WASHINGTON, January 15.-In the Senate, Mr. Wiley presonted a memorial for a Constitutional Amendment abolishing aU- inequality in political rights on account of race and color. It was re? ferred to the Finance Committee. In tho Houso, on motion of Mr. Cobb, tho Com? mittee on Claims was instructed to ascertain and report the facts connected with the capture of Jef? ferson Davis and the connection of the 4th Michi? gan and 1st Wisconsin Cavalry Regiments. there? with. The committee, has power to send for per? sons and papers. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the Nebraska BUT, and a general debate followed; a vote to be taken at 3 o'clock. .Tho.Chair laid before the Senate a communica? tion from the Governor of South Carolina, trans? mitting the certificate of election of James B. Campbell. Laid on the table. Mr. Howard called up thc resolution heretofore introduced by him, instructing tho Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire into the present re? lations between France, Mexico and the United States-as to .the possibility of tho withdrawal of the French troops, and the ability of Maximilian to sustain himself, &c. Mr. Howard sa td our trade and commerce had beon so much i nj m ed by a war carried on during several years, the country wanted to know the exact status. The dignity and interest of this nation require that this Govern? ment, ah ouid take such measures as will secure the immediate restoration of peace and tho reinstate? ment of the Republican Government. The resolu? tion was laid aside for the bill regulating the ten? ure of office, and the latter was discussed up to the time of adjournment. The House took up the Bill for the admission of Nebraska into the Union. The Senate had inserted the condition to admission that the word "white" in the Nebraska Constitution should not discrimi? nate against citizens on account of race or color. Mr. BoutweU moved.to'amendby substituting aa a condition precedent, that the Nebraska Legisla? ture should give suffrage to all, without distinction of race or color. During the debate Mr. Davis, of New York, de? cided that if Congi ees had a right to impose con? ditions upon a new State, it could also enforce these conditions without the consent of the peo Ele. Farnesworth eaid ?bat Congress plainly had lat right. It was simply granting a Territory a charter to hoc: me a State, 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 Boutwell's amendment, 103 against 53. The Bill for the admission of Colorado, with similar amendments, passed by a voto of 90 against 53. Washington Sews, WASHINGTON,.

THE NEEDLE GUN.-In a recent lecture George Alfred Townsend said : "While in Europe I fired a needle gun. It was awkward as the fir.t pair of skates, and HO heavy that 1 thought it an imposi? tion to bo obliged to hold thc whole of it myself. It seemed euoush avoirdupois for an entire pla? toon to carry. There is a knob upon it as big and as hard to turn as your door-knob, when you go home from your "lodgo" at midnight. You must hit this knob with tho palm of your hand, drive it down, draw it back, put in your'carcridge, hit it up again, and pull a trigger. This drives a darning needle through a cartridge, and sends the ball about half tho distance of a Springfield rifle ball. You bruise your hand, swear, and after a dozen rounds have been fired, t he breech of your gun feels like a red hot poker. A regiment of mon at work with tins weapon look as if tlioy were cracking walnuts, or opouing oysters, or 'killing mosquitoes. You can certainly fire it B?X times a minute ofter six years' practice." Our Washington lotter. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.] UTPEAC n MENT. WASHINGTON, January 12.-Tho impeachment has taken definite ehapo since my last letter on that subject to THE NEWS, and tho inquisition may now bo considered duly inaugurated undor auspi? ces duly Radical. Tho first act of the committee was to havo a 6ort ol'informal tall: orcr tho wholo matter, to which ASHLEY, tho mover of tho im? peachment resolution now before them, was in I vitod. Mr. ROGERS, tho solo Democrat on the com? mittee, received no intimation that there was to be j conferonco of thia character, and, therefore, faSed ; to put in an appearance. This initial discussion of tho question of prosecuting tho Executivo elicited a fact that everv old congressional observer had already surmised, viz.: that ASHLEY was without proof or reason to back up tho charges ho had submitted. Thia waa in nowise a surprise to his partisan friends on thc committee, who have known, throughout, of his entire irresponsibility, and want of oven mental capacity in the conduct of legislation. The talk that ensued finally resulted in a determination to make a pretence of * appoint? ing three of the committee-Boutwell, of Maasachu setts, Wilson, of Iowa, and Williams, of Pennsylva? nia-to act as a sub-committeo for the exclusive management of the investigation against _ndtew Johnson. This is simply a ruse, whereby if is pro? posed to keep Mr. Rogers, the Democratic mem? ber, in ignorance of the movements and events in committee. The remaining members will be aw? fully posted and allied with the progress of the in? vestigation, as though thoy belonged to the trio, nominally Bet np as the grand and exclusive inqui? sitors of this 8tar chamber examination. Up to this time the Judiciary Committee have held daily meet? ings, but without taking any testimony in the pre? mises. It has been proposed to call Jno. W. Tor? ney, the publisher of the Chronicle, at some one of the secret seances of the committee. His surpris? ing natural facility for getting up evidence to suit any emergency, aa demonstrated a few years since during thc progress of the famous Forrest divorce case, doubtless actuated thc committee in agreeing to a summons. It is but fair x> say that the majority of Radicals in either wing of the Capitol scout the idea of im? peachment with the utmost derision-not ?'om a lack of malignity towards tho Administration, but from a ready understanding that in the institution of such a course of procedure lies the certain germ of party dtecomnture and ruin. As for Mr. Johnson, I do not think he loses any of his night? ly repose because of tho inception of thia farce; and, so far as hts own coureo was to apply to such an exigency, that has benn determined months ago, when the atmosphere was i cs s rife with Radi? cal denunciation tha i now. I have known, almost from the first, what that determination has been, and I apprehend th af in the actual visitation of the crisis there can. bo no harm in divulging the foundation upon which it reats. Once summoned to answer charges of impeachment, Mr. Johnson will return a message in writing, addressed to Congrraa, in which no will proclaim, first, to the House: "I deny the validity of your indictment, for it waa lound by a Grand* Jury incomplete and insufficient for ita preferment." Ai d to the Sen? ate: "I refuse your panel; it ia lacking in the Sresence of twenty-tw> members, whose absence oprivea your body of the semblance of right to constitute a jury for the impeachment of the hum? blest -ervant o? the Government." If thia Con? gress cannot try the Preaidenf1, it cannot impeach him; and from thoao that understand the Presi? dent's will, in action conforming to proviouely cx preaaod conviction, it is easy to aeo that ho will submit to no forced abdication of the Presidency, and that if such a policy is meditated and attempt? ed, it would precipitate a bloody collision in the very streets of the Capital, and mayhap at the portals of the White House. Are tho Eada ready for this? I think not. THE NATIONAL BANKS-CHASE AND THE PBESIDENCT. The National Banks get more and more out of humor, and distrustful of Secretary McCullocu every day, and so are constantly casting about for a means of hedging themselves from any possiblo future reverses that may trahspira.to their inter? ests by a too rigid enforcement of the pains and penalties.attaching to infringement of tho National Banking law.. Secrete Mcculloch is not dispo- od to look very leniently upon the palpable evasions of the law that are from time to time reported by the Comptroller of the Treasury. Among other provisions of the law for the regulation of National Banks, is one requiring each bank to keep con? stantly on deposit a sum, in legal tendere, equal to one-fifth of their authorized circulation. About two-thirds cf the banks, by their own monthly statements to the Comptroller, are not complying with this provision, and the other third has* hit upon the sharp practice Of keeping this deposit in their vaults in tho shape of compound interest notes, multiplying their principals at tho rate of six per cent., and with two or three years to run. Originally, there was about ono hun? dred and forty-five m nu on a of these nwfcco lo sued, first in payment of Government employees and portions of the Federal army, only to be gath? ered up and hoarded eventually by every broker who could lay his hands upon them. Sixty mil? lions are now held by tha New York banks alone; and what troubles tho Secretary of tho Treasury is the prospect of having a preponderance of this one hundred and forty-five millions presented to him simultaneously two years hence, compounded with an interest that baa grown monstrously du? ring a five years war. There ia a Bill now before tho House proposing to make the banka surrender those compound interest notes for redemption in common legal tendera, and thia is a cause of ner? vousness to the banks. In an extremity Uko this, it is natural that the banks should cast about them for the means of averting such disagreeable circumstances in the future; and this seems lately to have been satisfactorily and almost unanimous? ly determined in bespeak ng the election of Chief Justice Chase to tho next Presidency. The latter's administration of the affairs of tho lroasnry was of tho most favorable character to tho banks, and thus behove that in his elevation to the Presi? dency, no minister of the finances would be tolera ted in his Cabinet who did not favor and overlook their shortcomings. Under this influence tho Na? tional Banks will oe found to be a most powerful and interested combination in the canvassing for the next Republican nomination to the Presidency; and already, so well is this understood, that it has come to bo* a matter of open referouco with Chase and hia friends, who aver that they can havo ten millions of dollars to carry tho nomination with, as the proceeds of voluntary assessments of National Banka all through tho North. ANMVEBSABY BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. The banquet given by the Democratic Central Committee m this city, on tho 8th, in honor of tho anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, waa a very elegant affair. In addition to the President's presence, there was also a very distinguished at? tendance of conservative celebrities. The speeches were particularly eloquent, Senator Doolittle speaking aa I have never heard him speak before, and Senator Hendricks outdoing even tho best of the very handsome off iris we have had from him in Congress this year past. The President, I hap? pen to know, was earnestly remonstrated with by several weak-kneed friends against the propriety of appearing at a Democratic banquet, affirming that it would only inflame Congress. Mr. Johnson drily remarked that it was unfortunate that Con? gress was ao inflammable, and ordered Iiis car? riage. AN IMMEDIATE APPLICATION OF THE NEGRO S?F? FRAGE EXPERIMENT. Congress having instituted the law of impartial suffrage, ia in great haste to noto how it will operate. To this end tho House propose passing a reeolution next week, providing for a general election to offices, whose present incumbents' terms do not expir : until next spring-the election to be held at once. Tho Radicals are making arrangements to call out a large negro vote, and already have canvassed tho by-ways and hedges in Bearch and admonition of their 80oty brethren. THE BEAU MONDE. Receptions among tho high dignitaries ol' the Capital are r ow all the "go." General Grant led ofl m a very brilliant affair on Wedneaday night, and the Cabinet Ministers have respectively dono likewise during tho several nights since. VIDEX. Georgia Items. PERSONAL.-We met yesterday in tho Superior Court room quite a number of Georgiana whom the people delight to honor. Hia Excellency Gov? ernor Jenkina, Hon. A. H. Stephens, Hon. B. H. Hill, Hon. H. V. Johnson, and Hon. H. W. Hilliard. Each and all of these gentlemen seemed in thc enjoyment of excellent health, and wore present on professional business. [Augusta Constitutionalist. SAD CASUALTY.-A friend informs us that on Sunday afternoon, between two and threo o'clock, while a Mr. Reorden an.l wife were walking from the villaagoof Granitovillo, a United 8tates cavalry? man suddenly came upon them, riding at a furious rat2, and before Mrs. R. could get out of the way she was run over and most shockingly mangled by the heels of tho horse. Prompt medical assistance waa at bandin the person of Dr. Naglo, who, after examination, pronounced the lady dangerously in? jured internally, besides having her right arm bro? ken in two places. The conduct of thc cavalryman in thus dashing through a public street was inex? cusable.-Augusta Press. AN EXODUS.-The steamer Dictator, on Saturday afternoon last, took over seven hundred freedmen many of whom had thoir families and household goods with them-all en route for Florida, where tho majority of them will bc distributed as field hands over different plantations in that State, while many will bc employed on the Florida Rail? road. They were gathered ironi various parts of thia State by energetic agents, were all cxcellcut specimens of physical health, and went away in the best of spirits. This is tho Bocond instalment that the Dictator has carried to Florida within a week-tho first conaiating of at least eight hundred field hands. Has Georgia too many to work tho plantations? [Havannah Republican. The Thomaavillo Enterprise complains of the conduct of thc Federal aoldiers attached to tho Freedmen's Bureau in that place. It seem they are given to going ou sprees and kicking up the mischief generally. CHRISTMAS AT CHICAGO.-Christmas gifts were in demand in Chicago, according to the Tribune's summary : Jewelry, by thirty doalors.5250.000 Furs, by ten dealers. 50,000 Musical instruments, by eight dealers. , 'Pm Books, by thirty-six dealers. 150,coo Notions, by forty dealers. 05,000 Tot,;.$475,000 General Beauregard on Public Affairs. Tho subjoined letter from General BEAUREGARD to the editor of the New Orleans Times will be read with more than common interest-since it not only espressos the sentiments of one of the load? ing chiefs of tho South in the late war, but cor? rects somo statements that have been made in re? gard to a speech imputed to him in which opin? ions woro expressed that excited the surprise of those who supposed he was correctly reported. He did not make the speech ascribed to hin?. The sentiments expressod by General BEAURE? GARD in this letter aro just such as we would ex? pect from a braye and noble-minded soldier, who fought while there was a ray of hone, and only surrendered when all was lost save honor. Sucb a man cannot, under any circumstances, when overpowered in a war of weapons, condescend to car y on a war of words : NEW ORLEANS, January 10,1867. WM. H. 0. KING, Esq., Editor of the New Orleans Times : In your letter this morning you publish an arti clo from the New York Herald containing some re? marks relative to the speech I am reported to have made at Canton, Miss., to the Congressional excursionists lately in this city. The Herald is in error. I made no speech at Canton or elsewhere1 ' to those excursionists; but conversed with them freely, and openly told them the South had fought the North so desperately because it was defending what it conceived to be its constitutional rights; that hiiving appealed however to the arbitration of arms, it yielded to the decision which was given against it; that I behoved the people of the South wero now. willing to accept the Constitution as made by the war and understood by the Supreme Court of tho United States. I said also, in my opinion, questions of secession and slavery wore fore "cr settled, and, so for os I was concerned, under no circumstances would I countenance any effort to revive them; that we must now direct our energies and our vitality to repairing the damages of war and restoring to our homes Borne of those comforts and that prosperity which they formerly enjoyed. In answer to the questions of some of the excursionists, if I thought the South would accept tho Constitu? tional . Amendment, I replied that, eschewing politics, and attending strictly to private busi? ness and the duties or my position, I had littl? opportunity, except through newspapers, to as? certain the public sentiment on the subject; but if they desired to know my individual opinion, I would''say that the South would not, ana should not,, accept thoso amendments, even if presonted os a finality, for its interests and manhood forbade it; that we well knew we are now at the mercy of tho North, but that tho South would never do anything which its tionor could not approve to protect its interest, md I beliovo would remain passive spectators of ?he.struggles for power going on at the North, re? ving on the Rober second-thought and sense of justice of both parties to protect us. I added ;hough, at the fah' of the Confederacy^ instead of joing to a foreign country to swear allegiance to its jovernment, I preferred remaining in my own and swearing allegiance to what I conceived to be its lew government. If in conversation wi?>" tho excursionists I mod ?he words consolidated-" ovcrnment when speaking if the United States "'Government, I meant, of jourse, the common Federal National Govern- ; lient, operating under the Constitution as inter? preted hy the Supreme Court of the United States. I remain yours, very respectfully, (Signed) P. G. T. BEAUREGARD. The Row Among the New Torie Council? men. Ti iu New York papers have the following ac? ion ut of the row in tho Council Chamber, in that :ity, on Thursday : . The Board of Councilmen held its second meeting n tho aftornoon, and shortly after tho commence nentofthe proceedings a" scene occurred which esulted in the breaking up of the meeting amid he wildest confusion. The Democratic members >eing incensed at the alleged defection of Mr. Jriniman (who was elected to the Presidency of ho Board by the Republicans), endeavored to . indo the proceedings of tho previous session. Mr. ireene, tho Clerk, having concluded the reading ? f thc minutes of the preceding meeting. Council nan Stacom (a former candidate for tho Presi- i len cy of the Board) moved to strike out of the ; ninntcs so much of tho. same as related to the ilec'ion of the President. The President ruled the gont'eman out of order, ,nd declared tho minutes approved by a majority f tho members of the board so voting. An ap? ical was thon made from the decision of the hair, and tho President rulod tho appeal out of irdor, aud in doing so held that there were no ules governing the board at the present time. Councilman Hartman arose and said that he , ,-ave notice uf o. protest against tbu ?w?nttof the 1 >rnBident. That geuw-arm -?-?o ? paxjurer, ?U.~ Councilman Long then throw an inkstand at the *residout, which struck just below the President's losk, but which besmeared Mr. Bruikman's face nd body with ink, besides scattering ink behind iis chair. Councilman Stacom and others-"The President s a perjurer, a villain, a man not to be believed ruder oath," &c. Immediately after this, Mr. irinlrman was Been to pass a rovolver to Charles P. ?(TcClenahan, cx-Clerk of the Board. Councilman Long, amid the cries and confusion )f tho members of the Board and the lobby, or lerod their arrest by a policeman. Messrs. Brink man ana McClenahan were arrea t jd, and Mr. Long made a complaint before the Mayor, who, after hearing tho statements of the sorties, discharged them on their own recogniz incos, they pledging themselves to koop the peuce in future. ..Tho affair created tho mose intense cx sitement around tho City Hall.. Tho Tribune gives the following as the origin of the difficulty : Tho difficulty among the Councilmen originated in tho alleged defection of Mr. Brinkman, wno hav? ing, it is said, joined a Ring Democratic caucus, which, with himself, comprised thirteen members, afterward betrayed it to the twelve remaining members of tho Board. By this act, it is alleged, Mr. Brinkman procured his election as President of the Board, and utterly shattered the brittle slate of the Ring, to the groat consternation of that noted cabal. On yesterday's assembling of tho Board, ho was several times styled a perjuror, ras? cal and villain, and on refusing to entertain several motions to this effect, an inkstand was thrown at his head. There was much subsequent hard swear? ing and bad grammar among members, when, get? ting sight of a pistol iu the hands of a friend of Mr. Brinkman, tho doleatcd party, led by Mr. Coun? cilman Long, precipitated a genoral row. From Louisiana. LABOR PROSPECTS-REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMIT? TEE-RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. NEW ORLEANS, January ll.-Advices respecting tho attitude of tho freedmen and planters, as to tho future course of work, are favorable. The former aro now generally contracting, where good crops were mado last year, for abaros, and whero bad crops were made, for wages. In cases whero ElantorB desire to change tornm they must bid igh. Amicable feelings seem to prevail every whoro, especially where no troops are stationed. Tho New Orleans Tribuno declares tho charges against President Johnson contain no spociflca tious of overt acts, and amount only to imputa? tions of moral treason to his party, and can there? fore form no basis for impeachment. Tho Central Executive Committee of the Repub? lican party reorganized last night. Mr. Cran? (white) was elected Prosidcnt, Judge Plnplantier (white) vice-President, and Messrs. Mantior, Mill? ford and Dunn (colored) Secretaries and T.-eas urer. Tho Committee adopted tho following resolu? tions: Whereas, the time is at hand when the Republi? can party of Louisiana should express a choice for Provisional Governor in case that Congress so orders a Provisional Government in Louisiana, and assuming tho fact that tho Committee will, at an carly day so cxpross their choice that will give satisfaction to the loyal Union people ol Louisiana without distinction to raco or color, be it Resolved, That the Central Executivo Committee of tho Republican party of Louisiana positively refuse to entertain the name of any gentleman who is not directly identified with the Republican party of Louisiana, and whose identity be satisfac? torily known; and in no case shah tho hame of any person bo entertained who aided, while hold? ing either Federal or local position, civil or ap? pointed to oifice, rebels or rebel sympathisers, to the exclusion of loyal Union men. Be it Resolved, That a Committee of Throe be appoint? ed by the Chairman to propound to Gen. Lernen, who will be auimdidate for the position, the ques? tions: 1. Did you ever, while holding office, fede? ral or local, appoint disloyal oi ex-rcbel to a posi? tion, to tho exclusion of any Union min? 2. Will you, should tho power be placed in your hands, pledge yourself to give colored mon their share of appointment? 3. Are you in favor of udiversal suffrage for loyal mon ? 4. Aro you in favor of dis? franchising and excluding from'office leading trai? tors ? Be it Resolved, That this Committco demand tho an? swer of yes or no to tho foregoing questions, and no other answer. Toon OLD THAD I-The result of thc Republican caucus at Harrisburg on Thursday, in nominating Simon Cameron for United States Senator for Pennsylvania, shows conclusively that tho Jacobin doctrines of Thad. Stevons cannot bo swallowed by tho people ot that State. He roceived only seven votes out of tho eighty-ono cast. Forney's influ? ence iu Pennsylvania may also bo calculated by this number of Republican votes. It is thus evi? dent that neither pour Old Thad nor the Chevalier Forney can lead a corporal'8 guard in their own Stato. Thc stomach ot the Republican party there is too weak to digest tho pernicious Jacobin stuff which Old Thad prescribes for them.-Neu* York Herald. EASV MODE OP SHARPENING EDGE TOOLS.-The simplest method of sharpening a razor or othor edge tool is to place tho Diode for about half an hour in water containing one-twentieth of its .weight of sulphuric or muriatic acid. Upon taking tho razor out, wipe it off lightly on a pie o of BOH rag, and in a few hours afterwards 'set' it on a Btrop. The acid supplies thc place of a whetstone, by corroding the ontire surface uniformly, so that nothing but a good polish is afterward neoded. This process never ii.juroB good razors, while pooi onus are often improved by it. GENERAL PRICE IN NEW ORLEANS.-The New Or? leans correspondent of the Jackson, Miss., Clarion writes as follows : ' General Price and daughters have arrived from Mexico, and aro stopping at the St. Charles. The General is much reduced in flesh, BO much so that he does not present a physical difference from his fellow men as wido as during the days of the "Confederacy." Misfortune has not soured his disposition, however, and he still wears that pleas? ant and agrocable countenance which can only be j inspired by a benevolent and generous heart. j May bis days yet be long and prosperous!
