C HAJ MB I A. " Sunday Morning. December 13. kb?S. Reception of thc Prr?idt nt'? MCMII ge In Congres?- Diicuurtcom Treat? mcnt of the Document tn both Ho VMS. Special despatches to the Now Herald, ?luted Washington, Decem? ber 9, aro as follows: Tho Presi? dent's message roached the Capitol to-day shortly heforo 1 P. M. It was flist presented in thc Senate, and 1 about ten minutes later was an? nounced in the House. It?reception in both branches wu?, to put it in tho mildest possible form, very ex? traordinary. Before it was half read, the fiery Conness, of California, ob? jected to listening to it any lougcr, and a very flat debato followed, leaving the auditory rather iu doubt as to whether the dignified Senate approved the course of the California Senator or condemned it. Whether or not a majority of the upper House sustained the extraordinary motion of Mr. Conness, the result amounted to a substantial victory for thc auti Johu8on element. "What they sought was to stop the reading of tho Presi? dent's annual communication and recommendations, and in this they certainly succeeded. Ono of the honorable Senators remarked that it was evident from the discussion that the session was destined to bo profit? less, and moved to adjourn, which was declared carried, aud the august assemblage dispersed, somo laughing as persons who had achieved a very clever feat, and others looking thoughtful and serious. Tho result was brought about in such an unusual manner, that no one present was sure whether any decided disrespect of the Executive was intended or not. A notable feature of the performance ? was supplied by Senator Drake, of Missouri. Drake, who, perhaps, is > as radical as Wendell Phillips him - self, and who has heretofore steadily planted himself foremost in tho front rank of President Johnson's oppo? nents, raised his voice agaiust the motion of Mr. Conness, and rather favored than otherwise hearing the entire message read. Senator Morteu interposed his objections, also, to such an aet of flagrant disrespect to the Executive of the nation, and in a most dispassioned tone endeavored to point out to tho Senuto reasons why so grent a departure from the oustom of the body should not bo upheld. Old Simon Cameron, how? ever, came to tho rescue of Mr. Con? ness, and perhaps it WUK the fear that the motion might be adopted, that led to so sudden and unexpected nu adjournment. This result leaves thc question in the condition of unfinish? ed business, which must como up first thing to-morrow morning, and be met fairly and square. In the House, though the rcadiug of the message was completed with? out interruption, tho disrespect waa even greater than that displayed by the Senate. During the reading by Mr. McPherson, the Clerk of the Honse, members employed them? selves in chatting and laughing, pay? ing about as much attention as if shown during discussions in Commit? tee of the Whole. When finally the last sentence had heen read by the Clerk, a scene, not paralleled even by that which occurred when Bout well made his famous impeachment speech that lcd to the subsequent ar? raignment and trial of President Johnson, followed. Washburne was apparently disposed to be moderate ' in his manouvres, bat tho course subsequently pursued by Broomall, of Pennsylvania, und Schenck, o' Ohio, swept Washburno's moderatior completely out of sight. Sehend was ferocious as a bull-dog, and mov? ed that no printing of the messag< whatever be authorized. Broomall mounted on the Clerk's desk, reae his vituperative preambles and reso Intions amid the jeers of Fernande Wood and tho rost of tho Democrats side, and tho scene altogether was o a character more worthy of a bar room on Water street than tho lowo House of Congress. The result o the whole thing was the half defea of Schenck, who attempted to pla; the part bf leader for the first timi siucu poor old Thad's takiug oft', ant who put on all the airs anel authorit; that pertain to that position Schenck had to yield to Washburne' compromise resolution iii rho end which providt?d that, instead of ne printing the message at all, the usuc number be printed, but no extr copies. Thus, though the anti-Jobc son feeling predominated and tr umphed, Schenck had to draw in lu horus and submit to bo over-ruled b Grant's month- piece and the Jae Rlnnf Eiffbv bf Californio Senator Yates will introduce, in few days, a bill to make suffrngo un versal, which, in conjunction wit bia bill ou naturalization, will fon thc most extraordinary inuovntio that has yet been attempted in tl direction of entrusting tho affairs < government to tho whole peopl without tiny distinction, save that < sex. Tho Seuator is ia the van t tho progressive spirits of tho da1 and ardently desires to seo the reai Kation of Jefferson's doctrino that t men uro orea I eel free and eqnal. B nica of citizenship is that it shon embrace every malo being on tl continent whosweara allegiance tu tl United States Government. Every foreigner, no matter from wheoco ho couiee, is to bo declared a citizen of the republic the moment he lands on these shores and takes the proscribed oath. His right to- vota according to length of residence is simply to bo regulated by State provision, as at present. He thinks the experiment should be tried, though it may lead to strango reBults. He is satisfied that no danger to onr free institutions need be apprehended from the measure. Ho proposes, ns there will always be & preponderance of intelli? gence in tho country, to correct the wayward exoessos of iguoranoe. He would not bo willing to commit tho control of tho Government to one or two huudred men ns enlightened even as Chsrlos Sumner, and believes that only iu tho representation of every element, whether wiso or ignorant, the true safety of representativo insti? tutions lies. His naturalization bill will do away with fraud, and givu tho honest foreigner tho sarao chanco that tho dishonest ono now enjoys. Thc Policy of the Democrutlc Party of tile State. Mn. EDITOR: Just at thia time, there is a good deul said as to tho policy of tho State. Gov. Scott, in his first message, deprecates any fur? ther political agitation. He repeats Grant, und says-Ictus havo peuce. In your editorial of yesterday, you express your gratification at some ovidence that you have observed of a disposition on the part of ourpeoplo to "abandon the excitements of po? litical contest," and you add tho re? mark, that "all necessity for tho agi? tation of political questions, aa furas wo of the South aro now concerned, was extinguished by thc Jato elec? tion." Allow me to suggest that it will not do for a stuuuch Southern journal to bo misled by such hura buggury ns that involved iu tho sen? timents to which I havo referred. Of course, every sensiblo mau ad? mits tho necessity of industrial deve? lopment at tho South and in this Statu; but it does not follow that political agencies and influences must be abandoned, lt.is very well for a successful party to pay, "Let us have no further agitation." it is very well for the present regime to cry out. "Let political excitement cease. " When a man or a party have accom? plished their object, of course their motto is "Lot us havo peace." Now, in the first place, there is no necessity for this suggestion that po? litical agitation should cease, inas? much as this State has had compara- I tively little of it. An election was coming no, involving momentous issues. The. people sought to make tb'j right, as each ono understood it, ? prevail. Tho election over, tho peo- , plo returned to their pursuits. Whoo thc occasion shall again arise, I hope tho same course will bo repeated. Parties exist. Let them continue to exist, and let God defend the right. In tho second place, let me say that it is idle for any ouc to expect politi? cal agitation to ceaso, so long as po? litical wrong exists. Tho Democratic party lives. It does not iutend to dio. It is not a factious party. It will yield a becoming obedienco to tho laws of tho land. It will sustain tho authorities in every measure looking to the interests of the State and of all classes of the people. Nor is the South Carolina Democracy Bourbonic. It will acknowledge the questions that havo been settled. It will meet its opponents on issues new, living, vital. In pence, it will sheathe its weapons of party warfare. But whenever tho party bnglo shall sound its notes, it will again rally its adhe? rents and seek to mako its causo tri? umphant. No ! This party cannot disband. There is work before it. So long as unworthy elements pro vail-so long as corruption runs riot -so long as the best interests of the State aro sacriliocd upon tho altar of imbecility and folly-the mission of the South Carolina Democracy will bo unfulfilled. It stands ready to re dcom tho Stato and aavo tho people Its triumph is decreed. Let us learn "to labor and to wait." HAMPDEN. THE RECENT DIFFICULTY IS TUE MAMON JAIII.-Tho Darlington De mocrat gives tho following summary or the difficulty in Marion: "Tho prisoners had managed to break tho doors to tho cells, and, armed with iron bars and brick-bats, held and defended the upper story of tho building.
