Amid this de 4 Jistening assembly a old man th & keen pale face is reading something he bas wniten | jn s quaint 8nd 8ol It is s Stevens, | pessing the last word of debate upon the Amendment to 4o Constitution, which is to make treason impotent and freedom national THADDEUS STEVENS ON THE FLOOR.

Itis fesred by some that hie will never again take the floor, the turee-score-and- ars of man's life having brought fo Lim the ailings pecies, and the occasion is omi- mous from this personal circumstance as well as from the signiticance of the day’'s legislation.

THE FIRST CONGRESS APTER THE WAR. Tho present Congress is ouly less remarkablo than that which immediately preceded the war. In the interval be- tween them, the business of the country was almost en- tirely administrative. Fragmentary eketches exist of the portentous dramatic scenes which signalized the with- drawal of the Secession members. That o passive Congress, 8o far as those who remained were con- | eermed; but in this, the First Session of the Thirty- pinth Congross, the great question of Reconstruction has wriven, and the present Senate and Houss of Representa- tives will take place in Listory beside the primary Con- grese which debated and established the Federal Consti- tution. As to the speeches of that celebrated body, we %00k for the intention and the spiritual meaning of the warious clauses of the Federal compact; to this Congress audits debates we must tarn in the fature to see how | desperately Slavery died, how subtly Treason attempted to | wscape odiom and punishment, aud how, after tho long eouflict of keen wits end trained intelligences, four new arkable amendments to the Constitution went for ratification. He must be common- | va. sdeed, who ceunot rise to some intensity of in- | rest (1 noting the personages who are made remarkable ®y tius bold and benevolent legislation. THE “ RUMP" CONGRESS VERSUS THE ‘ RNOT.” Tue ravoor of that partisan organization whick through the patriotism of the people is represented in Congress by | & disappointed minority, itas stigmatized the body at large o the *“ Rump” Congre This nickuame is ot very freditablo to its contrivers by eitber its originality or its applicability. The Rump Parliament was the last patri- otic body of English delegates which ettempted to prevent the restoration of the Stuarts and tyranny. Cotemporary with this * Rump” was a mizority in the interests of the expatristed house, however, which aunswered very well to e present battered remant of the Tory Democracy. The lerest was Tepresented at that time by what was + The Knot,” ot the head of which was one Sir Richord Wyliis, s trickster with both King and Parlin- 0 nough, there was a person named Booth @cting with the ** Knot,” and he siruck the first success- 4 and bloody blow sgainst the “ Rump.” The friends of the Confederacy are welcome to the rival designation of + Knot,” aud the Booth section of it.may be properly d *the Halter. MORAL CODE OF THE PRESENT CONGRESS. The friend of republican governments, who bas often Bad cause to be wounded with the personal demeanor of Amcrican Congressmen, may find hope in the courtesy end parlismentary ¢ nee of the gentlemen now mak- fog L The pestiferous places called “Holes in the Wall " ¢ Whistle-Weetters,” and what not, are” entirely brokea up. The practice of providing liguors to every com- ittee, aud eharging it on sceount of * condngent ex- penses * or ¢ statione is altogether dispensed with. A Chrisiian code of Lonor leaves to the prudeuce and respect- fulness of members, diserimination in debate, and to public opinion, rather than the duel and the afiray, the set- Sloment of each member's capucity and honesty. When the Bouth went away to make its appeal to force, it took its Bludgeons and cowhides with it. The only attempt at per- ona! intimidation this session Las been made by a Ken- fuckisn, mcting with the Exeestive wing of the party, Mr. Rousseau; and this was & trifling episode compared to the beating of Mr. Sumner by a bully whom he never new, xd the tableau of Mr. Foote of Mississippi point- 15¢ 8 pistol in the space before the President s chiair at the Bead of Mr. Benton.

One of the idiosyn cracies of Sunsot Cox was to carry in his pockets & lot vr’{ scrap-books, loadod with figures and dates, and thoss he used to the coafusion of everybody, quoting and refuting | with most amusing pe e. Cox was very jealons of Pendl and sou; al ons to twit him. With these were Fernando Wool, for a while: s man of tact but not of record, who spoke well to the forum and was only a curiosity in Con- gress; Alexander Long, remarkable only for the hope he cxpressed that the North would not conquer; and Vallaadigham, a fair paliamentarian, who spoke with studied utterance and some intevsity, but who was the u. These are the »uly persouages of the minority who are entitled to remark o the firing of the first gun on Sumter. They have rosisted without leadership, censured without eon- victions, and heard the roplies to their specious arzuments and prophecies in the successivo guus of vietory from the armies of the Union. THE PRESENT MINORITY To seo the representatives of the p party on the floor of the House, yo Speaker's desk and look to the right. dismantled nust stand at th The | are seven of the sixth aisle—not numerous enough to fill the fourth part of the floor, so that many Uzion members are placed among them—sits the minority, at conscious disadvantoge, with faces of dejection, and in great bewilderment for want of either cause or organization. In James Brooks they lost their most pretentious associate, aud are now be filled in some sort by Eldridge of Wisconsin, a -haired man of the middle size, 40 years of age, per- haps, and of determined faco, who occupios a desk two | places from Gen. Roussea for his | libustering spirit, and when he speaks, which is infre- t, is slow and deliberate. The leader of the Demo- side, in burlesque accoptance, is A.J. Rogers of Now-Jersey, who sits aloof from his party, in the middle of the House, He is a young mau, of black | buir and mustache, very restless, and not et all impresssive in manner, resembling the average of our smart,fippant New-York lawyers at the Tombs and Jofierson Market Courts. His position on two Com- mittecs entitles him to thoe floor, and of this privilege he | avails himself at every opportanity, speaking in a high | 7, with amusing volubility and with ity of | involved rhetoric. It is the same speech always, loud, discursive, out-of-door like; aud, while it affects neither party & whit, gots great space by reason of its quantity ia the Congressional reports. Whoever lisfens to Rogers, anticipating an epigram, a novel sentiment, or any origi- nality of illnstration, will have only pains aud disappoint- of his ment. With very tolerable talent, onoe prominence might take precedenco on his own ide of the House; but be has Dot personal therofore rescnt the mock courtesy of the majority | spoakars, who inaist, upon calitng] Rogers the leader of the Opposition—a matter which leads to great badinage, persifiage aud langhter. The workiug man of the Democracy is Ancona of Berks | Co., Pa.—a small gentleman of gray hair and beard and of Isrnelitish features, who cannot speak ont of runuing debate, but w s indomitable at staving off votes and | ordering the count of the House. To this species of tacties must the mighty resort, with tho effect not to prevent but to retard legislation.

He it was who greatly confused Mr. Raymond, by supposing, when thelatter made a speech in advocacy of some measure, that this intimated his resolve to vote directly agaiust it For the by-play of legislation, Le Blond is a fair actor; to take o leading r0le he is entirely unequal. To 8o wretched representation is the Democrary reduced, indeed, that upon no issue of the session have they provoked any vehement argnment, always grambling, iterating, but never either affecting nor worrying. Pitiable is that de- bater in the forum whom the march of events has robbed of his precedents and left without a cause! Behind Randall sits the representative of the Booth, Harold aund Atzerodt district, Benjamin G. Harris of | Leonardstown, whose seven counties constitute what was the largest slaveholding section of Maryland. His Liead 18 partly bald; he has & vigorous manner, a8 deed, he is a bold and bitter enemy of the conquering freedom that pre- vails, and os, when tho Rebellion was beaten, this section its desperate assassins fled, so there bm\‘e? will keep its last drop of venom, until the remainder of the THE JOHNSON INTREREST. At the head of the little body of Congressmen repre- senting President Johuson on the floor, is Mr. Reymond of New-York, a gentleman of whose Congressional career 100 much was expected aud too mnch prowised. Tt was t0 his misfortane that the announcement was made by his friends, or himaelf, that he would not contest the seat of Mr. Schuyler Colfax. This led to invidious compurisons of his ability to flil this place, or undue anticipations of his power. Gongress has been called * the most rigorous | forwm in the world,” and it gave Mr. Raymond & rospect- ful hearing. He was listened to as the representa- | tive of the editorial ‘profession, and as the intimate scquaintance of the President. He wasfeared to be, at Jeast, oqual to leading the Johuson element of the House, and possibly the divider of the Union party. When he had been beard, he ceasod to be formidable. Opinion re- mains nuanimous that he is a feilure. The Houso demands either ability or conviction to take cmincnce in it Mr. Raymond's ability 8 in finesse, and the questions sgitating this Congress are of a character to require more a7, with some security of body, that Puriten morale and Wonhern ¢urtesy are indeed potent in the Capitol. CAPACITY OF CONGRESSMEN. While to tho wayward dyuasty who filled these seats re the war, & better heart and a softer conneel have suc- ©eedel. there is also an arrav of greater heads theu ever be- fore, probably, mede the splendid are of the House pictorial. Wo are ju the habit of lamenting the absence of tho Clusler which atimacted the pertisanship of the world Ly yoars ago, when all Congress, to the cOmmon eye, was ®ade up ofa few prineipal personages. ‘That was u period Whe the average of intelligence weslow, sudoutof the half Busdiocre, half barbaric delegation the men of talent rose ®olosssl. The statures are 1o less to-day but the average is Bigher, and in the attritiou of many wits, the fow of superior Wit tako loss corfmand. 1 have been talking with the venera- Ve Chief Phonographer of Congress, Mr. Sutton, whose emory of Representatives i« faithful, and he said: « The tes are not as dreary as they used to be, though there e 1o great dictators us before. 1 dou't think that Mr. ) oF any of the great men pagt, would bave the same Sy time, if they were here now.” The Thirty-ninth j of Representatives is concedod to be the most Mreditable in volut of wholeness that ever sat i the Capi- 4 solid abilities. He has been able to talk adroitly without indicating at all his convictions, ifhe has them, snd, had he been capable of vigilant leadership, the recent chance to bear down the third clause of the Reconstruction measures would have demonstrated it. Fortuitous Re- publican and Democratic cobperation defeated this, and Mr. Raymond seems since to have lost Leart in the Presi- dent's fortunes. Hoiss small man, of large forebead, and @ dissatified expression. He has spoken ofien, each time with lessening attention; but in intercourse he is courtly and in personality guarded. As & power, Le existed before ho took his seat; scarcely subsequently. Close before Mr. A. J. Rogers, aud well down toward the Speaker, sits Chas, E. Phelps of Maryland, elected 8 Unioniet, but an advoeate of “ My Policy.” He was oue of the early oceupiers of Richmond after the surrender. There are fewer supporters of Mr. Johnson in the House than of the Rebellion. Neither individually nor by fusio have they made mark. THE PATRIARCH OF THE IOUSE.

He ed & Unionist, but the majority of Congressmen thet he bardly sustaius the role Le was elected to take. 1n another part of the House stands a lithe, small per- son, bardly beyond boyhood, with eyes and hair of mid- pight black, yet looking aud moving like & tiger. This is John K. Kelso of extreme Southern Missouri, who is said to heve killed more than 60 Rebels with his own band. He is searred and shot from sole to crown, and in the border episodes of the war hiolds a strange wild promi- nence, where in the bitterness of the fight he retorted upon individoal Rebels the violence they inaugurated, and hunted tser, alone and persistently, like oneina vendetta. Here he is quiet, amiable, grave; but this stud- ded roof, and its soft emblematic medalhions, are in odd consonance with the dark and bloody vistas he has baunted. THE POTENT STATES.

Garficld of Obio, whom the war brought forwa: in bold relief, now at the head of a devoted constituency, embracing the Ashtabula district, and the unearther of mileage abuses, He was s Campbellito preacher for a while, and a school teacher very long; when Le took the field for the Union Le led all his scholars into battle, and his mili- tary record is straightforward and manly. He, it was, who discovered in the rauks the favorite Western artist and journalist, Frank Mason of Clevelund, and gave hima captainey that be might embellish the campaign it the pages of The Atlantic Monthly and elsewhere, Gen.

He is still young; his light hair and open countenance making his appearance pleasant; and no considorable question arises that he docs not inter- est Limself in,as of many he is the suggestor. In the presont Congress there are five senators and twenty-eight reproscntatives who bave been schoolmasters. RICH CONGRENSMEN. The man of the inflexible, searching face, who sits well apart to the left, is Ienry L.

Of these capitalists, Ames is the great manufacturer of shovels, and bis handicraft bLas opened the iunumerable placers of California and Colorado. Gen.

He is o largo, black-Laired, farmer- like man, who raised & brigade of soldiers among Lis ten- snts and laborers. Grinnell, the thom in the eide of Gen.

THE AJAX OF THE HOUSE. It has been asked how aud why Thaddeus Stevens camo before the country with all-absorbing prominence so late in lifo, and what characteristics he possesses to merit his apparently entire sutlority. The answer to this is erisp enough; he is a man of long and consistent convietion; of thorongh legislative experienco, and of great argument and adroituess. Thero are speeches oxtant of this states- man delivered 30 years ago, which grasp with startling accuracy all the issuce verified in the present.

When the war began, he was perhaps the only man who saw ixl it the downfall of Slavery, and he devoted himself from the booming of the first gun to the reconstruetion of the country, so that not only might Slavery and Rebellion be annihilated, but all the atrocious prejudices aud passions of its partisans. His position was an advanced one, When the ovents brought other men to him they admitted his sagacity and discovered his intel- lect. Heo is & man of bold thoughts, of broad scope of ae- tion, full of mary amiable tendernesses, but inflexible in his devotion to freedom, and his potentiality is the natural issue of superior exporience and resistioss will. Maay of his violent enunciations have a diplomstic purpose; he takes & placo on the #kirmish line sometimes that the battle-position may be ehosen well-np. He is prompt to recognize justice in an adversary, as witness his forgive- ness toward Mr. Simon Cameron, when the latter, in the early part of the War, declared for arming the blacks. His hupon the constitutional amendment tells better than any analysis the secrot of his eminence: “ In my youth, in my mankeod, and in wy old age, I bave dly dreamed that when any fortunate chauce sioald bave up for a time the fousdatious of onr Institutions, snd Loased us from obligatione the most tyrannical tha | ever imposed in the natne of freedom, tie intelligent, free and | just men of this Rep trun to thelr prolessions aud their cieneo, would b remodeled oll onr institutions as to bared thew from_every yestige of buman oppression, of ts, of recognized degridation of the rided Kepublic but that a il aL Dusisg lis poliical Life ugon this broad Lumanitarian . wish, Thaddeus Stovens Mas stea Uly risen in greatness as his platform became recognized. cfore, to-day, he is the foremost figure in Congress, and Mistory must agreo | with the great p ght minds a2ound him, that s0 will Le piv>al and en- TIIZ GEEAT LOSS. In tho death of Henry Winter Davs, the House sus- hined the loss of its most polished and effective ora ‘or. | Tis was a etature which would be prominent in any grou™ ing. Me had a positive mind, and a hard life in which to | work it. Mis excentive enterprise was cqual to Lis forensie eiideavors, His last political campaign in Maryland was & veritable zoup d'etat, and be probably hed more of the real genius o’ s statesman than any Congressman of the war. His strong, handsome physiognomy, lit up with fire, yot alvays buminz to eonquer, seldom to ornement, must be conspicuously set in any picture of those hopeful sessions. Iis loss is generally said to be second in calawi- tousncss only to Mr. Lincoln's, * When he did use the Jewelry of rhetoric,” said Mr. Creswell, “ he would quictiy set a metaphor in his page, or throw a comparison into his speech, which would serve to light up with startling dis- tinetness, the colossal proportions of his ergument. Of humor ho had none; but his wit and sarcasm at times would glitter Jike the brandished scimeter of Saladin, and, descending, would cut as keenly. The pathetic he never attempted; but, when angered by a malicious assault, his inveetive wes consuming, and his epithets would wound like pellets of lead.” The literature of Congress has no better paragraphs than | these to show—the spoutaneous delivery of Davis: Having vowed o stasd a Listory 02 the great resolye to ne- cept of mothing but victory or ruin, victery is ours. And if with sach herolo resolve we fall, wo fail with honor, and trans- wit the name of liberty, committed to our keeping, untar- nished, Logo down to futars generations, The historian of our decline and fall, ronltmyl:‘unf the rains of the last great Re- public, and drawing from its fate lessons of wisdom on the waywardness of men, shall drop o tear a8 be records with s row the vain beroism of that people who dedicated and sacri- ficed themselves to the cause of freedom, and by their example will keep alive her worahip in the hearts of men il happier generations sball learn to walk in her patbs, Yes, sir, if we must fall, let our last hours be stained by no weakness. If we must fall, lot us stand amid the crash of the falling Ropubiic aud be buried in its ruine, so that history may take note that men lived in the middle of the 19th “llll'{ worthy of s better fate, but chastised bydlod for the sins of their forefathers.

Aud let Liberty, erown: less and childlesy, sit upon these ruins, crying aloud in a sad wail to the natiops of the world, I nursed and brought up children and they have rebelléd against me.” LESSONS FROM FRANCE. A remarkable advance in the true democratic sentiment of Congress is noticeable in the frequency with which the French Revolution is cited on the floor. Thus Senator Creswell has called it * the foundation of all that is now tolerable in Europe,” and Judgze Kelley has made the coup d'ctats of the First end Third Bonaparte, subjects of illustration of the insidions career of the President. Iu former times, under a pro-Slavery regimé, none went over this glorious era but to denounce its Jacobin acts, At present, Congress looks to it for examples of individ- ual power and for a splendid philautbropy, whose work 18 going on forever. G AT CHICAGO. —— THE EXCITEMENT AMONG THE FENIANS AND THEIR SYMPATHIZERS—GROWTH OF THE CITY: ITB' RES- IDENCES AND MANUFACTURES—DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINE ARTS. Correspondegce f T1.. N. Y. Tribuve. Cucaco, June 12, 1866, The Fenians, o course, fill the local eye here as olse- where just now, although there is uo such enthusiasm among the masses as the leaders represent. Not more than 50 men are to be seen about the military headquarters at a time, and of these 50 not less than 40 sun themselves as calmly as frogs in August. Once in an hour, perhaps, some active young lientenant passes with a swordless belt, buckled at “U.8." a faded eavalry jacket rebound with green, and s bustling air of would-be business. The newsboys inquire if his mother knows he's out,” at which the loafers langh, and the lieu- tenant colors, grins and quickons bis pace, No demon- strations more perilous to the peace and dignity of the Uited States, have occoered in our midst as yet. Itis understood that squads of recruits are daily leaving town, 1n w perfectly quiet way, and of course there are rumors of | concealed amns to mat Three doys ago, overtures were | made to the agent of the Mickigan Central, iu.;&lylnz trans- portation for a large nu of men, say 1,500, The ap- proack was repelicd with spirit, and _the would-be con- tractor promptly shown the door. The President of the | Michigau Southern was equally firm, and the reduforce- Tments, if forwarded, went very quictly and by some other route. The British and Canadian elements are far the most dis- turbed. ‘They are surging about with vim enough to raise & tea-pot tempost. 1t is wmusing to our people, who so recently had & sizable war on baud, to witness the frantic fright of the little bulls at & whiflet’s barking. A car-load of young Euglishmen went off to defend Her Majesty’s froutier, as soon as the first rumor of trouble came, sacri- ficing situations and prospects without s second thought. The two features of our business season are, the building of dwell ouses and the investment of home capital in manufactires. The demand for residences is simply aston- ng. 'Thousands of houses are constantly going up, snd g;.»: 00 houses are tobe had. A real estate agent tells me that o recently witnessed the purchase of lumber by o single eap for 500 cheap dwellings, to be ready for oceupancy within three months, On * moving day” & number of families applied to the police to ¢ject their predecessors in <idenco who refused to vacate on the ground that they b ately no roof to shclter their heads, and could find noue, botter or worse, The resources of the suburbs are, at the same time, rapidly dev Not less than 15 traing arrive every morning and leave every evening, laden with business men | who spead only the business bours iu town, residiog 10, 20, 30 and even 60 miles distal | Tho smount of wanutacturin the city limits is far greater th and the indications aze that th | mear future. The building of a city is task of some magnitude: the 1 sn_enterprise of formiduble proportions. Our pe ve been summoned to create the metropolis of an empire upon the floor of a dismal warsl, aud to inish it within u single generation. This, l(:’m, was (o be doue without woney, and slwost without s, The task is 80 far done that nearly all the Eastern loans are repaid with the earnigs of honest labor and legiti- mate commerce, and we have the nest-eggs of surplus capital 1o invest in independent factories. We build our own ships, muke our engines, cast our own stoves, make our own -Lxm, make our own watches, | roll our own rails, make our own paper, build our own wagonw, carmiages, s and railway coaches, grow cano and turn it into suger on the same field, grow wool and finish broadeloth in the same township, Aud in & fow months we shall finally wear the glory of New-England; for beforo the suow ilies agaiu, Chicago clocks will tick in every North-Western State. A Com- r.my with » puid in cash”capital of a quarter of a million s rapidly finishing 1ts buildings, and will soon be ready to fill orders; the ouly clock company west of Connecticut. One watch company, which began two years ago with an investment of $100,000, has, within & week, invested $50,006 wore, 10 meet the demands of the trade, and must soon add another $30,000 or $100,000. For when I say that we make our own shoes, rails, watches and wagons, 1 must not be understood too literally. We of the metropolis are required to make clothing and utensils for our broud empire—an empire of which most Eastern wen have about as just a conception as most En- ghi-bmen bave of the United States. Our wholesale trade is immense. A single fleet of lumber-laden vessels re- contly arrived with & cargo of fiftecu. millions of feet, and whother tho market was cloyod you may infor when | add that every foot of it was sold to wrrive, and the next day tho market was stiffer than ever. Of course, » very large proportion of this was im- mediately transferred to the railway to go inlaud, sowo of it bundreds of m The arts are not all mechanical and rude—the arts which employ us in theso * back settloments " 1t is a matter of course that we are somewhat utilitarian in taste as yet; thero is 1o other taste able to build a city in o decade and & metropolis in three. But we begin to take breath, and & fow begin to find leisure. ‘I'he growth of the fine arts has been very rapid within the last three years, Three years ago there was not a third rate picture shop in the “city, 1ot & gallery of any sort, ner o studio of more than ordi- pary merit, nor au opers houso. Now we have at least ready carricd on within ur own citizons know, esent will be lost in the three picture stores of merit, each of which doing & large and profitable business; a gem of & gallery. a dozen promising studios, and the inest opera house on the con- tinent. [u the residences of our wealthior citizens are found many choice purchascs from Kastern markets; in the fl""" @ large number, a8 was first discovered when contributions were invited for exbibition in the Art of the great Sanitary Fair. ‘IA '?“hm %r:lol of th ;d‘uulu ent of taste is the o le of the choice en, ng of Carpenter’s picture of the Reading of the I'mfi:uu%n, for which :lpl‘. difflcult to meet the demand.

A Broadway publisher, regently here for the first time, told me that he knew of no establishi- ment in New-York superior to the chief book houss here. We can alregdy furnish_the brains, the paper, the h { oo the ink, the engravings, the stereotyping, the binding an the readers for a trade larger tuan the entire trade of the country was 50 years ago. To bo suro, we have no dic- tionary of our own, lut.l.finll have none a8 long as the new Websier wears; but we can wake one whenover wo shall Thess notes of growths will be unfortunate if they aro mistaken for Westorn brags. They are notes from a New- York pen, serving o pair of New-York eyes that beve seen n gm(i show of the good sights on the continent and have 0 preforenco for prairies as such. Four-fifths of the business men here are from New-England or New-York, mostof them residents of less than 10 years, They are trywng, havi a room for the first time, to sce what good thiugs wiligence and pluck can do; aud their gucoess is the woud furtuue uf the whale counter. e LAW INTELLIGENCE. ——— UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE—Juxe 18 Bofore Commissioner Berrs, R 1_»57;..\'1::;: OF SATLORS. he application of the Ham! the crew of num‘d:lp Borussia -fi‘m’" dzm" 3 to await tie requi C wutiuous aud dunn.q" “"u‘;)I; :Jnm'_'-ond. hg e SUPREME COURT—GENGiAL _TRaM—JUNE 15.—Before 19, Justioss BamNaw, P.
