In the Sonnte, on the 17tb, Mr. Davis of fered a resolution callir-p for the aggregate expenditures of the Freedmen's Bureau since 186*5 Several Senators objected. Much of th<* disburs..merits wer? for white refugees. Pending the discussion, the morning l our expired, and the .epeal of the cotton tax waa re.-u md. Mr. Conkiiotr, of New York, proceeded to say that a helping baud had been extended to these destitute communities: thc direct tax had b- ?n -impended in all the insurrectiona ry States; the tax had bein removed from sugar machinery and other articles winch per tained to that community; be would say now that it would have been much better for these people if one of the parties of this country. Hiid the visible head of. tab Government, had let them ?Jone. If they had stopped swag gering ab?tit, and ta'king about representa tion tn Congress and gone to work to build up their impoverished eectiou they would to day have bec? much happier, and so would I. If this tix-. tra.? taken cf it would wipe out twenty mil'ions of revenue and they knew not where to go to replace il. Mr. C. indicated a disposition to vote for a reduction of the tax, but maintained that the proper course was to postpone the bill until 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. Morion said cotton should not be en tirely-exempt frotn the burdens of the Gov ? ern ue0t/r ^Tfie JiJcnesion assumed a political turn.

On thc ltUb, in the Scua e, the repeal of the Cotton Tax was discussed, after which the President's message regarding General , Ilancock was read, when, amid considerable confusion, a> to its disposition, thc ?enate adjourned. in tho House, the Rjconsi ruction Bill, the substance of which was given on the 17th, was resumed. Maynard ga"e notice of an alditional section, authorizing the Conven tions*^ establish Provisional Governments. Stevens withdrew the section of the billin creasing rcpresentattjn from the Southern States,.and the bill passed by 104 to 37-a strict party vote. The bil! as passed provides that a majority of the vote?s shall ratify I li O Constitutions, und that at the time of voting 011 Constitu tions members of Congress shall bc elected according to Congressional districts existing in 1858. The same officers who make returns of votes on the Constitutions shall give cer tiiicatts to Congressmen. The President's message is highly laudato ry of General Hancock's Order No. 40, and concludes: "I respectfully suggest to Congress that some public recognition of General Han cock's patriotic conduct is due, if not to him, to the friends of law and uf justice throughout the country. Of such an act as his, at such a time, it is but fie that the dignity should be vindicated and the virtue proclaimed, so that its value as an exan.ple may not be lost to the nation." On the 19th, in the Senate the Bill passed on the lSth by the House, supplementary to the Reconstruction Acts, was read twice and referred to the Judiciary Committee. Several memorials regarding thc rights of American cit:zens abroad were presented. Several speeches were made, urgiug immedi ate and vigorous action, to which Sumner, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Re lations, replied that the Committee could not Le driven into hasty action by temporary pressure. The memorials were referred. WASHINGTON, December 20. In the Senate, a petition from citizens of Ohio was presented asking an increase of cur rency. Referred to Finance Committee. Local business ensued, when the cotton tax wa i resumed. Wide and wild views were ex pressed, when, without reaching thc House bill 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 mthern railroads came up. Julian main tained that none, except the New Orleans and Opelousas Road, had complied with the terms of grant. The matter was finally postponed to Bccond Tuesday in January.. The Reconstruction Committee was allowed a Clerk, and the House went i ato Committee of the Whole. Several unimportant questions were taken up, on which the vote of the Speaker wa* required to make a quorum, and the Hoise adjourned. A count to-day indicated that repeal ol the 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 apoly to this j ear's crop.

Ellccts of Radicalism in Alabama* MONTGOMERY, Detvember 18. Accounts from the farming districts report a great destruction of stock. The freedmen prowl around the country and kill cattle, &c, and live by a system of general pillage. In some sections the cotton fields are still win te. Labor is still sought, but cannot be procured. Many freedmen were dismissed because their terms of service had expired ; others because they would not work, and from various cause?. The country is filled with thieving vagabonds. But few freedmen have made coutracts as la borers for the ensuing year, though many are anxious to do so. Preparations for farm ing next year are very circumscribed in con sequence of the objectionable features in the new Constitution. In some sections the far mers require the freedmen to sign an agree ment to vote against thc ratification of the Constitution, on he ground that it is ruin ous to the planters. A great majority of the farmers are hiring fewer laborers than they ever did before. THE CONVENTION AND Mn.

We congratulate the " Island City," and the Medical College iu particular, upon their ac quisition of the Doctor, although at our exponse. As he was twice a member of our Legislature, to which he was electod by a very complimentary vote in thc large District of Edgoficld, and as he bas an extensive acquaintance, both in Carolina and Georgia, we doubt not his presence in the Medical College must add to tho number of its students. Moreover,' we predict that his varied attainment?, genial manner?, high social qualities und profound knowledge of men, as well as of Medicine, will contributo 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 like " merrie .Christmas." Faith hails it as the most bonign eront of sagred history, and the Flesh welcomes it as a day of I jubilee on which orthodoxy sanctions indulgence. It comes de -n to us enclustered with recollections of Anglo Saxon festivity; of that patriarchal hospitality which loaded the oaken tables of fei? dal England until they bent under tho mighty banquet, and set the amber ale a-flowing in every cellar between Penzanco and the Tweed. Tie Christmas of old England had a dash of liber1/, equality and fraternity in it. The stalely bann and his guests mingled in the sports of those wio "satbelow the salt;" the revels in the great halls were as free to squire and peasant al to prince and peer; knight and rustic stood sidoby sido in tho contra-danco ; nobility and sorfalij hob-nobbed at the same board ; and for one joy ous week rural England was democratised. This* days are gone by. The old English Christmis; either in the mother oountry, or among ber chil dren on this side the sea, is scarcely a shadow ?f tho festival of the olden time. It is not even tie Christmas that Washington Irving has so beaut fully immortalized. We koop up, however, that interchange |f friendship and remembrance which has for cern' tunes formed one of tho most pleasing features of the holiday season. And now tho old Advertiier tonda its ovorj friend the kindliest and lovingeit greotioji Among all these friends, may this happy ecajoi' prove how enduring is the vitality of old associai tioni when connected and intertwined wit!; the exercise of the kindly charities of life the promotion of good fooling toward each and al!, the oblivion of former strifes and quarrell,! and the recognition of tho great truths announced in the voice from heaven that proclaimed " Pcaco on earth, good will- toward mon." -? ? ?

Three delegates to the late council of the Loyal League-Messrs. Moss, Mackey and Pillsbury-called on Senator Sumner to-day to learn his views about matter? pertaining to the government of the South. In reply to the question whether it would be be-ter to adhere to the Congressional plan of disfranchisement or 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 schema 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 m 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,Letcber and others of that class appeared and dared to dictate a policy to the Ameiican people. Such'men should never again obtrude them selves on public notice, and should especially refrain from attempting to offer advice or de liver opinions on the affairs of the nation. He felt particularly incensed against the ob structionists in Congress-the so-called con servative republicans;-whose timid time serv ing action had already proved the bane of the party. Ho and Ben Wade had done their ntmost to carry out the true principles of the Sarty, but they invariably found themselves iwartcd by 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 pass a Political Rights Bill. In avoiding the execution of these two measures, they placed the spoon in the hand? of the democracy with which to stir up the prejudices of the masses and misrepresent the motives of republican ism. He contended that when Congress pan ged 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 Bili, which would have given suffrage to ali the colored people throughout 'the country. Ho believed that the constitutional amend ment abolishing slavery gives Congresa th? right to pass this Political Rights Bill, and j had they done so the colored people could , have voted in the. recent elections, thereby j taking away from the democracy the argn jmont they used with such effect; in different {States of the North by holding np the bugbear '?of negro supremacy. Speaking of General Grant, he said he considered him a good sol fdier, and no moro. There was no record of jhui ever having expressed a political axiom or an idea which could afford the people au in sight of his capacity for statesmanship, or of th? 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 gifr of the people. Re ferring to impeachment, he expressed himself linguine that if the House had passed the ?Bi 1, the Senate would have done its duty in epporting them. One of the deputation ]aid they felt apprehensive in South Carolina |hnt if they framed too Radical a Cons itu ;ion it might be rejected by Congres?, to yhich Mr. Sumner replied that they should otertain no fears on that head, os Congress iras aware that the members of the Conven ?an living in tho State knew what was ieeded better than they did, and would not, hetefore, rejeet any Constitution on account rf ie being too Radical.-Special Dispatch U Nsw York Herald.
