We have always observed that the anti-slavery philanthropists, whether in non slaveholding or slaveholding communities, (for there are some of these gentry in hordes slave States) have a keen eye for the main chance.

The committee were received by the officers in the most courteous manner, both of whom expressed their earnest sympathy in their patriotic enterprise. Secretary Mallory, with approval of the President, tendered to the Association the gunboat now in process of construction by the Government, which will facilitate the consummation of their project very much, and enable the ladies to afford the Confederate capital a most formidable defence.

Mr. Smith, of Va., being entitled to the floor, addressed the House at considerable length. He reviewed the whole evidence in the case, and ably and elaborately argued in defence of the claims of the contestant to the seat of the sitting member. Mr. Gardenhire, of Tenn., replied to Mr. Smith, and with considerable ingenuity, and some ability, summed up the testimony before the committee. He advocated earnestly the right of the sitting member. Mr. Johnson, the contestant, followed Mr. Gar by Mr. Lions, which substitute was rejected by a vote of ayes 34, noes 40 The question again came up on the adoption of the committee's report submitted by Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, and it was agreed to by an aye and no vote, as follow ayes 49, noes 36.
