Yostorday’s Congressional proceedings wore vory inter- esting. In the Senate the first report from the joint Reconstruction Committee was submitted, consisting of ‘@ proposed constitutional amendment, similar to others heretofore suggested in the House of Representatives, to base Congressional representation on the entire number of population, excepting such persons as are by State laws denied the voting privilege on account of race or color. A petition was presented from the Poston Board of Trade, asking the age of an act suspending y laws of the Southt b of time to enable the operations of ¢ ern States a suilicient Boston merchants to enforce their demanis for debts due them in the South on the b eaking out of the rebellion, A petition of the same character from the Chamber of Commerce of this city was presented som» days ago, Senator Ciark called up tho bil presorib ng Quailfications for jurors, providing that merely the tur mation or expression of opinion, founded on newspaper reports, shall not disqualify for jury duly, aad stipulat- ing for the removal from any District or Circuit Court of the United States to the Supreme Co: the District of Columbia of trials for crimos the penalty of which may be death, This bill, the latter seciion of which is designed 10 cover the case of Jeff. Davia, was objected to a3 cx post facto legisla‘ion by Mr. Sumner, Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, concurring with Jhim, and it was laid over till Thursday. The resolution to refer all documents relating to the representation of thé ox-rebel States to the Reconstruction Committee was adopt'd. The bill enlarging the powers of the Freed- men’s Bureau was then taken up, and its consideration occupied the remai:der of the open session. After speoches by several Senators, the proposed amend- ment of Mr. Cowan, to efclude Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky and Missouri from the Burvau’s jurisdiction, . was defeated by thirty-thre> mays to eleven yeas, Several other amendments were proposed and rejected, An amendment restricting the Bureau's military jurisdiction to the exercise of the officers belonging to it was adopted, Without conclud- ing action on the bill, the Senate went into executive session, and conlirmed several Presidential nominations, including those for forcign Ministers of Mr. Bigelow to France; Mr. George Harrington, of Ge orgin, to Switzer. land; General Kilpatrick to Chile; George 1. Y aman, of Kentucky, to Denmark, and Joseph A. Wright, of Indiana, to Prussia. On the opening of the doors the Senate In the House of Representatives a large number of matters were introduced and referred, including bills providing for the defence of our nor(heastern frontier, to regulate the elective franchise in the District of Colum- Dia by requiring a residence of one year previous to elec- tion, to prevent counterfeiting of national currency, for the establishment of a new navy yard on Delaware river, giving penstons to certain soldiers of the war of 1812, granting bounties to the volunteers of 1861 and 1862, providing for payment of national sol diera kept in prison by the rebels, requiring every person on taking office under the national government to subscribe to the oath of allegiance, for the construction of a ship canal around Niagara Fails, and fér the admis- sion of Colorado as 4 State. Mr. Stovena offered, but subsequently withdrew, owing to absence of am opportu- nity to explain it,@ proposition that our goverument loan to the republic of Mexico a sum sufficient to pre- vent the establishment of a Mexican monarchy. Reso- lutions calling for the trial of Jot. Davis and other rebels by court martial were introduced and referred to the Tudicrry Committee. ‘Ihore was also introduced and referred to this comnittee a proyosed constita- tional amendment to guad against the office of Presi dent becoming vacant by provid’ng for the succession to it in case of necessity of the Supreme Court Judges. ‘The same committee were insirceved to report whether furthor legisiation is necessary t» compel employes of the government in the Southern States to take the test oath, The Military Committee were directed to report on the expediency of providing for the payment of national goldiers from the dave of their discharge until thoy were relieved of duty. The Ways and Means Committee were instructed to con sider the propriety of levying the internal revenue tax on tobaeco on the raw leaf and of reducing the tax ‘on common cigars and manufactured tobacco, Mr. Grider, demoorat, of Kentucky, introduced resolutions favoring the immediate admission of the Southern Re presentatives, which were referred to the Reconstract.on Committees, President Johnson was requested to com- municate any official information he may have regarding proceodings of the Congress of Colombia in honor of Presi- dont Juarez, of Mexico, A resolution was introduced com- mending the refusal of President Johnson to accept the gift of a carringe and horses offored to him by New York merchants, but, after some debate, was laid over. The Roconstruction Committeo presented the same report submitted to the Senate, and a long and earnost debate followed on the proposed constitutional amendment which {t contains, Mr. Stevens desiring to proes an im mediate vote on the question, which the democratic members atrongly opposed. Finally the report was or- dered to be printed, and was made the special order for to day, after which the House adjourned. THE LEGISLATURE. Both branches of our State Legislature met at seven o'clock last evening. In the Senate the preliminary re port of the State census for 1865 was presented and re- forred to the Apportionment Committees. The bill em powering the managers of the Five Points House of Ia. dustry to bind out children, with their consent, was ordered to a third reading. In the Assembly the report of the New York Prison Association was presented. Bills were introducsd to change the name of the New York Free Academy to Now York Free College, to revive and extend the charter of the Now York Female Assistance Society, and to authorize the towns on the line of the route to subscribe fo and bold stock in the New York and Oswego Mid- fand Railroad Company. Mr. Litticjobn introduced a geries of resolutions, which were adopted, in rela- fion to our quarantine arrangements, proposing that the Governor bo requested to ask the national government, dn vow of the threatened approach of the cholera, to piace gratuitously and temporarily at the disposal of the Quarantine Commissioners such hulks or veesels ag may be needed for quarantine purposes, until some other provision is made by law; that our representatives in Congress be requested to urge the passage of an act appro- priating such a as, with « likeeum which may hereaf. tor be appropriated by the State, will be sufficient for the erection on some isolated location in the bay of hospitals for the reception of (he sick, and warehouses for the storage of goods and merchandise arriving in the port of Now York in vessels subject to quarantine, and that the Commissioners of Quarantine be directed to report at an early day tothe Ht an estimate for the construction of saltable eeronm ‘oon for a permanent quarantine fet om was also adopted calling \ ee apm ic vf E Nat of Ruble Tpatruatiog ta seugrt - give later and more satisfactory details of the capture him with uttered fi pis na from the Mexican imperialists, on the 6th, of the town of fnany pti Baca Sy on eee, Cece completely hemmed in and cut off from supplies.

The country exports rice, sugar, pepper, horns, hides and other articles, and imports almost all its luxu- ries and comforts. A good market for all sorts of muslins, cloths, hardware, machinery, arms, crockery, jewelry and miscellaneous ar- ticles exista there, and if properly developed will prove very profitable. The imports have doubled in amount since 1859; but on account of our war the English bave had a monopoly of the trade and its benefits. Before the war the tonnage of our vessels engaged in com- merce with Siam Was within four thousand tons, of the English tonnage; but the rebelfion, en- dated.to the 7th of January.

Addit onal particulars relative to the rumors noticed in the Hraxp of Sunday and yesterday, of prospects of an early termination of the war between Paraguay and the allies, are given in our Rio Janciro correspon- denoe published to-day. A Paraguayan steamer, having on board a messenger from President Lopez, with despatches for President Mitre, of the Argentine Confederation, arrived ot Corrientes, on the Parana, on the 28d of November last, and delivered the documents in his charge to the chief naval officer of the allies. Though nothing positive concerning the nature of this mission had been learned, it was generally thought at first to mean peace; but it seems not to have been al- lowed to causo any cessation of allied operations, The Brazilians, it appears, have no great faith in the con- by the former for alleged non-payment of taxes, The litigation seems to be a sequel to the political excitement that prevailed in that church a few years ago owing to | to Mexico and very indignant as to Maximilian, Colonel Whittlesey, Assistant Commiasioner of the Le doctrines furminated from the pulpit by 16 | who is showing himself at the same time both spina Court of ‘deneral Saestowa yesterday Samuel B. incapable and ungrateful to France, to whom he Vance, charged with cutting John H.

At that time our commerce? Was & mere cipher com- pared with what it ow 1s. The voyages of our merchant ships wer® then confined to « relatively limited sphere, 0d the circumnavi- gation of the globe was ecarcei\¥ ever attempted by our ships. Steam navigation unknown. The idea of the occm’rence of a rebellion as prodigious as that throv.gh which the country has just passed could sarcely have been conceived. In short, the entire aspect of American commerce has since tint time been completely revolutionized. What was then but an infant has now assumed gigan- tic proportions. It should be further remarked in this connection that it was no fault of Amoeri- flag. The exigencies it. The nation was unable to protect their veessels on the high aeas. ‘Their ships were at the mercy of a few but formide- ble craisers of the enemy, and they obviated the difficulty by adopting, what military men do in emergencies, a species of strategy when they have not the strength to cop@with a foe. Another point: These ship-owners did not transfer their flag to the enemy; they did not adopt the ensign of the adversary as a protec- tion. On the contrary, they inourred a double penalty by being discovered sailing under false colors. Some sailed under the British flag, some under the French; others again, in- discriminately, under the flags of Russia, Spain, Portugal, Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, and almost every other known flag. Some vessels that hailed from Hong Kong, China, were built and owned in Boston; and one, re- cently lost on this coast, hailed from Liver- pool, while she was owned and her insurance was paid here. In short, itis 9 reasonable view of the subject to excuse, if not the conduct of American ship-owners matter, for the reason that, while they protected their own interests at no expense to the gov- ment, they kept open our commerce with for- eign countries and enabled us to receive, al- belt under a quasi-foreign flag, materials of - war—saltpetre, for one article—that helped us to carry on the conflict successfully. It must be remembered, also, that all these vessels, although ostracized by the Secretary of the Treasury, are still owned by American citizens; that they atill, in portion of the American that they. are insured in American insurance companies, and that all losses ‘are paid by those companies. In reality, our commerce has not been depreciated by the tact of these vessels adopting in an extremity another fiag. The same amount of capital and the same number of vessels remain here. government may have loat by the non-receipt of tonnage duties from them, while under another flag, is a mere bagatelle when com pared with what it may receive after our com- nierce is again fully restored to its Inte flour ishing condition. If it be necessary to revise the navigation laws in order to restore them te the old flag, now that they again seck its pro- tection, by all means do so; and thus we shall be carrying out, not only on land, but upon the | seas, President Johnson’s admirable recoa- , struction policy. — Amaual Ball of the New York Fire De- favor any rolaation of comprise & marines partme: THE ACADEMY OF MOSIO CROWDED WITH Tau BEAUTY AND FASHION OF THE METROPOLIS.
