From "Washington. WASHINGTON, January LL-In thc Senate, Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, made a speech on the resolution defered by Mr. Howe yesterday, providing for the appointment of Provisional Governors for the Southern States. He argued that Congress had nc right to make war on the States. It could suppress insurrection, but there was 7:0 power to hold thc Southern Sta es as con? quered territory. In the House, the Speaker laid before ?he House the credentials of Messrs. Par row and Kennedy, Representatives elect from South Carolina. Referred to the Committee on Reconstruction. In response to.a resolution of the House, a communication from the Secretary of War was received, stating that Commis? sioners were appointed in Maryland and Delaware, to make awards for slaves mus? tered into the army; but that thc appoint? ment was suspended by order of the Presi? dent, as to the other slave States, for tho reason that all thu available mousy in tho Treasury was required to carry on military operations. Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, opposed tho negro suffrage bill, contending that this was exclusively tho white man's Govern? ment, and was so intended by the framers ot the Constitution. He characterized as abhorrent, thc recent attempt to degrade tho citizens of the District of Columbia, by conferring on the negro the right of suffrage. He also maintained that thia is a Federal, not a National Government. Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, maintained the contrary doctrine, insisting on thc political equality of man. lie declared he would rather set in the House of Repre? sentatives with Fred. Douglass than with Fernando Wood. Pending tho consideration of the bill, the House adjourned. Late advices from Europe, stale that there are rumors o? a peace between Spain and Chili by mediation. Tho Ways and Means Committee have before them a bill, prepared by Secretary Mcculloch, for funding in forty years' six per cent, guld bonds, with gold interest, all the floating indebtedness of the na t ion. The trial of Capt. Sommes is delayed by tho absence of Commodore Winslow, one of the most important witnesses, who sailed ?i short time ago for the Gulf. His arrival is look -d for at an early day. Secretary Mcculloch bas signed a check for $25.000 for Mrs. Lincoln, in compliance with thc appropriation of Congress for her relief. The Senate has confirmed the appoint? ments of William Pickering as Governor of Washington Territory, and Alvin Saund? ers as Governor of Nebraska Territory. Major William J.

Colonel Orville E. Babcock went to thc North-west, Colonel Horace Port? to tho Eastern and Atlantic States, and Colonel Eli S. Parker to the South-west. Tho following statements were taken from the report of Brevet Major Wm. A. La Motto, Chief Commissary of Musters, Department of Washington, showing the number of officers and men mustered out of service in the six months ending Oct. 81, 1865: Number in organizations and de? tachments mustered out, 55,3(>2: mustered out in hospitals, 11,9S6; discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability, 3,400; general and special orders, and sen', nee of court martial, -177.

About fifty freedmen are up in the courts. We regret to learn that the dwelling house of which Mr. W. H. Crawford had but recently become an occupant, was burnt down on last Monday morning. The fire originated on the top of the house. We believe but little of the furniture was lost, as it is probable that Mr. C. had not finished moving when tho accident occurred.-Marion (S. C.)

COTTON IN TEX\S.-A Texas gentle? man remarked to us yesterday: "I tell 3-011, sir, that Texas will raise more cotton in 18GG than the other Southern States combined, aiWl all because we have not had a Legisla? ture."-New Orleans Picayune.

Under date of Novem? ber 2lst, Mr. Adams savs he is instructed to state that thc proposition of Her Majes? ty's Government for creating a joint com ! mission is respectfully declined. On December 2d. Earl Clarendon, writing to Mr. Vdams, says Her Majesty's Govern? ment consider that no advantage can re? sult from prolonging the controversy, of winch the topics are fully exhausted, but winch might possibly, if continued, intro? duce acrimony into the relations between England and thc United States. Earl Clarendon persists, however, in asserting that England has never deviated from her duties as a neutral power, ard bc declares how strongly lier Majesty's Government and tht: people of England desire to be in close fri? ndsliip with-the United States. Virtually, tins correspondence leaves the question of American claims on England suspended. Tho London Glube highly eulogizes Lieut. General Grant's officia] report, and says it is an able, very clear, and strikingly modest document, frank by admitting ' failures ami losses, and doing full justice j to his opponents. Tile steamer Ibes, belonging to Cork, was wrecked near that port, and about twenty lives lost. T!i" Times has an editorial on Secretary McCu'loch's report, which, it says, is an? gularly abie, 'lhe Times thinks there are .drong reasons to determine Congress against extending tho existing exemption of Federal bonds from local taxation. THE FENIAN TRIALS. At Cork, on the '21st, Charles Underwood O'Connell was found guilty of treason and felony, and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.

HON. A. H. STEPHENS-His VIEW. I A letter from Hon. A. H. Stephen: ' dated at Crawfordsville, Georgi! ! 25th ultimo, contains the followin ! paragraph: j As to how I am doing, I can on! j say that, in the matter of health, j have improved greatly since my r< turn home; but the country I fin in a worse condition-physical! I morally and politically-than I e: j peeled. The general desire of tl people is for a speedy restoration < civil law and harmony, and I a engaged in doing ali I can to effe that result. I do trust that wisdor moderation and true patriotism w rule the councils at Wushingto * * * * Meanwhile, it is the du ? of every one to do the best he ca 1 the wise and the good will alwa 1 take things as they find them, and < j the best they can with them ns th? j present themselves. An unfortunate affair occurred Pee Dee Bridge on Sunday moruin I which resulted in the death of lil John Graham, who we believe was I work on the railroad bridge at th j place. The particulars, as we lear I are these : A white man, whose nar j we could not learn, and who was i . toxi ca ted, had some cross words wi I Mr. Graham, and took an emp I water bucket and struck Graham ? i the right side of the head on t temple.

EMIGRANTS AFRAID TO COME Sour We repeat it-whether the bel North that emigrants from that qui ter are not welcome ac the South thoroughly well based or not, oerfci it is that .such belief prevails; a therefore it should' be the spec business of the Legislature, at coming session, to convince the oi side world that "industry and capiti from abroad are gladly received he [Baltimore Commercial. _!? Tike True Heroic Spirit. A letter from Pendleton, S. C., speaks thus of the manner in which the people of that section have met the results of the war: Our young men have gone to work in earnest. We wre proud to see them engaged in teaching, plough? ing, wagoning, keeping grocery stores, in short, doing anything, and doing it cheerfully. A general, who bore no mean part in the war, has been living in a hut on the coast, supporting his family by fishing. Another general has been cutting wood on shares. Ours is a poverty of which no one is ashamed, and of which very few complain. We are willing to bear it, and its universality makes it more tolerable. We know that the most refined and intelligent women in the State, deserted by their deluded servants, are doing all kinds of house work-sweeping, dusting, making beds, and even in some cases cooking and washing. Innumerable widows, orphans and single women, whose property was in Confederate bonds, are penniless, and are seeking employment of some kind for bread. On the whole, our people are bear? ing their trials bravely and cheer? fully. This, certainly, is exhibiting a true, heroic spirit. This is the way in which all brave people in by-gone days, who have set their hearts upon gaining a cause, and lost their all in the attempt, have conducted them? selves. Instead of sitting down and repiniug at that which has been lost, our people painfully face the stern realities which confront them on every side, and cheerfully work on for the future. A people who conduct themselves in such a commendable manner art worthy of, and should invariably re? ceive, the confidence and encourage? ment of the successful party. Vic? tors can ever afford to be generous. They lose nothing by pursuing a lib? eral policy towards those they have overpowered. The history of thc past proves this. The experience ol the present day, as far as tried, cor? roborates the lessons of by-gone days. The conservative men of the Soupb appear to be fully improssed witt these truths. They are doing all ir their power to support the President. May they succeed in bringing shame and confusion upon the radicals anc their leaders. May they put to com plete discomfiture and rout tht hordes of political vampires ant demagogues who care nothing toi their common country ; but who shov by their acts that their great desire i; to grow rich off the South, by inau gurating a policy that would be a f joing in its effects as that of Rus sia has been in unfortunate Poland. Let us of the South so conduct our selves, that everything that we do wi) tend to support the President in tin position he has taken. - -1 . THE TABTFF AND THE SOUTH.-W are glad to find views in the Louis ville Journal upon the tariff whicl confirm those already expressed ii these columns. Mr. Sprague, o Rhode Island, a rich manufacturer has recently moved the Senate to in crease the duty upon the goods h makes; and as it is alleged that he i already making a hundred per centur profit, his motion has called fort] violent philippics against the mani facturera. The Louisville Jour ni wisely suggests that the best way t attack the manufacturers ?3 to imit?t j them, and establish manufactories c \ our own. If they grow rich by mani facturing, wo can do the same. ] they have the advantage of a greate population, they got the populatio by establishing manufactories, an the workmen came. They woul come to us of the South for a simil; reason. Slavery, which formerl kept them away, exists no longe and if we furnish them congenial oi cupation, and hold out to them tl prospect of competence, they wi come. If New England has power \ keep up a tariff upon domestic mani factures, we can get the benefit of by establishing manufactories of tl articles taxed. This is the sure kind of protection. [Richmond Dispatch. - - -#? WHEN THE EMANCIPATION PROCL M ATI ON TOOK EFFECT.-We learn tl the Hon. B. W. Gray decided in tl Lamar County District Court th the status of the negro was not char from slavery to freedom until the 2G of May, 1865. It was then that tl proclamation of the President of ti United States was made effectual 1 j the surrender of the Trans-Mississip Department.

President Johniton'i Strength in tnc Senate. One of our recent Washington de? spatches informs us what republican Senators are considered booked for opposition to the radical programme of Sumner, and consequently in favor of the President's policy, on the re? assembling of Congress. The Sena? tors named are Doolittle, Morgan, Harris, Cowan, Stewart, Trumbull, Dixon, Henderson, Anthony and two Lanes. Basing our calculation upon the statement, the President will have to begin with twenty-one votes out of forty-nine-that is, these eleven Senators named and the ten Demo? crats, who will undoubtedly sustain his reconstruction policy. There are twenty-five States repre? sented in the Senate, but there is one vacancy from Iowa, leaving the total number of Senators forty-nine. There are two Senators from the new State of Colorado waiting to take their seats, but as all the necessary pre? liminaries fanve not been gmne through for the admission of that State, these Senators will not take any action in the proceedings of Congress at pre? sent. It is clear, then, from the appearance of things just now, that the President can by the veto power, if by no other means, defeat the radical opposition. To overcome his veto there must be thirt3*-three votes, or, in other words, he requires only seventeen votes in the Senate to de? feat the radicals. Now, according to our calculation, based on the despatch referred to, he will have twenty-one votes-four more than he needs. We think, however, tho President will have more strength than this. ! Our ciassifit ition of the Senate, from the best information at command, is: Total number of Senators, 40; De? mocrats, 10; radical republicans, 12; moderate republicans, 27. Out of the twenty-seven moderate 'republicans we think there will be i found more to sustain tho administra? tion than tlie Washington despatch ? indicates. Many of these men ure on j the fence, ready to take any side their j interests point out. As shrewd po- i liticians they will see the utter hope- ? lessness of opposition ; they must see that the President will be able to carry out his restoration program me and negative the radical measures of Sumner and his confreres. We should not be surprised if the President should have a clear working majority of the Senate in support of his restora- j rion policy. We remember once seeing a medal which was struck iu honor of William Pitt, which hud for its emblem a rock iu the midst of the ocean, against which the waves and storms beat in? cessantly without moving ir. The j cool, steady and firm attitude of Mr. j Johnson reminds us of this. Congress opened with a storm, when the fierce ? Jacobin elements raged threateningly ; against the rock in the White House, j He stood unmoved, however, and now the storm has expended its strength, j the winds are subdued and the waters i are becoming calm. The prospect is that the ultra radicals will be left out, I a small faction, in the cold, powerless | to do more harm, and that an over- j whelming new administration party will be formed of all the conservative elements of old parties. [New York Herald. \ DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE.-The ' steamship Somerset, Captain RaiTle, of the Baltimore and Liverpool line, left her wharf yesterday at 9 o'clock A. M., precisely. Her cargo is very valuable, and consists of about GOO bales of cotton, 7,000 bushels of corn, 400 casks of naval stores, 50 tons of bark, 100 ca<es of canned fruit, and a large lot of miscellaneous freight. These stores were brought from Wilmington, N. C., by steamers to Baltimore, to be shipped hence for Liverpool. This is a new and very important trade, which has heretofore gone to New York, and has been at? tracted to this city because of the facilities for prompt and direct trans? portation to Europe The Somerset takes out a large number of first class passengers, among whom are I several ladies.-Ballimore Commercial. Mr. D. C. Whitman, Deputy-Com? missioner of Internal Revenue, i Washington, lois instructed the As? sessor of the First District of Ten ; nessee, that in assessing the tax of two cents -per pound on cotton, he j may make a reasonable allowance for : bagging and rope, instead of assessing the tax on tho gloss weight. In ac cordance with these instructions, the Assessor has fixed twenty pounds per bale as a reasonable allowance. The instructions of the Commissioner are, however, not to allow any refundment to those who may already Lave paid two cents on the gross weight. He says that the allowance isa "matter \ of liberality rather than right." The detectives who have been so long engaged in ferreting out the origin of the one hundred dollar counterfeit Treasury notes, have made a startling report to Secretary Mccul? loch. The Secretary has given the parties implicated by this report a f?w days to prepare rebuting evi? dence.
