The Savannah Daily Heraid. BY S. W. MASON. SAJICEL W. MASON, Editor, w. 1'. THOMPSON, Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE CITY AND COUNTY WEDESDAT, MARCH 1*, 18G6. taT See our supplement this morning for a variety of reading matter. THE OUESTION OF REPRESENTATION SETTLED. The passage of the concurrent resolution, ■which we announced a few days ago,exclud ing the southern States from representation in either House until Congress shall have de clared them entitled to representation, can not but be regarded as a triumph by the rad icals over the restoration policy of the Pres ident. The vote by which the resolution passed is the same as was the vote upon the President’s veto. This unauthorized as sumption of power settles the question lor the present, at least, and amounts to a form al declaration that the people of the south are still to be regarded as aliens and enemies to the government of the United StateB.— The painful evidence is thus presented that fanatical partizansbip has culminated in suc cessful opposition to the conservative senti ments of the President and his patriotic sup porters, in the face of the notorious truth and with the knowledge that the war had ended for nearly a year and that peace and order for the same period have prevailed throughout the length and breadth of the excluded States. For nine months past taxes have been due and payable in every south era State, the ports therein have been open ed to the commerce of the world under the same tariff of customs, and no higher tar iff has been exacted upon importa tions in the ports of Savannah or Charleston than in Boston or New York ; the right for one citizen to pass from one State to another, without let or hindrance, and to traffic with out toll or import wherever he pleased, has existed; the postal service and the right to send letters to all parts of the Union have been accorded without restriction. The judicial authority has received the submission of willing obedience, and yet the Radicals say the Union is not restored, and proceed to act upon this assumption despite the earnest expostulations of the President and the more conservative of their own par ty against the evils with which the cointry is threatened, by the schemes of a juntt) sit ting and plotting in secret, to which a party majority in Congress has assigned away its owu functions of independent thought aud action, aud whose behests it carries into ef fect by force of relentless and uureasonbg party drill. It seems, however, that in accordance will the tenor of the resolution just passed, atd by permission of the Reconstruction Com mittee, Tennessee is to he accorded the privil ege ot representation in the National Legis lature. Resolutions to this effect have been, vc reponeu u™ m o-™—u.,— Bine- \w, ham; but the conditions tberefn provided are as insulting as they *•'- anti-repulnican and unconstrttU' 1 ^'-*■ **• requires, in the first “ c ’ at State shall maintain ■T *l e8 f, nt constitution; and secondly, that she shall not app«ni *i. T " iuat r. »isc * raws which now disgrace her statute hooks. It will be seen from this that the committee relinquish no part of their dic tatorial power in this slight departure from their contemplated programme. The very act of Congress by which this State is to be restored to the Union will compel the pre sumption that it had ceased to exist. The constitution, which the resolution requires shall be maintained, expressly provides that the present Legislature of Tennessee shall arrange the whole franchise question, which legislation shall then be equivalent to an amendment of the constitution. The Legis lature have or will pass an act disfranchisin all who sympathized with the South in the late conflict, and the object of the condition in the resolution admitting the State is to per petuate the law and the consequent degrada tion of a large majority of its inhabitants. If Tennessee resumes her position in the federal household in accordance with this theory, it will seem to establish the doctirnc more firmly that the southern States are out of the Union and dependent upon congres sional action for their readmission. This scheme of reconstruction is so manifestly opposed to the well digested plan of the President, that in the event of its passage he will not hesitate to strike it dead with his veto. bodies the Wretched pretension of a white man's government; that it assumes, what is false in constitutional law, that color can be qualification for an elector; that it posi tively ties the hands of Congress in fixing the meaning of a Republican government, so that under the guaranty clause it will be con strained to recognize an oligarchy, aristo cracy, caste and monopoly, together with the tyrauny.of taxation witbont representation, as not inconsistent with such a government; that it positively ties the hands of Congress in completing and consummating the aboli tion of slavery in pursuance of the second clause ot the Constitutional amendment, so that it cannot for this purpose interfere with the denial of the elective franchise on ac count of color; that it installs recent rebels in permanent power over loyal citizens; that it shows forth in unmistakable character as a compromise of haman rights, the most im moral, indecent and utterly shameful of any in the history of the country. The reader will perceive that this formid able array of charges and specifications is made not so much against the obnoxious amendment as against the still more obnox ious people of the southern States, and that it serves to show the true animus of that most radical wing ot a radical party under the guidance of its bold and indomitable leader, Mr. Sumner.

CITY OF SAVANNAH, T Ofticz Clerk or Council, March 6,1866./ Arrival of the First Passenger Train over the Gulf Road.—The first passenger train over the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad since the rebuilding of the road arrived yes lerday evening. The train, which consisted of two passenger and several freight cars, left Thomasville on Monday night at about twelve o'clock, reaching the station in this city at about four o’clock yesterday. The number of passengers was large, probably over one hundred. The engine and cars were decorated with flowers and the trip was made a sort of jubilee occasion by the partic ipants. The return train through to Thomasville leaves this morning, and another one on Fri day, the schedule at present providing for a train only every other day. Daily trains will commence running at an early day, probably next week. Defeat of the Constitutional Amendment In Regard to Representation. The matter of chief importance and significance in Congressional proceedings on the 9th, was the Senate’s action on the proposed amendment to the Constitution excluding negroes from the basis of Congressional representation io aU States where they are not permit ted to vote, which was some time ago reported by the Reconstruction Committee and adopted in the House But little of consequeuce besides this matter received the Senate’s attention. Mr. Fessenden spoke at length in its support, and Messrs. Sumner, Wilson, Hen dricks, Yates, Cowan and others also spoke on it. The Senate then proceeded to vote on substitutes offered for the original amendment, including those of Messrs. Sumner, Henderson and Yates, all three of which, in different forms, provided for giving the negroes the elective franchise. All the substitutes were rejected, and then the question on the proposed amendment itself came up, and, failing to receive the required two- thirds in its favor, it was defeated. The vote was twenty-five in the affirmative to twenty-two in the neg ative. The nays present a queer mixture of Democrats aud Radicals. Another amendment in place of the <te- . l'eated one, basing representation on the number of Resolutions to this effect hfive been j voters, was offered by Mr. Doolittle. Its consideration was postponed till-Thursday next, and the Senate ad journed tail Monday—new rork Herald, 1 Oth. —A lady and gentleman were arrested at the White Rouse in Washington on Wednesday morning, charg 'd with cutting the curtains in the east room.

[Extract from tbe Registry Laws, pass ed 22d January, 1862-J Tobonto, March 12—The number of volunteers responding to the call of the government has largely exceeded the demand. An official military order has been published de nouncing the contemplated Fenian raid, and relying upon a successful resistance by the volunteers in esse of an invasion of the border. Proceedings of Congress, Washington, March 12.—In the Senate to-day Mr. Sherman presented the petition of a citizen of Colum- bis. South Carolina, asking indemnity for the loss of his house. Mr. Sherman read a letter from General Sherman alleging that Colombia was not fired by Fed eral authority, but by order of Gen. Wade Hampton. Gen. Sherman states that the town was on fire when he entered it. The petitioner was referred to the Committee on Claims. The bill to admit Colorado as a State in the Union was discussed. Mr. Sumner opposed the bill because of there being no provision in the Constitution to al low negro suffrage. | Extract from Ordinance passed Dec. 2T, 1866: Sec. 4.

ANOTHER SPEECH FROM MR. SUM NER. The loquacity of the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts is truly wonderful. It is as much a leading characteristic of his con gressional career as was the same expensive peculiarity in that of John Quincy Adams or Henry A. Wise. It was only a lew weeks ago that Mr. Sumner, in one of his talking moods, consumed two whole days in deliver ing an elaborate speech before the Senate against the constitutional amendment which provides that no part of a State’s population which that State disfranchises shall be counted as a basis of federal power. It filled, we believe, about twenty columns of tbe Con gressional Globe. At the conclusion of that almost interminable address the Senator re marked that, although he had spoken much to the subject under consideration, it was not exhausted; and that he should avail himself of the first opportunity to resume its discussion. True to bis promise Mr. Sumner, on the 7th inst., took up the thread of bis argument where he had dropped it on the previous occasion. In his opposition to this amendment be has been co-operating with Democratic and conservative Republican Senators to accomplish its defeat, not withstanding it is the favorite bantling of Mr. Stevens and a majority of his own party. He justifies his anomalous course by alleging in bis last speech, that the adop tion of the amendment which be opposes would result in tbe infliction cf a shameful wrong upon the negro. His arguments mav be briefly stated thus: That the proposed amendment carries into the Constitution it- nelf the idea of inequality of rights; that it is an express sanction of the acknowledged tyranny of taxation without representation; that it is a concession of State rights at a mo ment when the country^ recovering from a terrible war waged against it i n the name of State rights ; that it is the Constitutional re cognition of an oligarchy, aristocracy, caste aud monopoly founded on color; that’it ern- Special Notices.
