Bxchting Debate in the Senate on the Presi- dent’s Appointments. An 1 indicated last night, the adjournment of the Sen aie ‘Bas been put off again, for the same as cause alleged be- fore—namely, the President’s failure to manufacture wadical nominations with sufficient rapidity. There was another exciting argument to-day on the subject, and ‘two honorable Senators talked at each other in the best Aldermanic style of your city, Mr, Chandler made some vemarks about Senators intending to succumb to Presi- dent Johnson, and to confirm copperheads and traitors for vacant offices, Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, inquired if ‘Mr, Chandler referred to him (Mr. Fessenden), Mr. ‘Obandier answered that he did, when Mr. Fes- wenden begged leave to say that his honorable friend Bad uttered what was ‘not true,” and which he (Mr.. Fessenden) would take the liberty of burling back “with scorn and contempt.” This “hurl- ‘mg back with scorn and contempt’’ has got to be quite @ usual occurrence in both houses, and now scarcely attracts attention. The wonder is that it does not lead ‘Wo serious consequences sometimes.

Bob Acres is the pattern of some of the honor- sble members. But to return to adjournment. It has been fixed for Thursday, at four o’clock in tho after- The Georgia Injunction Case. Mr. Charles O’Conor expresses himself as thoroughly satisfied that an injunction will issue to restrain the oxe- cation of the Reconstruction measures as against the parties embraced by the Georgia bill, and ho declares that the Court cannot evade the question without dis- grace. The Southern States, he asserts, have the same conatitutional status as before the war; that to maintain ‘that datus was the object of the war, as repeatedly re- eolved by Congress iteelf, and it is as idle for any person ‘Of power now to ignere the fact as it would be to ques- tion the result, On the other hand, Mr. Caleb Cushing ‘advances the opinion that the injunction cannot issue against the Secretary of War any more than it can, ‘against the President himself, because the official acts Of that Secretary are the executive acts of the President, ‘and the Secretary is the executive azent of the Presi- dent; hence it is that the courts have always held that ‘the writ of mandamus will not lie to compel the heads of ‘any of the executive departments to do any act the per- formance of which is within their official discretion. ‘The following is a copy of the subpcwna ordered to be jegued by the Supreme Court :— ‘The State of Georgia, complainant, vs, Kdwin M.

After the Senate had to-day voted to go into executive session, Senator Johnson rose to introduce a resolution, Dut it was declared not in order, owing to the fact above stated. The resolution, it is said, recites various points im Mezican affaire, and concludes with an expression ‘somewhat in the way of an appeal to the liberal govern- ‘meat in bebalf of Maximilian and his army should they fall nto the Bands of the troops of that republic. In ether words, seconding the efforts of the Executive in the same direction. Celebration of Emancipat cred People. ‘The colored demonstration to-day, in commemoration of their emancipation, was quite remarkable. The city seemed transformed into the capital of some great African nation. The streets were truly darkened, with ‘masses of respectable colored folks, male nnd female, ‘well dressed, well bobaved and enthusiastic, The female American citizens of African descent turned into the open air in tremendous abundance, and looked as happy ‘Proud ag tlie fairest ladies of New York on a grand of the famous Seventh regiment, National Guard. In fact, a spectacie was presented to astonish the bitter- eat enemies of the poor African, Among Southerners ‘who viewed tho demonstration were some who had to confess that Sambo showed himself to-day in a favorable and that he is to be a power in the for the future. In the procession ‘were banners, flags, bands of music, companies of Zouaves, mounted marshals with gay regalia, hun- reds of horsemen, stages and carr ages. In nany cases ‘8 white man was beheld driving a stage load of fashion - ably dressed colored gemmen. The procession went ‘through the principal streets, and cheered loudly in front of the Herald, Tribune and Cincinnati Commercial ofiéés and Willard’s Hotel, Thus far I have only beard ofone little occurrence of an unpleasant natere during the demonstration, When the procession was passing the corner of Fourteenth and F streets, a white man, having « horse and cart, attempted to drive through the moving tase of shouting Africans. He was immediately @riven back by indignant colorea people, amid Gerisive shouts and the laughter of both whites and bincks. Every time he essayed to drive through his efforts were aitended with the same result, and for a while there seemed & proba- Dility of a repetition of the scenes in New York uring the last St. Patrick's procession; but the peaceful iuterposition of somo white people of good sense nipped the riot in the bod. Among the distinguished people who reviewed the procession were President Jobneon, at ‘the White House, and Governor Sharkey, of Missiesippi, from the steps of Willard’s Hotel. A proof of democracy 4m the Cabinet was given by Secretary McCulloch yes- terday, who coolly asked by one of the colored mes- seugers of bis office for the loan of his horse, in order that hie sable applicant might figare in the procession of today as one of the marshals. The Secretary Promptly granted the request, remarking that he thought it wouldn't hurt the horse, The Freedmen in Delaware and Maryland, Brevet Major General E. M. Gregory, Assistant Com- missioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau for the States of Delaware and Maryland, has rendered his report for the quarter ending March $1, 1867, The General states that the general condition of the colered people coming under his observation while in Delaware was satisfactory. Labor seemed abundant, and no evidences of idicness ‘were apparent. Thus far no complaiate of inability to secure justice through the civil courte of the State have Deen received from freedmed, and the influence of the Bureau in the State bas only been exerted in the cause of education. It wili be impracticable, he thinka, to fully mako known and extend through Delaware the oljects of the Bureay, other than edacational, unless the Siate i# constituted a sub-district, in charge of . % oltcor mationed at Wilmington or some olper Day by the C law authorizing the sale of negroes into slavery as pun- ishment for crime; a Dill to repeal certain sections of the code relating to negroes, known as ‘Black Laws," to any military officer now in the United States service, or who bas been discharged therefrom, unless said officer be an agent or attorney resident permanently in the State, In carrying out the provisions of the latter reconsidered in the House and once Senate, All these acts tend to impede the efforts of the Bureau, as the civil magistrates, not hesitating to violate the Civil Rights Dill, mo pecuniary sacrifice being involved, will necessitate our having them arrested and brought before the United States Commissioner, which course will be taken by the Assistant Commis- sioner of the Bureau in all cases of neglect on their part to do justice to freedmen. The General reports the con- @ition of the colored people throughout the State of Maryland as very satisfactory, so far as the rights of laborers and the administration of justice are concerned, the majority of the complaints received being against Persons accused of defrauding claimants for bounty, pensions, &o. Destitation In Leuisia: Brevet Brigadier General Mower, Assistant Commis - sioner of Freedmen’s Affairs in Louisiana, reported to the Commissioner, in reply to an inquiry as to whether there was any destitution in that State, that on account of the destruction of the levees by the late floods, and the inandation of the plantations along the river, a great deal of destitution may be expected. The State of Louisiana, which was not among the number of the Southern States that applied for the relief appropriated by Congress, will now be obliged to call on that fund for assistance, Appointment Confirmed. The Senate last week reconsidered the vote by which ex-Governor Bradford, of Maryland, was confirmed as ‘Surveyor of the Port of Baltimore, but to-day again con- firmed the nomination.

He entered the army as a captain and ended as a major general.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Ausany, April 16, 1867, YBTO AND DEFEAT OF THE BROADWAY RAILROAD BILL. According to general expectation the Gavernor sent in to-day his veto of the Broadway Surface Railroad bill. When it had been read through in the Senate, the house, in which it originated, the President put the usual ques- tion as to whether it should pass despite the veto, when ‘@ motion was made to lay the matter on the table, The motion was negati The previous question then re- curred, A vote of 6 ayes to 24 pays then sustained the Veto. Involved with the defeat of the Surface bill is that of the Contral Railroad Fare bill. By a combination, tech - nically known as “log rolling,” both bills—par nobdile Sratrum—if brought upat the same time might have been carried over the yetoes, The slide of the Broad- way has undermined and knocked away the last prop of the Central, and both schemes lie in ruins, to be re- surrected not sooner than another session. ‘The speculation in the stgokk of the Central must be immense in your city. This morning the steamer and trains brought to Albany several hundred bankers, brokers, stock jobbers and private speculators, who are awaiting the result of the vote to-night. That result they know now to be forestalled in the defeat this morn- ing of the Broadway bill. NEW YORK FIRE DEPARTMENT MEASURES, Tne bills appointing an extra Fire Commissioner, a Fire Marehal and increasing the salaries in the Motro- politan Fire Department, having passed the Senate to- day, only await the Governor’s signature, The Governor will probably make the appointments to-morrow in time for the usual Wednesday executive session of the Sen. ate—the last one of this session. In addition to the appointment for the extra Fire Commissioner there is a coming vacancy to be filled—that of Commissioner Pinckney. This, with the appointment of Tax Commis- goners under the new law, has made the Exccutive Chamber the Mecea of many a political pilgrimage dur- ing the few days that have elapsed of the present week. THE QUARANTINE BILI, There was another hard fight over the quarantine question in the Senate to-day. Senators Lahau, Pierson and Henry C. Murphy fought, as usual, to locate the ata- tion anywhere but near or on Long Island, Amend. ments fixing Barren Island and the shoals in the lower bay as the location of the quarantine were earnestly ad- vocated by them, but voted dowa. Finally, when s motion was made to order the bill tos third reading, Mr. Murpby threatened to resort to the strategy of speaking against time. The threat had its effect, and progress only was reported, THR TAX LEVY PAssED, The County Tax Levy bill, as amended, has passed tho Senate. Aipany, April 16—11 P. M. TRE QUARANTINE QUESTION was agaim under discussion in the Senate to-might. A motion to order to a third reading was laid on the table. ‘THE VETO OF THE CENTRAL RAILROAD PARE BILL was sustained by a vote of eight ayes to twenty-three noes on the question of passage despite the Governor's Objections, The friends of the measure attempted a curious trick for its reintroduction to-night in the lower house. A reso‘ution was offered to order into Committee af the Whole some gbscure plank road bill, the intention Doing to substitnte the Centrai Fare bill section by sec. tion, next amend the title by substituting that of the Gentral bill, Dd then order to a third reading—the only Possible way of advancing the, bill this session, with 0 much opposition to it. It would, of courma, be legiti- mate legisiation, The tergiversant Bemus stood in the doorway of the closk room intently. watching the proceedings and pulling the stings of his puppete, Mr. Vandenberg protested against the trick, saying that the friends of the bill ought to act in a more manly way than to resort to such a sub- terfuse. Whereupon Mr, Williams, the author of the resolution, frankly confessed that it was the intention to make the substitation just referred to, The resolu. tion Incked « two-third vote, however, and went by the board. THR ELEVATED RAILROAD IN GREBNWICH AIRERT. The Senate bill permitting the West Side and Yon- kers Elevated Railway Company to construct an ex- perimental half mile in Greeawich street, commencing at the Battery, was taken up im the Assembly to-night, and retarned to the standing committee to report com- plete—a virtual order to a third reading. ‘THE EXCIR LAW.
