CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
The Judicial y Committee of the Senate
Snubs the Amnesty Proclamation-No?
body Hurt.
Mr. Edmunds, from tho Judiciary Commit?
tee, to whom was referred thc message of the
President relative to his procla mat ion cf De?
cember 25, granting universal amnesty, re?
ported the same back to tho Se?alo on Wed?
nesday moraine, wth a lengthy report, stating
that the committee are ol tho opinion that tho
powers attempted to bo exercised in tho pro?
clamation to jrrant general amnesty are without
tho authority or assent of Congress, and has
po foundation in thc constitution or laws. The
report closes with a resolution that in the
opinion of the Senate tho proclamation of the
President of the Vnitcd States oa tho 25th or
December, 1SGS, purporting to grant general
pardon and. amnesty io ali perons guUty of
treason and hostility to the United States dur?
ing tho late rebellion, was not authorized by
tho coosiitution or laws. Tho Washington
correspondent of tho Baltimore Gazette re?
marks :
The report has surprised no ono here, as it
was well understood in political circles that
such would be the report of that committee, a
report that is worth about the paper it is writ
ton on. Tho committee aro careful not to say
a word as to the legal effect of the proclama?
tion, this being left to tho judicial department
of the governineut, precisely where it would
hive beon left without any o?nn>on. expressed
or otherwise, by the five distinguished gentle?
men who compose thc Jtuiciary Committee of
the Senate. As tho official teim ot President
Johnson is about drawing to a close, he might
be allowed lo depart in peace, but certain
mombcrs of both Houses of Congress seem
to delieht in putting chips on their beads and
daring Andrew Johnson to knock them off.
There is at least one consolation to tue citi?
zen whilo reading thc report of the Judiciary
Committeo made to-day, and that is '-nobody's
. hort."
The Constitutional Amendment-Ano?
ther Muddle in the Senate.
A Washington telegram, of Wednesday,
6ajs :
Another scone of confusion, amounting to an
almost inextricable parliamentary muddle,
took place in the Senate this afternoon in the
discussion upon the proper modo of disposing
of the suffraso constitutional atnendmout,
which had come back from the House on tho
refusal of that body to concur iu tho Senate
amor-dments. Over three hours were spent in
determining the effect if the Senate receded
from its amendments, nearly one-half of the !
senators arguing that such action would have i
the effjet or parsing the joint resolution as it <
came from tho Hous J orig.uall*. ; tho other half ;
holding that the p issago of a motion co recede i
left tho suilVr.sc amendment opeu for amend- ?
menu, or adoption, or rejection. i
Jt becamn raggac that the republican sena- I
lore were abaut equally divided upon tho
Hon e proposition, which was considered to
prohibit, by iraphovtinn at least, colored citi?
zens from holding office. OA this ground clio
?ootheru senators appeared to bo a unit in op?
position to thia resolution, they demanding
that the measnie should be so worded as to
give negroes the same rights aud privileged as
are accorded to them in South Carolina, Lou?
isiana, tus. Oa ibis subject quite a heated
conversation was indulged in between Senator
Stewart and the Southern sooators. in one cor?
ner ol tte Senate cnamber, whilst tho varions
vot?e were being takon. Mr. Stewart had un?
dertaken to engineer tho suffrage resolution
through in a jiffy to-day, and had counted
upon the co-operation of Southern senators.
The Senate having subsequently receded from
its am.ndmonts. aud refused to adopt
the House resolution, left the whole sub?
ject aguan open to b?gin dc noon. This
was jusc what Senator? funiner and hil?
son desired, and thereupon tne.v simultane?
ously, with a doz.m other senators, jumped to
the floor, clamorous for recoguition from the
chair. Mr. S?cw^r: rushed down closo to tho
President's chair, aud succeeded in setting in
a motion to tako up tho suffrage resolution
adopied by the S?nate Judiciary Committee,
which gives tho colored citizen tho right to
hold offi--o. Thia rosoiation was ezpeeied to
havo tho support ot tbe Southern aonatcra,
and that therefore it would poss instan tor. nut,
to tho consternation ot tho oxcitod Stewart,
up sprang Senator Howard, ono of the most
ra deal of Radicals, and announced bia de
termination to oppose aud disouss tho JCSO
Intion. Senator Nye also aa id ho wooldoppose
the measure, lt was now six o'clock, un i tho
sen itpr? very gene al.y took advantage o' the
opportunity, whilst Senator Howaid was mak?
ing his speech, to get luncheon.
In their pr.vate com" rom os the friends of
tho pendi' g resolution expressed groat fear
that, siter all. the snfiragc ame idrn.mt would
fail to get safely through both Houaes at this
session. There are some who would insist
upon a provision that tho amendment, be sub?
mitted only to tho State Legislatures h Areal ter
to be eleoted, but this Disposition would bo
discussed and thus, by consuming tuno, de?
feat tho whole measure.
The Alabama Claims Treaty-Certainty
of its lt eject iou.
From the Washington d. itches (of Wed?
nesday) to the Now York Hei-id, wo make the
following extracts :
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
held a mcetinsr to-day. and among other sub?
jects discussed the treaty between tho U.iited
States aud Great Britain concmniae the sjettle?
mont of the Alabama claims. ..lthcugh tho
question was brought up near thc closo oi" tho
session cf the committee a fair expression o?
sen iment waa elicited on tho terms ot the
treaty concluded between our Minister to Eng?
land. Beverdy Johnson, and tho British Minis?
ter for Foroig.i Affairs. Lor I Stanley, A
olear majority of tue commitico expresfod
themselves as opposed to the provisions of
tho ti caty. Mr. Sumner, chairman of tho
committee, waa o.' o.m.i.<:i that Minister
Johnson, in negotiant.*? tho trcatv, had j
los; sk-ht of tho icol points at jstuo be?
tween the two govert.lucius, l oo muco had
been conceded to Gre at Bvt-.in; r..d m view of
ti e fact, that a partial ack: owledguieDt had
already beeii nude I y that govon m ?nt of tho
damages resulting lo American citizens from
thc ravages ff the Aiaounia, too little attention
had been poi i to Ameritan interests. Tuia
opiuiou ?via concur: cl in by a majority ct the
committee, inciudii g Senators Cameron, .Mor?
ton, Patterson and burlan. Judg-nu' ?rom the
senilmente ixi r ased by the members ofihe
commitko ut the meeting tc-day then; iain be
little doubt that the treaty- will bf reported ad?
versely to the Senate. The feeling of a maj ,r\
ty of senators openly txprest-ed indicates that
such a report ?oiri the committee will be sus?
tained by a voiy large vote.
Kemo-v-.ilof Political Disabilities.
The Houao to day by a large vote p S3ed the
D'.Bibility bill reported from tho Deconstruc?
tion Committee. The effort of air. McXeu.
of Kentucky, to huvo tho names from that
8t 'te BU nek ont laiied, all tho Doiuccrats end
a largo number of Republicans voting against
him. McK' O ha-sou;ut to commend himself
.lately io ihcu tra B.idtcahj oi" r.he Hoiuo by at
tacking his native State, Kentucky, in the most
outrageous manner. Yesterday, whoa tho reso?
lution giving John i). YOUDR, whoso seat
McKee contested, the usual allowance for ex?
penses in couteasing the ease was offered,
McKee, contrary to all precedent, not only op?
posed the resolution, but attempted to defeat
it by resorting i > filibustering tactics. McKee
is a candidate for Clerk of tho House, and it is
presumed he wants- to make himself proruiuent
and at the same timo commend himself to tho
Radicals by abusing Kentucky. The passage
of tho bill to-dav indicates that two-thirds ot'
the House are disposed-to pardon Democrats
as well as Republicans.
The Speakership Contest.
A very careful canvass of thc Speakership
contest, made without bias towards either can?
didate, reveals the following results: The
New England vote is divided between Blaine
and Dawes, inclining slightly in ftvor ot
Dawes. In the Muidla States cf Now York,
New Jersey aud Pennsylvania, with their thir
tv-tive Bepoliean votes, Blaine lias an un?
doubted aud reliable majority. In thc South?
ern States a majoritv so for Blaine, w> lo in
the \Y -.i Blame leads Dawes so decisive ly that
there is poetically no contest left between
them, loose who have given tho subject
I meet careful attention say that out of one hun
I dred and thirty-five Republican votes iii tho
caucus Blaine is ccrtaiu of ninety-five to ono
hundred. Blaine is supported by the more
radical, v gorous and progressive element, of
tho party, while the slower and more conserva?
tive el? mont incline to Dawe-?. But this con?
servative element does not represont a third
of tue party in Congress.
The Franking Privilege.
The Post jfficc Committee has decided upon
making the tollowing amendment to the bill
of the House: Abolishing the use of stamps in
tho franking syBtem, and requiring tho written
autograph of those eutitled *o tho franking
privilege, exccDt heads ot departments and
heads of bureaus now entirlod by law to the
franking privilege, who shall be allowed to
frank all o?cial matter pertaining to their
departments or bureaus by the use of a sb mp,
winch shall designate the object for which it
is used under 6uch regulations as the Post?
master-General shall prescribe.
SEA ISLAND COTTON PLANTING.
ttdisto Island.
[Correspondence of the Now York Post]
EDISTO ISLASD, Ifcbruary 10.-Edisto Island,
which is of somewhat irregular shape, and
very much cut up bv estuaries or creeks Bet?
ting in .rom the North and South Edisio Riv?
ers and from tho Atlantic Ocian, is so nearly a
level plain ihat probably its highest point is
scarcely moro h in len feet above ordinary high
water mark. Probably onc-ha f ot tho" moro
sandy portion of the island hes so near to tide
level that its drainage is very difficult, and at
best, nader ibo old system of open ditches,
very imperfect.
These wetter portions ate separated from
each other by slight ridges, making what in
there called a" 'turtle-back" formation. IT.esc
turrlc-baclis consist almost entirely of tbo
finest conceivable sana, ht for writing sand or
for use in an hour-glass aud coh-?titutin? Jl'om
ninety-three to ninety-five per cont, of the soil
to au iudeiiaite depth. Of coarse, it i3 under
a'l circumstances-' sufficiently dry. aud is in
many respects admirable for tho purposes to
which it is devoted.
Almost invariably the <fcprcs8ious between
these Kligbt ridges,"ns well as frequent "'pock
et-holes upon Uieirij arc undcr.iucd by strata
ot clay and bog iron ore, which keep them
constantly wet, "and thc capillary action of the
sand itso f is so 8ti o g that a weil sunk in a
ridge eeveu foot above tho level ci the sur?
rounding water is u wally iillodto wif?iin throe
or tour feet of tho surface of thc ground. Tho
salt water creeks. Iiotdered by marshes, fur?
nish an inexhaustible supply or tho best mate?
rial with which to otirich tho lighter soils; and
it is an almost universal practice, wherever
thc op?rai iou can be affu ded, to gi\o each
acre an aunual "mudding" ol' f;oin foity to
fifty cart-loads.
The lortiiity of tho soil is cviucod by tho
most pi ofuse growth of "very species of natu
i al vegetation. Pine, m wu aha and live oak
of enormous size cover cv .ry acre ti:at ia not
kept in cultivation, and tho tropical and hide?
ous palmetto treo pushes trom every neglected
patch of open ground. Tho trees are drupod
with the beantafal gray moss tb it is supposed
to iudicato insalubrity of climate; aud ihj
fioid which was last \car in excellent cultiva?
tion is now coated with a dense m it of Ber?
muda grass, whose canebrakes and sedges of
luxuriant growth occupy tho trotter portions of
the cround.
In tbo ordinary sense, the island can by no
means bj considered a sood agricultural terri?
tory. The single remunerative industry is the
growth of soa island cotton. Under ordinary
cultivation corn yieldB only about eight bush
sis IO thc acre, and with the best care North
snvplautei.' have thu* far only succeeded in
rai?iu<; tho yield to twelve bushels. Tho food
ot the population is almost entirely imported
ind the whole area is io bo regarded as prop?
erty devoted lo the production of the finest of
tex ilo materials.
For thu raising of sea island cotton probably
no traci on tho whole soaboard has so high "a
reputation, or bas earned it so woll. A portion
of last year's crop of a very fino variety (tho
Eurelia) has been Bold for $2 50 a pound, the
average price for the ordinary crop being about
$140. 1 he cultivation of this cotton is more
nearly akin to gambling than anything else
outside of Wall-street. Tho plantation of Mr.
John Wright, tormerly of NJW J.rscv, which

lins' steel ploughs arc required for thc manar?

the entire food of tho ani??is, as v.oli as ol
tho bauds, is bruug.it from tue North at great
ex; .cuse, and tho whole oiganizrtion is KU ex?

The condition of tho freedmen is certainly
better thau would bo supposed, in view of tho
fact of their recent emancipation and their
slight advantages. Yet they aro bv no m-jiins
? model rural population. Petty thievery and
oilier evidences of u want of virtue aro plenty;
yet thoso people aro easily managed, perfectly
good-natured, generally polite, and for their
work, are certainly efficient. If any means
tan be devised lor iesseuing tho extent of the
ravages of tho caterpillar, and if thiB island
and others can bo so engineered as to dis?
charge their drainage water mainly at thc
level of low *ido, nothing can prevent the
whole relton i.?m becoming moro prosp?rons
than it was even in its best dave; for it is un?
questionably true that a far better quality of
cotton can bc raised in tins limited region than
ltiywhcro else iu tho world where its cjllivn
iiott has be<ra attempted, whilo thc capacity of
the wholo area is not .sufficient, to reduce "the
inarkot value below a higtny profitable point.
How much ad va j l?ge is to result from tho
use of the Charleston phospates it ia im?
possible now to say. They have been experi?
mented with only a single year; but tho results
aavo boen geneiallv most satisfactory, and
lhere is evoi y reason to believe that if prop
Miy manufactured into superphosphate cf limo
they will not i nly supplant Peruvian guano as
ni' ans of producing a crop, but will much
?ffoctually compensate lor thc toss of phos?
phoric acid, which the sale of cotton seed is
sure to entail. It is Mr. Wright's epinic?^ that
n average seasons lour nundro.l pounds of
}eod will bc produced from eich acre, the
uarket value of this being about sevpn
lollara, enough to pay tho outtro cost of a very
borough fertilizing with an ammoniated gu
lorphospuato.
The condition of affairs in Edislo and tho
ither seaboard islands ol the South is ccr
ainly a matter ot rreat interest to Northern
nen; but while there are cDances for the at
ninment of sreat fortunes, the risks, as shown
>y the experience of the past two years, are so
;reat that they moy well deter any but tboac
)f tho largest capital and most enterprising
spirit. What the effect will bo of a f?w more
.ears of intelligent cultivation with tho aid of
lewly introduced machinery (beforo thc war
ho boo was used fur all work), of the thor
)ugh draining of tho water lands, and of tho
renetal use of phospbatic manures, it ia iin
>ossible no.y to say.

THE l?IJiCJH JLV TSE BOVDOIE.
The Saturday Review, in the course of a long
discussion of the articles in favor of whipping
girls in England, that appeared in the Eng?
lishman's Domestic Magazine, says :
Another siop has been taken in tho onward
march of feminine aggression. On all sid.:e
the fortress in which masculine presumption
has so long been intrenched is now assailed,
and one by one thc outworks are failing. That
hideous old superstition of tho supremacy of
man having once been denied, ano bis claims
lo an exclusive usc of any virile properties,
from brains to breeches," having once been
vitiated, it is astonishing to SPO how rapidly
the ., -tole pocial and political fabric which has
becu constructed on that foundation is tumb
linc: to pieces. Man's monopoly ol'cigars, of
clubs, ol'the pulpit, ot' thc liberal protessions,
of sports, ol'academical life, and of ibo fran?
chise having each ot them been moro or less
successfully infringed, ono might almost have
been incliued to fancy that there was little else
left which woman could grudgo Lim; that he
had been stripped of every shred of bis ancient
encroach tuen ts, and that, except the tr.fling
and accidental distiuctious o. sex and of bodily
strength. tli6rc was now really no property and
no quality left undisputed "which might be
said to difFercmtiato the male from tho fe
maic Briton. But such a conclusion would
be prom nure, 'lhere is at least, it semes,
ono more great privilege, one more time
honored custom, which the male inhabitants
of tins country have been used to arrogate
lo themselves, and of tho exercise of |
which there arc divers notorious emblems and
instrumente. Tho malo inhabitants of Great
Britain have been hitherto distinguished from
their female compatriots, as from the inhabi?
tants of "lost other couutries, by tho peculiar
insular privilege of r calving eorporeal chas?
tisement at certain stages and in certain con?
ditions of their existence; and indeed, until
very recently, it would not have been an inac?
curate acco.int ct tho difference between Eng?
lish mon and ?ngli-b women which described
the former un that portion cf the community
which is, and. the latter as that which is not,
flogged. It was not likely that women. In their
presort mood of self-assertion, would long
allow such an invidious distinction lo remain
unchallenged. If the young blngliah woman ia
to be trained to be in all respects as liko as pos?
sible to what the young English man has been,
it is clear that moans of discipline and correc?
tion similar to those which have been in force
among men must ba brought to beor upon
tho girls. It was to be expected that Leiore
long-, that should occar which has now,
lt seems, in fact occurred; that man's monopo?
ly of the birch und the cane, as instruments of
training or education, should be attacked in
tho same way as his monopoly of the academy,
tho pulpit and the franchise; that a sect of
female flagellants wonld ariso to swell the
numbers ot those who aro assailing man's em?
pire; and that to thc women who wish to
preach, tho women who wish to graduate, anti
the wemen who wish to vote, would shortly be
added too women who wish to flog. * * * *
Some of these !a:!ies arc downright enthusiasts
for the bindi and tho taws. They secrn to glory
in thc privilege ot thrashing their girls. They
give faithful representations, carefully drawn
from thc lire, of ?heir own pot modo
of conducing tho op?ration. The pre?
liminaries, thc place ol execution-some?
times a bed-room, some-times a boudoir
the instrument ol' torture, thu ochtvior of tho
victim beforo, during, and alter the infliction
ot thc Hogging, in toort, tiie most minute de?
tails ot nie entire pio?css, aro described witu
that graphic loree which some women exhibit
when anting ou a subject which powerfully
iu teres: s and excites tucm. Those wiitcrs do
not even lake tho lino of apologizing for tue
inhumanity, or of endeavoring to palliate tho
sham", winch munt bc involved in thc process
of stripping and flogging a girl of fifteen or I
sixteen y*.irs old. On the contrary, some, of j
tin rn, wno seem io have a .sort ot iniasioti for
propagating tho doctrine of flagging giris, aro
most keen in recommending means whereby
tho pai:: may bc mado os severo ana tho -hame
as overwhelming lo thu sufferer as possible.
- It is a fact perhaps not generally known, tut
interesting to voting men, thut#the solitary
ringlet, which floats from eo many waterfalls,
isa notification on thc part ol their carriers
that they aro not engaged. If it is extremely
long the wearer is supposed to bo very desi?
rous of getting spliced at once; if only modi
ratel.v lo g. it shows that only good utters ?ill
no entertained; an extremely abort, meagre
ringlet indicates that thc wearer ia very partic?
ular aa to abom abo accopta. but nevertheless
aLows that 6he is not yet engaged.
-The journt'lista of Berlin have, at tho aug
