TERRIBLE The first law passed by Congress, wt a bi2j introduced by John Wentworth, of Chicago, to prevent the- importation of foreiga" cattle to this ebTjntr'This ia to lave the stock of America from the terrible disease that' is destroying so many cattle in England and Fran 05-Mr. Wentwoith has introduced into Congress, a bill providing for the payment to Mrs. Lincoln, of the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, that being the amount of salary her husband would have been entitled to, had he lived to the end of his term.

It has been justly' said that there is no precedent foe such a bill as this but then, we mast remember, that Mr. Lincoln conducted the country through an unprecedented crisis, and was cruelly murdered in an unprecedented manner, solely because of his patriotic desire to serve his country. We think it doubtful, however, whether Mrs. Lincoln will be allowed more than one year's salary, or twenty-five thousand dollars.

Mr. Moulton, of this State, has intro duced into the House, a resolution cal ling upon the President for information as to 1 the reason why Jen.

Davis has not been brought to trial for treason. The House voted down a resolution offered by Mr. Thorn toD, a Copperhead from this State, that the regulation of the elective franchise belonged exclusively to States. On Monday, Mr. Stevens, of made a speech on the subject of reconstruction, arguing that the late rebel lious States must come back into the Union as new States, or remain as conquered provinces.

The whole subject was in the power of Congress. U. S. TaKAStnEtT. The treasury re ortof Secretary McCollouch is regarded with favor by the country at large.

He takes up every topic which concerns our financial and handles each in such a manner as to make it clear to the commonest mind. He sayji the country must get back to a specie basis and stop there wilKbe a collapse at no distant day. Consequently the present enormous amount of currency must be contracted. He opposes the taxing of government securities, and a reduction in the number of articles now taxed for rev enue. He opposes ahy reciprocity treaty with Canada, and shows at length how by the devotion of $200,000,000 annually to that purpose, the entire national debt (calling it in round numbers may be paid upcompletely in about thirty years.

The above are the principal points of the report, except the fig ures of the debt, which do not differ from those we have lately The Amendment. Several of the late rebel States have ratified the Anti-Slav-erv Constitutional Amendment. The question now is, will the votes of these States, although they have not yet been recognized as in their proper sphere in the Union be numbered as legal votes in the adoption of the Amendment 1 Or, if the action of the unreconstructed States are deemed of no effect, was not the ratifica tion by three-fourths of the States proper ly in the Union, sufficient to make it the law of the land? The position is, we thick, justly assumed by the Chicago Re publican, ''that the Amendment to tne Constitution abolishing slavery was con stitutionally submitted to those States having legislatures competent to act." larensjo Correspondence. Markngo, Dec 18, 1865. Editob Sjbktikkl A week has passed without any event.

worthy of note in our place. Things go on about as usual, unless it is "a little more so." The news of the week, the President's message, and the latest fashions, have all been read, lauded and criticised. We were visited last week by a snap of cold weather, which reminded us that winter was upon us, although accompanied by no snow. We are also apprised of the fact, that Christmas is close at hand, a day that the children, and even those of a larger growth, look forward to wit'i eager interest. There is hardly a child, high or low, rieh or poor, but what has a stocking to suspend somewhere, in anticipation that Santa Claus will fill it to the brim before morning.

This is right let their little hearts be made glad, it will help them to love home and its enjoyments in aiter'years. But, while remembering our own friends in tokens of love, we should not be unmindful of those who are unable to gratify their children with these luxuries. It is fit and proper that this day should be signalized by acts of charity. We should make it an occasion of good deeds to the poor, the unfortunate and the wretched a day of forgiveness to our enemies, and charity to all the world As this will be the last communication before the festal day, we will take this opportunity to wish our friends and the many readers of the Sbittotxl, a "Merry Christmas." Akojt. The French Ambaisadtr.

It is reported that the French Ambassador accredited to Washington has-gone to New York, with the intention of not returning to his post until he receives satisfactory explanations of the resolutions passed by Congress in i egard to Mexico. We are reluctant to credit this story, since nothing could be more at variance With an ambassador's duty than to desert his post without the authorization of hi? Government, upon the assumption of a alight involved in the expression of opinion by a popular assembly. It would be unfair to the Marquis de Montholon to suppose that, although but recently Napoleon's accredited agent to the unrecognizable Mexican empire, he is less versed in the duties of his position than his distinguished colleagues of the diplomatic corp3 at Washington. Nor is it at all likely -that the mere reiteration by Congress of sentiments which they have already expressed, and of the existence of which Napoleoa has been made aware from the very outset of his ill-judged expedition, would give occasion for new complications. Indeed, the ooooiliatory spirit in which the appointment of a new American Mih: ister to President Juarez has been received by the official organs of the Emperor, leads us rather to suppose that his Majesty, far from, being; over-anxious to1 interpret the opposition in the UnitedStates to the violent, overthrow of an American republic in a sense hostile to the French nation, is, cu the contrary, prompting; the leading journalists -of the second empire to explain matters away with alt Vis char acteristie plausibility, as at -one t3 soothe, the wounds of Napoleonic pride" and to prevent the explosion of republican ex asperaties.

The Hon. John Wentworth is endeavoring to secure the location of an assay effice at Chicago. Senator: Doolittle of Wisconsin is being urged for the vacancy in the U. S. Supreme Court.

Over 20,000 applications for clerical appointments are on file in the departments at Washington. Governor Worth of North Carolina took the oath of office on the 15 th, and delivered a short address, claiming that the people of that State desired the restoration of the Union. The Virginia Legislature has adopted a resolution recommending the pardon of Jeff Davis and other the restoration of the privilege of the writ of kabeat corpus. Mr. Jenkins was inaugurated, on the 14th as Governor of Georgia.

In his address on the occasion he said that the freedmen must be thoroughly protected in their personal property, and have the right to enter the courts. The Free Masons of Massachusetts having chartered a lodge of colored Ma sons at Newborn, N. white. Masons are very much exercised about the matter, and striving in vain to suppress them. It will not be done, however, while our troops are there.

Ex-Gov. Barstow of Wisconsin died at Leavenworth, Kansas, on the 16th of consumption. At one time he exercised a very large influence in Wisconsin, but that influence was very much impaired by his efforts to hold the Governor's chair under a system of supplementary election returns, which destroyed his own power and that of his party. Com for failing to do his utmost to capture or destroy the rebel pirate Stonewall, was found guilty, and sentenced to be suspended from duty, on half pay, for a term of years. The Secretary of the Navy regards the sentence as in contravention of law, the accused being sentenced, but only, a nominal punishment being inflicted upon him, and has set aside the proceedings of the court, and relieved Commodore Craven from arrest.

The French officers at Matamoraa expect a war between France and the United States, and have, in anticipation of such an occurrence, mapped out a plan of campaign. They believe that an American force will suddenly be thrown across the Rio Grande, in which event the Imperialists will abandon Matamoras and tall back upon Monterey, which they will attempt to hold. Two additional Fenian Senators have arrived in New York, and sided with O'Mahony. The European steamship City of Boston brought out a Fenian delegation to the Circles at Chicago, Buffalo, and St. Louis.

The steamer was overhauled by a British cruiser, and searched but the searchers made no discoveries. O'Mahony is reported to be getting up a new military department, the old one having sided With the Senate. As the cholera did not appear at Florence, King Emanuel went to Naples to meet it, and passed fearless through the infected wards of the hospitals, speaking comfort to the sufferers. His presence had a very cheering effect upon the who received him with bonfires, processions and illuminations. The French Princess Auvergne, who accompanied hira, was smitten, and for a short time her case was considered hopeless, but she finally recovered.

A Farmers Mass Convention on the transit question was held at Bloomington, on the 13ib. The Hon. Arthur Bryant of Bureau county, was President; W. Perkins of Ottawa, Vice President: and J. T.

This delightfully loyal State, thia land of chivalry and niggers, has again showed its wisdom, its humanity, and its patriotism. Although it was known that the requisite number of States, whether the late rebel States were included or not, had adopted the Anti-slavery Constitutional Amendment, and that a human chattel could no longer exist on American soil, the legislature has voted to adhere to its rejection of the amendment, and therefore Kentucky, in violation of the Bpirit of the age, and of its own prosperity, passes down to history as opposed to the eradication of the nation's disgrace. The slaveholders of this State also indicted General Palmer for aiding and abetting slaves to escape. General Palmer plead his own case most successfully.

During the trial, news came that Alabama had ratified the Amendment, making twenty-seven States, two-thirds of the thirty-three, and thus making the Amendment binding. Gen. Palmer announced this in a general order, and the judge, before whom the case was tried, decided that the Amendment being adopted, slavery had no legal existence in Kentucky, and therefore" Gen. Palmer, in aiding slaves to leave Kentucky, had violated no statute recognised by Constitution. So the gallant General was released, and the Kentuoky slave oligarchy again defeated.
