Mr. Stewart introduced a bill amend ing hia lormor propositions, which ho intonds to offor as a anbatitute for the ponding report of the Reoonatruction Committee. The bill to prevent smuggling on the Northern frontier waa post poned until to-day. In the House a resolution was adopted instruct ing the Judiciary Com mittue to inquire into tho expediency of altering the laws so as to abrogate the tenure of office at the pleasure of tho appoint ing power, and to limit the holding of official trusts to timea fixed, subject only to the condition of good behavior. A resolution waa adopted to Bend a committee of threo to investigate the Mem phis riots. Mr. Chanler, of New York, offered a r?solution to the effect that the course of the Presi dent in vetoing the Civil Rights bill meeta with the approval of this Honae, and that the Houso believea the Freedmen'a Bureau bill unnecessary and unconstitutional. Mr. Schenok raised a point of order, which waa pot allowed. The i ?solutions Were but to the Vote, and tho House refusod to receive thom.

The following Washington news and goasip we make up from the Washing correspondence (dated 14th) of our New York exchanges : __ B_IENTATIVE CUANLKH CENSUHE? BY THE BOD8E FOB ENDORSING THE I'll EH I OK NT AN? DEMO UNO I NO THE UADICAJ-, ' : . Mr. Chanler, of New York, offered a series of resolntions in the House to-day, endorsing the President's policy and conree, which, in seeking "to protect, bv tiio veto.power, the rights of the people of this Union against tbe revolutionary acts jf a few malignant and I miaoUievoua men, meets lYith the approval of the House, and deserves the i -rdial support of all loyal citizens of the United i 3tatos;" and that "the Freed-en's Bureau ia un- < ?eccssary and unconstitutional." Before the read- ; ng of the resolution was completed, Mr. Scheuck, i it Ohio, indignantly rose to a point of order, 1 ivhioh was that the first resolution was a direct ] tnd flagrant insult to the House, and ahould not m entertained. Tho Speaker decided that the Sonee must be the judge as to the insult, and did mt sustain Mr. Bohenok in the point raisod. Mr. 3chenck then moved that the resolution be reject- ' 3d, which was oarried. Mr. Scbeuck then o?-rod i r?solution that a vote of censuro bo pas-ed for < ;he insult offered to Iho Home by Mr. Chauler, ] mon which he demanded the previous question.- ? rho Houao seconded tho demand by a vote of ' ?3 to 39. Upon a motion to lay tho resolution on i he tablo, Mr. Chanler obtained the floor and < nade an effort to dofend bis resolutions. Ho con- < ended that no one but himself knew tho motive i .bat prompted him to offer the resolutions, and ? io one could say that ho intended to insult the " louao. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, wished t lim to stato to whom he referred when ho spoke ' if "the wicked and revolutionary acta of a few i ualignant and mischievious men." Mr. Chanler eplied by Baying that he referred to every malig- I lant and miechievious man in the countrv < rho opposed the President's veto of the Civil I lights Bill. He finally refused to answer any - nore questions, and wound np by saying that he i rould, if ho had the power by bid vote, crush out < he infamous majority in that body, and would ? onsign Tbad Stevens to the same hell to whiob ' io (Thad) would consign five hundred thousand t itizens of the Union. The House then passed 1 he resolution of consnre by a vote of 74 to SO. ? THE TAX BILL. At throe o'clock the Houso took r he Tax bill ] nd discussed some unimportant amendments, ut upon coming to a vote it was found a quorum ras not present, when it adjourned. The Committee on Ways and Means are busily J ngagod in considering additional amendments to J tie bill, which will be offered from day to day as . he sections are considered. It is thought proba- > le that some considerable additions will be made * ? the exemption list. Indications now are that ? bore will be a great deal of opposition to tho re- * notion of the ten per cent, inoojno tax, and that ' his measure will fail in the House. There will also I o an attempt made to change the tax on eegars ? rom thoso now proposed by toe committee to the l d valorem standard adopted sonic years ago, J rhioh failed to give any legitimate revenue. The stringent provisions of the bill relative to * ?stilling will not pass the House without con- <? iderable opposition from mombers who feel that " ho bill ae reported will effectually break down ,nd destroy tho operations of small distillers of pplijack and old Bourbon in their districts. The lhairman of the Committee hopes to get the bill < brough the House by the close of the week; bnt 1 f the Houso makes no greater progress than it ' lae to-day, this will not be accomplished. It is understood that tho Tariff Bill will not bo < liscuseed in the Ways and Means Committee un- < il the Internal Revenue Bill is disposed of. ' Mtt STEWABT'S PLAN OF BB0038TBUC-Olf. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Stewart of Nevada, | iffered a substitute for his former proposition of inivereal amnesty for uuivorai suffrano. The ( imended bill provides for impartial suffrage, to j vhich the States lately in rebellion are required | o give their aesont as a condition to their return .o the Uni _. It excludes from office the Presi* i lent and Viee-President of the ao-oalled Confed- j ?racy, metnbors of the Thirty-sixth Congress and leads of Departments who wont into the rebellion, . md also thoso who were cruel to Unton prisoners. \ Jil complying with tneso terms tho States men lonou are to be admitted and universal amnesty , leclared. , PABDOSS.

[Correspondence New York World J NVAIAINOTON, May 7.-It ia tho univorsal toali moiiv?r all unprejudiced observera-intollfgont, Mid jualillod by examination and experience to speafupon tho subject-that tho claBs of mou in tho tholo South most quick to cmiprehoud, and mos/aiixious to rorforni, the dutiea of citizens of tho united HtiitrH, uro tho 1 tto soldiery of tho Cou fedracy. Mr. Trumin, the correspondent of the Tillea, la tho last witness upon this point; and tho opportunities ho had of learning, and tho capacity Injinu ol' judging, must bo apparent to every ono w/o reads bia vory iutoreating lettors. This ia li? vory elai>8 of mou which tho Radicals propuso ti disfranchise, for a timo at least. If tho object if what is facetiously termed tho Union party, ?neus a non lucendo, ia tho temporary prceorva ion of political power, the action of tho majority ,u Congrega ia very wise; if not, it is vory foolish. Whouovor a party ia originally composed, as was the Republican party, one-eighth fanatics, one-eighth scoundrels, and aix-oightha ignorants, the fan?tica or the scoundrelB always dicUto ita policy, and mako tho fools say ami unsay, turn somersaults, or eat the dirt of tbo ring at the crack of the whip. Lincoln, who waa the moat cunning roan in tho Union, and who had just exactly that calibre of ititolloct which is consistent with cunning, appre ciated at its oxact valuo so precisely the average Ignorance of hia fellow-oitizons, that ho put for ward tho most monstrous propositions without any fear of their fallacies being detected. In his first inaugural he told the Union and the (vorhl that, if judges were to decido upon law, and If their decisions wcro to form rulea of human action, then the people had pnt tho power out of their own hand?. If he had put hia idea in fewer words, and said the proper judicial tribunal is tho ballot-box, tho absurdity would have boon moro palpable; but it could never have been too palpa ble or too groas for his party to swallow. So, whon he said if slavery is not wrong no thing in wrong, and that he had always thongbt ao. ho either aaid what he did not beliovo, or ho showed that he was utterly incapable of distin guishing how it happens that such words as right and wrong occur iu any language, or have any foundation iu human naturo and the conduct of human life. The truth in relation to Mr. Lincoln ia that ho was a man of very strong natural parts, probably of a very kind, genial nature, but who was only half educated. He had learned to do everything but judge. His great power consisted iu knowing about as muoh aa men generally know, and in feeling as men generally feel. If the statesmen who conducted the Colonial cause had been SB shallow in their learning, and as little romovod from the iuovitablo ignorance of tho masses upon the great subject of government, Greeley would have been a loyal eubjoctof Vic tori '..writing about Qeorgo Washington as he writes about John Mitchell. How thoroughly eduoatod tho great loaders of tho Colonies wore; how thoroughly familiar with Locke and Montesquieu, Machiavelli, and the great Greek and Latin recorders of the life of the Qroek unions and of the Roman ropuolio, any one sees lnstan< ly who is at all familiar with tho his tory of that glorious era. In faot Lincoln, like Greeley, did not know the history even of hia own country; for we would not io lils memory the Injustice to suppose that when practically he asserted that the Union mado the Constitution, not the Constitution the Union, he uttered an untruth instead of a mistake. The six-eight hs of which we spoke, the ignorants were just the class Mr. Lincoln represeuted, aa Beecher and Garrison did the fanatical one-eighth; ?nd those lawyers who, well eduoated and know ing the truth,'used the honest impulses of the aoneat masses to get power and profit at any price, were the scoundrel one-eighth. The masses of men in the free States never meant to be dishonest ; never meant to take from ? houthern State a right, nor from a Southern nan a cent. They were told by their leaders that . subject was within their jurisdiction wbioh was iot within their jurisdiction, and they decided as it was proper for them to decide, if the subject bad bee ti within their Jurisdiction. What those masses want now is tho Union they 'ought for; the men they respect aro tbe men :hey fought against; take away the antagonism of jarlv, and seven-tenths of the white citizens of ho Union care no moro about tho rights of tho .lacks than Greeley caros for the horror which he spirit of Bean Brummel, in spiritual circle lumber seventy-seventh million, expresses to the ? pint of an inquiring Bostoncse at the white coat it Philosopher Squirm. If Sumner and Stevena vant the Democratic party reatored to power, hey are taking the moat effectual means to secure hat object. It ia bound to come in very shortly; vbetker it will come in mild and beneficent, with ?harity aud conciliation, as always befuro, or im latieut to avenge aud swift to strike, dependa ipon the present majority. O. ?-. ABOUT THE ROBEAU.-The Rochestor, N. Y., Ad mrttttr, an able and influential journal, says that he evidence which ia coming out shows "the in aniotis character of tho agents employed in man ging the Freedmon's Bureau at tho .South." The evelations made, it declares, discloses the faot hat "the poor negroeB are physically abused and lecnniarily robbed and made the instrument of ain by those professed philanthropists who are ilacod over them ostensibly for their protection.'' teferring to the late riot at Memphis,which it says riginated in an attack of drunken negro f "?diera pon the police, the Advertiser concludes that the espousib iii ty ''ia to be traced directly to the course f those Northern fanatics and fools who have aught the negro of the South, just emerged from lavery, that ne Is the equal in all things of the rhito citizen, and by their teachings nave infused ito him a spirit of independence which loads him o oonolude that he is responsible to no law, a pirit of liberty that tells him he haa no longer to ?bor, and that he enjoys a perfect right to prey ipon the property of nie late master, and a spirit f Insubordination which' renders bim a danger U8 element in- society. Tho labors of these 'orthern emissaries, most of whom are placemen i the Freedmen's Bureau, have been openly oar ied on. There ha? been no disguise In the mat er.

' . C?, IV;t ( SOCIAL. LI FIG OF YOUNO KUN Iii NKW YORK. [From the Tribune.] Now York is tho Mecca of American youths. Our country lads outstrip thoso of oidor lands iii ambition and cnterpriec, and moro early set their faces toward tho great marls where suoceso can bo most largely gained, if gained nt all. They come, fre>-li from tho dewy influencon of home, to stake their youth, faith and purity against wealth, fame, or powor. Wo havo always deprecated this rush to tho city-where so many seem to bo called and s<> lew chosen. Half theso aspirants would bo doing hotter for tho country ami themselves tilling tho farms on which they wore horn, or re claiming their proportions of our Western do main. But como thoy will, in constantly increasing number?; and we havo to accept tho fact, aud to lend them a helping haud in thoir trinl-yoars of loneliness and temptation. The young men now overcrowding this metrop olis are, in the futuro, to sustain or surrender tho foremost position eho now commands. Let our mercantile and social leaders consider whether, in thoir indifference to the welfare of this class, thev aro not sowing the wind for a whirlwind of profligacy and dishonor. If this be so, their sin of omission transcends a host of minor, positivo offences. We aro impressed with tho statistics of this subject. By tbo census of 1860, our male popula tion, between tho ages of 15 and SO, amounted to 111,091. I?o; ?mating its increase during and since the war, thoro are now among us at least 150,000 young men-an aotivo portion of the laborious, excitablo life of this great unmindful city. Two thirds are without resident friends or kindred, striving to c- nquer a foothold-and how hard the contest! What daily widening gaps between thoso who havo succeeded and those just entoring the field I Neither the religion nor the social en joyment of our prosperous mon seems broad enough te include thoir emplovees. Look at the growth of aristocracy and exclusiveness ; the whirl of folly, luxury and fashion : the enormous cost of subsistence : tho meagro salarios in voguo ; and see what chance of comfort or sympathetic ease the town has to proffer her 100,000 clerks, apprentices and students. Herded together in the beds and attics of boarding-houses, shut out from the happy homes established by long resi dence and success, thoy aro almost driven to the public saloon for light and warmth, and for that friendly companionship whiob, either for good or evil, youth instinctively craves and will obtain. The employers aro surrounded with all tho ap purtenances which make virtue attractive and easy to pursue. Tho employees aro not only urged into vico by their discomforts, but it is vice alone who tenders them an alluring hospitality. She sets forth her 7,786 convenient bar-rooms, her 653 billiard tables, her 100 gambling hells, her 235 concert saloons, and 730 registered houses of pros titution-in all of which every young man will meet a cordial and kind welcome. Why, here is a whole army with banners, a sonorous and glittering ar ray, perpetually recruiting for those powers of evil wbioh our philanthropists claim to oppose. It is estimated that the receipts of the " pretty waitor-girl" saloons and of tho houses of ill-fame alone, amount to the annual sum of $6,500,000. Add to this enormous item the immense inconio of the drain-shops, and you have an exhauntles-? commissary-chest for the maintenance of the Sa tanic campaign. What are the forces on the other side ? Item : a few Evening Schools; the Apprentices' Library and the Printers' Free Library; neither sufficient for the class designated in its title; item: tho Mercantile Library, a riuhly endowed, noble insti tution, but which does not directly aim at social and moral influence, and offers no attractions without charge; item: the Cooper Union, in many respects the most comprehensive and efficient of all, but limited in comparison with the field around it; item: 50 attractive places of worship, too fash ionablo and expensive for young men to attend; item: 801 places of worship, where the sittings are at moderate rates, but the preaching aud exer cises or whiob, not to be irreverent, the young men consider dear at any price. The Young Men's Christian Asso nation, how ever, forms a vanguard of encouraging influences, and bids fair to be a host in itself. It has latterly been managed by earnest and accomplished young men, belonging to resident families, who devote timo and money without atint to befriend ing those less fortunate than themselves. There are literary, social and religious facilities at the rooms cf the Association, and its members per form a deal of gratuitous labor in finding aid and employment for those newly arrived and out of work. Committees "On Boarding-H"uaee," "On Employment," and "On Visitation of the Sick," are significant ol' the practical turn which the Christianity of this Association has taken. The managers are now essaying to increase their means to the proportions of tho work in hand, and, cspecial'y, to' erect rt building which will readily enable them to offer social and m? ral attractions to tho young mon of New York. Their design includes a Lecture Boom, Reading Room, Circulating and Reforonce Librarioe, Conversa tion Rooms, a Gymnasium, and other means of recreation and advancement. Such a house could not fail to become a general place of resort. For its erection and endowmont they ask the sum of $250,000. The amount, if large, ia nothing in con sideration of the object to be gained, and our gen erous merchants, if they choose, can raise it in a single day. They can find no better use for sur plus funds, since this is almost the first move ment, of a truly philosophical nature, iii behalf of the youths of this city. It is based upon Hea ven's own plan-that of making the instincts and tastes of tue young subserve to their growth and well-being. Young men lore, and will seek for, brightness, friendship, entertainment, love, eoole ty. Give them something of all this in the pure and natural way, if von would offer any effective opposition to the saloon, the gambling-hell, and the brothel. It is strange that tho gathering forces of cor ruption which redden our thoroughfares at night with their lurid watohfires, do not awaken an alarm among us. We fear the coming pestilence, and have overthrown the routine of years to stay its advent. But what of this moral plague? "It is not so diffioult, O Athenians, to esoapu tho pes tilence; but, first of all, flee depravity, for it conrees swifter than Doathl" -as? TUB FAILURE or NATIONAL BANKS.-Tho Mer chants' National Bank swindle ia still undergoing investigation, both by the Treasury and War Departments. A number of witnesses were examined on Friday, among thom Mr. Sherman, tbo cashier of the defunct insti ution. The deep er the Government officials get into the dotails the plainer it is shown that the whole affair, from beginning to end, was a swindle. It is reported that special committees in both Bouses will bo demanded to inquire into the management of the National Banks designated as Government depositories. ' ? ? a GEM. TOOKIM or GEOBOIA.-Information has been roceived that General Toomba, who disap peared so mysteriously a year ago, is now in Ha vana, negotiating for a sugar estate.

If the Emperor promised to sustain Maximilian, he would tell tho Emperor that ho had still a little money with wbioh to make a home in Moxlco for his family, while the balance of his fortuno be was willing to luvest in powder and shot.
