THE DISTRICT OF CDLflLBIA BILL-POS8IBILITV OE A DEFEAT OF THE COTTON TAX REPEAL BILL OENEBAL AN'COCK-JOHN MITCHEL AND THE FE? NIANS. WASHINGTON, December 20.-The veto of tho bill striking the word white from District ordi? nances did not come in to-day. There is sonic difference of opinion, but the presumption is tba: this withholding of the veto amounts to a pocket veto. There was a tull meeting of thc Cabinet to-day. A count to-day indicates that the bill for the re? peal of tho cotton tax, had tho vote been taken, would have failed by two votes. An ultimate modi? fication of the tax is probable; but it will hardly apply to this year's crop. A paragraph current that General Hancock was a member of the Military Commission which hung Mrs. Surratt, is untrue. Cassady (Democrat), who is the caucus candi? dato for Senator from California, is a promiuent lawyer, formerly of New York. John Mitchel declines the Presidency of the Fe? nian Brotherhood. Revenue receipts to-day $326,000. Congressional. 8ENATE. WASHINGTON, December 20.-After the introduc? tion and reference of some unimportant resolu? tions, the debate on the cotton tax was resumed. Wide and wild views were expressed, when, with? out taking: action, or reading the amendatory Re? construction bill, the Senate went into Executive session and adjourned. HOUSE. The bill forfeiting public lands granted to South? ern railroads came up. Mr. Julian contended that only the-New Orleans and Opelousas Railroad have complied with the terms of General Grant. The matter waa finally postponed to the second Tuee day in January. Adjourned. The Virginia 'on v nt ion. RICHMOND, December 20.-A resolution was in? troduced asking Congress to continue in service all officers of the Freedmen's Bureau now on duty in Virginia until the State is reconstructed. After a debate, in which it was generally agreed that the Bureau bad proved itself a beneficial institu? tion, but had some bad men in it who ought to be mustered out, the resolution was defeated by a vote of ayes 23, nays 49. The committee reported a bill of ? ights and two articles of the constitution. The only change from the old bill of rights is a clause makiri allegiance to the United States Government paramount to that due the l?tate Government. Referred. The convention adjourned until January 2. The Gtoorgia Convention. ATLANTA, December 20.-The Convention passed an ordinance to-day to levy and collect a tax ot one-sixteenth of one per cent. It also requires the State Treasurer to advance 140,000 to the dis? barring officer of the Convention. Conservative Meeting. SAVANNAH, December 20.-There was a large Conservative meeting held last night, endorsing the action of the Macon Convention. One ol the resolutions is as tollows: "That our object is to maintain in tact the constitutio n of our fathers and the rights of the States thereunder. The Civil Rights Bill in MobUe-Mayor Horton Found Guilty. MOBILE, December 20.-The trial of Mayor Hor? ton, Pope's Appointed, for a violation of the Civil Rights bill, in the case of Charles Archie Johnson, a negro, was concluded to-day. This trial was oc? casioned by illegal banishment of said Johnson from the city. The case was fully and ably argued before Judge Busteed, of the United States Dis? trict Court. The case provoked considerable dis? cussion and interest among the people. It is re? garded a fair test of the protection afforded by the bill and resulted in a verdict of Kuil:y, rendered a few moments after the jury had retired. The sen? tence will be promulgated at 12 o'clock to-morrow. AfTairs in New Orleans. DESrBDCTTVE FTES IN VICKSBURG-OENEBAL MOW EB'S OBDEBS B?VOKED-A PROPOSED LAND DIVI? SION.

Orders issued vesterday revoke portions of the special orders of General Mower, removing certain justices of peace and clerks of courts, the super? intendent of education, and the Secretary of the State, and appointing others in their places. Gen? eral Hancock states that the allegations are not sustained. A resolution was adopted yesterday requesting Congress to pass a law ordering all public lands, and lands sold by the United States Marshal and under procer? of courts, to oo surveyed and sold in tracts not more than a hundred and less than five acres, and forbidding the sale of more than oue such tract to one individual or corporation.

RECONSTRUCTION IX A dBW PHASE. THAD. STEVENS LATEST PLAN. INTERESTING DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESEN TATI\ ES. lu the House ot* Representatives at Washington on Wednesday last, as already reported by tele graph, tho bill of Mr. Stevens in relation to recon? struction w as amended aud passed by yeas 101, nays 39. It alters the provision requiring >i ma? jority of tho registered votes tor the new constitu tion to a majority of the votes cast. Tho second section provides for tho election of representa uves a*, the time of tho election on the constitu? tion, who ?hal] take their seats at the session suc? ceeding the one at which their States are admit? ted. lu this form it was passed, the third section, providing for the new ratio of representation, hav? ing been stricken out. Vie copy au abstract of the debate : Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, nsintr to u privileged ques? tion, called up the motion borato tore submitted by nim to reconsider thc vote whereby the bill to fa? cilitate tho restoration of the late rebel States was referred to tho committee on reconstruction. Mr. Ashley said he understood that the com? mittee on reconstruction had agreed upcu a l ill embracing the feature of his bill, and ho would therefore yield to Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, to introduce his bill. Jlr. Bingham, of Ohio, said that was a mistake, as his colleague's (Mr. Ashley's) bill had boen vo? ted djwn in tho committee. Thc vote whereby thc bil! waa committed wa. reconsidered, and tho bill v as before the House. Mr. Stevens then moved to strike out all after the enacting clauso of Mr. Ashley's bill and to in? sert the bill offered by him yesterday, and the terms nf which were given in the report of that day. After tho bill had boen read, Mr. Stevens per? fected the bill by according eleven Representatives to the State of Virginia, that State having been omitted yesterday. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, moved to amend by striking out the third section of thc substitute, which designates the number of representatives for each State. Mr. Maynard desired to odor an amendment pro? viding that the constitutional conventions of tho Southern States shall have power to provide for temporary civil governments to exist until the States shall have been duly admitted, and direct? ing the military commanders to sustain such tem? porary civil governments; and requiring such con? ventions to enfranchise all citizens who have prov? ed loyal to the govetnmont. Mr. Bingham objected to tho amendment, and. as it required unanimous consent, it was not con? sidered. : Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, thought tho bill and i amendments should bc printed, and dosired to sub? mit a motion to that effect, but Mr. Stevens declin? ed to yield for that purpose. Mr. Ingersoll gavo notice that he would move to have the hill printed if the previous quostiou was not seconded. Mr. Stevens said there wa.? always sonio objec? tion to everything he had heard of either on earth or in Heaven. Hero is a bill which he had sup? posed every member would be willing to vote for. I-, is one ot' the simplest bills in tbo world, and no man can possibly misunderstand it. lu thc first tection it simply rcstores thc majority principio in thc adoption of the State constitutions; the second section s inply empowers tho people of tho South? ern States to Vote for representatives in Congress I at t ao samo time that they vote upon thc question of ratifying thc constitution; and when the States are admitted those representatives shall bo enti? tled to admission in the Congress of the United States. '1 hat is r i io whole of tho bill, except thc third . section, which the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. \ Bingham) proposed to strike out. That third sec- ^ tion has simply fixed the representation and de- j dared how many representatives tho States namod j should be entitled to until a further apportion- j meat shall bo made. This representation had t been tncroased, as it was believed, to thc number , they would be entitled to as tho result of tho lib- , eration of tho slaves. He could not accept the amendment of Mr. Maynard, because it proposes c to substitute civil authority speedily for military \ authority. He did not think the time had yot ar? rived for the substitution of civil authority, as there were still accounts coming up here of the most atrocious robberies and murders in tho South. It was only this morning that he had re? ceived a letter from New Orleans showing a terri? ble condition of affairs thero, especially siuco Han? cock has been in command, and he was satisfied that an equally painful state of affairs existed in Texas and Arkansas. Ho was therefore opposed to an absolute withdrawal of tho military until those outlaw States fhall all be brought into the Union. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, said he bud no objection to the first and second sections of the bill. Tho first section was intended to restore tho majority principio in elections, and it would bo remem? bered that ho had advocated this measure when the original Reconstruction bill was under con? sideration. The second section might bc deemed surplusage and unnecessary, as the people have already the power under tho constitution to elect representatives. The socond soction is there? fore, in aid of the law, and there need be no ob? jection to it ; but thc third section is clearly vio? lative of tho Constitution of the United.States and of the legislation of Congress. Tho power of Congress over the apportionment of members is very clearly defined. It is to be made every ten years, and he did not recognize the right of every succeeding Congress to change .tho basis of representation when once fixed. W ith himself th-t objection would bo all-sufficient, and he had therefore moved to Btrike out that section: but if the House refused to sinke it out, ho could not vote for the bill with that clause in. Take tho State ot South Carolina for instauce. Under tho apportionment of 1861 that State was allowed four representatives in Congress, and it was not thc impression then that South Carolina would in? crease so rapidly that she could possibly be enti? tled to six representatives at this time. South Carolina has not more than 800,000 inhabitants, and if she is entitled to six representatives, then Ohio, with har three millions of inhabitants, should have thirty representatives. If any chango of ap? portionment is to be made, let it be general and extend to all the States. Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, suggested that the reason Ohio ..'as not included was that it did not have so many blacks. Mr. Bingham said that was no argument. Mr. Stevens said as there seemed to be so much opposition, he would withdraw that part of tho bill which provided for representation 'rom the State at largo. Mr. Bingham insisted that under that circum? stance the third section was not at all necessary, as the paople now had the right to olect represen? tatives. Mr. Stevens then withdrew thc whole section Mr. Brooks, of New York, said he was glad the bill had aroused some opposition among repub? licans, for it was evident that they wero fearful of th? efl'eet out West if they passed such a bill as this. He referred to the several reconstruc? tion acts, and contended that their whole object was to enfranchise tho blacks and disfranchise tho whi'os of the South. Tho object was to en? slave eight millions of white people by putting an inferior race to mle over them. Mr. BrookB thon procoedod to arguo that the full-blooded negro could never be the equal of the Anglo-Saxon race, and that nature nover intended him to bc so. His very anatomical formation was difieront from his head to his feet. He had no hair upon bm head, but wool. It was true no instrument had vet boen invented to weave thc wool of the negro, but ho had no doubt that it cauld be done. Tho negro's skull is different from that of thc white man, and a difference is noted in his nose, mouth, legs, feet, and every part of his body. Ho has noth? ing to denote that he is tho equa'l of the An?lo Saxon, and it was nover intended by uature that he should bo railed upon to co-operate in a great i government, or to bo considered as tho brother of , the white man. These remarkB did not apply to the mulatto, who did evince intelligence when , white blood coursed through his veins, but the Congo negro was never intended as a man and a brother. Referring to ancient history, Mr. Brooks mentioned the Arabs, the 'Turks and others, as nations that bad been prosperous and thriving I? until they admitted the negro to a share in their government and eonunencod with the work of miscognation. j In continuation, Mr. Brooks referred to tuc his? tory of tho Mexican race, and attributed theil effeminacy and degradation to the admixture with j colored racej. This might be tho last time that j he would address a white audience upon this tloor, for it seemed to be a fixed fact that negroes J were to bo brought down from thc g:'l!cricL. and brought to seats as representatives upou this floor. But be gavo notice that the white people of the North would never submit to tho insult, xudif the dominant p?.-iy now ?lac?ened these halls with negro representatives, th? Democratic party ol tho North would at the nest election whiten them again. Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, addressed Hie House in advocacy of tho bill. Mr. Stevens repiied to Mr. Brooks, and said be? seemed to forget tho language of the Kible, which declared that the Creator made of one blood all nations of tho earth. The gentleman says he made th<* : of several bloods. He has gone into a lengthy n^tory of the negro race, but will ho dare to say thev have not souls to be saved ? The same Ood who will judge thc negro will also damn the gentleinao from New York, it' ho deserves it. lie had no doubt ol' the gentleman's great ability, and that he wa3 superior in intellect to all the House; but bc (Mr. Stevens) would liko to have a con? test for the championship of America, and he would put the gentleman from New York against Fred. Douglass and Langston. Tho gentleman (Mr. Broolaj might choose two ci the judges for a discussion on any subject except negroes' shins, ai.d it the gentleman (Mr. Brooks) did not throw up the sponge, he (Mr. Stevens) would concedo him to be superior in intellect and attainments te any gentlemen in the Houee. Mr. Stevens then demanded the previous question. The previous question was then seconded, ui.d Mr. Boyer demanded the yeas and nays upon the passage of the bill; pending which, Mr. Burr, nf Illinois, moved to adjourn, and up? on that question thc yeas and nava were ordered, and resulted, yeas 37, nays 102. The question upon the passage of the bill was then taken by yeas and nays, und it was passed by a strict party vote of 104 yeas to 39 navs. Y-Bruasic acid, in minute doses, is declared tobe a cVre for cholera and intermittent fever.

STEVENS -PL'HCHASE MONEY FOB ALASKA. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Suu, writes under date of December 18th : The President sent to both houses of Congrega to-day thc message previously called for bv r?solu? tion in relation t-> order No. 1 of General Hancock, issued by him upon assuming command of the Fifth Military District. As tho message was read in the House, parts of ii were received with loud shou s of hu^hter from the Republican side of th House. Especially was this the case in that por? tion of tho message in which ?illusion was mado to General Hancock in connection with the name of General Washington. At tho conclusion of tb reading a motion to print was referred to the com mittee on printing. Subsequently, Mr. Eldridg and other Conservative members essayed to obta the floor for tho purpose, as il was understood, offering the thanks of Congress to General Han cock for his administration of the affairs of tb Fifth District. It will bc a useless task to off any such resolution, as it is not to be presum that a sufficient number cf Republicans would voto tor it to give it a respectable majority. Tho could not do so very consistently in view of their often avowed approval of tbe acts of General Han cock's predecessor. Somo of them actually fav tho introduction of the resolution, a9 they aro un willing to bc placed upon a record of antagonis to so gallant an officer and soldior as Hancock proved himself during thc war. The Senate did not seem to bo well pleased witl the message, for a motion of Mr. Doolittle's print tho usual number of copies was objec ed to, and upon Mr. Doolittle rema:king that he never before heard ot a refusal to print a Prest dent's message, Mr. Conklin, of Now York, r torted that he nover knew of a President before who would send such a message as this to Con grcps. With ?light modification the supplemental rc construction bill, introduced by Mr. Stevens yea tcrday, was passed bv tho Houso of Representa tives to-day by a stn stay partv vote. Tho bill was intended ID the first place to repeal that clause of the original Reconstruction act which required majority of the registered voters to call a conven tion. Secondly, thc bill provided that elector could vote for members pf Congress at tho same time that they voted for or against a ratification of a State constitution; and in the third place the bill made thc apportionment of representation, and fixed it in every State except Florida, at a repre ?entation which was au increase over the number illowed by the apportionment of 1861. This in ?reasc was to be secured by providing that some of tho representatives should be olectod from tho State at large. Mr. Stevens explained that this increased ropre ?entation was required by thc freeing of thc slaves The bill seemed to bc very generally approved bv thc Republicans, except tho last clause, to whicl there was great objections from all quarters, and Mr. Bingham stated his objections in such a do usive way as to induce Mr. Stevens to withdraw the obnoxious section, and thon tho bill was passed. Mr. Stevens bad au opportunity to-day, in tin reconstruction bill, which he would not have no ?lected to improve with a long speech but for his feeble physical condition. His powers are failing rapidly. His voico, which at tho last Winter' lessioii was powerful enough to be heard in all parts of the Representatives' ball, is now BO low bat it is with difficulty he can be heard in thc rc jortors' callery. When ho now speaks, no matter ?pon wnat subject., members gather about him 'rom all sides of the House, and remain until ho concludes. lt is clear that there is in the Houso a dead op? position to any apptopriationfor the ratification of ;he treaty for the purchase of Alaska. But when t comes to the point, I do not think there will be i failure to make tho appropriation. Whilo ciem )ers sneak against the purchase, they seem to hink that a point of national honor is involved, low that the territory has beon officially trans erred to thc United States. They will insist, ?owover, that in all future purchases of territory bc ratification of the treaty shall be mado contin tent upon tho appropriation by thc Houso of Rep? resentatives. A largo number of members of Congress have ibtained loaves of absence, and left to-day for their ionics until after the holidays. IHE EXPECTED VETO-CONGRESS AND TBEAT? AP? PROPRIATIONS-COST OF THE UNITED STATES CON? SULAR SVSTEM-COMMENT OV THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE RELATIVE TO GENERAL HANCOCK. A telegram from thc same correspondent says : Tho President's message vetoing tho District of Columbia bill striking out tho word white in all aws, ftc., will bc brief. It is understood and is ixpected to bc presented to Congress to-morrow. The varianco in opinion among leading members if tho Houso upon tho functions and powors of that ?ody in tho mattor of making appropriations to arrV out treaties made by the Executive and ratt? led by the Se:iato, appears to bo gcnoral. Scarce y any coincidence of views in all particulars is n-nifested, but whilst thc indications aro that a najority claim the right of Ibo Houso to go into ,n investigation of tho merits of tho treaty and lotermine whether an appropriation shall be made ir not, yet there is reason to believe that a majori y of-members are in favor of voting for tbe appro? bation to pay for Walrussia. An impression prevails that our consular system s a costly institution to tho people. From official ources it is found, however, that tho balance is in ?vor ol'our government, and that we have during he past year derived more than one hundred thou iand dollars over all cxponses from our consular gents. The President's niossage recommending some lublic recognition of General Hancock's patriotic omuct, ?Ye., is tho theme of conversation and re nark to-night. By decided Republicans it is con? firmed as being ?n expression of sympathy with ind approbation of General Hancock's so-called avoritism for rebels. By thc Conservatives and decided Domocratstho ne8sage is nnqualiliedly applauded as well-timed, nst and magnanimous.' It is thc judgment of all liasses that by this public and formal notico of tho ?onduct of General Hancock, Mr. Johnson ha3 >laccd tho General conspicuously in position as a Conservative candidato for the Presidency in the ilection nest Fall. This idea being suggested to ?ir. Johnson to-night, ho roplied, substantially, hat if such is to be the result of his actiou to-day, ie would be satisfied, and that if thc pooplc ob mid eel disposed to reward Gen.ral Hancock tor his >atriotic conduct and statesmanlike qualities, none could more heartily endorso their choice on such riuuuds thau himself.

ED TO CONORESS. Tho following message was sent by the Presi lcut to Congress 011 Wednesday : Gentlemen vf Ute Se?ale and vi the U-ius? oj Representatives: An official copy of the order is caed by Major General Winfield H. Hancock, com nander of the Fifth Military District, dated head joarters in New Oilcans, Louisiana, on tho 29:h lay of November, has reached nie through the ogular channels of tho War Departmont, and I ?erewitb communicate it to Congress for auch Lotion as may seem to bc proper in view of all tho 1 ..lrcuinstanoes. It ..ill be perceived that General Hancock an louuccs that bo will make the law the rulo of bis .onduct; that ho will uphold the courts and other :ivil authorities in the performance of their proper lutie>; and that he will use bis military power inly to preserve the peace and enforce the law. rio declares very explicitly that the sacred right of .he trial by jury and tho privilege of tho writ of 1 tabeas corpus shall not be crushed out or trodden mtier foot. He goes further, and in ono covupre aensivo Bontence asserts that the principles of American liberty aro still thc inheritance of this people, and ever should be. \\ hen a great soldier, with unrestricted power in his hauds to oppress bis fellow-meu, voluntari y foregoes the chance of gratifying bis solfisb imbition und devores himself to thy duty of bulld? og up tho liberties and strengthening tim laws of ais country, he presents an example of th ? high :st public virtue that human rn turo is capable of practicing. Tho strongest claim of Washington :o be "first i:i war, first in peace, anu firjt in thc iiearts of bis countrymen,'' is founded on tho rreat fact that in ali bis illustrious career he .crupulously abstained from violating tho legal md constitutional rights of bis fellow-citizens. When he surrendered Lin commission to Congress, the president of that body spoke bis highest praise in saying that he Dad "always regarded tho nguin of tho civil authorities through all dangers ind disasters." Whenever power above thc law courted hi? acceptance, li?.- calm;.-- pnt the tempta? tion aside. By such magnanimous acts of for? bearance h won the universal admiration of man? kind, and left a name which lias no rival iii the history of tin, world. I am far from saying that General Hancock ls tho only officer of' ibo American army who is in? fluenced by thc example of Washington. Doubt? less thousands of them are faithfully dovoted to tho principles for which the men of tho revolution laid dowu their lives. But flic distinguished honor belmifrs to him ot being tho first officer in high command South of t?.c Potomac, ?ince thc close of the civil war, who has given utterance to these noble sentiments iu thc form of a military order. I respectfully Burrgc-nt to Congress that ?onie public recognition o! (Jen-ral Hancock's patriotic conduct is due, if not to him, to the friends of law ?nd justice thronghonl thc country. Of such an act as b's, at such a time, it :s bat lit thai the dig? nity should bo vindicated and tho virtue proclaim? ed, so that its value a.; tm example may not be lost to tho nation ANDBEW JOHNSON. WASHINGTON, D. L. December 38.lSb'7. Things in \?"*.v lork, TUE HOLIDAY SEASON AND ITS EFFECT ON BUSINESS - IMPORTANT FENIAN MOVEMENTS-THE TENE? MENT HOT SL CATASTROPHE. The New York coi respondent of the Philadel? phia Inquirer writes under dat* of the 17th in? stant: There is comparatively little buying aa yet for Christmas or Now Year. The fancy goods stores, the jewellers and the booksellers are usually very busy during thc first two weeks in December, but this season it is unpleasant to see, anti to say, is an exception to thc general rule. Though money is "easier"' in Wall-street, it ia far from easy else? where. Many merchants anti business mon, who last year at this time were doing well, aro now either on the suspended list, or are scarcely mak? ing money enough to pay rent. At the samo timo there are thousands of working psople out of em? ployment, with no immediate prospect of robot. Th?se aro facts which abundantly explain why it is that the hobday trade is so duJl, and why fancy artick-3 are less in demand for open stockings than is usuallv the case tho week before Christmas. John Mitchel's paper of to-day contains the an? nouncement that a plan of union has been agrcod to between tho rival Fenian organizations. One of the articles provides that the constitution adopted by tho Brotherhood in Philadelphia in October, I860, by the representatives of thc undivided or? ganization, be proclaimed tho supremo law of the whole national body in America, to bo respected and obeyed by all accordingly. It is also agreed that tho "Senate" provided for in that constitution, be composed of one-half of members of tho Bobcrts, and one-half of members ,-f the Stevens-Savage factions; also, that tho pres? idency of tho unitod organization be tendered by Boberts and Savage to John Mitchell; should he decline, then another mutually acceptable man to be chosen in his place. Provision is likewise made for u full and truth? ful exhibit of all moneys, property and material of war now in possession of tho respective organiza? tions, all of which is to be turned ovor to thc Uni? ted Brotherhood, which (1 quote) "shall thence? forward be continued as a body, one and indivisi? ble, until it sball havo accomplished its mission, in the restoration of the independent existence of the Irish nation, and the establishment of a dem? ocratic ropublic on Irish soil." This document, which is signed by John Savage. W. EL Boberts, F. B. Gallagher, John O'Neill anti John C. O'Brien, is of much mjre importance than the casual reader not specially interested in Fenian movements may suspect. It means preparations for fresh demonstrations of a hostile character against the peace of tho British bon-as time will develop-under cover of a domestic political move? ment, in connection with thc approaching Presi? dential election. Wait and seo. The investigation of tho mysterious poisoning caso in Brooklyn wa? continued to-day. Tho crowd was as dense as ever. Mis. Emma McIntosh, who knew Mrs. Fall and Price for two or three years, testified that sho nover knew that there was any quarrel between them. Dr. Gardiner testified to attending Mrs. Fall, at Price's solicitation to pro? scribe for her for nervous attacks. She was in the habit of drinking beer. Various other witnesses were called, but their evidence throw no additional light on the business. Tho inquest will continuo through thc remainder ot the week.

Now, however, a largo proportion of tho people ?ire learning habits of economy without tho efforts of so? cieties, leagues, or popular mcotings. Tho hard? ness of tho timos, tho dullnoss of business, tho scarcity of employment, and tho difficulty of making inonoy, are giving lessons of. ccouomy in quarters where heretofore they have never boon learned, and are giving harder lessons ?till to many who have always boon compelled to practico it. Tho severity of the present Winter is felt with iiuconuuou force and to an uncommon extort by thousonds who are villiug to work.
