A VERY ANIMATED DEBATE took place in
the United States Senate. on Thursday last,
in relation to the Bill extending the clec'
tive franchise in the District of Columbia.
After several Republican Senators had ex"
pressed diverse opinions on the subject,
among others Mr.. Wilson, VINO quoted the
statute, which prescribes qualification OF
$3.50, saying that such clause intro
dnced into this bill would be start
in the right direction" Mr.. Sumner in
reply to Mr.. Wiley, Senator from West
Virginia, said
Mr.. Sumner-Slavery died hard both in
this chamber and on the battle field. We
have been compelled before to listen to
yndication of the slave code and the slave
hdnter on this floor, and to-day the exclu-
sion of colored persons from the franchise
has been advocated by the Senator from
West Virginia who was himself introduced
into this chamber by the influences Of free
dom, He rises here to-day to vindicate
slavery in one of its meanest productisn
Mr.. Wiley denied that he defended sla
very. When the Senator had liberated as
many slaves as he had, he could afford to
call him friendto the slave and not before
When the Senator gets his other bill thr'o
to allow negroes to testify in courts of JUS
tica, he could bring half dozen witnesses
TO testify that he was better friend OF
freedom ard emancipation than the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts.
Mr.. Sumner said the gentleman had the
cdious prejudice arising out of his former
connection With slavery still in him. The
head pl the beast had been cut off, but the
Senator still chung to the tail.
Mr.. Cowan (Rep.) of Pa, denied the
right of the Senator from Massachusetts to
denounce those who denied suffrage to ne
sroes as advocating slavery. Tue assump-
ton was idle, and only betokened ignor
ance and weakness. What an idea it was
that West Virginia should put herself at
the will of the Senator, in order to be in
the line of promotion. He thought the
Senator should have been called TO order
for his remarks He was certainly out OF
order among gentlemen. Mr.. Cowan PRO
Ct eded at length to argue against the bill,
and to maintain his amendment to it, men
tioning that Illinois had not only ioinsed
negro suffrage, but By ninety Thousand ma
iUrlty excluded them from the State altor
gcthcr. New York and Pennsylvania were
alike unanimous against the measure.
Mr. Sumner does not appear to have had
any reply ready to MIR. Cowan's manly re,

THr alleged proclamation of President

THE alleged proclamation OF President
Lincoln caused great deal of excitement
Yesterday. The despatch was received at
this Office about ii o'clock in the fore
noon, and, deeming it OF sufficient lmpor-
lance to warrant the issue Of an "extra," 1t
was Immediately put in type and printed
Its distribution elected much comment
from almost every person into whose hands
it fell. Some doubted its authenticity and
professed to find in it something which
looked improbable, while by far the greater
portion of our citizens thought it altogeth-
or impossible that any person could be
found wicked enough TO forge SO important
a document. and, hence. were inclined to
believe it genuine The denial, received
about 2 o'clock. lifted quite q burden from
the public mind and relieved many anxious
hearts.
1t seems to us that no punishment can DE
too severe for inhiction upon the scoundrel
who perpetrated the forgery. The people
have already suffered too much from the
circulation OF these bogus dispatches to
permit their repetition or suffer this most
fragrant outrage to pass unrebuhed. We
trust the offender may be speedily detected
aud brought to justice.

GRANT FEELiNG THE ENEMY.

On Thursday evening, after one Of the
bloody battles in the Wilderness" the
narrator was lying near large number of
wounded men, who were suffering from
shattered and amputated limbs, when some
one who came among them related con

the veterans of the Army of the Potomac
which diverted them momentarily from their
pain. Tue remark was made to the Gener
al that the fighting had been very severe,
when he remarked cooiv, that he chad ONLY

The poor fellows who were grooming loud

originality of the idea; and the reply APP,

They forget that our fathers elected General

that at least one man Of this character, was
also called the "6rst 10 the hearts of bis cOuu.

that because a man is qualified to marshal

men Therefore, while they are prating about
