C.,4narch 23-P. M.-The Presi? dent returned the supplementary bill with his ob? jections. Th j bill provides /or elections in ten States for the puroose of making constitutions; but all elec? tions,'while th ? originel bill remains in force, come within its restrictions. s-. Preliminary to the election comes registration. Tho unregistered cannot vote. Preliminary to registration a vague oath that the applicant is not disfranchised by participation in t'.o rebellion is required. The applicant for registration can de? cide for himself. This isa fearful responsibility, for though the bill does not assign perjury, nor fix a penalty for mistaken swearing, we must not'for get that martial law prevails, and that the anim? ant is responsible to' the military commissions without previous presentment by grand junee The military commander determines what is an offence, and prescribes punishment. The fourth section provides that the military commander shall appoint necessary boards of reft istration, each consisting, of three loyal persons, who may be military officers, citizens of tho State, or strangers, exercising important functions, and vested with unlimited discretion. They decide', questions, make; returns of; whatever errors or frauds they commit and pass' them unquestioned. By such measures conventions of delegates are to be constituted. These delegates are to speak for the people. Common jastice requires that they should have authority from the people. No con ventiou so constituted w?l, in any sense, represent the wishes of the people, for under all, embracing the exceptions and-uncertainty which the disfran? chisement clause loaves open, the great body of the people may be excluded from the polls. He . does not deem it necessary to investigate further the details, of the BUL No consideration could in? duce him to approve such an election law for any purpose, especially for the purpose of forming a Constitution for a State. . - The President argues the question at some length, illustrating that the formation of; republican gov? ernments, according to Congressional ideas, may ' as well commence in Ohio or Pennsylvania as North Carolina, and concludes by saying, I confidently behove the tune will come 'when these States will again occupy their true positions in the Union. Barriers which now seem so obstinate, must yield to force and enlightened just public opinion; sooner or later unconstitutional and oppressive legislation will be effaced from the statute books. When this shall have been* consummated, I pray God that the errors of the past may be forgotten, and that once more wo shall be a happy, united and prosperous people, and that at last, after the bitter eventful experience through which the nation has passed, we shall all como to know our only safety is in the preservation pf the Federal Constitution, and in according to every American citizen and every State the rights which that Constitution secares.

[FBOM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, March, 20, 18G7_Between twenty five hundred and three thousand of tho lords and ladies of Fifth Avenuedledom attended tho great auction sale of magnificent furniture at tho Maison Doree yesterday. The class of people who riso at 12 o'clock, take breakfast at 1, lunch at 5, dinner between 8 and 9, and go to bed in the morning, turned out in gallant array, and took the nevor-to be-reconstructed aristocratic restaurant by storm A large number of the articles brought fabulous prices, and tho fashionable people were sold as well as the fashionable furniture. Chairs wero knocked down readily at from two hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars each, and the knock? ing down neither broke th a chairs nor the pur chaeers. People who had money to tbrow away throw it away most consistently and conscientious? ly, and the auotioneor waa in his glory. Aa Moultrie-who had most unfashionably wedged his way into the dense crowd and stood as a breaker around which dashed the waves of the sea of fashion-looked on with a philosophic eye and contemplated the downfall of this famous restau? rant, the thought occurred that all is not gold that glitters, and that fortunes can be lost as well as gained in the great metropolis. Speaking of fortune's being lost, reminds Pie of the circumstance that LEONARD JEROME has failed in his endeavor to keep his head above water, and that the wealthy banker has sunk at last-but who shall say to rise no moro ? There are business men here who pay from fifty to one hundred thou? sand dollars per annum for the rent of their estab? lishments. One dry goods firm on Broadway pays one thousand dollars rent on every Saturday night, but it does not necessarily follow that they all make money. It is rumored that a company with a capital of a million and a half has been formed for the purpose of constructing an immense Turkish bath estab? lishment here, and that the attendants will bo real live Turks imported for the purpose. In addition to this there will be a large restaurant, mammoth billiard rooms, and elegant and commodious chess rooms, with a Turkish air pervading the whole, and the best Turkish tobac:o to smoke in the best Turkish pipes. GEORGE PEABODY, the great and good man who bas given away such immense amounts of money in public charities, and who baa received four thou? sand begging letters from individuals who desire hVrn to go into the private charity business, is now at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in consultation with tho trustees of the Southern Education Fund ($1,500, 000) as to tho best mode of distributing the sam J. Among the trustees are General GRANT, ex-Gov ernor CLIFFORD, of Massachusetts, ex-Governor AIKEN, of South Carolina, and other distinguished gentlemen, who aro all guests of the groat banker. Accounts from the other side of the water show that the Fenians were quiet on St. Patrick's day, and that there was no fighting. They wore, how? ever, vory noisy (and drunk) here, and there was fighting. The engagement took place at the corner of Pitt and Grand street, whore a truck driver was attacked by the Fenians who were there pass? ing in procession ; the truck driver was roinforcod by several policemen, and a very pretty fight was soon well in progress. The Fenians fought with poles and swords and anything that came to hand, whilst with the policemen clubs were trumps. All fought gallantly, but the Fenians wore victorious they won several odd tricks, and tho honors were equally divided. In consequence of the fact that many of tho agents and owners cf vessels which ply between here and tho Southern ports insist onpaymont of the freight bills before the cotton or merchan? dise is delivered, which arrangement, it is claimed, "subieots consignees io great vexation and incon? venience (and, in case of irresponsible parties, to loss,) in collecting reclamations for da m a gos or short delivery," a number of merchants have pledged themselves to refuse said payments, and to combine together todefiendj, -.*'*. * ?^-MM^U*? purse, (pro rata,) ?ny^wsu?ts which may arise therefrom. This pay-before-you-go-in system of ioing business, or rather this pay-before-it-comos Dut arrangement, is certainly un reamonn', lo, not to say (or on second thought to say) unfair. Madame PARETA, who, as ar concert singer, ac? quired so well merited a reputation, has made her second debut (BO to speak incorrectly) in married life by becoming the muoh larger, if not the better, half di CARL RUSA, the violinist, and her first debut [to 6peak incorrectly again) in cperatic perform mcos. A few nights ago she astonished one-half if New York by the excellonco of her singing and leting in "Trovatorc," and last night astonished he other . half by doing "Norma" in a style that nay cause little PATTI to look to nor laurel?. ? AREPA RUSA is the bon, or rather the lioness, )f the hour, and some enthusiastic lovers of muBic -and music, lovers are often particularly and idiculoualy enthusiastic-oven go so far as to sompare her favorably to JENNY LIND, ?ie Sweed sh nightingale. .PARETAia a groat artiste, but the is neither a JENNY LIND nor an ADELINA PATTI. PEABODY and General and Mrs. GRANT heard PA 1EPA last night, but neither of them have in? formed MOULTRIE what they think of the new operatic star. ^ A sale of valuable oil paintings took place last night at the corner of Broadway and Twelfth street, and the pictures sold at prices ranging from [ive hundred dollars to six thousand-the maxi? mum price was given for "The Old Kentucky Home," and this painting, together with "Hie Source of the Susquehanna^," which brought fif? teen hundred, will be sent on to the Paris Ex? position. The receipts last night amounted to up? wards of fifty thousand dollars, and there are a large number of valuable pictures still loft lor sr .le at a future day. Weather olear, snow melting, business looking up, and gold looking down. MOULTRIE. State Items. WINTER AND BOUGH WEATHER RETURNED.-After a month of temperate weather, which brought out the peach blohms, last Friday there was a change, and snow fell that night and Saturday. Monday morning there was a frost, a killing frost: po-icbes ruined. We have continued rains and cold north? easters up to this day.-Greenville Enterprise. ABBESTED.-We learn that a dispatch was re? ceived in this city yesterday, announcing the arrest, in New York, of Toland R. Bass, who is charged with killing Mrs. M. E. Hamberg.-Phoenix. Sleet and snow fell at this place on Friday night last to the depth of about one inch. The fruit orop is supposed to be greatly damaged, if not en? tirely cut ofl-Lancaster Ledger. THE DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE CITIZEN.-In the discharge of our duty as chroniclers of District events, we have sad as well as pleasing duties to perform. On this occasion wo announce tho de? cease of Mr. William Zimmerman, well known to us all for bis genial manners, and est aemod for his piety, probity and worth. For years he has occu? pied i position of responsibility and trust in tho Baptist Church, and has always had many friends. He died quite suddenly of an apoplectic stroke on last Tuesday night.-Qrar.geburq News. SHREWD RASCALITY.-A man calling himself William Rudd, of Tennessee, engaged as a farm hand with Mr. S. E. Rickenbacker about a month ago. On Wednesday last, he brought to Mr. E. a letter containing some money, and purporting to be an offer of a lucrative situation near Ninety Six, which letter Rudd said a neighbor had taken from tho Post?nico and Beut to him that aav. Mr. R. released him from his engagement, and he left his place that afternoon, telling all good bye, and expressing many regrets, &c. Afterwards somo circumstances exciting Mr. Rickonbaker's sus? picions, he mp do mquiries of the neighbor alluded to, found that the letter was a forgery of Rudd himself, and that Rudd the evening boforo had been in the ?toro on the place with only a litt e boy {)resent, which accounted for the money in the let? er.- Ibid. ARREBTED.-Captain D. R. Gaige, Assistant As? sessor U. S. Internal Revenue, whose oflicial con? trol extended over tho upper regiment of this Dis? trict, has been arrested and imprisoned on a charge comprehending official misconduct. [Greenville Mountaineer. PICKENS COURT.-From a friend who attended Pickens Court curing tho carly part of tho week, we leam that there was but one "true bill'' fo'.:nd by thc Grand Jury. Plumps, who was tried for committing a rape, was acquitted. No otiior case of importance had transpired up to the time our informant left.-Ibid. RAIN, FROST, SLEET AND HAIL.-Tho past week has been an alternation between rain, frost, sleet and hail, with a lew streaks of weak sunshine. On Monday morning a heavy frost nipt, it is thought, in the bloom, ali our hopes for fruit. The rain has continued to fall at intervals, preventing all farm work. This lateness of the spring is much to be regretted, when wo look at the scarcity of bread stuffs in tho country.-Lancaster Ledger.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IS FRANC There is a storm brewing on the banks of Seine. The opposition to the Emperor's gove ment, never entirely dead, has quickened and ceived considerable reinforcements by the ill 8 cess of several of tho Emperor's military schem Tho Pope has still a largo party of zealous adh onts in Franco who cannot forgive NAPOLEON having been the indirect cause of all tho prosi troubles and prospective humiliation of his H( ness. Tho Mexican expedition, that had cost 1 nation so much of blood and treasure, has come naught, under circumstances very humiliating France; and finally, that terrible thorn in t French side, tho aggrandizement of Prussia, p< mitted, it is alleged, by tho weak policy of NAI LEON, all tbe80 have rendered his Majesty's Gc crnment unpopular. Somothing must bo doi and the Emperor throws a tub to the whale in t shape of additional privileges, " tho crowning the edifico of liberty." These, however, have n had the effect anticipated. So far from concibe ing tho malcontents of the opposition, these co cessions have only emboldened them. They s clearly with what object the edifice was crowne They are not satisfied. The debate on the ? dress, prohibited by this samo decree, and the rig! of interpellation, substituted therefor, has cause great discussii in tho popular branch of the N tiona! Legislature; and has since been the cause > grief to M.'DE GIBUIDIK, editor of La Liberte., wh as wo mentioned some days since, is the first u stance of tho press in pillory under the amende law. Our foreign mails have brought us the origin) article that has led to this prosecution. Remarl able is the fact that although M. EMILE DE G IBU DIN signed his name to the article, as is require by law iu Franco in all writings of a political chai acter, the printer of the journal ?B neverthelee prosecuted as well as the writer, who in this ir stance happens to be tho editor. The article i lieaded "Les Destin?es Meilleures,'" a phrase quote from M. ROUHEB'S speech, in the session of th 2Cth of February, in tho Corps L?gislatif, ?n reads in substance as follows : "Of the entire Bpeeoh of M. tha Minister of Stat (M. Ronner), doliveredon the 26th of Februar] after the interpellation o? M. Julos Favro, and bt fore the declaration of M. Emilio Olivier, ther trill remain in the memory of its readers only thos three Unes-eloquent, it may be, but certainly im prudent : "Wo, (i. e., the Emperor's government, have gradually brought the country, from year t year, to a greater degree of prosperity.". ("A de destin?es meilleures^' cannot be easily translate into literal Englieh. It means .a higher degree c prosperity for the present, and still greater gler, in prospect.) This was very imprudent, for thOB three lines force us to an involuntary comparison of the present wich the past. First, Ictus exam ine our foreign relations : "Territorially, France, under the second Empire bas been enlarged by three Departments-Alpe Maritimes, Savoie and Haute-Savoie,with an aggro gate population of 788,000 inhabitants. But wha is the price paid for this territorial increase L the first place, at the expense of a loan of five hun dred millions francs, contracted in 1859, at 60 fr 50c. Secondly, at the price, of all tho Frencl blood which has been shed for the dofonco of Ital; against Austria. Thirdly, at the price of the uni fi cation of Italy. Fourthly, at tho price of the uni' fication of Germany. And, finally, at tho price ol what the reorganization of our army will cost us a now system, which will call for double the ole contingent, at least 160,000 able bodied Fro nehm er Bvery year, instoad of 80,000 at the most, whiol was the contingent before 1852. "What increase ot glory has been reflected upor Franco hythe expedition to Mexico, which has cost us, since 1862, so many strong and able bodiet men, torn from the plough and tho workshop, ant so much money, so sadly needed for other pur? poses? ^ "Of whaTOeight in the balances of Prince Gort chakoff were the innumerable dispatches of M. Drouyn do Lhuys, inlSfiS?-- H?A-.UUWT-?--A ii?gio abatement of tho rigorous policy adopted igainst tho unfortunate Poles, misled by cruel il? usiona? ' . "What advantage did we derive from the vic torioB over tho Russians, which we gained in con? junction with England and Sardinia ? and of th: rictorie J which wo gained over the Austrians ie J ur alliance with the Italians i of the battle ol Sadowa, which wo permitted Prussia to win,-hav> ng, with our consont, Italy for her ally ? Did we ?orin an indissoluble alliance betweon Prussia, Italy and France,-those three powers, of 100,000, )0i) inhabitants, having a force so formidable at .heir disposal that nothing could be done without /hem nor against thom ? "But in default of this alliance if we failed to icooinplish it, or if wo repelled it, what allies' have Te? "What is our attitude now in the East, between iiussin, the power against which we wero fighting, ind Turkey, which we defended from 1854 to 1856? "IQ return for all our sacrificas what c om pena a ions are odored us, or what, indeed, is there that jan be givon to us ? "Now let us turn to our mternal affairs. Morally, France, under tho second empire, has gainednoth ng, absolutely nothing. That which on the day before the 2d of December, 1851, [the day of tho ?up d'etat,] waa liberty, on the day following was merely tolerance. What had been a right was now Daly authorization, and these authorizations [per? missions] havo not infrequently beon refused upon the most insignificant pretexts-very often when the meetings proposed were mere literary con? ferences. "But if we adopt a comparative aoale of liberty, we shall find that France is muoh below Germany, England, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland. Spain alono in all Europe is below Franc?. "What then are the facts, the ovents, or the laws, which authorise M. tho Minister of State, [M. Ronlier,] to glorify himself at having 'conducted the country gradually, from year to year, to a nobler destiny ?' AU our efforts to find thom havo been fruitless. "It is not to us our former colleague of the Legis? lativo Assembly, M. Rouher, should undertake seriously to say that tho coup d'etat of tho 2d De? cember, 1851, has savod France from anarchy; for, if ho makes uso of such languago, contrary to truth, we shall reply by placing before^ his eyes these words of the President of tho Republic, [Louis Napoleon], spoken at the Hotel de Ville, December 10,1850: 'It is with pleasure I can say to-day that the public mind has becomo tranquil; tho dangers which existed two years ago have dis? appeared, and, in spite of tho uncertainty of things, we can count on tho future, because we know that if further modifications shall becomo necessary, they can be brought about without trouble.' "And if theso words shall not suffico, we shall add those addressed [by Louis Napoleon] six days before tho coup d' etat, November 25, 1851, to tho French Exhibitors at the Universal Exposition at London, in thc Scillc du Cirque at Paris : 'Before separating, goutlcmon, permit mo to encourage you to rcnewed^flabors. Enter upon thom without fear. They will prevent distress among tho labor? ing classes this winter. J car not the future ! Peace shan, be preserved, come what will ! "When he spoke thus on the 25th of November, 1851; when he thus encouraged the indi stry and commerce of Paris to enter on new undertakings; when ho told them not to fear tho futuro; when he told thom, come what may, tranquillity should be maintained, the President of tho Republic spoke the truth. In tact, no danger, no disorder was to bo apprehended, for bo bad tho command of the army; bc bad in his hands a iLuitaiy force moro than sufficient instantly to restore tranquillity in caso it was troubled, and lo represa with energy every attempt at an emente. But waB there any reason to apprcheud an outbreak? Had there not been perfect order from Juno 13,1849, to December 1. 1851. Had not all tho elections, goncral and municipaUn Paris and elsewherc,passcd by-without any trouble? Hud the depositary of exocutive power to fear, seriously and in good faith, that there would be the slightest attempt at intor ferenco, either in his prerogative or in tho security of his person, by the legislativo power? H ono of tho two powers was threatened by tho other, as indeed ovents have proved it, was it not tho one which frr its defence had no other ..: .-upon than tho ballots of their constituents? ". n November, 1851, it is true there was rival phip between the two powers, tho offspring both of thc Republican constitution and universal suf : frage. There was rivalry, but nothing more. There was no anarchy, nor danger of anarchy. Yes, this is the truth ! For if tho President of the RepubJc had in his hands n force large enough to maintain order on the day on which he trampled under foot the Constitution he had sworn to main? tain, in this not sufficient proof that, outside of him, the "Republic had absolutely nothing to fear ? Who would have attacked it? Who would havo dared to attack, while he was defending it ? He who would have been the more invincible, the more respect he would have manifested for the Bepub lic ? "No, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, to fear for the preservation of the Constitution, for the continuance of the Republic, for the conserva? tion of liberty, and the maintenance of order. The two elections of March, 1852, that for the Legisla? tive Assembly and that for President of the Re? public, would have passed by as peaceably as the election of December 10, 1848, when,-notwith? standing the liberty of the press, and the right to hold public meetings were at that time perfectly un? trammelled,-there had not been anywhere, in any city or country hamlet, a singlo act committed at? tempting to interfere with the exercise of the right of universal suffrage. . "If, then, in all that precedes, there is not a single word that can bo gainsaid, what are we to think of the pompous eloquence of whicb M. the Minister of State, bas just been solemnly delivered, and against the justice of which we protest with all tho energy, inspired by tho vividness of our re? collections ? "No, it is not true that in his hands the country has been conducted, gradually, and with each suc? cessive year, to greater and nobler destinies. France is not more powerful to-day than she was in February, 1851. Is she moro free ? Is the country or the administration responsible for th many irreparable faults that have been committed'!6 And if new mistakes are to aggravate the evil, what means has France to throw into the balance the weight of her opinion? EMILE DB GIRARDTN." Here, then, we have in brief a review of the Em? peror's administration, from the coup (Tefal to the close of February 1867, as viamed from tho stand point of the opposition. - It is interesting and in? structivo, and, to American* readers Just now, very suggestive. ' The government of Louis NAPOLEON ia on anom? aly in tho history of governments. It is an at? tempt to unite incompatibles-elements which from their very nat uro aro mutually ropellant. Universal suffrage, the quintessence of a thorough democracy, and a liberal consti tution. with a repre? sentativo legislature, axe here attempted to he grafted upon an autocratic - despotism. An army of 1.200,000 men and a Parliament elected by uni? versal suffrage, must, needs be very heterogeneous components of the' same body politic The Em? peror's ministers knew what they were about when they opposed his late lteformM measures. They knew that a free press could not possibly co-exist with his Majesty's government. One or the other must full, and of course the&word is mightier than the pen. How foolish of M. EMTT.V. DE GIBABDIN to imagine that because there was a free press in England, in Belgium, and in the United States (at least formerly,) therefore he. could print what ho liked in La Liber lc I The Emperor's decree, apro? pos of the press, he should ha ve known, was only meant in a Pickwickian sense. The rress should be free, provided, (understood,) it say nothing prejudicial to our government. Tho above article is nothing more than a brief and pointed abstract of whal'M. JULES FAVBE said in the Chamber ; but the latter was privileged as a member of Parliament ; aid, besidos, the words of M. ?MELE ns G DURDIN w?re more caustic, and of a character to do incaleobble mischief td the Government. It was necem?ry, therefore, that the writer should be put in a pla$e of security, and his i oura al bo suspended for a baas on. True, wo havo affairs of ow own, vital in their importance, that command ott time and attention, but we make no apology to o*: readers for troub? ling th?m with this long artigo on French affairs.

DBAB SIB: In your paper of yesterday you have expressed a desire to beor tho views of several gentlemen upon tho political condition of the country. I find my name mentioned upon your hst, and proceed without bejjtation to respond. As I have never appliedmyself to politics, I cannot claim to speak to the wre statcsmon of tho country, who are devoting their enorgies to the so? lution of the pooblcm which agitates the public mind. I can only speak tho plain, honest convic? tions of a soldier. It can hardly be necessary, at this late day, to enter into a discussion of the matter that is usually brought up in arguing upon the proposed plan for reconstructing the Government. Indeed, I tbink that many of them are not pertinent to the ques? tion. The striking feature, and the one that our peo? ple should keep in view, is that we are a conquered people. Recognizing this fact fairly and squarely, there is but one course left for WIBO men to pur? sue. Accopt the terms thal are offered us by the conquerors! There can be no discredit to a" con? quered people for accepting tho conditions offered by thoir conquerors. Nor is there any occasion for a fooling of humiliation. We have made an honest, and I hope that I might say, a creditable fight, but we have lost. Let us come forward, then, and accept the ends involved in the struggle. Our people earnestly desire that the constitu? tional Government shall be re-established, and tho only means to accomplish this is to oomply with tho requiremoi ts of the recent Congressional leg? islation. Ii is said by some that Congress will not re?oive us evon after we have complied with their condi? tions. But I can find no sufficient reason for en? tertaining this proposition for a moment. I can? not admit that the representative men of a great nation could make such a pledgo in bad faith. Admitting, however, that thoro is such a mon tali reservation, can tn at bo any excuso for ua in failf inp to dischargo om* duty ? Let us accept th/ terms as we are in duty bound to do, and if ther? is a lack ot good faith, let it be upon others. I I am, very respectfully, your most obedient seri vant, JAMES LONGSTREET. Trude -with the South. Thu New York Jouma I of Commerce of a lato dato, publishes tho following striking statement in reference to the present condition of tho shipping lines from that port to the Southern cities>. STATE OF TBADE.- Fow kno ;v anything about thc condition of the Southern shipping business, and ono sufficient reason is that no such thing exists except in namo. Tho largo aud prosperous lines formerly leaving this port on regular sailing days tor New Orleans. Galveston, &c, aro now extinct. There was the old "Old Holmes Line," for exam? ple, which before thc war employed constantly from eight to a dozen Bhips, at least one vessel leaving New York overy Monday morning fer Now Orleans, laden with a valuable cargo or silks, cloths and other merchandise. The value of single cargoes rarely fell below $250,000. The great chango which has taken place appears from the fact that since tho opening of Southern ports the entire number of ships di . patched to Now Orleans by tho proprietors of that lino is six. Tho story told about all other ports be? yond Baltimore differs little from this except in details. Only a few stragghng vessels aro occa? sionally announced as "on tho berth," indtheso aro, in almost every instance, dispatched by bro? kers-a class of men unknown to the trade in more prosperous days. Very diffcieut impressions in regard to this busi? ness aro entertained in some quarters, especially among people ih the country, who heard of ibo splendid gains realized by chartering steamers in tin next few months succeeding the suspension of host.lities. But there is nothing of this sort now. As a rule, tho steam hues to Southern ports aro profitless concerns. Not long ago, a couplo of lino steamers, ono of which cost $110,000, and thc other $82,000, were put up for sale, and the best offering was ?32,000 and $28,000 respectively. Tho tact ia the South is utterly prostrate, politically and com? mercially, and it will take some time, midor tho most favorable circumstances, beforo there will be a return of oven a semblance of the old prosperity. THAT LETrEn OF RESIGNATION.-In the debato in tho United States Senate on tho reference of the credentials of Mr. Thomas, Senator elect from Maryland, the fact was dwelt upon by those oppos? ing hiB admission that he had resignod his position as Secretary of the Treasury in Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet in a letter which thoy choso to regard as disloyal. Tho following is tho extract on which this protenco i? grounded : "It has not been in my power, as you are awaro, to agree with you and a majority of your constitu? tional adviser? iu the measures which have becu adopted in reference to the present condition of things in South Carolina; nor do I think it at all probable that I shall bo able to concur in thc views which you enttrtain, so far as I understand them, touching the authority under existing laws to en? force tho collection of the customs at the port of Charleston." Mr. L. W. Jerome's private theatre in New York is occupied just now by the ladies of the Southern Relief Association, who arc giving a series of ama? teur entertainments for thc benefit of its funds. About $6.000 have already been received from this source. CONGRESS. WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate a joint resolution prohibiting the wearing of any uniform by diplomatic agents abroad not prescribed by Congress was passed. The Commi tee on Territories reported favorably the bill for the admission of Colorado. The bills authorizing the Socretary of the Treasury to sell tho warehouses on Atlantic docks, Brooklyn, and appropriating $500,000 to defray the expenses of carrying the Reconstruction Bill into effect were ?iassed. Some discussion ensued on tho joint reso ution for the sale of certain stocks held in trust tor the Choctaw and Cherokee Indians, pending which the Senate adjourned. In the House, resolutions of inquiry were adopted calling for the facts relative to the im? prisonment of the Rev. Mr. McMahon in Canada; why American claims against the British Govern? ment have not beeu paid, and what ought to he done to secure a speedy payment of the sanie, and as to the expediency of. constituting a standing committeo on labor. A memorial from the Legis? lative Assembly of Utah was presented, praying for admission as a State. The report of the Com? mittee on Elections in the caBe of the contested seats of the Colorado Territory delegates was pre? sented, with a resolution continuing the investiga? tion, and Mr. Chalcott was sworn m as the sitting delegate pending the decision. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the joint resolution appropriating $1,000,000 for the relief of destitution m the South. Mesers. Van Trump, of Ohio, and Wood, of New York, both Democrats, spoke in. opposition to the resolution. Pending a somewhat lively debate. upon the question, the committee roso and thc House adjourned. TH?BSDAV'S PROCEEDING B. SENATE.-The House bill extending the 'benefit of the increased compensation to the. employees of the first division, Currency ; Bureau, was taken up and its consideration was* indifinitely postpon? ed. The House bill exempting wrapping paper made of wood or cornstalks from internal revenue tax waa taken un and passed, with the addition ot an amendment imposing a tax of ten per cent; on all script noteB issued by State banks or municipal or other corporations. J?. resolution was adopted, instructing the Committee on Printing to inquiro into the alleged deficits in the accounts of the late public printer, and into his late purchases ol printing paper. The bill authorizing tho sale of certain stocks held in trust for the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians was taken up, amended and 'passed. Tho House bill suspending all payments to loyal owners on account of-slaves drafted -into tho United States army was then taken up and passed, after a short discussion-yeas 82, nays 7. The Souate then adjourned. A i OUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.-A Bill was passed extending to the employees of the Quartermaster's Department the provisions of the joint resolution giving additional compensation to certain em? ployees of the Government at Washington, ap? proved February 28,1867; The Senate Bill pro riding an United States District and Circuit Court for the State of Nebraska was taken, up and passed. The Committee on Public Expenditures made a report, stating that while engaged in an investigation (in relation to the New York Custom House) ordered by tho House, the Committee had taken some testimony which apparent?yinculpates one or more members of the Senate, and tho ma? jority of the Committee therefore recommend the adoption of a resolution, which was introduced, directing that ali such testimony be tiansmitted. to the Senate for its information. Aftera long dis cuLsion tho resolution was adopted. The word "affecting" was, however, inserted in tho resolution instead of "inculpating. " A resolution was also of? fered declaring it to be the sense of this House iba t H. A. Smythe, Collector of tho Port of New York* | should be at once removed. Pending its consid? eration the morning hour expired, and tho House in Committee of the Whole resumed the considera? tion of the bill for the relief of destitute persons in thc Southern States. Along debate ensued, in which Mr. Butler took a prominent part and made several characteristic speeches. He received, how? ever, several checks from various members. Mr. Woodbridgo, ot Vermont, flatly accused him of falsehood, and Mr. Bingham denounced him of having voted for secession, and also alluded to him as the hero of Fort Fisher not taken. At S.18 o'clock P. M. the debate was closod and the com? mittee rose. A personal discussion then took place between Messrs. Bingham and Butler, in which tho latter waa severely handled. The House then again resolved itself into Committee of 'the Whole on the Southern Relief bill, and all the amendments thereto, except Mr. Bingham's, which provides that the appropriation shall be made ?rom the unexpended funds in -the hands of the Freedmen a Bureau, were rejected. The commit? tee then rose and reported the bill to the House. .V vote will be taken on it at ten o'clock to-day. Tho House then adjourned. Our Military Commanders A Washington correspondent writes the fol? lowing : ituBttuaun oem tu the President his resignation as Brigadier Gene? ral of the regular army. The commu..'cation was sent to General Grant, who endorsed his recom? mendation of acceptance thereon, but, before further action was taken by the Executive, the latter received a letter from Bishop Rosecrans, the brother of General Rosecrans, asking that final action on the letter of resignation be suspended. La tho meantime the entire New York Congres? sional delegation have united in a petition to the President asking that in case General Rosecrans' resignation shall be accepted, General Sickles be appointed a Brigadier General in the regular army. 'This is urged upon tho merits of the case, and in addition, because New York has had no officer of the rank ot Geueroiin the regular., army. Should the resignation of General Rosecrans1 be accepted, there is no doubt that tho appointment of General Sickles will bc made. Tho Toledo (Ohio) Blade pays the following compliment to Gen. SCOTT : We learn that at a joint meeting of the Councils of the Union League of Charleston, S. C., the fol? lowing resolution complimenting Gen. R. K. Scott, of Napoleon, was unanimously adopted : Besolved, That tho respective Councils of tho Union League of America here assembled, do peti? tion the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, to retain Brevet Major General R. K. Scott os As? sistant Commissioner of South Carolina, and that in our opinion his removal would be detrimental to the whole community. The resoltrion, attested by the officers of the joint meeting, together with a petition for the re? tention of General Scott, was forwarded to the War Department. This is a compliment the General may well feel proud of, and is sufficient procf to Iiis many friends thai he stands firmly upon the Congressional platform of Reconstruction.
