SENATE. Washington, July 12. Mr. DIXON stated that he was unavoidably absent vesterday when the vote on the reconstruction bill was taken ; if present he should have voted against it. Mr. CHANDLER called up his resolution on Mexican affairs, and made a speech justifying the execution of Maximlliuu. He hoped that Congress would not adjourn without an expresson, not only of sympathy but aid if need be, to Mexico. If any European monarchy determined to fight Mexico, it must rlffht the United States also; and when it would, the whole world could not whip the United States on American sou. Mr. WILSON a?ked that the resolution be laid aside to allow him to ofTer a bill authorizing the Secretary of War to raise four regiments of volunteers for frontier defense, and appropriating $1,048,000 to pay troops already called out for that purpose. Mr. TIPTON obtained leave to offer a bill for a similar purpose. Both bills were ordered to be printed. The resolution of Mr. 'Chandler was re sumed. Mr. FO WLER spoke against the policy of the Government toward Mexico during ner strufrslo for freedom. Ho reviewed the His tory of Mexican troubles, and justified the execution of Maximilian. Mr. JOHNSON could see no practical re suit likely to flow from this resolution. It was a mere inquiry, without any legislative action, as he understands the facts They were not set forth in the resolution. The decree of 1805 was only Intended to apply to brigands and guerrillas. Maximilian would have given Mexico a better government than she ever had. Mr. NYE spoke in favor of the resolution, lie regarded Mexico as naturally belonging to the United States. He eulogized Juarez, He was a irreat and cood man.Svho, through out the war, had, like Lincoln, led the Government armies to victory. He (Mr. Nye) bad no sympathy with those Imported mon-nrchsthat come to sublimate, and not Invlgo- ate. a country. Thecnllglitened worm would sav amen to the fate of Maximilian. Amer ica, while it regretted his death and admired his bravery, could not deny that his fate was a just one. He advocated a Kinuiy ana ira ternal policy towards Mexico, and substan tlal aid if necessary. Mr. HOWARD thought it fair to presume that the court-martial before which Maxi milian was condemned acted fairly, and In accordance with the laws of war. lie spoke of the decree of October, 180o, as most in human and barbarous the murderous decree of a tcmnorarily successful highway robber, aud, In his opinion, Maximilian met a Just fate. As friends of Mexico and the Hide pendence of nations, It became the Senate to stand by Mexico in ner struggles agaiusi imperialism, which had just been overthrown Mr. YATES thought this subject deserved more discussion than it had received, and therefore moved its further consideration be postponed, and that the Senate go Into Exec utive session. The Senate went into Executive session and soon after adjourned. iioise. Mr. JULIEN asked leave to Introduce a resolution directing the committee on Recon struction to report a bill declaring forfeited to the United States all lands granted by Congress in 1850 to the States In the South for railroad purposes, which grants expired bv limitation. 'Mr. WOOD objected. Mr. JULIAN moved to suspend the rules, aud said there were now 5,000,000 acres of the best lands In the South tied up in the hands of rebel conspirators at the expense of the poor man, white and black, while the blacks should have some for their homesteads, Mr. CHANDLER, as a member of the select committee on Southern Railroads, stated that the relation of those roads to the Government was still under Investigation, and argued that the action proposed by the resolution would be premature. Mr. JLLIAN expressed a willingness to modify the resolution so as to make It one of inquiry merely. Mr. UilAJNDLMt argued tunt it was a special question and should be referred to the special committee having that matter In charge. On motion the rules were suspended and the resolution modified so as to confine Its operation to Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana, and referred to tho select committee on Southern Ral'roads. Mr. STEVENS, from the Committee on Reconstruction, reported back the Senate Re construction bill, with several amendments, mostly verbal, as a substitute for the first sec tion, declaring the true Intents and meaning of the act of March 2, 1807 , that the govern ments then existing In the rebel States were illegal, and, therefore, such governments, If continued, were to be continued subject in all respect to military commanders aud authority of Congress. Among tho new sections reported Is one directing that none of the olllccrs of tho registration "shall pay regard to tho decisions or directions of tho Attorney General, or any other ofllcer of tho government, except as directed by Congress. Tho bill was debated until half past three when Mr. STEVENS moved the previous question, calling for the votes on tho various amendments. Tho amendment substituting tho first section or the House bill for that of tho Senate was adopted. The amendment referring to allowing general decisions, was modified to read : "no district commander, or ofllcer of board of registration, shall bo bound In his action by an opinion of any civil ofllcer of the United States." - Agreed to. All other amendments were agreed to, and the bill, as amended, goes back to the Senate. Adlournod. ILLINOIS. Hailrond Collision Ono OTau Killed Several Passengers Slightly Injured. Chicago, July 13.

RAHLR0AD CONVENTION AT TOLEDO. The Columbus and Toledo Hoad. J. R. Osborn was chairman, and D. R. Locke secretary. The morning session was taken up organizing. There was a very large attendance from the counties on the proposed line of the road. Columbus was represented by General Day, Win. J. Fell, W. B. Brooks, aud others. A letter was read from M. M. Green, Esq., of the IIoAlng Valley Road. Mr. Day, of Columbus, rose to correct an impression created by the letter of Mr. Green, that while the Hocking Valley R. R. declines to afford material aid to the proposed road, yet he was authorized by the delegation to say that the citizens of Columbus were prepared to help .'the enterprise by all the moral and material aid in their power, and that the Convention might depend upon the hearty cooperation of that city In the objects they had in view. Divers resolutions were discussed, and the following, offered by Mr. Hall as a substitute for resolutions reported by a committee, were finally unanimously adopted : Itemized, That the best interests of Toledo and Columbus, and the Intermediate couutry, demand the early construction of a railroad on a practicable line, ..between the points named, due regard being had for" the settled Interests of the country. - Remlwd, That Columbus and Toledo arc hereby requested to organize a company, by procuring the necessary articles of incorporation, to be called the Toledo and Columbus Railroad Company. Revived, That said company, after the same is Incorporated, is hereby requested to em ploy a corps of competent engineers to survey and ascertain the practicability and cost of the several routes between the two points named, and that the reports of the engineers shall be made public from time to time. liemined. That the expenses or said sur veys shall be paid by au equitable assess-ent on the counties Interested In said surveys.Jleioleed, That as delegates to this Conven tlon, we pledge our respective counties to re spond promptly In the payment of such requisitions.Itt'iolted, That certificates for all monies advanced for or paid on account of tho pre liminary surveys, shall be received In pay ment of stock subscriptions at their par value, with six per cent. Interest. Tho following resolution was then unanl niously ngrccd to : JUnoloed, That the olllccrs of this Conven tion bo authorized to call a meeting of cltl zens of Toledo and Columbus, Interested In this project, for the purpose of selecting corporators and organizing tho Toledo and Co lumbus R. R. Company, as provided for In the resolutions adopted by this Convention, said meeting to bo held al the Oliver House In tho city of Toledo, on Thursday, July 18th, at 10 o'clock A. M. The thanks of the Convention were tendered to the Chairman and Secretary, when the former announced that a steamer had been provided by the Toledo Committee of Arrangements, for an excursion to the lake. The Convention adjourned. Tho Blade says editorially : Tho Hocking Valley Railroad meeting yesterday, was of a character to please all con cerned, and afforded satisfactory assurances that tho enterprise) will not be allowed to sleep. Tho points Interested sent their best men to represent thein, and liberal pledges of material aid were mado on every hand. Five routes were represented, but there was a general disposition manifested to sink prlvato claims In public advantage. The delegates expressed themselves satisfied with tho city, with their reception, and with tho prospect of early and complete success. A full and complete report of tho proceedings of the Convention will be found below, to which we refer our readers. The Paris correspondent of the New Bedford Mercury, In giving a description of his traveling companions, says: "Some come hero to see, and others to bo seen ; and whllo at tho bible iChote of tho Grand Hotel, ono sits beside an American lady resplendent with diamonds and precious stones, who with coarse grating tones says "them air things arc mighty small," on tho other sldo he sees the lovely, modest American woman, whose smllo lightens up tho loneliness of poor wayfarers like mysolf, and causes him to be thankful that shoddy has not eclipsed tho beauties of the trut American lady." ;. LITERARY. . Louisa op Prussia and Her Times. This Is neither a Novel nor a Romance. It has neither plot nor denouement. There Is no catastrophe except the catastrophe of finishing the book. It has neither hero nor heroine. It might as well have been called Frederick Geutz or Marianne Meier, or by the name of any other one of half a hundred characters mentioned In It, as Louisa of Prussia. As for this latter, the most noteworthy thing she does is to have her shoulder bitten by Hlmmel, the composer. She Is uuromantlc enough to love her own husband, and not another woman's, and so of course is not a heroine. She is beautiful, hut she wastes her beauty on her husband. The book Is a mere historical episode, without entire historical accuracy. It does not develope any special aim as a historical episode, nor does it once bore us with a suspicion of endeavoring to show us "history teaching by example" for which we are grateful. In all cases where the writer might be suspected of endeavoring to seduce us into taking actual history for romance, wc are carefully guarded from any such error, by notes informing us that she has used "Napoleon's own words," or has quoted literally from "Memolrcs d'un Homme d' tat," or some other equally reliable authority. We cannot be sufficiently thankful to her for guarding her readers in this manner. In this way the ingenious minds of our novel readers are kept pure, and they are enabled to reject everything having a semblance of historical accuracy, nud store their minds only with the undoubted Inventions of the novelist.The illustrations are astonishingly bad. In the first, Napoleon Is presented to us as an enraged pedagogue, in top boots. He seems to be scolding two frightened looking old boys for breaking a mug on the floor. Iu the "death of Prince Lichtenstelu" the prince looks very much like an Inebriated comic actor trying to vomit. Notwltstandlng all this, the book is a de lightful one to read. It Is vastly more entertaining than any other work by the same author which we have read. Published by Appletous, and for sale by Glcason. PERSONAL, Mit. Carl Rosa Is on a visit to Europe. Kossuth Is at Aix-les-Balus, in Savoy. Edwin Booth has closed his engagement of thirty nights iu Chicago, and, it Is said, clears $17,000. The report that Gen. Rosecrans had allilia ted with the California Democracy, and was willing to accept the Gubernatorial nomination at their hands, required no denial. The late Gov. King of New York, while at school at Harrow, England, was a class mate of Lord Byron, Sir Robert Peel, and other noted men. Hon. Eliiiu B. Washiiurn of Illinois, at last accounts, was at Hombourg, a famous watering place near Frankfort. His health Is Improving. There Is an old man In Taunton, Mass., aged seventy-three, who has listened to live thousand and seven sermous In his life. He has survived them all.

A Paris letter, referring to tho Princess of Wales In her Illness, says: " It would be difficult to say to what an extent she Is endeared In tho popular Imagination ; and there arc few people In tho country who have not felt her Illness as a personal grief and anxiety to themselves. .Much has been said about tho apparent carelessness of tho Prince, without, I think, foundation. Ho Iscxtrcmely fond of her, and wo may bo sure that u ho rides and goes to Paris, and goes alwut as usual, It Is by her most express desire.' For the Ohio Stats Journal. RESOLUTIONS OP EESPE0T. Washington-, July 10, 1867. At a meeting convened pursuant to call at the rooms of J. C. Wetmore, Esq., No. 250 F street, Washington City, D. C, July 8, 1807, to take action in relation to the recent death of Hon. David Rees, of Ohio, and late Clerk In the General Land Olllcc iu this city, Chief Justice Chase was called to the chair, and H. M. Slade appointed to act as Secretary. On motion the following Committee was ppolnted to draft resolutlns, expressive of the sense of the meeting, viz: Hon. James A. Garfield, A. M. Gangewer, Esq., Hon. Wilkin Helmick, J. Van Otl'enbacher, Esq., and J. C. Wetmore, Esq.; when the following were reported and after appropriate speeches oy Messrs. uangewcr, Wetmore, Garfield, rench, Helmick, Slade, and Olmsted, were unanimously adopted : ' Whereas, In the Providence of God. it has pleased Him to call to himself our old friend and coadjutor, David Rees ; therefore licsoived, llmt we, as citizens of Ohio, and friends of the deceased, deplore his departure IVom among us ; but we do not sorrow as those ho have no hope, for we know that our loss his gain. llcwlved, That in all the relations of life. as a citizen, as a legislator, as a lover of his' country, as a friend of the human race, as a kind husband and father, and a faithful and reliable friend, wc will cherish his memory as one of the excellent of the earth. Ilemmd, That we especially bear in affec tionate remembrance his exertions in behalf of the wounded soldiers of Ohio duriugthe recent rebelliou.iu which labor he was persistent and Indefatigable, and as a member of the Ohio Soldiers' Relief Association, he was al- ays prompt and ready to do what he could for their relief, and many of that class will regret to hear of his decease. Jlesohwl, That we condole with hlsaftlicted family in their sore bereavement. Jtewloed, That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the ofllcers and transmitted to the "family of our late friend. Upon motion of Mr. Helmick, It was resolved to request the publication of the proceedings of the meeting In The Morning Chronicle and In the Columbus (Ohio) State Journal. II. M. Slade, Sec'y. The following Is from a London letter : I was one of a congregation of twenty-five thousand people In the Crystal Palace one lay liood Friday the preacher being Mr. Spurgeon. I was underneath the pulpit which had been erected, and near me was Mrs. Spurgean and the 'deacons. When the preacher went up the stairs Into the pulpit, lie looked over the dense mass of people with perfect composure, but his wife grew nervous and frightened, and her tears fell fast In the excitement of the time. This was observed by Mr. Spurgeou, who beckoned one of his friends to him, and sent an entreaty to his wife that she would sit a little closer under, so that he should not witness a feeling which he could do nothing to check. When this wish had been carried out, and the lady could not see her husband, she soon regained her composure. Un tnat morning every body heard. Without the slightest exertion, and speaking, apparently, n the tones he would use in a room, Mr. Spur geou sent his words out rounded and com plete, not one falling short of the entire space. A little while ago, I heard Professor Jewett preach In the nave of Westminster Abbey, and, as an admirer of that learned and excellent man, I was In pain the whole of the sermon, for I thought he would really break a blood vessel, so much did ho strain his voice in the generous endeavor to reacli every ear. But Spurgeons voice is or that quality which Is Independent of physical effort. At the close of the service he gave out tho Doxology, and after It had been sung ho got up, shook his liead and waved nis hand, and said In the easiest way lra- agltablc, "no, no ; that won t do at all. Not half of you sung that time. Mr. Organist, let's have that again, please; and this time let every body sing." The organist was at the extreme end. He looked like a bird, or a mouse. But he turned round on his stool, put his hand behind his ear, and when Mr. Spurgeon had finished his say, wheeled round to the keys and played Old Hundred again. This time all appeared to sing and the effect was wonderful. It was as though a nugo block of sound had come from somewhere. THE PORT GRAPE IN NEW JERSEY. The following cannot fail" to satisfy any sceptical persons about Spcer's wine being purely a grape juice wlue : Passaic, Oct. 23, 1865. This Is to certify that I have beeu a resident of Passaic for the past twelve years, during which time I have known Mr. Alfred Speer, and been thoroughly pasted in the manufacture by him of his celebrated wines, nud can testify to the fact derived from a personal knowledgo that his excellcut Port Grapo Wluo Is mado entirely from the Oporto Grape, which he extensively cultivates In vineyards In sight of my rcsidcuce. Tho Port Grape vine Is a variety of his own raising, cultivated exclusively by himself, and Is a superior grape. C. M. K. Paul'ison, U. S. Deputy Collector Int. Rev. Our druggists have some of this wine, direct from Mr. Speer. The Lewlstown Journal tells the following: A sturdy little four-year old boy was traveling up street tho other day, In a very Independent anddont-carc-atlveuianner,wheh ho was met and accosted by a young 'ndy who knew him. The little fellow deigned no reply, which caused tho young lady to re mark : "Why, Charlie, don't you know me?" Young America very dlgnlllcdly responded, "I don't know anybody, I'm a policeman." i The Milwaukee Dally Wisconsin thinks "Mllwaukeo should be called Digger City. For twenty years a large class of our population have had no other employment than digging down one portion to fill up another. Wo believe that two miles square of our city limits have been subjected to this process of digging and tilling to tho extent of three feet for tho whole surface, at a cost of five million dollars. An immense Roman Catholic church Is erecting In Chicago, It Is 11)0 feet Iu length bv 85 fret In width, will seat 5,000 people, niid will cost 1100,000. f
