WASHINGTON, December 21.-In the .Senate, Howard's resolution, asking the President to inform the Senate upon what charges Jeffcrsou Davis was confined, aud why he has not been brought to trial, was referred to thc following committee : Messrs. Fessenden, Grimes, Harris, How? ard, Johnson and Wilhams. Sumner presented a petition from the colored citizens of Tennessee, protesting against the reception of the Tennessee delegation until the rights of the colored people of Tennessee were recognized. Also, a petition from the white citizens of the District of Columbia, asking the exten? sion of the right of suffrage to the colored citizens. In the House of Representatives, Hub? bard, of Connecticut, offered a resolution that the United States will never recognize any government imposed on any nation on this continent hy the army of anv European power : which was referred to the Commit? tee on Foreign Relations. Fiioike kas made & speech against the radicals, denying the theory of Stevens, that tue South is a conquered territory, and condemned any scheme interfering with thc right of suffrage which should be enjoyed by the South. Raymond also took issue with Stevens, denying that the South can be considered a belligerent power, and declared himself opposed to confiscation acts, which were notonlv oppressive, but unchristian, and tliat it became the duty of a patriot to do everything to restore peace and harmony to both sections. Waihtngton SeWi< WASHINGTON, December 2L-The Secre? tary of State has addressed to the Provi? sional Governor of South Carolina and the Constitutional Governor of the same State, a letter similar to those addressed to the Governors of Georgia, Alabama and Mis? sissippi, relieving the Provisional Governor of his authority and placing it in tho hands of the Constitutional Governor. DECEMBER 22.-The vote in this city yes? terday for negro suffrage, resulted in 35 favorable and 6,500 opposed to it. The name of Lewis I). Campbell, of Ohio, has been sent to the Senate for confirma? tion as Minister to Mexico. Gen. Logan declined the appointment. WASHINGTON, December 23.-Secretaj Seward, by direction of the President, " addressed" a letter to Governor Wortjjf, of North Carolina, informing him visional Governor Holden has h&n re? lieved. Gevernor Holden is dirVctcd to deliver to Governor Worth all papers con? nected with his office. 7 Secretary Seward, in his conmiunication to Governor Holden, conveys tho Presi? dent's acknowledgment of tho fidelity and loyal discretion which has marked his (Holden's) administration. Secretary Seward has received a letter from Governor Orr, of South Carolina, re? turning thanks, in tho name of the people of South Carolina, for the tender of co? operation on the part of the Government, when found necessary, in cfi'ecting tho early restoration of permanent prosperity and the future welfare of the State. "You may rest assured," Governor Orr adds, "of my .unalterable purpose to aid in up? holding the supremacy of thc laws of tho United States, and advancing the honor, interest and prosperity of our common country." The Government has received nothing official from the French Emperor indicat? ing tho withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. The French Minister has indicated that such is thc Emperor's in? tention. Maximilian ha's already arranged to sup? ply their places with Austrian troops. It seems to be the settled determination of Congress to pass a bill for an air-line road between Washington and New York. A hill for this purpose is now in the hands of Thaddeus Slovens.

INFORMATION has been communicated to this Department, by thc Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary^ of State, that the President of the United States has relieved the Hon. Benjamin F. Perry from thc fnr I ther discharge of his duties as Provisional Governor of the State, and has remitted the "care and condition of the proper affairs of tho State to the constitutional authorities chosen by the people thereof." This intelligence will bo highly gratify? ing, as it is an important s te o in tho carly restoration of the people to the enjoyment of all their civil rights. It is the harbinger of the re-establishment of those friendly relation?, in every section of the Union, which have been so long alienated and .stranged. In retiring from his position, Gevernoi Perry carries with him thc thanks of tm I people of South Carolina, for the wisdom zeal, fidelity and ability with which bc die charged the grave, delicate and importan duties of his office. Ir. entering upon thc duties of Constitu ti'mal Governor, it is proper that I shook declare the present status of thc State t< the Executive Department of the Federa Government, and to the military authori ties acting under the instructions of tb President; so that tho people, knowing may yield prompt obodiencc to all lawfu authority. The order suspending the writ of habea corpuvissned by the President, has no beemmodified or revoked in this State, an the/military authority is, therefore, f>*ra mount in all such matters as they are>ii ytructed to take jurisdiction of, and a i such wiU be respected by all orderly an law-abiding people. The military claim jurisdiction in a cases of disloyalty to the Government an refractions of its laws; to preserve ordc and discipline in and near their garrisoni to adjudge and determine aU controvcrsit in which freedmen "or freedmen and whiti are engaged, including violations of Stal laws by freedmen; in all cases of wrong c injury done to its officers and soldiers; an is an auxiliary in aiding Treasury agent to recover United States property, and tl: Freedmen's Bureau in supervising coi tracts of labor with freedmen. Whenev? a person, therefore, is arrested by militai authority on either of the above ground they have jurisdiction of the case, and a: instructed not to obey any writ of tiai>e( corpus for the release of such person. I therefore advise and admonish ti people of this State not to allow themselv to bo inveigled or seduced by bad or mi guided men into collisions with the mi tary authorities, -if the order of an offic is arbitrary, or tltc conduct of officer private is illegal or oppressive, upon pr per representations to the District Coi mandera or to the distinguished Coi mander of the Department, adequate ai prompt redress will bc afforded and t wrong- doer properly punished. In all controversies between citizcr arising ont of wrongs or injuries done person or property, and in all violations the penal codo hy citizens, tho laws are full forte, and tho courts will be open henceforth on every circuit to adminisl law and punish crime. The vicions, t lawless and tire desperate will speedily overtaken bv justice and tho majesty the law re-established and vindicated. The colored people of this State, w j have neither land nor capital, are carnes j admonished to make contracts at once : labor for the next year. They may i assured thai the Government will not g i them lands, stock or agricultural inir ments, nor will any food hereafter be f nished td those who are able to wo Those who will not work will very soon immersed in vice, crime and disgrace, the colored people really desiro to elev their raco and make themselves rcspec hie, it can only be attained by sobriety, dust ry, economy and honesty. It ic tho duty of tho citizen, as it i wise policy, to treat tho freedman w kindness, humanity and justice, and him to ameliorate and elevate his coi tion. Under such a policy, a majority them will labor patiently and faithfu and the eye will be greeted everywl with blooming fields, fruitful harvests well filled granaries!
