o but a small portion of the scene. The speech was disconnected, the sentences so incoherent that it is impossible to give an accurate report of his speech. As his sentences came up in the reporter's gallery, the statements that your President is a plebeian — I am a plebeian, glory in it--Tennessee has never gone out of the Union--I am going to talk two minutes and a half on that point — I want you to hear me. Tennessee always was loyal — we all derive our power from the people--Chief Justice Chase is but a creature of the people — I want you to hear me two minutes on that point — you, Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, derive your authority and power from the people. ("Who is Secretary of the Navy?" was then heard, in a voice of less volume. Some one responded, "Mr. Welles".)--You, Mr. Welles, Secretary of the Navy, get your power from the people. This was the strain and tone of the whole speech, mixed with a lecture to the Senate on the action of the Senate on the rebellious

tance from the President, and sat down together. They seemed very friendly. Stanton had his arm around Seward's neck, and constantly whispered in his ear. Welles sat by himself, and nobody spoke to him. Andy Johnson talked to everybody. Chief Justice Chase sat erect and dignified, evidently reflecting that he ought to be in Lincoln's place. Senator Sumner stood prominently forward, as if to attract attention. Negroes excluded ladies from the rear of the platform. Every black face beamed wlambered up, and decorated all that part with the army blue. As these masses settled into comparative order, and the mass of people on the parade below had also become still, the President was seen in the centre of the central group, with Chief Justice Chase and some of the other Chief Justices, in their gowns, seated on his left. As the President came forward, there was a cheer, but not a great one, and at the same time the sun burst through the clouds, and, though pretty well to the south,

unequalled by any others of the large company. The notabilities did not keep together or dance together, but mingled freely with the crowd. Some of the distinguished people were conspicuous from their absence. Neither Secretary Stanton, Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sprague nor Mrs. Sprague were present. These absentees were noted, and the political bearings of the fact discussed. Indeed, every incident had its political significance in the opinion of many. Because Senator Sumner escorted Mrs. Lincoln, it was presumed that the President had endorsed his reconstruction theories.--Because Captain Robert Lincoln escorted Miss Harlan, it was supposed that Senator Harlan is to go into the Cabinet.--People said that Chase and Sprague stayed away because Surveyor Wakeman had been confirmed. Politicians now catch at such straws. A nod from Mrs. Lincoln is considered equivalent to an appointment. This suggests a few words about the gossip of the ball. As Andy Johnson passed, a g

rmy scene ensued, which ended, finally, however, in the adoption of a resolution--135 yeas to 60 nays — to lay abolition petitions on the table. On the 28th January, 1840, the Twenty-first Rule was adopted — ayes, 114; noes, 108--that no abolition petition shall be received by the House or entertained in any way whatever. On the 3d of December, 1844, the rule was rescinded on motion of Mr. Adams-- ayes, 108; noes, 80. On the 25th of February, 1850, Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, presented two petitions from Abolitionists, respectfully asking the House to "devise and prepare, without delay, some plan for the immediate, peaceful dissolution of the American Union." It was decided by a vote of yeas 8, nays 162, not to receive the petition. Upon the 1st of February, 1850, the same petitions, praying a dissolution of the Union, were presented in the Senate by Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire. But three Senators voted for the reception of the petition, viz: Messrs. Chase, Hale and Sewar

, has just arrived, and brings what the Southerners evidently consider good news. Another celebrity reached here to-day, by the Shannon--Dr. Gwin, formerly United States Senator for California, and who was supposed to be about to become Viceroy of the reported ceded Mexican provinces.--As Dr. Gwin is stated to be ultra French in his sympathies, his arrival here has created some excitement. I believe he is skilled in mines and mining, and was appointed more of less officially to look after the French interests in Mexico. The Paris correspondent of the London Post, writing on the 3d of March, on American affairs, says: "The particularly weak point of the North is finance. A strange story of fraud is yet to be told. The blunders of Mr. Chase are yet to be fully known. Mr. Lincoln has as much reason to desire peace as Mr. Davis. The real friends of America seek to bring about reconciliation. They may not succeed, but their efforts are not the less worthy of encouragement."

Chase and Capture of a thief. --In our last issue we chronicled the arrest of one George Wett, a negro, for stealing money and jewelry from David McDaniel, of Chesterfield. It appears that this negro and his brother John went to Mr. McDaniel's house on the evening of the evacuation, and plundered it extensively, besides destroying many valuable papers. Yesterday morning about half-past 10 o'clock, as Mr. McDaniel was standing near the corner of Wall and Franklin streets, he discovered John West, and immediately gave chase. John fled down Wall street to the alley nearly opposite the St. Charles, and thence up to Locust alley, with a crowd in pursuit shouting "stop thief," "catch him," "head him off," &c., &c. A man on horseback joined in the chase, and finally succeeded in capturing the fugitive after a severe chase. He was locked up on the charge of horse stealing, miscellaneous robberies, and being a bad character generally.

by the President to Congress will gratify and reassure the whole country.--National Intelligencer. The late Hon. Thomas Corwin. The Postmaster-General will cause the remains of Mr. Corwin to be transmitted directly to Ohio, accompanied by some of his old intimate personal friends. The Ohio delegation, with other Congressmen, and others who were friends of the deceased, had a meeting to-day at the capitol concerning the subject of his demise, and funeral speeches were made by Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sherman, Davis, of Kentucky; Schenck, Secretary Seward and Johnson, of Maryland. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the funeral. Withdrawal of Provisional Governors. It is given out from an excellent quarter that in all of the Southern States where regular Governors have been elected, the Provisional Governors will be immediately withdrawn and their successors duly inaugurated, as in the case of Alabama.

he names of the officers are published with the evident purpose of calling the President's attention to their officiousness.] The Lawyers' test oath. There is a great deal of curiosity entertained as to the probable decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Mr. A. H. Garland, of Arkansas, who declines to take the test oath. The argument against the constitutionality of the Congressional test oath has been delivered, and it is rumored about that the court will decide against it. Mr. Chase is decieedly in favor of exacting it, but the rest of the judges do not, it is said, agree with him. Constitutional Amendments. Thirteen different propositions are now pending before the House Committee on the Judiciary to amend the Constitution of the United States, one of which, introduced by Mr. Schenck, to apportion representatives among the several States according to the number of actual voters, has been agreed on, and will probably be brought before the House next month.

side of the Long Bridge is out of order this morning. The damage prevents the working of the drawer, and was caused by floating ice in the river. The use of the Georgetown channel through the bridge will be delayed for a day or two. Chief Justice Chase opposed to the oath. It is news that many of the secessionist here claim that Chief Justice Chase is opposed to the test oath because he favors universal amnesty as an exchange for universal suffrage. Forney's Letter. Colored MasChief Justice Chase is opposed to the test oath because he favors universal amnesty as an exchange for universal suffrage. Forney's Letter. Colored Masons. Yesterday was St. John's day, and it was duly celebrated by the Masonic fraternity. Phœnix Lodge, No. 3, and Simonds Encampment, No. 12, of colored Masons, marched through the streets in full regalia, and preceded by a band. Daring Robbery. The sleeping room of the city postmaster, S. J.
