By Tele?rapli, Congressional. WASHINGTON, March 2.-The in- j demnity bill was passed, and goos to j the President. Amongst other pro- i visions, it forbids all Civil Courts, ! State, Federal or Territorial, from entertaining prosecutions against in? dividuals for acts done under procla? mations or military orders. WASHINGTON, March 4.-The House proceeded to the election of officers. The Republicans nominated Colfax ! for Speaker. v?"ho received 127 votes. Tho Democrats nominated S. S. Mar- j shall, -who received thirty votes. Brooks referred to the fact tb.it seven teen States were nnreprebented, of which seven were among the original j thirteen. He 'presented the protest of the Democrats against further proceedings. The Clerk refused to receive the protest. Colfax resumed his seat, and member; were sworn in. i Colfax announced that the President ! had signed, within the legal time, ali j the bills passed within ten days, ox cept that appropriating ?50,O0? for the Paris Exposition, which is not engrossed. A prolest accompanied the army appropriation bill to thc following effect: There are provisions iu the Act to which attention must be called. The second section con? tains provisions virtually, in certain cases, depriving the President of lii^s constitutional functions as Com? mander-in-Chief of the army. The sixth section denies certain States their constitutional right to protect themselves by means of their own militia. These provisions are out of place in the appropriation bill. It would compel the defeat of necessary appropriations if the President with? held his signature, and ho signed it with a protest against the provisions named. Rules of last House adopt? ed, except during this week it shall be in order to suspend them. It is not probable that the Presi? dent will send a formal message to Congress to-morrow. It will be very brief. There is considerable excitement about misapprehensions regarding signing of bills. The bankrupt bill is a law. Vms Hems. NEW YOKE, March 4.-The Herold's Mexican correspondence says Mira mon recently stated that Hindman is corresponding with the Imperialists, with the hope that the empire and confederacy might so work together ; as to make both successful. Havana advices to the 27th ultimo confirm the reported defeat of Gen. Crapo and his death at Maracaibo. The troubles in Coraibabo are about to be adjusted. The expedition to sound for the proposed submarine telegraph cable, which started from Havana on the 22d ultimo, had re? turned, with a satisfactory report. The small pox continued to abate at Mantanzas. WASHINGTON, March 4.-All great appropriations, except deficiency, passed. The latter includes the pay ot Southern treasury agents, over which there will be a big fight. The military appropriation, involving the disbandment of Southern militia and placing the General commanding the army in a great measure independent of the President and the War De? partment, is not yet vetoed or signed. The bankrupt deficiency is among the appropriations waiting the Pre? sident's signature, and therefore faded to become a law. The Clerk is now organizing the new Congress. AUGUSTA, March 4.-Meetings are called to consider Brown's recom? mendation. Opinion is divided. The press is agitating the subject-three or four papers favor the recommend.", tion, while a majority strongly op? pose it. Anxiety is very great. ATLANTA, March i. -A large public meeting has been held to consider the condition of the country. Reso? lutions approving Sherman's bill aud the course recommended by Gov. Brown were rejected. The meeting then divided. The minority hold a meeting to-night. The majority re? organized, and passed resolutions counseling quiet submission, charac? terizing the bill harsh and unjust, approving the noble course of Presi- i dent Johnson, that the Southern peo? ple should not barter their manhood and honor hy accepting the terms the bill recommend, and that the South? ern Governors should take steps to test the constitutionality of the bill.

Wc (Iceni it our duty to again ad? monish tho people of Virginia that they have nothing, either ot* speedy or of permanent relief, to hope for from the Supreme Court. Long before that tribunal can in? terpose to protect us. negro suffrage, sustained by the bayonet, will hove been forced upon ns. In this city, in the month of April next, and in the State at large, in May, the atro? cious bill of Sherman requires tho military to protect thc negro at the ballot box. Twice, then, before we can hope for relief, tins outrage will have boen perpetrated in Virginia, unless the military officer, whose will is the law, may consent to postp me the city ?iud State elections. The utter contempt with which the rece?? decisions ol' the Supreme Court lnive boen treated, show how power? less that august body is when it op? poses reason to the mad passions of the mob. Congress and the subordi? nate Federal Judiciary delight, in a hundred ways, to express their con? tempt of the five conservative judges of that elevated tribunal. Unless the people of the South can hopi; to select a successor to Presi? dent Johnson as conservative as that eminent patriot, any relief which they may hope for from the Supreme Court would be of very little practi? cal and of no permanent value, lt will be competent for the next Pre? sident and Congress, neting in con? junction, to so frame and change the Supreme Court as to saturate that body with the radicalism of Congress. It has been forcibly said that, so far as the?Supreme Court is concerned, the present conservative advantage in that court is held by the slender thread of a single life. There are Jiv conservative and four radical judges. And of the conservative judges, it is doubtful whether one will ever take his seat again, and almost certain thal he Vi ill not live twelve months. "Thc loss of one conservative judge will make a tie, and no law can be d?clar?e unconstitutional but by a clear ma jority. President Johnson cannot re place a conservative judge by nev appointment, because Congress, at it: last session, passed a law reducing the number of judges to seven, for bidding auy new appointment until by the occurrence of vacancies, tba limit is reached." The conservativ judges are the old and most feebl members of the court, and will pro bably be the first to die. "When the constitutionality of th Sherman law is tested, our succ?s depeuds upon the frail tenure of life, which no one believes will las six months. Under the most favor able circumstances, eminent priicti tioners in the Supreme Court infori us that a decision of the Suprem Court cannot be expected before th winter of the present year or th spring of 186F. In less than three months, th Sherman law will have iuflicted th insult of negro suffrage twice upo the people of Richmond, even if w are the creatures of a military despo ism, and no convention is called. If the Supreme Court, twelv months hence, shall declare the Shei mau law unconstitutional, that dec sion does not restore us to represei tation in Congress. Not a bit of i It will simply threw us back into tl clutches of the Fortieth Congress Congress forty times more malignai and merciless than that which is no in the articles of death. In thc ne: Congress, the radicals have a clei majority in the House of Represent: tives of 127. THE WHITE AND BLACK POPULATII OE VIRGINIA.-Tho Charlottesvil Chronicle, in an article discussing length the Shermau-Shellabarger bi] makes a statement that we appreher will take most of our readers by sn prise. It is as follows: In more than one-half of thc Cou; ties in Virginia, thc negroes ou number the whites. They cur. cor maud thc Legislature. Tho majori of the Legislature, under the She man bill, may be negroes. Allowii for the influence of property and i telligence, a number of the membe of the Legislature may be uegrot lu Nottoway County,, by the cens of 1800, there were 2,270 whites ai 0,500 blacks? and mulattoes. The are three colored persons to one whi person. They (unless negroes are t eluded from office) may, with ea? control the County. They may eic a black member of the House of E legates, a black Attorney for the Coi monwealth, a black Sheriff, bia Commissioners of the Revenue, bia constables and the tuitire magistra of the County may be black or yodo The Chronicle then shows that nea: all the Counties have a majority blacks. -< ? ? > WHAT MR. VOORHEES IS DOING THE SOOTH.-In the Senate, Thu day, Mr. Hendricks said Mr. Vo bees had been engaged as the ag? of the Western distillers to secure honest execution of the revenue lai and to devise moans for putting stop to the abuses under which liqi was sold for less money than t amount of the tax imposed upon lt was on this business that he t voled in tho South recently. He x in no way employed by thc Treas i Department. Feathers and feather bands \ continue fashionable for some ti to come. Tho spring bonuets v either be very flat or the "Bolivi shape-high np in the air, like c scuttles, ?md flat behind. So say: Paris correspondent. A ?'i?!isr::i ?":i!v.!!U:??e for Gutviu?r ill TVnncssc*'. Tho Tennessee papers aro publish? ing the following letter from a co? li ?red brother: JACKSON, TENN., Feb. 12, lSiTT. 7o dor. Brownlow. Sn:: i learn that you and the lower House of your Legislature have passed a law to allow the colored people of this State to vote. So far, so good. But, sir, you have, at thc sana- time, provided in the law that they shall not hol?l office! Now. what does such legislation mean? 1 am a colored man, and have wool on my head, but you and your white trash can't pull that wool over my ? eyes. The darkies in Tennessee gene- | rally will understand what you ave i after, and will put their broad, feet \ down upon you. This act reminds mc of the casi; where a whit? man and an Indian went hunting. They killed a turkey and a buzzard, and when they came to divide, the white man, to satisfy the Indian that he would do the fair tiling, made this proposition: "I'll take the turkey, and you may take tho buzzaid; or you may take thc buzzard, and I'll take the turkey.'' The Indian hung his head for awhile; then, looking up, said to his sharp companion: "Every time turkey for white man and buzzard for Indian." O, yes, you want US togo roting with you, but every time office for white man and vote for nigger. I learn, further, that the bill has been sent to the Senate, where it is to be hoped the restriction against my people will be wiped out. In that event, and at the warm solicita? tion of my friends, I hereby an? nounce myself a candidate for Go? vernor. I expect you to be my competitor, and I propose to open the canvass at an early day, and will join yea in a list of appointments from Carter to Shelby. I propose to conduct the canvass like a statesman, but notify you, in advance, that 1 will hold you personally responsible for any insult you may offer. I shall take along your debate with my friend, Mr. Pryne, and shall prove from that that you have been a greater persecutor of my race in Ten? nessee than any other man, and charge that your present conduct is oue purely of selfishness. It will not be amiss to say here that 1 am in favor of "equal justice to all the people of the State"-that I am in favor of relieving thc colored I people of the State from paying taxes for three years and from paying taxes for vacant lands in the State, by paying surveyor's fees-that I am the friend of all religious denomina? tions-that I am friendly to all the secret orders of the State, but only belong to the "Order of the Lone Star." I have held the constitution of that order in my hands and sworn to support it. But more of my princi? ples hereafter. When I get you on the stump, you will learn who I am and what I am. Respectfully, your fellow-equal, etc., * MATT. DYER. WHY SHOULD WE OF THE SOUTH COMPLAIN?-Thn asks an exchange, and continues: New England, by nature, cold, rugged, rocky and bar? ren, is of necessity a manufacturing and commercial country. The South has been agricultural, producing those great staples, cotton, tobacco and rice, which constituted the basis of the manufacturing and commercial inte? rests of the United States. Our wealth consisted chiefly in the means of producing these, and it has been swept away by fanaticism. Let the production of cotton and tobacco, beyond what we need for home con? sumption, go with it. Let us build upon a new foundation, make all our own supplies, rear up manufactories of cotton, iron, the implements of agriculture, and everything else need? ful to the prosperity and happiness of society. Let New England get her cotton where best she can, and if her spindles and her commerce must stop, she will beareaping as she sowed. We have the climate and the soil, the water-power and the mines necessary to constitute us a great and inde? pendent people. With all the school? ing received during the Confederacy, in arts and manufactures, we are al? ready looking back to the flesh-pots of Egypt, and trying, by the most uncertain and dearest kind of labor, to make cotton to buy Yankee plows, hoes, axes, brooms, etc., instead of making all these at home. Poor South! how long will she cling to wooden hams and nutmegs? CLAIMS OF REBEL ASSESSORS.-By a vote of to 13, the following was passed in the Senate on Thursday: "That the Secretary of the Trea? sury is hereby authorized to pay to such persons as were actually em? ployed in the collection ol' internal revenue in the rebel States prior to the 1st day of August, ING?, compen? sation ut the rate prescribed by iaw, and an amount sufficient for that pur? pose is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not other? wise apiiropriated. " MILITARY AID INVOKED nv TENNES? SEE.-A despatch from Nashville, dated February 28, says the Legisla? ture adopted a resolution cadiug on the Federal Government, through Gen. Thomas, for a sufficient military force to keep the peaco and restore order and Quiet in tho State. The preamble alleges that in several Coun? ties violence prevails over civil law, and riot and murder go unpunished. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?-A report j was prevalent in this city, yesterday, says the Columbus Enquirer, of the 25th ultimo, that the United States Marshal had a list of all the ?20,000 men in Muscog?e County, and that proceedings would soon be com? menced for the confiscation of their property. lt is believed, however, that the Government has directed no such mensures, und that the report is really the part of a plot to inveigle men into a party organization. At least, occurrences in other parts of the State warrant such a conclusion. lt is said that such reports in thc Counties in the upper part ol' thc State have been followed by the insi? dious suggestion, made to the parties interested, that there was a way to save their property, and it was by joiuiuga "Loyal League" association! Of course, the idea of escape from any justly-incurred penalty by such a course is ridiculous. Noconrt would entertain such a plea for a moment, and the mover of such a provision, as a legal measure, would lui over? whelmed with ridicule and contempt. If any man has forfeited to the Go? vernment his property, it is, by his conduct, now past and irreclaimable. Oaths of future fidelity to the Go? vernment may be required of him, hut no party association can absolve him. Harsh aud unforgiving as the pre sent temper of the party dominant in the country seems to be, we do not believe it has yet resolved to com? mence the work of confiscation. CONSTITUTIONAL CONTRADICTIONS. - The National Republican shows the conflict between the Congressional military bill and thc Constitutional amendment. In the amendment, the question of suffrage is left to the States; but in the military bill, pro? vides for universal and unqualified suffrage. There are other inconsis tences as glaring, and, as the Repub? lican says: "The assumption of the majority party in Congress is that the adoption of the Constitutional amend? ment by twenty States will be suffi? cient to make it a part of the Consti? tution. That being the case, would it not be well for Congress to stop long enough to consider how much of its own Constitution it luis already violated in the present military recon? struction law?"
