Senatorial Proceedings. WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Sanato to-day adopted a resolution postponing tho adjournment to Thursday afternoon. During tho incidental debate Mr. Chandler charged Mr. Fesscnden with haring said that the latter would confirm Copperheads and Reoels. Mr. Fessesden repudiated thin with all the scorn and contempt that he felt, and advised Mr. Chandler hereafter to stick to' the truth. Mr. Chandler re? iterated his charge,-and Mr. Fessenden again de? nied it, and appealed to the record in support of his innocence in that respect. . Mr. Chandler said that he could not consult the record, for what Mr. Fessendensaid took place in secret session. Mr. Fessendeu made a soeoch, holding that the Senate was bound to stay here until all the vacan? cies were filled, and mentioned the fact that, of four to live hundred vacancies, only fifty remained unfilled. This fact showed the contrary to what had been asserted. The President was doing all he could to supply vacancies. Mr. Davis said that the President was on titled to praise, and insisted that he had the right to fill vacancies with hi ; political friends. Mr. Yates claimed that, as the Radicals had triumphed in the country, they had a right to all the offices. Subsequently, in executive sessiou, the Senate rejected 12 Presidential nominations, and coniirmod only 1. i Tbc State cf Georgia in tbe Supreme Court, j WASHlNGX^AgriUG;-^^^ theJfowRjbi?

The New York Journal of Commerce has thc fol ? lowing despairing article with reference to tho financial and business future of the country. The day of reckoning for cur political sins and follies, under Radical recklessness and misrule, is surely coming : "The merry laugh which orne greeted every allu? sion to possib'.o trouble is now heard less frequent? ly in the avenues of trade. The financial novices who ridiculed the lessons of experience, and - taught that the heavier tho national debt tho greater blessings, are less glib in their jibes to tho veterans of the Exchange, and advocate their crude themes with less assurance than when the inflation was in progress on the other side of the summit. * * * * * The mnnuficturing districts havo felt a sudden jar in their machinery, and are surprised that there should be any check to their prosperity, while under tho protection of the most favorable legislation. Tho smaller industries all over tho land have aire ady begun to sutler. Enterprise has lost its eagerness, and adv?nture folds its wings. There is unusual restlessness everywhere. The consumers al. over the land buy sparingly, and seem to have but little money. What has become of the enormous receipts which filled everybody's purse who had anything to sell, until the high prices oeemed a blessing instead of a curso ? Is the money spent or hoarded V It does not circu? late as it did, and the rolls of greenbacks are not as numerous or as plentiful as they were a year ago. Has anybody found out that high prices being an oflsefc in great expenses, and that, in spite of high wages, there is less iu tho working men's purse* than when he seemed to be toiling for a pittance ? What is tho impending danger? Simply the re? action after tho debauch. When it comes, a reck? oning will be the first in order. Those who have betrayed thou- trust, using funds which wero not their own, in tho wild chase for sudden wealth, will be caught as in a trap and found wanting. There will bo a legion of defaulters. Those who have carried a multitude of schemes in their hands will come to the reckoning with great disadvan? tage, and will wonder, amid the genoral shrinkago, what has become of the riches of which they counted. Debts will be tangible, fixed facts; anil their uncomfortable array will present a ghastly spectacle against the vanishing assets which will not wipe them out. A day of reckoning and set? tlement will bo a solemn time for all, and the mocking Up will forget to curl when this searching test reveals (ho ashes of what seemed the ripened fruits of toil aud providence. The adjournment of Congress, and a cessation of angry sectional discussions, may postpone the day of reckoning for a little while; but it must come at last, and the hosts of shams and delu? sions now HO fondly cherished, will shrivel and fade in its revealing light."

We have no taste for the horrible, and have therefore generally refused to regale our readers with tho many highly wrought and revolting stories we find almost every day iu our exchanges about whipping children to death ard other kin? dred atrocities. In the Northern and Northwest ern States there appears to be a mania at present, making such occurrences alarmingly frequent, One of the most recent instances of the kind comes from Chicago, chronicling the drowning of one child and an attempt at murdering another by a woman of that city. The motive was the de9iro to revenge horsolf upon tho parents of the children, because they had refused to recognizo her on ac? count of her abandoned practices. The Eev. JOEL LTNDSLET'S pious barbarity is still fresh in every one's memory. Killing a little boy four years old, because ho would not say his prayers, is an exem? plification of Christian stoicism, that was never equalled even by a BRUTUS. SO again a case of long-continued systematic cruelty is related as having been practised in Hackensack, upon an orphan girl by her employers ; and another in In? diana, where an apprentice boy was tortured by burning, beating, hanging and suffocation, till death brought relief to the miserable creature. We have read also, within the past few months, of several cases of undue ' discipline" upon girls in the common schools of Massachusetts-and this not unfrequently hy female teachers, who, upon reference of the cases to tho Board, were exonera? ted from all blame. But wc delight not in such re? volting scenes or incidents, and have generally saved our readers from the painful perusal of such brutalities. But it may not bo unprofitable to inquire into the causes of this fearful epidemic, for it fairly threatens to assume that form. Here we find a most disgraceful plague spot giving tho lie to all our boasted civilization; all our vaunted progress in an enlightened Christianity. The nativo dopravity of the human heart of course will be called upon to father the whole enormity. It is such a convenient phrase; os, indeed, is all the catalogue of social and religious cant, hypocritically saying something yet meaning nothing. Tho stern Puritan tenets carried out to their logical conclusions must cor t airily be held responsible for very much of this inhumanity. The war and the evil passions en gendered by what was euphuiBtically termed its :tvigorous prosecution," familiarized many persons to hear, read, see, aud even engage in much which in other days they would have shrunk from in horror. The law of compensation asserts itself here as it has so often dj^?-bcf?M. II?B?S* PJ^ES.iamffi?rry painted as a bloodthirsty demon j" was in tho highest degree sentimental; and could shed tears at the imaginary woes of the heroine of a novel. ROUSSEAU, the princo of sentiment, is reported to have been heartless, and even cruel BEBNARDIN DE ST. PIERRE, the author of Faul and Virginia, who, like Mrs. WrrrrrEBLY, was all soul, is described as being of a character far from loveable. The first NAPOLEON speaks thus of him. There i? therefore, nothing new, however incongruous it may seem at first sight, in the circumstance that a man may weep over a poor downtrodden slave, suffering all kinds of imagi? nary torture two thousand milos away, and yet De deaf to tho piteous cries of the starving wretches around him. Thus wo soe Mr. BEBOH, no doubt himself a most excellent gentleman, working night and day to ameliorate the condition of the rab? bits Mr. BARNUM throws daily into the cage of his Boa constrictor ; while not one hundred and fifty yards from the Museum, Mr. BEBOH and all his benevolent coadjutors could find abundance of scope for their most untiring energies, among then: own kind. How eau they expect to effect a general reform in the treatment of dumb animals, if they do" not first ensuro justice and equity to man ? BURNS' lines are brought to mind : ' Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." Tho cold-blooded statistician, rinding these traits part of the average humm character, makes his calculations, and coolly tells ns in Prussia so and so many die annually of poison, so many are murdered; so many commit suicide, etc., etc., as though it was a law of necessity. We rosent such soulless teaching, but upon refection are compell? ed to admit its g oner al accuracy. Why it is that one form of crime marks one era, and another the next, and so oh, and why they appear to succeed each other in periodical regularity, we are unable to say. Thus wevfind suicide prevailing at ene time, Chen poisoning, then violent murder, then arson perhaps, and so on. Just now, as we have seen above, child murder seems to be the prevail? ing form of the disease on this sido of the Atlantic. Why 'Harper's Weekly has not yet embellished its pages with cartoons suggested by those highly suggestive occurrences, is to us inexplicable. Are the victims, perhaps, of the wrong color, homopho? bia being one of the concomitant diseases at pre? sent prevalent in those hyper bor -?an latitudes ? Wc p^use. for a reply. Cotton During thc Lat ?> War. The attraction of high prices induced attempts at cotton culture in most quarters: of tho world that gave the least promise of success. Many of these efforts, backed up as they were by iVttish cap? ital, have led not only to an increased production but to great improvements in the preparation of the staple. These advances in getting up tho ar? ticle for market has raised up a moro formidable competition than the South has ever before expe? rienced, and sho may expect that tho effect of this competition will be to bring dora the price of cot? ton to a low figure, but with the skill, intelligence and superior capacity of the planting population of this section, united to tho great advantages bo stowed by nature for tho growth of this valuabl commodity, we have no foar but that ultimately tho South will como out triumphant. We givo be? low an extract from an English paper giving some valuable information in reference to tho growth of cotton in that part of the world: COTTON SUPPL! ASSOCIATION. At the usual meeting of the Executive Commit? tee, held in Manchester on Tuesday, 29th March, 1867, a number of reports and papers were pre? sented. INDIA. A letter was read from tho acting cotton com? missioner, Dharwar, reporting that thoro will bo in Bombay not only a large, bul a very superior crop this year. He stales that he has been nearly all over Hie cotton districts, aDd that tho staplo is a very great improvement both in quantity and quality as compared with last year's crop. Now that cotton speculation has decreased, and a stea? dier business has commenced, is the time to push on improvements in cultivation, as well as to intro? duce superior varieties. Cotton improvemont never received more attontiou in tho Bombay presidency than it is now doing. One notable mstanco of turning out a comparatively wortl Jess cotton, and introducing a better description on a wholesale scale, has .. been ex? hibited in the Ehandeish Zilla, aud other improvements are very largely- but quietly hoing effected in most other districts. Tho ofiicial re? port on tho Bombay cotton crop will shortly be forwarded. A cattle power, not for horses or pomes, but for slow working bullocks and buf taloes, animals that will not do at the most moro than two miles an hour, is much needed. Such a "power," constructed from special representations is now on its way out, and if it succeeds it wd prove of great benefit. A lotter was received from the houorary agents of thc association, Bombay, requesting fm thor supplies of seed, and onclosiii? reports on the cultivation of Peruvian cotton in ludia. The experiments in Dharwar appear to have been ex-eedingly satisfactory. This descrip? tion of cotton has only to bo sown every fourth -jear, and the cost of cultivation is consequently much diminished, artificial watering is not neces? sary, and it succeeds in soil too poor and stonv for any other kind, and in which thc regular annual crops do not give profitable returns. The only difliculty apprehended in thc introduc? tion of Peruvian cotton over a large area is the chango it would necessitate in tho method ot' cul? tivation which prevails among thu ryots, who ure accustomed to treat cotton us an annual. Further supplies of Peruvian seed are requested, which, however, it is feared eau scarcely roach thc up? country districts early enough for tho next solving season. A parcel was received containing voriou * samples of cotton grow n from Dharwar Now Or? leans seed in the EuiUtdghee Zillah, Bombay Presi? dency, iu the Khargono district of Centra,! India, in the territory of his Highness Maharajah liolkar, and in the Dholporo district of tho same terri? tory, together with samples grown from Egyptian seed in the Ah meda had collecto rat?. The yield of a beegull of laud at Khargono planted with indigenous cotton, was 120 lbagaiust 288 lbs. from New Orleans seed, while the profit to the farmer iu the former ease was only two rupees tlirco annas and ten pies, against fifteen rupees four annus and six pies, thc profit from New Orleans seed. The experiment is therefore considered to be highly important. Let? ters were received from tho cotton commissioner, central provinces and tho berars, containing re? turns of the quantity of cotton received ?it and forwarded from the cotton yards at tho stations of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway during the present season. Haring but a single line, the cotton, which pours iu nil at one time, must necessarily get blocked; oue means ol Ercventing this and of easing the trnftic would bc y pressing the colton; but until European houses become established up-country, there is not much chance of any great quantity of cotton being full pressed in thc interior. A beginning has been made, and a great improvement is expected next season. Already four European agents have set? tled ut the principal cotton marts, and are doing a good commission business, and thc number will, doubtless, soon bo doubled. Tho opiuion is strongly expressed, that, to secure good and cheap cotton ?t Manchester, it is necessary thut mer? chants should settlo up-country near the great markets, and buy and press there. The Jubbul riore exhibition was a success; there was a very good show of cotton, and also of cotton machinery, considering thc distances and difficulties ot trans? port. Letter from Walterboro'. "W ALTERBOB o', April 13. EDITOB DAILY NEWS : Tho Court of Common Pleas for Colloton District, Judge MOSES presiding, closed its regular spring session this afternoon. As a mere "looker-on," I have thought to preparo a plain, succinct account of its proceedings for your columns. Judge MOSES has fully sustained the expectations of his friends in bringing to his high position that dignity and ability which is the pride of our State judiciary, and that courtesy which tho true gentle? man never forgets. His charge, upon the opening of the Court, was sensible and appropriate; and in referring to the condition of the country and the course all sound policy enjoined upon us to pursue, he arose to oc? casional fliphts of eloquence which will long be remembered by those who listened to his words. He said there is a total revulsion in our social con? dition. The patricians of yesterday, we are the plebians of to-day; and the fortunes which our fathers toiled so long.to build, demolished by tho desolating touch of war, must be remodelled and reconstructed. The powerfal auxiliara of the rising generation are no more, and their future depends upon the intrinsic worth of their own heads and their own hearts. In some respects it may be a benetit, for reverses teach humility, and a due sense of human weakness; and if every one is tho architect of his own fortune, wo may see a race of builders appearing who will be an honor to themselv .j and thoii* country. To this sourcoho looked with pride to seo restored the constitutional hopes of America. In relation to the freedmen and our obligations to them, his language waB lucid and effective. They are ignorant; they know nothing of the im? munities and duties of citizenship, and vet, through the machinations of those who under? stand them least, those rights have been conferred, and these duties enjoined. It is a part of policy to accept in good faith tho condition of things. Wo should not shrink, by supine passivity, the re sponsibitics of the hour. It is big with the bur? then of destiny. There are those who tell us that whether we act or not, we are drifting to the same in?vitable fate; that wo have not an alternative, but are drifting, in swift eddies, to the dark and ruthless whirlpool; that, resisted or unresisted, a vindictive fate is hurrying us to Charybdis. From such opinions his Honor dissented." He is not of those who tum pale at tho sight of new difficulties, and heartsick upon discovering that the material out of which we must rebuild is unpromising. It is the surest sign of excellence when the immortal pvramids of national famo are erected by a people bereft of power, amid the attacks and opposition of unscrupulous and influential foes-erected, too, of wreck-piecos of a gigantic delusion. We must take a stand and countervail the evil, while we advance the good incident to our Government and our country. What then is our duty ? We must control the negro vote. He is incapable to exercise Iiis right of suffrage, and whether all be be erased from this premature stroke of power, will be for our governance. How vitally impor? tant then that we direct the current of events which we arc powerless to stem 1 Already emisa? rios, alike enemies io the black race and to hu? manity, aro in our midst, moulding to their pur EoseB the opinions and predelictions of the negro, f this state of things ?B to proceed, there can be but little hopo for tho country. But in the great hearts of her sons there is hope. We must learn to trust ourselves, to confide in no quasi friends, and above oil to control the ballot box and guard the agricultural interests of the country. His Honor, after referring to the industrial status of the country, proceeded to the investigation of tho causes upon the criminal docket which was groatly facilitated by the energy, urbanity and de? cided ability of the Solicitor, Mr. YoumauB. It is difficult to determine in which branch of his busi? ness he i * most officient, whother in the examina? tion of witnesses or in his pleadings. His reason? ing is remarkably sound and olear ; he presents truth with irresistible force, and seems , to have studied and learned the law as a science. The number of criminal causes tried at this term will at first strike the mind as being very large, but when we consider tho extent of country em? braced in this district, the distance from this point and from each other, where these crimes wero committed-two "of them having originated on tho Combahce, one near Bontowle's, one at Bidgeville, ono above Georgo's Station, and one near the liarnwoll line in this Parish, and one within twenty miles of this place. When we re? member that many of these, under the old system, would have boen settled between the owners of the negroes and the parties aggrieved, or been tried by a magistrate and freeholders in the neighbor? hood where the offence was committed, and possi? bly never heard of except in the immediate vicini? ty'; that some of these crimes take date in the past summer ; theso, coupled with the new con? dition of tho negroes, may, and I think do, furnish a rifttiefcctorr-solution or the matter." I do not think it can bo truly said that crime is very largely increased in this District. Among the causes tried was one for murder, one for highway robbery, threo for burglary, in two of which wero two persons concerned, and one for horse stealing, tried under the oct of 1865-all were convicted. Monday Lososne, charged with mur? der was defended by Hon. W. F. Colcock and Mr. Wm. Godfrey. The whole trial was conducted with great care ; the jury selected from among tho most intelligent gentlemen of the paunch ana the testimony, which was principally given by colored persons, was confined to the strictest rulos. It is due to the witnesses to say, their testimony was given with so much truthfulness and clearness that it was impossible for the jury to avoid convic? tion. Thc defendant himself, under the new law, was put upon the stand and told his own story. The Solicitor, at the suggestion of His Honor the Judge, forbore a cross examination of him. It is needless to say that each and every cause tried was equally well defended, and that tho prisoners had tho sympathies of thc juries and of the spectators. I am informed that in several coses tho criminals have boon recommended by tho jury to executive clemency. Four white persons were convicted of cow-stealing. Saturday, at 12 o'clock, having been appointed for pronouncing sentences upon the criminals, the Court House was crowded with whito and colored persons. I havo been present on many such oc casious, but never, in my whole lifo, havo I hoard so mucli eloquouce embodied in an exhortation to criminals, nor have I ever seon so much feeling exhibited, both by the Judgo and the audience, as on that occaBiou. I remember Mr. Wirts' story of thc "'Llind Preacher," and I can find nothing pise in the storehouse of roy memory to which I can compare this most excellent and most appro? priate address. I could have wished that every body in this District could have heard it-especial? ly tho colored people. Early in tho term the Grand Jury made a pre? sentment upon tho condition of the country, in re? lation to thu matters of general indebtedness and general sacing, which, I understand, has been or? dered to be published in some newspaper. In tho matter of debts, very little was dono be? yond thc Process Docket, which seemed to stick to his Honor almost to tho moment of adjournment. An extra term of tho Court has been ordered for trial of cases of Tort only, to be held on tho third Monday in May next, lt is proper that I should add. in making up this report of the chargo of Judge Moses, that \that hos been written is from memory, and after a lapse of several days. B. TUE LOCAL EEPOBTEB.-At a printors'festival, held not long since in Columbus, Ohio, Mr. W. H. BUSLEY, of tho Slate Journal, in responding to the toast of the "Local Reporter," made a very charac? teristic speech. It is so much to the point that we quote some extracts : "Some years ago, when it was proposed that I become a local editor, I asked a friend, an old newspapor man. tho simple question: What are tho duties of a local editor ? Ho answered bluntly, I cannot tell you. A local editor is always badly scattered. Ho is the bushwhacker of a newspaper establishment. Ho works on the high-pressure principle, always ready to blow up or to be blowcd np, but bis position ?B not definable. He docs a little of everything. The question was repeated in earnest, but always caroo tho same answer. 1 thought tho man unkind, and was so unfavorablv impressed with the duties of a local editor that I dodged them, and commenced my newspaper career in another department. ".Since that I havo been compelled to admit that tho man was right. Experience has taught me that thc duties of a local reporter are learned and aot taught. His department is, in truth, the s ;> mn i sh hue of tho establishment. It is his duty to meei face to fa o with the world about him. His battles are on tho guerrilla plan, but must be fought with broken lines, aud so sk?lfully manag? ed as never to bring into action tho heavy forcee of tho reserve. A reporter of local events becomes necessarily a peculiar person. He seems to the world a very uicrconary individual, ne goes to see a man who has* broken his leg, not tc sympathize, but to question him. Ho nina tc a lire, not to give assistance, but to gel par? ticulars. Ho wishes no man harm, but when banu befalls, hu calls it good luck. Ho has an item on the brain. It is bis business to ask ques? tions, his duty to answer none. A "burglary' with him is simply business, something horrible, a sensation. His receiving capacity is very great. In one hour ho will have been in the dark hell fi ile to look upon a murder, will have joined thc bright circle of a Christian festival, have listo?ed to thc eloquent words from a pulpit, have hoare the sweetest strains from au opera, have glauccd at thc best scenes ol'a drama, have possessed him? self of the important news ot tho capital, and, having greeted and questioned ono hundred people, be in Ids seat teluna for the reader a dozen different stories iii as inanv minutes. ".Seriously, the local editor is often misunder? stood. He is no less a gentleman than others ol mankind. There is as little of the mercenary about him as any other mau of business. He can? not have the elab?rale politeness of tho man ol leisure, and hence is often misunderstood. Thc lady from whom ho hurries away, with a hal! framed apology, to shake hands with a rough look? ing mon, pronounces hun a boar. Instinct tsachot thu local that thc rough man bas an item, and thc lady would excuse bis impoliteness did slio knovi that tho stirring romance of the next dav cami from the rough inuividual who supplanted her ir thc locals attentions. Tho aristocrat thinks the local a fool when he turnsfiom him to shake hanci with a laborer, the poor man that ho is a awol when h? meets lum arm in arm with tho rich man! On every hand ho is liable to be misunderstood! His motives aro questioned, himself accused. Bul be bas friends that rightly understand him, wi? know that a local editor is often aman with a warn: heart."
