It is well known that Mr. Massey sold limited rights of this Patent for thous ands of dollars in several of the Southern States, and yet there are vast sections of Cotton growing country where it is not known.

Washington, Jan. 20.—The House of Represc-datives to day resumed the consideration of the constitutional amendment regarding the basis of rep. resentation. Mr. Hording, of ivy. aid Mr. Wright, of New Jersey, spoke, During the debate on the subject, these gentlemen spoke in favor of the admission of Southern .Representatives. They could see no necessity for a constitutional amendment, which, they said, was designed as a piece of party management by the Republicans to secure the suffrage of the negroes. The House will take a vote on the ques tion to-day.

Washington, Jan. 28.--The Presi dent, to-day sa : d to certain distin guished Senators that the agitation of the negro franchise question in the District of Co'umbia, at this time, was merely the entering wedge to the ag itation of the question throughout the States, and was ill-timed, uncalled lor and calculated to do great harm. He believed that it would engender enmity, contention and strife between the two races, and would lead to a war between them which would result in great injustice to both and certain de struction to the negto population. Precedence, he thought, should be given to more important and ur gent matters, legislation upon which was essential for the restoration of the Union, the peace us the country and ! prosperity of the peop e. The foregoing may be implicitly re lied upon as true. Washington, Jan. 2B—The Senate to-day discussed the Dili to provide for the protection of all persons without distinction of color or race, in their civil rights. Mr. Trumbull offered to amend by inserting that all jrsons of Africa de cent, born in the United States, are eitizeus thereof, and ma ie a speech in support of the bill. Mr. Saulsbury replied, contending that the liberties of the white man were entitled to some consideration, and that it was tune lo cease shedding tears for the negroes. A resolution jvas offered and referr ed to the Committee on Naval Affairs, tendering the thanks of Congress to Reai-Admiral Farragut and his officers for their gallant conduct in Mobile Ray in Augusta, 1564. In the Houses Mr. Raymond of New York, refuted the positions of those who maintained that the Southern States were out of the Union. This he denied, and maintained that Congress has no more pdwer to do anything against them than against the other States. The Southern States having reorganized, the only question was as to the admission ot their representa tives iu Congress. Congress should act separately on the cases from each district and admit those who could take the oath. We shall have to live with the South, and good policy as well as pa triotism shonld induce them to recon ciliation. He said the House owed it to their dignity to repudiate the Select Com mittee ou iieconstruetio n All the pa per constitutions would not save the> country unless theie was sufficient pa< triotism among the people. \\ ashinjrton, Jan. 30.—Thereport ot the United States Revenue Com mission on cotton recommends that a tax ot five eent- tor pound be levied on mi cotton nr sod in the i mted States after Jauuury Ist ISfiG; that a tis on cotton consumed in this couniry he le vied m the manufacturers, anil upon that exported upon the merchant at the place of export, and tha no vessel he allowed to clear without a certificate that the tax has been paid, ihe Commission also recommends that so long as there shall be a tax up on American raw cotton, (here shall be •peciSe djtve oq *>l impcrtH fabrics of a.j many cents per pound as levied on raw cotton.

In the House, Mr. Stevens, from the reconstruction Committee, report* ed back the constitutional amendment referred to them yesterday; the Coin?- mittee refusing to amend by striking ouc the direct taxatioif clause. Mr. Stevens made a speech alluding to the President in most caustic terms, lie-said he had vetoed the privilege of the House bv making a command whilst the House was engaged in the considerat ion of an important question. Such an aet, centuries ago, would have cost the British King his head, but we are tolerant of usurpation and abuse of power. At the conclusion, of his remarks, the vote was taken on the Constiiu* tioiial Aniendu ent, which was pased.

A Qneor Lelier- J. Wilke* Booth Re vived. The Norfolk Post of Saturday con tain? the following singular letter: Morkiikad City, Jan. 5, ISCG Editor Norfolk Fast: Sir: L have just arrived in this place from .where I saw and talked with : John Wilkes Booth, the supposed as sassin of your late President That he ! would be alive after what Occurred at your capitol may seem strange, but it is true nevertheless. 1 saw him and B Harris, who left with him, not four week a ago, and learned from him all tl e hardships that he underwent in leaving this country, lie says that no one who has the least recant for truth will say that he was in Ford’s Theatre on the night of the 1 14th of April last, and wonders why no one present on that occasion did not pretend to recognize the man that shot Lincoln until they were told that ; it was him, by Lory Keen, his bitter i enemv. He did not however, to me deny “or admit t hat he had done the deed; but stated that no one could t.uthfully say, of their own knowledge, * that it was him. He declares that Mrs. Surratt was innocent, and wonders how the man that was killed in the barn looked. He learned from the papers that lie had a heavy beard, and had sheared or cut it in such an awkward manner that bis Booth's most intimate friends would , not recognize him as Booth, lie thinks not. He be ieved, innocent or guilty, that if found he wou and have been suc vificeil to their fury, and concluded (o leave, which lie did. And as there can now be no in telling, I will state what he told uic —omitting names He crossed the river at Georgetown ; stopped the next day near Fairfax Courthouse ; the next night lie was ta ken near Middleburg, &c., and from there near Gum Springs, where he re mained two days; and after more than three weeks traveling—mostly by ■ night, and suffering severely—-he reached Florida, where he was detain ed for son e time, until Harris, who I was not mentioned in the affair, and who could appear publicly, procured a boat, which they ventured to .sea in, and made land safe. Booth was im.- mediately taken sick, anil has been most of the time since.” In October he was much better, so much so that he took some exercise in the open air, but relapsed, and was eomfined to his room intil about four weeks ag°. His constitution, in my judgment, is ruined, and 1 dont believe lie will live long. He was preparing for a change of climate, and if no re* lapse lias taken place, is probably now ; in another country, where lie will meet, with'more of his own people or people from the same country. Mr. Editor, l write such poor Eng lish that 1 fear you will not be able to make it out; but it is the truth, the whole truth and if yon wish, you may publ'sh it.

The following is the text of the bill to amend the naturalization laws, now pending in Congress: Be it enacted by the Seni'e and House of Representatives of the Uni ted Strtes of America, in Congress as sernbled, That all the acts of Congress relating to naturalization be and the same ore hereby am< nded by strik rtg out, wherever they occur, the words “being a free white person,’’ and the words “free white,” and the words “a Iree white person,” so that iD the mat ter of natui alization there shall he no distinction as to race or color, i Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, Tnat all persons born, or hereafter to be born, within the limits and under , the jurisdiction of the United States, shall bg deemed and considered, and are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States, and enthled to all rights and privileges as such. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That nothing iu this act contained shall be construed to refer to the naturali zation of any members of the Indian tribes. MilUdgeville, Jan. 30. Hon. A1 ex and r H. Stephens was e lected Uni ted States Senator to*day on the first bailor, l'he to e stood —Stephens lod Hill 38, scatter;ng 1. Mr. Stephens did not consent to the use of his name. tierschet V. Johnson was elected <?t tilth ballot by 152 vo’es jfr. Limn'’ Dofracf. Mr. G- B. Lamar’s defence against the charge of cotton theft, written by himself,Explains tbe alleged theft as follows: let me call your attention to the condition of affairs in Southern Geor gia, asd : s. dosed by the evidence. There were thousands and tens of thousands of bales of cotton stored all over the country, in the towns along the line ot the railroad and on the plantations. This cotton belonged to tbe different States, and some to the Importing and Exporting Company of Georgia. Jhe Treasury Department was taking pos session ofcertain classes ot this Cotton, and among others portions of that be longing to the Importing and Export ing 3 Company. They did not pretend to take the cotton of individuals, with small exceptions, nor all ot that belong, ing to the Importing and Exporting Company, as the orders so often re fern ed to disclose Its agents were all over the country seeking Jor cotton to seize. Their reward was to be a por tion of what they got —sometimes as much as one-fourth or one-third. Un der these circumstances/ is it strange that in some instances the-e agents took cotton they hud no right to take? cotton of individuals o ci tiling under the class of company cotton whic! they were prohibited from taking? Is it strange, eithei, that their invanab'e reply should he to the party seeking, redress, “You must go to Washington with your cla m? 0 ! course they put every obstacle in the way of parties j seeking to obtain their rightful cotton, j or at least afforded them no facilities for doing so. My individual cotton had been turned over to me by the Government, the permits and orders ■read prove this.. But still these agents hud taken possessi- nos some cf.it, and were seeking tor it through the coun try. So with the cotton oi‘ the Import ing and Exporting Company; they had seized lots which they, had no rignt to take under their order, and were seek, ing for and hunting up others. Under these circumstances my neph ew and myself acted in endeavoring to secure my own cotton and that of the company, which was being illegally seized. It was on the account of the course pursued by these agents that he was compelled to conceal as much as possible his intentions and his actions. The whole correspondence between us 1 establishes these facts. A Touching Ippcal. A number of freed men in Selma, Ala., have published an appeal to their former masters, concluding >n -the fol lowing, earnest but respectful terms : Dear Friends and Former Masters: \\ e know theie is a large number of widows and crpplcd men, who arc weli educated, and have no employment by which to make a living TtV'se person,- we would be pleased to see taking an interest in teaching our children, and training them up in the way limy should go. We arc greatly in want of schools, and to persons who will estab lish them we will guarantee our undi vided support. Our own people are the proper ones to teach us, and wc sincerely wish them to do so-. And why should they refuse ? They raised and taught us all that we know, as car penters, blacksmith, stone and brick masons, painters, etc., including work ing on the farm, driving, etc , and were not ashamed or backward in perfbr ming this servico. And why shouM it be considered a disgrace to make a living Jtt this business in the South? \\ r c make our living out of the people here, and, thcrcLre, we think it our duty to spend our money with those who sustained and took care of us. The United States Government and your State Convention gave us our freedom, and we prefer you to any o b er to have the money derived from our daily lal-cr .for teaching our children. Ls you all stand back, strangers will come in and take the money from un - der your hands and carry it away to build up the r own country. They are not ashamed tu make money irorn any class of men. • •- Cornirdire of Ihc Radicals. A Washington .correspondent, speak ing of interviews between tne Uresis d*nl and the Radicals, says; llecfhtly, certain prmrncnt un nos Massachusetts, in a conversation with him had di.-clused a tear that our par ty ascendency might be endangered if. the South should conic in, and should act as it always use to act as . a unit. Yet, how rimy members were there to be let in from the rebel 8 at.es? Only 58. But tiio IF use has now 200. it argued a large amount of distrust of the North and a arge estimate of the power of tltsse 58, to suppo-c that they could :uint he Government or obtain tne ascendency in Congress. The circumstance shows not only the motives of the Radicals in keeping the feouth out of Congress---her exclusion until they ean secure suffrage to the negro, and thus get Black Republican members from the Southern States to hold up their sinking fortunes —but it likewise proves the fear the}’ have of meeting honest Southern men in de bate. Perhaps they are wise in this, as the South has never needtd a near er approach to equality than that set forth in the figures above to carry her point. Truth prowess make up for her lack of members.
