Yosterday, the 13th day of the 12th Jewish month, Ador (or this hoing a leap year, of tho 13th month Yeadar), was tho fast of Eather; and to-day is known .as Purim, or the Feast of Esther. Tho institution of the festival is thus chronicled in Esthor ix. 20 : "And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent let? ters unto all the Jews that werta in nil tho provinces of tho King Ahasuerus, both nigh and fur. To stablish this among them, that they should keep the 14th day ot the month Adar. and tho 16th doy of tho same yearly. As tho da??a wherein the Jews? rcstod irom their enomics, and tho month which was turned unto thom from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: [ Yam Ton, "good day,' is tho Hebrew expression for festival or holi? day] that they should mako thom days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions ono to anot'ior and gifts to tho poor. And tho Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had writton unto thom : Because Haman the son of Hammc datha, tho Agagito, the enemy of all tho Jews, hod devised against tho Jows to destroy thom, and bad cast PUB, that is, the lot, to consumo them, and to destroy them. ? ? ? 'Wherefore they called these days F'?mat, after the name of Pur."" Purim, the ur , by which this festival is uni? versally known, we thus soe, signifies "tho feast of lots," and is the anniversary of national deliver? ance. It has evor : een a season of rejoicing with the children of Israel, through all the centuries of their dispersion and persecution. Tho loading j features of the ceremonies connected with its cele? bration are tho samo everywhere, however it may differ in minor details. The day preceding Purim, the fast of Esther, is one of the six regular fast days of the Jewish year. It is rigidly observed by all the devout and orthodox members of the con? gregation of Israel, and neither meat nor drink is tasted on that day, from tho rising of tho' sun until after the stars have become visible to tho naltcd oyo. In tho evening al] repair to the syna? gogue to hear tho minister read the Megillah [the Book of Esther], which is read in its original He? brew, from a parchment scroll, in a chanting reci? tative. The congregation, with their books before them, follow the precentor, repeating certain verses after him, according to a time honorod cus? tom. . Next morning [i. e. to-day] these services at tho Synagogue are again repeated, and tho remainder of the day is then spent in rejoicing. There is not a ? member, perhaps, anywhere, of the house? hold of ABBABAM who on this day sits down to a poor dinner. This were against his principles. .Mnner parties, balls and masquerades ere very much in vogue on Purim, ivlindful of tho injunc? tion of Holy Writ, each sends presents to his neighbors, whether rich or poor, and with a deli caoy worthy of all praise, and of imitation, tho thoughtful and benevolent Jew takes this oppor? tunity of sending substantial aid to him who is lees blessed in this world's goods. On Purim this may bo done under tho plea of "sending portions ono to another." Indeeds of charity, inactive, thoughtful, cal? culating benevolence, the Jews not only preced od every other people, but probably still main? tain this pro-eminence. Benevolent societies for various purposes date far back into thc Middle Ages among many of tho Hebrew congregations of Central Europe, long before the birth of tho much vaunted nineteenth century philanthropy. These charities, both private and public [i.e. through agents or organizations], ore looked upon as matters of course, and not heralded abroad as munificent acts of "princely liberality." ... To the young people, tho masquerades are gen? erally the most attractive part of tho customs con? nected with Purim. It is the only day of tho year when all of set purpose intent to bo merry and gay. "Tho feasting and, gladness" ore prc s cr ?bcd in the book of-EST HEB, but; we think, the masquerades aro a super-addition derived t om the Christian carnival, the two festivals very frequent? ly being synchronous. Masquerades appear to offer great attractions in time of general rejoicing, OS Witnoaa ?Ho 4>*vn?.?l ii* Oc."l,?Uo Tlukvp,, tit? saturnalia of Ancient Borne, and the mummeries of Christmas in England. It was, therefore, natural for the more hilarious of the younger Jews to en? graft this custom, copied from the surrounding nations, upon tho feast of 'ESTHER. There is a story, we believe, of a Babbi who waa so carried away in his zeal for the proper (?) ob? servance of Purim, that he said (but this was long ago, before Eather MATTHEW, and before the inven? tion of whiskey,) that persons on Purim should drink until they shall be unable to tell thc difference between the blessing of MORDECAI and the curso of HAMAN. But this custom, we aro pleased to be able to say, is of those more honored in t :o breach t oan in the observance ; and there is, per? haps, no people on tho globe less addicted to strong drink than are the Jews. Of course there rall bo found individual exceptions, bul as a rule our assertion holds true tho world over. PROCEEDINGS Of CONGRESS. In the Senate on Monday the credentials of Hon. 1 P. E. Thomas, Senator elect from Maryland, were presented and a motion was made that he bo per- j mittod to take the oath of office. Ihe credentials were thon read,'and Mr. Howard moved that they be referred to : tho Committee on the Judiciary. A long discussion ensued, in,which a number of members- participated, on the question of Mr. | Thomas' lovalty to the Union. A full report of the-debate will be found elsewhere. The further consideration of the subject was finally postponed until to-day.. In the debate, Messrs. Johnson, Trumbull, Fessenden and Sainsbury advocated the immediate admission of Mr. Thomas, and were op- j posed by Messrs. Howard, Nye, Sherman, Steward . and Comtess, who favored the motion to refer. The j joint resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to .turnish to Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, arms and equipments for twenty-five hundred militia was then uiken up. Mr. Fowler stated that Governor Brownlow wanted these ar r's to protect Union man from assassination. Mr. Patterson asked if "reb? els" bad not been murdered? Mr. Fowler replied that '.he hoped so-hoped some of these arms would be used for that purpose 1" The resolution was adopted-yeas thirty-five, nays five. 'Ihe Bul sup? plementary to the Military Beconstruction Act was then taken np, the question being on concurring in the House amendments. thereto. The first of the House amendments was adopted, but the sec? ond, which requires a majority of the registered voters to adopt the Constitution, was disagreed to, after a long discussion, by a vote of yeas twenty one, nays twenty-four.

AX oRRESPONBENCE OF THE DAILY KBW8.1 ?WAsrm.OTOK, March 18th, 1867.-There has been no debate in tho Senate, where alone of the two branches of Congress, the ethics of party finesse is studied with my depth that, has brought in such plain relief tho potty dissensions ranlding in tho Radical breast, as tho discussion of Saturday up?a the Supplementary Reconstruction BilL It took until the toll of midnight to get a vote and pass thc Bill, notwithstanding there were only two Democrats present during the evening session. Tho quibble was wholly confined to the Bopubli can side of the chamber, and, in fact, the entire proceeding had more the air of a Radical caucus than aught concerning consimato statesmanship. Tho fight was mainly waged between SUMNER, NYE, DRAKE and HOWARD, on the one side, and TRUM? BULL, MORTON, WILSON and FESSENDEN, on the other hand. Neither HOWARD or Nxs could see any reason for haste in declaring an ultimatum looking to final requirements of the Southern States, and promising admittance to Congress whenever the letter cf such propositions had been complied with. Notwithstanding the fact of its being plain? ly evident that ho wa? ready for no definite recon? structive action, HOWARD became quite indignant at Mr. TRUMBULL for speaking of him as an enemy of ibo Bill under discussion, and demanded with no little heat. " By what authority does the Sena? tor from Illinois assert that I am an enemy of this Bil1? ' ' and when TRUMBULL proceeded to show in nie arrogant, biting way, how the nervous old Michigander was nothincr, if not opposed to every conceivable form of legislation that could come up, HOWARD was too- lull for utterance, and hobbled oil to a retiring room looking very red and choleric. As for HENRY WILSON, SUMNER'S colleague, he was fairly driven "beside himself by some cold? blooded remarks of NYE, who persistently nettled "tho cobbler," until it was not in the nature even of a long-suffering, recently converted proselyte to the paths of peace, to stand more, and so WILSON flared , up, and then, astonished at his own heat, endeavored to retract-was met by another succes? sion of taunts from NYE and BRAKS-which again drove him to anger and loyal utterance. Being a man of simple craft, loss of temper invariably suf? fices to draw from WILSON confessions of con? science, from which, in his own cooler moments, be shrinks abashed, and not nnfrequently utterly disclaims. And so it was in tho present instance. Stung by tho castigation administered by NYE, WILSON gave impetuous vent to a series of prognostications, to the effect that delay in reconstruction was fraught with danger to the " country, but especially to tho Radical party. Tho people, he said, . demandedV re? construction o n some basis, and the Radicals could not ro into tho Presidents 1 canvass in tho year to como-four years after the war ended-and acknowledge their failure to reconstruct the Gov? ernment by keeping tho South out. If thoy failed in their duty, the country would find leaders who did not. WILSON continued to contend that tho South would go heartily into the movement about to bo inaugurated under thc Bilk and that tho Rad? icals had a fair show for Controlling ail the States, sa ve Virginia. He was confident of South Carolina and Louisiana, and rebuked SUMNER for haggling over minor points when the great object of bring? ing in those States with Radical Senators was within their grasp. Tho next sensational feature of the debate was SUMNER'S impassioned remark-unwittingly utter? ed, it is truo-in which he denounced the States about to be constructed under the Bill as "born of thc bayonet." Several Senators sprang to their feet upon the conclusion of the speech, and were about to take the immaculate gentleman from the "Hub" severely to task for such libel nunn ttoir ?OT-HT in? tegrity, but fortunately BUCKAXSW, the cool, woll versed Pennsylvania Senator, was awarded the floor, and succeeded in making a striking and adroit use of Mr. SUMNER'S characterization, osten? sibly in that learned gentleman's defence, against the evident ili-feeling ol his colleagues on the j other sido of tho Chamber. SUMNER, he claimed, I was the pioneer of his party, advocating a policy for which he was ever denounced one year by his friends, only to seo them support it the next by their votes. He averred that SUM? NER was perfectly correct in characterizing these States as "born of the bayonet." Civil authority did exist there. It protected life. It regulated property; it performed folly all the fonctions of government-as fully as elsewhere. Now, military authority was reared above the civil. Neither pro- ' perty, nor liberty, nor life were secure, save by the permit of a soldier; and this state of things was-to exist until conditions were acted upon by the South which were extremely repulsive, and could only .be extorted by power. Verily, this was the offspring of the bayonet, as. admitted ' by Mr. Sum. E;:. Tho Bill was then pass ed, and how goes to the House for the appointment of a committee of con? ference to consider the real nat of disagreement, wbijh is, whether a majority of all registered votes, or of all the votes east at an election, shall be re? quisite to ratify the constitutions that may be adopted. . . -VIDEX. . ; .io" ?

[/Vom the National Intelligencer.] The Supplemental Seeons traction Bill was taken up in the Senate on Saturday, a little beforo 2, and occupied that body till midnight. Tho Bill, as re? ported by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, differed bat slightly from that which passed tho House. The oath was modified BO as to exclude the phrase "sincerely attached to the Govern? ment," and some other unessential amendments were offered. The debate in the Senate took a wide sweep, embracing the whole question of re? construction. A number of amendments were offered and rejected. The question which elicited the warmest discussion was whether tho voto which ratified tho Constitution should be one re? quiring a majority of all the registered voters or of all the votes ast. Tho House Bill requires the former, as did the BUI of the Judiciary Committee, in th?-estimation of some of the members, but not in that of others, and several votes were had upon it, and any quantity of debate. The alterations finally made wore by modifying thc form of the oath, and by inserting the third section, which provides for a vote being taken at the election for delegates for and against the con? vention, which shall noi be held it a majority op? pose it, or if a majority of the registered voters mil to vote upon" the question. The samo provi? sion, requiring one-half the ? registered voters, is applied to tho ratification. Mr. Howard's amendment respecting the oath specifies the condition of disfranchisement, in? stead of referring in general .terms to the Act of March 2d. Thistelicited a warm discussion, which developed a marked diversity of opinion. Some gentlemen thought the oath of but little conse? quence. Some thought it unfair to ask a man to swear to that to which yo a could apply no test, such as a feeling of attachment'to the Union. Some thought rebels would not be deterred by oaths, and a lew agreed with Mr. Sumner in thinking that the terms were not hay^n enough. Ho wan tea tho affiant to swear to the indisolubUity of the Union; that he would not countenance the Con? federate debt, but uphold the national, and oppose all discrimination of rights in regard to color. Mr. Howard's amendment was lost in committee, bnt adopted in the Sonate. Tho question that was most persistently debated was, whether a majority of the r gistered voters or of tho votes cast should bo sufficient to call a convention and ratify the constitution. Messrs. Howard, Sumner, Njo, Fess m den and Co niling contended for -the former. The speeches of Messrs. Howard and Nye were especially bitter against rebels. Accordingly to their statements, the Southern people are not fit to live in a repub? lican country, or, 'indeed, any other. They are unworthy ot ggg^ffl^^^^^^r?tottija,ulT9i?P vernal maasacrelng ' of the negroes-by Federal bayonets. This is the plain English of their t Jk. j Both were afraid of too hasty reconstruction. Both thought tho negroes too ignorant and too ! slavish to be trusted to vote against their masters, j Mr. Howard, too, had a great horror of minority j governments. Strange to say, he protested against a negro government, and was apprehen? sive that these contumacious rebels would stay away from the polls 'and leave the poor blacks, who required guardians and are unfit for self government, to make a .negro government. Mr. Nye was afraid the masters would keep thoir late slaves in leading. strings, -and . so carly reconstruction would bo simply restoring rebels to power.. So that both .sire, in fact, opposed to any recon .traction for some time to come, though Mr. Howard became quite indignant at Mr. Trumbull for speaking of him as an enemy of tho Bill, and demanded with no little heat, ." By what authority does the Senator from Illinois assert ! thai I am an enemy of the Bill ?r and when Mr. Trumbull show? ed why he was, took: the chairman of Judiciary oommitteo to task, lecturing him vehemently, prc? claimed his independence, and announced with, more force than modesty that he " recognized nu superior, and would submit to no;dicta>or." The very temper of the gentleman showed the truth of the charge. So, too. Mr. Nye flared up at a re? mark of .Mr. Wilson's' about charging him with domayoguism, by appealing to the passions en? gendered by the war, instead of pouring oil on the waters, the Senator from .Nevada'proceeded to pnt on the cap by indulging in tho very strain- of talk which validated the charge. Mr. Fessenden had considerable to say about leaving tho people of the South to their own choice. He was unwilling to compel them into the Union. He was in favor of the military bill puro and simple,'and did hot want it clogged with any terms of reconstruction. Ha wanted them to have no chance' of saying .they were forced m, but is . they took their own way cut, he would have them take their own way back, and lot Congress say whether they would recognize that way or not. He was perfectly willing to defend that position be? fore his own constituency or any.other, and did not share the apprehension of Mr. Morton and others that the nation-would tire of the delay. Mr. Colliding made...a couple of very forcible speeches, one especially, insisting that the people of the Soutli^shonldibe bound by tile work "d. rio,' and unless a majority of them voted, they might repudiate it as the act of the minority. : ; ? M?D the other hand, the :-prop?sitioti was shown np very thoroughly hy Messrs. Wilson, Morton, Trumbull and Drake. . The two former insisted that .delay, oi reconstruction-wo s fraught with danger ito the country, .but especially to toe Radi? cal party. .The people demanded reconstruction; and Mr. Morton pertinently suggested that the Radicals could not go into the Presidential can? vass next year, four years alter the war was ended, and acknowledge their failure to recon? struct the Government by keeping the South cut. If they failed in their duty, the country would find loaders who . didn't. Mr. Wilson-contended; that tho South would, go heartily into this movement,1 and that the Radica s had a fnic show for controlling all ',' the,..States except Virginia.. He--was confident'of South Carolina and' ' Louisiana, and rebuked -?ins colleague for haggling, . over minor points when the great object of bringing in the South wita Radi? cai Senators wa?' in their 'grasp; Mr. Fowler inr terrupted to. ask. a question. But it was more than the Massachusetts &natorcouldstand.;. Ho warm? ly assured him that hs was the last man: who should b? found making any "opposition to. this policy, for he (Mr. Wilson), had fought this san e tight and had to meet the same arguments to get mm (Mr.-Fowler) into toe'Senate. It was crash? ing. Mri Fowlejrjrtoodcbnvictsd and ho longer in? terrupted the impetuous .flow of the gentleman's roseate prognostications.1 That "part of Mr. Wil? son's speech relating to welcoming, tho Sooth waa very ?ne, bat Mr. "'ivye'e. subsequent' partisan ap? peal drove him into ! stating that he did not mean rebels, bot negroes and loyalists. The argument that to require a majority of the registered .voters to count tue absentees ought to bo conclusive. Mr. TnunbuU had great'd?no?lty in keeping his frie ada 'from loading .down tho Bill .wi th .amend? ments relating to tho details, and twice they were tacked on, but -removed on reconsideration. He insisted that the whole question of detail was left to the commanding general, who m~st devise and employ his own "machinery, f Ho can use the exist? ing electron laws', adapting "them to the changes required by tho act of Congress, bat he protested repeatedly Against any effort to convert this into an election law,.declaring that if-that was tho in? tention of tba Senate, the Bill must be referred, and ample time be given to the committee. \, . & Perhaps the most interesting part bf the dis? cussion grew out of the'proposition of Hr. 8um -ior to require each State to establish and main j tain a system of common schools. It was contended -fay the Senator that they hod power to lay-down - any conditions jj of reconstractio ? - they J thought wisp, and-that sufirage without knowledge waa bootless, *and he .read a tOassic eulogy on educa? tion. In the course of his remarks,he clonouneed tho States to be created under this bill as "born of [ the bayonet." This expression seemed particularly obnoxious to bis fri ends-we suppose because they secretly acknowledged its truth. Several Senators sprang to their. foot on the conclusion-of his speech, oad Mr. IBrelinghuvMOn was recognized. He pretested against such an idea going forth to the country. It was grossly unjust, and the gentle? man ingeniously sought to evado ito force by ex? plaining that the governments to bo ?zested would bo the work of the people. ~'".Y - , - - Mr. Copnesji gnnmfolly-itipnl^m^l itf nnH .nw minded the Senator that California sprang into the Union from a.'mmtaryxsrdef.but ho forgot to ?tate that <2aiifonna had no conditions affixed to her comi-g, with the alternativo of acceptiag tbam or being kept under the bayonet. Mr. btewart protested against anv man's voting for a Bill and denounci g. it" He would vote against a Bul or he would def ou d it, and he donned .tuat.it was. growly unfair to denoanco a measure and get the credit tor standing on a higher eleva? tion-than oUifiTs. while really supporting it with his vote,' They would bo met on the stomp with this speech of the Senator, and it waairaju.it to his friends, Mr. Hendricks denied the power of Congress to instituto governments for the South, or to pre? scribe any other condition than those imposed by the Constitution. Ho very briefly, but forcibly and conclusively, destroyed all the foundation of Mr". Sumner's argument on the pow er of Congress to prescribe governments for the S?rth, which he derived from necessity, from military govern? ments, and from that clause in tho Constitution guaranteeing a republican government. Ncoessity knows no law, but we were governed by a Consti? tution, and have no powers save what wore con? ferred. There is no war, and the gentleman knows it. Thero was no excuse, thon, for appeal mg to the war power; but if there was, that did not justify such interference with the rights of Ameri? can citizens. Governments already existed in the South; they are republican in form, and there is not tho shadow of an excuso for congressional in? terference. Mr. Buckalow made a very striking and adroit j argument, ostensibly in defence of Mr. Sumner, who,, he claimed, was the pioneer of the party, ad- ! vocatinfflfc policy for which he was denounced this ? year by his friends, only to support it the next by their votes. Ho claimed, too, that the Senator was gerfectly correct in characterizing these States as om of tho bayonet. Civil authority did exist I there. It protected life. It r?K?l&ted rroperty; it performed fully all the functions of government as fully as elsewhere. Now military authority was reared above the civil. Noitlier property nor lib? erty nor life were secure, save by the permit of a soldier; end this state of things was to exist until conditions were acted upon by the South which j wero extremely repulsivo, nnrl nmi' miy v? ex? torted by power. Mr. Sumner's proposition was hat by a tie vote. Ono point of this debate ?ve must reserve, as we havo not space to do it justice. We refer to the question whether Congress is committed at all to a { pl"n of reconstruction by the act of March 2d of i the last Congress. On this the difference of opin? ion was very decided. Thc bill now coes to tho House, and it is difficult ; to sa in what shape it will come out, and there is a marked difference between the two Houses on the , question whether a majority of all the registered voters, or of all the votes cast at the election, shall be requisite to ratify tho constitutions that may be adopted._ FBOST AND ICE.-On Sunday morning there was ice and a thin frozen crust on lat ly ploughed I ground-we saw both; and on Monday morning thero was a heavy white frost. No doubt some of thc fruit was kill od; and more of it injured-but we still hope that there will be a sufficiency of the early-blooming fruit, such as peaches and plums. It is hardly probable that the applo crop has yet been much injured. All tender garden vegetation, not specially protected, must have suffered. Yesterday was milder, and we trust that thero will bo littlo or no frost this morning. IColunibus Enquirer. THE FntrxT.-Tho weather is again becoming mild and pleasant.
