Thc Proposed Appropriation for their Ki lief. Wo have already givou a brie: synopsis of tue debate bi the United Statos Senate on the 3d instant, which preceded thc rejection of ?ho clau.e iu llr* Civil Appropriation bill appro. priatin.T $20,000 to rebuild tho Orphan Asylum of the Slaters of Mercy. Wo make some fur? ther extracts from the full debate as lepo/tcd in the Congressional Globe: Slr. Howard. I trust that I know bo v to p pieciate the services of the lad:es interested in thin dann; bul, sir, il is not to be for. ottou that their prolr-ssio.i is tho doing of Rood to persons in disrcss, the poor, tho s ck, the naked the destitute. To tins object they aro by t'jeir profession devoted. They arc set apart i?r those purpose, ibcy aie as much, how? ever, subject to ibe control of their ecclesias? tical superior, the bishop of thc diocese, as are any othcrot Ins nubord.nates. and I apprehend that altbonsth we may make this gratuity, as it is called, to thom personal!}*, they will donvo no bcne? from it whatever, lt will bo to thom no compensation; bat the fund, if it should be tur.s appropriated, will be applied accordion to the direction of their ecclesiastical supere"* and to such pin-poses as he mar ace fit to ap? ply it to. Tho qnes ion would be soniowhat different if tho money which we are called npon to appropriate was to go into (ho DOC eta of these devoted women. I suppose, however, it will not. Now, sir, I am unwilling to make a distinc? tion between the Sisters of ^Teicy or the Sis? ters of Charity, ladies belonging to the Roman Catholic Church devoted to these deeds ot well-doing, and other ladies belonging to Pro? testant Churches at the North and at tho South who have evinced au equal spirit of devotion to the country and to tuo offices of humanity ?nd of Christian kindness. There are all over tbe country thousands and thousands upon thousands of those devoted ladies who ia our hour of need eave their services, and many of them their fortune, tbe r healths and their lives to the cause of the cou 11 ry, who have not come forward hero to ask any such plausible recognition as this on the part of Congress, but wnoBo cervices, compared with those ren? dered by members of the rloman Catholic Church, certainly are equally meritorious, and, in my humble judgment, incalculably more meritorious to the cause of the couatiy. Mr. Hendricks. The only diifioulty that pre? sents itself ia this case, as 1 think, is thu: that property which is destroyed in battle, whether the property of the enemy or the prop? erty ot the supporters ut the government, is not to be paid for. Ibat is the general propo? sition; and the proposition is absolute in re? gard to individuals of the enemy's oouutry as in a war between independent natioua. But I think that doct -ino oncht not to be applied to the case of a charitable institution destroyed. Amone: nations a charitable institution wou.d not be regarded, an I could not be regarded, as a public enemy. I suppose tba; it a great power wero to conquer a country, and, m thc progress of tho war, had destroyed one ot the institutions of charity, it would not be in< on? ers tem with the duties of that nation, in lukins possession of tho resources of tito country con? quered, to restore thal chirit..ble iuatiiution. While we would njt all think of makins up to individuals the losses susta ned in the war. it would seem to be > orv proper to restoro an in? stitution of charily which had fallon under tin prosecution of thb war, for tho reason that an institution of chai it v c.iunot bo rogarded as an enemy. Its nature forbids it; its mission for? bids it. Now, Mr. President, this institution, worth more motioy, as I understand from the sena I tors from South Car Jina, than tbe appropria 1 tion proposed, was destroyed du' ing ihe '>om bardmeut of Charleston.' I understand, us suggested by a senator near m \ that .he in? stitution was worth tw.ee the amount that wo propose to appropriate. What was that iusti- '< tutiou? The eena tor from Michigan savs it was owned by tbe bishop. I do not know who owned it, a d I do not care who owned it. lt is enough to know that the little children, who 1 aro to be protectel by men with ho iris m their bosoms, of all nations aud under all circum? stances, that littlo orphan children without la? thers toncare tor thom, the children of the State, were fed and clothed in that institution. 1 It was not established, it was not maintained, it was not continued for tbe purpose of giving aid to the military power of any section; bal it was maintained, by whomsoever owned, for the pnrposo of feeding and clothing littlo children; i and h3 and that government that provides for i the orphan has God's blessing. It is not uube- I coming the government of tue United States, i when in the dreadful casualties of the wax a I charitable institution like this has fallon, that it ; shall he'p to rear it again, lt is proper for the i reason that it is a charity. We do not bestow charities by aDproonalions made by Congres ?, 1 but we may lestore that which the prosecution i of the war has destroyed. ' The senator from South Carolina is acquaint- I ed with the facts, and has made his statement. < Then these Sisters, as I claim the fact to be, I npon the statement of tho senator from South I Care'..'na, have extended then- kindness to the i soldiers of the United States. There is no i question of loyalty or disloyalty involved. Ic l is a question of a destroyed borne of the i orphan, destroyed in the prosecution of the i war, destroyed in the taking of a oity which it ? became necessary, ia the prosecution of tho war, to captare. Shall we make this appro- I priation of $20 OOO ? I do not care whether that charity in its legal ownership belonged * o I the bishop or belonged to the Sisters. Then* ; is no question that the institution was used : property for the hight st puiposee, and it is not ; for ihe individual benefit, when it is restored, i eithor of the bishop or of the Sisters; it is for : the benefit of tho orphan; and being consistent with tbe laws of war, and lcquired oy the laws < of charity and kindness aol m jrai itv, I ohoose i to respond to tho appeal that is made. < Mr. Frelinghuvsen. I do not look at this : sn j.'Ct m a sectarian view or desire to invoke those feelings and prejudices. I look upon it < RB a proposition to take so much money out o' the Treasury, and as guardians of tho Treasu- i ry thc question for us to determine is wbeiher it is oar duty to vote it or not. Now, this is eithe- a le ?al claim against the United Slates or it ia a gratuity. IL is not b .th. Mr. Morrill, of Maine. If the senator will allow me, he co nmittee put it si nply on the latter grou d, that it is nothing more nor less than a gratuity. Mr. Frelinghaysen. But the senator fro a Indiana puts it partly on the one ground aud partly ou the ether. It ia tither tho ono thing or the other. Is it a claim against this government to pay for tba bomb .rduiou of property in Charleston, of all p aces in this w irld for a local claim to como from ? Tho senator says that we. re not forbidden bv tho law to '.ay for tho destruction of institutions of charity. Neither aro we firbidden by tho law to piy for private property, l'ho ques? tion is ? bether there is any obligation ot'law ?upon us to pay for either in an enemy's ountrv. Then the senator Irom Indiana plays with thit word "orphan;" and a mau must be very callous whose heart docs not make sonio re? sponse whenover tnat word is mentioned; but 1 would romind the senator that witjuti tho mst ten days tho Committee on tho Judiciiiry. on aa appoal being made to 'he Senate lo voie money for the orphans of thc soldier? ?vho were killed at Gettysburg, for iosii'uiioas which are there established, not sectarian in their char? acter felt it their duty to report and ad>i -e this Senate not to moko the appropriation. A? to its being a gratuity, all I have lo say on that Bubjoctis tba. if we enter uoon tuet line of gratuities we enter upon a Inc which has no lind ; for there is not n State iu the "Ji iou, there is hardly a neighborhood at tin North, that has no? had simiu.r instituto is to pro? mote the welfare of tin patriotic soldiers of this country; but Ibey never hivetnought of coming hero to ask the govert.menc to reim? burse them for their chantv. Woy sh mid RU mt make an appropriation to the Christian Commission, to the American Bible 8jcittv, io the Tract Sociely ? Why not to the hundreds of nurses, nud SurgCOQS, and chap'aius who went voluntarily to thc tiela? Mr. President, this war has betti a weight npon the nation; it has furrowou tho*whole land with gravos, and tho people now groan ander tho burJan of taxA'ioi?; and ? trust that that which was done iu chArit*. ?ill roma n a charity and that the." may wsek thole rv ward from that, source lioiu which they expected to receive it uaa the charily was performed. Mr Sawyer. I u g to call the attention ot ibo Se?alo io this Cwt : that in the Southern States, (lunn? the .ar, a whole race of pe .pic were taken from the protection ol' ihvmv v. no had bdoro tl.at -ned for then- animal wants; that too oahu's lookin; at their condition, pjsscd a hat, called them fie ward-* of thu nation, and appropriated immense sums iu charily to those men; that the whole Southern land was spread over with the charities of the United Statoa io those people, who had bocumo in a certain BO: se orphans; and that hero wo h ive the amplest precedont for a charily of this kind. In this case the orphans weie turned ou . of house and home upon the world, and their guardians deprived of tin power of pro? tecting them by tho aeddents of war, while tijoso guardians at that very time were minis? tering to our wounded and s ck. when tho honor ible senator from Missouri denies that they were tho means ot savins tho lives ol' our own soldiers, I point him to the testimonials ot General Scott, General Sickles, General Sherman, and other distinguished officers ot tho American army, whoso names aro all np pen -ed, not to this claim, tor these ladies make no claim; not to anv petition to Con? gress that they may be reimbursed tor tho loss ot meir property; cut thoso officers do petition Congress that the services ot these ladies may be recognized, and that they mav be put in a position again todo that charitable work which the accidents of war have taken from them the powe to do. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, I think a plain statement of this case will ?how very clearly that it ought not to bc considered by thc Sena o of the U.iited States. The papers came herc more than a year tipo. Tho S.sters ot Mercy started upon a mission to procuro aid from tho North, and obtained letters fiom various indi? viduals with that view. They started ont for no other purpose Dut when they reached Washington some kind friend, rather than put his hand in hie own pocket and contribute, advised them to como to Congress for relief. That was the character of thc papers which were referred to the Committee on Claim-; and bein? considored by tho C untnittce on Claims, the case was unanimously reported against. It seems that tin sa Sist rs of Mercy had a building in Charleston for the instruc? tion of orp'iao girls and a residence tor them? selves, both of whi-jh were moro or less damage?! during tho bombardment of thal city. The government, through its officers then stationed lhere, repair id their dwelling house and made it complete again. Such was the evidence t?at was before the Committee on Claims. Now, Mr. President, if this claim is to be al? lowed as a gratuity, or io any oth^r form, why cannot tho owners of any school bouao or of anv church in the City of Charleston, or in any other spot that has been destr >yed by the armies of the United States, come forward with equal crace for a gra'uity on the part of congress? I do not understand that wo are almoners-the dispensers of the charity of the United States. If there is auv charity to be bcetowed, let us put our hands in our own pockets. Mr. Rober i son. I wish to add a few words in Bupp.i t of the amendment reported by the Committee on Appropria ions. It scorns to me so obviously just an i proper that I must ex? press my surprise at the opposition that has been made to it in the Senate. H re ia an insti? tution devoted to the care and m untenan e of orphans in the City of Charleston, under tho chargo of the Sisters of Mercy, who. according to tho evidence presented, performed mati,\ aeta of litndue.-s to the Union prisoners m that City. During tb** bom' ardmcnt of the city tho building was almost destroyed. General Sickles. wb<n he was in command ot Charles? ton, would have had tho building rcpauud, but upon an examination it was ascertained that it co i il not bo repjired. it having boen so much injured by the shells of our forces. Tue Sisters ol Mercy now ask to h av . their building restored in order that they may bo enabled to take ciro ol tho orphans in their charge. 'Phis is surely one of the greatest charil ios lu thc world. Tnose orphans need tho protecting ann of tue government. Their former insti? tution being untenantable fri.m tho destruc? tion caused by our sh .ds.they are n >w confined in a sui all, narrow building in an uuh althv part ol tho ciiy, ?hero a great m my of them wtli suffer and probably dio Irom disease con? tracted in tint unlicalmy locality. These Sisters simply ask enough aid. enough charily from tnis government to enable them to restoro their buildings, and. 1 siucrely hopo that the Sonate will grant their request. Alter eomo further discussion tho Amend? ment was rejected; yeas twonty. nays twenty two. Abst?nt or not voting twenty-four. KINO COTTON: Some Sensible Talk for the Southern Planten from Horace Greeley. [From the New York Tribune. ] Hardly a Southern paper reaches us bnt his editorial comment of sumo sort, on the pros oective crop of 18G9. lt 13 generally concede J .bat it will bo largo if tho season is at all favor? able. Some ed tors have the sagacity to BOO .bat saying so much about a great crop this year wdl have a bad effect o.n that part of tho crop of 13G8 which remains unsold. Now. trionds at the South, before your dou? ble ploughs have thrown ail the ian . into ridges for cottou rows take time and give this trhole business of agriculture a Buber second thought. You have just come out of a great ivar iu which you wero Worst e L Tho weakest thing in the southern military service during that war was its commissariat. A strictly agn-. cultural people, haviug as much pride ol acres ia any landed aristocracy in the world, were (rom the ti rs t, and in all stages of a four years' ?tnto, weakened, hampered, thwarted, demo? ralized, and finally defeated, for wane of hoof, :oru, wheat, hay and oats. A great war is like a severe illness; it tries th i constitution and unmasks the weukuess of che s.\stem. The agricultural system of thc South has been proved defective, because in a protracted tight tho breach appeared there first. Now. what is thc gio >t chane.eristic of planting? It is, and from I ho first has been, tho der>ving of a largo incomo in clear money hom a broad surface, by the sale of vegetable products. A small planter is ono wu os J ac? count sales ot cutton or tobacco, rice or sugar, do not ligure up moro than $5000. The sales ot tue largo planter? runge ad the way f-oiu $5000 to $100 000. A lew a very Kw. Boulhcrn proprietors received ovei $100,000 from a single crop. That mode ot deriving an meo ne may have been cooue-ted with the character and Btalus of the laborer; but such connection was not inseparable. A slave could cradle wheat or fatten hugs if ordered to just as wallas he could pick cotton or sucker tobacco. Slavery hud inhen-nt sins on .nigh without charging it with blunders (hat were not. in the nature of things, inseparable Hom un pa i laoor. From tho ti.ne ot Pocahontas tho Southern domain was divided iuto large estatos. Those who surveyed uni plotted it tult as Brutus did about Caesar's body: "Let us carve him as a dish flt tor the gods, not hew him like a ear? ea ss lor the hounds."

Cotton is a very important texii.c; but nations? were clad, and well clad, before Eli Whitney was born Agriculture means (he culture of th? fields, not skimming and desolating them. En? joying tho best dinuv.c and ploughing the best soil on the continent, tho Southron ate import? ed broad drank imported wme, caro his banda imported pork, shod them wu h imported leather, and buckled an imported s iddle on the back of a bond that had travelled a thousand miles southward to find a purchaser. When such a people went to war with States that fed nod clothed them, the result was inevitable. Juiiui Cffljar with his tenth legion could have delayed that exchange o' notes at Appomattox Coorthouse, but he could not have nudo it im possiole. In profound peace, with a strong, silent, vig? ilant man at tne wheel, the country is entering upon a ducado of material prosperity and de? velopment that wih be moro amazing than the magnitude and tho obstinacy of the recent strife. What the South wants above all ot.'ior things, is not disfranchisement or enfran? chisement, or a man in the Cabinet, uor even a high price for good middling but an-agri cult ural s vs teni that i'true, just aud lasting. Uer land has bad no Sabb Uh; there has been no restoration. Tho balance between tho liv? ing and the dead products of farming wae destrovod, and must bo regained. No lands that aro not often renewed by the mud of in? undations can survive such an exhaustivo suc? cession as the planter has required of his cot? ton and tobacco Adds. A lost fertility must be restored. That sa? vagery of broom-sedge and brier-thickets must be abolished. But tho purchase ot a few thousand tons or guano will not work the de? sired change. Those phosphatic stones on Ashley River alono will not do it. The South thinks s-ie needs manufactures-and so she does. But artisans and operatives will not move there till good food and good cloth aro 1 ss costly. These will uot bo moro abundant till thcro are more good barns and well-de? signed farm-yards ; till ihese p?or. wild cows are replaced with Durhams, arid Herefords, and A?derne*s; till those razor-back hogs aro killed, and Suffoiks and Chesters take their place; till they bave fatter chickens and more of them; till potatoes, and cabbages, and ?p? ice are cheaper. Cotton always was a weak ing. He was full of pride, and vanity, and weakness. He urged his subjects into on un? equal strife, and tben showed no inflnonce at courts to make allia ice or Bccure open ports. He give the planter's family pocket money, a handsome carriage, and a heritage of b irren fields. It'ever king at all, he was King Stork. Tho South of to-day does not need cotton fac? tories bah so much as she does manure fac? tories. She thu.ks the const! ution as it was furnishes a panacea for all woes; but it :s not half so important to ber just now as the Herd-' Book. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. The President ?nd the Civil Tenure Caw A Washington telegram (March 13) to the New York Herald says : Ibo President, it appears from several con? versations with seaatois, has hit upon anew method to secure a repeal or modification of the Te ure-of office act. The senators are among thc most clamorons. applicants for places, not, of course, for themselves, but for their friends und fobowois. Tney urge fbat a clean sweep should be made of most of the parties now in ouico, because chev aro either straight oui Dem oe ais or. what is deemed ?verse. Johnson ?zed Republicans. To a senator wno used tins argument the other day tho Pre-hdant objected : "But you have tied my hands with your Civil Tenure act. aud how can I remove these men ?" '.Wo will coa-out to it as tho law pr?vidos, and that settles tho nutter," interposed the senator. "Yes, buihow do I know who you want re? moved and^uo retained? Yon know nearly all tho men now m offieo wcro confirmed ny the Senate,'' said tile President. I his was a pooor f jr tho senator, and ho did not pursue, tlio subject nny further. He was not tl w, however, in communicating tho Presi? dent's views tJ several of his colleagues in the Sonate. Like himself, most ot them aro eager to have Ibo political guillotine put speedily in motion, and one of them prob bly expressed the sentiments ut all the others when he ex? claimed, "Cv G-, we must repeal that ?et at once. If wo don'c we will be little better off than when we ad Johns m in the White House." The President raakos no secret of bis deter m<naliou not to make removals except for some cause othor than a d fference iu politics until the Teniuo-of-offieu law is repealed. H J has so informed a large number of senators and membcis who have called upon bim for tbe purpjso of having obnoxious political oppo? nents removed. The members of the Cabinet are a unit in supporting tbe President in his desire to have tho l'ouurc-of-ofike act repealed, and lose no opportunity in miking thoir senti? ments known. Said the Attornoy-Genoral to a senator yesterday : "Sir, we cannot run the ad miuistralion successfully oxcopt that law is re? pealed." The last few aays have, without question, witnessed a decided chango in tho minds ot senators with regard to the obnoxious measure, and il is a general opinion tbat when tue subject next oonie? up in the Senate tho vote will be a very largo ono in favor of ita re? peal. A letter dated a day later, to the Baltimore Sun, says : Tho Senate Judiciary Committee bas bad several talks over the Tenure-of-office matter, and it eocms to be sottlud tbat the maj >rity will roport a modified bill similar to the one re? ported at the Just session by tho Committee on Retrenchment.

A letter from Chattanooga to the Cincinnati Commercial contains the following : It is now definitely ascertained that A. J. will not go to Europe for tlio present, but will return to his old borne at Greenville, tiie last of ans week or the first of next. At loast his frionds at that point aro making preparations to re?oive him about that time. "After that, what ?" Why, about three sneeches a day dur? ing the coining summer. The talk about his being president of a prospectivo railroad, and coing to Europo to negotiate bonds, is, un? doubtedly, all gammon, tor that sort of em? ployment docs not egree with his natural tastes. As president of a railroad, ho could notrevonge himself for tho aouse heaped upon bim by Brownlow and Stokes and a host of | Radical politicians in this State. To bc sure, he might refuse to dead-head them over his road, out that would not be thc revenge that ho likes. His great forte is to get up before a thousand or two of people and express his private opinion of men ind measures in plain English; and that he will do, so soon he becomes rested, if wo may be? hove those who have good ground for knowing. Whether he is a candidato or not, will m alto very little di deren ce; he will, undoubtedly, take the stump, and speak in nearly every county in the State, during the coming summer,*and-the result will be seen in the August election. With tho militia, high taxation, anda fot ty million debt to car* ry, poor Stokes will have to face the lion under adverse circumstances; and if wo may judge tho future by the past, Billy will como out pret? ty well used up, tor tho "oldest inhabitants" say that Andy never stumped tho State without leaving his compet? or about tw -thirds dead at tho end of the race. But, in old Whig and Democrat times, they did not have franchise laws, test oaths, and like modern improve? ments. But, with i rownlow gone, Stokes whipped out, and Johnson roaming at will from ono end ot the State to tho othor, the franchise law will have lo be strong, or it will fail- to hold hi ??.
