the gavel of the Speaker called to order the second session ne Fortfett Congress. Jn the Senate, the Chaplain prayed that with clear 'minds and strong hearts, the Senators might be enabled to perform the work before them. In the House; that as God had been pleas ed to 'give to Congress wisdom in times past to settle properly so many great questions, He would arm them anew with wis dom from on high to meet every great is sue which would be presented hereafter; that there might be no faltering -on any i great measure, but that everything should be dene so as moie fully to secure the rights of man. Senator Pomeroy presented three peti- JTOm Atchison, one from I Connecticut, and one from Delaware ask- inS that Congress establish impartial suf- frage wherever its' jurisdiction extends, which were referred to Committee on Dis trict of Columbia. Senator Ross introduced a bill, which was read and ordered to be printed, which provides that the terms of the fourth arti cle of the treaty of the 29th of September, 1865, with the Osage Indians, be so con strued as to embrace all lona fide settle- i ments made prior to the proclamation of I said treaty by the President, January :21, 1867.

Many other minor resolutions, and I bills have been presented and referred.

The President's Message was presented, referred to Committee on Printing, and elicited sharp debate, both as to its having been presented to the public before reach ing uod cress, and on account of laneuase declaring that in passing the reconstruc- lion acts congress naa -assumed un- granted and that many of the pro visions ef those acts "are in conflict with the direct prohibitions of the Constitu tion," and as "plainly unconstitutional as any that can be imagined." The Senate discussed a resolution expressing that they do Hot propose to silently permit such departure3 from official propriety and obliga tion to pass without reprehension. This will be a working session of great interest. Both Douses apnear to eranule promptly and earnestly with the great National questions now engrossing public attention.

ATCHISON, DEC. 13 1867. naraball Ceanty, Kaa On recent visit to thia fine towD, we took some notes, on which, until the pres ent, we have not been able to enlarge. The beautiful weather at that time added a to the trip, and gave te all the surroundings of Irving a genial and attract ive appearance. But no change in the weather no difference of seasons can make a permanent change in the attract iveness of Irving, as a desirable place of settlement.

THE LOCATION is in a bend of the Blue, as that stream sweeps in graceful Curve along On' the us OSSt, and the bluffs bend OUt generously to the west, leaying a most beautiful tract of land withn these semi-eircles, which rises gradually from the river and from the foot of the bluff to the center, making a site that is dry and pleasant at all seasons. On the bluff stands the 1 WETMOBB INSTITUTE, a school established by the energetic labors of some of the first settlers.

The Institute is a stone building, so situated as to over look the town and a large section of coun try. With railroad Tacili ties the school cannot fail to be prosperous.

Washinjrton. Dec. 12 The President late this afternoon teat to the Senate in Executive Mbsion. a cenfi dential document, settin.

forth tbe reason for tae suspension of Secretary Stanton The President dwells stronfflr on ihP point wai mere wis a total lack of har- ulOtlT between Seo'v Stanton and himself. net. He says he bad given Mr. Stanton to understand on several occasions that Lis resignation would be accepted, but that 1.0 notice was taken of bis action in this rezard. Ho eharges that at the lime of the New Orleans mot, Stanton was fully aware of the danger of a general orrtbreai, but thai withheld the dtspatch coacerninc the situation of the President, for eleven da vs.

thus putting out tbe power the Execu tive to order takin-r nf prevent a riot, and while the country rang uuia uue caa iv ine otner witu aouee Ol the President. The President in civiiie bis summary of Stantons views, seeks to show that his opinion' at first and for some time were the same as those of the Executive and other members of tbe Cabinet. He then takes tho point that Stanton changed, and without signifying uch Change, did'all he could as head of the War office, to thwart and interfere with policy of the administration, The document does nek show or bint any malfeasance in office on the part of Mr. Stantonbut makes it very plain that there was bitter hps tifltyibt-tweeii him and tbe President. Ho argues the tenure of office 'act as clearly and flagrantly uneonstitutional in wbicn opinion be is sustained by tbe Cabinet, and he holds that he would have' a perfect right td remove Mr.

Stanton at once, but is willing to leave the case with senate. The messare was read and referred to Military Committee. i There was some talk about removing tbe of secrecy, mny Senators thinking tnat, as it was a matter of public interest. ought to be made public. Others said it ne uaa Men nearu.
