TELEGRAMS, &c. inthe Senate of the Maryland Legislature, yesterday, @ bill was introduced to authorize the Mayor end Councilmen of Cumberland to build a bridge over the Potomac river, Mr. Obr, from the committee on internal improvements, reported a bill to aid in the construction of the Pokomoke and Wicomico railroad, and Mr. McMasters, {rom the select committee, a bill to incorpo- rate the Worcester and Somerset railroad. In the House, Mr. Cox. of Baltimore, offered a resolution that the “House most unqualifiedly endorses the letter of Lieutenant General Grant, as published in the Baltimore American of this day, opposing the removal of the Fede- ral troops from the late rebellious States, and dissenting from the arming of the militia there- in.” Speaker Frazier mtroduced a series of resolutions endorsing the course of President Johnson and Secretary Seward, agreeing with the views enunciated in the recent message of Governor Swann. A correspondent of a New York paper states thatthe vigilant detective measnres on the part of the military at Fortress Monroe, instituted im consequence of the rumors of a plot to rescue Jeff. Davis, has not been relaxed, and the search of all arriving vessels is still carried on. Though no positive evidence has yet been furnished that the plot really exists, it’ is con. sidered best to be prepared for it in case it does. A steamtug with soldiers nightly patrols the waters of the harbor, and passes to the fort are more closely examined than formerly, having to undergo the scrutiny of two sets of sentries instead of one. Jeffs health continues good, and he has all the comforts allowed him which his limited quarters will permit. The celebration of the Centennial anniver- sary of the Missionary Society of the M. E. Choreh, was continued in the Baltimore churches yesterday, the ceremonies of the oc- casion being held at the Charles Street Metho- dist Church,in the morning and evening, and at the hall of the Maryland Institute in the afte- noon. Hon. James Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, presided at the Charles tChurch and addressed the meeting. Rev. Wm. Butler, late Missionary to India, also spoke. At the Maryland Institute,Bishap Kingsley addressed the audience upon the subject of the Pac’ tic Coast and the Rocky Mountains. The Montana /’ost has received informa. tion, which is considered reliable, that the late treaty with the Blackfoot Indians, made at Fort Benton, was broken the second day after the annuities were distributed.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE. ° a Pala am the close of our report yes- erday— Mr. Morrill moved totake up the bill to reg- ulate the eleetive franchise in the District of Columbia. The bill confers the right of suffrage uponall male eae of twenty-one years and over, who have resided one year in the District before the elec:ton, and’ prescribes punish- ment for interfering with the exercise of the elective franchise in the case of any person or persons. Mr. Davis said he proposed to debate the yr and asked thatit be postponed till to- lay. Hovse.—The House resumed the considera- tion of the bill proposing to extend suffrage in the District of Columbia by’striking out the word “white” wherever itappears in the laws and ordinances. Mr. Kaseon, of Iowa, replied tothe speech of Mr. Kelley, heretofore made, arguing that the language of Mr. Madison, as quoted by the gentleman, did not allow the teaching that Con- gress have the right to regulate the qualifica- tion of voters in the States. He repudiated this as the declaration of Mr. Madison. Mr. Kas- son caused to be read from the Federalist the views of Mr. Madison, to show that this dan- rous power was not conceded to the (teneral overnment. He repeated thatit was never intended by Mr. Madison and the framers of the Constitution that Congress should prescribe the qualifications of voters for members of the Legisiature or of Congress. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, in reply, quo- ted from the language of Mr. Madison, toshow that shouid the people of any State by any means be deprived of the right of suffrage, it was judged proper the evil should be remedied by the General Government, etc. Mr. Kasson replied that was the repetition of the assertion the gentleman made the other day; and he would say, ima facie, it was absurd to declare that the Constitution, under the word “manner,” had the right to prescribe the qualification of electors, when it said the qualifications to yote for members of the House shall be those required for voting for members aid the most numerous branch of the State Legis- atures. Mr. ae Leen to produce th ithor- ity to show Madison did maintain «J Con- gress bas the right to determine the question. Mr. Kasson was glad the issue = and was well defined. r. Kelley replied, then you take issue with Mr. Madison ? Mr. Kasson asked why the gentleman quoted Madison, unless he imiended to indorse that authority. Mr. Kelley said he was for the Constitution in all ite length and breadth, as understood b Washington and m, and for it with its powers, which the; tained were essen- tial to its nity; for the Constitu- tion, with the power imhering im Congress to £0 regulate suffrage as to give every citizen of the country the right to exercise it within the limitation of twenty-one years of age, and & citizen, either by birth or naturalization. Mr. Kasson, in reply, said he was for the Constitution as it and he reasserted that Congress has no right to prescribe who, in Jowa, shall yote for members of the most nu- oe ah goede of the — if — ; ‘were made universal, in some country there weuld be nosecurity for the per- manence of our institutions.
