Some six or eight bills, thc titles of which have been already tele graphed to THE .NEWS, received thou- third reading, passed, and were ordered to bo sent to tho Houso. Oil tho question being taken yesterday of agreeing to Ibo passage of tho bill to confirm and declaro valid tho recent election of Mayor and Alderraou ot tho City of Charleston, IS.

So tbo bill passed, aild was "oidcred to bo sent to tho Houso of Representatives. IN THE HUUSE, to-day, Brown of Charleston, introduced a resolution instructing tho Com hiitteo on Privileges und Elections, and thu Judiciary Committee, to report by Tuesday upon tho bill to confirm and declare valid tho recent election for Mayor and Alderineu ol tho City of Charleston. DeLarge said : I hope the resolut ion will be referred. 'This is one of tho most importan! bills ever introduced into tins Legislature, and tho committee require timo to examino it. ThiB bill will establish a precedent,and wheth er tho result will bc tor good or evil, I will not now say; but I um opposed to establishing pre cedents without duo thought and conr!

In connection with that subject, I would remark that there is not only tho law to bo considered, but also' tho best interests of tho community of Charleston. 1 will notassent to havo tho oommitteo put under the lash of tho whip to make their report.

'There can be nothing lost in giving the commit tee tuno to thoroughly consider it, as it is something of great and vital importance. I am not here new to say whether I am in favor of or agaiust the bill. I shall decide that ques tion myself, and when it comes up, if 1 am hero I shall d tend or oppose it, as my judg ment dictatos. Elliott also favored the reieronce, and thought tho adoption of tho resolution of instruction was unnecessary, as the committee would give the subject their most earnest con sideration, and report in due time. The resolution, on motion of Ferrier, was re ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Corbin introduced in tho benate on Fri day, a bill to prevent and punish bribery and corruption, tho rst section ot' which pre scribes a penalty of imprisonment in tho peni tentiary not exceeding five years, or a flue ot throe thousund dolkus and imprisonment in jail not exceeding one year, to any ono who at tempts to bribe any executive, legislativo or judicial offi er. A motion to print brought out some opposition. Rev. il. H. Cain said, bia ereiltest objection to tho bill was, that ho was afraid if the bill passed the Republican party in South Carolina goes down. Mr. Corbin wished to know which wing of it. Cam-The white- wing; tho one of which I spolie of tho other day as monopolizing all tho offices. Mr. Corbin said, in his young days he used to go bunting especially after ducks and partridges. When ho shot into a flock ho could always tell which ono was shot by tho flutter ing. If anybody was bit here lie thought it would be the patt of modesty and good judg ment not lo fin tier on this ooo.sion. Tho act cain.ot bo lotrospeotivo at all. It can only punish i ut uro offences, hence gentlemen may compose their Fouls in peace. There was no danger to any one hero, none whatever. Ho I hoped the bill would oo printed. The bill was ordered (o be pd dod. Tno volitions of Isaac Wickliffe, of Oconce, and E. H. Gr.flin, J. R. Gossett iud J. B.

'The bill to aid tho construction of tbo Port Royal Railroad came up in tho Senate Friday under special order iori second randing.' Mr. Corbin asked tho friends of the bill for some explanation. It appoared to bim, ho said, to be a great swindle. This aroused thc tjmporot Wright, of Bean fort, .rho introduced the bill, and is usually ono of tho most cool and able dobators in tho Sonata.

Interview of thc Congressional Commit tee with tho President elect-Ucncral Grunt's Speech-Ile announces his Pol icy- Economy, Uctrcncnmcut, thc faithful Collection of thc Keveline, and the Payment of thc Public Debt Unfaithful Officials to Walk thc Plank. Senator Morton, with Representatives Jas. F. Wilson and J. V. L. Pruyn, the Joint Com mittee appointed by tho House and Sonato to wait upon General Grant and notify him of his election as President of tho Unitod States, dis charged tho duty assigned to them on Satur day morning. Senator Morion, in a few remarks, assured thc General that his election was extremely gratifying to his countrymen, and that the peoplo felt assured ho would, in exercising the duties of his distinguished office, apply the samo energy, integrity, and patriotism that had characteriz2d him in a former sphere of usefulness ; and in concluding his remarks, said that he would have the support of tho people of the nation-oven including those who differed politically from him-in administering tho affairs of the government. GENERAL GRANT'S POLICY. General Grant, receiving from Senatq^Jor- | ton tho corti cato of his election, announced, amidst intonso excitement on tho part ol the ,few- gentlwnm who woEd< >rcao:^ -; od~ B-ar firm, audible voice, substantially, that in ac cepting the office of President of tho United States, he assured them of his determination to carry out faithfully the obligations < f that office, and referred particularly to tho necessi ties for au honest and faithful discharge of the revenue laws. He would call around him mon who would earnestly carry out the principles of economy, retrenchment and honesty, which were desirjd by tho people of tho country. It ho,dil not succeed in this, at lirst ho would pot hesitate to make a seco id or oven a third trial, and until ho found those who would prove entirely satisfactory. Should tho offic rs ol' tho different branches of tho government sorvicefnot satisfy him in the discharge of their official duty, ho would not hesitate a moment about removing them, and would do so just as quickly with his own appointments as witb those of his predecessor. General Grant stated that he had not an nounced his Cabinet up to tho time of tho offi cial declaration of tho result of the election, , but had intended at that period to make known tho names of thoso whom ho would invito to become members. In tho interval, however, ho had concluded not to make known tho names of tho gentlemen whose services ho would be glad to havo in this respect even to thc gentlemen themselves, until he sent them into tho Senate for confirmation. Tho reason for this determination, General Grant said, was because of tho tact that should ho do so, a pressure would imrnediatoly commenco from various parties, to endeavor to induce him to chango his determina'ion, not so much probably from tho fact that, tho opposition would bo undo from personal motives, bnt on account of the interest which thc gentlemen may have for their own friends. For thoso and other reasons, ho had concluded to make no public announcement of bis Cabinet until tho tune mentioned. General (.rant spoke without any reserve, and with tho groatest frankness and courtesy; and his remarks were received by his dis tinguished visitors with ovory mark of interest and approbation. DEMOCRATIC CO-OPERATION PROMISED. Afterward, Mr. Pruyn, of tho committee, ad dressed tho Gouoral very briefly, to tho effect that whdc tho parly with which he was identi fied differed politically from tho President elect, ho desired to assura bim that his admin istration, in carrying out tho principles whiob ho had montionod, would have thoir hearty support and co-operation. Thc speeches wore deli vt red more in a con versational tono than ina formal set mannor, and tho o<cisi n was ono of quiot, though most intonso i teros t. Tho members of tho staff of Genor<d Grant wore present. About twenty gentlemen wero pres mt altogether, inoluding tho c. mmitt o and staff officors. SPEAnEil OLF\X ACOKPfS.

They presented h.m with a certificate ot his election as ViC3-President; signed by tho Prosulont of tho Sonato, and thon eeverally co. gratula ted him-, to which fiioudly expres sions ho responded as follows : QenMrnen-Pleaso convey to tho two Houses of Congress my acceptation of tho office to which I have uocn elected by tho peoplo of tho United States, and assure them that I shall endeavor to prove worthy of this mark of con fidence by fidohty to principle and duty.

[ Washington Lett* rv -Mrs. Johnson, a confirmed invalid, has never appeared in society in Washington. Her very existence is a myth to almost every one. She was last soon at a party given tb her grandchildren. She was seated in one of the Republican Court chairs, a dainty affair of satin and ebony. Sho did not rise when tho children, or older guests, wore presented to her; shosimply said, "My dears. I am an in valid," and ber sad, palo face and suuken eyes fully proved tho expression. Mrs. Johnson looks much older than t ie President, and her I ago does exceed his by a lew swings of the scythe of Time. She was never beautiful, but an observai would say. contemplating* hp VAl A noblo wT\mai*i"^*oU'ii1ir t, beBttfaitt to man.* * None but a jjdse and good mot her could have reared such daughtors as Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stover.-I Washington Correspondence.
