The negroes and their p corshippers spt uded,. From the galleres and the floor tots of applauwe arose when the vote was an sounced. It-is a decree of 1liberty-and equatlity." The question had been made one of strictny party -6bharacter, andevery man in the House who was t . vet prepared to forfeit his party relations vot-e with, the nVority. Many of the Republica voeUd with a viw to force an issue between themselves and their political opponents before the people, and aso-to force Presient Johnson -to aR issue -with their party- They know that theycab keep the South out of the Union in some 1syo ter, -and that, for their own term at es,thywill be able to-cripple and control the Eetiepower. The Senate will Pass the Bill, as it goes to them from Tbe House; It Wil thus-pass in a' shape that rould serve to compel a vote from the President. If he veto it, the Conservatives triumph. If be sign it, the Radicals will use him their own stalking-horse; for his credit for pQrpose and consistency will greatly aid them in their future policy. The whole amount of the matter is this; 'Wh'ether tIe Negro Suffrage Bill -he passed or * ot, the Republican party intend to keep the South out-of the Union as long as they can. The most hopeful of the Cobsereati'res havre come to .in this design ' If so,1he will oppose this, their * leadting measure. You will see in the proceed - ings of Congress, Senator Wade's speech against reconstruction, and thie interlocution thereon. Whether it be done by legislation, according to the idea of' Mr. Sumner, or by the requirements - of the President and test oaths, the'South is to - beforcd toitdot ti aditaT measures. So Mr. Wed delard tat,theSoutheru'States,h,c -had acted. uider President Jolinsoi's admoni' tionis, that they must adopt certain measures or -be kep out o'f~the taion, .will have the right to --rp6~d all those measures 'they adopted under nior"f 6i- political duress. .This is also Carl -&horz's argument against presenlt restoration. A Bill 'is before C-ongiess, and likely to pass. 'hhout'much opposidon, which deeply concerns Sthe interests of South Carolina. Mr. Trumbull, -of Ilinois, is uhe author of a Bill to confer a -freedmen on the islands and other places near - the.coastof Sonth Carolina., lustea- of the ab goue tile.inlfee, a possessory r~gt for three - -. :years bas been proposed, and the bill, as. thus ...amende4, has~passed the Senate. It will pass tite-ouse without .a question. The history of the matter is briedy this: On the i.>tb of Jn sary last, General Sherman, thenL on his great 'march, issued an order to the effect that the lads of'rhe State of South Carolina, to the ex s teat of thirty miles from the coast, should be oc **. *=cpedand imrvdb hengoste resi negroes took, and were already im, possession. - ngton last fall and applied to the President for the restoration of these lands' to their former oc -cuUans and,owners. The Presidemn was dispos -a to issue an order for their restoratson at once. General Howard was censulted by 'the President .tbesubject, aw.fd the General suggrested that a e 6envwas expedient, but that the restora ns~on-.e effected. Thus the matter * h*k ie'~se(till Congress is ready'to usurp'all .the * . thgEz.getive, as they have sig.nified a ''dee~ o o If the tihree years' possession be till e ' ttto.a permanent poss * 4~ioTi isumo te4lP o intended. It is re ~saie that Congress should make any differ - ebewea(arlina5 and oiher States. In Vir-' gnia abandohed property, 'for some time oca edby negrows or~ United -States troops, has tnu~sred.

They may - ot,annouace the decision-immediately. - - ~ Th.ereis stiH-a doubt as to the action of the ?resident on the Bill establishing abgro suffrage frtbl distriot' But the Republican members asue that the President cannot veto it- if he would, bebause it would be carried over his head.

The town was plundered, all the available booty was brought off, and the Imperial gunboat Antonio, passing up at the time the expedition was in progress, was ordered to surrender, and, refusing to do'o, and opening fire upon the fli4busters-, the fire was returned and an Austrian scrgeant was killed. Of the troops engaged in this excursion many were negroes. GENEBA1 WEITZEL to GENERAL MEJIA. READQUARTEaS DISTRICT OF THE Rio GRANDE, BR0"WNSVIL.%, TExAS, January 2, 1866. Majo-General jia, Commanding Line of Rio Grande: GENERAL:-I understand that you have taken seventeen prisoners from the Liberal forces, and that you intend to execute them In the name of the entire civilized world, I protest against such a horrible act of barbarity. I believe that it will stamp the Power which you represent wich infamy forever. To execute Mexican, fighting in their own country, and for the freedom of their ceuntrv, against foreign power, is an act Nhich. at this age, will meet with universal exe cration. I cannot permit this to be done under the eye of my Government, without, on its be hail, enteriug this solemn protest. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, GODFREY WEITZEL, Major-General. GENERAL MEJIA To GUNEMAL WEITZEL. No 2. IMPERIAL ArtyY, ME2cD , DiTisi . MEXICAN GENERAL-1IN-CHIEF, MATAVORAS, January 2, 1866. ) General:-I acknowledge the receipt of your communication dated this day. I find myself under the necessity of repelling energetically the participation which y.u pretend to take in the internal concerns of this country. The business to which the protest in your note refers has now been brought before competent tribunals, and no one has a right to suspend the proceedings. For your individual cognition I will add that the persons in question are accused of having taken by force of arms thirteen wagons, twenty-six muies and horses, and robbed thirteen persons. It will be very strange, General, if, in the mid dle of this nineteenth century, the bandits and high-way robbers were to receive Unlp and pro. tection from the civilized world. By the same occasion I see myself 'obliged to remind you of the contents of the letter which I had the honor to address you on-the 21st of last December. I shall return without answer all communications of the character and couched in the language of the one now before me. Accept, General, my esteem and consideration, THOMAS MEJIA, General Commanding Lsine Rio Grande. LIGANT-A report reaches us through our exchanges that Frederick Douglass, who has' been giving lectures at the North during the past few months, became highly itidighant the other day because he was ndt allowed to -take his meals with the other guests of the hotel at which he was stopping. This occurred at Portland, Me., where the people are supposed to sympathize largely with the negro race. It is the old story repeated. People who do not have the negro im their' midst make a great hue and cry agaimst the lenient manrner of.their treatment elsewhere, but so soon as one of the sable race ask them to put their teachings in practige, they immediately as sume dignity and declar~e the effrontery of the request as outrageous in the extreme. It hap pened not long since that an evening entertamn ment was given at one of the lea.ding New York hotels by Mr. Redpath, to which Frederick Douglass was invited. Nearly all the guests h av ing received an inkling of whom they would probably meet, concluded to remain away. [Charleston Cor.rier.

The freedmen of tMis District, from all we can learn, are behaving remarkably well, and ha~ve shown a general desir to go to work and earn a livelihood foT ~%he coming year, but of course there are necessarily some idle ones congregated abqpt in camps and wandering about the country, and we cannot conceive -of a better decision than that of making idle and bad people work the mio erable and impassable roads for the good and in dustrious people who are engaged in useful and legitimate employiments.-O)t ange burg Times. Y'ORGoT IT WHEN IN A FIGHT.-Timn McGowan had his limb crushed when quite a boy. He af terwards lost his life in the Mexican war, and his surviving brother, Dennis, never ceased boasting of Tim's exploits. 'Och murder," says he, "you ought to have seen Tim at Tye-sack a dollar-pole me (meaning Resaea de la Palma.) He caught two Mexican blackguards by the cuffs of their necks and kilt them both as d ad as herrins by knocking -their heads together." "How ce'ald that be,'"said the listener, "when your brother hbirt one arm ?" "Bless your sowi," said Den i"one arm had he ? That's true -enough for ye, but then, ye see, Tim forgot a'.l about that when he got igo a fight.* EPREsSloNS OF A FEMALE ETE.-A mnodern writer gives the following- enumeration of the dxpressions of a female eye "The'glares,the stare, the sneer, the invita tron, the defiance, the denial, the consent, the glance of love, the flash of r-age, the sparkling of hope, the 'lazggnishm'ent 'of softmess, the-squint of suspicios th.e frre of jealossy, and the lustre of pleasre." He might have added that-of melting tenderness with which rhe looks upon a love 'of a bonnet~ and that of rialignant joy with wh~ich se regards an old drtess osn a neighbor. E'ATR OF A"DISTINGU1sHED MAN.-We regret to learn from the Orangeburg Southiron of the death, on the 17th instant, at Walterboro, 'of Josiah B. Perry, Esq., Solicitor 'of the Southern Circuit. Five weeks ago Solicitor -Per.ry was in this city, attending to his official duties con'nect ed. with the Legislature, and apparently in robust health. He was an intelligent lawyer, a useful citizen, and a genial companion, and his death vai1 be deplored by -a -lar .circ1g of friends throughout the State. I MIGRATION.-The Norfolk Virginian says: "We understand that -there are several gentle men in the city fromn New York and New Jersey, who have brcugh t on e ich them their seeds and and teams, with the view: of purchasing farms and entering upon the cultivation of Virginia lands. Some have put chased, and.others are de. sirous, and intend to do so, if they-can make th< necessary arrang'ements with the land-holders.'

Tis true that the break of seven miles will make the trip somewhat longer than is agreeable, yet the present change is so far ahead of the past year's experience, that it will be hailed with no common satisfaction.

Mr. Wilson spoke in opposition to it. Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, said that if such a Bureau must exist its operations ought not to be felt in the loyal States. The question was taken aud the amendment rejected. In thp-House Mr. Finke introduced a Bill to re peal the test oath, which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Williams introduced a resolution calling for the trial of the leaders of the rebellion by Court Martial or Military Commission, asserti,g that it would not answer the purposes of justic to have them tried by a tribunal of justice in the South, where their pe,?rs wou:d be persov- equally guilty with themselves in crime.

THE SEAT IsLAND LANDs.-N3 little surprise was exhibited by our people when they learned of the effort being made in Congress to miake valid for a term of three years, the tith:s to lands ou the Sea Islands, given to the freedmen by General Sherman. This was something an the way of legislation that was not in the least anticipated. The question arises what will be done with those lands which, by order of General Howard, have been restored to their original owners? It is tre the Bill has not yet passed, butjudging frem what has already transpired in Congress relating to matters in w hich the supposed welfare of the freedmen is interested, we have little reason to doubt the result, should the projectors of the measure push it to an issue. Tne impression prevails in this section that the real design ~ot the Bill is to wrest completely and -forever the Sea Islands from the hands of their former own ers, and place them at the disposal of the freed men. it is heedless for us iu this place to call at tention to the value of these lands, when they are properly cultivated, to the State* of South Cerblina. It is there where the best quality oi cotton is raised. In an article published in this paper a few days ago, we took the ground tbhat the plantations on the Sea Islands were in a very unpromismig con dition. The freedmen refused to-make, contracts with the white planters, -er cuitivate the soil on their owe account. We de niot perceive how te passage of the Bill now pending in Congress would be calculated in an.y way to eemedy the evils of which we complain. We maintain that the only method by which a real benefit mnay be made to result from the working of tbie Sea is land plantations, would be to place them as soon as possible in the possession -of their original Ownes. 'fhe et- st.ep wonu be4o give U.be freedmen's contract system a thorough test. Should this system be found wanting, it would be found necessary to resort to the aid of whiteemi grants. By giving _the land to the freedmen, Congress takesfrom the State the richest part of her pos sessions, and places themn in the keeping of a peo ple who will speedily 'vob them of their value. Atthis stage ofone teewed progress, it uni~st be admtted by all that a serious: blow - wiH.be inSicted on ouir future prosperity should the Sea Island planCations be disposed of as t(he Bill sug gests.- Courier. -- The New York Chami>er of Commerce has de cided against co.Xperating in a movement to call together a National Convention ib devise mea sures to i,.crease ttie production -f cotten in the United States, on the ground that lts cultivation is manifestly so important and profitable that "t-he promptings of personal interest will secure the desired result"," anid that '"this motive is al ready attracting the capital requisite to produce a large cotton crop for the ensuing year."

Iropping in at our friend Ningsmore's gallery, we were gratified to see the evidence that he is preparing to place his rooms in something like their old order. His trip to Augusta was marked by some of the most flattering complimentary hotices from the press, in that city o' fashion and. taste, and they were deierved too. As an artist, he is certainly perfectly an fait, either in oil pictures, photographs or daguerreotypel. He Will, ih a few days, be prepared to make a tery beauti;ul vignOt card photograph, which we pre dict will be eagerly desired by all. POOR-FELLow.-The most remarkable event that has transpired in our town since the war closed, and which has attracted -as much, if not more, attention than the grand cavalcade of Brigadier General Van Wyck and Staff, with the famous brass band thrown in, has been the ap pearance on the street of the man with the suit of new store clothes. Public attention has been much exercised lbout it, and the questions, "where and how did he get this outfit," is in the mouth of everybody. White folks question and darkies look dubious. The lucky, or unlucky individtal, as the case may be, is a dear friend of ours, and we feel much concerned, lest he be driven through sensitiveness to do violtnce to himself or clotbes; so notorious is it, that he dreads making the Main street passage. At his request, which was made with deep emotion, we make public announcement that he ea:ne by the clothes honestly, having procured them from Wright & Coppock's gents outfitting and ffrnishing establishment, in the day-time, and under the anile of these gentlemen, assisted by a grin of John, the clerk. Moreo'vef, that the clothes were badly needed, being the -first store, bought rigging he has had since 1861. We trust, that be will now be allowed to promenade the streets without further molestation.
