American Intelligence. WASHINGTON, December 13.-Go1 Bnrd writes the President an eight-pag pamphlet. Bard cannot follow the Pres dent into the support of extremist Bard says: "I could not have know tbat Georgia was to be kept in a state < perpetual bondage, the prey of irrespoi sible demagogues, the associate in mis ry with South Carolina and Loaisian whose Governors-Scott and Warmout -form, with Bullock, a triumvirate i unmitigated political scoundrelism witl out precedent since the latter days of tl Roman Empire, and have cursed tl States over which they rule with plagu worse than the frogs and lice of Egyr. This is truth, and truth is eternal." The following responses were made McCreery in tho Senate: Edmunds said that, instead of boil wedded to institutions ot Virginia, Ge Lee was the ward of the nation. Th nation had fed, clothed und edncat bim; that be lived at the capital, b when the capital called upon him to c fend the flag under which ho had be boru, protected and honored, he dclibi ately turned his back upon it, and plai ed his cannon in sight of the capital had sworn to protect and defend. E he (Edmunds) would not dignify sucl proposition by discussing it. Gen. I was now dead. Tho only regret thought that any right-mi mied mau w believed in tho war would have, w that Gen. Leo had not died either in 1 youth or his patriotic manhood, or ev thut he had not died earlier than he t by the hand of tho law, which wot have atoned in soino measure for 1 crime. Trumbull, while disclaiming sympat with tho apparent object of tho reso tion, which was to surrender and mt late the last resting place of thousands Union dead, held that it would be, if i unprecedented, nt least unparliamenti to deny to a member a simple requ for leave to introduce any legislation i in itself insulting to the Senate. Carpenter inquired whether Truml could state a proposition moro flagran insulting to the Senate than that to move the slaughtered dead of tho Un army from Arlington for the purpose rel urning*}' ho farm to its robel possessc Trambull-replied that while the re iution was without doubt repugnant the sense of the nation, it was not i personal sense insulting to the Som He was averse to the adoption of i precedent, the effeot of whioh would to prevent the free exercise of a ri guaranteed to a member of tho Senatt Edmunds and Sumner cited two stances, the former tho case of tho \ posed annexation of Texas, tho la tho bill for tho repeal of tho Fugi Slave Act, whon requests for leave bring in bills wero refused. Five ai tional instances were enumerated by Vice-President. Morton protested against considi tion of the resolution. Ho had hi what ho never expected to hear, a oui upon tho character of Generul Lei the Sonute of tho United Statos, that, too, within sight of graves of tims of his rebellion. Hampden Sydney died not for human slavery, for liberty. This man, Goneral ] was of all others tho great sinner., had sinned against light.and knowle Iiis revolutionary ancestry, his oat fealty as au officer of tho United Sti his finished education and high nbili all forbade him thus to sin, and enormity of his crime could not bo ccaled by decorating bis grave flowers of rhetoric, in a word, it now proponed that thu Senate sh gravely consider a proposition to grcde "S? inenaories of the p?riotio dead of Arlington, . by romoyfug their bones to loss hallowed ground, in tender consideration of tho rights of the widow of the arch rebel of the moat wioked robollion iu history. ' Scott1 said, ' coupling together the names of Thomas and Leo recalled the utterance of Stephen A. Douglas, made at the time those two Generals rosolved ti> tread in opposite paths, that at that time there were but two classes in the nation-patriots anti irai lora. The. pa? tience with which the Senate of the TTnited States bad to-day listened to a eulogy upon the ohief conspirator in the attempt to tear down tho Government, was but another illustration of that unparalleled magnanimity and mercy which had characterized tho treatment by tho Government of those engaged in rebellion. Had the subject of that eu? logy .succeeded in his efforts, where would the American Sonate now ho sit? ting? By his triumph, slavery would have east its dark shadow nil over this land of freedom, from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf. To-day the doctrine of secession lies buried beneath tho bones of thousands, who fell that their blood might Beal tho oovonant of tho nation. Yet t?-day we behold tho spectaclo of u resurrectionist coming here to drag tho dead doctrine out from beneath the bones of the nation's martyrs. Willey characterized the resolution as most,insulting and shocking to tho souse of the Senate and tho country, and as abhorrent to humanity. Though per? sonally tenacious of the rights of indi? vidual members, he could not vote to receive it. Sawyer said the Arlington estate, like thousands of acres of property in the South, had boen forfeited-sold ut pub? lic salo for non-payment of taxes, and bought by tho United States. In the ubsence of any memorial from Mrs. Lee, he regarded the contemplated inquiry as utterly worthless, us the facts he had stated wero well known, and needed no verification. Saulsbury disapproved of 'that part of tho resolution looking to removal of the grnves from Arlington, but ho could not sec that the merits of tho causo in which General Leo was engaged were nt all in controversy. Ho regarded the qnestiou as ono simply of a Senator to exercise his right to introduce business. Nye said tho unseemly basto in certain quarters to restore traitors to favr could result in no good. The verdict o to-day and of posterity is, and will i , thal General Lee was a traitor. Flanagan, in some general remarks, spoke of General Lee as the great traitoi of tue age, whose influence had carrier into rebellion tho flower of Southert youth. Davis, tho other great traitor still lived, and in the light of recen: events, it was not unreasonablo to expec an early move to make him President. . Sumner desired that parliamentary law should bo administered upon th? present occasion with tho utmost rigor with a view to the most summary dispo sition of the resolution. He had no thing to say of General Lee, except tba his mime stood upon tho catalogue o those who had imbued their bauds ii their country's blood. He was conten to hand him over to tho avenging pen o history. Ho regarded tho resolution a indicative of the sentiments of tho polit ical associates of tho Senator from Ken tucky, as prefiguring tho policy the; would establish should they obtain power a policy which was to take tho old rebel lieu by tho hand and to install it in th high places of power. Could he muk his voice heard from Massachusetts t Louisiaua, it would be to warn his fe] low-countrymen, especially of tho Soutli against that combination which no showed its hand in the proposition of tb Senator from Keu tucky. He stated Un he was present when Secretary Stanto gavo tho order for the interment of th dead bodies of Union soldiers at Arliu( ton, and that Stanton stated ut the tim that his purposo in selecting the plac waa to forever prohibit tho re-iutermet of tho Lee family there; that if they di come, they might encounter tho ghosi of their victims. Ho quoted tho op taph above tho gravo of Shakspcan which ho now proposed to write abo> tho graves of every one of our putrii dead: "Good friend, for Jesus' sake, forbear To dig tho dust enclosed here. Blessed bo tho man that spares the: stones, And curst bo ho that moves my bones.' Mr. MeCroery stated that tho resol tion wus in no sense an embodiment i Democratic sentiment, but had been BU nutted upon his individual responsibili I without consultation with his colleague He then asked to withdraw the resol tion, which was rofusod, though final permission to introduce it was also r fused. NASHVILLE, December 13.-Thoro not a barrel of salt for sale in tho city. NEW YORK, December 14.-The /, raid's special, dated Havre, Decemb 10, says thero is great excitement ov tho reported mutiny in the fleet of tl sailors refusing to go to Cherbour Shots were fired, somo of which stru the forecastle of tho Shenandoah.

WAsiirNOTON, Deoomber 14.-In 1 House, resolutions of tho Board of Tra? for tho improvement of the Louisvi Canal, mouth of tho Mississippi, B prcTcntton of bridges Bbttfllotlte" ' ol ^nvlgatiou, wore pre?en tod. Resolutions for a World's Fair at Philadelphia, in 1876,?uro pending. In tho Senate, the Gommittee on Com? merce iras instructed to inquire as to the expediency of a ship oaual connecting the Mississippi with the Gulf of Mexico. Tho Senate was eugaged all day in discussing a charity fund for the Go? vernment employees, and compensation to a Kentucky Federal soldier, for pro? perty destroyed during tho war. Tho Senate Judiciary Gommittee have made a unanimous report that Indians aro not citizens of the United States under the fourteenth amondmont to the Constitution of tho United States, tho treaties and laws having always regarded thom as independent nations, and not interfered with in their local administra? tions. The Hotise considered a bill for full and general grace, amnesty and oblivion of all wrongful acts, doings or omissions of all persons on gaged in tho war of the late rebellion. The exceptions aro ns follows: Those educated at West Poiut or Annapolis, members of either House of tho Federal or Confederate Congress, heads of Federal executive departments, Ministers abroad, Judges of Federal Courts, and those holding similar offices in the Confederate Government, mem? bers of conventions who votod for or signed ordinances of secession, Govern? ors of States which were in rebellion, Confederates who treated cruelly, or otherwise than according to tho usages of war, Fcdoral prisoners, persons en? trusted with funds which they havo not accounted for, all deserters and bounty jumpers. The property exceptions are as follows: All property wherein the United States or third parties have be? come vested by sale, forfeiture or confis? cation, and lauds used now or heretofore for Federal cemeteries, every right of notion and liability arising under nny ordinance, law or contract in aid of thc rebellion-and every such right shall be deonied invalid. Butler reported the bill, and, in ex? planation, said I hat it was drawn, mu? tatis mutandis, from the amnesty bill pnssed by tho English Parliament after the Scotch rebellion of 1715. Lawrence asked how many persons the bill would relieve. Butler replied that it prevented legal trouble or vexation. It would relieve every mau who held the office of post master, sheriff or constable, before tin war, and had taken tho oath to supporl the Constitution. As to tho except?e classes, all that they had to do was tx come to Congress hereafter, nod petitiot for u removal ol their disabilities. Beck offered a substitute for the bill as follows: That all persons, other timi those hereinafter excepted, now diequal i tied to hold office, by the third sectioi cf the fourteenth article of amendmen to the Constitution of tho United States aro liproby relieved from such disnbili ties, and tho same is hereby removei from and after tho passage of this Act except from the following classes of per sons: 1st. Whoever, having been edit outed at tho military academy at Wes Point or tho naval school at Annapolis shall have engaged in the rebellion am insurrection against tho United Statu? or given aid and comfort to the onemie thereof. 2d. Whoever, having boen member of either House of Congress < tho United States, shall have eugaged i rebellion ngaiu.st the same, or given ni and. comfort to tho enemies thereof. 3r Whoever shall have held the office c head of one of the executive depnr melita of tho Government of the Unite Stales, or Minister Plenipotentiary, c Minister Resident, or Judge of any Com under the United States, and shall hav engaged in rebellion or insturectio agaiust tho same, or given aid and con fort to tho enemies thereof. Farnsworth offered a substitute for tl whole bill, as follows: That all politic disabilities imposed by tho third seetio of tho fourteenth amendment of tl Constitution aro hereby removed. Bingham moved a substituto for tl ?rst section, removing all political dis bilities from all persons except such r were Senators or Repr?sentatives in Coi gross iu tho years 1S150 and 1801, or wei in either of such yours officers in tl army or navy of the United States, hem of departments, United States Judg and United States Ministers, and exce] all who, iu violation of that amendmen have held office since the 1st of Jun 1870. Butler anuouueed his purpose to ha the vote taken on the bill ut 3 o'cloc to-morrow. Beck opposed the bill, no hop* that the House would adopt tho subs tute offered by Mr. Farnsworth; but not, then he hoped that his own subs toto would bo agreed to. Ho said it w a bill of pains and penalties, mukii odious discriminations. Ho had nev seen a bill that was farther from carr icg out tho objects whioh it professed carry out. I? was a bill adding insult injury. He believed that the Republic party and tho Republican press desire have general amnesty extended. 1 thought that that party had lost Stn after State by Congress refusing to pi such a bill; that it would continuo lose State after State so long as Congn maintained that position. Potter advocated tho adoption Farnsworth's substitute. He beliov that that proposition would bo found bo not only tho most gonei otis, but t most patriotic and wisest. At the conclusion of Potter's remar! the bill then went over till to-morrow. Dawes, from tho Appropriation Co mittee, reported tho legislative, judie ane executive appropriation bill; whi was made tho special order for Tuesd next. It appropriates about $20,000,01 Congressman Bowen gavo $5,000 b to answer the charge of bigamy. Bow asks an early trial. There is before the Supreme Court the United States a oaso from tho Sou ern District of New York which iuvob tho right of mercantile agencies to c leot and communicate to their' merchant subscribers information concerning the flnanoinl condition and character of mer? chants throughout the country as privi? leged communications; and farther in? volves the question whether such mer? cantile agencias, na hitherto oonducted in this country, shall longer exist.
