SPIRITUALISM IN THE PATENT Orrice —A curious application fora patent has been made by a New Yorker fora process to determine the falsity or truth of spiritualism. In con- sists of room closed perfectly, so wat all air and light is effectually exciuded. except air tor breathing, which is admitted from a stop- cock, opened from time to time. Light is only admitted by being passed through a dark biue, violet, or black liquid, so that the room is per- fectly dark to the unaccustomed eye, bui be- comes slightly illuminated when semaining tony in it, the inventor asserting tnat the par- ticles of common light are much too heavy and solid compared with the much finer constit- wents of the bodies of spirits; therefore com- mon light passes through them, and is not re- flected from their surface; to see spirits at all, the lightmust be first filtered. The room is te be painted with spirits of turpentine, or any other spirits mixed with substance akin to carbon. The inventor asserts that with these tions it may become possible for the in- of the room to see spirits, forms or ghosts. Ne claims the use of filtered lghtia u closed room for the purposes of divination. The patent was refused, on the ground that when a company of persons were for some time inclosed in such aroom, without sufficient air to breathe, they will not only see ghosts, but also give up their own. DULL TrxEs In NEw York.—The New York correspondent of the Philadelpnia Lea- ger writes: The dry goods dealers. who wore cheerful faces about the first of the month, say Febra- ary is advancing without bringing with it any increase of business, while the advices from the interior continue discouraging. Salesmen ‘wander about the warerooms with nothing to do. The leather and hide, the drag and medi- cine, and the hardware men, all join in pretty much the same chorus. There are a good Many western men here, but they are here as lookers on, as yet, and not as purchasers. The inclination isto hold back in expectation of lower prices soon for almost everything. THE Pore AND THE CoUNCIL OF BALTIMORE. The Catholic Mirror contains a letter from the Right Rev. Dr. Lamy, bearer of the dis- atches of the Council of Baltimore to the Pope. itis dated Rome, Janaary 2th. Dr. Lamy writes as follows: “The Holy Father was Tejoiced and highly pleased with the Council of Baltimore, and also to hear many particulars I gave him about the progress of the eburch in the United States; but what pleased his holiness most, and gave nim great consolation in the midst of the troubies with which his paternal heart is afflicted, was the letters addressed to him by the fathers of the council.” THE LEGISLATURE OF MARYLAND.—The bill providing for the selection and drawirg of juries in Washington, Frederick, and Car- aol counties was. in the Senate, yesterday, taker up, and after debate, was The Senate adjourned until Monday.

The bill was then read a third time and It goes back to the House for concur- rence in the amendments. Mr. Wadecailed up the bill to admit Nebras- ka. upon which the question was, Shall the bill pass the President's objections notwith- standing ! Without debate the question was decided— yeas 31, nays 9. So the bili was passed over the President's veto, and goes to the House Mr. Wade moved to take up the Colorado Dill, but subsequently withdrew the motion. Mr. Grimes called up the bill to locate the iron-ciad depot at League Island, but without debate or action thereon the Senate went into executive session, and soon after adjourned. Hover.—Yesterday afternoon— The reconstruction vill was discnssed by Mesers. Harding. Sheliabarger, Dawes, Hotch- kise, Griswold, Raymond, Garfield, and others, until halt-past three o'clock, when Mr. Stevens rose to second the preyions question. He said there were but eight days for legislation this side of @ veto, and there- fore he deemed it his duty to move the pre- vious question. Mr. ks asked Mr. Stevens for permission to make a remark, while Mr. Eldridge was ap- exling to him from the Democratic side of the ouse, At this moment the members were manifesting intense interest, and were gather ing around the neighborhood of Messrs. Banks and Stevens and the excitement seemed to be shared by the spectators in the crowded galleries. Mr. Stevens yielded to Mr. Banks, who said: Mr. Speaker, I would not oppose & vote by the House on this ques- tion at this time if I did not think there was an opportunity to do more toward the setulement ofthe difficalties in which the country is in- volved than we are doing at this time. I be- lieve that a day or two devoted to the eubject of reconstruction of the Government wili bring ustoasolution in which we shail agree, in which the two houses sball agree, in which the peopleof the country will sustain us, in which the President will give us his support. 1f we sball agree on a measure satisfactury to ourselyes. andin which-we sball be sustained by the people. and if the President shail resist it thep we shall be justified in dropping the subject of reconstruction, and considering the condition of the Government in a different sense. [Sensation.} Mr. Stevens, (referring to Mr. Banks, said, sneeringly,) Mr. Speaker, I have not the ad- van Which the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts bas of che secret negotia- tions from which he expects such perfect har- mony between the President and the Congress of the United States within a few days. If I had that advantage 1 do not know wiat effect it might have upon me. Not haying it, I can- not of course act upor it. The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Eidridge] says that the decree has gone forth that bill is vo pass. I do not know that, e seen enough of this House, and, as 1 have heretofore noticed, itis demoralized so far [laughter] that there is not enough of the spirit that seat us here to carry out the will of the people and perfect the legis- jation which the people expect. I have, there- fore, no sanguine hope that this bill is to oe forced upon the country or upon gentiemen There are words and letters in the bill (alind- ing to Mr. Bingham’s ticism of it) from the first through the whole alphabet, which some friends object to and carp at, and make an ex- Cuse for their atvacking it. 1 am quite sare that much of the opposition on both sides of this House comes from a modification of yiews coinciding with the President's views, and that bis arguments have convinced many ger- tlemen tbat his theory is the true one. (Great excitement among members, most of whom were standing im order the better to hear and Witness what was going on.) Iam unapie to learn to whatextent that bas pravailed, but after the previous question shail have beea voted upon 1 shall be better satisfied as to whether it is worth while to proceed further in Any attempt by Congress to resist the power of the President, or whether it is our duty, like humble Christians, to submitto the power that hae conquered us, and allow the South- ern people to reraain in their present condition. Mr. Banks.—in the remarks which I made, Mr. Speaker, I had no allusion to any nego- tiations with the President’ The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) knows more of bis opinions than | do, and will yield whis policy much sooner than I shall, (expressions of encouragement to Mr. Banks, and ef satis- faction with the last remark.) 1 spoke in good faith to the House, asking for time to debate this question. My reason for it is based on the simple idea, which every member can under- stand, that the measures which we propose, and one of which is mow before the House, de- pend for their byeary bw being evuacted by two-thirds of the two Houses, against the Ex. ecutive branch ofthe Government. My belief is that we cannot carry on the Government of the United States in t way—that we must have laws in which the Executive will eo-op- erate in order to make those 1a: fective. If, after we, the representatives of the people, have agreed as to what laws are necessary to secure the peace of the county and to maintain the existence of the Government, and after the people bave sustained usin those laws, the ident refuses co-operation, it is our duty to the country to drop this question of recon- struction, and to proceed to the consideration of the ition and purposes of the President himself. 1 repeat my expression of beliet that we cin, before this session closes, come to sach conclusion as will compel the President ot the United States to sustain usin our action, or as will justify as in adopting another course if he refuces. I have no negotiations with the President, nor do I know his opinion; and in the vote which I shall give on this question, neither the gentleman trom Pennsylvania, nor y other man, has @ right wo assume that I accept the President's policy in the slightest degree.
