
made by-.a iliew Yorker, lor a process to de-
termire tho falsity or-truth ol spiritualism.
It consists.tif a room dosed.perfectly, so that
all «ir and jigltt are effectually exeUuled, ex
cept air fer breathing, which is admitted
our equals.,' The Very Littles which 'tljay Bight is -Ally admitted by being passed
have waged, 1 * in seeking to destroy the Gov- through a (iark bjue, \elvet or black liquid,
so that the room is perteetly dark to. the un-
accpstomqfj eye, but becomes slightly illunii-
nated when remaining long jn it, tho inventor
asserting .fliat the particles of common light
are uracil tup heavy and solid, qompared with
f^e much firiojr constituents of (he boajes of
spirits; therefore - common u flight passes
through tl: rip, and is not reflected front their
surface ; G>, see spirits at ail. the light must
be iiltcrcd. i The rpoin is to be painted with
spirits of turpentihe, or-any otlier spirits akin
to carbon. , The inventor asserts tint} with
these precu-Ations it may lie possible for the
inmates of.the.room to see spirits, forms or
gliosis, ff'i ghffnjsllie.qse of filtered light
in u closed irqwn for the purpose of divina
tion. The patent was refused, on the ground
that wh?“ a company of persons were for
sometime enclosed in such a rood,-without
sufficient sir to breathe, they will not only
see ghosts but also give up their own.

Buchanan had had three years instead of three
months to rule,-we must have submitted-to be

too great! The admission of .such .a priueipio is
tho first step to despotism. Whoever maintains it
is only the auant eom-ier ol another; Louis Bona

would be too much to expect a courteous re

nature with those which have already been
declined by tho United States. ‘We may
s-.ifely assume,-ho we vhr, that no such blunder

been left for any reasonable modificat ion of

on our part. Upon this assumption we do
not hesitate to express our belief that the
errttrsc adopted by Lord 8ran fey - wfi! he jrw
tilted success, We gro ffr, indeed, frout
supposing that np grudge agitinst this coun

politicians. Yegrs tnay pass before they can
altogether forgive the .sympathy manifested
