W.veniN-31'ON, January 28. -Among I number cf petitions pre; outed in tho , "nato, \7?.n ono for iv National Bureau Ld neat ion. Tho Military Committee reported a i forever prohibiting peonage. The President is directed l?? inform t S nato why thc Governor of Colorado absent from his po3t, why here, who p his expenses; and when and how often sent from his post. Tho samo inquiry ordered regarding other Territorial \ vernor.A and Indian A^cn'it. Thc judicial bill goes back to tho Ho; with amendments. It prescribes the i chi nor y of thc habr?s corpus, but exec from its operations military offenders tho.so tainted with rebellion prior to date of thc Act. In the House, Trimble, of Kentucky, traduced a hill repealing tho cotton* : .cigar tax; referred to tho Ways and Mei Committee. A bill to amend thc District franeh extending it regardless ot sex, was int duccd; referred to thc District Commit! An unsuccessful effort was made to li? the impeachment l<> n committee of scv on tho ground that tho Judiciary Co mn tee lacked limo. Th?

A bitter colloquy between Bi ham and .Stevens ensued. Tho Spea calle 1 s evens to order tor saying tm n it li "ii.-vc a word Bingham Haid. Tho w.MS referred tn tim Keci-.-truciion Ot mill by a vote o. S3 tu (6. Tho President has submitted his mc? sago returning tho Act admitting Colorado as a State. He says: "My duty prevent H my approval of tho" Act. With * the excep? tion of an additional clause, it is thc same vetoed in May last, which still waits iii the j Senate for reconsideration I am unable to perceive any reasons for changing my opinion. I see additional reasons conti)m ing thc wisdom of my former vt to. The additional section makes the bill more ob? jectionable. The Constitution of Colorado provides that the existing laws shall con I tinue. Among these is one absolut' ly pro ! hibiting negro suffrage. Thc recent Terr torial Legislature almost uuaniniou.-ly I refused its repeal, and, pending the pas? sage of the Act by Congress, tho Terri o i rial Legislature passed an Act denying I jury rights to negroes. The bs!', before mo grants rights denied by thc Legisla? ture and the Constitution of Colorado. This incongruity and protest, on thc part of tho people, against State government, clearly indicates tho impolicy and injus? tice of the proposed enactment. A sub? ject of serien - inquiry is whether tho en? actment is not an attempt to cxeicisi powers not conferred hythe Constitution.' The President submits evidence of the re? pugnance of tho people of Colorado to a tit ate government. The total population of Colorado is 27,909-only one-tin ? of that required ?'<?i Congressional representation, ile argues the injustice of allowing this small community ore Representative and two Senators. Such admissions of States was not practiced in carly days. Florida's admission, in 1843, resulted from sectional strife, which wc would dowell to regard as a warning of evil rattier than an example (or imitation, lie shows by statistics that other States, when admitted, had a popu? lation {entitling them to one or nearly to two representatives. Evcrv organized Territory, equally with Colorado, is entitled to admission. Logi? cal precedent admits Dacotah, Montana and idaho, when they present themselves, giving us Un new Senators and five Rep? resentatives, furnished by population scarcely entitled to one Representative. He argues that the enabling Act for Colo? rado was passed under false statistics, and tho deliberate decision of tho people against forming a State. Besides, tho bill is so framed as to make its execution im? possible, and he questions whether it is not, in itscif, a nulity. Ile argues at some length the incongruity of tiie Lui. ile concludes by saying that the admission oi another State will be regarded as an epoch in history marking thc progress ol tho nation, but he cannot see Coat the pro nosed proceeding accords with thc uni? form policy of the Government in tho ad? mission ol nev; States. THE NEGRO'S PARADISE.-The ne? groes and mean whites (radic?is) held a meeting in Washington city on Tuesday evening last, to organize a party, thus preparing for the next municipal elections, in which negroes will vote. The following officers, of colors . disgustingly mixed, were chosen : President, P. A. Boswell, (white:) vice-President, Henry O. Johnson, (colored;). Secretary, Dr. Wm. Boyd, (white:) Treasurer, George H. New? man, (colored.) On motion of Mr. Bacon, the of? ficers were authorized to appoint an executive committee, and they ap? pointed the following: John R. Pierce, 'white; Reuben Bacon, white; An? thony Bowen, colored; H. M. Knight, white; Win. Beckett, colored; .lames H. Hill, white; James Thompson, white; P. Hepburn, white; James M. Bowen, colored; S. S. Baker, white; Arthur Parnell, colored. And one of this executive commit? tee made the following speech : '.When white man ask you who yon gwine to vote for, say gwiae to voto for Yankee; he sot me free. Dimocrat make you believe he vote for Mr. Lincoln; then he git you in little rum shop, and make you vote for who he-please. The black men would carry Seventh Ward wid a per? fect tornado next June.

Then the Republican started, and weall took dat; but when our Moses made 22d February speech, and Republican went over, then had to gib that np, too. Told Mr. Mur? tagh so; told Mr. Pope so; and nov. dare ain't no black men takes it.

TIES.- Mr. Darling's Congressional Committee have fiuished their inves? tigations concerning tho distillery frauds in this city. It is said that they vere astounded by the develop? ments brought to light. If they dis? covered one-half of tho rascality in this branch of th.: revenue depart? ment, their amazement is not strange. Frauds upon the revenue have be? come so flagrant that they ure now a subject of general remark through? out the city, inspectors and others who commit them have become so emboldened by their success that they hardly thiuk it worth while to keep their operations secret. As au illustration upon this point, we have before us a letter from a correspond? ent, who states that an inspector in Williamsburg, with whom ho is inti? mately acquainted, has received $10,000 in "presents" from a certain distiller within the last six months. The guilty party in tin's ease is one of the sub-inspectors, whose duty it is to watch a particular distillery. This is only one case in a great nm;.v. We frequently receive letters of the same general nature, but less explicit than the one referred to. The Govern? ment is constantly being swindled on a most stupendous scale in the liquor trade, and there is reason to believe that the frauds in respect to cigars, tobacco and other highly-taxed arti? cles, are proportionately great. The whole revenue system .seems to be rotten to the core. It not only cheats the Government out of a large per ceutage of its income, but it bears oppressively upon people who ho? nestly pay their tases. If Congress would pay a little attention to recon? structing the revenue department, instead of consuming its time with crazy projects of impeachment, it might do the country some good. [New York Sun. - -- -?-?.*- > FROM WASHTNGTON.-A special to thc Baltimore Sun says: Mr. Stevens* North Carolina ca? bling Act coming up, that gentleman gave way to Mr. Raymond, of New York, who addressed the House at some length, opposing the bill, mainly because it did not provide foi a Government for the States inte? rested during tho interregnum bo tween the abolition of tho present organizations and the establishment of the new Governments. He pro claimed his earnest belief that, although thc President's policy mighi have been carried into effect beneli cially without opposition, it can ut longer be supposed by those desirous of promoting the good of the COUD try and safety of the Government Ile adv. :ated an enlargement of tin constitutional amendment, to providi for a greater centralization of powe in the Government, so as to m ak Congress exert its power for the mor perfect protection of thc rights o citizens. He announced his opinio' to be that the reconstruction questio: is ti matter outside of the Const i tr lion, and that' it cannot be .-ettie now under any constitutional regula lions, because that instrument wa not formed lo meet .suCh emergei eie-s. Mr. Shellabarger, of Ohio, followc with an elaborate rehearsal of til crime s of the rebellion, with w hich 1: charged the Southern States, ami oj !>oseel tho passage of the bill boca in its provisions are not broad enong to secure t'tie object desireel by tl radical Republicans. It was evident that the h.il, if passed at al!, would not recc-ive a tw thirds vote, and would bo killed ! the veto, which it would assured receive. For this reason. Mr. St vens announceilhis inti nlion to mo o lay it on tho table to-morrow.

Thc New York Herald, of Thursday, in an article on impeachment, says: Wall street is milking desperate ef? forts to get up an excitement on thc question of the impeachment of the President, with a view, no doubt, to cause a rise in gold and help along other speculations of infinite variety. If gold could be forced up to 200 - which is not at all likely-it would give great satisfaction lo a certain class of speculators, and they are jus) as willing that their object should IK accomplished by raising an alaru upou tho subject of thc President's impeachment as any other. For this purpose they are using the partj papers in various ways. These journals are busily engaged in pre dieting bloodshed, insurrection, : renewal of civil war, thunder ant lightning and all sorts of calamities if Cougross should exercise a consti tutional right in impeaching Mr Johnson. These articles of tin Tribune, Times, J'Jxpress, and o the party journals, may probably creab some alarm in the minds of a few in npcent people; but wc are not in tin least afraid that any danger to ou commercial prosperity is threatenci by the impeachment of the Presi dent, or that the stability of on Democratic institutions will be ii any way damaged by it, as the Eu ropean journals and party paj>ers a home stupidly infer. On the contra ry, it may be regarded as one of th greatest triumphs of the principle of our Government if Congress can in a strictly legal fashion, acting ii pursuance of the power granted to i by the Constitution, remove th Chief Magistrate from office-admit ting, of course, that it is done "fe cause," justly shown and proven, an upon charges preferred by the lowe House and finally adjudicated upo by the Senate: for by this metho alone can the removal be constitt tional effected. THE BOUTWEMJ Binn-THE NES STEP.-The Washington eorrespom eur of the Baltimore Gazelle says: If the Boutwcll bill should receh the sanction of two-thirds of bot Bouses, and the Supreme Cou should decide it to be unconstiti tional, and therefore refuse to con ply with its requirements, (which wi doubtless be tho case.) there can 1 now no longer a doubt but that Co: gress, at its next session, would r sort to impeachment of the judge simultaneously with a similar prece against the Executive. Tho nak< power of tho House to impeach, ai the Senate to try Executive and juc cial officers, is relied upon as anthon enough by the revolutionists to am kilato the balances of tho Constit tion, and usurp the whole power the country. - -? -> <^ >- -.
