Mr. C. indicated a disposition to vote for a redaction of the tax, but maintained that the proper course was to postpone the bill uni il February or March, when the whole subject of revenue would be up. and gave notice of his intention to make a motion to that effect. Mr. Morton said cotton should not be en tirely exempt frotn the burdens of the Gov ? ern neat. ~cncsion assumed a political turn.

On tho lSih, in the Seu&'e, the repeal ol tiie Cotton Tax was discussed, after which the President's message regarding General Hancock was read, when, amid considerable confusion, a> to its disposition, thc Renate a Jj ou :ii cd. in ihn House, the Reconstruction Bill, the aubs'.i.nce of which was given on the 17th, was resumed. Maynard gave notice of an alditional section, authorizing thc Conven tions* :o establish Provisional Governments. Ste . ens withdrew the section of the bJUn Creasing representation fruin the Southern States, and the bill passed by 104 to 37-a sirict party vote. The bill as passed provides that a majority of the volets shall ratify I he Constitutions, and that at thc time of voting on Constitu tions members of Congress shall be elected according to Congressional districts exiting in 1 S?S. The s une officers who make returns nf votes on the Constitution-; shall give cer tificates to Congressmen. The President's message is highly laudato ry of General Hancock's Order No. 40, and concludes: "'I respectfully suggest to Congres? that some public recognition of Genera! Han cock's patriotic conduct is due, if not to him, lo the friends of !a-.v and of justice throughout the country. O' such an act as his, at such a time, ii is but iii that the dignity should be vindicated and the virtue proclaimed, so that its value ti3 an exa:i pie may not be lost to the nation.'' On the lihh, in the Senate the Bill parsed on th*: 18th by the House, supplementary to the Reconstruction Acts, was read twice and referred lo the Judiciary Committee. Several memorials regarding the rights ol American cit-zcns abroad were presented. Several speeches were made, urging immedi ate and vigorous action, to which Sumner, Chairman of the Committee o:i Foreign Re lations, replied that the Committee could not be driven into hasty action bj- temporary pressure. The memorials were referred. WASHINGTON, December 20. In the .Se?ale, a petition from citizens of Ohio was presented asking an increase of cur reucy. Referred to Finance Committee. Local business ensued, when the cotton tax was resumed. Wide and wild views were ex pressed, when, without reaching the House hill amending the Reconstruction Acts to majority of voters sufficient to ratify Consti tutions, the Senate went into Executive ses sion and adjourned. In the House a bill forfeiting lands granted S .uthern railroads came up. .iulian main tained that none, except thc New Orleans and (ipelousas Road, had complied with the terms of grant. The matter was finally postponed IJ second Tuesday in January. The Reconstruction Committee was allowed a Clerk, and the House went into Committee of the Whole. Several unimportant questions were taken up, on which the vote of the Speaker wai required to make -? quorum, and the House adjourned. A count tO-day indicated that repeal ot thc cotton tax, had a vote been taken, would have failed by two votes. An ultimate modifica tion of the tax is probable, but it will hardly apply to this j ear's crop. Ethan Allen is nominated as Collector of Teche, (Louisiana) district.

Tho country is filled with thieving vagabonds, But few freedmen have made contracts as la borers for the ensuing year, though many are anxious to do so. Preparations for farm ing next year arc very circumscribed in con sequence ofthe objectionable features iu the pew Constitution.

We congrat?lalo the " Irland City," and the Medical Collcgo itt particular, upon their ac quisition of the Doctor, although at our expense. As he was twice a member of our Legislature, to which be was elected by a very complimentary vote in thc large District of Edgefield, and tis he ha? an extensive acquaintance, both in Carolina anil Georgia, we doubt not bis presence in the Medical College must add to thc number of its students. Moreover, we predict that bis varied attainments, genial manners, high social qualities and profound knowledge of men, a? well as of Medicine, will contribute largely toward elevating and extending tho reputation of the Institution if ho should thoroughly identify himself with its fortunes.

Among all tho play-days of tho Christian world, there is none liko " mcrrio Christmas." Faith hails it ns thc mont bonign evont of sapped history, and the Flesh welcomes it as a day of I jubilee on which orthodoxy sanctions indulgence. It comes down to us enclustered with rocollectiont of Anglo Saxon fcitivity ; of that patriartbal hospitality which loaded the oaken tablos of fei dal England until they bent under tho mighty banquet, and set thc amber nie a-flowing in eviry cellar between Penznnco and the Tweed. Tke Christmas of old England had a dash of liberiy, equality and fraternity in it. Tho stately bann and his guests mingled in the sports of tboso wlo int below the salt;" the revois iu the greit halla were as free to squire and peasant as lo prince and peer; knight and rattle stood sidebjr sido in tho contra-dance; nobility and ecrfslip hob-nobbed at the same board ; and for one joy ous week rural England was democratised. Thus dr.ys are gone by. The old English Christean^ either in the mother country, or among her cJuU-1 dren on this side the sea, is scarcely a shadow if [ the festival of the olden time. It is not even tl? Christmus that Washington irving has so beaut fully immortalized.

In reply to the question whether it would be be ter to adhere to the Congressional plan of disfranchisement pc go further and disfranchise, still more, the Senator replied that the safest policy, and the one calculated to secure loyal interests and loyal governments, would be a more exten sive scheme of disfranchisement, embracing, besides those who formerly held offices in the federal service, all who took an active part in furthering the secession movement and all who were in any sphere leaders of the people and carried the crowd with them. He felt outraged in reading, a few days ago, the pro ceedings of the Conservative Convention as sembled in Richmond, in which such men as Hunter, Rives,Lctcher and others of that class appeared and dared to dictate a policy to the ?meiican people. Suchmen should never ?gain obtrude them selves on public notice, and should especially refrain from attempting to offer advice or de liver opinions on the affaira of the nation. Ho felt particularly incensed against the ob structionists iu Congress-the so-called con servative republicans-whose timid time serv ing action had already proved the bane of the pj.rty. Ho and Ben Wade had done their utmost to carry out the true principles of the party, but they invari: 'ly found themselves th warted Ly the progressive and less sincere men on their own side. The two great mis takes of the republican party were the failure to impeach the President and the failure to pf,83 a Political Rights Bill. In avoiding the execution of these two measures, they placed the spoon in the nandi of the democracy with which to stir up the prejudices of the masses and misrepresent the motives of republican ism. He contended that whon Congress pas sed the Civil Rights Bill, the same arguments used to enfore it could have been just as well .employed in the passage of a Political Rights Bill, which would have given suffrage to all the colored people throughout the country. Hs believed that the constitutional amend ment abolishing slavery give? Congress the right to pass this Political Rights Bill, and had they done so the colored people could have voted in the recent elections, thereby tabing away from the democracy the argu ment they used with such effect in different States of the North by holding up the bugbe ,of negro supremacy. Speaking of General 'Grant, he said he considered him a good sol dier, and no more. There wa? no record of | hin ever having expressed a political axiom or an idea which could afford the people an in sight of his capacity for statesmanship, or of | tbs course he would be likely to pursue if he were elected President. He was therefore op [posed to endorsing him asa candidate for thc ?highest office in the gift of the people. Re rerring to impeachment, he expressed himself | linguine that if the House had passed the Bill, the Senate would have done its duty in upporting them. One of the deputation aid they felt apprehensive in South Carolina hat if they framed too Radical r. Cons itu ion it might be rejected by Congres?, to vhich Mr. Sumner replied that they should otertain no fears on that head, as Congress xas aware that the members of the Conven ion living in thc State knew what was tended better than they did, and would not, heiefore, rcjectt any Constitution on account o" ila being too Radical.-Special Dispatch tt Nsw York Herald.
