The Senate to-day discussed the
concurrent resolution that uo Senator
or Representative from any seceded
State shall be admitted until Con-
gress decides whether tho^e States
are entitled to representation. Gen.
Sherman maintains that the resolu-
tion could confer no power than
what is alreany vested iu Congress.
A bill-was introduced to continue'
in force the act to re-establish a^ bu-
reau for freedmen as at first.
Mr. McCluny ottered a resolution
that it be referred to a Committee on
Reconstruction to enquire and ascer-
tain whether contumacy be clearly
manifested in the seceded States, and
if so, to enquire iuto the expediency
of levying contributions upon the
disloyal inhabitants of such States,
to defray the extraordinary expenses
Which would otherwise be thrown on
the national Government, for keep-
ing uj> a standing army and protect-
ing the loyal citizens in their materi-
al personal rights under the Consti-
tution.
The House disensse^ joint resolu-
tions proposing to amend the Consti-
tution so us to give Congress the
power to mflke laws, to secure the
citizens of each State all the privile-
ges and immunities of citizens in the
several States, and to secure to per-
sons iip all the several States the ,proi
tection of life, liberty, etc.

rable breach between the President

St. Louis, Feb. 26.—A meeting of
the old Clay bank party and others en-
dorsing the President's veto message
denounced the denial of representa-
tion to eleven States, and resolved
that the action of the General Assem-
bly, condemning the veto and declar-
ing for negro suffrage was a gross
misrepresentation of public sentiment
in Missouri. '
San Francisco, Feb —, A Demo-
cratic meeting endorsed • the Presi-
dent's position, and called a mass
meeting for Tuesday next.
New York, Feb. 20.—Cape Town
advices to January 15th, say the Bii

running the country by successful
raids. It was understood that a levy
would be attempted as a last resort
against the Basutos.
Vicksburg, Feb. 26.—River 14 feet

Washington, Feb. 26.—A telegram
to Representatives Wilson and Price,
from Gov. Stone, of Iowa, says that
the Iowa legislature, by an overwhel-
ming majority, approve the course of
their Congressmen in sustaining the
Bureau bill and repudiating the Pre-
sident's Veto.
President Johnson received the fol-
lowing telegram:
Keokuk, Iowa.—An immense mass
meeting here; great enthusiasm; 100
guns fired; your veto message unani-
mously endorsed." a
The Tribune's special says the du-
ties of collectors along the coast, es-
pecially in Florida, are materially ob-
structed by blockade runners and
psymathisers.
Private Paris advices say whatover
the interpretation given to the vague
language of the Emptor's speech,
the French Government is determin-
ed to withdraw the French forces
from Mexico with the shortest possi
ble delay.
Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 26.—The tri-
al of John H. Gee, formerly Confed-
erate commandant of Salisbury pris-
on, is progressing before the military
commission.
A large number of witnesses on
both sides. Gee pleads his parole,
and is anxious for a postponement of
the trial.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Gen. G'us-
tar denies" that he has been making
secession speeches.
Good authority says, the Presi
dent in a few days will issue, a peace
proclamation. Secretary Stanton's
resignation is undoubtedly

rebuilding churches, and for a spirit
of kindness and pacification towards

Wise and Fernando Wood is publish-
ed, the former asking for political in-
formation, the latter replying that the
present time is an interregnum to be
followed _by such measures as will
adapt the fundamental fornf of Gov-
ernment to the new order of things.
Secretary Seward, summoned oy a
telegram, liaa left for Washington.
A Lima letter says that Gen. Hoo-
ker, the American Minister, at a ban-
quet given by the Chilian Embassa-
dor, advised the European govern-
ment not to meddle with the affair* of
this continent.
Washington, Feb. 2l.—There was
an interesting war of words between
Messrs. Cowan, Fessenden, Doolittle,
Dixon and others, in |he Senate tfi-
day, on the question of taking "up
the resolution passed by the Hotfte
yesterday to exclude Representatives
/and Senators from the Southern
'> states until Congress shall decide
tW. t.hoiw States are entitled,to repre-
sentation. The strongest point
against it is that the subject matter of
it w only be embraced in a joint
resolution or an act of Congress, and
not in a. concur rout resolution. The
Radicals refuse to make it a joint reso-
lutionbecause of the President's veto.
A concurrent resolution does not need
the Executive's approval.
Mr. Buckalew made a spcech,
mainly, devoted to showing that New
England had an undue influence in
the Senate. He reviewed at sortie
length the relative powers and in-
fluence ot the Eastern and Western
States iu the Senate and on the Gov-
ernment, and favored a readjustment
of Senatorial representation, which
shall give to each State with less than
a million inhabitants one Senator; of
more than one and less than three
million, two Senators; and more thau
three millions, three Senators. This
arrangement, lie said, would make
representation in the Senate equal
and satisfactory.
The House then took lip the loan
bill, which is as follows:
Beit enacted, etc., That the aet en
titled ''An aet to provide ways and
means to support the Government,"
approved March 3, 1865, shall be ex-
tended aud construed to authorize the
Secretary of the Treiisury, at his dis-
any Treasury notes
or other obligations issued uuder any
act ofTfoiigress, whether beaflhg in-
terest or riot, in exchange for any de-
scription of bonds authorized by the
act. of which this is an amendment;
aud also to dispose of any description
of bonds authorized by said act in the
United Sfates or elsewhere, to such an
amount, in such manner and at such
rates as he may think advisable, for
lawful money of the United States, or
for any treasury notes, certificates of
indebtedness, or certificates of de-
posit, or other representatives of value
which have been or which may be
issued under any aet of Congress, the
proceeds thereof to 4>e used tmly for
redeeming treasury notes or ottyer ob-
ligations issued under any act of
Congress; but nothing herein con-
tained shall be construed to authorise
an increase of the public debt, pro-
vided that the bonds which may be
disposed of elsewhere, than in the
United States, may be made payable,
both priilcipnl and interest, iu the
coin or currency of the country of
which they are made payable, but,
shall not bear a rate of interest ex-
ceeding ve flper cent per nnnum; and
provided further, that the act to
which this is an amendment shall con-
tinue in full force in all its provisions
except as modified by this act.
The Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, Mr. Morrill, made
a strong speech in support of the bill,
contendingthat the same power should
be given to the Secretary of the Trcas
ury now as had been given to his pre-
decessors, with regard to the foreign
loan—a clause, he said, that had pre-
viously been included in the loan bill,
but had never been used, and proba-
bly would not in teis case.
Mr. Stevens was opposed ty giving
the Secretary the tremendous power
proposed in the bill. He ottered a
substitute, which differs only fronr
the above bill by omitting the foreign
loan clause and striking outthe words
giving the Secretary discretion. The
original bill, known as the Secretary's
bill, assuredly cannot pass the House,
judging from the debates to-day.
It has been the general opinion that
the bill granting universal suffrage in
this District would never be acted
upon by the Senate, but it was report-
ed for passage this morning just as it
came from the House. The Senate
Committee on the District will urge
its immediate passage.
The Star says that the radical Sen-
ators and Representatives have tele-
graphed to their friends in the various
States, urging demonstrations to sus-
tain Congress. The first response,
that from Ohio, was read in the House
to-day, and the Star says others are
expected to follow.
Washington, Feb. 21.—Brig. Gen.
E. M. Gregory, Assistant Commission-
er of the Freedmen's Bureau for the
State of Texas, reports, under date of
Galveston, Jan. 31, to Major General
Howard, that he learned during a
recant trip through different portions
of the State,, which comprise the most
productive aud influential cotton and
sugar growing sectious that the blacks
are willing to work, asking only that
the fulfilment of the promises made
them by the planters should lu; en-
forced by the Government. Under
these conditions contracts were free-
ly made with the freedmen on liberal
terms. The former slaves are under
contract; for a year, and vagrancy has
almost been a thing of the past in
the State ; aud out of more than four
hundred thousand freedmen only
about 67 are receiving Government
support. |
The Commissioner of Customs has
been notified of quite a large seizure
of smuggled goods at New Orleans,
consisting of one hundred and fifty
bales of army and Mexican blankets,
gray cloth" and clothing, amounting
to an aggregate of nearly $700,000.
These goods were smuggled into Tex-
as from Mexico, through Eagle Pass,
about the close of the war.
Reports received at the Freedmen's
Bureau, froifl Mississippi, give tho
object of the bill. In no essential
point is the President at variance ei-
ther with the majority of Congress or
with the country, so far as the claims
of the treHhuen are concerned. He
seeks to reach the end aimed at in
the veto bill by other, and what he
deems less radical agencies. It will,
therefore, be for Congress and the
country to weigh carefully the objec-
tion* ottered,, and at least to respect
if they cannot assent to the reasons ou
which the Executive veto is based."
The Herald says: "The Freed-
men's Bureau bill has, at the hands
of President Johnson, met with the
fate which it deserved. His general
arguments aud his specifications
against,the 1411 are consistent, con-
vincing and conclusive "

&1—The CoiMo
morcial says: The late large sales of
gold by the Sub-Treasury continue to
effect the inouey ip„rket sharply.—
Some of the banks find themselves
pushed bv the heavy checks drawn in
pa vine lit for purchased gold, j nd their
loanable resources are corresponding-
ly curtailed. The report that some
(If the banks had requested the Assis-
tant Treasurer to waive the ten (lays1
notice upon their certificates of de-
posit, is erroneous. In case of such
application being made, Mr. Van
Dyek would show every disposition
to meet the case. The funds in the
Sub-Treasury are ample, and would,
we doubt not, be found avnilab®,
should emergency require it
This moi ling the,,,rffmifgr/or call
loans has been' quite active, and 7 per
cent, has been paid freely in stock
collaterals. Tl^ro is, however, no
disposition to disturb the outstanding
6 per cent, loans, the' indent flurry
being regarded only as temporary.—
The witudi'iiVvals of oiijcJfeacy from the
Sub-Treasury, on ftC6ount of the 7:30
interest due on the 15tli inst., have
been merely uomiunl, the total up to
the present being ouly about one mil-
lion dollars. '
The National banks have received
a large amount of coupons, for which,
however, thejf Jiay$,feceived from
Washington, currency returns calcu-
lated to afford them ease during the
pressure.

market. haB checked the buoyancy iu
the stock market. At the morning
board some considerable Bales were
made, and to realize, and the market
wasou an average of one .per cent,
lower. After the board .there was a
better feeling and a partial recovery
in prices, & miWjJv
There is a moderate amount of the
better class of paper offering, with a
fair inquiry at 7 to 7i per cent, for
prime names ; 8 to 9 for good,, aud 10
to 18 per cent, for lower grades. The
decrease in the supply of paper indi-
cates a contraction of credit iu mer
cantile circles. Foreign exchange is
nominal as usual ou the sailing days
of steamers. The leading bankers
quote sixty days' sterling at 108J-,
which appeftfSto be above the views
of buyers. Francs are quoted at
518$ long dale, 515 short date. Gold
ic iu fair defnahd for customs, and
the price is steady at 137J. There is
no pressure to sell. 3 per fteut. is
paid for carrying gold.

Washington, Feb. 20.—This has I
been a field day in the American Con-
gress. The Senate Chamber has not
witnessed such an attendance of spec -
tators since the famous winter of] rti I.
sist, and In the long run it will never
resist, as clearly shown in the history
of our Government. ' Washington,
himself, who. was exceedingly saga-
cious in the workings of the Govern-
ment, informed us ft was his opinion
that there was a weakness that ought
o bee remedied. He saw it early.
He saw that a man entrusted with
more than regal powers during the
period he was President, might be
tempted to use them for his advance-
•ueut afterwards, aud almost all the
Presidents since have felt the neces-
sity ot some such check upon per-
sonal ambition. It is the injunction
of more thau hutnau wisdom to be re-
lieved from these temptations. We
might trace this, had we time, through
preceding1 Administrations, and we
should find that this influence weighed
m gt'a.vitati£u upou the nund of. ul-v
most every President we ever had.
How is it, sir, iu tile present case! I
have no doubt that the present Chief
- - present CI
Magistrate came into office while ho
was perfectly single in his mind, and
sincere and trnthfnl in his opinions ?
Why, sir. he spoke, and reiterated it
every day for two mouths, that trea-
son was u. great crime, that it ought,
to lie punished, it must be rendered
odious, mid lie was the man to do
tjiis. Ho puid it to every delegation
that waited on hiiu until the. words
became stereotyped on the minds of
the wliple people. How, sir, has lie
performed that plQitgo ? Has he pmv-
Ushridiiu'yhddy?
Why, sir, we have the unheal)! of
spectacle of one ot" the greatest i$,-.,
hellions that ever cursed mankind,
involving more people, more lives,
more expense,'.than all the rebellious
that have oecuned in history, and
yet. sir, no Hum has been punished iu
consequence of it. Something is
wrong. If this lis nil right, then the
whole (.system yf penitentiaries
throughout the Union ought to bd
abolished. Sir, tho Presidoht was
right when he" said that, treason was a
great crime, and ought to be rendered
odious. What has occurred to change
his position on that question f I will
not say this ambition which has tempt-
ed, all who have gone before„ him
weighed on liis mind to tempt Ihiin',
but it is exceedingly singular that so
far from rendering treason, odious by
punishment, lie has hoistedi into most
exlialted positions many of the lead-
ing traitors in the South. "W|ho else
at any period of the world's history
ever thought of taking a rebel rod
with the blood of his countrymen and
placing him iu the position of Gov-
ernor of a State, who has sought to
overthrow the Government of the
Union, and who invoked a despotism
to aid hun in doing it'? Is that the
way you make, treason .odious among
mankind ? "
Manchester,. N. H., Feb. 20.—One
hundred guns were fired here to-night
iu honor of the 'President's veto of
the Freedmen's Bureau bill.
Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 20.—The Dem-
ocracy of Dayton had a jollification
over President Johnson's veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill this afternoon,'
firing one hundred guns. Mr. Vul-
landihglniin made a brief speech, say-
ing the Democracy did not elect Pres-
ident Johnson, but it is now their du-
ty to stand by him. ( He announced a
mass meeting in future for exultation.
Columbus, 0., Feb. 20.—The cau-
cus to-night of the Ohio Legislature
unanimously adopted the following
resolution;
Resolved, That in the action of the
Union Representatives in Congress we
recognize an exposition of the prin-
ciples that made us a party, and saved
our country through the late rebellion,
and we tender such Representatives
u hearty support.
The Democratic members of the
Legislature held a caucus to-night,
and indorsed President. Johnson'* veto.
Alter Air. Wade concluded
Freedmen's Bureau bill came up.—
Mr. Davis spoke an hour. Senator
Trumbull, the author of tho Freed-
men's Bureau bill, then spoke for two
hours and a half, and was listened to
with great interest by t he audience,
lie was entirely courteous to the Pres-
ident, and only addressed his argu- i
ment from a legal point of view.
At half-past four, amid breathless I
silence, the question was put whether j
the bill should pass, notwithstanding
the President's objections. The. yeas
weie called, and every name and vote
were watched with intense interest.
There was a disposition to applaud
when .Messrs. Dixon, Doolittle, Mor-

New Yoiik, Feb. 20.—The follow-
ing are extracts from the niornin
press regarding President John
veto of the Freedmen's Brireau bi
The World says: "President John-
son has nobly sustained liis character
for steadiness of purpose aud politi-
cal courage by the veto sent to the
Senate yesterday of the bill for en-
larging the powers of the Freedmen's
Bureau. The consideration of most
immediate interest is the likelihood of
the veto being effective. Can a bill
be passed by a two-thirds vote of
both Houses, over the veto, and be-
come a law in spite of the President ?
We think it cannot; but the ques-
tion is not so entirely from doubt as
to set "t^he public anxiety at rest until
-tho trial boo boonntadc."
The Tribune says: "We deeply
regret this and we think he will live
to regret this even more deeply; for
this veto will be understood^ by all
that is brutal and ruffianly at the
South, as giving license to any abuse
and oppression of the blacks that
white malignity, rancor, or hate can
devise:*
The TfatyM says: "The veto im
plies no essential difference of opin-
ion between tne Executive and the
majority of Congrats on the primary
State to representation, but since yes-
terday there had been such state of
things as. had induced the committee
to donsfder it wholly out of their
power to proceed further without sur-
rendering a greet principle* and with-
out surrendering the rights of this
body to thq nsuroaUon . of another
power—meaning the President.

and refused to allow debate1, where-

of New Jersey, shouted above the din,

attendance.
Senator Wade, before the question
was reached, Htbroducwl a eoitstitu

dent's olllce good only for tho term of
the incumbent. In speaking briefly

posed to admit in the hulls of Congress

that he looked upon those who favor-
ed it as little better than traitors at
heart. The declaration produced im-
mense sensation,
Mr. Wade, in offering this resolu-
tion. said : "I will ntnte that this res-
olution is no new idea of mine, for I
have been an advocate of It for many
years, and I have derived the verv
strong impression 1 have on the sub-
ject by a very careful observation of
the workings ot our Government
