BY TELEGRAPH — TO — THE MORNING NEWS. FROM WASHINGTON. The Question at the Admission of Oar Senators—Clift Heard from—Bulloch end Blodgett Want Further Recon struction. ■Washington, December 7—Noon.—Both Houses organized this morning. The case of Christie and Wimpey, con testants from the Sixth Congressional Dis trict of Georgia, was referred to the Election Committee. The oredentials of H. V. M. Miller and Joshua Hill, Senators from Georgia, were np in the Senate. The Clerk is reading a memorial of the negroes who were expelled from the Georgia Legislature. Menard, who claims to succeed Mann as Senator from Louisiana, palpably a man of color, is on the floor of the House. Washington, December 7—Evening.—The Snpreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Chase, Attorney General Evarts attending, visited President Johnson to Jay. The Su preme Coart had a fall Bench, except Judge Greer. The discussion of the Georgir Senatorial question was warmly sustained to-day. Mr. Hill's oredentials were only presented. Mr. Miller will probably require the removal of his political disabilities, and it was thought best not to compUcate Mr. Hill's credentials. The Republican party are divided on this question. Messrs. Ackerman, Baird, Speer, and other members of Congress from Georgia, (except Clift,) urge Mr. Hill's admission. Bullock and Foster Blodgett, supported by J. W. Qlift, are urging the delay of the matter. The Commissioner of. Internal Kevenue will, during the week,-transmit to the Presi dent his resignation; to take effect at the close of the present month. It appears that Menard, negro, is here withont credentials from the Governor, as stated in the noon dispatches. The col ored Library Association addressed a note to Menard urging him to make no effort for a seat, as it would certainly Tesnlt in general dissatisfaction. The weather is bad and the telegraph n ortii- ward works very slow. T Bullock, of Georgia,: addressed a communi cation to Congress, representing that the laws of Congress under which Georgia has been admitted into the Union were not frilly complied with, and holding that until such compliance was made, the government of the State must continue provisional The failure to comply with the law lies in failing to exact from the officers elected the oath prescrib ed by Congress, and administering- instead that provided by the proposed Georgia Con- Etitntion, which failed to execute the law of Congress, has resulted in the defeat of the purposes which Congress held in view in passing these acts, namely, affording ade quate pqtfctjqi} for life and property, main tenance of pen'oel good order and the free ex pression of politicSTopinion. -Bullock states that the wisdom-displayed by Congress in providing thnt only loyal men should partici pate is the establishment of the provisional government to he thereafter clothed with all the rights and immunities of a State, is mads apparent by the consequences arising from a failure to enforce that" legislation. He calls tha attention of- Congress to this subject to the end that steps be taken to obtain full in formation in relation thereto, and to the end that loyalty may be protected and promoted by the enforcement of- 'Hie laws enacted by the representatives of the American people. In the House one hundred and sixty-four members were ^present." Several new mem bers were swom irr after proceeding. It was reported at noon that the credentials of Mr. Hamilton, had ^een referred to the Oqmmit^e qnBriviiegft!!... ®fe® Boor was re fused to Hamilton. Bending the decision, some- half dozen hills, amendments to the Constitution-, pro- vjding forregulations in voting qffd n*hural- ip States, were'presented and referred to appropriate, committees, and the Judiciary Committee directed to enquire what opening up the whole question,- were read, when the matter, was postponed to Wednes day." - - ‘ Bice, ofArkansasyintroducedabillrequesting the Secretary of War to deUver to the Govern ors of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas, at their respective seats of government, as many arms for the militia as the Governors may require, not exceeding two thousand rifles and two field pieces for each Congres sional District. These arms must go into the hands of loyal men, bat remain the property and be subject to the order of Congress. Several financial, naturalization and suf frage bills were introdneed. Adjourned. The certificate of a division in the United States District Conrt for Virginia, was filed in the Clerk’s office of the Snprqfne Conrt to day. The appointed committee to wait on the President, reported that the message will be transmitted at one o’clock on Wednesday. The committee on reconstruction were in structed to examine into Georgia affairs, with power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Mullins introduced a bill by which to suppress the Ku Klux by National authori ty, and declaring members of that organiza tion outlaws, which was referred to the Judi ciary Committee. Mr. Tift presented a memorial from the Georgia Legislature asking the removal of political disabilities of all citizens. Beferred to Reconstruction Committee. Mr. Kellogg, of Alabama, introduced a biU to improve Mobile harbor. Referred to Com mittee on Commerce. A bill was introduced providing for an elec tion in Virginia in January. Referred to Re construction Committee. A preamble and resolution repealing the tenure-of-office bill was tabled. Several Blast- Revolutions In Full Esrtbquske, Ac.

The Brownsville Sentinel says that Vargas' men are committing atrocious outrages in Senora. Diaz, formerly an officer under Qhiraga, has pronounced against the State Government of Merva Leon in favor of Qui- raga. The citizenB of Monterey are much alarmed, news having been received that Qoiraga is near. A forced loan of $5,000 has been imposed. Bostiqne is reported to have crossed the Rio Grande with men armed and ammunition. The States of Qnerjtnro and Julisco are reported again, in revolution. Lasada is reported to be in command of fif teen thousand men, and expecting a pronnn- ciamento from Marquez.

A mountain near commenced eruption. Cortinas resumed his march has tily. The inhabitants of San Luis Potosi fear that a new volcano is abont to break out near that point, the air being full of ashes and smoke, and the earth shaking with sub terraneous noise.

A. J. Grover, Esq., who furnishes the fol lowing interesting and valuable account of a long conversation with Judge Chose, is one of the most respectable and influential members of the bar of Illinois, formerly of Massachu setts. His statements cannot but command the deepest attention in every part of the conntry. Peteuseubo, Va., November 24, 1868. Editors of the Revdidion: I came fromWashington to Aquia Creek on the same boat and occnpled the same seat in the care yesterday with Chief Justice Chase. Introducing myself as an attorney from Illi nois, and a member of the bar of his court, I drew him into conversation by- interrogations upon a variety of national questions. I found him very talkative indeed, and-willing to ex- f ress his opinions upon most subjects which introduced. In regard to impeachment, he said Johnson was probable impeachable, and when to caUed to preside over the high court which was to try him, he hoped and-expected that it would conduct itself in a becoming manner, and with that dignity and judicial decorum which ought always, and had always heretofore, characterized great State trials, but that the Senators occupied their seats in stead of being seated on the right and left of the presiding judge os the supreme judges and as other Senates have done in the trial of impeachments; that Senators did not conduct themselves like judges, but read newspapers, wreffe letters, and railed at Johnson, as John son had railed at the Senate; that they de nounced Johdson as the greatest criminal of the age during the trial, when that was the very question which they had sworn impar- * tially to try; that sitting ns a Senate they made the rules by which to govern and con duct the trial,' when aU this should have been deferred until after the organization of the court; that bad the trial been conducted with due regard to formalities and usages becom ing to grave and reverend Senators sitting as judges in such a case, that whatever bad been the judgment reudered, the moral effect would have been favorable. Ha said that ar ticles might have been drawn under which Johnson would probably have been convict ed; that the reason why such articles were not presented was that certain men high in office and in the Republican party were as deep in the mud as Johnson was in the mire; that Mr. Stevens confessed this was the fitet. In reply to a question, Mr. Chase said that he did not regard General Butler as the ablest of the impeachment managers; that Butler bad great intellectual power, but was a good deal of an Old-Bailey lawyer; that Wilson of Iowa or Mr. Bingham were Butler’s superiors as sound lawyers and statesmen. He said that he did not believe the stories abont the personal dishonesty of Butler; that nothing affecting his personal integrity had ever come to his knowledge while acting os Secretary of the Treasury. Speaking of General Grant, Mr. Chase said, Now you have got your President, what are you goiug to do with him? I replied, better inquire “what he is going to <j° with us?” adding, “Is he in sympathy with the Repub lican party on negro suffrage?" Mr. Chase said, I don’t know anymore about General Grant than you do. I do not think he is per sonally in favor of negro suffrage, but I do not think he will oppose the wishes and acts of the party. He thought General Grant was a man of great practical judgment in milita ry matters. He did not agree with those who asserted that he was merely a fortunate man. Would take a rebel general for President if he had repented. Sudden conversions, he would admit, were to be distrusted; they might be unlike.St. Paul's in every other re spect. He preferred the financial part of the Democratic platform to the Republican plat form in that respect. Said it would be repu diation to insist upon paying the five-twen ties issued under the act of February, 1862, in greenbacks. I told him' that I wrote tbe fourth resolution of the Republican platform, against repudiation. He said that is a good resolution. He said he was opposed to con solidating the national indebtedness into a long loan. Was in favor of paying the debt as quickly as possible, in gold. The people will pay np the debt or repudiate it If the bonds were to be changed, he was in favor of a short loan. Did not care whether the new bonds were exempt from taxation or not It would make no real difference to the people. That taxation wonid necessarily increase the rate of interest if the bonds remained in the country. Taxation and low interest would drive the bonds out of the canntiy, and thus drain off all the specie. Was in favor of a return to speaiq. payment No need of di minishing the volume or changing the char acter of the currency to effect this. In reply to a question, Mr. Chase said he was glad he was not nominated by tbe - Dem ocrats on the platform which they adopted. He could never have accepted a platform op posed to tbe rights of the negro. He did not say be would not like to be President. If he could have done so, would have been glad to have accepted the Democratic. nomination and stopped the crusade of the party qga,inst the negro. This would have beep a good thing for the whole pqmriry- Being on his way to Riobroqnc) td hold court; I asked him when he'expected to try Jeff. Davis. He re plied that be did not know when, Jeff Davis would be tried. That the Government had control of Jeff. Davis and was responsible for the delay. That ha bftd alwqys been ready to try him. He did pot. kpo,w why Davis hap been qllqweq to go off to Europe. I asked the Chief Justice what he thought of the proppsaci aipendipept to the Constitu tion to <mnfer equal .suffrage ppop the citi zens of pll the'tftates. He saiffhe had froth ing tq do with it, hut thought it wopld be as well tq leave that matter with the States, i expressed the hope that the word male as well os the word to/iife wonid be left out of the amendment if it should be submitted to th9 States for adoption. Mr. Chase said it could never pass Congress with theword mole left out He, personally, would be glad to see tbe experiment-of female suffrage fairly tried. I remarked that he was generally supposed [. to] be friendly. to the .^fdff£ri ! S right* (nove- menti He saicl ha certainly had no objec tions to female suffrage; that all of bis in stincts were Democratic, J Resuming the- greenback question, I asked why we could hot substitute greenbacks for the national bank currency; and thus save the wastage anfij' the ' interest on ’ tha bends deposited by ’the banks r Mr. Chase; replied that vvh ippaf^M^ haplw. 'tq Mteplate the greepbai&s, apd \imt tire national bank cur rency was really greenbacks. That be fried hard when the law was'before tho committee to have tbe wastage! qqcrpg tq th? govern ment, bht pppld pqi fee corpmUtee to re- pofl ihe hill with speh a p.ro,vision. Tlpit he tried to speure; the. wastage, to. the Govern- 1 rnent on the ope-clqlldp pates even, but failed in this, I^e said that so'rpany of the mem bers of Congress were interested in banking that it was impossible to, get what he .wanted; that no modification at' tho law curtailing the profits of the hatiqnal bankers could, bo passed for the same reaso.u. That many of the Republican ?ea4 er e ftfrd office-holders were corrupt and unprincipled men. That he had littlp confidence - ill the Republican party for this reason. The masses are honest, but the leaders are bad men. If the party succeeded in conferring suffrage npon tho negro, It would probably be tbe last of its acts for tbe benefit of the country. The party had been in power so long, bad men largely controlled it. Little can be expected of it in future. SShr The Chief .Tpstiee eefciua i;p, be very cheer ful and happy; notat’ all sour or morose, as he^"represented fone'by some of the Re publican papers. He appeared strong and vigorous in' health, anu does not seem to have grown-old qpjr diuipg the lpst twenty years. He reads" the finest type without glasses, walks with a 'brisk and elastic- step, jokes and laughs as heartily as when he was twenty' years' youngey, • % think. 4*1® tie able to stand '•«$( ’political disappointments whtoh may be in store far him, Bitch as he underwent in July last, and that be is likely to live long enough to he a candidate for tbe Presidency several times yet, and that the country is much more likely to get several worse before one better President than Chief Justice Chase would make. A. J. Grover. [From tlie Augusta Coustitution&lisL] An Excellent Word from the North. If we are not grossly deceived by the signs of tho times, wo can perceive a steady and beneficent promise of political modera tion in almost every quarter. Granting that these.symptoms are not illusory; and trusting- that no rude blasts of excessive hate or vengeance may bring them, if really existing, 'to an untimely end; we have fairer hopes of a more quiet destiny in the years to come.. It may be that tbe people are too far gone in corruption to become suddenly magnanimous; it may be that those who have thus far fat tened upon agitation will continue to stir the bell-broth -of discord; but it cannot be denied that, for the moment; there is a pause in -the storm, and that men’s minds seem whole somely bending to considerations of peace. We know that such desires prevail extensive ly in the South.. That they are not wanting in tbe North,- let this manly and masterly article from the New Haven (Conn.) RegisUr amply and feelingly testify:. “SECESSioklSTS—ABOLITIONISTS. “As time rolls OirtheF-real attitude of the Southern States towards their sister States before the war will be more perfectly under stood than it is now by tbe masses of the Northern people. In these days of passion and prejudice-probably not one man in a thousand understands tho real starting point of the-lnte calamitous civil war. It is be lieved that tbe South took up arms for the sole purpose of fighting the North and taking to themselves the government of the Union ! Yet the secessionists had no such thought in their minds. Writhing under realand fancied wrongs, and full of apprehension in regard to the future safety of their domestic institu tions, they grew fanatical upon the right qf peaceable secession. This right they believed to be constitutional, and they felt that if they were assailed by force of arms in its exercise, we would be the aggressora, and they would he simply acting upon the defensive. It was for this reason that they so long -hesitated before they advanced upon Pennsylvania or any Northern State. ‘Let us alone, and we will let you alone,’ was their motto, until they thought their existence depended upon a new position, that of the' offensive. When these facts afford no justification for the course of the South in attempting , to leave the Union without the consent of the North, they should, nevertheless, be remembered as a part of the history of tbe war, and ; they should inspire the victors in the contest with the more leniency towards tbe vanquished, and with more faith in their promises to come back to their allegiance as good and true men. “That wo are right in these views, wa give no less authority than that of Henry Clay, (a Southern man,) a great statesman, and a true Union man. He said in a letter to the New York merchants, in 1851, as follows: “The alleged right of secession is, I appre hend, sometimes confounded with the right of revolutions. But its partisans mean a totally. different thing. They contend that it is a peaceful, lawful, and if not constitutiona, remedy, that it is not forbidden by the Cbnstilu- tion. They insist that it is a State right, to be recognized a yd respected; and that when ever exercised by a State, far from being censured or condemned, the State, if necessa ry, is entitled to tbe co-operation of other /States.” “How few Northern men, even among th9 intelligent, understand this thing in this way. Instead of regarding their Southern brethren as deluded by a false theory, a wrong princi ple, they hold them to the responsibility of attempting an aggressive war upon u3, whereas they always insisted that they were only pro tecting themselves against our coercion—the constitutional right of which they denied. Mr. Clay showed that they were wrong, that secession was nothing less than revolution. But this does not affect. their motives or in- teutious. Yet, now that the war is over, their error in theory should not be treated as if they intended a destructive war upon us ! ‘‘Then it should be remembered that an or gan of no less influence than the New York Tribune, at the moment when the secession ists were deliberating upon tbeir right to withdraw peaceably from the Union, used the following language: ‘“If the Cotton States shall become satis fied that they -eon do better out of the Union than in.it, we insist npon letting them go in peace-' * * ‘We hope never to live in a republic whereof one keotiou is pinned to another by a bayonet.' “Such language as this, coming from such a source, bad a prodigious effect in pushing forward tbe sohemesof the secessionists. But Mr. Greeley was not alono in thus encourag ing the movements which resulted in the butchery of so many gallant men, North and. Sonth, and the loss of thousands of millions of treasure. Even Benjamin Wade, in his place in tho Senate in 1860, said: “ ‘I am not one of those who would ask them (the Sonth) to continue iu suoh a Union. You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union; for the attempt to qo so, it seems to - me, would subvert the fimt principles of the Gov ernment under which we live.’ “Is it not, then, cruel to put all the respon sibility of this civil war upon the excited Southern men, when we read such declara tions as these from the acknowledged organs of the Republican party, who, having led the secessionists into their terrible troubles, now, instead of frying to help them Putin the easiest way possible, seek to trample them underfoot, and otherwise degrade them! “But what say the aholitionists? They have not the poor excuse of the secessionists, for they do not pretend that their condnot is' ex cused by the Constitution! They declared that sacred instrument to be a “league with death and a covenant with hell! Wendell Phillips is not a voter, because he refuses to take the oath to support the Constitution. Yet Ithe secessionists, who were deluded, are persecuted unto death, while the mprQ guilty abolitionists are permitted tq hold the reins of government! Rut ju B ti.ee cannot be for ever deferred- Arrest of an Ex-Bbiqadieb General—Se rious Charges.—J. G. W. Marik, who com manded a colored regiment at. the close of the rebellion; was made a brigudi er *general by brevet, and afterwards appointed registry clerk in tbe New Orleans post-office, bas been arrested by Messrs. Robbs and Shallcross, special agents of the Post Office Department, and iridicted for purloining money order funds to the amount of $5,515. The ex- brigadier has given bail in the sum Of $10,000 and his trial is set fq? the 14th instant. Thu mfrriey alleged to have been stolen by him was sent durmg the ffrat quarter of the present year by the: postmaster ht Austin, Texas, in registered packages, addressed to the pqstmftatsf ul Hew Orleans, La. Soon after these, packages were, stolen General Mank went to Europa.fpr a brief visit, and upon his return was arrested by the special agent, who found upon him some portion of the missing money, consisting of national bank notes, of which accurate description had been kept by the postmaster at Austin, in conformity with the regulations of the department. insurance. The Perpetual Session of Congress Act. Senator Trumbull, in conversation to-day, expresssed the opinion that the act providing for a March session of Congress will net be repealed this wifrt er > notwithstanding all statements tq the contrary. Tho Senator considers (he piavision for such session to be very desirable, us it insures an early organ ization of the Eorty-first Congress, and is cal culated to cause all the States to hold con gressional elections ai an earlier day. As the laws of the different States now stand,, the elections take place at different seasons, so that there never is a full Congress till to wards' December.' It is thought tbe provis ion for a March session will cause a uniform time for suoh elections, so that a frill house may he prepared to meet and organize in March. It is not regarded as probable that any legislation will be entered upon, however, the idea being that the House will merely or ganize and then adjourn.—iV.' Y. Herald, 3d.
