The public interest manifested ia the ques+ tion of the =: of government which will, im the event of a change, absorb resent dis vided authorities, afford unmi evidence that the people are fully awake to the import- ance of the subject, and to the effect which the contemplated reconstruction will produce upon the present and future of the District. The plan of the proposed government which, with- in a few days past, has been promincrtly brought before the public, appears to have oc pied the attention of a few citizens for several months, and received a definite shape a: the “Metzerott Hall meeting’ Jast month. The principal feature of this plan is to abolish the present elective franchise system and organize a government of Commissioners, three of which are to be military men, appointed by the Presi- dent of the Wnited States, or by Congress. It is argued in support of this plan. that the District of Colum! by the acts of cession from Maryland and Virginia, belongs to the United States, and that Congress his the exclu- ve richt to Rovers 3; that this plan is best suited to our disfranchised condition in regard to national affairs, and that the excitement at- tending elections will be avoided. It is true that the District of Columbia belongs to the United States, and it is equally true that all the territory of the Union, outside of the bonnda- ries of the original thirteen States at the tine of all the adoption of the Constitution, and al: that bas since been acquired, stands practi in the same relation: but it will scarcely be e tended that Congress ever assumed the power or right toestablish a permanent government over any part of it, inconsistent with republi- can institutions, or could do so without coming in direct confliet with the fundamental princi- ples of our whole political structure. It must be admitted, of course, that the anal- cgy between the political relations of the Ter- litories and this District with Congress changes when the Territories were or shall be organized aud admitted as States into the Union, but it is manifest that the principle undef which they Were both held as the property of the United States remains the same; because the same or- gamic law of the Republic, which grants to Congress exclusive jurisdiction over this Dis- anes to every State a republican government’ and should any of them Adopt a system of government which is not re- publican, Congress is bound by the spirit, it uot by the letter of that law, to resume and stis- tain its authority until tat guarantwe shall have been fullilled. Now, if Congress has the power and must erercise it to guarantee a re- publican form of government toa people over whom it has but partial jurisdiction, how much more imperative is that obligation to prov snd defend a republican form of governinent for the people of this District, over whom ithas “exclusive jurisdiction 1” Lam unwilling to believe that it will bese. rious nded, and confident that it cannot be suecessiully demonstrated, that the people of the United'States, our fellow-citizens, from whom Congress derives itx authority, ever did, or do now intend, that the power over this District, vested in that body, should be exer- cised to establish, m the metropolis of the coun- iry, # local government diametrically opposed to the spirit and genius of our institutions. The Gistranchisement of the people of the District of Columbia may or may not have been wisely ord: red. (1 do not propose to diseuss that ques- tuon;) but to deprive them of all control over their local government, because they have not & voice in the selection of the national, le lative and executive authorities, is a propos! tion which on its face is so unreasonable and preposterous. that it requires no argument to prove its iny Tt might be contended, With a logical sequence quite xs conclusive, that, becau-e a inan has been deprived of his Property, therefore he should forfeit his life alzo. If the people are deprived of all control uver their government, the excitement attending elections will of course be avoided, but in its place will succeed the calm of despotism, which to him who justly appreciates the right of man to “manage his own affiurs in hisown way, will be more distressing than the most turbus lent expression of party feeling. A govern. ment by commissioners’ would have tor its leading characteristic that strength and power, {ro iar as the people under its control would be coucerned,) which would enable it to admin- ister affairs, without fearing that stubborn op- Position to wrong or what they conceive to be wreng, which is the prerogauve of a tree people, and it that consideration is paramount to alt others that a government by “commis. sioners” or any other irresponsible tyranny. ix certainly the most desiranle.

Mr. Connes« moved an amendment as a pro- vision that the passage of this claim shail not be considered as a preeedeni in favor of paying claims oh account of property destroyed. by Indaans; which, after considerable discussion, with the case of his colleague oma.) Mr. Sumner said he had not anticipated that this case would be taken up to-day. He hod now Mr, some rs at home in connecivon with this matter which he desired to submit. Mr Johnson had given notice on Friday Inst that he would move to take this case up, It was due to the State of Maryland to have this matter disposed of at once. Maryland had now fora year been without a representative. At had been two months since the report in the case had been made by the Judiciary Com- mittee. The motion of Mr. Jonson to take up the resolution of admission of Mr. was then agreed to. Mr. Sumner then, by wo imous consent, called up his resolution of inquiry as to the al- Jeged outrage on an employee of the Senate by & conductor of the Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown Railroad. Mr. Sumner read an account of the circam- stance, as published in the Chronicle of Monday morning. He (Mr. S.) would characterize this as a dastardly outrage, as it_was characterized by the journal referred to. The question was, What was the redress! Some said the courts, but the courts were teoslow, and he wished the Senave to take some action on the matter. He wanted the whole subject referred to the Commitiee on the District of Columbia, and while on the matter, he would desire to call alfention to outrages committed by the em- ployee. of another road, the Was! branch of the Baltunore and Ohio Rail) |. He had been called on this morning by an employee of the other House, Mr. Downing, keeper of the Hour restaurant. who bad informed him that he and his tamily bad been maltreated on the ears irom Baltimore to Washington. Mr. Conness fully agreed with the Senator (Mr, Sumner) #s to the enormity of these out- Tage-, and the necessity of au immediate re- dross.
