WASHINGTON to Succeed Judge Grier. ftanton “a The Sickles Correspendence Withheld by Seeretary Fish. The Supreme Court Bill in the Senate. Reprdintion Penouneed in the House by a Vote of 125 to 1 AND HAT ONE---TONES. WaAsntncron, Dec, 16, 1863, An Unexpected Rebduti to the EHouse>The sidentv’s Premter Refuses to Make Pablic the SickleseHipano Correspondence. Tne Speaker today preseuted to the Tfouse a message trom the President, transmitting the reply of the Secretary of State to the resolution of the House calling for a copy of the correspondence be- tween Minister Sickles and the State Department relative to Cuba. This is a document which has been looked for with a good deal of Interest. It was expected to shed a flood of light upon a subject about wich Congressmen do not seem to be well informed. There was naturally a general expectancy that we would get to the bottom of the whole story of Sickles’ offer of mediation, and that the country would be informed of the exact status of the Cuban question, ‘The House Committee on Foreign Affairs had decided to posipone consideration of the Cuban petitions and the various resolutions on the subject which have been introduced and referred to them unti! after te holidays, By that time it was thought the clerks atthe State Department, who were eupposed to be hard at work copying the cor- respondence, would have accomplisbed their task and the committee could then proceed intelligently. Wien the message of the President was presented the House was inastate of confusion and uproar. Members were standing in the aisles, doating on the eofas and hanging around the desk aud chairs itke a set of schoolboys anxious to go home, The mere lide of the message was “gaflicient to arrest attention. Members squat- ted in the seats nearest where they happened to be standing—tuose back on the sofas came forward to their places—the hum of conyersa- tion ceased and everybody opened his mouth and eyes and prepared bimself to “gather and surmise.” The Clerk first read the message of the President, but this gave no satisfacition—ic simply referred the House to the document subscribed “Hamilton Fish.”? Now, itis not usual to read the reply of a head of a de- partment enclosed by the President. It is generally ordered to be printed and referred to the appropri- ate committee, but several boisterous members cried simultaneously, “Let us hear what Fish has to gay!” “Read the letter from Fish !? The Speaker ordered the Clerk to read the jetter from the Sec- retary of State. The general ‘eagerness was now Intensified. Everybody expected to near something mmportant. Mr. Fish started out in the usual form, reciting the resolution of the House calling for the information, and then wound up by saying it was in his judgment incompatible with the public interest to make the corresppndence public at this time. oie letting down was too sudden, Mr. Fish maae no explanation; he giive no reasons, and the disgust of the House culminated in a general “Ugh ” “What public interest does he mean?” said one member to another; “that of Spain or that of the United States?” Nobody seemed to understand how At could be ‘incompatible with the public interest’ of the United States to make public a correspond ence which has already become a matter of history. Besides, the Congress which 1s calied upon by the people in the usual way, through petitions, to act in this matter, have vo*official information on thls Bubject except what was in the annual message of the President, Wich, it must be coulessed, was very meagre, Resignation ef Judge Grier—Ex-Secretary F “Seanton to be Appointed to the Vacancy. The resignation of Associate Justice Grier reached the President late last night. Itis to take effect on the Ist of February. The President to-day stated to Bgentieman who called at the White House that he Intended to nominate Edwin M.

Protection to American Shipping Inters est—A Favorable Report tom Secretary Boutwell. The New York delegation on s' y interests had inte ws to-day with Sec vell,of the Treasury, and Secretary Robeson, of vy. Both interviews were very satisfactory, Mesers, Boutwell and Robeson expressing themselves very favorable to the cbjects of the delegation and pro- mising their support. Mr. Boutwell told the delega- Uon be was preparing a special report on the necessity of ieclion to American shipping inter- ests, and stated that it would be presented to Con- gress probably before the holidays, Mr. John Roach, of the Morgan Iron Works of your city, arrived bere \o-day and Jaid before the Committee of Ways and Means a long written statement of what ought to be done to prevent the further decline in American commerce, Mr. Roach’s statement was very similar to that presented yesterday by Mr. Westervellt, The entire delegation leave e to-night, satisfied that they have accomplished something for the relief of their declining business, TI Frauking PrivilegeThe Abuse to be rrected=Encouragement of American Commerce. The Senate Committee on Post OMices and Post Roads met tins morning and considered the question Of abolishing the franking privilege. It was deter- mined not to take any definite action at present, but to allow the ilouse of Representatives vo develop 103 Plan of correcting this evil. There is a disposition on the part of the cominittce to subsutute postage stamps instead of the frank. One of the committee observed that according to the present system the government did not know how much the privilege did cost, One said $1,000,000 and another $5,000,000, And to say thé least this was a very irresponsible way of doing business. Nothing, however, will be done until aiter the holidays, The commitice aiso NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1869. considered the question of encouraging American commerce by granting subsidies. The proposition, however, for the present does not receive mucB couragement, re Storm Signale—The Propagating Garden of the Agricultural Burean. ‘The House Committee on Agriculture held a ses- sion on Wednesday and considered the proposition of Mr. A.

Subsequently the com- i some hours m an inspection of the pro- ating garden on Fourta street, which is under the direction of the Bureau of Agriculture and is devoted ehtedy to the propagation of econo- mic plants and freits, and of the build- ing ond ground of the department. Great satisfaction Was expressed with the condition in which everything pertaining to the establishment was lound, 80 far as the jimited means at the dis- vosal of the Commissioner had enabled him to carry out bis pians, and with the thoroughly scientific system and eMicicency with which the interior vors of tne Department are conducted, yielding, as le they have already done and are mereasingly doing, results of immense practical value not only to 4 cuiturists in every part of the country but also to every other class of citizens, Kaighte Tewplar Reveption.

He was satisfied that the accounts of Colonel Forney bad been satisfactorily closed, the deficiency having beon made Up in some way, either by that gentleman himseif or by his friends, apd that tye government nad not lost a cent. By request of Mr. Cameron a statement by the "irst Comptrotier of the Treasury was read, show- ing tbat the accounts of Colonel Forney had been fully adjusted. ‘Yhe joint resolution was then passed. PERFECTING THE RECONSTRUCTION OF GHORGTA. On motion of Mr. Morron, (rep.) of Ind., the Senate took up te to perfect the reconstruction of Georgia, providing for the assembling of ine Legisiature, the exclusion therefrom of versons in. eligible under the fourteenti amendment, and per- mitung no disxiinction of race or color, said Legts- lature to be regarded as provisional until the lurther action of Congress, Air.

Le did not want any futare Jem Davis to bring in a bill of exceptions gud move for & new trial. Mr. DRAKE, (rep.) of Mo., Said that the rebels of the South should be matic to feel the power of Congress; thac the infamy of that Georgia Legislature suoult be wiped out by ap act ol retribution, and that the loyal men of tuat State should be heard and should be represente it must be understood that there is a Congresg of the nation that wielded the sovereiguty of the pation, aud Whose power could not be suangled by the Supreme Court or any State TON said that the original bill required the qidoption of the fourteenth amendment. That could not be absolutely cgupeiled by Congress, byt should be iunpoged among tne tefins wu bwnfited to that State. (Gis cise of the States of Virginia, Texas and Migs sfippt the cofditi6a was required of the Tatification. of the fourteenta ameudmeus, and th should be no exception of Georgia, for per pre sialus Was not ihe fault of Congress, but restlved fromm her owa treachery.

LovMnuny (rep.) of Ti, said that he fany recognized the necessity for aivision of tue powers of government, believing that the con- centration of all powerm the hands of one tended toward despousm, and that the liberties of the people ¢ be permanently main- tained by the full t regard tor the rights of powers of tue general government Whie yielding all due respect wud Maat t ts and of tue to the judiciary, nis object was simply to define oy tates, thls bill the powers of that department; and this definition would not exceed, by one step, the hint Which tie Supreme Court had already laid dow ‘Tho bill hud not veen framed with any View of inve fering with any quesioa now pending, but to take froin the court @ jurisdiction which tt now claimed to possess. In support of the Bae tion that the courts had no jurisdiction over potitical questions the lan- ga fe of the preme Court in various decisions furnished evidence. in the course of a lengthy legal argument he contended that npon questions involy- Ing a confitct between a scatute and the constitution it Was the duty of fhe court to define the meaning of tue sovereign authority, which was the constitu- ‘Lhe court had never claimed authority to c olitical questions, as was shown by the lan- guage Of the court iecli in various decisions, It had repeatedly conceded to Congress the authority vested therein By the constitution to decide what government was thé ¢stablistod one ina State. Tne idea appeared to havé gaihed credence that the op- Ject of the bill was to overthrow the rightial powers of the judiciary, and this he emphatically denied. Jno conclusion Mr. irumbull submitted an amen ment restricting the powers of justices of the Yu- veme Court in issuing Writs of habeas corpus to he cases of persons within thelr respective districts, RECONSTRUCTION OF GEORGIA AGAIN, Mr. THAYER, (rep.) of Neb moved to take up the Georgia bill, previously undet conaideration, Agreed to, ‘Mr. CARPENTER sald le would never vote to admit the State unui sie had adopted the proposed amend- ments; but he could not see the benefit to accrue from an apnouncement in to that effect at this tine, The question with Was simply one ot expedicacy. Mr. THURMAN, (dem.) of Ohio, said the question was whether the constituuonal amendments were to be forced upon the people of Georgia and other Southern States against the will of their People, for it coud not be denied that & majority of the people there were opposed to them, The State of Ohio had rejected the iitecuth amendment, and in the name of the people of a@ nation he pro- tested against (his attempt to coerce a State into doing thas which was repugnant to a majority of her péopie, Obio, by fifty thousand majority, had declared against the fifteenth amendment, and its rarification by the coercion of the Southern State legislatures into its supportwould virtuallyforce upon Ohio, as well as upon Georgla, a law to which the people of both States were opposed, If the anient- ment sould become part of the constitution it would be equaily a law for the State of Onio as for any otner State, and, therefore, in tie name of the people of the counuy, he protested against the vill, le could only express bis regret, in view of the ap- parent determivuation of Congress to cut loose trom all consntutious! precedents and 6o ignore tue plaid restricuons of Congressional authority under Wie constitution. Mr. SAWYER, (rep.) of S. C., sald that if the people of Georgia bad learned anything of the temper of Wwe : pople they would not refuse to accept Lic tifteentt rument, for by its adoption they could produce some prool that their condition was s: as to warraitt a restoration t their former relations to the Uniou goverament, In the case of Wlito it Was not jn (he power of Congress, nor did it becu.ae its duty, fo impose conditions mM connection with the action of the State upon the proposed amend- ment. Bat Georgia occupied a vastly ditferent pos! uon. In tue Ik Of events In Uhat State in the past eight years it became an imperative duty for Co gress to Inquire into the Condition of tts peopi by imposing conditions, to ascertain whether State could adinitted with saiety into the sister hood of States. Mr. Bayanp, (dem) of Del., said that the impost- tion of this bew condition in the case of Geormia was an additional feature of its unfairness ana in- justice, It Miastrated the fact that no definite jiutt could be assigned withm which this prohibitionary pertod applied to the late rebeitious States would t minate, and that lt must depend entirely upon the caprice and pleasure of the dominant party iu Co: gress. By this bili Congress had assumed to sit in Judgment upon the quailications of the legisiatures of States and to determine the rights of voters in the States, Mr. Howarp, (rep.) of Mich., said the amendment of che Senator irom Indiana was Not coercive, but left to te people of Georgia the alternative of re- maining in their present condition or adopting the proposed amendment to the constitution, If ang excuse were wanting for the imposition of this con- dition 1b was to be found In the action of the white men of the Georgia Legislature, Who, in defiance of Congress, had ostracised and expelled from the Leg- islattire of that state a large nuinber of persous oa account of their color.

Adopted. REPUDIATION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT. Tho Wouse then, at two o’e mittee of the Wrole on the Pr sage, Mr. ALLISON in the chair, and was addressed by Mr. MUNGEN, (dem.) of Ohio, in criticism of the financial policy of the government. Mr. Mungen’s argument, which was delivered from manuscript, advocated a repudiation of the national debt. (dem.) of N. Y., said;—rhe gentleman |, and well said, he spoke only for bim- If what he said had not been sald on the floor self, of the House, in presence of all of ua, I should not feel it necessary to disclaim.ail,responsibility for his advocacy gf repudiation, and I think I ney spew x for tie democratic members from New York State as well as for myself, The national debt never has been, aever can be, never will be repudiated, While much of what the geptieman said 1s trite, all that refates to repudiation We utterly disclaim. We expect to pay every cent of the debt according to contract, and under a better and reduced sysiem of taxation we think It will be as easily paid as the debt of the War of 1812, Mw», Ceun, (dem.) of Ind., satd:—While I renember very well thay wy {rien2 irom Onto (MF. did ns On this side the justice to remark that in whatever he was about to’ say he would attempt to bind nobody but himself, yet | deem tt an act of duty to myself aud to those whom I represent (and I be- He I say it with becoming modesty)}—to the whole democratic party of uns country say that Ido not endorse repudiation in any form, and that ldo not believe that that great and honorabie which [nave wie honor to be an humble imeuver endorses a ich tleory. pcuM, (dem.) OF N. Y., said:—I am glad the eman from Oho makes NO pretense of repre. senuing any political party m the remarks he has made, The Congressional district have the honor to represent on th floor pays into the Treasury Inore taxes than two or three of the Western Siates combined, and I Jeman that ne represents the sen a aud I may su of no peopie of that district. Kor one, I here dec that no party Ue, no hope of political advancemen willever mdnce me to favor any measure tenting towards repudiation, either directly or indirectly, ending to prevent this government ing every obilyation incurred in the Suppression of the rebellion im strict accordance With the letter and spirit of the law creating the obligation. In benalf of the democracy 1 represent A hereby repudiate all repudiators. Mr. KANDALE, (dem.) of said—Mr, Chatrman— Tn the time allowed to ine It is hardly possibly that L snould follow the genueman from’ Ohio (Mr Mun- gen) in all his doings, or whatl might mildly term his political heresies; but, tor myself, 1 think I can speak for ly constituents. Iam iitterly opposed to repudiation, ‘The moment allo opportunity to remonstrate against the enunciation ol any scheme of legisiauion which | believe Would piace my couatry ina dishonest attitude before the world, Not only do I believe that we should pay the debt, but I believe, What 13 of vastly more import- ance, that the couutry has the ability, the disposition and the resources to pay it. I agree with the gentle. man from Ohio (Mr. Mungen) that this debt was ne- gotiated at ruinous rates. That is @ matter of just criticisin against the party who then contro‘led the government and made the negotiation; put as to those who hold bonds upon which is stamped the faith and credit of the country I say repudiation stands in no other light except the light of disa- hogesty. In saying tuis I but repeat wh have sald nefore my coustituents, I believe that in the interests of my country there should be no question al 7 paying the entire principal of the pubite debt, nD man; aban HtesuORt of pubic talth abe aatonel onal honor, 1 do not propose to let any man decide for Mgen) | me, or any ization to control my vote. Tam not unmindful of some of the evils to whicn the geu- Ueman from Ohio bas adverted, but without how r to them I desire ply to say that my. self my constituents disclaim the doctrine of repudiation advocated Rr paloma: from Onio. Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. Y., —While nO one 18 more ready than I to honor the soldier and the gen- teman from Ohio who has just spoken, i will not do him the injustice to believe that he undertakes to speak either for the democracy of bis State or of the nation. Hts opimtons are his own. He alone 18 responsible for them. They are not tolcrable or excusabie because of the wrongs suifered by the mas because Congress fails to tax, as they shou'd, the bondholders; because Congress fails to nay the claims of loyal vlarmants, or because of the outrage- ous and persfStent taxation of the people. Tho worst form of repudiation has not been reterred to. ‘rhe legal tenders are @ debt. So long as they are unredeemed so long is there repudiation. Who is responsibie Jor this? 1 charge the republican mem- bers bow around me with ertne cKing che skiil or the courage to redeeur the le; Mr. Daw (rep.) of Muss,—What 1s my interpre- tation of Mr. Pendieton’s theory? Is it not repadia- uon? Mr, Cox—I might agree with Mr, Pendleton’s inter- pretation; yet it would not be repudiation, Did not the distinguished moralist from Massaciusetts (Mr. Butler) agree with Mr. Pendleton? and ‘ihaddens Stevens and Seaater Morton? And are they repu- diators? I understand the astuteness of the gent man from Massachusetts (Mr. Dawes). He desir: to give a partisan tone to the debate; but ne caunot do it, Without regard to pariy the House should endeavor to raise, not to degrade our credit aud honor, 1 denounce repudiation in every form—whether it repudiates legal tender notes or bonds, loyal chiims or coustita- tional guarantees, i will never cousent to favor tie dishonor of my country, which is bound up with its prosperity. Ail of our constitu. ents pay taxes alike vo sustain the puolic credit, There are questions which will press hereafter— Whether taxation is inordinate, whemer we ought not to reduce it; whether, with a full Treasury, it Is not an outrage to Keep up these burdens, But we all agree that our creait should remain uataraished, We may diifer on the ways and means to preserve our credit and as to other fiscal questions, but on Unis let us be in concord. Mr. WOODWARD, (dem.) of Pa., said tuat it seemed to him to be a day of general coniession. (Laughter.) He had happened to be @ member of fhe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania when tae republican county of Alleghany and the repudlican city of Pittsourg repudiated the most honest ant rguteous debt, and it had failen to his lov to write the first opinion that Was over writven in Penusylvania against those re- pudiators, Other opinions tn other cases had fol+ sowed, and those County Commussioners and mu- nicipal authorities had been imprisoned. ‘ae Coim- uilssioners were one whole year ia jali before they would surrender to the authority of the court. Mr. GARFIELD, (vep.) of Obto, by unanimous con- sent, moved that the Committee report to the House the following resolution:. Resolved, That the proposition, direct or indizect, to repudi- ate any portion of the dept of thé United States Js unworthy the howor and good name of the nation, and that the Hous, without distinction of party, hereby bets ts weal of cout demmation on any and all such propositions. ‘The Committee then rose, and the Speaker having resumed the chair, Ar, ALLISON, (rep.) of lowa, chairman of the Com- mittee of the Whole, reported Mr. Gariicld’s resolu- uen to the House, Mr. GAkIiELD moved the previous question upon its adoption and called for the yeas and nays. ‘The previous question was seconded, and the yeas and nays were ordered on the resolution, Mr. Jonna, (dem.) of Ky., moved that the resolu- ton be laid on the table. ‘The vote was taken on that motion by a division of the House, and tere wus but one member vouing in the airmanve, Mr. Jones himself, Mr. BuooKs, of N. Y., suggesied that as a great many members were abseut on account of the un- derstanding that no business would be transacted the vote should not be taken till the next meeting of the House, when tne vote would sow a full ex- pression of opinion. Mr. SCOFIELD, (rep) of Pa., with that objective view, moved that the House do now adjourn, The House refused to adjourn, and the vote on the resolution was taken by yeas and nays. Betore the announcement of the result Mr. ELDRIDGH, (dem.) of Wis, said that he had voted under a misapprenenston aud aestred to with- draw bis vote, as he underatood the resoiution to ve virtually one of censure against the gentleman from Onio, Mr. Mungen. Mr. Gar Not a whit of it. Mr. ELDRIDGE—1 understood It as charging that gentleman ag being unworthy. Mr. GARVIBLD—Not at all. My, ELpripge—Or that his speech was an un- weeny one. GARFIELD—Not 4 word in it about the speech. Mr. Ecprivgr—He liad aright to make the speech, though I did not agree with hin in it, Mr Jones, of Ky., asked and obtained per- mission to make a statement. He sald, lest ny vote should be misunderstood, [ desire to say that I am not now in favor of repudiation, and probably never saall be. Several members (repeating)— “Probably?” Mr, Jongs—Yes, sir. Probably I never shall be. I should be in acertain contingency in part. If the alternative were ever presented to me whether to vote that that part of the bonded debt not specified to be paid in gold, should be paid in gold, or that there shoyid be repudiation to that extent, then I ald go lor répudiation; but I am not now in favor of repudiation, I only couceived that this reso- Iption was not a proper one to be adopted at 1 time. It might be ujsuuderstood. 1 therefore vot “no,’’ and I mai nt D that vote. ‘Tne Fotée wag tién announced—yeas 123, nays 1, the negative vote being that of Mr. Jones. So tl resolution Was adopted with but one negative vot Mr. ELDRIDGE asked the indulgence of the House to state why it was that he had expressed @ wish to withdraw tits Vote. He said that he did not wish by any vote of his to pronounce censure on the gentic- man from Ohio (Mr. Mungen.) He believed that that gentleman had the right to make tne speech he did make. If Ne himsélf was convinced of the sound. ness of his position, what was the reason why he doubted the propriety of voting for the res laHon. He wag not a repudiaior and never expected tq be Me patd his own debts and was in fuvor of the gov- ernment paying - debts, ~_* ALABAMA RATIFIZS THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
