The elm of this Association, as many of xmr citizens are aware, is to diminish beggary and pauperism in onr midst by such a wise and economical distribution of charity to the needy, the sick, and Unfortunate as shall enable them to recover their position useful, seif-sustaining members of society. It i3 now an incorporated institution with a working organization, consisting of an Executive Board of twenty-two members, in which each ward of the city is represented by two members.

Under this Board, collectors have been appointed in every ward to solicit donations. Visitors are also p-. pointed few their several districts In every ward of tbe city to distribute alma to the poor, to-inquire into their condition, and to see that the lands of the Association are not wasted. Under this management daring the previous year, ending in 1864, we distributed in provisions, fuel, and clothing nearly $10,000, giving aid to 2,464 families, embracing hot ail about 7,800 persons. Thus far during the present year nearly an equal sum has been raised, and at least an equal number of the indigent and sick have come under ear care.

But, the necessaries of life are now more than doubled in prices ae compared with former years, our expenditures have been in fike proportion. At meeting of onr Executive Boards held on Friday flight last, ft wm found that the funds iu our treasury won so nearly exhausted as to compel the Association to snspead its operations. It is one duty of the members of our Executive Board to see that collections are taken up In their wards, and, if collectors fail or are unable to attend to their work, to appoint others. In some wards this labor has been faithfully performed. In others we regret to say that thus far ft has been neglected.

Tim consequence is that while in some wards of the city the generous and benevolent of our citizens have responded nobly to our appeals, in other wards of like wealth and liberality not even a dollar has yet been raised. Therefore we are brought to a stand in this labor of self-denial and charity so urgently needed, while the poor, the sick! uid the dying are still on our hands, for whose relief we feelourselvee pledged. In this trying embarrassment, onr first appeal Is to those members of onr Executive Board and to those of onr collectors who have failed to obtain the ready contributions of our benevolent citizens. Next, we appeal to all whose hearts Me touched In behalf of the suffering and the needy, whose almoners we are, to come forward, without personal solicitation, to our immediate assistance. As oar means are increased, so shall we be enabled to prosecute our work more efficiently.

Our aim to make this Association one that shall do credit to our city, to plant industry and prosperity where now poverty and misery most abound. Mr. Charles Tilaen, Treasurer of the Association, at the Bank of Loubville, will receipt for donations. We trust our citizens will not wait a call from onr tardy collectors. By order of the Executive Board in session.

A voice. 1 That is true. Mr- Odell resuming, said: When such language as that which had been uttered bv the gentleman (Mr. Schenck) reached the Souther States, the inference would be that the North was divided. (Mr.

Schenck, in his seat,) remarked: Not ipueb. Mr. Odell resumed: The language of the fentleman implied that more than half of the lemocrats oLphe North were enemies of the Government. Now he wanted no each record to go forth to the enemies of the country, and he (Odell) had no hesitation in saying that the Democratic party, from the beginning of tbe war, bad been earnestly solicitous to put down the rebellion. He hoped such strictures had been uttered here for the last time.

After further debate the pending amendment was amended bo to require the principal to be notified in case of a non compos mentis or other incompetent person bring placed In the army substitute, and holding the principal. The principal, however, is aot to be held for his substitute unless notice be furnished to the petty within thirty days after the substitute has been mustered in.

22, 1865. Bir: I bave tbe honor to inform von that Wilmington hi been evacuated, and is nowin possession of our After the evacuation of Fort Anderson, I pushed forward thejgan-boats up far os the water would permit. The army pushed up at the same time on the right and left banks of therlver. After sounding and buoying the middle-ground at the Island, I succeeded getting the gunboats over, and opened fire on Fort Strong, the work commanding the principal obstructions, and where the rebels had also sunk a barge and the steamer North Eastern. Onr fire soon drove the rebels away from the Fort.

Now and then they would fire a (hot, one of which struck the 8essacus below the water-mark and set her to scudding badly. No lives were lost that night. On the 20th the rebels sent by two hundred floating torpedoes, bnt I had a strong picket 'force of boats out, and the torpedoes were sunk with musketry. One got into the wheel of the Osceola and blew her wheel-house to pieces, and knocked down her bulkhead. There was no damage done to her hull.

Some of the vessels picked up the torpedoes with their torpedo nets. The next morning I spread two fishing-nets across the river. Yesterday evening. General Ames, with his division, moved within a short distance of the Fort, and had a sharp encounter with the rebels. On bearing the musketry, and seeing where onr troops were, I opened a rapid fire on the Fort and all along the enemys line.

The Fort responded with three or four shots, but was coon silenced. This morning we learned that General Terry wm within their works, and the road was clear to Wilmington. The boats couldnt get across the shoals without lightening, which was a work of some labor. I had the pleasure of pladBg the flag on Fort Strong. At noon to-day we all fired a salute of thirty-fife guns, this being the anniversary of Washingtons birthday.

BLESSING. plenteous source of every good and every perfect gift, shed, abroad the cheering light of Thy seven-fold grace the spirit of wisdom, and understanding, of counsel, and spiritual Strength, of knowledge, true godliness, and Thy holy fear over our hearts. Yea, Spirit of Lore and Goodness, I most humbly Implore Thy slstance.

Thod nowest my fallings aud necessities, the drowsiness of my understanding, the coldness of my affections, the perverseness of my wilL When, therefore, I neglect to practise what I know, visit me, I beseech Thee, with Thy grace; enlighten my mind, rectify my desires, correct my wanderings, and pardon my omissions, so that I may, by Thy guidance, be preserved from making shipwreck of Faith and a good conscience, and, at length, he safely landed at the haven of eternal bllw. i Come, Holr Spirit, who, ever one, Art with the Father and the Bon, 1 Come. Holy Ghost, our soul pomes With Thy full flood of Holioeas, Let mouth and heart and head oomblno To herald hath the Creed Divine, And Love ao wrap our mortal frame, I Other my catoh the living flame. We have an instinctive passion for happiness and glory. This passion is regarded and appealed to by the motives ot religion.

The experimental grace of religion inspires the purest bliss- The proudest positions in State, the deepest treasures of wealth, the most exquisite delight of sense and appetite, sink into utter Insipidity and nothingness when compared with the sublime pleasures of Religion. -The peace that passe th all understanding, the Joy unspeakable and full of glory, the love that casts out all fear, are not educed from any earthly sources of enjoyment; they only spring eternal from religion. God has ordained 1 these inward festivities as a motive to piety. The sea of perfect love Is not always swept with a or gale of excitement. Many are the days of holy calm beneath unclouded suns.

The variations of feeling are not fitful and spasmodic, but rise and elide gently, like the ebb and flow of the sea, gradually advancing and receding, but never ceasing to be an ocean. The heart is the receptacle of love. It subsists upon, luxuriates in It, for the love of God Is not merely the exercise and concentration of the affections on proper objects as the love of God, the love of Christians, the love of enemies but. Is also an experimental verity, divinely com muni, cated. It Is the love of God Shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, given unto ns; It Is the breath Of God, warm from His lips.

This communicated influence, or essence of the eternal Spirit, becomes the element of the souL We dwell in it we inhale it ae a sweet, healthy atmosphere; it vitalizes and invigorates every faculty. Such Is the great blessing of sanctification. The result of such purity is fruit unto entire which is attainable by practice and experience of, the means of grace, and these are felt.fi, prayer, scriptures, church ordinances, and Christian society. i A person may be a child of God before entire sanctification is realized, provided he Is justified, grows iu grace and knowledge, and maintains victory Over sin, which is subdued within him, but not wholly eitermlnated. What is the deft, nitlon and difference of love and friendship Love is a compound affection, consisting of esteem, benevolence, and desire, excited by beauty, worth, or pleasing qualities of any kind, and communicating pleasure, sexual or intellectual.

Friendship is a noble attachment to a person of truth, virtue, and spiritual love, proceeding from many trials, and, therefore. Intimate acquaintance and reciprocation of kind offices, or from a favorable opinion of the amiable and respectable qualities of the mind, which render social Intercourse agreeable; bat the strictest tie of perpetual friendship Is marriage. J. W. Princeton, February 9, 1865.

The Suez Canal France, by means of her capital, Is completing works of the utmost Importance to the civilized world.

Foremost among these, says the Philadelphia Age, Is the Suez ship canal, uniting the Red Sea with, the Mediterranean, and which is so far completed that a daily boat has been run from Port Said to Suez since the 1st of last month a large bark, towed by a steamer, and conveying twenty to thirty passengers, having passed from sea to sea within twenty-four hours. As yet, the depth of water would seem to be but four or five feet, with a width ot thirty to forty; but it is confidently calculated that the canal will he prepared for effective transportation by April, when six steam-tugs are to be ready for service upon it. This qanal is ninety miles long, and is to have, when completed, a minimum depth of 20 feet, with a width of 330 feet at thesurface. It was commenced In 1859 by a private company, on a subscribed capital of $40,000,000. M.

de Lease pe, who is the President of the company, by which this gigantic work has been carried forward, is a man of enlarged views, and rumor has at all times pointed him out but an agent for developing the plans of the Emperor of the French. That astute politician, like his unde, has visions of an Empire In the East, and is thus Opening np an avenue In that direction. It Is this view of the real object of the 8uez canal which has caused England to regard the project with jealous hostility, and refuse to aid In any movement by which it could be benefited. Bat the Emperor of the French has carried his plan Into execution, and thus another step has been taken In the direction of appearing the angry efirit of Waterloo. Apart from this view of the enterprlp, ft must exert a most healthy and stimulating Influence npon the trade and commerce of France, as the company, being in the interest of the Empire, can discriminate lu various ways for the benefit of Its merchants and manufacturers.

The Emperor of the French Is a far-sighted leader, and, whether annexing Sonora or building the Suez canal, he is scheming for the glory and advancement of France. TO THE CITIZENS OF LOUISVILLE. It is proper that the citizens of Louisville, especially those liable to draft, and still mire esecially those who have each contributed $25 toward making up the 8177,100 toward supplying that amount, deficiency of the bounty fund provided by the oltv, shouTd be informed of the amount which has been raised by the $36 subscriptions, well the number of volunteers already procured by paymeut of the local bounty and credited to Louisville; The number (liable to draft) who bare mb- eribed 26 ia 1,810, making. 10,800 Two, not liable to draft, bave eubscrlbed $5(1 each, 100 foa yTte Secretary of War has sent an order to CoL Dill, commander of the post, stating, that, If the citizens of Louis rill do not take care of their poor. Including the wives and families Of soldiers, let Lim at once commence' an assess ment npon all citizens whose sympathies are known to be with the rebels.

In other words, ell secession sympathizers ore to be assessed until a sufficient amount of money is raised to provide for the poor of this city. We learn that 1 It.ls the intention of Colonel Dill to raise enough money by subscription to meet the necessity, and agents are at work soliciting funds from our citizens to prevent this assessment; and, if not Colonel Dill will be compelled to put into execution the order Of the Secretary of War. 1 Tbs Draft Quxsnas. Up to last night, the number of volunteers secured for the clty6 credit In the next draft was two hundred and fifty-three. We want one thousand one hundred and fifty-nine more to fill the quota.

We hear some very silly and absurd questions asked, such as these; If I subscribe twenty-five dollars, and am drafted, but found to be exempt, will I get back my mosey? Of course not. Another asks; If this twenty-five dollars subscription is to go to the general fund to pay for volunteers, is it probable that there will be any left to pay the three hundred dollars to drafted men? Yes, the city has obligated herself to pay this sum to the drafted man who is accepted by the Examining Board, who has paid in his twenty-five dollars. This Bum he may use as he pleases buy a substitute, leave it with his, family, it he chooses to fight, or, if he likes, he may use It to defray his expenses to Canada; at all events, if is cerium that is secure will tie three hundred dollars. Last night was the time agreed to settle the matter whether the city and county should act Jointly or separately. Only a few delegates from the county were present-at the Court-houso, Secretary failing to be present, they adjourned to meet again on Wednesday, at the usual time and place.

(p The notorious rebel guerilla chief! Jesse John Morgans successor in the horse-stealing business ia again, In Kentucky. It will be remembered that he left the State about six weeks or two months ago, carrying oat to Virginia about two hundred recruits. A correspondent at Leesburg, Harrison county, Kentucky, wrlte that Jesse, accompanied by about thirty men, passed within two miles of that place, on the morning of the 21st Instant, going in the direction of Owen county. He was subsequently heard of at Hearnes Store, In Scott county, Where an auction sale was going on. The crowd in attendance at the sale, scattered in every di-.

rection upon the appearance of the guerillas, but the me st of them were overtaken, and those who had fine horses compelled to swap. An old man named John Hall, who was mounted npon a very fine steed, was chased several miles by the guerillas, and finally overtaken. They demanded his horse, which he obstinately refused to give np, whereupon a couple of the rebels beat him very badly, and, giving him a blind horse In exehange for his own favorite animal, told him to get home as fast as he could. CffjT As the steamer City of Cairo was passing steamer Fairchild, which is aground near-leland No. 16, she was hailed by several men in a skiff! putting off from the latter.

Captain Riley ordered the boat stopped, and as the skiff approached had a line cast out for it to be made fast to, but It slipped from the hands of a negro in the and the current being swift, was swung around, carried under the wheel and -crushed. The men clung to the wheel, until assistance was extended to them, by which they were rescued. They belonged to the crew of the Fairchild and had approached the City of Cairo to put letters aboard. They were sent back to the Fairchild, only in the way of a wetting, a little worse of their adventure. i Falls City Bank.

GODFREY- BECKFOBD STORY. --We were font of us enjoying our cigars and wine In onfc of the rooms of the Hotel in Rome. We had been all of ns classmates In college, and finally, after years of separation, had met In the Eternal City. Two, Gordob and Blmrall, were art atndents, and residents of more than a years standing. The third.

Beck-ford, I had met a Short time previous in Padua, and travelled from thence with him, or rather he joined our party, I WM travelling with my sister for her health. We Jnd been for the week past under the ciceronage of the two first-named gentlemen, viewing the wonders -of Rome, and our talk, as was natural, had been constantly of what we had seen. This night, however, we had been reverting to old school topics, and Gordon proposed each should tell what bad befallen him since we parted, begin-' nlng with Beckford. I should premise that the latter was of a cold, rather Laughty temperament, a little inclined to be satirical. Yet I had remembered him at school rather the opposite.

I remarked on the change In him, adding I presumed he had a romance to tell us. He half smiled, hut said, Yea, I have had an unfortunate love affair! If that Is what you mean, aud I suppose, like some other men, was foolish enough to let it color my whole fhtnre, even to change me, as you aay lam changed. To begin at the beginning; we all left college about the same time, I believe; and young and enthusiastic on the subject of Tame and worldly honors, I commenced the study of law. I dont know what I aimed gentlemen; something grand, no doubt, but as yet excessively In the clouds, when summer tame, and my preceptor, proposing to the sea-shore, I concluded to pay a long-deferred visit to my cousin Mrs. Hollaway, la the Village of Tf It was a quiet little country town, and dull 'in the extreme.

In consequence, my cousin had struck up an Intimacy with a family named Dana. A member of that family was a Miss Prescott, some connection, 1 forget what, of Mrs. Dana. Mies Prescott was beautiful, and I fell In love with her." I suppose you would like a picture of her. Imagine, then, a' tali, finely-formed with dark hair and eyes, and a skin of a pure, healthy white, utterly without color save In the lips.

8he was a woman of great vivacity, full of eager animal life. You were Impressed immediately with her on first presentation. She possessed one of those natures that seemed to absorb yours utterly; yop were as If drunken with her presence. Ah, well! you understands what kind ot woman. Of course, I fell deeper-ately In love.

At first she coquetted with me; then I thought she loved me. She amused herself listening to my boyish ebullition of feeling, and drew me on till life became a fever nothing but her presence could satisfy. One day, however, came the end. The climax was rather odd. Perhaps you have supposed I had a rival, hut I do not presume you imagined anything so tragic as a husband.

Yes; she had been married clandestinely three years previous. The husband had been forced to wait the death of some one before he could make a disclosure, and In the meantime Miss Prescott amused herself with flirtations. I did not then, and do not now, approve of clandestine marriages, and the idea, of my idol having condescended to such a thing was not the least of my pain. She had kept the whole matter secret from her friends, carrying on a secret correspondence for years; but when he finally came she was not expecting him. I had gone to Bee her one day, and was sitting drinking in the delight of her presence, when Mr.

Wentworth entered. As she had not expected him, you can Imagine a scene, but you Cannot the Inimitable grace with which the first surprise being over she turned to me and said Allow me to present Mr. Wentworth, my husband." Of course, as I was male, not female, I didnt have the resource of fainting, butI believe I turned very pale, only for a moment, however. Something In the expression of her face roused me. Well, 1 was a boy, and hot-leaded, find had received a stunning blow, so I believe I said some harsh words.

I know she turned from me to him with, an appealing gesture, as If Imploring his protection protection against I believe it is considered good for young men to pass through some such experience to give them knowledge of the world. We stand by and laugh at their groans and sighs. It Is a pain to which We give little sympathy, but to the sufferer it is severe. I do not know that it has made me more of a man. I think the next time I saw her did me as much good as anything.

ItVas some years after I had given np the law, for ambition was dead In me, and lived rather an aimless life since we parted. That, however, was owing as mnch to a legacy left me, affording sufficient to gratify any reasona- ble wants, to the slight she had cast npou Happening to be in New York, I went one night to the opera, and looking over the house, eaw her. She looked jaded, haggard, And worn. I went to hei; box, and Introduced myself, as she did not at, first recognize me. We had some little talk about old matters.

8he seemed listless, and, after a time do not be surprised, gentlemen grew tiresome, insipid. It was like a half-emptied bottle of champagne "the day after a feast the sparkle, the life of the wine was gene; what remained was stale, flat, and unprofitable. It is dreary to find ones old love the one for whose sake we have remained single, so changed from the bright being we once worshipped to see the idol dashed from Its pedestal, laying In rains at Its base. I met her husband afterward, and then understood her better. Do you read Tennyson? You remember the lines, Ai the htuband is, the wife is; thou art mated with a clown.

And the greeeneae ef hi nature will have weight to drag thee down." A little time has passed since then. 1 I have spent most of It in travelling. I have been in Germany, France, Spain, and the British Islands. This is my second visit to Italy, aud fate will determine my future movements. General Schemmelfinniq.

Gen Alexander Bchemmelfinulg la the officer who first entered Charleston. The name is against ther hero. People will find it difficult to repeat ft very often. But he Is Bald to be an excellent officer, a Prussian by birth and education a thorough military man, who entered the United States service as Colonel of a Pennsylvania regiment at the breaking out of the war, and was commissioned a Brigadier- General In 1862, for gallantry.

-XXXV LLITU CONGRESS SECOND SESSION. Washington, Feb. SENATE. The Louisiana question wm taken np and discussed. Mr.

Van Winkle presented the credentials of Wakeman P. Wiley, Senator from West Virginia from the 4th of March, 1865, for the-term of six years, which were read and filed. The bill to create an office of Solicitor and Judge Advocate of the Navy Department was taken lip. Mr. Trumbull spoke against it, and Mr.

Grimes explained Its provirions and advocated it. The bill passed. Mr. Collamer called np the House resolution to authorize Wm. H.

Purcell to paint a picture for the capital at a cost not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars. Mr. Sumner was sorry to feel compelled to oppose this measure. Pending the consideration of tnis question the morning hour expired. Mr.

Chandler, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a House bill to provide, that, in the measurement of the tonnage of ships, the store-rooms and packing-rooms above the lower deck shall not be Passed. Mr Foster moved that the 8enate take a recess from 4:80 till 7 P. the evening session to be devoted to the consideration of the bankrupt bill. The motion to take a recess prevailed, but the question making the bankrupt law the special order was decided in the negative. The joint resolution recognizing the State government of Louisiana was then taken np.

Mr. Bumner offered the following as a substitute for the resolution of the JudiciarCommit-tee, which was ordered to be printed: fberolved, That it is the duty of the United States, at the earliest practicable moment consistent with the common defence of the general welfare, to re-establish, by act of Congress, republican governments in those States where loyal governments have been vacated by the existing rebellion, and thus to the full extent of their powers fulfil the requirements of the constitution that the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government. Hetolved, That this important duty Is Imposed by the Constitution, in express terms, to the United States, not to individuals or classes of individuals, or to any military commander or military officer, and can not be entrusted to any such persons; it may be for an oligarchical class or in disregard of large numbers of loyal people, bat mast be performed by the United States, represented by the President and both Honses of Congress, acting for the whole people thereof. Resolved, That in determining the extent of this duty and in the absence of the purest definition of the term republican form of government, we cannot err if when called upon to perform this guarantee under the constitution we adopt the self-evident truth of the Declaration of Independence as our authoritative rule, and insist that in every established State that the consent of the governed shall be the only foundation of the government and a 1 men shall be equal before the laws. Resolred, That, independent of the Declaration of Independence, it is plain that any duty imposed by the Constitution most be pronounced in conformity with justice and reason, and, in the light of existing facts, that, therefore, in the performance of this guarantee, there can be no power under the Constitution to disfranchise loyal people, or to recognize any such disfranchisement, especially when it may hand over the loyal majority to the government of the disloyal minority; nor can there be any power under the Constitution to discriminate in favor of rebellion, by admitting to the electoral franchise rebels who bave forfeited all rights, to the exclusion of loyal people who have never forfeited any rights.

Resolved, That the United States now called upon at a crisis of history to perform this guarantee, will fail In dnty under the Constitution should they allow the reestablishment of any State Government, without proper safe-gtiards for the rights of all citizens, and one for rebels not in arms especially making against the Natlo: against the National Government to trample on the rights of those who are now fighting the battles of the Union. Resolved, That the path of justice is also the of peace, and that, for the sake of peace, is better to obey the Constitution, and, in conformity with Its requirements, in the performance of the guarantee to re-establish State governments by the consent of the governed, and of the equality of all persons before the laws, to the end. that the foundations thereof may be permanent, and that no loyal majorities may be again overthrown or ruled by any oligarchy or class. Resolved, That a government founded on military power, or having its origin in military orders, cannot be a representative for 'government according with the requirements of the Constitution, and that its recognition will be contrary not only to the Constitution, but aAa to that essential principle of onr government, which. In the language of Jefferson, establishes the supremacy of civil over military authority.

Mr. Howard spoke at length against the proposition of the Judiciary Committee that the State government of Louisiana was a government of but a fraction of the people of that State, and would not exist if not sustained by military power. Mr. Johnson took the floor at the conclusion of Mr. Howards speech, and delivered a lengthy address In favor of the resolution as it came from the Committee on the Judiciary.

At 4:30 P. M. the Senate adjourned. i HOV8R The House passed bill appropriating as indemnity to Ambrose Morrison for his real estate In Nashville, taken by the military authorities necessary for the defence of that City. A proviso wm appended that this relief Is not to be considered a precedent to similar elsims.

The House parsed bill for the extension to J. Copeland of a patent for his improvement in boot i mips. The Home passed a resolution providing for the priming of one hundred and twenty-five thousand copies of the Agricultural Department forjiistrlbution by members of Report for 1864, the House, and fifteen thousand copies for the nse of the Commission. The Senate bill appropriating $400,000 to reimburse Missouri for moneys expended for the United 8tates wm referred to the committee of. tbe whole cn the state of the Union.

Mr. Pike offered a resolution directing the Secretary of War to Inform tbe House whether anv rpbri prisoners at Rock Island have been1 enlisted into our service and credited to quotas, of me or more States; If so, how many and; whether anv of said prisoners are still under; guard at Rock Island. The resolution was made general in scope of inquiry, and Mr. Schenck offered a resolution, which was passed, directing the Secretary of War to inform' tbe House whether aa order had been issued prohibiting persons of color leaving the District; without passes, and whether the order is still in force end in what case; Mid that the Secretary of War furnished a copy of the order to the House with an explanation or reason for making-the distinction. The House resumed the consideration of the amendatory enrolment bllL Mr.

Blain offered an amendment, that a pert eon who has been or may be drafted for one vear, who furnished an acceptable substitute for three years, shall be exempted from draft lot that period. Persons putting in substitutes fop three years were exempted for only one year. Tbe amendment wm agreed to. Mr. Schenck offered an amendment, that When it is shown that the principal has wilfully put in a proper substitute, the principal shall uke his place.

Mr. Stevens offered an 1 Mr. Tlwyer also offered an amendment. Mr. Schenck aid the members on the other ride voted against all the amendments, and would vote against the bill itself.

They did not want a draft. Mr. Odell remarked, that General Schenck not only said the majority of the Democratic members wonld vote against tbe bill, but that the Democratic party have arrayed themselves gainst the Government with almost a united Mr. Schenck I did say so, end I say so ye. Mr.

Kalbflrisch (rising from his seat, excitedly cried out) It is false, end I will tell the gentleman here or elsewhere. -When the confusion had somewhat subsided, Mr. Odell (resuming his remarks) said: It is not the first time the gentleman from Ohio has used such language against the Democratic-party, with which Odell acted.
