The rumored division on this subject in Cabinet councils last Friday gains little credit here. It is not probable that any such premature @iscussion occurred. The President was to have fasued before this a proclamation declaring the war ended, the Union preserved, and the writ of habeas cor- pasrestored throughout the country. A controversial discussion of this measure is much more likely to have ‘ereated the alleged division. ‘THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE ON THE RESOLUTION TO ADMIT THE ARKANSAS DELEGATION. ‘Mr. Green Clay Smith’s resolution to admit the Arkan- pas delegates to the floor of the House pending the de- cision of the great reconstruction case came up in due eourse to-day, when Mr. Smith and others pleaded for We eateusiun Uf the cuurtesy. Mr. Btovens regrotiod having established a precedent for this sort of thing in his motion to admit the Tennessee delegation, and argued Abat the idea of admitting any gentlemen claiming seats m Congress from the late Southern States was prepos- terous. Messrs. Kasson and Older, sensible republicans, favor it, because the people will not believe Congress has fairly heard the case if they refused to admit delegates of approved loyalty, Mr. Johnson, the Arkansas ¢laim- ent, isa truly loyal man, having served a long time as colonel of a Union regiment. After debate the resolu- tion was laid on the table by eight majority, about forty Republicans voting for it. SENATOK HENDERSON IN A MUDDLE. i ‘This afternoon the Senate has been mainly occupied swith a speech from Senator Henderson, of Missouri, who ‘still had the floor when an executive session was moved, ‘His remarks already cover about two hours, and are the most candid confession of personal mystification in the subject matter under discussion that bas yet been pro- mounced this session, The drift of the discourse was upon Henderson's amendment to the constitution, pro- ‘viding that no State may withhold the right of suffrage © account of color; but the speaker digressed UUs away from the theme, and dwelt upon his P&onal philanthropy as a quondam slaveholder and his ving forthe domestic happiness of his home Father that © honor of perpetuity in office, He remark dat the outset he did not know whether he should be termed a rebeh.« conservative democrat, ofwhat not, aad there is nothite jy tho gentleman's speech thus Sar that has sorved U entity him with etther of the classes named. The only saroments which the Honator + Utbered at all tothe pot deing his position are em. braced in the assertions that bk. pereved the country ‘worse off now than two years ag and while he wae impatient to receiv“e the absent clever ustes into com plete unity again, his anxiety to that ¢t would not permit him to receive them under their ina. ona Mr. Henderson has been generally accousted Conservative in bis political proclivities ; but his spose, of to-day tims not placed his naine in any political directory. ‘TUE WITHDRAWAL OF GOODS FROM BOND. ‘There swarms (6 be w growing disposition in the Senate to reconsider the bill extending the time for withdrawal of goods from Warehouses, The subject has ‘been up repeatedly of ‘and is still open. Senators Sprague, Morrill, Sherman and Ciarke took up the matter this morning, the former sustaining at considerable Jength bis proposition to reconsider. The matter goes over until the morning hour to-morrow. RECAPTURE OF A STEAMER STOLEN BY GUERIT.LAS, TOGETHER WITH FIVE OF THE KOuBERS.

Five of the guerilian were also captured and transferred to the army authorities. The capture wax made by the sieamer Teutonia, under command of Acting Master Stannard, who reports that, proceeding on the ex- edition on the 29th of January up the Tombigbee, he found the steamer Belfast tied to the bank. Went along- side and ascertained that ahe had been robbed of almost all her cargo, which consisted of five hundred and ninety four bales of cotion, He proceeded up and found the wtaamer Meringy loading cotton which bad been stolen from the Beifast by guerillas; left a guard om her and proceeded up to Paris woodyard, about one hundred miles (rom Mobile, up the Tombigbee, taking the Belfast along to Where a part of the cotton was taken from her the day before, Here the cotten was found and five querilins captured, After loading the Belfast again, the expedition started with her and reached Mobile aafely on the morning of the Siet of January.

Samuel Register and the Rev. §. Rorzell, presiding elders; and the Rev. Norval Wilson, of Winchester, and the Rev, Dr. Bond, @ Baltimore, The Rev Wilson addressed the President, saying they bad waited upon him to assure him of the hearty co-operation of their body ip ail matters coming within ite legitimate «phere of operations tn #0 far an that may be necesary (o secure and maintain the peace aud quietness of the country.

Mr. Bingham, of Obio, an able radical member of the House, brings another amendment to the constitution, giving Congress power to make all laws which shall be necessary to secure to citizens of each State the privileges of citizens of the several States, Mr. Stevens objected to making this amendment the special order for Monday next, and it went back to the Reconstruction Com- mittee, 4 THE COATS OF ARMS OF NEVADA AND WEST VIR- GINIA. ‘The States of West Virginia and Nevada are to be re- Presented among the pictures upon the ceiling of the Hail of Representatives. The Commissioner of Public Buildings was instructed by resolution of the House to-day to see to it that the coats of arms of those now ‘States were incorporated in the collection which orna- ments the roof ef the Hall, So far the destructionists have overlooked the fact that eleven Southern States are ‘still represented in Congress by these reminders, THE BANKING LAWS. The Hon. Freeman Clarke, Comptroller of the Curren- cy, was this morning before the Committee on Banks and Banking, by request, to express his opinion concerning the practical working of our present banking laws and some that ure contemplated in the future. No bills are likely to be introduced by Mr, Pomeroy, however, nor amendments recommended until the Ways and Means Committee have acted upon the loan bill so long under discussion. THE TAX QN PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS. The leading photographers of the country are assem- bling in the city by agreement to urge Congress to re- duce the rate of taxes on their products, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and the principal Western cities will be represented. INDIAN AFFAIRS. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs bad a meeting this morning and was wholly occupied in taking the testimony in cases of alleged frauds of government agents on the frontier. The evidence in these cases will be quite voluminous, it is said, and will delay the publica- tion of the committee's report, with which it will be in- corporated, about a month longer. Complaintg have occasionally been made of petty de- predations committed by the Omaha and the Winnebago Indians, Agent Furifs alludes to them in his January report, and says the charges are doubtless true in many instances. There is, however, but one remedy. Let the settlers quit trading with and employing the Indians, and the evil, so far as the Indians are concerned, will cease, and agents will be able to keep the Indians on their reservations, The agent states that many mean white men commit depredations that are often wrongfully charged to the Indians. MILITARY COURT MARTIAL. The court martia! recently organized, of which General Emery is President and Major T. Gaines Judgo Advocate, commenced its session this morning. The first case which it bas taken up is that of Captain Thomason, of the adjutant generals, and Lieutenants Rufus King and Cushing, all of the Fourth regular artillery. The cases grow out of @ street brawl in Georgetown a few weeks ago, in which a man was shot. The teetimony comes mainly from the policemen of that precinct. RESIGNATION OF GENERAL BELL. Brevet Brigadier General J. H. Bell resigned his com- mission to-day. General Bell entered the service in April, 1861, as a private, and has worked his way up to his present position.

Parsoue, Senatur elect from Alabama, Mr. Mi in said :—As the State of Alabama is one of the States that during the period of four years har been in febellion against the United States, and as Congress bas not determined whether the political condition of that State is such as to entitle the State to representation in the Senate, I do not expect that Governor Parsons will be requested to come forward and take the oath at this time ; and I will ask that the credentials be reeetved and laid upon the table to await the further action of the Senate.

Mr. Moree, (rep.) of Me., called up the joint resolu- tion to amend the constitution on the subject of repre- sentation, Mr. Sumer, (rep.) of Mass,, offered an amendment, to insert the following words at the close of the original proposition, “and they shall be exempt from taxation of all kinds,” so as to make the ameudment provide that those who are excluded from the right of suffrage on ac- count of color or race shall be exempt from taxation. Mr Hevperson, am se Mo., addressed the Senate at length in favor ¢ amendinent offered by re- cently prohibiting any Stato from withdrawing the elec- tive franchise on account of color. He said the Prost- dent in his speech to the Virginia delegation had said that he regarded what was known as the radical party as the great danger to this country. He (Mr. Henderson; had honestly and earnesly supported the Presigent his administration since his accession to the Executive chair, His object was to restore, if possible, at the earliest practicable moment, the Union of these States. He desired now todo so. On the 24th of February last he advocated the adm:ssion of Louisiana and Arkansas. He believed Mr. Lincoln had the authority to do what he did-for the reorganization of those States, The war was then existing, and it was our pur} to restore the Union as rapidly as possible; and it was thought that the rebellion ought In ‘part to be suppressed by these new State organizations, The rebels did not participate in these State organizations; they strongly ‘opposed them, The men who participated in the reor- anization of Louisiana and Arkansas were Union wen. Referring to the amnesty proclamation of Mr. Johnson, he denied the right of @ President to grant amnesty to rebels exeept on the conditions prescribed by the act of July, 1862, which requires that an oath must be Mken before amnesty can be granted. Adverting to the pro- clamation reorganizing the State of North Caroling, he deniod the right of the President to prescribe the quali- fications of voters, as he had done in that proclamation. He believed the state governments iu the Soath must be reorganized before there could be a perfect Union of the States, But if the State governments were turned back to the men who had been in rebellion, was it not rea- sonable to expect that they would rebel again? He would ask the Fenate if Congress could not pass ap act de- priving the late rebels of their right of citizenship, notwithstanding the President's amnesty. If Congress had the power to do that, it ought to be done, The men who went into the rebellion ought to be disfranchised and prevented from taking part in the work of reorganization. He read from the sddress of the Vir- ginia delegation to the President, and remarked that it was signed by a man named Baldwin, among others. ‘Mr. Witson asked if that was not the Baldwin who was a member of the rebel Congress and who nominated Gen- eral Lee for Governor of Virginia. Mr. Henperson understood it was, Mr. Sumyxk inautred if that was the sort of men who gave advice to the President, Mr. Hexvenson was speaking of Mr. Lincoln's plan for reorganizing on the basis of one-tenth of the people of a State, when Mr! Wak inquired how, under a republican form of government, one-tenth of a people could govern nine- tenths, Mr. Henperson asked if the government of South Caro- lina was vot repubtican when she entered the Union. Mr. Wane sa d ft was not. Mr. Heypensoy said our fathers must have lied about ‘Mr. Waur.—They were mistaken—that’s all. Mr. Hexpxrson continued—He contended for the right giving the control of the State goverumenis ty loyal men. Yet men who did this were denounced as Jacobins and roundheads. Mr, Somxen—By whom? Mr. Hexoenson—The President says #0 to the Virginia delezation, He refers to such men as the Senator from Massachussetts, He ix the most dangerous man I know of. He is always making White-wasling speeches, and doing other dangerous things. The President alludes to him when he taiks abont hammering at one end while the anvil was going at the other. Mr. Souxue said that did not apply to him. It must be musnt that the democrats were bammering at Ubix Mr. Hexpersos aswared Mr. Sumner that he wax the man whom the President meant, Referring again to the interview between the Virginia delegation and the Pre- sident, he was interrupted by Mr. Wiis0x, who said—I want to ask the Senator if he tm regard to the opinions of Or auy man of that cines, or any country who sympathize with men the b them, that they will be ably to iniinence afuirs in any of the States that in 1864 voted for Mr. Lincotn for President 1 ask if he does not believe that these States, by a most decisive majority, a majority larger than they gave in 1864, are to-day opposed tv the ad mission of any of these States to tation in this chamber unieas they give security for the tuvare. Mr. Hesoenson—As 1 before stated, I am a conserve tive. Lam regarded ax @ conservative, not as a radical 1 want these States back immediately. Mr Wisoxs—So do we, Mr. Hexpexsox—But J am not anxious about it as to take them back im their present condition, Mr. He: derron then discussed the rixbt of Congress to distrat chise rebels, He believed that right existed and eng! to be exercised.

DERATE ON ADEITTING TO THR PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR 4% ARKASYAS SORMIIER, Mr. Surrm, (rep.) of Ky., offered « revolution thet Mr. James M. Johnson, claiming to be a member alert from the Third Congressional district of Arkansas, be adinitted to the privileges of the floor of the House during the pending of bis claim as a member theroof. Mr. srevens wanted the resolution re(erred te the Com mittee on Reconstruction. Mr. Saurrn said that Colonel Johnson was an applicant for a coat in the Thirty eighth Congress, Hye credentials went to the Committee on Elections, but afthoagh be was not admitted axa member, the Houne gave lin bie per diem and mileage. Colonel Johnson was one of the original loyaliet# of the State of Arkansas, and never furrendered any opinion in favor of the Unipn, He en Neted @ regiment and served as ite pA. for Uree years with distinction, in variour engagements.

On & former occasion he made « motion to admit, without Baming thes character, certan gentiomen eivitege, ragh whe, their friends, had asked that He did not then their chai were from Tennessee, To sdmit members from ac) one Of these defunct States would be monstrous, Mr. Surm, with ail due deference to the gentlemen Temarked that he difered from him on the point a whether the State was defunct or not.

It was & slander on loyal men, and he threw back the charge in {ndigpatiqn and contempt, Mr. Kasson, (rep.) of lowa, said that as fe intended to vote to give the privilege to the gentleman from Arkan- he would state the reasons which controlled him, As as they kept such loyal men at arms length they would angiilé to hear both sides of the question, It ‘Was necessary they should confer with those gentlemen, As Lo ascertain all the facts accessible, then he would at liberty # vote for or against the admission of members, When a man like Colonel Johnson came here, 088 arms Were hot red with loyal blood—Dbut if red at with the blood of rebels—he should regret their being turned away a8 unclean aud not even permitted to show their faces here.

Exciting Debate on the Health Bill in the Assembly. ~~ Refusal to Concur in the Senate Bill by a Vote of 44 to 69. &e. &e. &e, ‘THR WRALTH WILL. ‘The great length of the debate in the Assembly on the Health bill to-day, and its extended range, will not admit of review ina telegram. The speakers have held the highest positions in the public foram and made their most stronuous efforts in the debate. From the epening of the session this morning, when the bill came up in Committee of the Whole, its progress has grown in warmth, brilliancy and ubility every hour, At mid- night it continues unabated in spirit. Cochrane is speak ing in reply to Littlejohn, The latter has replied to the previous speech of Tromain. ™ ‘The speaker of the Assembly took the floor Jate in the evening to speak an hour and a half, THis remarks were not only partisan, but he entered keenly and bitterly upon the differences between the factions of his party, from the details of the late caucus back to the Wads- worth campaign. He rebearsed every familiar point in the dispute between the Woed and Greeley interests, and took the most open and aggressive views of every point Mr. Littlejohn bad preceded him in an hour's sp eels, which ts pronounced here the ablest he has ever made The remarks of Parker and Pitta denouncing Weed and the conservatives opeved up this family scolding, and their arguments turned out the dirty linen of the party for a general sanitary ventilation, Cochrane i# making the principal speech, in a purely logical point of view, Of course the labored and excited speech of Tremain was the feature of the day. It was delivered in bis best manner, and the occasion will be recollected ax « marked and brilliant one in the annals of legislative debate. ‘Tue galleries Lave been crowded to the ceilings, and are now filled, even at midnight. The crowd has ob tained standing room, and pushed In upon the floor aud pasmages of the Assembly chembor, While the excite ment of the mombers has commupicated Itself to the audieuce the general aspect of the House has been or derly and entirely temperate. The debate has been bitter and exciting, but no way violent, Tho motion to substitute the Senate bill for that of the Assembly committee was put at twelve o'chuck to-night precisely, the vote standing forty four to rixty nine, which overridew the Senate bill, and jndiewtes the speedy pansage of the Avsembly bill THE POLICE COMMINEION Tremain intimated in his speech the detergpination of the republicans to OM the place of Police im. sioner MeMarray by a Union party man, 4 Devin ig now understood to have the support of conser vatives for the vacancy, a* they eannot rally thir men on McMurray.
