of Congress was taken up and pass
ed 1t fixes the. time for the meet
ing of the fortieth and all succeeding
Congresses at II o'clock on the 4th

mileage for the extra session.
1t goes back to the House for con-
currance in some verbal amendment
The bill to regulate the elective
franchise in the Territories Of the
United States was called up and pass
ed, amended so as to read as fol,
lows:
''That from and after the passage
of this act there shall be ne denial OF
the elective franchise in any of the
Territories of the United States
which are now or may be hereafter
organized, to any, citizen thereof en-
account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude, and all acts
or parts of acts either of Congress er
of the Legislative assemblies of said

visions of this act, are hereby declar-

The bill of Senator Williams, to
regulate the tenure of office, WIS
taken up. 1t provides that every
person except Cabinet Ministers
shall hold his office until success,
sor is appointed, and prohibits the
President from renewing except for
malfeasance in Office, and in such
eases it shall be the duty Of the Pres

shall be suspended; if not, he shall
continue in office.
The third section authorizes the
President to fill vacancies occasioned
by death or resignation.
Mr.. Howe moved to amend the bill
by striking out the exception with

put it beyond the power ofthe Pres

down.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ..
The Nebraska Bill came up al
half-past twelve, and was discussed
until three, when a vote was taken.
The bill was passed with the Ed
mund Amendment, in the following
language:
SEC. 3. That this act shall 90 in
to effect with fundam entail and per
petual condition, that within the said
State of Nebraska there shall be nc
abridgement or denial of the exer.
else of the elective franchise, or OF
any other right, to any person, by
reason Of race or color, excepting In
dians not taxed.
This was adopted by a very close
vote. 1t was defeated by tie in

been taken out Of the Committee OF
the Whole into the Senate, adopted
by 20 to fisherman and Fowler
changing came in to swell the affirm
ative side. The bill was then pass
ed with the amendment. Yeas, "a;
nays, Is.
Among the negatives were, Foster,
Grimes and Howe. Of the thirteen
absentees, eight may be set down as
friends of the bill, making thirty
two who may be counted upon to
override the veto of the President
1t will take thirty-fiv to dc it in a
full Senate, but there are several
Senators sick who cannot be here
1t will require close shaping to get
over the veto.
The Colorado Bill was then pass
ed with the same amendment that
was attached to the Nebraska Bill
The House spent all day on the
bill to pay the Department Clerks
twenty per cent, but came to no vote.
There was strong opposition to the
measure.

E The National Intelligencer
res 8 lugubrious picture of the con-
-dition of the South for lack of money,
and attributes it to the conduct si
the s'poiiticians who control Con-
gress." IN this it is wrong. Even
in the pasniest days of the South
money was usually scarcer there than
at the North. And her present
eramped condition in this respect is
nothing more nor less than the inev-
table and legitimate result of the
late disastrous civil war into which
she plunged herself and the country.
She squandered her resources in q
vain attempt to break up the govern
inert. Sunk her money and wealth
in worthless rebel currency and
bonds, and if now without capital
and means, she can blame no one
but herself.

GLoRYING IN SHAME.-The Mem
phis Avalanche says:
All the present proprietors of the
Avalanche were in the Confederate
army. One followed the star Of
Preston Smith, which, like the eve
ming sun after a gloomy day, blazed
out only to sink in darkness; then he
followed the fortunes of Vaughan
and Mageveny- in the fiery hell of
battle, and is now suffering from a
terrible wound which will hasten
him to the grave. Another was with
Cheatham and Strahl, and two
wounds and palsied arm are the
trophies he brings from noble but
fruitless contest. Another enlisted
as private, afterward promoted,
and served un6er Cleburne and Bate,
and these heroes always commended
his gallantry and efficiency. The
other was on Gen. Forests staff for
three years-was by the side of that
great military chieftain in hundred
fights.

WASHINGTON, Jan. g.
The bill TO admit Nebraska was
taken up at | o'clock, and was dis.
cussed, without arriving at any re
suit, until adjournment at 5 O'Clock.
The debate was totally devoid of in
terest, except for the Significance
that attaches to a Radical speech by
Mr.. Creswell, of Maryland, in the
course of which enough was said to
indicate that the Radicals of Mary
land are in favor of the Congression-
al reconstruction of the State upon
the basis of negro suffrage.
A vote upon the Nebraska bill is
agreed upon for tomorrow, at 3
O'Clock.
The House to-day was the scene
of great interest, There were larger
crowds in attendance than on any
previous day of the session.
The message of the President ve-
toing the District Suffrage Bill was
received from the Senate at l o clock
and promptly considered. All de-
bate was cut off by the previous
question being sustained, although
there did not appear to be any one
disposed to speak. The bill was
then passed over the veto by a vote
of 113 to So, and was declared by the
Speaker to be the LAW of the land.
The result was received by q
round of applause from the galleries.
The only Republicans who voted
to sustain the veto were Latham, of
West Va, and Phelps, of Msryland.
Raymond voted for the bill.
The House passed bill to pre-
vent the sale of citizens into slavery,
and to enforce the thirteenth article
of the Constitution abolishing slave
ry, which bill is specially intended
to reach cases lately transpiring in
Maryland.
Mr.. Phelps, of Maryland, stated
that bill bad been introduced into
t1e State Legislature to repeal the
local law providing for the sale of
negroes convicted of crime.
The New York Democrats, Win
field, Bergen and Hunter, voted for
the House bill.

R- The Petersburg (Va.) Ex.

EE The Petersburg (Va- Ex-
press, in lengthy article, contem.
plates with evident satisfaction the
prospect of collision between the
executive and Legislative depart
ments of the Federal Government
After expatiating upon what it is
pleased to term the Radical pro
gramme of reducing the lately re
bellious States to a territorial con
dition and elevating the "loyal ol
black element" to the ascendency in
the South, it says:
"When these aggressions shall bt
inaugurated, Mr.. johnson will be put
on the defensive Will he quietly
sit in the Chair of State, and see all
this work undone? AS coordinate
power in the Government, will he
consent to have his prerogatlyes
wrestea from him and his Office re-
duced to nullity? In the nature OF
things a collision will inevitably take
place, unless one or the other party
recedes; and, in their present tenn
per, this is an event not to be ex-
pected.
"If collision is to occur, the
sooner the better. Congress pro-
poses to organize the militia. includ-
ing, of course, the freedmen. The
President is COMMANDMENTS chief of
the army. If the Governor Of a
State calls upon him to suppress in
surrection and disorder, he is bound
by the Constitution to afford the
necessary relief Which party will
prevail, in the last resort, can scarce
II be matter of conjecture. If the
President can't confer on US the right
Of representation, he can at least Secure
as in oar present position, aOhich, on the
acAole, IS perhaps preferable to being
represented in sach body.
"When the danger becomes i'm
minent, it is possible a pacifcation
may be effected. If, however, Con-
gress should shew no disposition to
relax its grasp after absolute domln-
ion, and declare itself in perpetual
session, the President pill hare no al
ternative left him but to disperse the taco
Houses at tie point of the 6ayonet. 1t
is morally impossible for hun to submit. .
We fear that the editor of the Ex-
press will never have the pleasure of
seeing Mr.. johnson, "disperse the
two Houses at the point of the bayo-
net" 1t is true that many extreme
men at the South would rejoice to
see such a collision brought about,
hoping therein to find an occasion
and opportunity ef reviving the ''lost
cause" of the defunct Confederacy.
But such hopes are built upon the
sand, for they are based upon the
idea of supposed aggressiens upon
the South which the Union party
have never contemplated, and will
never give the President any just
grounds for dispensing them by Mill
tary force, and Mr.. johnson, unwise
and foolish as he has shown himself,
would not dare to interfere with Con-
gress without cause. Our Southern
friends, instead of building such
castles in the air, would do well to
abandon at once aud forever this
wild dream OF a Southern Confeder-
acy, and to return in gesd faith and
with loyal hearts to their allegiance
to the government.
