In. lit of Congress is left at liberty to HO !nftr 0l *t be endorses its pretensions to un ite I limited power over the Southern States and tbeqii.itSon of re-mtion. The argument of the menage, excellent in itaelf, closes with abrupt declaration: iment to the Constitution U-ing -ul.I t> main for tin - States, whose power* love been so long in abeyance, to rr-nnw tii. ir places in the two branches of the National legislature, and thereby plete tbs * orfc of restoration.

Now, itia well known that nnder this clause of the constitution, the radical majority in have claimed the right to preterite the qualifications of member*, to frame a test s-ith that excludes from Congress nearly eve ry man in the South who is lit to be a repre sentative of anybody, and hence to shut us it from all participation in a government which wc are exjiected to love and cherish, winch we arc taxed to support, anil whose lawa we are bound to olxv. A simple provision, which gives the power to Congress to prevent the admission of members who are not elected and qualified in accordance with the role previously specified in the syme instrument, is thus distorted from its real meaning and intent, so ns to give to a majority in Congress the right to prescribe new qualifications and new modes of election Sadi a construction of that instrument is so clearly a usurpation, and one so dangerous in ita character, that we confess ourselves as tounded that tlio President should have quo ted tile clause, not only without a word of in terpretation, hnt in a connection that might lead to the belief that be favored the violence that bail lieeu done it. Instead of giving way to the revolutionary schemes of a trims- pliant faction, Iris supporter* at the Sooth hail hoped that, as Commandcr-in-Chief of the army and navy, be would enforce the con stitution and put down ditunion, from what ever aooree it might spring. We trust yet, that, alt other efforts failing to preserve the government nnder the constitution, he will have the patriotism and the nerve to bring to hia aid aO the means that the people have placed in his hands. We are satisfied that the North, as a laxly, have no approval for the ambitious demagogues, who arc thus pur suing their own selfish ends, at tho expense of their country's peace, and that the Pres ident would be sustained in bringing order ont of chans, even at the point of the bayo net, by a majority in that section, as well as by every Individual man at the 8outli. Nay, the whole world wonld applaud the dewl.— If wc are to Ire turned overto the tender nier- ries of such brutal fanatics as Sumner snd Stephen., then, Ood help tho South! Tire second point on which the President has previously disappointed the expectation* of the South, Is his determination to bring to trial, ior the crime of “freitaon,” a portion of our citizens who were engaged in the late at tempt :il levnluiuM i'nj ..-parnte indepen Tem J .- '.T’H .1 Hu earnest desire for tlii- time to arrive when a •‘general amm ty ” can be safely proclaimed—a desire in which lie says, •• every patriot” must partici pate—this resolution comes with an ill grace, and we are at a loss to perceive the harmony between tho two. Nor are the reasons given in conformity to true pliilosphy ami states manship. He says: ” It i* manifest that treason, most flag rant in character, has been committed.—! P - ■ --* who are charged with ita commis- sion iljinld have fair and impartial trials in ill. highest civil tribunals of the country, in order that the Constitution and the laws may Ire fully vindicated; the truth clearly cstfd li-ihcd and affirmed that treason is ■ crime, that traitors should be punished and tlic ofTcnsc made infamous; and at tho -inu- time, that the question may Ire judicially -i ttled, finally and forever, that no S' ' it* own will, has a right to renounce its place in the Union. ” To this we have to reply, that the main points mimed at have already lrecn accora plished, and with a completeness and finality that no mere judicial decision could ever se cun; The constitution and laws have lice vindicated and tire sacredncss of the Ui maintained by the terrible tribunal arms and its judgment ratified a sea of blood. What could the opinion civil judges and the verdicts of juries add to such a sanction ? The Union has everythin; to lose and nothing to gain by such an arbi trament. No man in the South entered the late stniggle without the command of his Sfatr, expressed in constitutional forms, power that had absolute control over his per nml actions, and at a time when no other authority could reach him. The otMt the essence of treason and all other crimes, ami without clear proof of its existence there mnnot justly be a conviction of guilt, onriction by corrupt court* in defiance prim iple of Inw, would not alter the law* rhllst it would bring upon our ju tlu^i^emnation and contempt of the wuridy □BH ould a conviction, under existing Alices, make the offence of the South us,” or c hange any existing opinion regarding it. The North already lookSdtipc it w'tb all ihe horror of which its very sus (‘eptihh nature is capable; whilst the people of tilt* South, 60 far from lx*ing change* wiwild only be more fixed in their opinion: by the additional shedding of blood. What erer may l»e the true character of the act of secession, they teliewed they were right—that it was, under Hie fundamental spirit of government, their “right and duty” to “alter or alolish” a government which, in their opinion, had hWotnc ‘‘destructive of the end for which it was instituted"* «£c.

Rlitort of the Telegraph : I noticed a short editorial in yonr last is sue, recommending that the City Hall lie se cured and a Christmas Tree arranged during the coming festive season, for the benefit of tlic helpless orphans in <<ur midst. This was a most commendable suggestion. Their na tural friend? are sleeping where the cries of their offspring cannot reach them. They have no fathers, no mothers now, and unless God shall raise up friends for them, their little stockings will be hung up in vain on Christ ina? eve. But perhaps the writer of the arti rlc in question was not aware that Mrs. Hughes, the indefatigable principal of the City Orphan's School, had formed a similar plan more than two weeks ago, for the pur pose of furthering the interests of her school The plan you propo.-r of making the matter general will, in my opinion, conflict material ly, with her tgeeial object, which, after all, in its results, is as general as anything could be. By giving promiscuously to aii who would call themselves orphans bn the occasion re ferred to, their hearts would be cheered, it is true, and their holiday fancies gratified, but at the same time little or no permanent good would ensue. By turning over all the funds received to Mrs. Hughes, her school would be greatly aided, and the principle carrricd out of securing tho greatest good to the great numlter. Mrs. Hughes'school Is not denominational It is the foster child of two pious gentlemen —one a Methodist, the other a Baptist—and is as free from sectarian influence as the Gi card Orphan College of Philadelphia, whose regulations prohibit a minister of the Gospel from coming within iLs walls. An invitation ha? Wen repeatedly extended to all the indi gent orphans in the city to attend this school, and a* soon a? the nmniter of pnpils will jus tify it, assistant teachers will be secured Irom other denominations. It should not be for gotten that Mrs. Hughes began this work alone, trusting for her reward to Him who ha? promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless. She. has al ready been at great trouble and expense in making preparations for her exhibition, and I know that a? praiseworthy an object as that, she represents will enlist your wannest sym pathy and most cordial co-operation.

One hope filled every breast, and that was, that under some new combination we might yet strike another blow for liberty 1 Subjects we might consent to be under any other flag, bnt never slaves under tbe banner of. the Union. The tyranny which we expected from the fanatical ‘radicalism of the North mado us sullen, and though silent we .were defiant. In that dark hour, when hope bad withering fled, the President of the United ; Btytes, An drew Johnson, with amoral grandeur which did him. as much honor os could be won by man if his life extended to a thousand years, and ill Us deed^werc noble, single and alone stood between us and the destroying, surging wave of fanatacism. In that frying hour he conquered tho South by liis magnanimity, and did more to win our hearts than could have been effected in years ot oppression!— (Applause.) As Commander-in-chief of the army of the United States, adopting the theory on which the North had fought the war, he appointed a Provisional Governor, published proclamation of amdesty to certain classes if our citizens, waited long enough to sec the effect of his proclamation, and ascertain by the number of persons accepting the some, am,l thus purging themselves of disloyalty, whether there were loyal men enough in Georgia to justify him in placing in their bands the State powers, till then resting tm abeyance. , , . ,. . As soon as he became satisfied on this, point, he authorized the Provisional Gover nor by proclamation to authorize the people to hold a Convention and form a State Con stitution in which should be incorporated the abolition .of slavery. The Convention did assemble/ formed a State Constitution, ordered the election of a Governor and Leg islature, and, until the Governor could be elected, by certain ordinances then passed, recognized the Provisional Governor as Gov ernor of Georgia, until a constitutional Gov ernor could be elected. These elections have taken place, and pursuing this policy logical ly to its resulting consequences, as soon as the Legislature could assemble and the Gov ernor could be inaugurated, the State Gov ernment became a fact accomplished, and the Provisional Government expired by its own limitation. But while the Legislature lias been allowed to assemble and enter upon the business of legislation, tlic Provisional Gov ernor has been directed to retain his office until the constitutional Governor should be inaugurated and recognized by the Presidsnt.

The military head of the government can forbid us from the exercise of powers under a Constitution which could only have been formed by liis withdrawing from us the hand of military power; but he cannot put in operation a constitutional civil government, until all the departments of that government necessary to the legal expression of its will, are in the exercise oftheir respect ive functions. This is exactly onr present condition, and therefore, I .urge upon this House to abstain from business and adjourn from day to day until the obstacles which interfere to prevent the inauguration of the Governor can be re moved. Let us pause in our action until we know whether wc are regarded as loyal citi zens and constitutional legislators, or unpar- doned rebels assembled here with no legisla tive functions. I make these remarks in no factious spirit I am satisfied that the President is onr best friend, that wc must sustaiu him and his policy: for unless he can save us from the radicalism of the North, there is no power on earth to pass the cup of degradation and woe from our lips. If he foils to shield us, exile will be the only refuge from infamy. In a brief reply, Mr. Kmnv maintained that Provisional Governor Johnson is tbe supreme power in the State, and "consequently' to ap prove and make valid the acta of thc General Assembly, and that he is so regarded by tbe President of the United States, from whom lie derives his powers. But -even if a ques tion should arise in regard to his authority to co-operate in the legislation of thc General Assembly, so for os to make its acts valid, the difficulties could afterwards be remedied by tlic passage of an enabling act. He concluded by moving to lay Mr. Moses’ substitute on the table for the present,, which motion was car- Mr. Snead’s original resolution as amended was then adopted. So thc Honse voted to take a recess on Friday next, the 15lh inst., to reassemble on tbe 15th of January. On motion, thc House adjourned till half past 11 o'clock, on Monday morning. From Washington. Special to the Daily News.] WAsiinttfes, Dec. 6, 1865.—The leading republicans here are getting somewhat alarmed at the recent precipitate action of the House in choking down Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, a thoroughly loyal man and a strong personal friend of tbe President. It is understood that Mr. Jolinson has declared that he will not confer the offices at his dis- policy of friends ising liihi in thfa policy. ^BpnbUcan leaders are therefore com forted with the loss of all Executive patron age, and it stagger? them prodigiously, a; there is scarcely a member who has not some favors to askforhispoliticalfriends. Already many of the members begin to manifest a change of front, and desire to be "considered in any other attitude than that of hostility to the President. It is to be hoped that this timely hint from the President may yet result in a coalition ;of the conservative Republicans and Democrats, sufficiently powerful to check the malignant spirit of frie radicals. “Bamum has engaged Bayard Taylor, to scour Europe for curiosities." What an immense amount of scrubbing and huge outlay in soponaceous compound will be required to make a clean job of it. List of Arrivals at Brown’s Hotel. , 231 J A ’ Dzemazn 11,1865.

He trusted thc House would not in any revolutionary step like this without hearing from Tennessee; for if Ten nessee is not in thc Union and is not a loyal State, but her citizens are aliens and foreign ers, by what right docs thc President of the Unitc’d,Statcs occupy his place in the White House? He repeated, he trusted thc gentle man would have thc privilege to be heard for if thc precedent now proposed be estab lished, thc Clerk would, in effect, give law to the House merely by arbitrary will, and thus make himself omnipotent. Mr. Wentworth (Rep., Ill.);called thc gen tlcman to order. Tho Clerk said tho gentleman was proceed- iginordcr. ' * "’I Sir. Brooks responded—When the gentle man knows me better in thc house, he will al ways find that I proceed to order. Wc ought to know who have a right to vote, before we proceed witMlic organization. If the gen tlemen, Mr. Maynard,is not from a State in the Union, what man is loyal ? During the dark est period of the war, while he was an exile from Tennessee, I heard his eloquent voice on thc St. Lawrence, urging my State to dis charge ita whole duty to the country; and here are honorable gentlemen wlio will not bchnit him to be heard though he holds in lis hand a certificate from the governor of Tennessee. Neither has the clerk of the house read the names of members from Vir ginia—I mean old, and not Western Virginia, over which Governor Pierpont has presided, and still presides, to Which position he was elected during the war, and whose loyalty is unquestioned. By what rightliasthc Virgin* master.' ■ _ ■’ri “excluded T"T want tl clerk to tell me. He has given no reason for it. , I will yield the floor to enable him to an swer the question. Thc clerk replied: If it is the desire of the house I will give the reasons. Mr. Stevens in liis chair—Tho house knows it all and don’t want tlic reasons. Mr Clerk said what he had done was in view of his duty, and lie wa3 willing to let thc record stand. ■Air. Brook*, resuming, said it was known to some, but not to all, that the State of Lou isiana was here last Congress by permission of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Jlr. Ste vens,) who gave his assent to the record, but now Louisiana is excluded. The Republicans then admitted two members from Louisiana, and now tbe Clerk assumed tbe responsibili ty of excluding the members elect from t' State. Why this inconsistency of action, w*ltai«iM>rdM9$iii?ru«< .ivru* tell 3 Jlr, Waslibume (Rep., Ill.,) reminded the house, that on the occasion to which the gen tleman referred, the Clerk put thc names of tho Louisiana members on tbe roll. They did not vote for Speaker, and the House some time after refused to let them be sworn in. Mr. Iirook?.—That was after the Speaker was cliosen. — Jlr. Washbubne—They were never mcin- [bers. Mr. Brooks—But they gave their votes for tlic Speaker without objection from the Re publicans. But tho gentleman from Penn sylvania (Mr. Stevens,) did not want to bear tbe reasons of tbe Clerk. This was not parliamentary. Tennessee, Louisiana, and Virginia were all to be excluded without debate. Were gentlemen afraid to face de bate, after passing a resolution in caucus, ex cluding members front certain States without discussion! I . • .' | : Jlr. Stenens—I rise to a point of order. It was once held that on the assembling of members on the first day of tlio session, no other business was in order, except a motion to organize^by the election of officers. Jlr. Bkooks—I trust the gentleman will not be impatient. I would say to him, Strike, but first hear. Tbe action of tbe Clerk is to Ire carried on without debate. Ill the 'whole history of the country, and throughout the revolutionary period, there is no record of violence more flagrant .than that which is roposed to be visited on the minority of tbe ouse by the exclusion of fifty-seven repre sentatives, and that, too, without debate. I would ask tho gentleman from Pennsylvania at what period ne will introduce tbe joint resolution which was approved in the Repub lican caucus? I hope lie will inform us. .Voices—Don't tell. Don't answer him, Jlr. Stevens—Ohl I have Uo objection to answering. It will be introduced by me at thc proper time. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Brooks said the gentlemen from Penn sylvania understood the purport of the an cient maxim that language was given us to conceal our ideas. The proper time to which the gentleman (illuded was in anticipation of thc message, in order that tlic gentleman might throw himself in opposition to it, to place before the country a quasi condemna tion of the President He (Brooks) was not the President’s vindicator except where op thc record should be presented principles in accordance with his own. He moved that the gentleman from Tennessee be .allowed to present bis credentials as a member elect from the State' of Tennessee, and that bis name be placed upon the roll. PROCEEDINGS ON MIL JIIIOOK?’ MOTION TO AD- " MIT MR. MATKABD. Jlr. Stevens—I rise to the point of order tliatthe motion is inadmissible, the motion for the election of Speaker now being in order. Tliq clerk ruled that was a good point of order.’ >'j_' ifi,., I Jlr. Jlaynard—I appeal to tbe gentleman to listen to me a few minutes. Mr. Stevens—I cannot yield to any man who is not a member of this body. Mr. Johnson (Dem. Pa.) obtained tlic floor, for the purpose, as he said, of explaining, bnt . .... Jlr. Stevens objected, remarking: “A man cannot explain anything never spoken.” The clerk reminded Mr. Brooks that he could not yield the floor if objection was nor could he yield it exceping for the ses of explanation or debate on pend- amendment?. •. Brooks replied tliatlie did not regard tbe proceedings as parliamentary, and ex pressed lii3 regret that such a dangerous pre cedent was about to be established. Jlr. Johnson (Pa.) wished to propound a question. ‘Itrelated to making up the roll. Which was the first step to organization. : The clerk held that bad no reference to the election of Speaker, which was the pending motion. ‘ .... ... THE GAG PUT ON. Jlr. Stevens moved thc previous question on the motion to proceed to the election of speaker. ' Jfr. Johnson proposed to submit a motion which could take precedence of the motion of his colleague (Jlr. Stevens). He wished to move that the name of the gentleman from Tennessee, who held the credentials, be placed upon the rolls. , The Clerk decided thc motion out oft order. The House,, under the operation of the previous question, agreed to the motion of j Mr. Jlorrill, that the' House now proceed to ) the election of Speaker. THE ELECTION OP SPEAKER. Mr. Morrill nominated Schuvler Colfo duty. Then we may hope to see the vacant and once abandoned amts around, us grad- ally filling up, until this IIaU shall con tain Representatives from every State and District, their hearts devoted to the Union which they aril to legislate for; jealous of its honor, proud of ita glory, watchfht of its rights,and hostile to il» enemies; and tho stars on our banner, that paled when the State* E presented arrayed thcmrelves in arms the nation, will shine with a more t light of lovUty than ever before.— (Applause.) tnvolabgtuc gffidancc df Him who bolds thc destiny of nation* in tho hol low of Hi* hand, I enter again upon thc du ties of this trying position, with a heart filled With gratitude to you for thc unusually flat tering manner in which it has lieeu battowed und cliccrcd by the hope that it betoken* your lial support nnd assistance in all ita grave responsibilities.
