The proofs of loyalty are to he • the same as exacted in the Quartermaster s . Department. Mr. Edmunds introduced a bill repealing ihe admission of Georgia. The preamble states that the Legislature violated the Four teenth Amendment in not purging itself of members ineligible under the fourteenth arti cle, and violated both the Constitution and the principle upon which reconstruction is found ed in expelling the negroes. The bill re vives the military Governor and allows the present Constitution to. operate, subject to the pleasure of Congress, and that the Legis lature assemble there, and those who are in eligible under the fourteenth article be ex eluded, and that the federal courts have con- - current jurisdiction when one party swears justice cannot be had in provisional courts. The Judiciary Committee was directed to inquire whether removals of political disa bilities passed prior to the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, are now valid. Sumner’s resolution, congratulating the Spanish people, was passed. Cameron eulogized Thaddeus Stevens, and the Senate adjouined. In the House the committee on the revis ion of the laws was directed to inquire into the expediency of appointing a commission to make changes in the bankrupt laws, and to make the practice uniform. The difficulty appears to arise from certain district judges appointing general assignees, and whether the scope of inquiry covers proceedings of such assignees. Mr. Finney's death was announced.

The bill from the Military Committee, by Senator ‘Wilson, providing for the arming of the loyal militia of the Southern States, was up in the Senate on Monday, and elici ted a warm discussion, in which Wilson (chairman of the committee) had the hardi hood to declare that more men had been RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS. Senator Morton, on Monday last, intro duced the following bill, providing for the redemption in coin of the United States notes and national currency, and requiring national banks to redeem their notes in killed in the South since the close of the re bellion on account of political opinion than were slain at the battle of Gettysburg. The correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says: The bill was discussed not only inside but outside the Senate chamber, and some im portant revelations were made by eminent citizens of Louisiana now in this city. These gentlemen declared that Senators who fa vored the proposition to arm the negroes of Louisiana knew not the fearful crater over which their friends were being suspended. They state it as an unquestionable fact that at least 35,000 negroes in Louisiana, ontside of the city of New Orleans, have been ren dered desperate by. the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the promises made, but never kept by Bureau agents and other parties who desired to use the blacks for sel fish purposes. These negroes charge that they have been deceived, maltreated and cheated by the carpet-baggers, and they threa ten vengeance upon every Northern man. It requires all the prudence and persuasion their old masters and the conservative citi zens can command to keep and hold these desperate blacks in check, and it is appre hended that if arms be placed in their hands, oud the train be once fired, that the scenes of St. Domingo will be thrown in the shade, and that not a carpet-bagger will be left to tell the tale. Such is the condition of things in Louisiana, as reported by old residents fa miliar with the facts, and they deprecate the policy of allowing the freedmen arms. The Senatorial debate on the bill was regarded as an able one, the proposition being viewed by different Senators from different stand points. The speech of Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, on the proposition to punish the crime of holding office by persons ineligible under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, commanded the attention of the whole Sen ate and is pronounced an effort worthy the Senate in its better daps. Senators who dif fered with him in sentiment congratulated him upon having made a great speech. The correspondent of the Sun says: The speech of Senator Ferry this morning may be regarded as the first hearty response from any prominent member of the Radical party to General Grant’s famous declaration, “ Let us have peace.” Mr. Ferry took broad ground in favor of a complete and absolute wiping out of all the political disabilities now imposed upon the Southern people, and did not hesitate to assure his associates that such an act of clemency could not only be safely performed, but that its inevitable tendency would be to restore harmony and fraternal feeling. Mr. Ferry was listened to with great attention, but his remarks struck too much at the very base of Radical supremacy to meet with much favor. It is a matter of regret that the assertion is warranted that he is without doubt the only Senator of his party who fa vors the immediate removal of these unjust political disabilities. The Fighting in Calm. [Havana Correspondence N.'Y. World, Tec. 7.] Early on the 1st instant, the Spanish war steamer Venaditto arrived at Nnevitas from Manati, with a number of wounded soldiers of Colonel Lono's column, and on the 2d left for Baga, to bring back from there the wounded men of Count deVahnaseda’s com mand. These, according to Spanish accounts, amount to three officers and forty men, the killed being also given as amounting to four officers and sixteen men- These figures, I have good cause for saying, are much too low. Not 100 will cover the Count's loss in killed and wounded. That of the insurgents is undeniably much larger. Major-General Gaspar Agueroy Betancourt, their leader, as you know, the Marquis da Santa Lucia and Colonel Castillo are all three claimed by the Spaniards to have been killed. The Cuban accounts deny the report as far asit concerns the -Marquis de Santa Lucia, but admit the death of General Aguero and Colonel Castillo. The first, it seems, sud denly found himself during the engagement near the station of Las Minas, with but eigh teen men, surrounded by more than one hundred Spaniards. The whole crowd sur rendered, and General Aguero was immedi ately taken before Count de Yalmasedn. Fully aware that death was his only lot, the General drew a knife which he had kept con cealed on his person, and with it endeavored to stab the Count, but was killed before he could do so. Colonel Castillo was slain in the fight of the 28th, and his body removed to his Santa Isabel estate, situated on the same dirt road that was followed by the Span ish troops, apd was found by them on the next day reposing in the hammock. Affairs in Spain.—The Republican insnr reetion at Cadiz, as baa already been an nouneed by telegram, has terminated m a surrender to the military officers of the pro visional government, thns avoiding a bom bardment and bloodshed. It remains to he Seen what effect this will have on the Repub licans in other parts of Spain, who appear to consider the declaration, in advance of the meeting of the Cortes, that the Spaniards are in favor of ft monarchy as gratuitous and of fensive. In the meantime the agitation crea ted by rival factions would appear to be in creased by the reported preparations of the Carlists in Lower Arrngou for a revolt. The dethroned Queen still has her adherents, though perhaps her influence is more likely to be°felt in intrigues |to promote strife and discord, hoping to benefit ultimately by the distractions of the country than by any open display of force. The confidence thus far reposed In the patriotism of Qen. friffi, the master-spirit of the revoiution, has been sha ken by his 7 despotic decree on the enforce ment of discipline in the army. There are rival agencies behind the scenes, Napoleon and Bismarck, who are interested in the re sults, and the conflicting under-currents of whose influence may be adding to the general confusion.—Baltimore Sun. Murder Made Easy.—The court in New Albany, Indiana, has refused to entertain the AlUallj) _ . charge of murder in the first degree against Mrs. Morton, who shot one Moore dead in his tracks. She alleges that she killed Moore because he had written letters' to her con taining insulting propositions. She does not produce the letters, however. If she did, we do not see what defence they would form for murder. According to this ruling of an In diana court, all a woman who wishes to take the life of a man has to do is to decoy him into a private room, and after shooting him dead, say he insulted her. “Murder made easy is the doctrine all over the United States present.—Few York Express at FROM RICHMOND.

Accident on the Savannah and Augusta Railroad.—The day train .on this road did not arrive here until last ni »ht at_ a quarter to eight o’clock—more than two hours, later than the schedule time. The deky was oc casioned by the train's encountering two rafts placed across the track below Waynesboro, which caused the engine to run off and put them behind time before it- could be replaced. No casualties reported.—Augusta Chronicle. - - — a— The Emperor of Austria, the King of the Belgians, and President Johnson sent their expressions of condolence to the Roths child family on the occasion of Baron James death. the com: Be il enacted, &c., That hereafter there shall be no sales of gold belonging tc the Treasury of the United States, and that the surplus gold now in the Treasury, and that which may hereafter accrue, over and above the amount required to pay the interest on the mblic debt, and for other specified uses by aw, shall be reserved and set apart for the redemption of the United States notes and fractional currency. 2. That on and after July 1, 1871, the Treasurer of the United States shall pay in coin, at the Treasury of the United States, at Washington and at such other points as may be designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, all United States notes and frac tional currency that may be presented for re demption. 3. That on and after January 1, 1872, the national banks shall pay in coin such of their notes ns may be presented for redemption, and shall, on and after July 1, 1870, reserve and hold in their vaults all the coin that may be received By them as interest on their bonds held by the Government for the redemption of their notes. 4. That nntil January 1, 1872, at which time they are required to begin the redemp tion of thejy notes, the national banks shall keep and hold in their banks the full reserve of legal tender notes, as now required by law; and that on and after that time the reserve of legal tender notes, as fast as withdrawn, shall be replaced with coin to a like amount; and the said banks shall hereafter be required to hold a reserve in coin, to the like amount, and for the same purposes as now required by law to be held in legal tender notes: Pro vided, That the Comptroller of the Currency may, with the assent of the Secretary, allow said banks to hold a portion of said reserves, not exceeding two-fifths of the amount re quired by law, in United States notes. 5. That the Secretary of the Treasury may cause so many of the United States notes that may be redeemed under the provisions of this act to be cancelled as may in his judgment be necessary to the proper limitation of the currency: Provided further, Tlmt/ill fractional currency that may be redeemed shall be can celled. 6. That on and after January 1, 1872, the United States notes shall cease to be a legal tender in payment of debts, but shall be re ceivable in payment of Government dues, as now provided by law. 7. That the Secretary of the Treasury shall have the power to negotiate and sell bonds of the United States, payable in thirty years, and redeemable at the pleasure of the Govern ment after ten years, hearing interest at the rate of—per cent, principal and interest payable in gold, to such an. amount as may be necessary to bring into operation the pro visions of the second section of this act A GENERAL DELIVERY OF PRISON ERS. The late decision of Judge Underwood in the case of Caisar Griffin is beginning to pro duce a state things in Virginia threatening to the best interests of society. It has been al ready mentioned that the decision in the case of Griffin has been followed up by the dis charge of the colored convict, Sally Ander son, sentenced to death for arson. The ground of this discharge was, that one Jus tice of the County Court which sentenced the convict, was disqualified by the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution pf tjie United States, and that the disqualification of one annulled the whole proceedings, though there might have been a competent court without him. His Honor availed himself of the occa sion to repent his laudation of the clemency of the United States government in not hang ing somebody after the late war, though what that had to do with the proceedings on hand he did not vouchsafe to point cut, The sen timental jurist also gave it as his opinion that “it was far better for one of the feebler i ace and feebler sex to escape the extreme sen tence of the law than lawless usurpation should be made valid.” Attorney General Bowden remarked in his speech on the trial, that under Judge Under wood’s decision jn tlje Ctesar Griffin case, there are only two judges in the State of Vir ginia competent to hold a point, and that he might go ont into the street and shoot a man down without fear of punishment. Since the 28th day of July last, when the fourteenth amendment was declared to have become a pnrt of the constitution, one hundred and fifty-nine convicts have beon received into the Virginia penitentiary, five of whom were convicted of mnrder, and j^ll of whom Judge Underwood has tbo power to turn loose upon the community. It is stated that writs of habeas corpus afe being now prepared for bringing several of these gentlemen before Judge Underwood, au4 ft general jail and penitentiary delivery YOVflfl appear to be only dependent upon the leisure of the judge to give attention to the various caseB. The Richmond press invoke the authority of Gen eral Stoneman to arrest and imprison the criminals whom Underwood is turning loose npon society.—-Baltimore Sun. Ex-President Pierce .
