Washington Jan. 12. ThcPrcsi-
dent to-day expressed himself indig-
nantly with respect to tho dolny in
tho admission of Virginia and said
that bo would bo inclined to voto
any bill applying further tests
t Washinoton Jan.-13. The best
opinion regarding tho admission of
Virginia is that tbo original Sennte
bill admitting that State pure and
simple will pass the Senate. The
llouse will make amendments nnd
a committco of confercrico will bo
appointed very early. It is reported
that tho admission of the State is
certain.- :' .'

and Gen. Sherman after n consulta-
tion to day directed Gen. Torry to
proceed vigorously against all flu-
gr. nt canes ofpcrjnry in organising

VTashiKciox Jan. 13. There has
been another bitter and protractod
debate to-day in both nouses on tho
bill to admit Virginia in which tbe
Conservatives have gained tbe ad-
vantage.. It ia now believed that
the bill will finally be passed to ad-
mit the state without imposing new
conditions. - . -
The President informed Senators
in a conversation to night that he
is opposed to tho proponed inter-
ference with the status of Tennessee.

WAsniNOTOX Jnn. 15. The Scn-

would be the first to favor vigorous
measures j but what is tho use of
legislation from fear of what may
be considered impossibilities:
Mr. Drake snid ho could not un-
derstand bow Uepublichn Senators
had changed front. Neither would
tho cotrntry understand it. -'
Mr. Carpenter wanted to know
what woftld bo dono wi'.b Virginia
if sho violated tho conditions pro-
posed. -. - . ; ;i .
Dr. Drako said : "Sufficient unto
tlio day is tho evil thereof."
Mr Carpcntor responed that this
was tho day for consideration that
Mr. Drake's proposition was an evil
one; that' lie (Carpcnlor) would
bavo kept tho South under pupilngo
if it took twenty-five yours but
when they did come back he wont-
ed them back as equal members in
the liimiiy of States. He wanted
Virginia to coma With the samo
rights. Ho asked: "Has Congress
n right to forco a constitution on
Virginia?' ; t ! ' - ' -
Mr. Sumner rcspondod : "Lh-
qtiostionnbly." ' Mr!Morlon maintained tho right
of Congress to.imposo conditions.
Many Senators ho sail believed
that if Virginia was admitted un-
fettered Joyal men would bo com-
pelled .to leuvo the Stale --and that
terrorism would follow if Virginia
follows tho lend of Tennessee and
Goorgia. Senators must meet the
storm of indignation from their
constituents. '
Mr. Howo favored the exaction of
conditions. ..
Mr. Schnrs said that Mr. Drake's
gripe policy would prove a curse.
. Mr. Warner favored universal
amnesty whereby bo- bofieved Re
publicans couia carry inooouin in-
stancing the case of Gen Long

ment and confirmation bad worked

Mr. Cameron ' said ho had op-
posed Gen. Longstrect's confirma-
tion and that ho could assure Mr.
Wnrnor that the peoploof tho South
would show him (Warner) no lib-
erality and assorted that no South-
ern Senator now ou tbe floor would
be re-elected. '
There ia macb doubt as to tbe ul-
tima to result. The early admissioo
of Virginia is regarded as certain ;
but the strongest opinion seems to
be that conditions will be imnosed.

Two Waoonkub Shot. Some gen-
tlemen lately from Calvert report
a fight with pistols to have taken
plnco rocontly between two wagon-
ers who woro going to Calvert with
cotton in which ono was killed and
the other mortally wounded. We
have not seen tbo -gentlemen who
brought tho news but have board
that iho two men refeirod to were in
camp and disngreed about their bed
on retiring at night; but settled tho
difficulty und slept togotlior that
night. Next morning the subject
was reagilated . nnd after a few
words they both drjJW their pistols
and commenced firing at each othor.
We do not know the names of iho
parties but havo heard they live
some where in the neighborhood of
Cedar Hill. Waxahachio Argus.
: Filt-Clad Ships. Tho Navy Ar-
chive an Austrian periodical con-
tains the statement that a new in-
vention ha been proposed to tbe
Emperor Napoleon - which greatly
diminishes the deloterious effect of
projectiles. The material employed
for Ihls purpose is a kind of felt tbe
composition oi wnicn is me- secret
of an Italian named Muratori.; This
folt preparod by powerful engines
is cast into moulds like melted metal.
When it gets cold it resists the ef-
fect of balls like tbe best steel. Used
for uniforms it resist blow by a
sabre or tho balls from a revolver.
Used as an armor it resists the ball
from a chassepot gun if it - ia - fired
at one-half of its range and is con-
siderably diminishes its effect when

A Fen Picture of IlrownloW.
Of tho writhings nnd venomous
clutching of tho. palsied Purcion a
correspondent of tho New York
World writes thus:
There is a spoctuclo in the Scnato
which ought perhaps to ruceive
but which oftcner repels the com-
misscrntion of those who look upon
it. This is tho palsied perishing
rlgnre of Parson Brownlow.
As regularly as tho noon the al-
most completely helpless old man
is assisted to his seat a hair-cloth
easy chair on tho left of tho Speaker
in which ho reclines trembling
all over and constantly liko a
shaken jelly. Seen from tho gal-
lery his swarthy face looks like that
of u muliguaiit Indian. His lips
contort themselves un pleasantly
and his hands twitching in every
finger remind ono of a couple of
spiders crawling over his legs nnd
along tho arms of his choir.
Onco.in a while tho right hand
makes a tremulous expedition to
the desk in front and returns with
a handkerchief dangling between
fingers and thumb. Sometimes
with great effort it carries a glass
of water from tho ridge of tho desk
to the old man's mouth. Part of.
tho timo ho sits wilh a leg hoisted
on a corner of the desk or crossed
ovor tho opposite kneo. He is never
motionless. - His eyes seo and bis
cars attend to all that transpires.
Wbenovor tho debato is earnest or
an interesting question is upper-
most particularly if it concerns
thf" ?oulh or bis own State of Ten-
I.C8SC6 Y.t I:-tcus to it ? it were
through every poro; tho big dark
veins on his temples grow bigger
and darker ; tho desk shakes with
the shaking of bis legs; his bands
clutch venomously at hi trowsors
and tho peculiar writhing of his lips
makes it appear as if ho would give
up all his life after that one moment
if for the moment ho had strength
to get on his feet and pour forth as
ofold a flood of vituperation upon bis
enemies. - But he has no strength
left to speak and waa compelled
tbe other day to have the personal
explanation of hi course in regard
to recent political events in Tennes-
see which ho bad prepared in man-
uscript read by the clerk. Some
expressions in it were abusive of
Butler and otber members of the
House! and the Vice President stop
ped the reading. The emotion of"
tne ayin man in tne eanj cnair o
racked (urn at this jancture that an-
other Senator pitying him request-
ed that solely on account of his fee-
ble condition the reading might be
suffered to proceed. This wa ac-
cented to. Had it been otherwise

The Democratic Lead eh in tnE

leader in tho United States Senate
which they feel proud in following.
Wo have reforence to Senator Thur-
man of Ohio. Tho Washington
correspondent of tho New York
World in spoaking ot lum says
that his mero physical appearance
is imposing and his bcaribg the
manliest that can be supposed. His
intellect is n lantern which when-
ever ho speaks fairly irradiates the
chnmbor. As a debater ho is now
confessed to stand in tho foremott
rank. Ho never speaks without
having something nny much .to
say and lhat something is always
driven straight to tho point at issue
He invariably commands the atten-
tion of tho Scnato. Few havo yet
been bold enough to cntor into bat-
tlo with him and such as have ven-
tured a skirmish with hiin havo ro-
tired wdVsted. His logic sarcasm.
and bitter or playful irony are aliko
tho best weapons ot thoir kind.
I' earless rosoluto and scornlul yet
often gontlo novor discourteous and
vcrv rarely unjust this Senator has
already mado himself fearod and
respected as on opponent and is
spoken of with great cordiality by
tuoso who have bad tbo pleasure ot
mooting him in privnto lifo.

A Brisk Village. The little vil-

of the Southern Pacific Railroad in
Harrison county Texas must be a

there before leaving and having
nothing better to do amused bim-

which arrived in town that day.
Ho counted upwards of one hun-
dred of all kinds from a two-hors

with cotton and bide. That will
do for a new place.

against th qualifying of several
whilo members a bavinir held of-
fice cngagi'd in th rebellion and
not vet relieved of their disabilities
by Congress; but amid rpplnuse
from tbo galleries all were sworn

fied. Both Houses adjourned and

that the Domocrats and Conserva-
tive Republicans will have a major-
ity in loth Houses. Tho city is
crowded and much excitement pre
vails. Iho Attorney General s op-
inion is that an citizon having

Tbere is already in Central a
Mechanics' Institute which has tho
nucleus of a fine library and a large
collection of natural minerals. Tho
population is principally composed
of mining and business men. Some
of these from the East have thoir
families with them ; and in these
rugged regions there is ome socie-
ty that ebino as brightly as the
gold and silver which are dug out
of the mountains. We feel an in-
