MR.. RAYMoND.-The debut made by Mr.
Henry j. Raymond in the House debate OF
yesterday established him at once as one of the
most accomplished, fertile and self.possessed
debaters the House has ever had Taking con.
servative ground in support of the Presidents
policy, he naturally drew upon himself the
sharp assaults of the opponents of that policy,
and these assaults and Interruptions were car.
ried to an extent that showed how important
his assailants felt il to be to break him down.
-<---. '~.st h-sak. down bic .sgument.
That they utterly failed, and that every inter-
ruption seemed only to enable the speaker to
press his argument more convncingly, is the
highest proof possible of Mr.. Raymond's abiIi
ties in his new field.
The speech Of Mr.. Raymond was In reply to
that of Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens on Monday last.
The point Of Mr.. Raymond's argument was,
that the rebel ordinances Of secession were
nothing more than SO many expressions of a
purpose to 60 out Of the Union, and to break
up the Government, which did not succeed, and
that the States lately In revolt are therefore
still in the Union. One point urged most con-
clusively by Mr.. Raymond was that If seces.
sion was a success, if the Southern States
were really out of the Union, and became a
foreign power, as Mr.. Stevens claims then
their debt becomes valid, and the United States
succeeds to the privilege Of paying it.

TH1 TEACHERS INSTITUTE, comprising al

week, series of very interesting meetings
Prof. Bailey, of ale College, has been favor.
ing them, at the request of the trustees, with
lectures and instruction in his method OF
teaching that most valuable and most neglected
art OF reading our language with purity and
elegance. The Professor is himself an accom-
plished artist, and his illustrations Were as
deHghful as they were instructive. They
were In the highest degree successful, and the
appreciation Of the teachers was shown by
unanimous approval of a series of resolutions
proposed by Mr.. John T.. Thompson, of Gram.

The resolutions warmly Endorsed the methods
OF training presented by Prof b., and expressed
the thanks OF the association to Mr. Jos O.
Wilson and other members Of the School Board
for securing Prof Bafley's services
This evening, Prof. Bailey will, at the re-
quest OF the trustees, give, at Wesley Chapel,
public reading of selections from Shakespeare

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

We congratulate the citizens OF Washington
on the result Of the election yesterday. With
dignity and in perfectly orderly manner they
with almost entire unanimity recorded their
votes adversely to negro suffrage in this Dis
;rict The insolent attempts in certain quar-
ters to discourage the citizens from making
such protest against the measure utterly failed,
and the vote Is the heaviest known for years,
and from what we hear and know of our own
knowledge it embraced 30 universally the vote
OF all parties that 1t may be set down as the
voice OF the people OF Washington without
distinction of party.
At every polling place the best known and
most decided Republicans IN the city voted an
open ticket against negro suffrage, thus pro-
claiming that, like their fellow Republicans in
Connecticut, Indiana, Wisconsin. Iowa, and
elsewhere, while willing TO grant the negro
every right due him before the law, they are
not prepared to make a farce of the right of
suffrage, by giving il to an ignorant mass Of
negroes, who know no more how to exercise
1t than the cattle OF the field they so lately
herded with.
The citizens OF Washington have now done
all that lays in their power to do. Through
the polls they have entered an earnest. en-
phatic, but entirely respectful protest against
having this great evil of negro suffrage visited
upon them. They must now await the action
OF Congress, trusting in the justice of that body
not 10 infiiet upon this District the evils that
they have repudiated with such emphasis at
home In their respective States.

NO AsIATIC CHOLERA AT SOUTHAMPTON

NO ASIATIC CHOLERA AT SOUTHAMPTON.
The State Department has received a COM
mnnication from Mr.. John Britton, our Consul
at Southampton, England, dated Dec /, 1865,
stating that, having seen in New York papers
an account of the existence Of cholera at that
place, he desired to say that although there
had been few cases of English cholera, re.
sulting from the too free use Of bad fruit and
vegetables, there had not been q single case of
Asiatic cholera in the town. The London
Times, he thinks, with its usual fertile imap.
nation, was the primary cause of those re.
portS.
