SLOAN, M. ?). ftatov?! ?i Pw W i Wi ! ?Rt Jfc3i From Watililiigtoii. WASHINGTON, Dcocuibcr 13.-McCrecry asked leaYO to iutroduco resolution, of which he'gavo notice yesterday, proposing an inves tigation with a view to tho restoration of tho Arlington estate to tho widow of Gen. lt. E. Lee ; tho removal of graveyards on tho prem ises, ond gonoral restitution for any incum brance placod there in tho interest of tho Government. Edmunds hoped thnt leave would not bo grunted, as tho proposition to dig up thc bones of our dead soldiers, tu order that cer tain property might bc given back to its real owners, was to his mind perfectly monstrous. While entertaining thc highest respect for his friend, McCrccry, he hoped tho Seuatc would uovcr entertain tho proposition. McCrecry thon occupied twenty minutes upon the subject. Ile referred to circum stances uttcuding tho recent death of two of t' e foremost Generals on either sido in tho i?to war-Leo nud Thomas. Ile spoke of tho friendly intimacy existing between those Gcnemls up to thc commencement of tho re bellion, when Thomas followed thc starry otnblom of tho Union, and Leo resolved to stand or full by thc State that hud given him birth. McCrccry reviewed in detail tho valient feature of General Lee's civil and military scrvioea, particularly his recent efforts in connection with Jefferson College, his revolu tionary ancestry and sincero devotion to duty. Referring to thc sword ns thc least capable of all tribunals to decido a cause upon its morita, tho Speaker went on to orgue thc judgments of the sword hud not always com manded that universal respect which would huve been expected from a court of so largo a jurisdiction, and that history had enrolled the names of Hampden and Sydney upon thc list of martyrs ia the sacred oauso of right. WASHINGTON, December 13.-Gov. JJurd writp<? tho PronJdont on eight pago pamphlet. Bard cannot follow tho President into tho support of extremists. Bard says : "I could not have known that Georgia was to bc kept in a state of perpetual bondage, tho prey of irresponsible demagogues, thc associate in misery with South Carolina aud Louisiana, whoso Governors:-Scott nod War mouth fo.'tn, with Bullock, a triumvirate of unmiti guted political scoundrclism without precedent since thc latter days of the Roman Empire, arid havo cursed tho States over which they rule with plagues vorso than tho frogs and lice of Egypt. This is truth, and truth is eternal." Thc following responses wore made to McCrecry in tho Senate : Edmunds said thnt, instead of being wed ded to institutions ot Virginia, Gen. Leo was tho ward of tho nation. That nation had fed, clothed and cducuted him ; that ho lived ut tho capital, but when thc capital called upon him to defend thc flag under which he hud been horn, protected and honored, he deliberately turned his back upon it, and planted his cannon in sight of tho capital he hud sworn to protect and defend. But he (Edmunds) would not dignify such n propo sition by discussing it. Gen. Lee was now dead. Tho only rcgrot bo thought that any right-minded man who believed in thc war would have, was, that Gen. Lee hud not died cither in his youth or his patriotic manhood, or even that ho hud not di?d earlier than bo did by tho baud of tho lnw, which would have atoned in sonic measure for his orimo. Trumbull, while disclaiming sympathy with the apparent object of thc resolution, which was to surrcudor und mutilate tho last routing place of thousands of Union dead, held that it would bc, if not unprecedented, ot Joost unparliamentary to deny to a mem ber'asimplo request for leovo to introduce any legislation not in itself insulting to tho Sonate. Carpenter inquired whether Trumbull oould state a proposition moro flagrantly iu suiting to tho Senuto than that to rcniovo tho sluughtercd dead of tho Union army from Arlington for tho purpose of returning tho fur m to its rebel possessors. Trumbull replied that wbilo tho resolution was without doubt ropugnunt to tho senso of tho nation, it was not in a personal sonso in suiting to tho Senato. Ho was avcrso to tho adoption of any preoodent, tho offoct of which would bo to prevent tho freo cxeroiso of a right guaranteed to a membor of tho Sonate. Edmunds and Sumner cited two inslanocs, thc former the caso of tho proposed* anAexa Hon of TOX?S, tho latter the bill for the re ponl of tho Fugitive Slavo Aot, when request! for leave to bring in bills wore rofusod. Five additional Instanoes were enumerated by thc Vioe-FroSident. Merton protested against d?nsideration ol tho resolution. Ho had beard what ho novet oxpectcd to bear, a eulogy upon tho ohnraotoi of G encrai Leo In tho Sonnte of tho United gtstes, and that, too, within sight of gievoi of victims of his rebellion. Hampden and Sydney died not for bunion slavery, but for liborty. This mao, General Lee, was of all others thc great sinner. He had sinned against light und knowledge. His revolu tionary ancestry, his oath of fealty os an offi cer of tho Uuitcd States, his finished educa tion and high abilities, all forbado bim thus to sin, and tho enormity of bis crime could not bo conceulod by decorating bis grave with flowers of rhetoric. lu a word, it was now proposed that thc Senate should gravely con sider a proposition to degrado the memories of thc patriotic dead of Arliugton by remov ing their bones to less hallowed grouud, in tender consideration of tho rights of tho wid ow of tho arch rebel of thc most wicked ro hellion iu history. Scott said, coupling together the names of Thomas and Lee recalled the utterance of Stepheu A. Douglus, made at thc time those two Geuerals resolved to tread in opposite paths, that ot that timo there were but two classes in tho nation-patriots nnd traitors Tho patience with which tho Sonate of thc United States hud to day listened to a eulogy upon thc chief conspirator in thc attempt to tear down thc Government, was but another illustration of that unparalleled magnanimity and mercy which had characterized the treat ment by tho Government of those engaged in rebellion. Had the aubjcot of that eulogy succeeded in bis efforts, where would thc American Senato now bo sitting ? By bis triumph slavery would have east its dark shadow ull over this land of freedom, from tho St. Lawrenco to thc Gulf. Today the doctrine of secession lies buried beneath the bones of thousands, who fell that their blood might seal thc covenant of tho nation. Yet to-day wo behold tho spectacle of a res urrectionist c lining hero to drag tho dead doctrine out from beneath the boucs of tho UtltlUII'o t Aa it? ' J - - Willey characterized thc resolution os most insulting and shocking to tho sense of thc Scuatc nnd thc'/iouutry, and as ahborrcnt tc humanity. Though personally tenacious ol tho rights-of individual mombcrs, bc could not vote to receive it. Sawyer said tho Arlington estate, like thousands of acres of property in thc South had been forfeited-sold at public sale foi non payment of taxes, and bought by th< United States. In thc absence of any mc morinl from Mrs. Lee, bo regarded the con templatcd inquiry as utterly worthless, ns tin facts be bud stated were well kuown, am needed no verification. Saulsbury disapproved of that part of tb resolution looking to removal of the grave from Arlington, but he could not sec that th merits of tho cause in which General Lee wa engaged were at nil in controversy, lie rc garded thc question ns one simply of a Sent tor to exercise his right to introduce busincs; Nye sa id tho unseemly haste in certa? quarters to rcstoro traitors to favor could ri suit in no good. The verdict of to day on of poiteiity is, and will bc, that General Li was a traitor. Flanagan, in some gcnoral remarks, spol of General Lee ns the great traitor of the ag whoso inllucnco had carried into rcbclliou tl flower of Sontbcin youth. Davis, tho otlr great traitor, still lived, and iu the light recent events, it was not unreasonable to c peet un carly move to tuako bim Presiden Sumner desired that parliamentary la should bc administered upon thc present occ sion with thc utmost rigor, with a view to tl most summary disposition of the rcsolutic He bad nothing to say of General Leo, exec that his name stood upon tho catalogue these who lind imbued their bonds in tin country's blood. Ho was content to hat him over to the avenging pen of history. I regarded tho resolution as indicative of t sentiments of tho political associates tho Senator from Kentuoky, ns prcfigt ing tho policy they would establish shou tboy obtaiu power, a poliey wbioh vi to.take the old rebellion by the band and install it in tho high piucos of power. Coi ho niako bis voice boord from Mossachuso to Louisiana, it would bo to warn bis felic countrymen, especially of tho South, agaii that combination which HOW showed its ba in tho proposition of tho Senator from Ki tucky. Ho stated that bo was present wli Scorctary Stanton gavo tho order for tho ferment of tho dead bodies of Union "oldi at Arlington, and that Stanton stated at I time that Iiis purposo in solooting tho pl was to forever prohibit the re-in tennent of Leo family there ; thof if tboy did como, tl ' might oncounter the ghosts of their vidi Ho quoted tho epitaph abovo tho gr of Shakspcarc, which ho now proposed to ? nbovo tho graves of every ono of our par dead : ..Good friend, for Jesus' saki), fo.'boar To dig the dust enolosod here. Blessed be the man that spnres these stones And eura ho he that moves my bonos.'' Mr. MoCreery stated that the resolution was in no senBe an embodiment of Demooratio sentiment, but had been submitted upon his individual responsibility without consultation with his colleagues. He then asked to with? draijt tho resolution, which was refused, though finally permission to introduce it Was also refused. WASHINGTON, December 14.-In thc House, resolutions of tho Board of Trade, for the improvement of tho Louisville Caual, mouth'of the Mississippi, and prevention of bridges obstructive of navigation, were pre sented. Resolutions for a World's Fair at Philadelphia, in 187G, arc pending. In thc Senate, the Committco on Commerco Was instructed to inquire as to the expedien cy of a ship canal connecting tho Mississippi with tho Gulf of Mexico. Thc Senate was engaged all day ia discus sing a charity fund for the Government em ployees, and compensation to a Kentucky Fedoral soldier, for property destroyed during the war. Tho Senato Judiciary Committee have mode a unanimous report that Indians arc not citizens of the United States under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of tho United States, thc treaties and laws hav ing always regarded thom as independent na tions, and not interfered with in their local administrations. Thc House considered a bill for full and general grace, amnesty and oblivion of al) wrongful acts, doiogs or otnisssions of all per sons engaged in the war of tho late rebellion. Tho exceptions arc as follows : Those educa ted nt West Point or Annapolis, members of cither House of thc Federal or Confederate Congress, heads of Federal executive depart ments, Ministers abroad, Judges of Fedoral Courts, and those holding similar offices in tho Confederate Government, members of ? CUa'i'V 'Houo ._ . -_ _ MHV%I v.* ?* i UM II - ces o: secession, Governors of States which were in rebellion, Confederates who treated cruelly, or otherwise thou according to thc usages of war, Federal prisoners, persons en trusted with funds which they have not ac counted for, all deserters and bounty jumpers. The property exceptions arc as follows : All property wherein thc United States or third parties have become vested by sale, forfeiture or confiscation, and lands used now or hereto fore for Federal cemeteries, every right of no tion and liability arising under any ordinance* law or contrnot in aid of thc rebellion-and every such right shall bc deemed invalid. Butler reported thc bill, and, in explanation? said that it was drawn, mutatis mutandis, from the amnesty bill passed by tho English Patliament nftcr tho Scotch rebellion of 1745. Lawrence asked how many persons thc bil] would relievo. Butler replied that it prevented legal trou ble or vexation. It would relieve every man who held tho offlco of postmaster, sheriff ot constable, boforc tho war, and had takon thc outh to support thc Constitution. As to th< excepted classes, all that they had to do wat to como to Congress heroaftcr, and pctkior for a removal of their disabilities. Beck offered a substituto for thc bill, ai follows : That all persons, other than thosi hereinafter excepted, now disqualified to hob office, by tho third section of tho fourtccntl article of amendment to tho Constitution o tho United States, aro hereby relieved froc such disabilities, and tho samo is hereby rc moved from and ofter the passage of th i Aot, except from tho following classes of pot sons-t 1st. Whoever, having been educate* at tho military academy nt West Point or th naval school at Annapolis, shall have engage in tho rebellion and insurrection against th United States, or given aid and comfort to th enemies thereof. 2d. Whoever, having bec a member of cither House of Congress of th United Statos, shall havo engaged in rebe lion against thc same, or givon nid and com foi to tho enemies thoroof. 3d. Whoover sha have held tho office of head of one oxcontiv departments of tho Government of tho Unite States, or Ministers Plenipotentiary, or Mit isters Resident, or Judgo of any Court und< tho United States, and shall havo engaged i rebellion or insurrection against the same, < given aid and comfort to tho enemies therce Farnsworth offered a substituto for tl whole bill, os follows : That all political dis bilities imposed by tho tl 'td seotion of tl fourtconth amendment of tho Constitution a hereby removed. ningham moved a substituto for the fir section, removing all political disabilities fro all persons except such as wcro Senators Representatives in Congress in thoyoars 18( sid 1801, cr yara in either of ?v?uh ye*n? t ficera in tho army or navy of the Unit States, hoads of departments, Unltod Stat Judges and United States Ministers, and c cept all who, tn violation of that amendmei hnvo hold office since the first of Juno, 18? Butler announced his purpose to have t vote taken on the bill at 3 o'clock to morrow Beck opposed thc bill. Ho boped that tho House would adopt tho substitute offered by Mr Fan > ,,orth ; but if not, then ho hoped that bis ovu substitute would bo agreed to. Ho said it was a bill of pains and penalties, making odious discrimiuatioos. Ho had never seen a bill that was farther from carry ing out the objects which it professed to car ry out. It was ? bill adding iusult to injury. He believed that thc Republican party and thc Republican press desire to have general amueBty extended. Ho thought that that party bad lost State after State by Congress refusing to pass such a bill ; that it would con tinue to loso State after State so long as Con. gross maintained that position. Rotter advocated tho adoption of Farns worth's substitute. He believed that that proposition will bo fonud to bc not only tho most generous, but the most patriotio uud wis est. At the conclusion of Potter's remarks, the bill then went over till to-morrow. Dawes, from tho Appropriation committee, reported thc legislative, judicial aud exeou* tivo appropriation bill ; which was made the 8pooial order for Tuesday next. It appropri ates about $20,000,000. Congressman Rowen gave $5,000 bail to answer the charge of bigamy. Bowen asks an early trial. UNITED STATKS CIRCUIT COURT-Hon. Geo. S. Bryan presiding. Tho Court was opened at ll a. m.

Garlington & Simpson-tho State by Solicitor W. H. Talley. Messrs. Dunbar and Worthington also appeared against tho prisoners in some capacity not known to us. Pouding tho hear ing of tho caso, Judge Vernon was served with a notice of a resolution of impeachment by the Legislature, and thc effort was made by Messrs. Dunbar and Worthington to so curo a delay of the caso. Judge Vernon de oided to hear the cnsG through an I to givo bis decision. The result was that tho priso ners were discharged on giving bail in the sum of 85,000 each. Tho following are tho names of tho mon thus discharged : B. S. Jones, R. P. Todd, Hugh h.

COLUMHiA, Deo. 14.-In tho 11 ouse, M?? Whipper, from the speoir.1! committeo oppqint cd to invest?galo tho official conduct of Judge Vcrnoo, submitted a report, recommending ? that he bo immediately suspended and itu poached for high crimes and misdemeanors. Mr. Wilkes had recorded on the Journal tho following : Upon tho resolution to im peach Judgo Vernon, I vote nay, for tho rea- ' son that I do not consider tho evidence suffi cient to put him upon Iiis defence. I think that more than ono witness to tho samo fact should have been examined. I do not doubt tho vcrnoity of any witness who testified be fore the special committee. My objection above relates to the quantity of ovidenoo. Thc testimony given beforo tho committee was read by tho Clerk. Mr. II. M. Smith made some remarks against the adoptiou of tho roport, asserting that Judge Vernon had dono nothing but what he was required to do by low, and that ho believed thc resolution was intended to suspend thc writ of habeas corpus, and that it would have that effect, if hurried through. He protested against tho Legislature stepping in between thc citizens of thc State and their great civil right-thc writ of habeas corpus. He said that if Judgo Vernon was iinpeaobcd for issuing these writs, no other Judgo would dare to issue another, while the General As. 6ombly was sitting. Ho hoped tho House would oot pander to thc projudices and wish es of a few who arc pressiog them on for po litical purposes. A colored member asked bim, as a kind of justification for pressing the matter, if tho political rights of thc pcoplo were not their most valuablo ones ? Ho replied, to this senseless question, that not having enjoyed political rights lately, ho was not prepared to answer it. address by Mr. Crews and other Republican members, but they did not succeed in preven ting bim from expressing bis opinion on the question. Mr. Smith moved that the consideration of tho report of tho committee be tnndc the apo* o:al order for to morrow at 1 o'clock, and that thc proceedings of tho committee and tho ev idence taken before them bc printed. Mr Moblcy opposed thc postponement of the resolution ; said that he had heard that Mr. Smith was closely conneotcd with tho Ku Klux Klan, and moved to lay on thc table tho motion to postpone. Adopted. Thc question was then tuken on adopting thc report of thc committco, and tho yeas and nays wore called resulting-yeas 03; nays 19. Mr Bvas offered a resolution, Ihai a com mittee of five bc select,ul to appour at tho bar of thc Senate and announce to them that the House had impeached Judgo Vernon, and would present in due time articles on im peachment.

COLUMBIA, Deo. 15.-In thc House, tho Sergeant at arms reported that ho lind deliv ered Judgo Vcr?on a communication from tho clerk, informing him of his impeachment. Mr. Crews offered a resolution that tho Speaker bo instructed to ordor Judge Vernon - to appear forthwith at the bar of tho House, and show cause, why ho should not be attached for a contempt, in performing tho functions of a Judge after tho receipt of a com munica tion informing him of his impooohment, Mr. lt. M. Smith objected, on th? ground that as Judge Vernou is to bo tried before tho Senato, ho is subject to its jurisdiction, and is not at liberty to obey tho summons of th ) Speaker. Messrs. Wilkes, Crittenden und Sello,a op* posed it, on tho ground that Judge Vernou did not commit suoh a contempt os the House could punish, under the Constitution. Mr. Crews said that ho liked Judge Vcr non os a mon, but despised him uA.n Judpe, and wanted bis hoad entirely out off. "If Judgo Vernon is brought here, two thirds of tho members will say tbot ho is drunk M Messrs. J. A. Davis and Bosenion expressed the intontion to volo against tho resolutlbu, bcoauBO they conscientiously bol'ovcd that they should do so, and though they had a right to voto ns thoy thought best.
