THE PRESIDENT was visited this forenoon by many Senators and Representatives, who con- gratulated him upon the passage of the San Domingo resolution by the Senate. He said in reply that he believed the annexation policy wise and pradent, and thought it woald gin strength as the facts became known, NAVAL OnpErs To-pay.—Ensigns James W. ‘aydon and Richard Mitchell ordered to the Tennessee. Lieut. H. W. Givinner detached from the Philadelphia navy yard and ordered to the storesbip Onwa Passed Assistant Surgeon J. B. Parker detached from the Nan- tasket and placed on waiting orders. Second Assistant Engineer Schuyler Ross detached from the Terror and placed on waiting orders. San Domrnco. be passage of the San Domingo rerolution by a vote of 31 to9 is nn- doubdtedly a triumph for the President, but the Opposition by their dilatory tactics succeeded in deteating its passage by the House for some time, as the House is not sitting tor business to- day, and will not sit again until after the holi- days. FUNERAL oF CommoporE GARDNER.—The remains of Commodore Wm. H. Gardner, U.S. N., who died in Philadelphia a few days since, arrived at the Depot yesterday evening, accom panied by his family, and were met at the Depot by a delegation of naval ofticers, among whom were Kear Admiral Poor, Commodore Case, Commodore Keynolds, Captain Patterson and others, with a deputation of seamen under command of several officers from the Navy Yard. The remains were interred in the Con- gressional Cemetery.

Queen Donna Isabel If. and the ex-King Fran. © de Assis of Spain. Many distinguished ican officers and the aristocracy were present atthe ceremony. A grand quet wound up the affair. THE New SENATOR FROM Mrssovrt.—fn the Sen: this morning Mr. Schurz presented the credentials of 1. T. Jewett, ot Missouri, ap- pointed by Governor McClurg as successor to Mr. Drake in the Senate. Mr. Jewett was es. rted to the Vice President's desk by Senator Schurz, and took the oath of office. Mr. Jewett was formerly from Maine. is a lawser by protession, has Tesided in St. Louis tor nine years, and has been a member of the State ‘Legislature. His predecessor, Judge Drake, says he is an astute and capable poll- tician, and strong republic: RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ForErGy Reta- Tions COMMITTEE.—It is ramored to-day that Senators Morton, Conkling and other friends of the administration will endeavor to have a cau- cus of Senators, at any early date, to recon. struct the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and oust Mr. Sumner from the chairmanship there- of, on account of his hostility to the President, deeming it due to the latter that the chairman of the lead ty. | committee of the Senate, and one with whom the President necessarily has con- siderable interconrse, should not be on offensive personal terms with bi Tue Caritot To-pay.—In the Senate to- »atter the reading of the journal and the admission of Mr. Jewett, on motion of Mr. Hamlin, the Senate proceeded to the considera- vt Executive busiuess. The attendance ot Senators was rather small at the opening, and those who were in their seats looked rather sleepy and tagged out after the all-night ses- sion. Later in the day, however, other Sena- ‘ors came in, evidently having enjoyed a nap since the adjournment this morning. In the tlouse to-day but twenty-five or thirty members were present, as debate only was the er of the day. Mr. Jones, of Ky. ssed the House in faver of general amnesty, apd was followed by Mr. Porter, of Va., in op- position thereto.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Yesterday's Proceedings. Lrotracted Straggle on fan Dom‘nzo_—An All- Conci ts: Wight Session—the R-eolution Passed This Morning. SENATE.—After oar report closed, debate on the resolution proposin & commission fo visit Dominica was cotinued. Mr. Sumner said this resolution committed Congress to & DANCE OF BLOOD. it was a new step in gneasures of already start It was designed to com Congress to the policy of annexation. This he aM n when the treaty was rejected. This treaty had been negotiated by violence. This negoti- ation was first gotten uy, Bonasentina Baez, apolitical jockey. Two other political jockeys, Fabens atid Cazneau, joined him, and they seduced into their firm & young officer of the United States army, (General Babcock.) who called himself aide-de-camp to the President. Our President cannot aflord to trample on the weak; he cannot afford to inaugurate violence and inenace in the city of Washington. Mr. Sumner then charged the President with IMITATING PRESIDENT BUCHANAN by seeking to change a committee, saying he wirhed to have M hurz displaced from the Committee on Fereign Affairs, He was told that would affect the German rote. ls hter.| It was then determined to displace Mr. tter- son, who bad po Germans in nis State, (laugh- ter;) butit was afterwards found that that would not do. Mr. Sumner, in conclasiou, asked Sen- ator Morton to persuade the President to cease bis disastrous policy; and to the Vice President said:—I appeal to you, a8 you love this republic, as you are devoted to that party which has ben- oréd you, to exercise your great intluence to set the President right in this matter. [Great seme sation. | TRE SUGAR MILL war then passed, and the Senate took a receas til 7.49 p. m. On the exjiration of the recess the joint reso- tion to authorize the President to restore Com- mander John M. Quackenbush to his rank in the navy was passed, and MR. MORTON REPLIED TO MR. RUMNER, at length, saying: This Administration had been a great success, and was a great success, and the President would p unhagmed through ail these attacks to the end of his term ‘The people cared nothing about these personal matters. They cared not whether Mr. Cox or Mr. Delano was Secretary of the Interior, or whether Mr. Motley or Mr. Schenck was Minis- terto England. The attack of the Senator | Mr. Sumner) upon the President this afternoon was most unprovoked and indefensible. Mr. Morton denied that the President had promise to use his private influcuce with members of Congress. He denied al-o, as had been asserted, that this Tesclution committed Congress to annexation. It did nothing ot the kind. The commissioners are simply to report facts, and Congress is to be guided by their reports, but they have no power to express any opinion on the subject. No ef- forts of the Senator could prevent the acqiisi- tion of San Domingo; it might not come in Presi- dent ‘Stime, but it would come. It was destiny. Mr. Nye said that Mr. Sumner’s attack on the President would be QUOTED WITH JOY by all the democratic papers in the land. ‘he debate was then continued Bayard, Chandler, (who said Mr. S afiicted with Presidential mania,) Conkling, who criticised sharply the position taken by Mr, Sumner toward the President and his course on the San Domingo treaty, and said that he bad attacked the President as an as- sassin.) and Thnrman, (who opposed the an- nexation of San Domingo.) ‘The rote was then taken on the motion of Mr. Buckingham te refer the resolution tothe Com- mittee on Foreign Relations; which was decided in the negative—y. nass 31. Mr. Edmunds said the Senator from Maasa- chusets (Mr. Sumner) had this day forgotten what was due to himscif, and to the State of Massachusetts, and what the attack made on the ve. The last calumny of the Senator to the ground. mer said he uttered no calum ageinst the President. The Senator (Mr. £ ht to make mischief. had falle Mr. Suz b tof Mr. Schurz was modified to provide that the commission visit such other places than San Domingo as they think neces- 1 was then adopted. ard moved that the commissioners ct to confirmation by the Senate. Atter debate, the amendment of Mr. Bayard was rejected—yeas 1), nays 35. Mr. Thurmau moved to adjourn; which was negatived. Mr. Pomeroy said these people in San Do- mingo would come under a much better torm of government if they were incorporated in the United States; and therefore asa philanthropist he favored their annexation. Mr. Scott moved that NO MEMERRS OF CONGRESS DE APPOINTED on the commission; which was lost—yeas 16, nays 25. Morton bere said that in his al ard, in bi anything personal. THOUGHT THE WHIPPING POST & GOOD THING, he was welcome to it. Mr. Bayard replied, that as his purpose was invariably to avoid personal allusions in debate, he felt justified in resenting them in the spirit ‘p which they were offered. He cheerfully ac- cepted the explanation Mr. Schurz moved an amendment calling for intormation in reference to persons exiled trom or imprisoned in Dominica for political reasons, or opposition to annexation. Kejected. Mr. Casserly said THE EVIDENT PURPOSE OF THE MAJORITY who now controiled the Senate, was to permit just so much information as they chose. and no more, Mr. Schurz moved that the commission shail not commence its labors in San Domingo until three months after the naval forces of the United States shall be withdrawa from the Do- Mm ihican waters. Mr. Sumner said that it was that when an election occurre be posted nearer the polls th: tance. This was a great princ: o tional liberty, and it this principle that the amendment of the Senator from Missouri su to carry out. Ic was that the election in f minica should not be conducted ander the pres- sure of bayonets. Mr. Thurman regretted that Mr. Sumner had not thought of this great principle of constita- tional liberty when he voted tor the entorc tent bill and the naturalization btlls,which an- thorized the sending of troops at elections iato New York and other cities. Atter considerable further discussion, the smendmentof Mr. Schurz was rejected—ayes, 12; nays, 34. i ‘Mr. Thurman moved that the commission be also instructed to ascertain the probabic uum- ber of inhabitants of Dominica. Adopted. Mr. Thurmanthen moveda further amen ment, that the commission be instructed to in- quire whether any attempt has been made by any foreign winica. such intimation, said, had been throwm out by the President in his mes- sage. This idea, he (Mr. T.) thought, was the merest cLimera, the merest fancy, but still he should like to have an inquiry made into it. The amendment was jected. Various other amendments were offered and law of England 10 troops should rejected. ,. ly, at 4 o’clock a. m., being on the floor, and his voice being inaudible by reason of the confusion which suspended, as he stated, t WHO HAD THE FLOOR. The Vice staced that the gentieman from Calitornia had the floor. Mr. Casserly said he only desired to know who had the floor, as it was a for him to tell, in view of the fact Senators were talking louder than he could elevate his voice.

HOUSE OF RKEPRESENTATIVES.—It baving been agreed that this day should be devoted to debate, and no other business what- ever to be done, there were but about twenty- five or thirty members present. WR. JONES (KY) ADDRESSED THE HOUSE onthe amnesty bill. He said that it was re- ported in the daily papers that the gentleman from Massachusetts |Mr. Batler) who intro- duced the bill bad said in therepublican caucus that the leaders of the rebellion should be ¢ (Mr. Jones) was not prepared to 3 lh @ course would not have been more magnanimons on the part of the govern- ment aud more merciful to the people of the country.

It was simply @ question . This protection, be claimed, wes not now aforded, and there- sore the time for the removal of disabilities had uot come. was in favor of amnesty, and Mr. Bird (N.
