A desperate effort was made here last night by the radicals to create an impression that the President had made an outrageous speech. De? spatches were sent all over the coun? try to this effect, for the purpose of prejudicing the minds of the party leaders in advance against it. Three or four despatches were sent, to Mr. Seward, stating that the speech of Mr. Johnson wa* r. frightful one, and a speech that he could not endorse, also begging him not to speak at the Cooper Institute meeting if he could avoid it, but if be did speak to hm careful how he committed himself to thc President. Similar despatches were also sent to Mr. Raymond aad other speakers. The game of the radicals was a bold one, and shows the desperation to which they are driven when they are compelled to resort to that dodge to bolster them? selves up.-Cor. Neic York Herald. Yesterday tbe President threw the order of the Lieutenant-General back in his face. To-day he has thrown a veto in the face of Congress, winch not only refers to the freedmen's bill, but covers the whole subject of re? construction. This action is con- ? sidered a complete withdrawal from the great party which elected him, and a union with conservative Cop? perheads and rebels. These now have the only claim to the President. The loyal men of the country, who, in the field and at home, have sup? ported the war, are to-night without a representative at the White House. Such is the feeling in Union circles here.-Cor. Cincinnati Gazette. General Howard visited President Johnson yesterday, and had a long interview in reference to his Freed? men's Bureau. He felt that it was due to the President, the interests of the freedmen, and himself, that he should be made acquainted with the President's wishes and purposes, since the President had expressed himself so entirely opposed to the whole scope and spirit of that institution. Mr. Johnson informed the General that he had in contenvplation the issuing of a proclamation declaring the rebellion at an end; and from his interpretation of the law, the Freed? men's Bureau would continue its functions for a year from tho date of said proclamation, in spite of him. He intimated no desire for General Howard'6 withdrawal from the chief direction of its affairs, although making no effort to conceal the same hostility to protecting the freedmen ? that he has frequently exhibited of j late.-Correspondence of Tribune. It is stated that the Ways and Means Committee are favorably con? sidering the proposition to tax all tobacco in the leaf, instead, as now, upon the manufactured article. It is thought this mode of taxation will prevent many and considerable frauds upon the revenue. The rupture between tho President and Congress is complete, and, on the part of the latter, much animosi? ty is manifested. What thejr can do for the recovery of their lost two- i thirds power in the Senate is to be seen. The breach may widen with every veto and every other executive act, and a few more of the Republi? can Senators may pass over to the support of the President, at least upon vital questions. A meeting of Republican members will take placo, at which the present alarming crisis will be considered. The President will have occasion to veto the civil rights bill, and the District negro suffrage bill, within a week. There is no doubt that he is quite ready for it. Thc Senate might j modify the suffrage bill, but it is not j now probable that either party de- j shes this. The radical majority urge I an unequalified actor none; and the conservatives, a?'ting in conformity with the precede it of their friends in the House, would prefer that the bill should go to the President in a form that will insure a veto. Mr. Sherman endeavored, in the Senate to-day, to prevent the conside? ration of the concurrent resolution from the Committee on Reconstruc? tion, declaring that the eleven States lately iu rebellion shall not be repre? sented in either House until Con? gress should declare that they are en? titled to be represented, on account of the present excited state of the publie mind and of the Senate itself, after the events of yesterday, and of the last few days. The House had passed the resolutions thc day after the veto, and in a state of irritation. Besides, the resolution would amount to nothing. Tt was nothiog more than a public declaration of a politi? cal opinion cu the part of Congress. It has not the form, effect, or sanc? tion of law, and would not go before che President for his assent. He thought, in fact, that the discussion of the subject here, at this moment, would greatly exasperate the present feelings, already too much excited. But, however, this forbearance was not approved by the majority, and the resolution was taken up by a vote of 20 to 19-which will probably be the vote by which it will pass the Senate. In the Congressional proceedings of Friday we find tho following: Mr. Washburne, the contestant, was then accorded permission to speak for one hour. In the course of his remarks he charged Mr. Voorhees with having been involved in the purchase of fire-arms during the war. Mr. Voorhees denounced the state? ment as false, and in turn addressed thc House, charging the committee with having at first decided, with but one dissenting vote, that he was en? titled to his seat, but that it conclud? ed to reverse its action three days afterwards. Mr. Dawes then closed the debate, aud on putting the majority report to a vote the House decided, by yeas 87, nays 36, that Mr. Washburne was duly elected, and that Mr. Voorhees was not entitled to the seat he occu? pied. lu the Michigan contested election case, the radical sitting member was diesen by votes cast out of the State, iu direct violation of the Constitution and the Supreme Court of the State -all the Judges, Republicans, but one, declared that those votes were null and void. Yet tho sitting mem? ber is retained. Auctioneer AND COMMISSION MERCHANT, Richardson Street, Opposite thc Ruins of Janneys Hotel, COLUMBIA, 8. C.

Ordered by Vie Legislature of South Caro? lina. 11HE undersigned Commissioners, ap . pointed by thc General Assembly of South Carolina, at its late session, Viii receive bids for tho valuable WATER POWER known as the COLUMBIA CANAL, until the first day of April next. The Canal ia eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and the average fall for the first three miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet at Upper street, in Columbia, and attainiug nineteen feet one ip ?h at Bridge street; thc remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth, commences at nineteen feet ten inches, and ?ttaius a fall of twenty-five feet. Fine budding sites exist between tho canal and river, giving completo protection to build? ings and machinery from freshets. The State, through the undersigned, will con? vey tho canal and all its appurtenances, together with the right of way for sixty feet on each side of the centre of the canal to the purchaser. Compensation to tho adjacent land owners for the right of way, to bo made by the purchaser, on tho same just and equitable terms that the right of way was conveyed to tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, by Act of loth December, 18-15. This power has boen accurately surveyed by Prof. Jolo LeConte, of the South Caro? lina University; his report, together with thc Act of the General Assembly and this advertisement, has been printed, and may be obtained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes, Esq., Mayor Of Columbia. Prof. LeConte estimates that by doubling the original capacity of the canal, as re? quired by the Act, that the power secured to Bridgo ?treet will bo 355 horse-power, the avtrage head being fourteen feet; and from Lrirtsre street to its mouth 532 horse? power, with an average head of twenty-one feet, and a current of one foot per second. With a current of two feet per second, the powers would be 710 and 1,004 horsepower; and if the machinery is not run at night, the power may bo doubled by accumulat? ing water in reservoirs. "As tho supply of water,'7 nays Prof. LeConte, "which may be turned from the river into the canal at its head, is almost unlimited, the canal can be enlarged to an extent commensurate with tho demand for water power. II desired, it may be made to supply water to tho extent of 5,000horse? power or more. In fact, by very simple arrangements, one-third or one-half, or even more, of the whole water in Broad Ri^er, might be turned into such an en? larged canal." This water power is literally within the city of Columbia. The city is now supplied by railroads penetrating nearly every Dis? trict in the State, furnishing the produc? tions of cotton, rice, wheat, beef and pro? visions, w'.th little oxpense at this important point. Tho city of Columbia is supplied with gas and good* water, tho climate is salubrious and liealthy, being above the miasmatic region, and invites, for pleasant settlement and society, merchants, artisans, mecha? nics, manufacturers and persons of for? tune and leisure. The property will be sold on the following conditions, to wit: 1st. The purchaser shall, within two years from tho date of conveyance, completo tho widening and deepening of said canal to at least twice it? origininal capacity. (Its original capacity was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet at bottom and four feet in denth; to doublo it according to Prof. LeCoute's report, it will require the remov..l of 36,107 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards of stone to Bridge street, and from Bridge street to its mouth 22,170 cubic yards of earth-no stone to be removed. ) That tho same shall always be kept open for boating purposes, free of charges, to where it is now used. (This will not interfere at all with the water power for driving machine? ry, as boats only descend as far as the first lock, near Upper street.) That the water shall not become stag? nant, and that it shall not be used for other than hydraulic purposes. That one-third ot tho sum bid shall be paid within thirty days after notice of ac? ceptance of bid; one-third at the expiration of six months therefrom, and tho remain? ing third at tho expiration of twelve months. Titles delivered on payment of first instalment, and that the title herein proposed to be conveyed shall revert to the State, on default being made of any of the foregoing conditions, including payment of all thc purchase money. This water power with its location, in tho judgment of tho Commissioners, is un? equaled by any in tho State of South Caro? lina, and not " surpassed by any in the Southern country. Parties sending bids will please furnish tho Commissioners with references as to the ability promptly to mako good thc same. All the communications may bo addressed to tho undersigned at Columbia, S.
