Washington, February 26. Mr. Thurman called up tlie bill amending the charter of the Freedman’s Sav ings & Trust Company, and for other purposes, which was passed. CIVIL BIGHTS BILL. Tho Civil Rights hill was then pro ceeded with. Mr. Thurman moved to amend the fourth section so as to exclude from its operation Stato juries. Ho held that there was nothing in the Four teenth amendment to give Congress power to prescribe the qualifications of jurors In the State courts. Bout well argued as to the power of Congress to enact all measures to place nil citizens of tlm country on an equal footing. Morton said the present laws in ! many of the States excluding colored men from tho jury box, were in viola j tion of the Fourteenth amendment, as it deprived them of equal protoo | tion of tho laws. No race or class of men could have equal protection, when, if one of them committed a crime, he should he tried by persons of another race or class. Thurman said women and children did not sit in the jury box, and yet no one could deny that they had equal ; protection of the laws. He said, fnr- I (her, that, he never would ho willing to give the colored men of this coun try more privileges than tho white j women. [Applause in tho galleries.] In the course of a colloquy between Mr. Thurman and Morton, Mr Mor ton intimated that Mr. Thurman was a Bourbon, and clung to all tho old ideas entertained before tlie war. Mr. Thurman said ho would even i sooner he that, than to change his! opinions, like tlie Senator from Indi-1 ana, with every passing breath. Mr. Merriinon made some remarks ] charging political motives as lying at the bottom of tlie desire to pass this bill. When lie concluded there was a lull in the proceedings. No Senator appeared prepared togo ! on, but finally Mr. Norwood took the j floor, and concluded a speech which | lie had commenced in tlie Pinchbaek j ease. Before concluding his remarks | Mr. Norwood gave way, and the! Senate went into Executive session, I after which a recess to 7.30 p. m. was ! taken. The Senate reassembled at 7:30 p. m., and tho consideration of the Civil Rights bill was at once proceed ed with. Mr. Norwood continued his speech on Louisiana affairs and the condi tion of the South generally. He maintained that tho President ex ceeded his authority in using the army as lie had in Louisiana, and if; tlie American people submitted to It j tiie Republic was at an end, and the; empire might, as well be hailed at once. In regard to the President’s mes- j sage on tho lawlessness in the South, he contended that the Itepub-; lican party was responsible for all the lawlessness in tho South. The reconstruction policy of Congress had stood in the way of the people of tlie South, and thwarted their progress. , He regarded tho President as entirely I responsible for the military interior- i once in Louisiana. He commended the heroism and forbeuranee of the people of Louisiana, under the cir cumstances. by which they were surrounded, and drew a picture of the manner in which he said they had been slander ed and oppressed. He said tie would appeal to them by every motive to continue to suffer and forbear until 1876, when tho verdict of the Ameri can people would be recorded. Hamilton, of Maryland, obtained the floor, and the Senate, at 10:15 p. M., adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Huribut, of Illinois, submitted a proposition that by unanimous con sent the reading of the journal be waived, and a session until 5 o’clock p. m. be given to the Committee on Appropriations for consideration sundry appropriation hills, and at that hour tlie House take a recess untill half-past seven o’clock, when the bill reported by Mr. Coburn shall bo before the House for debate only, and a demand for previous questions shall be considered seconded when ordered by the House. Agreed to. By unanimous consent a number of bills were taken tip and passed. The House t hen went, into Commit tee of the. Whole on sundry eivii ap propriation )>il Is. At 5 p. rn. the House took a recess until 7:30. The House reassembled at 7:30. The attendance was very slim, not fifty members being present. The House was called to order by Mr. Lyner, of Inti., Speaker pro tern. Mr. Coburn was recognized, but be fore lie proceeded to address the House, Mr. Caldwell, of Alabama, asked whether the bill was prepared before or after the report. Mr. Coburn Before the report. Mr. Bromburg, of Alabama -Then the report was made to suit the bill, and not the bill to suit the report. Mr. Coburn declined being further intercepted, and proceeded. He de fended the bill as only in the interest of a full and fair vote, to prevent in vasion and protect States from local insurrection. He contended that during the Brooks-Baxtcr contest in Arkansas the State was invaded by troops from Tennessee and Texas; that there were armed men from Texas at the Coushutta massacre; and again, that men from Georgia had invaded North Carolina and Ala bama on election days, and that, there had been numerous invasions of a tike character. After further debate the House, at 12:20 a. m., adjourned. From Wlilnt<m. Washington, February 26,-Quito a spirited light, lias been going on hero for some time over tho Macon Post- Ofllee. Five Moßirney, Jack Brown, Glover and Bond are aspirants for the oflleo. They a*e doing all they can to oust Belcher, the present in cumbent. Though the light has been going on some time, scarcely any pro gress has been made towards moving Belcher. A recent investigation made by the Government agents into tho | condition of the Macon Post-Office, ! does not furnish any ground of com j plaint. ,T. E. Bryant, defeated Republican candidate for Congress in the First I Georgia district, lias been here for some time working to oust General MeLaws from the colloctorship of that district; hut so far has made no headway. Bryant lias been working very quietly, and lias until to-day managed to keep his plans secret. West Ylrglnln Leurl-liil nrr. Charleston, W. V., Fob. 26. Tho Legislature lias adjourned. It meets at Wheeling in November next. The House, after a stormy session, ap pointed a board of managers to im peach Auditor Barnett and Treasurer liurditt for high crimes in office. The investigation of the management of the Stale finances continues during tho recess. •♦ • The French iwsembly. Faius, February 20. During the closing debate on the public powers bill many amendments were made by Legitimists and Bonapartlsts, to gain time. All were voted down. Tho seat of government was fixed at Versailles without debate. Before the vote on the whole bill the Legit imists presented a formal protest against its passage. l)o la Itaehott warned the House that there would be a terrible strug gle between the Conservatives and Republicans, and tho Monarchists would unceasingly combat tho new institutions.
