TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1806. From the Federal Capital. [SPECIAL COBBESPONDENOE CHARLESTON DAILY. NEWS.] VTASIUKQTON, December 21.-The dobate in the Senate on the bill to admit Nebraska, has revealed the fact or rather oonfirmcd it, that tho Radicals have no intent en of adhering to their plea for ?'human righta," wben it is for their interests to rosort to expediente. GBATZ BROWN'S amendment to the bill mako3 ne? gro suffrage a fundamental condition to the ad? mission o? Nebraska a's a State. It requires tho people of Nebraska lo allow Congress to dictato its constitution, and to submit Ihc reserved rights of the State^to its keeping. But this extraordinary doctrine, strange au it may appear, does not meet an unanimous response even from thoso who have embraced thc fanatic il faith. There is no division of sentiment upon this question, when considered with reference to the Southern Stiller, as exemplified in tho speeches of those members who have defined negro sufirage as a condition precedent to tho admission of the rep? resentatives of taoiio Staled in C ingress; but as applied to tho admission of the Territory of Ne? braska it is lK'ld by Howard, of Michigan, who op Eosos Brown's amendment, that to exact a suf .ase condition is a dangerous precedent. They arc for admitting Nebraska upon tho plea that tho country is encountering a critical exigency, and thoy assent to thc" charge of parfcizan motives upon the ground that it is patriotic to augment the Radical strength in order to resist the gigantic strides ol' Executive power. This was the frank admission of Senator ll .ward, of Michigan, audit was endorsed by Wilson, of Massachusetts, who was willing to forego his animosity to tho wor ' "white"' for thc purpose of achieving an addition to thc two-thirds power of the Senate. Wado, of Ohio, has also commit.cd himself to this ques? tionable logic. During tlio protracted discussion which took j place on Wednesday, Senator Doolittle, of Wiscon? sin, materially discomposed tho Radical members by an abu- ion to some of tiic work of tho last ses? sion. A""briet allusion to tliis point in tho debate may not be uninteresting. Tor tb.. piuposc of "smoking out" Wilson and Wade, ho put tue plain inquiry whether the faith of Congress was piedgcd.to the admission of the Southern States on tuc adoption of tho Constitu? tional Amendment. i Wilson denied that Congress had made any plcdges, and affirmed that he would go to the utmost verge in insisting that Hie South must respect the rights of life, liberty and property,.and the only way to do this was to give the. ballot to thc nc gr?os. Wade was silent, notwithstanding he had aveirod previously that five of the Southern States had re? jected tiic Constitutional Amendment, thus refus? ing thc terms proffered by Co grose. Mr. Doolittle read froni tho Bill reported bj- tho Reconstruction Committee, and showed that the right of the South to vote on the amendment was recognized-that tho faith of Congress was fledg? ed to thc admission of thc Southern States, on their adoption of the amendment, and that a pecu? niary consideration was held out to them to gain their assent, by a postponement of tho payment of taxes for ten years. But the exposure cf these inconsistencies have no othor effect than to produce present annoyance. Tho plan is to admit new States in ordor to add to thc Radical power of thc Senate, not so much be? cause it is needed ab this time, but to guard against th3 possibility of a political change that may bu brought about during the next two years. But Nebraska may have to wait. Even thc fa? natical forces, who have exclusive control of thc situation, cannot agree as to the details. Congress has adjourned for tue recess, and the merits of the amendment 3, or even the BUI itself, have not been half disciu .-ed. Wade, whose patience would not brook delay, dared not push the question to a teat. In any form in which it might nave come no, it could not at this time have passed the Senate by a two-thirds vote. This fact is known and appre? ciated, as weil as that more important considera? tion, that th?President Will veto the Bill, for the same reasons that ho refused to assent to the ad? mission of Colorado. Nebraska must wait. One of the charges which the Radicals prefer against the President, and which they assume justifies their contemplated effort to impeach him, is that he has made au unjustifiable or corrupt use of the appointing powsr. tendering the benefits of office to those who would support him. To the extent that he has appropriated this prerogative, j he has used it in accordance with the custom of his predecessors. Ho has not claimed that ex? traordinary virtue of loving his jiolitical revilers; and while some of them have Deon removed, he has exercised more than ordinary forbearance to? wards a large prop ;rtion who havo pl aced no re? straint upon their hos iii Ly, nor circumscribed the limits of abuse. Tho acts of Mr. Lincoln, it has boen.claimed by the enemies of the President, were in all respects worthy of his imitation, and they have re? cently referred to thc;n as having a direct bearing upon this subject. It was during a discussion in the House, in which Mr. O'Neill declared that Abraham Lincoln novcr permitted nor acquiesced in any transactions of a proscriptive nature. To this Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, put in a very effective rojoinder. He aifirmcd that during his administration, the late President had written an autograph letter, to bo read to the workmen in the Navy Yard at Philadelphia, demanding that he (Mr. Randall) should be beaten at all hazards. That during the samo administration secret com? mittees had been organized in that Navy Yard, to inquire into the politics of the -employees; and | that every woman who had a brother, or father, or husband who was a Democrat, had been denied tho ! privilego of serving in the United States arsonaL If the Radicals do finally -vindicate their courage by carrying out their threatened plan of attempt? ing to impeach the President, it will result in some revelations that'"will show, how their power has been attained and sought to be perpetuated. The investigation will be retrospective, and bring .'o light transactions that have never been exposed to the searching test of a legal tribunal. It will not be well for those who seek to depose the present Executive to forget that, until very recently, he has been in the confidence of the Republican party, and that something mav be exposed in the way of contrast: that will make his official acts appear puro and spotless by comparison.

THE SHIPPING OS THE UNITED STATES.-The fol? lowing sta ement will show the terrible effect the late war had on American shipping,-that ship building in tho United States has been, according to the report of tho Secretary of the Treasury,~,al? most destroyed, and, according to ' Northern jour? nals, native commerce is on the road to extinguish? ment. For the last six years the commerc? of the United States, has fallen. behind that of' Graat Britain fully fifty' per cent, and continues toreoede year by year. The following statement of the Sec? retary gives confirmation to this assertion and be? gins to awaken, undisgrri^?d alann: ;; The tonnage of American vessels engaged in the foreign carrying trade which entered United States ports was_ In 1860.tons.. 5,921,205 In 18G5.2,918,661 In 1886..,..3,372,090 Tho tonnage of such vessels which -wore cleared from ?be United States was- ti - ? g?.-g In 1860.r fi.tons. ?B.165.924 In 1855 . 3,025,134 In 1866.3,383,176 The tonnage of for. ign vessels which entered oar ports - In 1860.tons. .2,353,911 tn 1865. ...r.?.3,216,967.

December 25 * BUSINESS NOTICES. The Equitable Life Aajuranco Society. This society has but to continuo its present rate of ad? vancement to win the foremost position. Its progress du? ring tho seven and a quarter years of its existence is un? paralleled in thc whole history of Life Insurance. When wo consider its a?e, lind tho excess of thc sum it insured in I860 over that of 18G5. \vhic"'> is larger than the similar increase of any other American Company, excepting only thc Mutual Life, the marvellous magnitude of its growth becomes apparent. This year's business surpasses that of the.previous year by the surprising sum of nearly SIG, 000,000. It appears almost incredible that so vast an increase could have taken place within so short a I time, and it shows that the favor and patronage extended to this company havo become almost national in their I character. Its mercase in premium and interest receipts is ex? ceeded only by three companies. Its annual ga:n in tho number of policies issued is exceeded, by only two other companies. In one respect it is superior to all its riv.il?. It3 policies are, on the average, largor in amount than than those of any other American Company, without ex? ception, which proves that its insured belong principally to the wealthier classes, in possession of those comforts and conveniences thatiaor?aso tho likelihood of the ful? fillment of their utmost expectation of life. It is not difficult to express gi eat Life Insurance sums in figures; butthGir moral and social effect, who can esti? mate or even imagine ? The amount insured by thc so? ciety during tho year is $26,3-17,000. Only four other companies show sums comparable to this grand annual total, which, as a provision for tho wido w and orphan, surpasses the labor of many admirable instituti ons du? ring tho entire term of their existence. Of tho twenty two companies organized in this State (New York), five of which are older than tho "Equitable," the latter rank second in tho amount of new business during tho year, and the ratio of claims paid to total income is smaller than that of any of thc fivo companies aforementioned. The society's premium receipts amounted, at tho close of the year, to $1,745,300, which, with its gain from inter? est, $109,494-, expand its annual income to the proportions of a royal revenue amounting to $1,854,835; while its assets amount to nearly $3,000,000. Thc ratio of its "claims paid" to its income affords the strongestproof of the care and accurate judgment which have been exer? cised in tho selection of its risks. Yet no company is more liberal in its dealings or more prompt in the pay? ment of its losses. Tho complete satisfaction it has given in these respects, and the fact that it has never yet contested a claim on one of its policies, accounts, in some measure, for the extraordinary and growing popularity it enjoys. Notwithstanding the energy displayed by the officers and agents of the Equitable in diffusing tho benefits of Life Insurance, and in placing tho society's claims fairly and prominently before the publ'c, its management (as is demonstrated by the ratio of its total expenditures to its total receipts) is as econoTnin.il as it is brilliant and suc? cessful From these facts and figures, tho inevitable conclusion is deduced that this society is manag cd by live men-men who have not only mastered every detail of their profes? sion, but who are also thoroughly imbued with the spirit that is solving the problems of modern life, end pro? moting the improvement and extending the practice of social science and art. The society has been very fortunate in securing the acceptance of thc offico of Secretary by JAKES W. ALEX? ANDER, ESQ., who was a member of the legal firm of COMMINS, ALEXANDER k GREEN, of New York, and who brings to the servico of the society qualities peculiarly adapted to the position, ai well as the experience ac? quired in his profession. Dr. EDWARD W. LAMBERT is another complete master of his situation. Tho res alta of his management-of the medical department, to which wc have already alluded, prove it. Tho society's other officers are experienced men, known to the insurance fraternity, and, under such directio , and with the splendid start it has already gained, nothing can prevent its continued triumph, and its final attainment of the utmost height to which it aspires.

TICAL WITH PERUVIAN. IT DIFFERS ONLY IN THE PROPORTIONS OF THE SAME ELEMENTS. WHILE TI. CONTAINS LESS AMMONIA, IT HAS nearly twice the quantity of Phosphate of Lime, 15 per cent of which is immediately soluble. Its effects m Cotton tho past season have, j in many instances,, ex? celled Peruvian Guano. It has in no case proved less ac avo in the early growth of the crop. Whon drought in? tervenes the crop does not suffer from its use as is the ase with Peruvian Guano. By reason of the presence in it of so large aper cent, of Phosphate of Limo its use iin? ji ovos the soil to an extent that cannot be realised from Peruvian Guano.
