EXPECTED DECISION ON THE TEST OATH.
There is reason TO believe that the United
States Supreme Court has decided the case of
Garland, involving the constitutionality of
the law of 1861, extending the test oath 10 the
LAWYERS practicing in the Federal courts, that
the law is unconstitutional. They will proba-
bly, pronounce the decision very soon. 1t was
TO have been delivered n fortnight ago, but in
the mean time 4 repeal of the law has been
proposed in the House by Mr. Stevens, of
PENNSYLVANIA and perhaps the Court awaits
the result of the action of the legislative
branch of the Government
THE RADICALS AND THE PRESIDENT.
leading and eminent Republican member,
who has had recent and frequent converse
tions with the President, declared yesterday
that the President and the Republican major
ity of Congress are i'll perfect accord on all
questions. How far this is true we shall know
in n few days. The unqualified negro suffrage
bill will pass the Senate. If the President
approve, as it is believed by many he will do,
the declaration OF the leader will be fully yeri-
fled in regard to every other question.
THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS UPON THB SUFFRAGE
QUESTION.
The National hteltigencer says that Mr..
I.atrobe had an interview with President
Johnson last week, in which, speaking of the
negroes the President declared that, what
ever might be his convictions in regard to
negro suffrage in the District of Columbia and
Tennessee, he was firmly opposed to forcing
such suffrage upon the States by national
legislation. The distinct impression was left
that he was not friendly to indiscrminate
negro suffrage in this District.

SPEAKER CoLFAx FAvoRs THE ADMISSION OF
THE TENNESSEE MEMBERs.-The Nashville Ban
aer of the 10th makes the following important
announcement:
eve understand, from authority which we
regard as perfectly reliable, that Governor
Brownlow received a letter on yesterday from
the Hon. Schuyler ColfaX, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, in reference TO the
admission of the Tennessee delegation. In
this epistle Mr.. Colfax declares that he is for
the admission of our representatives on the
ground that the State was organized during
the war and before the close of hostilities, and
also because it was the first State restored,
But this is an individual expression. Mr..
Colfax cannot vouch for the party, which may
fail TO sustain him in his opinion"

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, January y, 1866.
SRySTE.-The bill to enlarge the powers of
the Freedmen's Bureau was taken up, the
question being on the proposed amendment to
restrict the jurisdiction of the Bureau to the
late rebellious States.
Mr.. Wilson spoke in opposition to the amend
ment.
Mr.. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, contended that
1t should be adopted. He said that the Freed
mems Bureau could only exist by virtue of
war powers, and he was opposed to seeing loyal
States placed within its grasp. He said If the
Freedmen's Bureau must exist, its operations
ought to be confined TO the limits of the States
lately in rebellion.
The amendment was not adopted.
HorsE.-Mr Finch, of Ohio DemocraD
introduced 4 bill TO repeal the act prescribing
the test oath Referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary.
Mr.. Williams, OF Pennsylvania, Republi-
cam submitted a resolution asking for the trial
of the leaders in the so-called rebellion by
court-martial or military commission, and
asserting that it would answer no practical
purpose to have them tried by judicial tri-
bunal in the South, where their peers are
equal to the persons charged with the crime.
Mr.. Stevens, from the Committee on Recon-
struction, offered the following joint reso-
luton:
Resolved by the Senate and House Of Represea-
tntire8 Of the United States Of Alaerca in Congress
assembled, t,oO-dtirdS of both Houses cOncurfing,
That the following article be proposed to the
Leg islatures OF the several States as an
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, which, when adopted by three fourths
of the said Legislatures, shall be valid as part
of the Constitution
ARTICLE Representative and direct
taxes shall be apportioned among the several
States which may be i'll the Union according
TO their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each State eXclu-
sive of Indians not taxed, provided that
whenever the elective franchise shall be denied
or abridged in any State on account of race or
color, all persons of such race or color shall be
excluded from the basis of representation.
The same joint resolution was offered in the
Senate. Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey, one of
the members of the committee, made q speech
against the proposed amendment, contending
that it was contrary to the principles upon
which the Government is founded viz that
taxation and representation must 90 together.
Mr.. Conl1ng, of New York, also n member
of the committee, spoke in favor of the amend
ment. The vote viii be taken tomorrow.
The House adjourned.
