"A REBUKE." The Baltimore Republican calls the vote of thanks to Mr. Stevenson, passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 97 to 49 (!!) "a rebuke" to the Senate. "The members of the Senate may pocket the rebuke, and go to bed with what appetite they can." We hope no Senator was obliged to "go to bed" supperless. But with what appetite could Mr. Stevenson go to bed, or to supper, from the day of his resignation till the last day but one of the session—about forty days and forty nights, and all this time no movement for the empty compliment of a vote of thanks? We rather guess (being a Yankee) that it was the ex-speaker, after all, who has "pocketed the rebuke," and gone to bed on very bad terms with himself as well as the Senate.
