The bill extending suffrage in the District of Columbia was discussed. In the House, Mr. Conklin introduced a series of resolutions proposing the re-estab- lisliment of Federal relations with the late rebellious communities, on condition of ab solute renunciation of the doctrine of seces sion, repudiation of the Confederate debt of all kinds, and maintaining that the adoption nf such measures will release the Govern ment of the necessity of maintaining stand ing armies in the South, &c.

[second despatch.] Washington, Jan. 17—The credentials of Wm. Abraham, Senator elect from North Carolina, were presented to-day and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Dooliltle made a speech in support of the President's reconstruction policy. The House rejected by a very large vote a bill incorporating the National Proteciion Com pany. Tiie bill proposed grants a charter to a company with $3,000,000 capital, whose object is to provide homes iu the South lo settleis, without distinction of color. Negro suffrage in the District of Columbia was discussed to-day. Napoleon Devising Plans for tlie Withdrawal of his Troops from Mexico. NEW York, Jan. 16.—The steamer Borussia has arrived. Her news has bec-n anticipated. The Herald's special letter says the Emperor and Council are studying the means to withdraw the French troops from Mexico with as little loss of prestage as possible- The Emperor does this with his own lree will, and not under menace. INAUGURATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF IOWA. Chicago, Jan. 16.—Gov. Stone, of Iowa, was inaugurated on Monday last. He op poses the acts of the President, but desires him to go further in favor of negro suffrage. He is opposed to the admission of the Sou thern Stales until the people shall have aban doned the offensive theory of State sover eignty. PROPOSED INCREASE OF THE REVE NUE TAX ON COTTON. A proposition having been made iu ' Con gress, by Mr. Morehead, of Pennsylvania, to increase the internal revenue lax upon Southern cotjon from two to ten cents per pound, the New Yoik Times characterises the measure as one which should not be sanctioned. The Times thinks that the im position of such a tax on cotton would be extremely damaging to the national inter ests, and adds: ‘•It would make the growing of cotton in this country for foreign markets a matter of the greatest uncertainty, tor in the course of a few years it would almost surely give our rivals" the advantage of us. When cot ton could be profitably raised and marketed at from six to twelve ceuts a pouua, we bad virtually a monopoly of the chief markets of Europe, and this country was consequently enriched beyond measure. We have now competitors who need not be considered dan gerous in the long run, as things now stand, or as they are likely to be under favoring auspices and wise legislation. But an addi tion of eight or ten cents a pound to the pre sent price of raising and marketing would give them just the vantage that they need, and wouid in time shut us off entirely irom foreign markets. Instead of repressing the raising of cotton by such ruinous taxation, every possible en couragement should be given to its enlarge ment. The old planters should be encour aged to resume labor on the free basis; the Northern men who have gone South to en gage iu plauting should be encouraged in their new enterprize, and the negroes should be encouraged to raise cotton on their little patches. What with the industrial disorgan ization under which the old planters suffer, the inexperience under which Northern men suffer, and the crudeness of the efforts of the negroes, if a tax be laid such as now pro posed, it will just about crush everybody at tempting to raise cotton iu the South.” We entirely concur iu the views of the edi tor of the Times. It remains to be seen whether cotton, heretofore the great staple of the South and the basis ot the exchange upon which a vast amount of the foreign commerce of the North was conducted, can be raised by the old plauters and inexperi enced Northern men. with “labor on the free basis,” to such an extent as to enable Ameri can cotton to bold the monopoly even ot our home market. Until that problem is fairly tested it would be unwise to impose addi tional burthens on the cotton producer. When the product of the “little patches” ap pear in the markets, it will be time enough to give the freedmen their first lesson in tax ation. New York Market. New York, Jan. 17.—Cotton is steady.— The sales to-day have been 3,800 bales at 51 to 52 cents. Gold closed 140. Tiie Test Oath.—Mr. Lincoln's Attorney- General, Hon. Edward Bates, of Missouri, publishes a letter iu the Missouri Republi can, in which he gives bis opinion of the odious Congressional test oath. He says : Test oaths, odious, oppressive, and cow ardly always, are always the resort of despe rate parties who (as violent as timidity can make them) seize upon this method to weak en their adversaries, whom they are afraid to meet in tair and open controversy. It was of frequent occurrence during the French revolution, and one remarkable in stance has been preserved for our instruction by the great historian of that epoch. The two legislative councils—The Ancients and the Five Hundred—imputing to their advei- r-aries the crime of Royalism, hoped by an adroit trick to get rid of their presence iu the councils and their influence with the people. And so in the forged name ol Re publicanism they decreed that all the mem bers ot the councils should, on a certain day, take an oath of hatred to Royalty. The op position, quite as good Republicans, in fact, as their hypocritical oppressors resisted, as best theycouln, complained and protested, but as they took the oath—for they had no notion oi deserting their place iu the Government, and-thus leuviug their unprincipled adversa ries unresisted to work out their wicked will in the misgovernment of the country. And the philosophic historian dismisses the subject, with this brief remark ; “This for mality of an oath, so frequently employed by parties, never could be considered as a guarantee ; it has never been anything but an annoyance ot the conquerors, who have taken delight in forcing the conquered to perjure themselves.” Justice—that was the craft policy of the French Revolutionary radicals—and our revolutionary .radicals do but follow their example. Aulfwe may indulge the hope that the reign of onr radicals will be made as brief as that of their great examples, and by the same caudjs—their lollies and their crimes. The despatch from Washington say that about thirty commanders of vessels destroy ed by the Alabama* have already been sum moned as witnesses for the Government m the-approaching trial of Semmes. Tlie French Invasion of Mexico. The President on Wednesday also sent to the Senate a message, in compliance with a resolution respecting the occupancy by the French troops of the republic of Mexico aud the re-establishment of a monarchy there, enclosing a report from the Secretary of State and the documents by which it was accompanied. The documents are very voluminous, commencing as far back as March 25, 1864, and ending with De cember 4, 1865. First is a letter from Mr. Dayton to Mr. Seward, communicating the fact that the ne gotiation for a loan in behalf of Maximilian as Emperer of Mexico had been completed on favorable terms, and that he would soon sail for Mexico. » Mr. Seward, under date of April 7, 1864, informs Mr. Dayton of the condition of af fairs in Mexico, as fully as it was understood in Washington, by enclosing him the copy of a communication from our Consul at Matamoras. Mr. Seward, in a letter to Mr. Bigelow, September 6,1865,in reply to a letter from the latter discussing at large the present aspect of tlie relations between the United States and France as tlipy are affected by the situa tion in Mexico, says : The intense popular interest which was awakened by the prevalence of a civil war of vast proportion during a few years past has tended in some degree to moderate the solicitude which the situation of foreign af fairs was calculated to create. But that in terest is now rapidly subsiding, and it may be reasonably anticipated that henceforth tho Congress of the United States, and the peo ple in their primary assemblies will give a very large share of attention to questions of an extraneous character, and chief among these is likely to be that of our relations to wards France with regard to Mexico; nor does it seem unwise to take into considera tion the fact that the presence of the milita ry forces of the two nations sometimes con fronting each other across the border has a tendency, which both of them may well re gret, to produce irritation and annoyance.— The French government has not shown itself inattentive to this inconvenience hitherto, while this Government has been desirous to practice equal prudence. But a time seems to have come when both nations may well consider whether the paramount interests of international peace and friendship do not re quire the exercise of a thoughtful and seri ous attention to Hie political questions to which I have thus adverted. Mr. Seward, in a letter to Minister Bige low, dated Dec. 14, 1865, says: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of November 24. While it is very interesting, it seems to discourage an ex pectation on our part of the early withdrawal of the French force from Mexico. It is to be remembered, however, that the opinions on that subject which you have received from M. Druyn d’Lhuys were expressed by him not only without the positive sanction of the Emperor, but also in the absence of knowledge on the part of the French Gov ernment, of the definitive conclusion of the President on the subject discussed. It is de sirable to leave no part of those conclusions open to misapprehension, and it is equally desirable that we shall be authorized to infer that such expositions of the imperial views as are given us iu tlie name of the French Government are made with the Emperor's approval. I trust that both these ends will have been accomplished before you receive this despatch. The despatches include letters from the French Legation with reference to Mexican refugees in New York and Washington pre paring a movement iu favor of Juarez, the first one as far back as July, 1865. Quarterly Expenditures. —The following were the grosse xpenditures oi the Govern ment for the - quarter ending December 30, 1865 : Internal revenue $1,710,484 Diplomatic 38S.437 Loans,. 186,692,960 Salaries ns,R77 Treasury proper 3,S35,48i Interior 913,663 Customs ••••.,.. 2,834,098 War Department 72,788,605 Navy Department 16,783,773 Interior Departmentflndian and Pensions) 2,678,116 From Soatb America. Later news from Chili, Peru and the other South American republics, was brought by the steamship New York, which arrived at New York on Friday, from Aspinwall on the 1st inst- The New York brought six hund red and eighty-five thousand dollars in spe cie, and among tier passengers was Mr. Robinson, our late Minister to Peru. No additional exciting event in the war between Chili and Spain had occurred. The Spanish admiral still kept up his blockade of certain ports of the republic, aud the Government of the latter was quietly prosecuting its war preparations. The Chilian fleet was yet at sea, and had not been heard from since its brilliant exploit, iu which one of its vessels, the Esmeralda, captured the Spanish steamer Covadonga; but it was expected soon to ap pear at some important point. A party of eighty Chilians in boats attempted to cap ture a Spanish vessel in the harbor of Co- quirubo, but failed through dallying over the matter too long. In Peru, Prado, the new President, had so far been unmolested by any new revolution, and was proceeding with his work of retrenchment and reform A declaration of war against Spain and alii ance with Chili was looked for from the Peruviau Government. Little of importance had occurred in any of the other republics, all of them enjoying an unusual freedom from revolutionary disturbances. Oar Claims on England. The New York Herald of Friday last pub lishes in full the important diplomatic cor respondence between Minister Adams and Ear] Clarendon, the British Foreign Minister, on the subject of the Shenandoah's ravages In this correspondence all the circumstances leading to, and arising out of the depredations of the Anglo-rebel cruisers are discussed by Mr. Adams with exhaustive minuteness and great ability, and some new facts are brought forward with telling effect. Earl Clarendon’s replies consist mainly of the arguments ad vanced by his predecessor (Earl Russel), and are chiefly remarkable for the concluding sentences, in which he closes the correspond ence, lest it should “introduce acrimony he tween this country and the United Slates,” and asserts that “no armed vessel departed during the vvtrr from a Briti-h port to cruise against the commerce ot the United States;” but that, ou the contrary, the obligations of a neutral were “steadily and honestly dis charged by the Government.” Tlie Negro Suffrage Question in tlie Dis trict of Columbia- A Washington letter of the 10th inst says The promise of radical legislation in botli Houses to-day, upon negro" suffrage in the District of Columbia, called out a very con siderable representation in the galleries of the coming electors. Our colored brethren were scattered about very promiscuously in the ladies' and gentlemen’s galleries, and were amicably ailowed to sandwich them selves between the paler occupants of the highest and most aristocratic degree. The thirsty aspirants for suffrage did not manifest the vaguest idea of how the Congressional tide of their affairs was tending; but we ob served that they viewed with especial adula tion, in the Senate, every movement and ar ticulation of their champion from the “Hub.” House bill No. 1—that striking out the word “white” from the election laws of the District of Columbia—came up for consider ation to-day, and Messrs. Wilson, of Iowa, Boyer, Schofield and Kelley, of Pa., spoke at "considerable length upon it. The "gal leries were tolerably well filled with ex ! pectant negroes of both sexes and all sizes. A delegation from the shoe black brigade, ac coutered iis their profession directs, excited considerable discussion upon the propriety of increasing the privileges of the colored race- By their persistent efforts to enter the gallery set apart for the Diplomatic Corps, Mr. Boyer, Democrat, protested against sad dling upon the people of this District a mea sure which is repudiated by a majority of the Northern constituencies as a disgrace ot the elective franchise. Mr. Schofield bid a sort of defiance to the President. He did not fear Mr. Johnson would follow the terrible example of Tyler aud Fillmore. If he did be was the only man who would be hurt by it. He vrould pass iDlo oblivion as dark as that which covers the above named unfortunates, while the rank and file of “the” great party would stand as before like a rock between the oppressed and the oppressor. The peo ple of this District do not anticipate this bill will pass. If it docs many of the more peaceably disposed will emigrate, knowing, as they do, the extreme facility with which election rows are gotten up here. C. V.

Papers Presented to Congress Relative to Trials in the South by Military Com missions.—Among the papers presented to the Senate on Wednesday from the Bureau of Military Justice, relative to recent trials in the South by military commissions, are those detailing the proceedings in the case of Ed ward W. Andrews, of Orangeburg, South Carolina, now serving out a sentence of two years' imprisonment, for killing a negro, charged with stealing his horses. Judge Holt, to whom a petition of two hundred citizens or South Carolina for his pardon, endorsed by the Governor, was referred, says that their very numbers furnished additional grounds tor the enforcement of this inade quate sentence- It shows to be so deeply seated and so widely spread the feejing of deadly hatred to the black race among those who so lately held that race in abject bond age, and the" will tfi see them crushed with out a protest or remonstrance so strong and ready, that the government is imperatively called ou to carry out, with the utmost resolution and sturnness of purpose, unde terred by pretended signs of penitence, every measure having for its ohject the protection of this helpless people, which the overthrow of a treasonable war against human freedom throughout the world has placed under its almost exclnsive guardianship. In the case of C. C. Rice and John M. Brown, of Georgia, imprisoned for the mur der of a freed woman, the Judge Advocate General opposes a similar appeal for Exe cutive clemency. The documents also include records in the case of J. L. McMullen and Neil McGill, tried before a military commission at Wil mington on the charge of murder, violation of the laws of war, &c., &c., and senteno d to be banged. The members of the commis sion, however, with one exception, united in recommending them to clemency, which pa per was forwarded by General Rugei, com manding the' military department of North Carolina, whose approval accompanied the document. The members of the Senate and House of Commons of North Carolina, with many influential citizens, petition for Exe cutive clemency in their behalf, many of the petitioners being ladies. The Judge Advo cate General, alter careful study of the re cords, does uot see that any new views are presented, and does not advise Executive clemency in the premises. • The Monroe Doctrine.—In the House of Representatives, on Friday last, Mr. Bran- dagee offered the following resolution, Which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs: Resolved, That in the name of the people of the United States, and in the language of President Monroe, in his Message of Dec. 2d, 1823, we hereby declare that we consider any attempt on the part of any European power to extend its system to any portion of this hemisphere, as dangerous to our power T" 1 and safety, I stitching neatly donfe.
