ADMISSION OF SOUTHERN MEMBERS

The proceedings in Congress this morning
Were quite interesting. Hon. Henry ]. Ray.
mond, Of New York, presented the credentials
OF the Tennessee congressman, and moved their
reference to the Select Committee of Fifteen
authorized by Mr.. Stevens resolution. This
gave rise to considerable debate, the democratic
side of the House claiming that the delegation
had been elected in a constitutional manner
and that their credentials should take the reg
ular course, and be referred to the Committee
on Elections. Reference was finally made to
the Select Committee by vote Of 126 to Al.
MIR. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, then offered
resolution declaring in substance that no OBJ.
stacle should be raised to prevent the States
late in rebellion from being legally represented
In Congress. The call for the previous ques.
ton on this was lost by yeas IS, nays 1Os. FL
nally Mr.. Stevens, Of Pennsylvania, offered
resolution which was adopted, inviting the
members of the Tennessee delegation as pri.
yate individuals to the floor of the House.
In the Senate there was a spirited discussion
between Senators Anthony, of Rhode Island,
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, and Fessenden, Of
Maine, on the Stevens resolutions, the tenor
of which indicates doubtful success for the
proposed measures. 1t is not expected that
the resolutions will be acted on by the Senate
immediately, and it appears quite probable
that the debate will result in important modi.

INDIAN RAyAGEs THREATENED

The special Indian Agent for New Mexico,
writing to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
from Fort Larned, says that he met Little
Robe, Of the Cheyennes, with q party Of his
braves, at that post. The chief and his party
acknowledged their allegiance to the United
States, and expressed themselves as determined
to rigidly observe the late treaty made with
their tribe. They were fearful, however, of
being served, at some future time, as Colonel
Chiyington treated portion of their lumber at
Sand Creek. This unfortunate occurrence
seems TO be firmly imprinted on their men,
cries, and they approach United States gar
risons with evident distrust, sending flags
of truce in advance of their parties
They say that the Indians committing
rayages on the Smoky Hill route are
" Dog Indians " - outcastS from the tribes
of Arapahoes, Cheyennes and Sioux, who have
the same Unsuitable hatred OF the whites, and
are as inhuman in their deeds as was Inkpa-
dutah and his band at Spirit Lake. They ex-
press their Willingness to Join with the United
States in crushing out this band Of maraudsrs,
and say that they cannot be conquered, but
must be exterminated. They believe that the
next scene Of bloodshed will be on this route,
between Fort Dodge and Fort Larned. The
band numbers in the neighborhood of 2,OO0 all
told, were last seen about thirty miles north of
this post, and were moving southwark.
The agent had several interviews with Col.
Kit Carson, who confirmed the reports of Little
Robe, and gave it as his opinion that from
Smoky Hill the band would go to the Null.

CHOLERA ABATING,

The State Department has received a very
able communication from Mr.. Alex. W. Thay.
er, U. s. Consul at Trieste, dated November
-, 1865, in which he states that the position of
the cholera question at that place is indicated
by the proceedings of the Central Sanitary
Commission OF Trieste, where, at meeting
held on the Odd of October a decree Of the
Stakeholder was read, in which was commu-
nicated an order from the Ministry at Vienna
declaring the epidemic cholera to have appeared
in Trieste, and commanding the city authorities
to enforce the legal regulations provided tor
such cases.
The city physician, who was ordered to
report upon the subject, declared that he could
not pronounce the sickness to be epidemic in
its form, since In twenty -four days only thirty
one cases had occurred, in a population of
los, coo souls. The commission voted to report
il as their unanimous opinion that the disease
did not exist in an epidemic form Mr. Thayer
states that since the 23d of October, although
the number of cases have increased, they do
not average three per day, and that no fears
need be entertained that the cholera will be
introduced into the United States from Trieste
