Wasunaros, Fed. } 11 o'Clook P.M. Tho Correspondence Between the Presiden: A and General Gran 4 The publicity given to the correspondence between the President and General Grant in regard to the sarrender of the War Department to Mr, Stanton has given rise to ® variety of opinions among the politicians, Thp radi- cals appear to derive the greatest satisfaction from the unreserved expression of opinion contained in the Gene- tal's letters to the President, They consider this as equiv@lent to a nomination as the radical candidate for the Presidency, During the reading of the correspond- ence in she House a broad smile was particu- larly moticeable upon the counterance of the General’s friend, Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, who evi- dently relished the exposure of the proceedings. It is said that the President will make public to-mor- row his reply to General Grant, It wil! be supported by the statements of the various members of the Cabinet confirmatory of the President's version of the iate dif- ficulty tu the War Office. The Impenchmont Att te be Revived. The Johngon-Grant correspondence was before the Reconstruction Committee to-day, at a special meeting, for the purpose of considering whether any steps have been taken by the President and Cabinet to violate or evade the Reconstruction bills, the Tenure of Office act, or any other act of Congress, A sub-committee was ap- Pointed to examine into the matter and report at an early day. Resignation of Minister Adams—His Suc- cessor at the Court of St, James. ‘There is no longer any doubt among well informed habituds of the departments that the resignation of Charles Francis Adams bas boen received and accepted by the Executive, Speculation, of course, is rife as to who will be the successor of Mr, Adams, and I learn tbat the namo of Reverdy Johnson is before the Pres!- Gont ag the one most likely to be nominated to the post of Minister at the Court of St, James, Tho Senator from Maryland bas had no interview with the President in re- gard to the matter, and may be unaware of the honor intended to be conferrea upon him; but he has 00 ob- fection, as { am informed, to accept the post of diplomat at the British court. His nomination would certainly be ratified by the Senate, for no conservative in Con- grees stands 80 well with republican party. Dir. in years, retains big wonted vigor of health and intellect and possesses every requisite to make an ac- complished representative of this country abroad. It may be added, however, that woll informed persons have announced that Mr, Seward is likely to be the suc- cessor of Mr, Adams at the Court of St, James. Itis believed that he is in full accora with the President in regard to the proper policy to be pursued by the United ‘States as well in the Alabama as in the adopted citizen question, which are now prominently before the two governments for final settlement. No diMculty would be experienced, it is thought, in obtaining the approval of the Senate to this nomination, and it is jikely that tb position of the British Cabines im regard to the above questions, which will be made Known by Mr, Thornton, will i@fiuence the selection of Mr. Adams’ successor and occasion the appointment of the secretary of tate.

Surratt. Tho Secretary of State, in reply to a resolution of the House, sent if acommunication to-day saying that the trial of John H. Surratt was reported at the government expense, By the request of the District Attorney and the counsel for the United States one thousand copies were printed for the Department of State, as it was ap- prehended that the work would have to be frequently re- ferred to, and so the exso was of the highest judicial importance. Copies were distributed to high officers under the government and to our consular and Giplomatic agents, Tho case is again sot for trial on the 24th of Fobraary. It is oelieved the prosecution would be embarrassed and hindered by a premature publica- tfon of the cost of the arrest and trial of Surratt, and for this reason the Secretary of State is of opinion that ft would aot be compatible with the public interest to make further answer to the resolution.

It {s agsumed that the reason why Mr. Thoraton, the aew British Minister, was not presented yesterday to the President, as arranged, was because the President desired to advise with the Cabinet on the Alabama claims and other questions before he should reply to the usual Speech of the Minister, made on such occasions, Mr. ‘Thornton was enly informed of the postponement of the ceremony yesterday morning, It is expected thas it will ocour to-morrow, when the exact condition of our relations with England wili be touched+upon by tho President, The ovent excites a good deal of interest in diplomatic circles, Proposed Reduction of the Army. The Committeo on Appropriations will report ® proviso to the Army Appropriation bill looking to a reduction of the regular army. No Oew appointments are to be made, except graduates of West Point, until the army is Feduced to twenty-five Tegiments of infantry, seven regiments of cavalry and five of artillery, The proviso will have the effect of ex- cluding civilians as oMcers from tho military forces, while it will only cause a very gradual reduction of the army. Th ed Faml Sweden.

The governmomt has made ‘an appropriation for assistance, and through private sabscriptions in the Scandinavian coountries, in England and Russia, a meagre supply of food is likely to reach them in time, The mild autumn greatly favors thom ta this respect, This country, go little favored by mature, bas, by industry, intelligence and the modern eppliances, been able to grow a surplus of cereals over the consumption, Tho present year, however, will necessitate large imports from Russia and elsewhere. THE FORTIETH CONGRESS. SENATE. Wasmnarow, Feb. 5, 1868, BMPLOYMENT OF COUNSEI. FOR DEFENCE THE ARMY. Mr. Howarp (rep.), of Mich., introduced a bill author- izing the Secretary of War to employ counsel in cortain cases to defend Generals Meade and Ruger, or any other officer proceeded againat because of the Reconstruction acta, Mr. Hewpricas (dem.), of Ind,, asked whether any necessity existed for any such resolution when such power already existed. Mr. Howarp prosentod a lotter from the Secretary of War saying that these genorals had applied for counsel to defend them against the procoeuings commenced by Mr. Jenkins, late Governor of Georgia, and recommend- ing the passage of snch a resolution. Mr. Ho then referred to the fact that the Attorney ral, whose duty {t was to defend the War Depart- ment, bad on important occasions declined to appear and defend {t in the Supreme Court. We had had thu: mnly prejadged the whole case— Avery strange proceeding—before judgment had been proneuneed by the Supreme Court that the Congres- sional legisiation was unconstitutional, It showed par- tiganism. Mr. Snerway, (rep.) of Ohio, thought that the Attorney General, having openly committed himself against the constitutionality of a law, ought not to be called upon in any case under {t, and he should not be censured be- cause he had been required to advise the President in a ‘eval capacity in regard to this law. r. Jomnson, (dem.) of Md, fully agreed with the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman). The President or any dopartment hada right to call upon the Attorney General who bad acted in giving bis opinion honestly, whether mistaken or not, and doubti he benator from Michigan (Mr. Howard) would have acted in the same manner. Mr. Howarn said that if the Attorney General was con- scientiously of the opiaion that the Reconstruction saws wore unconstitutional the simple remedy for bim was to resign. C ngress would not force bim into coart against his convictions, He could allow some gentleman to ap- who would perform his duty, Mr. Davis, (dem.) of Ky., here recited the circum. stances of the McArdle case, and claimed that the At toroey General could not do otherwise than he bad done, Mr. Hanpricxs argued that neither the Attorney General nor any other lawyer should sink his convic- tions for any purpose, and asked whether the Senator thought that gentleman should appear betore a court or a Cabinet, in any case whatever, and maintatn an act of Congress as the law when he befieved the constitation to be the law, M. Howarp said the Attorney General's opinion was given when the bill was before the President, and before it passed by a two-thrd vote; and be again ‘condemned the course of the Attorney General. Mr, Hexpaicks asked If the passage of the bill by a two- thirds vote made tt constitutional ? Mr, Howagv—I thiok ft docs, Mr, Hexprtoxs continued, alluding to the employ. ment of counsel at a large expense by the departments heretofore when the authorized counsel waa in cohrt. Ho believed this was simply an effort io make # parade before Congross and the country, when no case was yet brought against the generals. ‘The morning hour baving expired, Mr. Buckscew, (dem.) of Pa,, objected to further consideration, but, on motion of Mr. Connmss, (rep.) of Cal., the special order was postponed for twenty minutes, and Mr. Conness re- forred to o case in Mississippi inst year, brought by Mississipp! against the President, where the Attorney Geueral appeared and in an able argument convinced the court that it bad no jurisdiction, and procured a dis- misgal of the proceedings Mr. Bockarew said the jurladiction of the court wag the only question he appeared to discuss, and proceeded to condema the resolution conferring powor wituoat limit. After further discussion the resolution was adopted. DONATING LANDS FOR COLIAGE PURPOSES. Mr. Hxnpensoy introduced a bi! to amend the act donating lands in certain States for the benetlit of the Agricultural College and Mechanic Arts, Referrod to the Committee on Public Lanas, ‘Tok BIGHT Law. Mr. Hexnricxs presented petitions from workingmen of New York and elsewhere praying for the establish- ment of an eight hoar law. Referred to the committee having the subject in charge. RALIKY OF CONTRACTORS, Mr. Deak, (rep.) of Mo., ofered a potition, with a joint resolution, . the relief of certain contractors for the construction of vessels of war and steam machinery. Referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs, THR RECONSTRUCTION BILL, Tho Supplementary Reconstruction bill was thon taken up and Mr. MoRRiti, (rep.) of Me., took the floor. He said the preceding debate on the of the opposition bad shown the tage] CW aps bad hewhmetie§ arraigning Congress before the country on the charge usu it hed been speciticalily charged by the Senator from Wisconsin that the outlawry of the white race was designed by recent measures, Mr, Morrill maintained that the white race referred to were the bad men of the South, who for many years had domi- nated over the land and out the laws of God and the sentiments of the entire civilized world, ie eos of having imposed military been so fully answered by Senator Morton that it wag dificuit to fod ao uprefuted point. He read portions of the act dividing the South into military districts to show that Congress vad framed the same solely with the view of protecting the rights of persons and property; a police measure rendered necessary tho iawioss and chaotic condition of those States, that fall provec- tion to all with equal rights was now alfc Referring to the charge of usurpation by {nterfering with the rights of insurrectionary Sites, he claimed that it was ‘aged om the idea that we bed had no war, but simply an effort on the part of the government to put down an ingurreetion. Suck bad been the position long since assumed by the Senator for Maryland and now argued by members on the other side The argument ‘was ingenious, for, if we had acquired no rights of war, the viitones of our armies decided vothing. General Grant had beon only a head constable to restore ortor in cortain parts of the country, and no mghts of rebel States wore lost, All the arguments of opposition were based on Ce gre but the position was untens- vie, The effects of [= bet am open, one a jestroying rights pe or oe one by the fxocu ve powor and by our rt ‘and, Onaliy, tho judgment of the Suproi Court had all affirmed to the hi rights of war, Further, the results of the war, as overy ‘one knows, had been the total anninilation of the state governments of rebelling States.

Had the Senator ever explained that vote on a law without which the nation would be a byword and a Hpergy td ‘Mr, Doourrr.s, (rep.) of Wis,, said he had not denied the duty of the government under the constitution to secure the freedom and rights of the negro, and he had Introduced a bili on that subject which he considered constitutional. He had never doubted that certain eS of the Civil Rights bill were unconstitutional, and theretore voted pore it, Mr, Moni said the Civil Rights bill speaks for itself; and he proceeded to comment upon that Senator's ro- marks in regard to the Caucasian raco and negro su- | oes me ri Saline. the idea of half a million people dominating thirty-fve millions, in the Senator's claim that Congress was trying to put the negro into power, Mr. Fessxxpay—By the bayonet. Mr, Monnn1—Yes, by the bayonet, He continued to comment on Mr, Doolittle’s argument, and asserted that on a certain bill he had offered an amendment proposing the deportation of negroes of the District of Columbia, Mr. LITTLE denied that he had offered such an amendment. Another Senator had offered it, and he moved an amendment that none should be doported ex- cept euchas wore willing to go. r. Me LL anid there was a distinotion ; if the negro oould not stay with safety he ought to go, The Senator had said that during the war e large proportion of the negroes had perished, Ir, Dootrrin—That is true, Mr. Monnitt said it was not so; that the Freedmon’s Bureau bad said they had increased. He proceeded to reply to Mr, Hendricks’ argument in regard to the policy of Mr. Lincoln, saying that Mr, Lincoln, in his procia- mation of 1863, proposing the organization of the States then in possession of the armics of the United States, used the words ‘re-establish gov- ernments,” and that their governments must thero- fore have been overthrown, He aiso donied ‘that Mr. Lincoln bad elaimed by his action on the Winter Davis bill shat he alone bad authority over reconstrac- tion, Mr, Lincoln had objected to the bill because of its having come to bim just before the adjournment of Congress, He did not ‘like to act without time for con- sideration to destroy the governments be was trying to form io Louisiana and Arkansas. Mr. Hexpricks asked if Mr. Lincoln had not at that time said that bo was not prepared by the approval of that bill to commit Limself to any plap of restoration ? Mr. Morrie replied that Mr. Lincoln had said some- thing of that kind, intending to restore Arkansas and Louisiana in his own way, and bis faith having been pledged to them. Congress, however, could never have recognized thom, He them commented on the policy of tne President, claimed by Mr. Hendricks to be the recognition of the old, State organizations, and he read from the preamble of the President's prociamation that no civil goverumonts existed in thoso States, and from tbe report of the Reconstruction Committee a re- mark made by Presicent Jobuson to Mr. Hearn, that new governments must be formed in harmony with the ‘ogress of events. None of Mr. Johnson’s =tates wore Fn'torm or effect republican governments, in some of them a majority of citizous having been disfranchised, He denied, that Maryland bad a republican form of | government, having returned a large portion of her citizens to vasealage for the purpose of continuing rebel sympathizers tn power. No better evidence of her dis- loyalty could be found than her planting @ Senator who had stood patriotically by the government with a man who had doserted bis country in her time of need and adbered to the doctrine of State rights. land, in ao infernal and disloyal spirit, had stricken from her constitution the declaration of rights—the doclaration that every freeman has aright to suffrage, That anti-republican constitution should be set back in harmony with the Bill of Rights.

As a means of redressing wrong the proposition was a farce; a8 mode of punishment tt was barbarism. It waa at Variemce with all the principles recognized by modora Civilized governments, No one could believe that any Europeas government would tail to make suoh a seizure of aby of its subjects a cause for immediate war. lt Would not‘have even the excuse which the Emporor Theodore of Abyssinia bad for his seizure of Knglisb- men; for he charged them with being couspirators. Taking the bill altogether, {t did not advance ono step towards a practical remedy for the grievances of natu- ralized citizens. He did nos believe that any specilio act of logisiation by statute was the form in which to moet this question. He believed that Congress should pass a general declaration of what the law of the country ig as to the perfect eg of native born and natural- tzod citizens, eligibility to the Presidency being the onl; ‘ception, and of what the geverument posed to do in case of refusal to abide by such declaration, The deolaration which ho proposed would embrace the fol- lowing propositions :— Ficst—Thas the government of the United States was eatab- lished on, the pringipi, that every individual hasan inalisnal Fight to life, Uderty and pursuit of happiness, and that at means Necessary to soeu.e that right the express power to eatabiish ® uniform rule of naturalization was vested in Congress by the constitution, Second—hat sluce 1790 (Hat constitubional power has been exercised by Congress, Third—That by the copstitution aud laws of the United States no distinction is made between the rights of citize: ship belonging to nateve born citizens and to naturalized oltizens or in the proteotion due to them from the govera- ment, the solitary distinction being that the President muss be native born. Fourth—That the natufalization laws of the United States in force since 1902 require an oath of abjuration and alie gtance, and that hence the priuciples and doctrines of the ‘“cnguish comuson law and all other conflicting doctrines and principles on ject have boon abolished within jurisdiction of the United States. Fyth—That inst any exaction of military or other ser. vice or duty which the Uuited States government should tect its native born citizens, from it ft fe equally bound ce and redress to naturalized clugens. nasuralii he United States form a part of ite national and political system, in force for noarly three-quarters of ali foreign gov ernmente are chargeable ey, ani ith nolice thereof and acqules. cence therein, which cannot now be controverted with duo to the rights and dignity of the United States, paizenth—-Heoltes the abande! since 1812, by Great . of ite claim of the ‘0 impress seamen, natu- ralized citizens of the United Btn That the protection of naturalized citizens abroad cannot be trusted exclusively to the Executive Departmenta, but should be enforced vy imperative law, Ninth—That naturalised oftizens charged with orime in a foreign tand are entitled to the protection of Dnited States to theextont that {t shall see that the lawa of such country are fairly and impartially administered, Without Projudicg oF perversion. nth—That the United States government ts bound that no United States citizen is tried or pun’ wi foreign jurisdiction for acts done or worde tiered within the United States or in any other country except that to see thin a whereln the prosecution is Inatituted. Eleventh—Chat it is the duty of the government of the United States to demand the immediate discharge and re. ufferéd; ai to carry out these doctrines force these rights, and to. report to Congres! fusal or neglect on the part of any foreign govern: recognize the demands so made. In conclusion and in reply to some observations of Mr, Pruyn Mr, Judd said that.be was for Congress say- ing that such and such rights oxisted, that they were a0 further debatable, and that they should be observed by those nations with which the United States deals, CONTROVERSY BETWEEN MESSRS. LOGAN AND MARSHATL, Mr. Looax, (rep.) of Ill, rising to a privileged ques- tion, called. the attention of the Houso to the fact that his Colleague (Mr, Marshall) having made some remarks on the question of whiskey meters on the 9th of Janu- ‘ary last, the report thereof, to the extent of four columns and a quarter, appeared in the Glole on the 24th of January, which speech, he said, was never delivered in the House. He protested against any such proceedings, He recognized the tirst colunn as containing something ‘which his colleague had said alter being dressed up, but oun of it he did.not recognize at all, i ir, MARuaLt, (dom.) of Ill, exprossed his amaze. ment at the course taken by ‘his colleague. His col- league was a wan of genfus and of elassic education, and it was perhaps not necessary for him, as it was for most members, to revise and correct the notes written out by the reporters. He declared that the speech as published in the G/obe was the specch as deliyored by him in the House, with some additions and modifications, he adiit- ted ; bat there was nota sentiment in the apeoch as re- that bad not been uttered by him in the House; and if any gentleman assorted the contrary he asserted what was not true. He admitted additions and amplia- cations 1n carrying oat expressed ideas, and he under. stood that to be the universal custom of members, Mr. Scuwvcx, (rep.) of Obio, disclaimed for himself any such practice, and protested against such words as “revision of bic apie and “amplifications and modifica- tions."’ If such latitude were allowed the country could loarn very little from the (love of the proceedings of the House. Mr. MarsHaxt said that such altercations were exceed- ingly unpleasant to him. He was conscious that be had done nothing which was not sanctioned by the constant practice of the House, Ho did not admit the right of his colleague, from apy position he occupied in the House or before the country, to become his censor. He (tr, Marshali) occupied a position which was not to be affected as a gontleruan or as aman by any remarks shat his colleague might make here or elaewhore, After some farther altercation, involving direct con- tradiction of statements, the matter subsided, MESSAGHS WROM THE PRESTORNT, ‘Yho SreAKgR progented messagos from the President in roference to the famine in Sweden and Norway and in roference to the trial of John H.

He is the only one of thé aspirants for the leadership who has yet shown himself capable of moet- img the republican leader at every stem The fight at midnight of yesterday thus seemed narrowed down to @ struggle between Brennan and Farron, This morning, howaver, mutters assumed a different aspect.
