From Washington.
WabiIinoton, March 23.
The Senate was occupied nearly all of
its session to day with the case of General
Stockton, invo'ving the retention of his
seat. The Committee on the Judiciary
had previously reported id his favor, but
the question at issue was whether the
ihcumbeut could be legailr sleeted to the
Senate by a plurality instead of a majori*
ty of the votes cast by tho joint meeting
of the New Jersey Legislature. The
Senate by one majority retained him in
his seat. Genera! Stockton is a Demo<
crat, and has thus triumphed over his
opponents.
TL'6 liouse by a vote of 83 to 53 pass
d a liill authorizing the Secretary of the
'Treasury to exchange Treasury notes and
c/ther obligations for bonds either at home
or abroad?the proceeds of which to be
used only lor retiring the former. Tit
increase of the public debt is prohibited.
JJot more than tsn millions of the United
Slates notea rtiny bo retired or cancelled
within six months from the passage of
the act, and thereafter not more than
four millions in any one month. Th?
Senate has jet to act upon the bill.
Although there is ao certain data on
the subject, a report generally prevailed
among the members of Congress to da?
that the President will veto the Civil
Rights bill.
Washington, March 25.
Prominent members of Congress assert
toiday that the President's veto of the
Civil Plights Bill will be communicated to
the Senate toimbrrow.
Washington, March 20.
The United States Senate was engaged
in the discussion of a resolution ottered by
Mr. Sumner, to amend the Journal of
Friday by striking out the vote of Mr.
Stockton, of New Jersey, on his right to
a seat, and refused, by a vote of 22 to 18,
td refer the question again to the Judiciary
Committee.
Mr. TriimKi.lt r.U?i * ?

A Proposition.
Any person sending us n Club eff five new
subscribers to one Post Otlicc address, accompanied
with the cash, will receive a copy of
the paper extra for ono ycrfr.
We arc indebted to Mr. Ilasseltine,
who lias lately been purchasing large
additions to the stock of tha firiu, for late Charleston
and New fork paper*.
Cold Weather.
The weather last week wa? cold for the setso.
i, and in this vicinity occasioned considerable
injury to vegetable garden* and other interests.
On Thursday night there we* heavy frost and
ice. The fruit crop is almost entirely d&stroyvd,
ana H is apprehended thai. some injur/ has
been done the wheat.
Taxes.
Our teadors will not fail to observe the
notices of both the Federal and State tax officers
in^his paper, (low those persons who are
without money and have no means of pr^u riiifj
it (and this euibiaees a very lur?e proportion of
the people in this section) can pay their taxes
at the present time, is a n-r.ttcr for grave consideration.
The collection of theSe taxes, hu?i
ever, will utitptcsHonnhly ndt be postponed, and
we nufst prena.e to meet tfiis additional bur Jan
with all the means within our reach. There is
no escape from them that we ran See, and a
eacriico of property will inevitably follow a
failure to pay at tho required time.
The Civil Rights Bill.
The bill which lately passed Congress, kn own
as tho civil rights bill, and about which there
seems to l>? to much discrepancy #f opinion at
to whether it will be approved or vetoed by
President Johnson, is a measure of vast significance
to the Southern peop'o. The principle
of "equality before the law," seems to be the
determined policy of the party in power, end
we presume it will com* to that sooner or
later. The following ere the chief features of
the bill:
''That all persons born in the United States
and net auhjeoi to any foreign power, excluding
Indians not taxed, ate herebv declared to be
citizens of the United States, without distinction
of ?ol<W, without tegard to any previous condi*
tion of slavery or involuntary servitude, except
as a punishment of crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall have the
saine right to malt# and enforce contacts, to
sue, be parties, and give evidence, to inherit,
purchase, lease, Sell, hold and convey real slid
petsonal property, and to the full rtnd equal
benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security
of person and property, end shall bo
subject to like punishments, pains and penalties,
axd to none other ; any law, statute, ordinance,
regulation or custom to Uie contrary notwith*
standing." ~
"That in all questions of law arising in any
case under the provisions of this act, a filial
appeal shall be taken to the Supreme Court ef
the United Steles."
There aceir.s to he little doubt that the bill
has been vetoed by the President.
?*
Legal Ten dep.
There atiU elist in the minds of many persons
grave doubts as to whether United States
Treasury notes are in laet a legal tender for the
payment ot debts, and whether creditors are
bound to accept them or subnht to the forfeiture.
This, in the face of the decision! of the Coiirts
all over the cdUntry i! truly surprising ; decisions
which, in some cases, have gone So far
as to declaic that these notes are a legal tender
in all contracts for the payment Of ntouey, even
wheie the terms of the contract are express td
pay in gold or silver.
It is true, that, if we were to solve the question
by the constitution, in the old fashioned
way of construing that instrument, double of
the constitui-onality of tbo legal tender law
Would not appear so rory extraordinary. In
former times?in what Old-fashioned people
Would call the gtldeA. age of the republic, the
Courts held that the power giveM to Congress
by the Constitution to "coin money," entrusted
thit body only with the power of coining tiiat
-kUL : I ? ?- 4
"men wm reru^auca ?y ine commercial worm
as a circulating medium?gold and tilvtY. i
(McLarin vs. Neabit, N. k Mo. 2-519.)
But the present is an age ef progress, and
technical and constitutional scruples vanish;
into thin a!r when sounded in the light of a
broad public policy The policy of the country
requires that the credit of these notes be sui |
Uined ; and there need not be any asportations
that the Courts will hereafter reverse the de- I
cisions already made. We do not know that
the Unrtkd States Sap terse Court ha* ever j
passed upon the measure; but it is understood
that Chief Juatice Chase, when Secretory of the
Treasury, originated this eery schema ; and It
cannot be doubted, that when submitted to the
Supreft* Court, the decisions below will bo
fally euataiaed. It 1s the pari of wladom,Jfrerafor*,
for all persora to u>*ke their contracts i
and arrangement* accordingly. I

Capt. Sf.mmks ?We are pleased to

that the impression gains ground that,
though Capt. Setnmes will he tried by a
mixed commission, composed of military
and naval officers, bit convction and rtlaa?e
will turn alatoit solely upon the
question of whether or not he violated
the usages of war in escaping from his
vessel after striking Ids flag. It it con*

burning, sinking and dtail-oying his prises,
and that he is protected by the terms of

An Important Decision.?A decision

during the existence of the Confederacy,
said debts having been contracted previous
to the yeat 1801. The decision of
