Roberts, the Peru- vian Minister and Mme. Freyre, Mrs. Williams, Baron Lederer, Hon, F. Rakentiam, Hon. P. Le P. Trench, and Mr. Franquels. — The matter of dress is one so closely allied to the subject of these paragraphs that we may be pardonod for inserting here an extract from yesterday's Capital. In speaking of the Robecon-Aulick wedding, and the dress worn by the bride on that occasion, our cotemporary says: “ She had ona walking-dress without a train. Being a sensible womao, she wears a walking-dress that leaves the sweep without infringement; and at this punc- tuation we wish to say that the loveliest woman becomes a filthy creature when she wearsa train m the street. We happenedin the other da when a fair girl came home, and in the hal gathered up the drapery that she had been drag. ging upon Pennsylvania avenue. In its fol: were found three stumps of cigars, a quid of to- bacco well masticated, no end of orange peel, and specimens of every sort of dirt to be found upon our pavements. She said that she had felt it getting heavier and heavier, until she could scarcely drag herself home. As the demi-mende, politely so called, distinguishes itself by these tra ins upon the street, it is somewhat danger. ous fora respectable woman to wear this inde- cent livery.” —The officers at the Marine Barracks held the hope that in the quarto edition of the Glove this omission will be Mr. Cole called by ones granting Pracsidio mititary reservation to the city of San Franc:s. co for & public park; which, after debate, was again laid over. - Mr. Scott called up resolution reported from S:lect Committee on Southern Sutrages. direct- ing arrest of Clayton Camp and David Gist, two recusant witnesses, of South Carolina; which Was discussed until the expiration of the morn- big beget but no action was taken on it. ‘he special order, which was the amnesty bill, then came up. A discussion ensued on this point of some length as to what was the understanding, during whieh considerable difference of opinion was developed. The motion of Mr. Morrill to lay the amnest; Dill on the table was rejected—ayes, 26; nays, 31. A proposition was then made by Mr. Wilson postpone the amnesty bill until one o’elock to-morrow, with the understanding that no vote shall be taken on that day, and this was tina'ly the following Friday evenings, from 9 to 11 o’clock—viz: January 12th and 26th, February oth.

Be contended that the House bill discriminated in a most unequal manner agairst some of the states, and Inclined to regard the Senate bill with favor. He held that if it was really judged to be necessary and a benefit to increase the number of the House, the expense should not weigh a feather in the bal- a1 Ce;bot his view was that a small House was bet- ter capable of doing the work. He had prepared a series of tables, showing the La teapmao ateach decade since the foundation of the government, and the ratio of represeniation fixed at each decade. He believed thai the representation should be increa: »d rather than reduced. If the same ratio was adhered to as at one time prevailed. a Mormon temple would not be sufficient to hold the representatives.

New York, Jan. 29.—Stokes was arraigned to plead in the Court of Tr and Terminer thir morning. His lawyer, John Graham, said be intended to move to quash the indictment; the ge jury had been given the case before e coroner's jary had given their ver- dict. The coroner kept back the fact as to whether the deceased was armed, and otherwise exceeded his authority, contrary to statate, in his anxiety to obtain a murderous verdict. The papers were clandestinely trausferred to the grand jury. The coroner, too, in violation of is previous promise, placed upon the jury a lawyer named Mannsell B. Field, whose motives were prejudiced. Mr.Graham alluded to the part taken by ex- Judge Fullerton in the obtaining of the indict- ment against Stokes, saying Fullerton became acquainted with all Stokes” private aTuirs as his counsel, and then, Stokes having refused to pay him an enormous counsel fee of $5,000, sued bim, subsequently risking his knowledge as for - el counsel to secure an indictment against tokes. The foregoing were put before the court by Mr. Graham in the shape of an affidavit. District Attorney Garvin stated that he did ba Sb pose to put in contradictory affidavits. r. Graham then asked the court to quash this indictment oe cmd grounds that the -~ of 70 regulating the sitting of two grand juries was unconstitutional, and, even “it consti- tutional, that the cow diseretion, order a vacating, presentment for homicide, and send it back to another pwd oe the Istof Feb ruary.
