COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, Dec. 18. 1863. Consolatory. Thc Democratic Central Commit? tee of Indiana have come to ihe con? clusion-which they proclaim to the world in a formal address-that au "overwhelming majority"" of the peo? ple of the United States aro in favor of thc President's policy of restora? tion, and that Congress represents but forty-three per cent, of the peo? ple. The "overwhelming majority" consists of fifty-seven per cent, of the people. "We believe, with the Richmond Dispatch, that the Indiana Democrats aro not mistaken in their facts. We believe, also, that nine-tenths of the people of Ireland, Poland, Huugary and Candia are governed by rulers whom they detest. Bat, then, where's the remedy? Every movement of the radicals shows- that they are alHictcd wiith judicial blindness, and gives promise of a better day for the South. At present, we derive but little con? solation from the figures and calcula? tions of thc Indiana Committee. Like all other oppressed people, we must bide our time, and uso all our intel? lect and physical powers to restore thc Constitution and the Union tc what their framers intended their to bc. "Wendell Phillips' \omin?tion. We learn from thc New York Work. that Wendell Phillips is out in las: week's Anti-Sla'cerij Standard in favo] of Fred Douglas as United State: Senator in place of thc Hon. Ira Har ress. Phillips objects to Greeley 01: account of his "notorious wcaknes: and cowardice," and his "peri?dica attack of the old Whig disease o Congressmen."' Horace Conkliuj might do, but he has the misfortun to bc a white man; so Phillips wil none of him. Thc choice of the grea radical leader is thus indicated : "We know a gentleman, we' known also in political circles, whos location in thc State happens tu b exactly right, who has probably don more than any mau in thc State t promote the cause of genuine repul licanism, who is justly distinguishe at home and abroad as a patriot, joni nalist and an orator, who is comp? tent to lill with honor to himself an the State the position of Senator, an whose name is Frederick Douglas: As an eligible candidate availab) from locality and eminent persons fitness, we commend Mr. Douglass t the favorable consideration of tl honorable gentlemen of the LegisL ture." Fred may be a representative Blac Republican, but Phillips is iuconsis ent, as Ins nominee has some whi blood in him. There's a good tin coming. The twaddle indulged in by tl radical United States Senate, tl school-boy arguments, the nonsens the ignorance of even tho first prim pies of political economy, are d: gusting. Mr. Cowan said, on Thai day, "in- had soon Senators here w) did not understand the difference! tween a bill of attainder and an ; tainder for treason; who did n understand what was an ex post fa law. "' The radical Sumner is und? stood to maui tain that the phrase the Federal Constitution, "attaint] for treason," means ''bill of attai der." Ho maintains this so as have an excuse for selling the f simple of confiscated lauds. Ar/n BIGHT.-At the recent loi election in Boston, the negroes voted the Democratic ticket. Tl was because they found the radie would not give them a chance at t spoils. The' usual radical major: was cut down some 900, and t Democrats gained largely in t lower wards. The Boston negr< have found out what the rest of \ African race will discover in ge time-that the Democrats ale, af all, their best friends. It is contemplated to erect a h pital in the city of New Orleans the benefit of poor Confederate s diers, and, fur that purpose, t Southern Hospital Association in issued tickets for sale, arranged such a manner that there will be 1 as many prizes as tickets sold. Tl will be drawn oh Christinas day New Oilcans. Price of tickets 31 - -o . o- - _ An order har> bepn issued for arrest of tho Hon. John Morris Benjamin Wood, and a dozen ot lottery dealers, on the complaint Nelson ii. Odella, who deposes t within the past two years lie has ] tho sum of $35,000 at tho lottery ; policy shop3 kopt by the dc feudal Thc I?"rvf Negro District. As a mutter of some interest, we ' publish below the provisions of the ! bill just passed by Congress for uni ? versal suffrage in the District of Co? lumbia. Successive amendments to I extend thc right of suffrage to fe? males, and to establish a reading and writing qualification, were summarily i rejected, and tho bill was passed as reported by the committee. It pro- I vides: That from and after thc passage of I this Act, each and every male person, excepting paupers and persons under i guardianship, of the age of twenty one years and upwards, who has not been convicted of any infamous crime or offence, and excepting persons who j may have vohintarily left the District of Columbot lo give aid and comfort to thc j rebels in Ute late rebellion, and who isa i citizen ol' tlie United States, and who j shall have resided in thc said District for the period of six mouthsprevious ito any election therein, shall be enti j tied to thc elective franchise, and i shall be deemed au elector, and enti? tled to vote at any election in said District, without any distinction on account of color or race."' The bill also provides for heavy penalties to be imposed upon any person who shall refuse to accept the vote of any sueh qualified voter, or j who shall, in any way, interfere with or interrupt such voters in the exer? cise of their franchise. This is a fore? taste of what is in store for the South? ern States, if Thad. Stevens and his party be not overwhelmed by popular opinion, or by a master-stroke of Executive policy and wisdom. The whole interests of the country, North and South, demand restoration and peace, and this can only be accom? plished by the destruction of that j faction, which appears to have no other object than the utter subversion of the Government and the oblitera? tion of the Constitution, which its members swore to' "maintain and defend." Military vs. Civil Law. A despatch from Newbern, North Carolina, dated 13th inst., says : "The business of the Count}- court was suspended to-day in consequence j of the order of General Sickles for? bidding tho infliction of corporeal punishment on any one. The State prescribed it for certain offences, on both whites and blacks. There is considerable excitement on the sub? ject. Thc magistrates meet to-morrow i to consider what action is necessary. I The Legislature has resolved to semi three commissioners to Wash? ington to confer with the authorities on the subject. Governor Worth will head thc commission and select his associate commissioners." In this connection, we append a despatch from New Orleans, dated li>th inst.: "Barracks are going np at Grenada, j Mississippi,*for u permanent garrison j for United States troops. It is said j Jackson, Vicksburg and Natchez are ?also to be made permanent posts, j The Major-General commanding says it is simply to aid the civil authorities 1 in maintaining the law. Major-Gen? eral Wood has been complimentarily addressed by the Grand Jury of Ma? rion County, Mississippi, for impar? tiality and justice in the execution of his duties, to which he replies : 'It is the desire of the army that the civil authorities should bc altogether trusted with the execution of the laws.' " We find in the Hartford Gwirant the following notice of a new busi? ness into which the Government has gone: ! "MK. EDITOR: Will yon jilease make known to the ladies of Hart ? ford that the Government has made I arrangements to send to the North, i free of expense, all colored persons in j the District of Columbia, who are i desirous of procuring situations for 1 themselves for the coining winier." It is quite observable to those of our citizens familiar with New Haven, that a great influx of colored persons is taking, piace. At least four "South? ern freedmen" are now in the jails of this State, charged with murder. [iVetc Haven Register. In the case of the United States I liefere the French Court, the United ' States has been ordered to pay into j the Court as security for costs in case j thc suit is decided against them the sum of one hundred and fifty million of francs. The United States C?n ? sui remarked that whilst legal pro? ceedings had been instituted in j Fiance in relation to claims, there j was likely to be something more s'eri ; ons ilian mere diplomacy in tthe case of England, where the claims of the American Government amounted to . over five hundred millions. An affidavit from thc Union Pacific j Railroad Company has been received 1 by the Secretary of thc Interior to the \ effect that the ninth section of thirty \ five miles of this road has been com ' pu ted, commencing at the two hun I dred and seventh th and terminating \ at tho thirty-fifth milepost, West i from Omaha.* j James H.

The foreign news by" the cable, given yesterday, stated that the man who gave the information which led to the arrest of Surratt is a French Canadian named St. Marie. He was formerly a Union soldier, and after? wards served in the Pupal Zonave3. Both he and Surratt, it is alleged, we re in love willi the same lady in Washington, and St. M%ie betrayed Surratt through jealousy. The fol? lowing is said to be the affidavit of St. Marie, on which Surratt was first arrested while serving as a Papal Zouave. It will be seen the traitor to his friend swears not only io all he pretends to know, but. to what he be? lieves and imagines. Ile also argues a little : "1 was living in Maryland, at a small village called Ellangowan, or Little Texas, about twenty-five or thirty miles from Baltimore, where I was engaged as teacher for a period of about five months. I then and there got acquainted with Lewis J. Weichman ami Johu H. Surratt, who came to that locality to pay a visit to the parish pi iest. At that first inter? view a grca., deal was said about the war and slavery, the sentiments ex? pressed by these two individuals be? ing more than secessionist. In the course of the conversation, I remem? ber Surratt to have said that Presi? dent Lincoln would certainly pay for ail the men that were slain during the war. About a month after I re? moved to Washington, at the instiga? tion of Weichman, and got a situa? tion as tutor-, where he was himself engaged. Surratt visited us weekly, and lie once offered to send me South, but I declined. I did not remain more than a month at Wash? ington, not being able to agree with Weichman, and enlisted in the army of the North, as stated in my first statement in writing to General King. I have met Surratt in Italy, at a small town called Velletri. He is now known under the name of John Wat? son. I recognized him before lu? made himself known to me, and told him privately. 'You arti John Surratt, the person 1 have known in Mary? land." Ile acknowledged he was, and begged of me to keep the thing se? cret. After some conversation we spoke of the unfortunate afluir of the assassination of President Lincoln, and these were his words : 'Damn tin: Yankees, they have killed my mother. But I have done them as much harm as I could. We have killed Lincoln, the niggers' friend/ He then said, speaking of his mother: 'Had it not been for me and that coward, Weich? man, my mother would bc living now. lt was fear made him speak; had he kept his tongue, there was no danger for him. But if I ever return to America and meet him elsewhere, I shall kill him.' He then said he was in the secret service of the South, and Weichman, who was in some depart? ment there used to steal copies of the despatches and forward them to him ami thence to Richmond. Sneaking of the murder, he said they had acted under the orders of men who are not yet known, some of whom are still in New York and -thers in London. I I am aware that money is sent to him yet from London. When I left Can? ada, he said, I hud but little money, but I had a letter for a party in Lon? don. I was in disguise, with dyed hair and false beard; that party sent mo to a hotel, where he told me to remain till I would hear from him; after a few weeks he came and pro? posed to me to go to Spain, but I de? clined, and asked to go to Paris.' Ho gave him seventy pounds, with a letter of introduction to a party there, who sent him here to Rome, where he joined thc Zouaves. He says he can get money in Home at any time. I believe he is protected by the clergy, and that the murder was the result of a deep laid plot, not only against the life of President Lincoln, but against the existence of the republic, as we are aware that priesthood and royally are, aud always have been, opposed to liberty. That such men as Surratt, Booth, Weichman and others, should, of their own accord, plan and execute the infernal plot which resulted in the death of President Lincoln, is impos? sible. There are others behind the curtain who have to make these scoundrels act. I have also asked him if he knew Jefferson Davis. He said not, but that he had acted under instructions of persons under his im? mediate orders. Being asked if Jeff. Davis had anything to do with the assassination, he" said : T am not going to tell you.' My impression is that he brought the order from Rich? mond, as he was in the habit of going there weekly. He must have wis ed the others to do it, for when the event took place he told me he was in New York, prepared to fly as soon as tiie deed was done, tie says he does not regret what has taken place, and that he will visit New York i?? ,?. year or two, as there is a heavy ship? ping linn there who liad much to do witii tlie South, and he is surprised that they have not been suspected. This is tile exact ?ru?h of what I know about Surratt. .More I could not learn, being afraid to awaken his sus? picions, ami further I do not say." Dr. Ben. C. Fishburne, of George? town, has been appointed Surgeon General of this State, liv His Excel? lency Governor Orr, rice Di*. Robert W. Gibbes, deceased. A Fanciful Plot to Destroy Congress.^ The Cincinnati Commercial, of the 11th instant, gives th? following cir? cular addressed to each of the radical members of Congress, prior to leav? ing their homes for Washington, by a person in Chicago, named L. M. Smith. It is ono of the vagaries of the times, that is worthy of record only as an exhibition of folly and ex? travagance most apt to be indulged by persons laboring under a "sense of guilt: GENTLEMEN: I have recently come into possession of information, to the effect that a plot has been formed to destroy the lives of a sufficient num? ber o? Republicans to reduce them to a minority in Congress. Railroad ac? cidents, poisonings, &c, will be re sorted to as the moans to accomplish this result, and unless you are very careful they will succeed. My advice to each of you would be to start for Washington two or three days before the time announced, and go unob? served, and keep a sharp lookout after you get there, for still deeper plots arc in store for your destruction, and the overthrow of our Republican Government. I have the winde se? cret of their plottings, from the very commencement, and will reveal it all when the time arrives. Andrew Johnson is acting true to his consti? tuents, and has been playing the role of a modern Judas, from 1861 all the way down. There arc more traitors, however, besides him, engaged in thc present conspiracy. Tho business of Gen. McClellan in Europe, for the last two years, has been with the Topo and other high dignitaries of the Catholic Church, to form a coali? tion between the Catholics and Demo? crats, to re-instate thc Democratic party in power. You will recollect that a council of Catholic Bishops was held in Baltimore a few weeks ago, with closed doors, and their delibera? tions conducted in Latin; and you will also recollect that a very distin? guished American citizen (being no less a personage than tho President of the United States) made a living visit to Baltimore the last day this council sat, and was in secret session with them. This was barely mention? ed by thc papers, without comment, as nothing wrong was suspected; but as I had then received a part of my information. I well knew what "was i in the wind." If Andrew tho First (?) did not then and thcreput his sig? nature to a document guaranteeing the spiritual reign of the Pope upon this continent as a consideration foi their assistance in establishing and perpetuating his temporal power, then my information is of no ac? count. I know whereof I speak, and know that I am not deceived. I have at? tached this certificate, that you may know who and what I am. Please don't let this fall into impropei hands. CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 17, 1866. The Washing ton.'correspondent ol the Chicago Ti ines writes as follows Both Houses assembled at noon. and fairly commenced the work o'. legislation.

In the la lies gallery of the Senate there was quiti a large number of elegantly dressed ladies, but the feature that at onci struck the spectator on entering tin galleries of either House, was tin great number of negroes present There were certainly more negroe: than white people in the galleries o both Houses.

DAVIS, i AYe wore favored yesterday with a visit from that distinguished and j virtuous Prelate, Bishop Lynch, of I South Carolina, who left Mobile last evening for his Episcopal See, via Tuscaloosa, where he will finally part i from his brother, the Right Reverend j Bishop of Mobile. lu the course of hisinstructive and interesting conversation, we heard | from the lips of the venerable Prelate j himself the particulars of his parting , interview with His Holiness, Pope Pius IX, just about a year ugo, and 1 when it was feared that Bishop Lynch ? would be persecuted on his return to ! his native State, under the ridiculous ? charge of having visited Europe in i the capacity of a private agent of the \ Confederate States. His Holiness, after expressing (as | he had done before to the American i Envoy, Mr. King,) his anxiety abouti the future safety of the Bishop him- j self, then broke out in his most touch ing accents in behalf of His Excel- j hmcy ex-President Jefferson Davis, far whose exemption from persecu? tion he said that he was constantly offering up his prayers to tho Al? mighty, and then conclut?ed with these simple and touching words: "I hope, they will do nothing UGLY to him"-us if the imagination of the' good old man could not realize any? thing beyond "ugly" as threatening thc: illustrious State prisoner. How little could the Holy Father dream of the bloody projects and sanguinary designs of the radicals ! And thus, when the whole world, and alas ! perhaps even the South, seems to have forgotten the illustri? ous leader of an unsuccessful but (iver glorious revolution, when the princes of the earth, who were anxiously watching the capricious turns of the wheels of fortune, ready at the first favorable moment to ad? mit as au equal amongst the rulers of nations, the brilliant statesman whose genius was counterbalancing the armed millions of the North, when those princes have not this day a word of mercy to be spoken in his behalf, it is the poor, persecuted Bishop of Rome, threatened on every side by tho vile hordes of European radicals and perhaps on the eve of bidding au eternal adieu to the Eter? nal City, where St. Peter sealed with his blood his holy apostolate-it is that poor old man, one foot in exile j and the other in the grave, who utters J words of mercy for the fallen chief, i who to-day, like Christ expiating the I sins of man on the Calvary, is aton I ing with his fast declining life for the errors-no-the just aspirations of the South.-Ar. 0. Times. FENIANS ON THE RAMPAGE.-A meeting of tho Fenian leaders has ! been held in New York, at which cer j tain plans to aid in the contemplated I rising of Feniaus in Iralaud was dis ! cussed at considerable, length. The J most important feature in the plan of j assistance from this side of the water j is, the contemplated seizure of cer i tain European steamers, to convert ! them into privateers. It was sug 1 gested to get command of the Queen ; City, Baltimore and Scotia, belong j ing respectively to tho National, In I man and Cunard lines. This is pro 1 posed to be accomplished by intro? ducing the right men among the crews, sufficient inducements being I offered to thercrews which came over to leave the vessels, in order that their places may be supplied by pick? ed men from the Fenian organization. In conjunction with this part of the plan, all available passages on board the steamers are to betaken for mem? bers of tho Order, and all tho avail? able room allowed for freight to be used for arms and ammunition, to be introduced as the personal bag? gage of passengers. In order to pre? vent as far as possible the effusion of blood, it is proposed to seize the vessels at night, when tho opposition of the officers would likely be less ef? fective. When once under the control of tho Fenians, the vessels can easily be transformed into privateers, and would be exceedingly formidable, being swift, wcli provisioned and well supplied with arm.-. In case it is found impossible to make reprisals, the vessels arc to steam into port, under English colors, and disembark the passengers, with directions to join different circles now in progress in England and Ireland. Such isa brief outline of this daring movement. As to its ultimate con? summation, time alone can show. [ New York Mercury.
