This bill wa3 passed at the last Session, btit not re turned by the President, therefore it must be passed again. '; The bill was: read, as . fol lows r:;;.v'. . :,;,;.v:!;r; h.. ,i;;l aa:a-Zn':t Beit nactedr &c4 That the word ' w hite," wherever it occurs in the laws relating to the District ot Columbia, or in the charter or or dinances of the city of (Washington or George town, and operating as a- limitation ou. the right of any elector of said District, or eith er of said cities, to hold any office, or .to be selected and to serve as a iuror, be, and the same is hereby repealed ; arid it shall be un lawful for any person or officer to enforce, or attemjft to enforce, said limitation after the passage of this act. ' j . Mr. Davis objecting, the resolution was laid over. . . , , , . . . MrEdraunds'offered the following5 joint resolution, which was read, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. He said he would call it up at an early day, and hoped it would be passed with entire' unanimity ; Whereas the public debt of the United States was (except when specially otherwise provided) contracted and incurred upon the faith and credit ot the United States that the same would be paid or redeemed in coin or its equivalent ; and whereas doubts .have been raised as to to the duty and propriety of discharging such debt in coin or its equiv alent ; thereforer "f r f , " ; - Resolved byrthe Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United States in CoDgress assembled. That the I public debt of -the the:United States: (except in the cases where in the law authorizing the same other pro vision was expressly made) is owing in coin or its equivalent, and the faith pi the United States is hereby pledged in payment accord ingly. I ' Mr. Wilson offered the, following, whiph was adopted! ? . ; - :' ; - - f ; Resolved, "That the Secretary of the Treas ury be directed to communicate, for. the in formation of the Senate, any facts or reports in possession of that department relating to the repeal of the tax on cotton. r Mr. Grimes moved that when the Senate adjourn it adjourn to Monday next. Carried. House. Mr. Stevens was in his seat, his physical condition, apparently, as good as at last Session. ; Messrs, Woodward and Cary, new mem bers, were sworn in. v ; : Whsn the eight members elect from Ten nessee approached the Speaker's Chair, to take the oath prescribed by law, objection was mada by;jlr.' Eldridge to the adminis-r tration of the oath to Mr. StokesfMr. Brooks, ot New York, objected; to administerinir the oath tq any one of the ITennessee delegates. on the groand that two if not more of them had been guilty of treason to the Govern ment, anel, h&il taken the oath of allegitfnce to Jeerson Datis. and that there does not nov exist in Tennessee a republican form of government. 7 In view of his character as a KnowNothing Copperhead Democrat and opposer of the Government, the Republicans were much amused at this move of Mr. Brooks. I , He argued that the electoral law ot Ten nessee disfranchises a J large proportion (a majority) of its white citizens. The whole vote of the State being; 140,000, 100,000 vo ters had controlled the election - 55,000 of whom were negroes, controlling the 45,000 white voters who were; not disfranchised. An oligarchy now existed and reigned in lennessee, and j the franchise law was a disgrace to any free form of govern- menu, a aisnonor 10 civilization, ana a -reprobation to all the forms of republican self government. Haying disposed of this gene ral objection, he proceeded to state his spe cial objection to the swearing in of Mr. But ler, as a member from Tennessee, because, as a member of the Tennesse Legislature, before and during the rebellion, he had introduced, supported, and voted j for resolutions and measures proving his disloyalty to the Uni ted States Government. Among those were resolutions to reject the confirmation of any man to office who endorsed the Helper book, condemning the appointment of Mr. Seward in Mr. Lincoln's cabinet as ah act of hostility to the South, and for the calling of a con vention to take the State out of the Union. He quoted the precedent established by the Republican side of " the House last July in regatd to the Kentucky members, and argued that they were now irrevocably bound by.it. He objected to the swearing ia of Mr. Mul lins as a member from Tennessee, on the ground that he had given aid arid comfort to the rebellion ; had made speeches in be half of it; had lent his aid and support, to it, and had attempted jto raise troops for it, having made a speech in Bedford county, in 1861; in which he urged the young men to engage in,. a rebel company, and to defend - their homes , and firesides. He - objected to the swearing in of MrJ Arnell, on the ground that he had established in Lawrence county. Tennessee,ra. tannery, jwhich was devoted to supplying shoes to the rebel soldiers. His otoection to Mr. irimoie was miormauon that, if he voted at all on toe question oi secession, he had voted for takmg.Tennessee, out oi ine union. Mr. Trimble (in his seat) assured Mr. Brooks that ne naa not done so. Mr. Brooks accepted the denial, arid there- ' i': ' a' - vi ' a. ? a m ' lore wimarew an special ooiecxion 10 mr: Trimble. 1 Mr. Stokes, of Tennessee has objected to because of his hay ing admitted in the House on the 7th of July,1866, his having written a letter tb John Duncan on the 10th of May, 1861, stating that he understood some gross misreDresentations! were going the rounds of In reference to hi9 nositiortc which UIO BClUuu tr 7 . he wished to' correct ; that he had been a .vnootp nf the Union tin to the uvuivux , - . , ' t - A aa trtr 75 I1IH1 trOnna in violation of Iaw and for the subjugation S&T&teMZnYt nam, u xz , L i:; : t J . i c it. .,u!Vku nAmmonfiPfi I invprnnr arming the State and resisting .Lincoln at the point of the-bayonet, and that he had enrolled his name as a volunteer to resist Lincoln's: usurpation. . , l xr nwp moved as a substitute for the pending motions ttiat the credentials of Mr. k afraA in thB Committee of Elec- Butler be referred to the Committee tiohsand that pencung ui question, he be not sworn - "c stood the gentleman- from NewYorkJiT. i -w - i f m in rriinii i&ilu. urooKsjLio h.lf TOnrWfnl nrntrrPfW MOCe ast SeSSlOU, when he Dut himself on the ground that no charge of disloyalty, however flagrant and 1 .n KTa ' 'rraa an fficip.nt around for the ex clusion of a member who held the certificate of his election.- He congratulated the coun . kjo wnndftrfnl conversion, for whicn 14 y wu u , ihere was no parallelel since the celebrated journey to Damascus. He trusted that Mr Brooks would continue, journeying on until he .saw,' more clearly even than the members on the Republican side, what did constitute loyalty and disloyalty. !The genleman had also taken the ground - to-day that it was proper for the House to look into the con -8titution;of a State and decide whether it is republican or not. v He was happy, for once, to be able to stand with the gentlemen from New York; and to vote with him. He wel comed him as a new convert, and; expected himlikd all converts, to take tle' lead, and tQ.-dojmrorks 'meet tor repentance. -'4 " Mr. Kelley opposed all the motions look ing to the exclusion of any of the Tennes-: see members," and eulogized the character and, services of Mr. Stokes. He wished the men of the South to know that it was the Democratic . party, - on this floor which did not acknowledge any place or time5 for re pentance; which could relieve I disfranchise ment, not for rebellion; but for the holding of opinions in 1801, which they held to-day, on the Subject of States rights and the deg radation of colored: people. , Here Sir. Dawes moved the previous ques tion which wa3 seconded and Mr. Stokes credentials were referred.. Mr. Dawes closed the debate by the previous question, remarking moving that the House could " pass on I the question of Mr. Stokes as1 well to-day as at any other time the only thing in it being the Duncan letter. The previous question was seconded, and the resolution of Mr. Eldridge was rejected. So Mr. Stokes' credentials were not referred. Mr. Brooks then submitted a resolution to refer, the. credentials of Mr.: Mullins to the Committee of IJlections, and sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter from a lieutenant : in the; 12th United States infant try, supporting the statement made in re spect to that case. Referripg to a remark of Mr. L;Ogan's, he said that the 'only differ ence between Mr. Logan and himself was that, at the beginning of the war, Mr. Logan was a terrible Copperhead, and himself a Union man ; while now Mr, Logan was a terrible , disunion man and Jacobite, and himself still a Union man. As to the re -marljs of Mr, Sch,enck, he said that that gentleman; was not a very amiable person had not that suavity of manner, which, as a student of Chesterfield, he ought to have, and that he was the regular scold of the House. 1 He defended his own course and consistency in this matter. : j Mr, Dawes replied to Mr. Brooks. Mr. Shellabarger said he would inot dis-' cuss the proposition whether the House might disregard the requirements of the test oath law, f The House-would be doing; a most dangerous thing if it let down the high and important requirements of the test -oath for members on either side. It should hold up in the utmost good faith the standard to where the law had fixed it, and require that vigilance shall be brought to bear to see that no one shall be sworn in vho could not pro perly take; it. He. would not assent to his colleague's (Mr. Schenck's) proposition that Mr. Stokes should judge for himself whether tie could take the test oath. Mr. Schenk explained and justified his re mark, and having referred to the! case ot Senator Patterson, he said that he would have permitted! him to take the oath, but would the next moment have moved to expel him tor manifest perjury. Mr. Shellabarger (resuming) argued that the resolution to refe Mh Mullin's credgntials should be adopted I resolution on the ground, principally, that the charge against Mr. Mullins was made .simply on an unsworn statement contained in the letter of a person untouched for. Re ferring tq Mr. Brooks, he (remarked that it would hardly be believed that a leader of the Know Nothing party should be found now boasting , by how many Irish votes he coulb be returned to Congress if he were ex pelled for; misconduct. Ho believed in re pentance and was very glad that a gentle man heretofore the leader of the dark-lantern, anti-Catholic, church-burning, and j orphan asylum-burning party should change and be come the leader of cohorts of Irishmen, if Irishmen could bo found so deluded as to follow him. Mr. Dawes, in behalf of Mr. Mullins, en- lue IU,i ' ( compie v i- pntleman of nil the matters alleged m the The House voted on the resolution, and it was rejected unanimously. The Tennissee members then, except Mr. Butler, were called in front of the Speaker's chair, and had the test-oath solemnly ad ministered to them, i Delegates from Washington and Montana Territories were sworn in. i !' Papers! announcing the election 1 of Mr. Cleaver from New Mexico were referred to the Committee on Elections. l i ' -The order requiring the Judiciary Com mittee to Ireport forthwith on the Impeach ment nf i W.

In the Evening Session an amendment to the Bill of Rights was offered, that common carriers shall not make any discrimination on account of color, between persons travel ing on public conveyances, which caused great excitement.

The War of the rebellion is not yet over. The States of the South are not yet reconstructed. TheJ grand army of the Republic is double the numbers of old. The grand armyot the "Poto mac has tried Soldiers and dusky faces, who still love their profession and cherish the bid musk ets they carried so bravely on many a well fought field. " The lowly and humble have learned their rights, and know how to fight, and, if need be, to die for them. No power save that of the Al mighty God can keep the loyal people, in .the end, from achieving their own libertyi and tram pling, to the dust the minions of the old and still dominant slave power." .

It will be seen by a . telegraphic dispatch, -elsewhere published, that the poet, Fitz Greene Halleck, died at Guilford, Canisci cut, on Tuesday night. He was borne at the same place, in July, 17p5,his mother being a decendantof Rev. John Eliot, known in history as a missionary among the Indians : of New England. A tew years before attain ing his majority, young Halleck removed to x New'York, and entered the banking house " of Jacob Barker, where he remained for many years For a considerable length of time prior to the decease .; of John Jacob Astor, Halleck was employed by that wealthy mer- chant, and so far gained his esteem as to ba named as one of the original truutees of the Astor Library, a position which he filled up to the time ot his death. During his early" days Mr. Halleck gave evidence of his poeti cal inclination in the production of several poems, a few of which were printed in the papers of that day - but'which the author did not Beem sufficiently, meritorious to be in-j corp!orated' in ; the collected editions of his poems published in latter life. His lines to 1 "Twilight,"i the earliest in date of his col lected poenis, was printed in the New York Evenina Post in 1818: and in the following spring he assisted J. R Kim an Drake, a warm , personal friend, in the preparation of the huuorous ''Croaker" papers -for' that journal. The Death of Mr. Drake, in 1830, coinpelle I a conclusion of the series of papers, and Mr. Halleck commemorated the departure of his : beloved friend in a most touching postical effusion. In 1819 he produced an atnusiu : satire entitled "Fanny," written in the rneas- i tirt if Tl rr rnn'a F4rri .Tnon ' anil rrltirio? nrr the follle!, fashions, and public characteis of the day. The authorship ot this production,' as well as that of - several papers of the "Croaker," series, was not acknowledged h for a number of years, but finally they were ,! ,t; publtshefi in the collected editions of ; his: works, In 1822 he visited Europe, arid upon his return published an edition of poems, among which J Alnwick Castle,', ''Burns," and ' Marco Bozzaris," have acchieved the greatest popularity. The latter poem is fa miliarly known, throughout the whole coun try,' and more or less so, perhaps, in Euro -; peanj literary circles. His reputatiop, bow ever. xests mainly upon some of his poems published in earlier works: The authorship of the familliar poem, "The American Flag," has sometimes becnattributed both to Hat- eck and his warmr personal friend, J. Rodman Drake author, of the beautiful poem, '1 he Culprit Fay." . Mr. Halleck was accustomed in life to pay a yearly visit to New York city, where lor two or three weeks, he enjoyed the society of artists and the leading litera ry men of the nation, all of whom looked with pleasure to hi coming; and delighted to do the distinguish ed old man reverence. N ,PJ Willis, the brilliant but eccentric au tbor, deceased, was in life a great admirer of Mr. Halleck, and never failed to devote a column to an account of the literary reunions, which invariably occured on the occasion of his annual visits, The good old man has passed away 5 but from every school-house in the land the story of Marco . Bozzaris will be declaimed for centuries, and teachers will tell their pupils that, like the hero Of "One of the few, the immortal names; That are not born to die." ; ; Washington Chronicle, Busines on the Ohio and Chesapeake ca- nal is very much delayed on account of our insumciency ot water, 'i- f 4 -1 4 t' -' i.
