FRIDAY, JANUARY Il, 1870,

THE VIRGINIA BILL The Washington let
ter of the Baltimore American says: "A pro
lonped, tedious session Of the Senate was that
of Yesterday upon the Virginia bill. Not i
single incident occurred TO relieve the proceed
ings, but much Of the discussion was nevertne-
less of an interesting character to the tow vino
consider the legal aspects Of the controversy
and the practical working out of the various
amendments and propositions looking to the
future. There was strong desire to bring
the subject to final vote yesterday evening,
but MIR. Sumner and others, who desire to be
heard at length, opposed the determination OF
the matter to-day, and the result, after inettcc'
tual efforts to adjourn or take o recess, was an
agreement that at o'clock to day a final vote
shall be had. The bill will 70 to the House
loaded down with conditions in tue nature oil
amendments to the original House BILL and
the probability is that prolonged debate upon
these additions to the bill must follow, so that
it is not unlikely that the Senators and Rep
resentatves from Virginia may not take their
seats before the lst of March 1T, indeed, then.
MIR. Dawes recent speech on the expendl-
lures OF the government, has already brought
out two or three other speeches in reply;
now, as is getting to be usual, in cases OF a
rather damaging nature, the President IS
brought in to break the force oil the blow
Hence, we can account for the statement sent
from Washington, that sin conversation to-
day the President incidentally referred to the
speech of MIR. Dawes as to Government ex'
penses, and remarked that it should be borne
in mind that at the close of the war we had on
hand an immense amount of stores, fuel, pro-
visions, etc.; that these had been from time to
time disposed of, and the proceeds used to pay
last four years, and now they are exhausted,
and we are put upon the resources from the
revenue from taxes and customs to pay the ex'
pepses OF the government; that the expenses
OF the Government tor the army and navy
were less during last year than the previous
year, and that Mr.. Dawes statement, without
many such explanations, was calculated to ere.
nte An erroneous and false impression
IL ia probable, MIR. ID. may refer, hercaitert TO
the answer of the administration to his speech.
The Washington News says that in conrma-
tios of Mr.. DIS statements the books of the
Treasury Department show that the receipts
from all sources since the lst inst, have been
light as compared with those OF the past three
or four months, while the expenditures have
been rather heavy on all accounts, especially
those of tho War Department.

SENATOR SUMNER. In the course OF his
speech in the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Sum
uer said The election in Virginia was one
huge, colossa! fraud He read extracts from
letters which, he said, be had received from m
loyal men in different parts OF Virginia al
stating that the rebel element were opprgSSs!ng
the oyalsts, and that the lives OF the Union
men were in dagger. Among the letters was
one from Iynchburg, stating that tho pas
tor OF one OF the churches in that city had' IN

"Mr. Sumner-In the days of the slave

nosine their outrages. the cry came from all
narts of the Chamber for the name, anu TO
have given the name would have been to seal
the fate Of Tie writer. [ declined then, anu
must decline now.
The comment, and the perfectly just com
ment. which the Baltimore Gazette makes
upon all this, is: 1T is impossible to meet, in
the proper mode and spirit such allegations as
Sumner makes about fraud, oppression, 10,
otherwise than by excaiming, "These LIES are

In the Maryland House Of Delegates, yester
day, judge Merrick, one Of the Howard county
members, developed new feature OF tnt
attempt to compel the Baltimore anc
Ohio Railroad to pay the State the amount
due it on account of the capitation tax on tht
Washington Branch. Judge Nj. in the course
of his speech said that the Railroad Company
had assumed to become the master instead OF
the creature Of the State, and that it must b<
made to understand its legal and moral obIlga
tions. He denied that the Nevada decision
was at all analogous to the question in this
State, and desired direct issue between the
State and Company. JudgeM errick ended by or
iering resolution directing the Attorney Gen
eral of the State to institute proceedings to as
certain whether the charter oil the Company
ought not to be vacated and annulled. The speech
and resolutions created an intense SENSATION,
and tue latter were made the special order Tor

1t has been said, in relation to the purchase
and annexation Of San Domingo or llayt, that
those who are familiar with it's history may he
permitted to doubt whether the island, il con.
ferred upon the United States as free gilt,
would not cost moro than it came to. The
purchase OF Alaska was only an injudicious
acquisition at an enormous cost, with no pros.
pect Of the least advantage this San Do
mngo business is full OF unnecessary present
expense, with the certain prospect Of future
troubles. and complications. 1t would be of
more profit and advantage to this country to
let it remain in the hands OF its present inhab.

of some other nation, than for the u. 5. to

The debate on the Virginia bill, in both
Houses Of Congress, have developed the most
extraordinary and unconstitutional doctrines
announced by the Radical leaders, in relation to
the authority Of Congress over the states, ever
before put forth in this country doctrines
which if carried out into practice, would reduce
the States to petty provinces, and place all the
rights that have been left to them in snbjec
ton to the whims and caprices of any doml-
nant party or faction having majority in Con-
gress. No utilization or connection with such
leaders, or with any party which supports Or
encourages them, can be held or entertained
by the friends of tue liberty and the oonsttn-
ton, any where, especially in the South. Re
construction or no Reconstruction the seDtl-
