WASHINGTON, January 15_In tho Senate, Mr. Wiley presented a momoriat for a Constitutional Amendment abolishing all inequality in political rights on account of raco and color. It was re? ferred to tho Finance Committee. In the House, on motion of Mr. Cobb, the Com? mittee on Cliiims was instructed to ascertain and report the facts connected with the capture of Jef? ferson Davis and tho connection of the 4th Michi? gan and 1st Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment? there? with. Tho committee has power to sond for per? sons and papers. The House then proceeded to thc consideration of the Nebraska Hill, and a general debate followed; n vote to bo taken at 3 o'clock. The Chair laid before the Senate a communica? tion from the Governor of South Carolina, trans? mitting tho certificate of election of James B. Campbell. Luid on the table. Mr. Howard called up the resolution heretofore introduced by him, instructing the Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire into the present re? lations bctivccn France, Mexico and tho United States-as to tho possibility of the withdrawal of the French troops, aud tho ability of Maximilian to sustain himself, &c. Mr. Howard said our trade and commerce had been so much injured by a war camed on during sevoral years, tho countrv wanted to know tho exact status. The dignity and interest of this nation require that this Govern? ment should take such measures as will secure the immediate restoration of poace and tho reinstate? ment ol" the Republican Government. The resolu? tion was laid aside for the bill regulating tho ten? ure of omeo, and tho latter was discussed up to the time of adjournment. > Tho House took up the Bill for the admission of Nebraska into tho Union. The Senate had inserted thc condition io admission that thc word "white" in tho Nebraska Constitution should not discrimi? nate against citizens on account of race or color. Mr. Bo ut well moved to amend by substituting as a condition precedent, that tho "Nebraska Legisla? ture should give suffrago to all, without distinction of race or color. During thc debate Mr. Davis, of Now York, de? cided that if Congi ess had a right to impose con ditions upon a now State, it could also enforce these conditions without thc cousent of tho peo? ple. Farnesworth said tbat Congress plainly hod that right. It was ?impiy granting a Territory a charter to bec mc a Stato, and there was as much authority to impose a condition as to impose a condition on a Territory while it is a Territory. Wirt, Kyard and others "opposed the Bill, when "it was passed, with Boutwoll's amendment, 103 against 53. Thc Bill for the admission of Colorado, with similar amendments, passed by a vote of 90 against 53.

Our Washington Letter. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF Ixiti DAILY NEWS.] IMPEACHMENT. WASHINGTON, January 12.-Tho impeachment has taken definite shape, sinco my last letter on that subject to THE NEWS, and tho inquisition may now bo considered duly inaugurated under auspi? ces duly Radical. Tho first act of the committeo was to have a sort of informal talle over the wholo matter, to which ASHLEY, the mover of tho im? peachment resolution now boforo them, was in? vited. Mr. BOOEBS, tho sole Democrat on the com? mittee, received no intimation that thorc was to bo conforonco of this character, and, thoroforo, failed to put in an appearance. This initial discussion of tho question of prosecuting tho Executivo elicited a fact that overv old congressional observer had already surmised, viz.: that ASHLEY was without pi oof or reason to back up tho charges he had submitted. This was in nowise a surprise to his partisan friends on tho committee, who have kuown, throughout, of his cntiro irresponsibility, nnd want of oven montai capacitv in the conduct bf legislation. Tho talk that ensued finally resulted ' in a determination to make a pretence of appoint? ing throo of tho committee-Bouf-woll, of Massachu? setts, Wilson, of Iowa, and Williams, of Pennsylva? nia-to act as a sub-committee for the oxclusivo management of tho investigation against Andi ew Johnson. This is simply a rtiso, whereby it is pro goscd to keep Mr. Bogers, the Democratic ment? or, in i gnoranco of the movements and events in committee. Tho romaining members will be aw? fully posted and allied with the progress of tho in? vestigation, as though thoy belonged to the trio, nominally set up as the grand and exclusive inqui? sitors of this star chamber examination. Up to this time tho Judiciary Committee have bold daily meet? ings, but without tulum,' any testimony in the pro? mises. It has been proposed to call Jno AV For? ney, the publisher of tho Chronicle at somo one of the secret seances of tho committee, ?no DUI pris? ing natural facility for getting up evidence to suit any emergency, as demonstrated a few years since during tho progress of tho famous Forrest divorce case, doubtless actuated tho cornmitteo in agreeing to a summons. It is but fuir ;o say that tho majority of Radicals in either wing of tho Capitol scout the idea of im? peachment with the utmost derision-not from a Lack of malignity towards ibo Administration, but "rom a ready understanding that in the institution >f such a courso of procedure lies the certain renn of party discomfiture and ruin. As for Mr. tohnsori, I do not think ho loses any of his night y repose becauso of tho inception of this force; md, so far as his own course was to apply to such in exigency, that has been determined months .go, when the atmosphere was less rife with Radi? al denunciation tha . now. I have known, almost rom the first, what that determination has been, nd I apprehend that in thc actual visitation of he crisis there can be no harm in divultring tho -rundation upon which it rests. Once summoned ? answer charges of impeachment. Mr. Johnson rill return a messago in writing, .addressed to '.ongr.ss, in which ho will proclaim, first, to tho louse: 'T deny the validity of your indictment, jr it was found by a Grand Jury incomplete and -.sufficient for its preferment." Ai d to the Sou? te: "I rcfuso your panel; it is lacking in tho rcsonce of twontv-tw-i membera, whose absenco oprive3 your body of tho semblance of right to institute' a jury for tho imp?wihment of tho hum lest -crvant of the Government." If this Con? fess cannot, try the President, it cannot impeach im; and from' those that understand the Presi? enta will, in action conforming to previously cx ressed conviction, it is easy to see that ho will ibmit to no forced abdication of the Presidency, ad that if such a policy is meditated and atterupt L it would precipitate a bloody collision in the ?ry streots of the Capital, and mayhap at the oir?ais of the White Eouso. Are tho Rads ready ir this ? I think not. IE NATIONAL BANKS-CHASE AND THE PRESIDENCY. The National Banks get more and more out of amor, and distrustful of Secretary Mcculloch .-cry day, and so are constantly casting about for means of hedging themselves from any Dossihle iture reverses that may transpire to their inter ?ts by a too rigid enforcement of the pains and ena!ties attaching to infringement of the National anking law. Secretary Mcculloch is not dispot ed > look very leniently upon the palpable evasions f the law that are from time to time reported by ie Comptroller of the Treasury. Among other revisions of the law for the regulation of National ;anks, is one requiring each bank to keep con? tently on deposit a sum, in legal tenders, equal to ne-fifth of their authorized circulation. About ?vo-thirds cf the banks, by their own monthly tatements to the Comptroller, axe not complying .ith this provision, and the other third has hit pon tho sharp practice of keeping this deposit in heir vaults hi the shape of compound interest otes, multiplying their principals at tho rate of ix per cent.,* and with two . or three years o run. Originally, there was about ono hun- ga red and forty-five millions of these notes is- Pr ued, first in payment of Government employees ( nd portions of the Federal army, only to bo gath- Pr red up and hoarded eventually by every broker do rho could lay his bands upon them. Sixty mil imo -" 1,^,1.1 Kv th ix KAW Ym-V Kants alone* ,nd what troubles the Secretary of tho Treasury is he prospect of -having a preponderance of this me hundred and forty-five millions presented to lim simultaneously two years hence, compounded Br pith an -interest that has grown monstrously du- T. ing a five years war. There is a Bill now before i he House proposing to make the banks surrender of hese compound interest notes for redemption in dc ommon legal tenders, and this is a cause of ner- 1 ouanesa to the banks. In an extremity like this, ed t is natural that the banks should cast about Mi hem for tho means of averting such disagreeable pa ircumstances in the future; and this seems lately an o have been satisfactorily and almost unanimous- in y determined in bespeak ng the election of Chief cit ustico Chase to the next Presidency. The latter's ? dminiatration of the affairs of the .treasury was J? f tho most favorablo character to the banks, tn nd thus behove that in his olevation to the Presi- ! Lency, no minister of the finances would be tolera- in ed in his Cabinet who did not favor and overlook in| heir shortcomings. Under thia influence the Na- wi ional Banks willbe found to be a most powerful afl ?nd interested combination" in the canvassing for ' ~ ho next Republican nomination to the Presidency; .nd already, so well is this und-astood, that it has of :ome to be a matter of open reference with Chaso o? md his friends, who aver that they can have ton nt aillions of dollars to carry tho nomination with, as Bi he proceeds of voluntary assessments of National ca .tanks all through tho North. ANNIVERSARY BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. Tho banquet given by the Democratic Central Committee in this city, on the 8tb, in honor of tho iimivorsary of the Battle of New Orleans, was a .erv elegant affair. Ba addition to?the Pr&idont's jresenco, there was also a very distinguished at judanco of conservative celebrities. The speeches vero particularly eloquent, Senator Doolittle u peaking as I have never heard him speak before, ind Senator Hendricks outdoing even tho best of he very handsome elf irts we have had from him n Congress this year past. The President, I hap >en to lanow, was earnestly remonstrated with by cveral weak-kneed friends against the propriety if appearing at a Democratic banquet, affirming hat it would only inflame* Congress. Mr. Johnson i Irily remarked that it was unfortunate that Con- ^ -ress was so inflammable, and ordered his car- -, ?age. g ,S IMMEDIATE APPLICATION OF THE NEGRO STJF- W] FRAGE EXPERIMENT. Congress having instituted the law of impartial ag .uffrage, is in great haste to note how it will tic iperate. To this end the House propose passing til ; resolution next week, providing for a general ' fo ilection to offices, whose present incumbents' erma do not expir ? until next spring-the election lie o be held at once. The Radicals aro making (\ ?rangements to call out a large negro vote, and dreadv hove canvassed the by-ways and hedges n search and admonition of their sooty brethren. THE BEA0 MONDE."

KINO, Esq., Editor of the New Orleans Times : In your letter this morning yon publish an arti? llo from the New York Herald containing some ro narks relative to tho speech I am reported to tavo made at Onton. Hiss., to the Congressional ixcursionists lately in this city. Tho Herald ia in rror. I made no spoech at Canton or elsewhero o those excursionists: but conversed with them reoly, and openly told them tho South had fought he North so desperately bocause it was defending ?htit it conceived to be its constitutional rights; hat having appealed however to the arbitration of rms, it yiolded to tho decision which was piven gainst it; that I believed tho pooplo of the South rere now willing to accept the Constitution as ratio by tho war and understood by tho Supremo krort of tho United States. I said also, in my opinion, questions of secession nd slavery were forc er settled, and, so for os I to revive them; that we mst now direct our energies and our vitality to jpairing tho damages of war and restoring to our omcs some of those comforts and that prosperity hich they formerly onioyod. In answer to tho acstions of some of the excursionists, if I lought tho South would accept tho Constitn oii.il Amendment, I replied that, eschewing eilitics, and attending strictly to private busl 2ss and tho duties of my position; I had littl" >portunity, except through newspapers, to as irtain the public sentiment on tho subject; but they dosircd to know my individual opinion, would say that tho South would not, ana lould - not, accept thoso amendments, even if | csonted os a finality, for its interests and anhood forbado it; that wo well knew wo are iw at the mercy of tho North, but that e South would never do anything which its mor could not approve to protect its interest, d I believo would remain passive spectators of o struggles for power go?vr on at the North, ra? ng on tue sober second-thought and sense of 3hce of both parties to protect us. 1 added P 9ugh, at the fall of tho Confederacy, instead of d ing to a foreign country to swear allegiance to its vornment, I preferred remaining in my own and earing allegiance to what I conceived to be its w government. Cf in conversation with tho excursionists I u~,ed J words consolidated government when speaking thc United States Government, I meant, of arse, the common federal National Govern? ing operating tinder the Constitution as inter jted by the Supreme Court of tho United States.

BEAUREGARD. ? ie Row Among the New Torie Council? men. rhe New York papers have the following oc? cult of tho row in the Council Chamber, in that y, on Thursday : _ Che Board of Councilmen held its second meeting tho aftornoon, and shortly after the commence? nt of thc proceedings a soene occurred which raited in the breaking np of the meeting amid 3 wildest confusion. The Democratic members Lng incensed at the alleged defection of Mr. , inkman (who was elected to the Presidency of | 3 Board by the Bepu'blicans), endeavored to do tho proceedings of the previous session. Mr. eeno, tho Clerk, having concluded the reading the minutes of the preceding meeting, Conncil in Stocom (a former candidate for the Presi ncy of the Board) rui/ved to strike out of the I ? n? les so much of the same as related to tho ' ?clon of tho President. Hie President ruled the gent emau ont of order, d declared tho minutes approved by a majority the members of tho board so vating. An ap? ed was then made from tho .decision of the air, and the President ruled the appeal ont of 1er, and in doing sp held that there were no les governing the boord at the present time. Councilman Hartman arose and said that ho 1 vc notice of a protest against tho action of the esident. That gcnUeman waa a perjurer, ic Councilman Long tuen threw an inkstand at the esident, which struck just below the President's Bk, but which besmeared Mr. Brinkman's face d body with ink, besides scattering ink behind ? Coun'cilman stacom ann ornera- xuv^.<~>?.. a perjurer, a villain, a man not to be believed der oath," Atc. Immediately after this. Mr. | B inkman was seen to poss a revolver to Charles McCIonahan, ox-Clerk of tho Board. Councilman Long, amid the cries and confusion tho members of the Board and the lobby, or- | red their arrest by a policeman. Messrs. Brinkman and McClenahan wore arrest , and Mr. Long made a complaint before the ivor, who, ofter hearing the statements of the rties, discharged them on their own recogniz ces, they pledging themselves to keep the peace future. The affair created the most intense el? ement around the City Hall. The Tribune gives tho fallowing aa the origin of | a difficulty The difficulty among the Councilmen originated ! the alleged, defection of Mr. Brinkman, who hav? er, it is sai adjoined a RiBg. Democratic caucus, lien, with himself, comprised thirteen members, berwurd betrayed it to vibe twelve remaining I Btnbsrs o" the Board. By this oct, it is aUeged. r. Brinkman procured his election os President the Board, and utterly shattered tho brittle slate ' the Bing, to the great consternation of that ?ted cabal. On yesterday's assomb?ng of the eiard. ho was several times styled a perjurer, r&&~< . 1 and villain, and on refusing to entertain soveral. otions to this effect, an inkstand was thrown at B head. There was much subsequent hard sweor g and bad grammar among members, when, get- i ig sight of a pistol in the hands of a friend of r. Brinkman, tho dje'eatcd party, led by Mr. Conn man Long, precipitated a general row.s From Louisiana. BOB PROSPECTS-REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMIT? TEE-RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

EAST MODE OT SHARPENING EDGE TOOLS.-The simplest method of sharpening ?""razor or other edgo tool ia to place the Blade for about half nu hour in. water containing one-twentieth of its , weight of sulphuric or muriatic acid. Upon taking tho ra^or out, wipe it -ott lightly on a pie 'e of soft ! rag, and in a few hours afterwards 'sot' it .on ?ri ?trop. The ?tdd. supplies the place of a whetstone, by corroding the entire- surface uniformly, BO thai nothing but a good polish is afterward needed. Thia process never injures good razors, while poor ones are ofter improved by it, "** WEDNESDAY MORNING, GENEBAL PBICE m NEW OBLEANS_Tho New Or? leans correspondent of tho Jackson, Miss., Clarion writes as follows : General Price and daughters hav'o arrived from Mexico, and aro stopping at tho St. Charles.
