duced and referred, forbidding any agent col

officers of colored troops for services between
their appointment and muster-in. Mr. Summer
presented petition from citizens OF the District
for equal laws. Mr. Doolittlo presented the
credentials of William Marvin, claiming to

a eulogy upon him. Mr.. Sumner replied by
showing that Florida is still dsloyal, and the
credentials of Mr.. Marvin were laid on the
table. The bill to enlarge the powers of the
Freedmens Bureau was debated by Messrs.
Hendricks, Trumbull and Salisbury. The
amendment, limiting the titles of the freedmen
under Gen. Sherman order to three years, was
adopted, and the Senate adjourned.
In the House. q communication was received
from the Secretary Of the Treasury concerning
the decrease of our mercantile marine. Bills
wereintroduced regulating POstmasters salaries,
securing certain privileges under treaty to
African citizens, and to prevent smuggling: and
a bill paying c. F. Anderson $4,000 for serv-
ices on the Capitol extension was passed.
Resolutions were adopted to inquire into the
expedicncy of exempting fat-boats not common
carriers on Western water from tUnnage taxes;
inStructing the Committee on Indian Affairs to

apportionment Of currency has been made to the
several States; calling on the Secretary of War

pealiDg certain stamp duties. The House then

OF the Union, and took up the Naval Appropria-
ton bill. An item of Sl05, 900 for the purchase
of Seavey's Island, to enlarge the Portsmouth,
n. H., Navy-Yard, was discussed at length,
and finally struck out by 81 to 40.
Mr.. Rice remarked that the Naval Committee

RELIEF OF BROADWAY.

We are assured by the protector of the Ele-
waited Railroad that his plan nowise conflicts
with the proposed Underground Railroad, no
matter where the latter may be located nor how
il NAV be run. For the Underground Road is
essentially project for bringing expeditiously
and pleasantly into and taking similarly out OF
our City the tens Of thousands who daily visit
it from its suburbs or from points farther inland,
and who now find the transit from Harlem or
Manhattanvile to lower Broadway more tedious
and disagreeable than any twenty miles OF ont
of.town travel.
The Elevated Railway, on the other hand, is
intended to relieve Broadway and other
thronged streets by providing cheap, pleasant
and expeditions mode of conveyance for those
who wish to ride a few blocks-at most, three
or four mes-entirely within the City, without
crowding the street, impeding lateral travel,
interfering with carriages, Obstructlng the
reception or delivery of goods BY carts,
kicking up dust, or importing the
lives of pedestrians. II proposes to pay the
City fairly for the privilege OF accommodating
its citizens and strangers, and seems calculated
to provoke no opposition unless it be from rival
roads. Several of our foremost civil engineers
have given II their hearty approval.

CONGRESS AND THE SUFFRAGE

A certain newspaper Of this city, published
mainly in the interest of ofiice-seekers, lately
asserted, with an cir OF assured authority, that
the caucus of Union members lately held in
Washington had voted two TO one in favor OF
restricted suffrage in the District Of Columbia.
Thereupon the paper in question proceeded to
deliver all imperious lecture TO the Radical
minority" which would, as it assumed, revolt
against the decision Of the overwhelming Con-
servativc majority"
Two days ago, test vote was had III the
House Of Representatives. No one can say
that the question was not fully and fairly
presented. One hundred and thirty-one Union
lists and 80 Democrats voted upon the bill
All the self-styled Democrats were Of course
opposed &c measure of true democracy; but
of the Unionists, 10 were opposed to equal
suffrage upon any terms, So favored it subject
to reading and writing test, and Ga clear
msiority-favored il free from any restriction
whatever not now existing.
Where were those men in buckram who con-
sttuted the overwhelming majority against
which the insignificant Radicals were going to
rebel Can it be possible that our iniallible
cotemporary made mistake!
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1866-01-20

The Secretary of the Treasury transmits to
the House report stating that the entire de-
crease of our mercantile marine during the war
is ascertaned by dilgent inquiry not to exceed
9OI AGO tuns; whereof 900 1903 trns were trans
ferred TO foreign flags, and 1Ol, 1863 tuns were
destroyed by pirates of the Anglo-Rebel sort.
This is less than one-ffth Of the whole tunnage
of the United States.
The Secretary expresses a decided opinion
against allowing the reissue of registers to
American vessels which, during the war, were
sold in order to escape the risks Of capture.
Such a measure is against the past policy of the
country, and not demanded by any present ne.
cessity

INTERNAL COMMERCE.

The Hon. SOLOMON FOOT Of Vermont adj
dressed to the Senate last Monday remarka-
Div clear and forcibe exposition of the Consti-
tutional power and obligation Of Congress to
oyerrule all such burdens upon and distractions
10 commercial intercourse between the States
as New-Jersey creates by her Camden and AM
boy monopoly. The argument is perfect; the
power and the duty clearly demonstrated; and
we cannot doubt that the Senate will so decide,
if permitted to decide at all. Delay, evasion,
avoidance are the only tactics that can now
avail the engineers Of the Monopoly, which
has already wrested from the travelling and COM
mercial public at least Ten Millions Of Dollars
beyond what they would have been required to
nav had Congress promptly and iearlessly done
its duty.
The Senate has amended Mr. Washburne's
bill as it passed the House, by adding this pro-
viso:
the Government Of the United States and any
railroad company for transportation or fares without
compensation therefor
This completely obviates the cayil that it was
intended TO enable the Illinois Central and other
land grant roads to receive pay from the Gov
ernment for services that they have already
been paid for in lands; and now we ask the
Senate to give us the Yeas and Nays. We are
resigned even to defeat if we can only be en-.
abled TO find on record the names Of those by
whom we are defeated.

We are assured that our correspondent at
Montreal committed mistake ard wrong. in
a recent letter, in CHASING the Rev NarciSss
Cyl, now in this city, as French Canadian
"agitator" Mr.. Cyr has been here about two
months, and has devoted himself exclusively to
preaching and to efforts to establish religious
newspaper in the French language. Two
years ago Mr.. Cyr occupied the pulpit OF
the French Evangelical Church in Philadelphia;
he occasionally visited the army to minister t"
the wants of such French soldiers as he could
find in camp or field, and his sympathies,
during the war, were warmly enlisted in the
Union cause. Our correspondent no doubt was
inadvertently led into the mistake he made and
will regret as much as we DO the injustice done
toa worthy man.

any time get US into trouble. An armed
neutrality is menace of war. We desire To
make no such menace now. We want soma
regiments to keep the plains open and make
communication safe with the golden countries.
Even this may be partially avoided by doing tbs
Indian justice and dealing literally with him.
A Regular Army of $4,000 men is, va
think, enough for the United States Let US
learn lesson from the last war. The Regu-
lar Army did as much to help the South as'ths
North. Even that part of it that remained
loyal was drag on the moral progress Of the
war. The old Regular Army came as near being
an aristocracy as any institution America ever
possessed. All its instincts, its education, Its
traditions, were aristocratic. To be educated
at the expense Of the Government, to hold fancy
positions and clamor for additional pay, was tho
sole business Of the old army officer. When
the war came, he did not want to fight;
but, if he was put in the line, let the
fight be perfectly gentlemanly. Mcclellan and
Buell. and Porter embodied this West Point
Regular Army spirit. The fault was not merely
with the men, but the system. If we give
young man of twenty a sword and bid him go
and rule hundred others old enough to be his
father, with the most pcremptory and oppress-
i've discipline, he viii soon believe that all the
world is his command, and acquire tyrannical,
bigoted habits. When the nation arose in its
majesty and sent its sons from plow, anvil and
loom to bastle for national rights, this lttls
knot of lazy pensioners sneered at the vcluu-
teers as cattle and plOw boys. The cattle and
plow.boys Won the victory. We trust there will
be an end ofthis military policy, or lift is anecss'
sary evil, let it re confined t. the

it is unnecessary time Of war the lighting
men will come from farm and workshop. We
trust that Congress will legislate on the theory
that Regular Army is a rare luxury, and that
very little of it Will go great way.

The Pope, it seems, no longer eoncealS from
himself the impending doom of his temporal
dominions. In addressing the French troops
on the lst of January, he expressed the fear that
the enemies of the Church would 60 to Rome
after the departure of the French troops. So,
it seems all parties in Italy are agreed that this
withdrawal Of the French troops will be very
soon followed by a revolution in Rome, and q
demand of the Romans for annexation to Italy.
