There were thirty-eight rejections by the Senate. Four Executive communications were received and laid upon the table. Mr. SUMNER presented petitions from citizens of South Carolina and Arkansas, asking for the es? tablishment of loyal governments, which were re? ferred to the Committee on Beconstrucfcion. ; The Tenure of Office Bill then cama up for dis? cussion, and the Senate disagreed to an amend? ment which includes cabinet officers, and adjourn? ed after executive session. The House was engaged on business of a local character. A communication from the Secretary bf State states that he has been authentically no tified of the adoption of the Constitutional Amend? ment by five States. ; The Bill' mstructing the Clerk of the House to 'include on the roll only States now. represented, was passed.

SMASH UP.-There was a smash upon the Pensa? cola and Georgia Railroad on Tuesday, as the train was" going East, by. which ?even box cars were broken np, several of them being literally knocked into pi.

The conduct of the troops of the 7th infantry regiment has improved so much of late that it is a subject of remark by :our citizens, and there are no'complaints against them now. We learn that this desirable state of affairs has been brought about by the vigilance, and promptness of Colonel Flinty wno. -has not failed-to p^mish all offenders whose gnat has been tatisfactonly. established.

ALBANY AND QUTNOT STAGE LINE.-We can as? sure the travelling public that the energetic and obliging proprietors of this line, Messrs.

NEW ENTEEPEHE.-We hear it reported that par? ties have been recently surveying oetween Boggy Swamp, on the Florida Railroad, and Tebeauvule, on the Atlantic and Gulf road, Ga., with the view of testing the practicability of building a branch road, between the roads named above. We give it as we received it, without vouching for its cor? rectness. . Of this, however, we are certain: a charter has been granted by the Legislature for a canal be? tween Fernandina and Indian Biver cia St. Augus? tine. Also, there has recently been organized a Land and Fmigration Company, with nead centre at Tennessee. & We are glad of every such indication of an awak? ening to the importance of activity for the re-estab? lishment of our interests, and are as often remind? ed of our own supineness. That while om- sister cities are thus active, we are, in a manner, passive; ind so far from increasing, are likely to have more or less of the present business drawn off m other directions, and which, we venture to assert, might be readily and easily avoided by the establishment of a through line of Btoamers to New York. A word to the wise is sufficient.-Florida Times. The Washington Chronicle denies that BUTLER has instituted a libel suit against Brick POMEBOY, and furthermore asserts that the lettor ascribed to BUTDEE offering to "let up," if the Brick would re? tract, is a forgery. Of course tho "D. D." of tho Chronicle is indignant that the Beast should have been BO "foully slandered." Happy couple-none name them but to praise. FROM WASHINGTON. [SPECIAL COBHESPONDENCE BAXTIMOEE GAZETTE.] WASHINGTON, February 3.-A few days ago I re? ferred to tho fact that many tnJ.y representative men of tho South were ou a visit to tho Metropo? lis, for the purpose of canvassing the possibility of maturing some plan by which the present section? al difficulties might bo adjusted in a manner prom? ising the return of harmony and fraternal relations to the whole country. I now learn that this mat? ter has since assumed definite shape, so far that I am authorized io say that a proposition will be 'shortly made, in form, by tho Legislature of North Carolina and submitted to Congress, offering as a finality the adoption of tho Constitutional Amend? ment, with the substitution for the second and j third sections provisions guaranteeing impartial i snf?rage and representation according to the voting population. I need not add that the proposition, in my judgment, will be rejected by the Radicals, tho purpose of the leaders of that party being to pro? tract indefinitely any settlement. The s?gns of the times unmistakably point to far more stringent measures than any yet proposed, and tho moans to bo employed aro bolder and infinitely moro reckless than the public seem willing to behove. ; Many members of Congress who have had, up to within the past week, nopps of a final adjustment upon some satisfactory basis, now undis? guisedly express themselves without hope, and admit that their calculations, basod upon the ultimate resistance of that class of Republicana whose votes have on some occasions been cast against ultra measures, have turned out to be ut? terly fallacious. No better proof of this could be famished than the votes in the House upon an amendment to the "tenu: e of office" Bill yesterday. It prohibits the President from removing a Cabi? net officer without the consent of the Senate. It was at first substantially defeated, but the party lash was applied, and upon a reconsideration it was adopted, and tho Bill, with it incorporated as a provision, passed by a strict party vote. It will go to tho Senate, be feebly opposed by "the more moderate Republicans." who will finally yield, and by the time it comes back'witk the President's ob? jections, tho party will have become a unit, and the Bill become a law by the vote of two-thirds of both Houses. Under existing circumstances this bill is of vital consequence. No man doubts that the purpose of making the Cabinet independent is to tie the hands of the President in view of his ejection from the posi? tion he occupies. In truth, the whole legislation of thia Congreas has been but a piece of not-work 'With which to environ tho Executive preparatory '. to the utter demolition of his authority, and pl ac- 1 ing in hiB stead a "Lord Protector" already select- ' ed. The restraints of the Constitution aro utterly, .. contemned even by such pretended Conservatives ' 1 as Raymond, and that instrument held to have '< been, in fact, abolished by the results of tho war. j He who imagines, therefore, that the fundamental ? law presents the slightest barrier to the destruc? tive course marked out by the revolutionists,' in? dulges in a delusion which ?B directly at variance with every act and every word of. the dominant ; party. It is a fact which cannot be too soon fully under? stood by the people and duly pondered upon, that 1 Andrew Johnson is at this moment upon nis trial; 1 that tho ^witnesses, Buch as Detective Baker, aro ! upon the stand; raat bis case lus been prejudged, and that he Ja liable at any moment to be dragged to tiie bar of the House and deposed. Tearing a 1 sentence attributed io Madison from its context, 1 I and mutilating it, the Chronicle,' m a double- < I leaded article pat .forth as a manifesto of the Badi- 1 cal leaders, distinctly declares that "if thoPresi- j dent bo connected in any. suspicious manner with any person, and if there be any grounds to believe : ho will shelter him, the House of Representa ti vea can impeach him; they can remove him if found 1 <r*?ity; they can suspend him when suspected, and j the. power will devolve on tho Vice President. Should he be suspected also, he may likewise bo ? suspended until he bc impeached and romov?d, ana the Legislature may make a temporary ap? pointment.'' j Who doubts the ability of the HOUBO of Bepre- j Btntatives to "suspect" the President of any of- j fence, when every crime in the decalogue has been j in advance ohargedupon him by a number quite sufficient to impeach ? "If (says the edict of the Radicals already quoted) "we discard all this false . logic (meaning that derived from the Conetitu- . tion), and these puerile threats, wo shall noon dis- \ cover that the mode and manner of impeaching a . President of tho United States is astonishingly , simple ; ' Such are the facts. What is to be done ? . What can be done ? Is it too late for tho Amen- ; can people to i s BUG their decree, and in the lan- , ; guage of that of the Romans upon the conspiracy . of Catalina, demand that "the Consul Bhoula take , ' care that the Republic received no detriment." I understand that General. Grant has indefin? itely postponed his visit to Europe. He was to have left in April. This is a very significant fact. v : :. '< It is understood that tho local courts here will . ignore the decision of the Supremo Court bf the , "United States in the matter of the test oath. The , counsel for the party applying to be admitted to practice without taking the unconstitutional oath ? gave notice that he had applied for a mandate. So we go. . The vetoed Bills admitting Nebraska and Colora? do as States, will, I understand, be disposed of in j the Senate to-morrow. The Committee on Ways and Means hav ? decided to report in favor of abolishing the tax on newspa? per advertisements. Mr. Hooper made a strong | argument in favor of the report. 1 FROM KU ROPE. . LATEST NEWS BY MAIL. By tho mails of the Africa, which arrived at New York on Satnrday evening, we have the fol? lowing details of news : M. Thiel s is going to give a parham entity dinner, and it is understood that the French opposition deputies, wno in former sessions were wont to moot at M. Marie's to discuss their plans of action, will this year assemble at M. Thiers' house, .in the Place St. George. The change is important as showing a coalition between the old Orleanists and the Democrats. It is said by the Liberte that the opposition feels itself so strong thia year, in conse? quence of tho failure of tho Mexican expedition and the "Prussification" of Germany, that it in? tends to astonish the majority and the government by its moderation. - .. La France, of Paris, says : "A very significant observation with respect to the position of Prussia is attributed in political circles in Berlin to King Winiam:-'Ju order to consolidate the Northern Confederation, Prussia requires a year's tranquility. It is for this reason I appreciate in the highest degree the pacific in? clinations expressed in the words uttered by the Emperor on New Year's Day.' . The approaching annexation to France (says the Havre J oura al ) is announced of three new provinces in Cochin China, with the tacit consent of the Em? peror, Tu-Due, who would be delighted to get rid of them, as they are in a state of chronic rebellion. Tho Liverpool Courier, of January 19, Bays: "Frost and want, inevitable allies, continue to cause great suffering among tho poor of Li vern, ol, and, in fact, of the whole country. Twonty thou? sand persons receiving parish relief in what is called the 'first commercial city in the world,' is frightful to contemplate; and yesterday it was fear? ed that the almost universal penury existing in I tho lower parts of the town would cuhniimto in tho sacking of some of the bread and provision Btores. Crowds of people, in which the rowdy element largely prevailed, hung about tho streets, aud in many cases demanded relief from shop? keepers, and the timidity of the latter in somo cases induced them to comply with the not over courteously preferred requests of the mob. Ru? mors were current about town that several bread shops had been broken into and their contents . distributed, bnt the only foundation for these re? ports was that stated above." The Gazette de France asserts that great desti? tution prevails throughout Daly. It says: "Wo lately recorded that at venice, out of ono hundred and ten thousand inhabitants, thirty thousand aro receiving assistance from public charity. We have related the commencement of a crisis at Verona. In the island of Sardinia the peasants are reduced to eat herbs and roots like wild beasts. The Sar? dinian journals teem with harrowing narratives, of tie distress that prevails, and were we so minded we could a tale unfold that would make our read? ers shudder. 'Hunger in Italy,' 'hunger the order of the day.' Such are the titles of several articlos of the journals of Turin and Florence. The Nuovo Diritto adjures the Deputies and Ministers to save tho country, not by idle discussions on great Eu? ropean questions, but by dealings with tho moro pressing questions of bread, moat and fuol. In one cutting phrase tho Unita Cattoliea character? izes this situation: 'Italy is hungry from tho Alps to the Adriatic.'" Letters from Vienna stato that Messrs. Roths? child poid in December the last instalment of 5,000,000 florins, for which the Austrian governmont had deposited with them tho corresponding amount of bonds of the 1859 English-Austrian loan. The French, Belgian, Italian and Swiss govern? ments will imite the Austrian Executive to join their currency convention, concluded .;n the 23d of December, 1865, or, if the latter declines, to sug? gest the best means for attaining an international unity of currency. Many new railways are pro ?'ected, among which tho Crown Prince Rudolph's i ;B commenced to be constructed. According to tho last return of the Finance Minister, two hun? dred and sixteen raillions Stato notes wore in cir? culation on tho Slat of December, since which from ten to fifteen minions have been added to it, and sixty millions rosorved for payan? back the advance made by the National Bank lo tho govern? ment. Mr. Hugh Palmor, the victim of his good na? tured interference io save the life of the Emperor of Austria at Prague, is still in Vienna. He has been under examination lately, upon which occa? sion a number of irrelevant and even offensive questions were put to him; among- others, one which revealed the agreeable fact that his private letters (one addressed to his father) hail been opened, read and mistranslated by .Imperial and royal officials. The London New3 of January 17 baa the follow? ing editorial remarks: ''Imperial Franco must indeed bo eick when the Count do Chambord presents himself as the physi? cian. That estimable but, as we had supposed, unnecessary personage h as been tempted by somo mauvais plaisant of tho Legitimist, or perhaps the Catholic, party to emergo from ?he dignified obscurity of Prohsdorf, and to break tho august silence of a forgotten exile. * * * * For the consolation of liberal Europe we have the assuranc J of thia royal champion of civil and reli? gious liberty the4, the cause of the temporal sov eroignty of the Pope is not isolated-it is that of all religion, all society and li?orty. At any cost, therefore, wo euonld prevent his fall. Such are tho ideas of the Count ue.Chambord, and the Em Eeror of the French ought to bo very much obliged ) him for publishing thom." Tho Naples correspondent of the Paris Debata writes undor date of January 7 : An event of great importance has occurred here as well as throughout Italy; all the monks have left their monasteries. If lhere be any exemp? tions it is only in a few petty communes where the municipal authorities have succeeded in obtaining the convent property in order to keep the monks with them; for they are not unpopular in our prov? inces. Their legal suppression, however, has not caused them to disappear; far from it. Being de Erived of theil* cloisters, they are to be seen more, requently in the streets, and at all hours of the day. People hero aro struck with the resignation, one might almost say the indifference, with which they have accepted their fate. The Persian Government has dismissed all the French officors in the Persian service in conse? quence of a dispute between Foruk-Khan, the rep? resentative of French influence, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Egyptians find a difficulty in adopting the new ideas ot which their Viceroy has made himself the representative. At a recent Bitting of tho r Parliament HiUal-bey, one of the deputies, having spoken of tho "Viceroy as "my adored master," the President observed that a more parliamentary expression would be "my august sovereign."
