? Washington, January 7.?Blount, of
Georgia, made an effectual speech
against the j Civil Bights .bill. He
argued-that the Supreme Court hud de?
cided Agaiust Us constitutionality in the
slaughter house case. He .said there
was no necessity for its passage. The
of Georgia had made ample provision
for the enforcement of all rights to
which the colored ruca were entitled.
He predicted.misobievoua results to tho
colored people; said the bill would en?
gender hostilities between the two races,
itnd result in denying to the negro tbe
educational facilities now provided by
law. Es appeals to the Republicans
not to. impose this monstrous measure
upon' the South. His speech was
manly and dignified, and was highly
complimeuted.

Department op Jurtiob,
Washington, January 7, 1874.
To ilia President?Sib: You were kind
enough, without my solicitation, or any
knowledge on my part that you contem?
plated such a thing, to nominate me for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States.. Since that time, the
flood-gates of calumny in all directions
have been opened npon mo, my abili?
ties been disparaged and my integrity
brought iu question, and it seems to me
that a public opinion adverse to my ap?
pointment bus been created which
might hereafter embarrass your admi?
nistration and perhaps impair my use?
fulness upon tbe bench. With a perfect
consciousness that t have performed
with clean bauds and an upright pur?
pose all the duties of tbe various publio
places to which I have been called, and
trusting to time hud a jast publio when
better informed for my vindication, I
respectfully ask you to withdraw from
the Senate my nomination for Chief
Justice. I have the honor to be, with
i great respect,

Washington. January 9.?Tho re?
ceipts from customs are so variable as
to afford no data ut present ou which to
base hopeful calculations ooncerning
the future. It is, however, supposed at
the Treasury Department, that in ubont
tep days, the receipts will be more
uniform. The Commissioner of In?
ternal Revenue is much encooruged by
tbe receipts of his bureau. So far, for
this month, they are $3,000,000, aud the
prospect is they will soou be restored to
what they were before the late panic;
thus fulfilling bis calculation of 3100,
000,000 annually. Several of tbe mem?
bers of the Appropriation Committee
think the estimates will bo cut dowu
about $10.000,000, but that this will
not bo suffioient to bring the expendi?
tures of the Government within ih?
receipts from all sources for tbe next
fiscal year. Therefore, some measure of
treasury relief will be necessary. As to
what thin shall be, there is at present
no indication. Purties, however, will
not act hastily on the subject.
The names of several gentlemen are
publicly mentioned in conueotiou with
the Chief Justiceship, including those
of Senators Morton aud Howe?the
