JOHN II. MARTIN - COLUMBUS: Thursday Morning, Dec. 21, 1865. WHAT CONGRESS WILL IK). • The report* from Waibioffton giro u* ▼erj litlTe encouragement to hope that the representative* from the Southern State* will be admitted to «eat» in Con* grew at an early day. It mny be that a few from Virginia will be admitted, but we 'have no expectation that any of the representative* of any cotton-growing State e**t of Louisiana will bo permitted to participate in the important work of the present session. The following speculations as to the action of Congress, we out from tbo Nashville Banner. If the several propo sitions alluded to are carried out. the North will have made great progress in tbo work of sectional aggrandizement be fore admitting the Southern members : It ia said that Senator Nye, of Nevada, is about to introduce a bill to disfranchise everybody in tho South, and thus strike a worse blow, if anything, against the President’* policy than Steven* has by bis resolution. Tho bill for a uniform national bank rupt law, introduced into the House by Jenckes, of Rhode Island, is the same one which has been presented by him for sev eral previous *es*ion*. He is the chair man of the special committee on that subject, and intend* to bring it before the House at an early day. It is a very elab orate document. The recommendations made by the Comptroller of the Currency in bis re port relative to ar. increase of the national revenue by a tax on cotton, tobacco, whisky, etc., rnet, it is said, with approval by a majority of the members of Con gress. Representative Garfield’s bill, introdu- red to facilitate commercial intercourse between the Stales, is in accordance with a paragraph in the annual message. It prohibit* a per capita tax by a Slate on jiassenger* by rail or boat, and looks to an air lire railroad between Washington and New York. Kepre.entative Wilson, of Iowa, intro duced a bill to reorganise the judicial system of the United States. The object of thia bill i* to perfect arrangements for tho trial of Jetl'erson Davie in the United States Circuit Court at Richmond, Va. The following i« Mr. Stevens’ resolu tion in the shape in wbich it passed both houses of Congress : Resolved, That a joint committee of fifteen shall be appointed, nine of whom shall he member* of the lloure, and the remainder of the Senate, who shall in quire into tho condition of the States whioh formed tho so-called Confederate Stales of America, and report whether they or any of them are entitled to be represented in either House of Congress, with leave to report by bill or otherwise. Judge Worrill# It will be seen by nn announcement mado elsewhere, that lion. K. II. Worrill is a candidate for re election a* Judge of tho Chattuhoochoe Circuit. Taking it for granted that the people of tho Circuit will again avail thcmftlvoi of tho opportunity of securing tho services of so able, expe rienced and incorruptible a jurist, wo congrntuluio them on the announcement. Judgo Worrill has long presided over the Superior Courts of this Circuit, and hah dispensed justico with *o firm and impar tial a hand at to win the confidence of the pooplo to nn ox tent rarely enjoyed by an officer holding such a position. Tho torm for which an election is to bo held in Jan uary will bo one requiring upon tho bonch just such a Judge as ho has proved him self to bo. Kxlonsi(ro and complicated litigation will probably grow out of the political convulsions which wo have ro- contly experienced, and a criminal code radically revised will have to be adminis tered. Judgo 'Worrili 1 * long exporionco and testod compelencoare a guaranty that bo will bu equal to tho occosion, and we do not doubt that the people will commit tho task with confidence to his hands. tbe A,,,ck News by Telegraph.

Tho trial ol Mr. Luby, tho proprietor of the Irish People nowspapor, was conclu ded on tho 2d insl. lie whs found guilty of treason, and sentenced to ponal servi tude for twenty year*. Other trials of Fe nians wero progressing at last accounts. The bill passed by the Legislature at Its recent Mission, to cnttblo the treasurers of tho soveral counties of the St a to to raise funds for tho payment of tho indebtedness of tlioir counties, authorizes tho issuing of county bond* maturing within three years, at seven per cent, inteicst.

Tho report which wa* current a short time sinco that "corked-up” Butler was to suoccoed General Terry in command of the troops in Virginia seems to have created quite n lively panic in that State, Tho feeling created may bo judged by the following resolution which was introduced by Mr. Iluri-t, «>f Norfolk, into the Leg islature of that Stale: AVhereas. It is currently reported and generally believed, that the celebrated lludibraitic General, B. F. Butt or, is about to take charge of this military de- paclment with powers extraordinary; tkrmfwre. Resolved. That whatever money may remain in the St«te Treasury be immedi ately divided among the widow* and or phans of deceased soldiers, and couriers be dispatched to tho various counties request ing tho peoplo to tecrcle or bury their plate. of oight miles, on which the iron ha* boon torn up and removed bv tho Unitod States military authorities. This will require an outlay of money, which should bo borrow ed, so as not to interfere with tho finances of tbe road until tho bridge* aro paid for. Tho exponsos of working tho road will increase in conaequenco of the largo num ber of ties and amount of wood m w be ing put on tha road, a* will tho increase in tho number of guards and watchmen to protoct the property and merchandise shipped ovor tho road, against a host of thieves and robbers, who infest tho road its entire length. In addition to this, I have been compou nd to incTcat>e the wage* of agents and em ployees in oonvfqaonce of tho enhanced price of provision* and rent of houses. By the aot of Cougrea* pusted the 4th ol July, 1804, the intornul revenue tax on tho earnings of this road a* well h* on car*, engines, water tanks, &e., will, if levied ana collected, amount to sevonty-fivo thousand dollars per annum. I have given the subject much conside ration, and bave come to the conclusion that the Wostern 5 Atlantic Railroad bo- ing exclusively tho property of tho 8tato. is not subject to taxation under tho eaid act. 1 have therefore prepared an argument and submitted it to tho Rovcnuo Assessor, and also forwarded a copy of the same to tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington City for consideration. And should the Commissioner determine to have the tax assrssed and paid on the same then it would bo advisable that such action be taken as to protect the Mate against such action, by test.rig the validity of tho act, imposing and collecting such taxes. In consequence of thu want of moans, 1 have not had tho depots on the road ro- built, except at Atlanta, tho walls of which have been repaired, and aro now being covered, and will soon be ready for use. I have also in process cf oroction at tho same place, a Machine Shop, to repair Engines, &c., tho building of which is in- dtBponHiblo to the sorvico of tho road. Tho culvert at Vining’s Station, built at immense exponsn, wax blown up and ren dered unsafe, by the Federal army, and is now being repaired at cot aiderablo cost. Since ray appoinniont to office, l have used every effort to mako tho roid self* sustaining as possible: and if it could have the use of two hundred thousand dollars for two years, to purchase iron, it could pay the inteicst, and discharge the debt at maturity. Believing that the road can, within a fow years, be made to relievo tho citizens of ikis Stale, of the great burthen ol taxation, 1 would respectfully recommend tbatsuch policy bo adopted a* will, in tho shortest possible time, place it in good condition, with an abundanoo of rolling stock, to on- ablo it to disoharguall tho domuudk which may be made upon it. The abovo report is most respectfully submitted for you consideration. Uoukkt Bauuu, Sup’l.

Nkw York, December 15.—Tho Post’s Washington special says tho question of tho admission of Southern claim cuts lo teats in tho House of Representatives was now considered as being fully determined ; the vote in the House adopting thu Ste ven* resolutions by two-thirds being ro guided as conclusive evidenco that they will not bo admitted this winter.
