THI NEW LOAN In offering the new loan, citizens and gub jecUof other governments should receive tbe strongest assurance that tbe interest and principal are to be paid in coin, according to tbe terms of the bonds issued, without any deduction or abatement whatever. In order to avoid the necessity of employing agents for the negotiation of the loan, I respectfully recommend that a liberal commission be allowed to subscribers, and that i i 1 i i inose wno nrss suoacnoe db permuted to select the class of bonds in which their subscription respectively shall be made. I further recommend, in connection with tbe proposed loan, that the banks established nnder "the act to provide a national currency" be required to snbititnte the bonds that may be issued nnder. the proposed loan act for those now deposited as security for tbe redemption of their bills. Should any bank be unwilling to accept the new condition, provision should be made for the surrender of its charter, and authority given for the organisation of new banks to supply the deficiency thus created.

An essential condition to the success of the proposed new loan is the continuance of the present revenue system. A chief means by which the present holders of the five twenty bonds can be induced to surrender them, and receive a bond npon longer time and at a lower rate of interest, is the certainty furnished by' the magnitude of the national revenue that these bonds are soon to be redeemed. We mast be prepared to offer them the alternative either of accepting the new bond at a lower rate of interest, or payment of the principal of the existing bonds. When tbe five twenty bonds shall have been funded to the amount $1,000,000,000 or $1,200,000,000, the revenues can be reduced materially, and yet sufficient sums be raised to meet the ordinary expenses of the Government, to pay the interest on the public debt, and also to pay $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 of the principal annually. Should our success in negotiating a sew loan be equal to my expectations, based npon the fact that the ability and disposition of the people of the United States to pay the public debt are snfficent to justify us in assuming that the bonds of the United States will command tbe highest rates in the markets of the world, we shall then be in a condition to enter npon the work of reducing taxation at the commencement of the next session of Congress.

RIPVKrriOX Ol' IBBCE FEB CEHT. CXBT1TI CA2ES. On the 30th of Jane, 1B68, the amount of atstaading three per cent, certificates and compound interest notes convertible into three per cent, certificates was $71,601,890. On the 80th of June, 1869, the amount outstanding was $54,981,410, showing a redaction of $16,613,480 in that form of indebtedness. On the 1st of December, 1869, the amount outstanding was still farther reduced to $49, 716,160, showing a total reduction, in seventeen months, of $21,888,740.

The three per cent, certificates tin a substitute, to a considerable extent, for United States notes, being largely held by the banks as a portion of their reserve, and thus indirectly, though not to their fall nominal value, they swell the volame of currency. I recommend that provision be made for the redemption of the three per cent, certifi' cates within a resonable time; and, i compensating measure for the redaction in the amount of currency which would thus be caused, that authority be given to grant charters for banks in tbe States where the banking capital is less than the share to which they would be entitled, to an amount not exceeding thirty five millions of dollars in the aggregate. Tbe redemption of the three per cent, certificates and the additions to the banking capital might be so arranged as not to produce a serious disturbance in the finances or business of the country, while additional banking capital would be supplied to the sections now in need of it, and this without any increase of the volame of circulation. BANKING EVIL8. There are two evils in the present banking system which require remedy by prompt and efficient legislation.

The first is the practice on the part of banks of allowing interests on deposits. The effect of this practice is that moneys in the hands of individuals which otherwise might be loaned for regular mercantile and other business purposes are diverted into the custody of banks, npon the idea that, if the security is not better, payment can be obtained at a moment's notice. Country banks and others remote from the large centres of trade, having received money on deposits for which they pay interests, are anxious to transfer such funds to other banks, from which they will receive an equal or larger rate of interest in return. They are stimulated also by the desire to place their funds where they can be at all times commanded. Thus influenced, large earns are placed on deposits with banks tbe cities, especially in the city of Mew York, which is the great centre of trade and finance for tbe Atlantic coast.

In the ordinary coarse of trade the currency of the country tends rapidly to the cities, and it is unwise to stimulate this tendency by artihcial means. But the evil does not end with the impov erishment of the country. As the banks in the cities may be called upon at any memeut to respond to the drafts of their depositors, "WJ WTCMUV VU IUUB 1VWUB CJJl VBOUblU BUVU funds upon commercial paper payable on time, but insist npon making call loans, as they are termed, with government bonds or other obligations pledged as collateral security. Mer chants generally will not borrow money in large sums payable npon demand. The con sequence is tnat the moneys thus accumulated ji uib en nun uo luaneu persons en aKu iu mo BueuuiBiive pursuits.

i ITW 1 1 I xne extent oi mis evil is seen in me ran i .1 1 1 a inai, oi me nans: loans in me cuy ot new York rn October, 1868, $98,000,000 were upon commercial paper and $68,000,000 upon dmnH with tf ni ,11 anH in October. 1869. S99.000.000 were nnon com mercial paper and $69,000,000 upon demand. In the former year 41 per cent. and in the latter year 87 per cent of the loans made by the New York banks were upon demand.

A farther remit is teen in the fact that panies, sorrowing money npon commercial paper for legitimate commercial purposes, pay from three to six per cent, additional interests per annum as compared with persons who borrow money for speculative pur posts. I therefore respectfully recommend wain taw oe passed proniniiing aosoiuteiy the payment of interests by banks upon de tubus, nuu aiso toeir loans upon collaterals to an amount not exceeding ten per cent, of their canitaL I am satisfied, also, that the practice of eertitying checks, even when lands are in tbe Dana to tne croon oi we drawer oi ine cnecc, is fraught with evil, and that it ought to be entirely promniiea.

HABBI8BUSO, PA, THURSDAY KVKHIHg, PEC 9, ISnO. THE HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH. PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY! OTJR MEW PHO8PECTTJ8 I i Toe Habkisscbo Telegraph is the only Republican paper published in English at the seat of government of this Commonwealth. Aside from this, it is the leading Republican organ of Central Pennsylvania, and claims to stand among the first of the leading exponents of the great Republican principles of to day.

It contains foil, reliable, and the latest reports of Mew York and Philadelphia stock and money markets, with excellent reports of the Philadelphia, Harrisburg and neighboring produce markets. It is fully up to the spirit of the age in late foreign news and has the latest local occurrences, and general news by telegraph from all parts ef the Included in the reading matter of each issue, are several columns of INTERESTING LITKKAKT MATTEB. which gives additional variety to the paper, adapting It, as a whole, to the wants of business men, and the tastes and requirements of the Home Circle. THE DAILY TELECRAPH has proved itself to be the best evening paper published in Pennsylvania, brought about by the publisher realising the fact that an Evening Paper should be as fresh and original as a morning paper, and not merely a rehash of the stale news of the morning, with such addl tloal dippings as could be obtained from later mails and that an evening paper can, by proper enterprise, anticipate the morning Press in the publication of events which occur the country from midnight to the time of its issue, just as well as the morning papers can occupy the fleld.between those hours reversed. The Daily Telegraph has thus far demonstrated this fact, by laying before the publie, in advance of all morning papers, accounts of most important occurrences which have transpired throughout the country.

THIS COURSE WILL BE COirrIlfCB, as one of the established prominent features of the paper, and efforts will be constantly made to add to the interest of the paper in all its departments. THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH will sustain its old reputation as a popular family journal, containing comprehensive accounts of all mat ter of great Interest happening from week to week.

It is scarcely necessary to invite attention to a paper of so great importance. Every citizen is interested in the questions it discusses as well as in the facts and figures officially given. COMOHESS. The proceedings of Congress thns far indi cate a lively session. Matters of great importance have already been introduced in both Houses, and those who feel an interest in the discussions which they must evoke should make themselves familiar with the prelimi nary proceedings, so as to read nnderstand ingly when the questions to which the various bills and resolutions introduced will give rise come to be debated.

TIMt JCESSAQE. Every Republican paper we have seen since the publication of the President's message expresses entire confidence with it as a whole, and commends it as a plain', honest, states manlike exposition of the views and policy of the administration in reference to matters foreign and domestic. With rare exceptions its sentiments will be indorsed by every sound Republican in the Union. The neutral and independent press do full justice to it, and only the caviling Democratic press, which nothing short of the adoption of their own abominable doctrines and ruinous policy could satisfy, find fault with and dishonestly and unjustly criticise it. That, however, was to be expected, and is, perhaps, its highest com mendation.

The Washington Correspondent of our neighbor, the Patriot, writes that the President's message was received by the Demo crats with laughter. What a merry set of fellows these Democrats must be. They have teen laughing uproariously ever since the second Tnesday of October. Each com mencement of the month, as the Treasurer of the doited States announces a further liquidation of the National debt, the laughter is renewed, as it was in past years when the telegraph would send on its lightning wings the announcement of Grant's victories and rebel defeats. Bat their cachinnating ma chinery seems from overusage to be getting out of The laugh sounds tery much like other people's crying.

Something like the wailing of the Republicans when reverses attended onr arms in the battles of tbe re bellion. It may be that this Democratic laughter is what physiologists, in their diag nosis have described as laughter at the wrong tide of the mouth. The Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce (not Commercial College, as erroneously printed in yesterday's Telegraph), destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening, was a large and magnificent structure. The building fronted 92 feet on Second street and extended along Gothi street a depth of 150 feet. The height from pavement to eaves was 60 feet, and to tbe top of the tower 80 feet.

The base was granite with brown stone elevation, and the front on Second street had a line of fourteen columns, with pedestals, supporting the main cornice. The Chamber of Commerce alone was 130 feet long, 88 feet wide and 85 feet high. There were besides many large offices, and the entire southern part was occupied by the Tradesmen's Bank. The lowest estimated loss is $180,000, supposed to be covered by insurance. Pbksioks.

None murmur at this offering of patriotism and valor, save those who lent their aid and sympathy to the enemy during the war. "POLICY OF THE DEMOCRACY. It is said that the policy of the Democrats in Congress will be indicated at an early day in the session, and that it is to be hostile to every measure of the administration. A Washington dispatch says "I am authorized to state that a Democratic member of the House 66m Ohio will open the attack on the Administration, and thereby develop the policy of the Opposition, in a speech assailing it for the non payment of private claims against the Government, and declaring that in refusing to liquidate them the Administration furnishes a precedent for the repudiation of the public debt, which he would advocate.

He will also refer to the alleged violation ef law by Secretary Boutwell in the redemption of Government bonds at rates below par, and suggest the advisability of impeaching that Of course, suggestion will fall fiat, because the Secretary has not redeemed, but merely purchased bonds in excess of tbe amount, required by the Sinking Fund, and will place them at the disposal of Congress, either to be reissued or destroyed." We can only say, if such is their policy, let them go ahead and test its effectiveness. It does not strike us there is any change their programme from what it has been heretofore, and certainly in the past it has not been attended with much success. Bat if they can find either profit or amusement in butting their heads against the Republican wall until they have batted their brains out, we have no objection to their continuing the experiment fA Thb CEcdmbnicai. Council, summoned by the Pope, opened its sessions at Rome yesterday. It is the first time in three hundred years that the great synod of the Catholic Church has assembled, and it is only because it is deemed of momentous importance, in view of the great changes of the period, that their influence npon the church should be considered and dealt with, that it is now brought together.

The action of so important an ecclesiastical body will, of course, be of interest to the whole religious world, and will be observed and scrutinized to the last degree. The council will be opened with imposing magnificence and impressive religious ceremonies. Correspondence of the Iblioraif Onr Washington Letter. Wasbikotok, Dec. 8, 1869.

The second session of the Forty first Congress has opened auspiciously. The weather on Monday was very bad a cold, heavy rain, inclining to snow, gave to "all outdoors" an aspect of bleakest discomfort, while within the exhalations of moist umbrellas and over clothing was anything but agreeable. Bnt in spite of these untoward circumstances a genial food feeling marked the opening of both oases. On former occasions of this character groups of excited M. would be seen on the floor discussing the latest belligerent demonstrations of "the man at the other end of the avenue" who, through the agency of Wilkes Booth, had been elevated to the Presidential chair only to the process of reconstruction and to thwart the will of tbe people.

The change of administration, however, had removed this cause of dissension, bringing the legislative and executive departments into entire harmony. The Republican majority, in the calm consciousness of undisputed supremacy, were naturally in a gracious humor, while the opposition, no longer animated by the truculent waywardness of Andrew Johnson, were cot disuosed to make anv gratuitous exhibition of hostile feeling. In tne senate, Uarrulous Davis toand it diihcult to resist the general ban hommie, while Sauls bury had not yet got up steam enough for a demonstration. In the the gloomy James Brooks condescended to unbend his Roman dignity, while the genial faces of Eld ridge and Sunset Cox beamed 'with fan and good humor. A remarKabie contrast was ooservabie in the bearing of Senators and Representatives.

The latter were energetic and demonstrative. The preliminary handshaking was cordial and vigorous; the jokes, which we in the gallery ceuld not hear, must have been racy, judging from the laughter they excited. It was pleasant to see party lines so completely ignored id moats auciai greetings, in me centiie ine same cordiality of feeling had a much less warm expression. An irresistible atmosphere of courtly etiquette pervades the Senate chamber which is perhaps exaggerated in many instances beyond necessity by some supercilious magnates, but which to some extent is a natural accompaniment of Senatorial dignity. I have often observed its influence upon new Senators.

A young Senator lately transferred from tbe House, where he was a very "prince of good fellows," seems, almost without an effort, to have caught this spirit of courtly dignity, restraining his genial impul siveness within the strict proprieties of etiquette. Such is the influence of prescription even amid onr "fierce Democracie." From my seat in the gallery of the House, I was agreeably entertained in observing the "representative men" of our nation till the hour for opening the session arrived. Mr. Speaker Blaine ascended his platform, presenting a fine, manly physique and an impressive manner. In a clear, sonorous voice he called the House to order and called upon the Chaplain, Rev.

Dr. Butler, of the Lutheran chuich, to conduct the devotions. The prayer was simple yet earnest, destitute of all sensa tionalism, just what might have been emected from the unobtrusive Christian character of tbe reverend gentleman. The reverent attention of the members, most of whom remained standing, was edifying and appropriate. The usual preliminaries of onaninr followed, bnt the main interest centered in the reading of we rresiuenvs message, contrary to custom, this document had not been printed, and the first certain knowledge of its contents acquired by the honorable gentlemen was by hearing it read.

This doubtless contributed to the profound, breathless attention with which it was meted bv all narties. This able state paper is now a matter of universal comment on DOtn siaes ot tne Atlantic. As a literary production it aspires to no especial elegance of style, but as a plain, straightforward dealing with real issues it is decidedly a "success." The dyspeptic critic of the New York World seems to have written in advance of the reception of the message, his carping objections being ludicrously out of place. One of the objections nrged is the allusion in the mesiage to the defunct Alabama treaty. Bat this is jast one of the questions with which the Administration is expected to deal, and the frank exposition of views so entirely agreeable to public opinion will be received with marked satisfaction all over the country.

The financial policv of the Administration has been such a decided success, that to mention its doings would seem to be somewhat boastful, vet there is nothing in the statement made bnt what finds a warm response in the popular heart The redaction of the public debt seventy millions has of itself a high sound, which no mock humility can deaden. Bat the most cheering indication of the message is the statement of the general diffusion of manntactunng industry. This is in the direction of a normal civilization. The manufacture of raw material noon the field of its nro daction is the opening of a higher sweep of social progress, uur proaucuve and manu facturing interests have found at last a com mon ground of nnion and effort. The wool andcotton interests have lately been organized upon a basia of entire reciprocity, embracing uviu raw prouacuon ana manufacture, and the other great branches of our industry will soon emulate this movement.

The President wisslv refrains from sanctioning any disturbance of our present tana except in cases of an important character. What we now want is a settled policy in which our industrial and commercial interests will establish themselves on permanent basis. Both Houses are deenlv engaged in im portant measures, and the idea of earnest work seems to have thoroughly established itself in the legislative mind. According to prcBsun luumuons several prominent matters will be disooBed of At pnrlv Hnv but the session is expected to last far Into the warm weatner. E.

Mr. Sumner introduced the following bill to amend the banking act and to promote the return to specie payments Be it enacted, That so much of the banking act as limits the issue of bills to $300. 000,000 is hereby repealed, and existing banks may be organized at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury but no more bills than are now authorized by the banking act shall hereafter be issued unless the Secretary of the Treasury at the time of their issue can and does cancel and destroy a like amonnt of legal tenders ana the increase of bank bills hereby autnonzea snail not exceed 000 per year, which amonnt shall be so dis tributed by the Secretary of the Treasury as te equalize as near as possible the banking interests of the different States. Mr.

Sumner indicated the following reasons in favor of the bill First. It will create a demand for national bonds, and, to this ex tent, fortify the national credit. Second. It will tend to satisfy those parts of the country, especially at the South and West, where cur rency and banks are wanting, and thus arrest a ditncult question. Antra, it will not expand or contract the currency, so that the ooDosite parties on these questions mav bud port it.

Fourth. Under it the banks will gradually strengthen themselves and prepare to resume specie payments. Fifth. It will give the South and West the opportunity to organize banks, and will interest these parts of the country to this extent in the national securities and the national banking system, by which both will be strengthened. Sixth.

It will, within a reasonable time, relieve the country of the whole greenback system, and thus dispose of an important question. Sev enth, it will nasten tne return to specie pay ments. The bill was laid on the table for the present Mr. Trumbull introduced a bill to relieve members of Congress from importunity and to preserve the independence of the different departments ot me government It provides that any member of Congress or delegate from a Territory who shall, directly or inaireciiy, solicit or recommena ine appointment to office, by the President oi the heads of departments, of any person, or who shall solicit or recommend the employment of any person in any ot tne executive departments, except such recommendation be writing, in response to a written request of the head of the department asking infor mation, or by a Senator, in giving his advice and consent in tne manner provided by the Constitution, shall be guilty of a misdemeau or, and on conviction thereof, shall be fined not exceeding $1,000 for each offense and it shall not be lawful for the President or the head of any department to appoint to office or employ in his department any person who shall be, directly or indirectly, recommended therefor by any member of Congress or. dele gate from a Territory, except in the manner now provided.

1 Mr. Trumbull explained the provisions of the bill and argues in tavor ot its passage at some length. After some remarks by Messrs. Davis and Yates, it was laid on the table for the present and ordered to be printed. Washington, Dec.

8. The following nom inations were sent in to day for Circuit Judges George F. Shepley, of Maine, for the First Circuit. Lewis B. Woodruff, of New York, for the Second Circuit Wm.

M'Kennan, of Pennsylvania, for the Third Circuit George A. Pearce, of Maryland, for the Fourth Circuit Wm. B. Woods, of Alabama, for the Fifth Circuit George H. Yeaman, of Kentucky, for the Sixth Circuit Thos.

Drummond, of New York, for the Seventh Circuit Lorenzo Sawyer, for the Ninth Circuit The other nominations were ef appointments made during the recess, including 37 for the Treasury Department 64 for the Navy 129 for the War Department 129 for the Attorney General's office, and one for the Office, namely, John M. Marshall, to be First Assistant Postmaster General. On motion of Mr. Anthony, the standing committees of the Senate were announced by the Clerk. The following Senators constitute thi eeve ral committees named below, after the alterations made this morning Foreign Relations Messrs.

Sumner, Cameron, Harlan, Morton, Patterson, Schurz and Casserly. Appropriations Messrs. Morrill Wilson, Cole, Sprague, Sawyer, Pool and Stockton. Naval Affaire Messrs. Cragin, Anthony, Nye, Drake, Scott, Osborn and Stockton.

Patents Messrs. Willey, Terry, Carpenter, Norton and Hamilton. Library Messrs. Cattell, Howe and Morrill (Me). To Audit and Control Contingent Expenses Messrs.

Ferry, Edmunds and Davis. The other committees are without alteration. The following petitions were presented and referred By Mr. Edmunds, petition of C. D.

Bout well, of Texas, setting forth that the petitioner had been a rebel and got sick of it, and now wanted to be released from all disabilities. By Mr. Sumner, petition of W. Cornell Jewett, asking Congress, as a means of vindicating the dignity and sovereignty of the nation, to suspend the workings of the French Cable on American soil until France authorized the landing of a cable from America on French soil and guaranteed that all American dispatches should freely pass over France through the hands of American agents. Mr.

Sumner remarked that there was now a bill upon the table of the Senate which met the prayer of the petitioner, and he proposed calling it up at an early day. Mr. Edmunds gave notice that on Friday he would ask for the consideration of the House resolution regarding the hours of labor of government laborers, workmen and mechanics. A resolution was passed at the last ses sion in relation to the hours Tf labor without touching the matter of compensation. The Attorney General had given a decision on that law, but the heads of the department had not executed the law in accordance with that decision.

The law itself, it is believed, was not satisfactory to the workmen, at least it was making no profit to them, but tended to demoralize every governmental institution in which laborers were. Mr. Williams introduced a joint resolution relating to amendments to the Constitution, providing that whenever satisfactory evidence is famished to the Secretary of State that three fourths of the Legislatures have ratified any proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, he shall forthwith, pro claim the fact of such ratification and if it snail appear teat tne Legislature or a State has ratified an amendment proposed, as aforesaid, any other action by the Legislature of that State as to such amendment, shall be void and discharged by the Secretary of Stat. neierrea to tne uuaiciary Committee. On motion of Mr.

Cameron, the President was requested to commnnicate anv informa tion relative to the progress of the revolution in Cuba and the etate of civil and political affairs in that island. Mr. Ramsey called no hia resolution re questing the President to communicate any information he may have relative to the attempted assumption of the government of the Red river settlement by tbe Hon. Mr. M'Donald.

Adopted. The bill to remove tbe political disabilities from sundry citizens of the Southern States was taken np and passed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. On motion of Mr. Schenck, the House re solved itself into committee of the whole on the state of the Union for the purpose of referring the different subjects embraced in the resident message to appropriate com mittees.

Various resolutions on the subject were offered, and after some time spent in their consideratio, the committee rose and the resolutions were reported to the House and adopted. Mr. Dawes introduced a bill to reorganize the Treasury Department and fix the pay of us omcerB, remarsmg uuit ne ma noi consiaer himself committed to its provisions, but introduced it at the request of others. Referred to the Committee on Appropriations. Mr.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, offered a res olution directing the Postmaster General to report wnat, any, plan is practicable by which the pensions due to widows, orphans, and soldiers may be paid through the money order system of the Post Office Department From Washington. Washington, Dec.

8. The discussion of the new census bill in tbe House to day sufficiently developed the feeling of that bodv relative to the clause providing for an increase of the number of its members, and to indicate the certainty of its adoption. The strongest argument yet advanced in its favor is that the strength of the Senate has increased in more rapid proportion than that of the House nnder the present ratio of representation. The bill wili be hurried to final action, and undoubtedly be passed by both houses within the coming fortnight for the reason that the old law will be revived if a new one is not adopted before the 1st of January. It is expected that the census authorized by it will show that we have a population of about forty five minion.

The nominations of George M. Robeson to be Secretary of the Navy, and W. W. Belknap, to be Secretary of War, were confirmed in the executive session of the Senate to day without a dissenting voice. Jndge Eelley, of Pennsylvania, addressed the Colored Labor Convention to night Senator Sumner will do likewise to morrow night.

Senator Ferry's proposition to repeal test oaths meets with general approval in both houses, and will undoubtedly become a law. The following telegram was received at the internal revenue office to day go alia, Dee. 8. Deputy Marshal Moses was shot dead on the 4th instant by Felix Witworth, in Camden county. Please instruct the marshal to send a force immediately.

Mark J. Lansing, Assessor. Commissioner Delano has telegraphed to the assessor for further particulars. Among the nominations sent to the Senate to day were Charles J. Folger, assistant treasurer, and George W.

Palmer, appraiser for New York. Also, the following in the Navy Department Augustus L. Case, Chief of Bureau of Ordnance Daniel Ammen, Chief of Bureau of Yards and Docks Edward T. Dunn, Chief of Bureau of Provisions and Clothing, and W. M.

Wood, Chief of Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The Senate to day passed the House bill relieving from political disabilities a large number of Southerners. FOREIGN. Italy. Rome, Dec.

8. The (Ecumenical Council was opened to day by the Pope. The weather was unfavorable, rain falling at intervals, but enormous crowds filled the Vatican and lined the streets through which the members of the Council passed. The Pope, followed by seven hundred bishops, proceeded to the hall of the Council amid the ringing of bells and thundering of cannon from the forts of St. Acgelo and Mount Anentine.

The Holy Father was in fine health. The galleries of the hall of the Council were occupied by sovereigns and princes now in Rome, by members ef the Corps Diplomatique, and other notables. The ceremonies excelled in grandeur and magnificence any that have taken place in Rome within the present century. London, Dec 8. The Daily News, commenting on General Grant's statement of the Alabama claims, infers that the Americans want indemnity for their feelings, rather than for their trade or pockets.

This may be given. Diplomacy may oil this international position and remove sentimental grievances without compromising British interests or pride. The Continental press generally applaud Secretary Boutwell' a plan for the resumption of specie payments. News from Virginia. Bpeoial to tbe Tblkobaph by Paeifio and Atlantis Line.

New York, Dec 9. A Richmond dispatch to the Herald says "The President's recommendation to Congress for the early admission of Virginia, and the prospects of its being speedily carried out, causes a general feeling of rejoicing, the exceptions being a few factions whom theRe publican party left to run the last convention by themselves, and a few sore headed old Democrats who exhibit cheap pluck by swearing that they would rather be under Canby than Walker. The great mass of the Republicans and Conservatives are rejoiced at the prospect of an early admission. The talk about the Legislature undertaking to upset the provisions of the new constitution or render them in operative.is unfounded. The only parties interested in keeping the State out are non residents, who have been appoiated to civil office by the military.

All Northern people who have come here, as farmers or business men, are rejoiced over the approaching admission, no matter what side they are on in politics. Prouress op Chicago. A Chicago paper devotes a page, to the details of bailding in that progressive city, from which we learn that the capital invested daring the past year amounts to that 2,000 frame dwellings, valued at $1,000 apiece, were erected that $600,000 was expended in the Court House extension, $400,000 in twelve churches, and $143,000 in five school build iDgs.
