THE PROPOSED “STRONG MEASURES” AGAINST THE SOUTHERN STATES—BUMORS OF BEPUB- LIGAN DISSENSIONS—A DESPEBATE STRUGGLE AT HAND. Both sides in both houses are becoming excited, The session is drawing near its close, and bat a few days remain in which one side hopes to pass 8 series of ‘strong measures,” so called, against the Southern States, while the other side means, if possible, to prevent their adoption. “Why not let the majority have their way? They will only rush to ruin;” was said to a democratic Congressman to-day, and he repiied, “We cab't afford it, Such measures as the Civil Bights bill give the President too great power to harass our People, and by means of designing and unscrupulous agents to cause disturbances. The Civil Rights bul alone would be a very potent Means of intimidation. It would give the Presi- dent power to carry most of the Southern States by the mere authority to make arrests, which it gives him. Add to it, as they propose, | an act allowing him, at bis discretion, Martial law in Southern districts, is nothing to prevent him from plunging our States into disorder whenever he chooses, His agents may frst harass and annoy the people and make arrests indiscriminately just on the eve of an election—as it is shown Packard did in the last Louisiana election—and, if any- where the people can be goaded into resistance, he may declare martial law. We must resist the passage of such laws here in Congress. It is our duty to our people.” It has taken longer and been more dificult for the administration men to marsbal their followers than they anticipated, andit is by no means certain that there will not be a break in the ranks at 4 critical moment. It ts certain that the brains of the House on the republican side are at heart opposed to “strong measures for the South.” The ablest repub- lican members are those who most reluctantly see their party lead into what they believe to be grave blunders and wrongs in the proposed legis- lation for the South. Taese men, for she most part, strongly disitke to break with their party, but they are getting irritable uoder the lash of Butler, and there @ leader, to complete their organization to defeat all the administration schemes, HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT’S VIGOROUS EFFORTS TO INFLUENCE CONGRESSIONAL 4AO- TION REGARDING AREANSAS—A NEW RBEVOLU- TIONARY QUESTION FOR THE SENATE—WILL AN ARMED POLICY ENSUE? Woile Senator Morrill was speaking sgainst the Canadian reciprocity scheme in the Senate His Excellency the President was holding a council in the Capitol, which lasted an hour and a half, and incladed among its members Senators Mor- ton, Clayton, Dorsey, West and @ameron. The subject ef discussion Was Arkansas. The House Arkansas Committee will probably make their re- port to-morrow, that there is no cause for inter- ference in Arkansas affairs, Mr. Ward alone making a minority report. The long deiberations of the committee began of late to excite alarm smong the administration men, and the President appears to have taken the question vigorously into his own hands. He could do nothing with the House committee, and has therefore turned to the Senate for help. Yesterday s memorial of Brooks was introduced in the Senate, and to-day Senator Clayton moved a resolution requesting the Presi- dent to transmit to the Senate ali the information he has reiative to Arkansas affairs, not pefore reported, together with recommendations, but he was compelled to leave out the request for recommendations, So there will !be s Message on Arkansas affairs, or | at least an Executive report. In his annual Mes- sage His Excellency said, ‘As Congress is now in- vestigating the affairsof Arkansas | have declined to interfere;” but, though he bas not interfered With troops and arms, there being no excuse for 80 doing, it Is no secres here that he has strongly desired such Congressional action as would cause the overthrow of Garland. It is privately asserted by credible persons tnat he caused the House committee to know his desire in the matter. An infuential Arkansaian, who has been here for some weeks watching the course of affairs, said to-day that His Excellency felt very strongly o1 the question, and tnat in conversation with him few days ago he said that “something must be done in the Arkansas matter or else, even if the Senate did recognise the Kellogg government, it Would not settle matters ia Louisiana fimlly, be- cause, if what Bas bees done in Arkansas in the overturning of a State government ts allowed to remain uncorrected and unrebuked the very same thang may be done in Louisiana, and is likely to be attempted under the influence of this kind of encouragement before the next session of Congress, His Exceliency went on to say that the law and the record of fects in the Arkansas mat- ter showed a clear case of the overthrow of a re- publican form of govérnment and the combination Of lawless men to set at defiance the fixed barriers Of both State and national authority. He closed the interview, said this informant, by an agree- ment to go to the Senate to see certain Senators on the matter to-day, and suggested the Offeritg of resolution calling on him tor information and for such evidence ashe has, which demonstrates the necessity of Congressional action to reinstate Brooks. It is reported by Arkaness men here that His Ex- cellency ases strong terms in speaking of Jadge Poland and bis committee, and the Brooks partl- rt thal will send in @ special message Congress should not fail to put down what he is said to call the “wrongs and insarrec- tionary proceedings in Arkansas.” it ts probable, therefore, that there will be an Arkansas question a8 well as a Louisiana question in Congress, and it begins to be seen that, as in the Louisiana matter, the President did Dot wait for the instractions of Congress, nor even for the report of the House Committee, belore acting in a very decisive manner, so in the Arkan- sas matter he does not mean to accept the in- Gependent action of Congress or the report of the Congressional Committee, but throws his influence vigorously upon one side, and that, as it happens, the side of revolution and the side against which the committee are about to report, THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEBATE IN THE HOUSE—A VOTE TO BE HAD TO-MORROW. In the House the Civil Righte oil! was taken up aud made the day very lively. General Butler got into a rage and spoke of Southern whites as mur- @erers, A Southern member retorted that it would be ‘more proper to call Builer a murderer for hanging & man at New Orleans than to call the people of the South murder- ere.” The debate occupied the whole day and atfive o’clock the House took a recess and gave the evening session to speeches. The vote will be taken to-morrow at three J @elook, The Dil Mm the old Senate Dill, | tor part of the re enough of them, if thay bad | ; Foster, of Ohio, objects to any measure which will with (he preamvie of me House Juainary | Committee, This was ® necessary arrangement | Under the rules, and, accordingly, if the Dill passes the House it will have to go back to the Senste to be approved there. It was said at the | lust session that His Excellency the President | Would not sign the Senate bill, bat n0 doubt seems | to be entertained now on that subject. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasninoroy, Fed. 8 1875. SECRETARY BRISTOW Ci CONFERENCE WITH THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE—DIVERSE VIEWS OM THE REVENUE AND NATIONAL DEBT-- LOCAL INTERESTS ANTAGONISTIC. The Secretary of the Treasury and Assistant Secretary Conant met all the members of the Ways and Means Committee to-night at the rooms | Of the Secretary to talk over the subject of in- | creased customs and interna! revenue in order to fulfll the pledge of the government in providing | annually for vhe sinking fund under the act of 1902, The Secretary said he did not intend to recommend anything to the committee, but ‘what he bad to say would be merely in the form of suggestions, It had been claimed by sume legisistors that the aggregate reductron of the pablic debt, if averaged through the ten years since the end of the war, would show that th spirit of the act had been Itterally complied with, but be did not himself take that view. His con- struction was that the act of 1862 re- quired at least one per cent to be eet apart for a sinking fund and that it must be done every year. On this basis, therefore, the demand of the Treasury would be for thirty odd millions asked for ip a previous communication. The members of the committee then asked if he had made up a statement showing the exact reduction of the in- terest bearing debt since the passage of the act, Secretary Bristow replied that it was only spoken of in round numbers, some thing over three hundred milion dollars, bat that he would furnish the committee with a de- tailed and accurate statement by eleven o'clock to-morrow, at which time {t was agreea to meet | at their room in the Capitol, it was the general view of the members that the object contemplated by the act of 1862 had been fulfilled, but if it nad mot been, then the deficit was equal to | the surplus of etgnteen months, or about | $45,000,000, It was freely said also, that the ne- Cessities of the Treasury do not appear so great | as to coerce an agreement among the represent- atives of diverse interests, The Secretary did not hesitate to say that he nad changed his mind to since he sent in hts report as to the expediency of | pA taxing whiskey, for it was @ question whether it would yield additional revenue with the expense of the machinery necessary tocollectit, The impression prevaiied that if any bill were pro- posed it should constst of very few items; and while tho members had but little objection to the restoration of the ten per cent tax it was arged that it would meet with serious opposttion among ® pumber of members of Congress, without regara toparty. Mr. Dawes, for instanoe, felt that it would NOt be politic to impose an additional duty on arti- cles entering into the manufactures of New Eng- land, and Beck and Burchard alike were opposed to any increase of the tax on tobacco or whiskey, or to disturbing the tarifm on hemp and fax. Mr, Impose further internal tax on the production of native wines, as it would Interfere with the West- ern grape growers and the manufacture of spar Kling and still wines. Mr, Sheldon, of Louisiana, is uncompromisingly opposed to any tax bill which does not put a high duty on sugar. Niblack, Kasson and Waldron were indi(- ferent as to any special articles, but think it will be @ serious matter to attempt to restore articles now on the iree list toa dutiable list, notably tea and coffee. Mr. Kelley is always in favor of in- creased taxation and every measure that will ben- efit the people of Pennsylvania, Messrs. Wood and Roberts, both of New York, though at variance on the political policy of the administration, incline tothe opinion that economy and retrenchment would give to the country an impetus that would revive confidence ana increase the revenues with- out requiring much tariff tinkering. In a word, there is not to-night tne probability of the Ways and Means Committee agreeing upon a tax bill, and unless His Excellency, the President, vetoes the “Little Tari@ bill’ (o-morrow it will become a law without bis signature. NEW ASSIGNMENTS OF SUPERVISORS OF INTER- NAL BEVENUB—OBJECT OF THE CHANGES, The Secretary of the Treasury bas issued an order making the following transfers of supervi- sors of internal revenue :— Supervisor Sutton, of Philadelphia, to go to St. Louis; McDonald, of St. Lonis, to Philadelphia; Hedrick, of Iowa, to Chicago; Munn, of Illinois, to New York; Pow- ell, of Ohio and Indiana, to San Francisco: [ Missi Foulke, of San Franctsco, to Richmond, Va.; Perry, of North Carolina, to Iowa; Hawley, of New York, to Boston; Sewell, of Boston, to Cin- cinnatl, Hunt, of New Orleans, has just been ap- pointed to his place and will be permitted to re- main, according to his first assignment. The supervisors are directed to be at their new beadquarters by the 16th inst, To each supervisor will be assigned two special agents, other than those who have heretofore served with tim. : The names of these latter, with their new assignment not obtainable. ‘This order is made at the request of Commissioner of Internal Revenue Douglass, who urged its pro- priety on Richardson, but without effect. Secre- tary Bristow not only had the good sense to perceive the benefits that will doubt- less result from the change, but had also the ‘backbone’? requisite to issae the order. The chan are announced as but temporary, and are made solely to secure greater efMficiency in the service. In his new field each supervisor will find himself free ffom any entangling alliances of ® political or purely friendly sort, and if the measure is pro- ductive of good results, it will possibiy be some time before the officersare changed back again. It was mentioned in these despatches last fall that there wasa disposition to get rid of supervisors altogether, as some of them had come to be little more than active wirepuliers for Senators who had secured their appointments, ‘This change of stations will obviate, at least tor the time, any necessity for recommending that the office be abolished. PINCHBACK’S BETTER PROSPECTS. Pinchoack begins to believe that he will secure bis seat afterall. There is a report that His Ex- cellency, who was known to be opposed to his ade mission, has thoaght detter of it in bis desire to have the Kellogg government recognized, It is also said that those republican Senators who can- not make up their minds to vote tor his admission will be peranaded to absent themselves, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. — Wasuinaton, Feb. 8, 1875, THE BECEPROCITY TREATY WITH THE DOMINION REJECTED BY THE SENATE. The Senate, in execative session this alternoon, had before them the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada. There were some expressions of views, bat the treaty having but few, if any friends, it was rejected without a di- vision, PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS daLpenicesegeiopeniiantiting SENATE.

He was not able to | find im {t any meriss, but ite demerits were very great. He spoke of the old treaty and sald it be- gan with the balance of trade, $8,000,000, in /avor of the United states, and ended witb a balance to be paid in specie o! $80,060,000 in one against us. He argued that the proposed treaty would not promote annexation, and hoped that Senators would not be deceived by the present commercial caresses of our Cana- dian iriends, who seek to extinguish the memory of their conduct during our civii war, not by the benefits they are to cenfer, but by the favors they are to receive. It was absurd to say that annexa- tion wonld be the natural consequence of reci- procity. The proposed treaty would bind this country twenty-four years, happen what may, hampering us !n times of peace and cutting our ainews of war in advance. He would not consent to see the country embarrassed by it twenty-four hours, much less twenty-foar years. He spoke of great troubles being Imminent in Europe, and said if they came the United States did not want to have any sucn entangling alliance as this reci- procity treaty. He contended tuat THE TREATY WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and quoted irom @ number of documents in sup- port thereof. The result 0; it upon the fisheries Would be detrimental. We had already surren- dered more than we had gained. and by openin, our markets we had so injured the occupation 0! our fishermen that their numbers are being yeariy diminished, tion, should build ways of transportation, not dor- row or pay tolls to foreigners, subject to be turned | ous | adrift at apy moment. It woulda be injurt our manufacturing interests, as it would expose our northern manufactu & northern Ddiast of ree — tra and it would also be ruinous to onr agriculturists. Ite effect upon immigration would also fT ee Our farmers feel a profound inte: RO! but they expect that ¢! d by more regard than is sof any other country. Our manufacturers do not wish to meet Grea! Britain when they are nominally invited to mee! the Canadas. Our nattonai patrimony should not be snared with the Canadas so long as they cling to greater expectaiiors from foreign re- lations. The dictates of prudence require as to stand by the ancient usage of the senate, denying all authority to make reciprocity treaties, whether favorable or untavorable, and espectall to decline all diplomatic arrangement by whi our own peopie are to be despoiled for the benefit of Britisn subjects at the expense of the constitu- tion.

Vartous propositions requiring unanimous con- sent were made by many members, but Mr. Bure LER, (rep.) of Mass., insisted on the regular order, which was, whether the House would now con- sider his motion to reconsider the vote of last session py which the Civil Rights bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee, “The vote resulted— yeas 147, nays 91.

MR. BUTLER GIVES THE OUR. Mr. BUTLER thereupon withdrew his motion to reconsider the vote referring the Civil Rights bill to the Judiciary Committee and the question was then on ordering the bill to be engrossed and read a third time, He asked the Speaker whether the previous question on it could be seconded to-day under the new rule adopted yesterday, ‘The SPEAKER said that it could be by a majority of two-thirds, Mr. BUTLER said he rather despaired of getting & two-thirds majority, and he went on to state how ue pxopaeee to manage the Dill. He would first yield to a motion to substitute the Senate bill for the House bill. Tnen be would yield to Mr. Whito, of Alabama, to offer another substitute.

Mr. BOTLER—I have applied it to nobody, I say the day has gone by when toat kind of Isnguage can affect anybody. Mr. RaNDALL, (dem.) of Pa.—The whole thing oes not amount to shucks. Let it go. Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. Y.. to Mr. Butler—Don' Mr. why Make any ues about that, You are beaten at home, and we are ht here. Mr. BUTLER—We right here, too, Mr. McLEaN—The gentieman (Mr. Bucier) spoke of the Southern people as banditti, horse thieves and assassins, If] mi3sundersiood bim I with. draw my remark; bat ii I did not misunderstand him, then [reiterate my remark and uo not re- tract anything. Let bim understand that, Mr. BUTLER—Can it be possible that any man on this floor could nave understood me as saying that all the people of the South were murderers or horse thieves? I said that the minority there was attempting to rule by such means. BUTLER REGRETS NOT HANGING MORE SOUTHERNERS. After @ xcene of excitement and confusion the objectionable words used by Mr. McLean were re- when the Speaker ruled them out of order, an remarked that i he had heard them utterea he sonia necessarily have called the gentleman to order. Mr. McLEaN—I addressed that remark to the gentleman himseli—not to the House. The SPEAksR—The gentleman had no right | whatever to do that, Mr. BUTLER—I think I ought to be permitted to state that if! had understood the remark, so far from taking any offence at being told that | had banged a man in New Orleans, I snould pa’ loried in it. and the troubie with the country is that I did not hang more, as | ought to have done. (AD- planse and cries of “That 18 good!”) Mr. LaMa® insisted that the Speaker should rule on Mr, Butier’s language, characterizing Mc- Lean as ruManly. The SPEAKER remarked that the gentleman (Mr. Batler) bimself must know that it was not pariia- mentary. Mr. Buruer pleaded that his words were & characterization of tne language and not of the man, Mr. LAMAR asked the Speaker whether a mem- ber nad a right to characterize the eopeere of an. other member as improper, ungentiemaniy and ruMan! He made the point from no other mo- tive than tbat of regulating the decorum and propri 8 of debate. The SPEAKER remarked that it was clearly an- parliamentary, no matter what the provocation was.

Mr. FINox, (dem.) of Ohio, argaed against the bill as a violation of the principles of the constitu- tion. He characterized the pru; d legisiation &s victous and hurtful, There bad not peen a sin- 1@ instance brought before Congress of any uthern State denying to colored Opie pany political privileges or immunities. We ever, sought to establish social ality. The great danger to the country was the usurpation of the general government, both tn @ civil and mill- tary sense, and the only salety was in coming back to the old parties, The House, at five o'clock, toox @ recess till balt- past seven, the evenin: ior debate on the Civil There was an immense audience in the gallertes this evening to listen co the debate on the Civil Rignts dill; but there was not so much interest Mantiested in tt by the members themselves, for tnere were but few seats in the Ubamber occupied. Mr. Parker, (rep.) of Mo., occupied the cnair, and the devate was opened by Mr. Srorm, (dem.) of Pa., who. opposed tne bill as dangerous to the peace of the country, as unnecessary ana uncalled jor, and as having had the seal of popular disap- probation set upon it at the late elections. Mr. WHITEHRAD, (dem.) of Va., Jollowed on the same side, representing the irritating edect which the bill wil Dave on the people of the South, and intimated that in retaliation the cotton and to- bacco of the South would be shipped to Europe irom Southern ports, and that the Southern peo- ple would deal directly with the people of Euro) Mr. HaRRIs. (rep.) Of Mass. inquired of Whitehead as to the statement made to-day by Mr. Lynch, of Mississippi, that be was forced to occupy @ smoking car on the rallroads in Ken- tacky and Tennessee. Mr. WaIreggap said he could not speak for those States; but he knew that within two or three weeks he rode im a railroad car with a col- ored man and wom: nice, well behaved people. So far as he knew Mr. Lynch would get in Vir- ginig as good accommodations at a hotel as the gentleman irom Massachusetts (Mr. Harris) would, though he might oot be placed at the same table or lodged in the same room. Mr. RaIngy, (rep.) of 5. C., intimated that he, as acolored man, would not be allowed to ride in the common atrect cars in Ricumond. Mr. WHIrgnRaD did not know how that was, as he had not been in Richmond for about two years. He deiended the reputation of the people of his Fate, ing that its public men were not tainted with onate Mobilier, Sandorn contracts, Pacific Mail subsidies, Jay Cooke iailures or anything Of the kind, and that that state was free from mur- de} ym riots and irom such great crim. con. cases as flourished tn the State of New York. He deciared that three-fourths of the men on tne re- publican side Bad no more right to pass this bill Than they had to go to heaven or to come to the next Congress. The bill would do the colored men no g00d, bat would produce irritation and bad ieel- ing. Mr. Cain, (rep.) of S, C., advocated the dill and deciared that re would be no real enduring peace In the land so long as 5,000,000 of pe opie | Were deprived of their fy a and so long as tise crimination was made st them. Much ot his : im criticism of Mr. Whitehead’s re- marks, He sneered at the idea of there being bad biooa between the races at the South when statia- tics showed that there were over 1,700,000 mu- lattoes in the country. That was not much evidence of baa bdlood. (Laughter.) Ii the negroes wouid only cease to be republicans and vote the s:raight-ont democratic ticket the wotid be no bad blood between them. As to soctal equality, he dortaed it a8 a bngbear, Why, said he, do you suppose tna woud mtroduce into my tamily a class of white men whom | see in the untry? Du you suppose so for one moment? Whe, sir, there are men Who occupy places on thts Moor for whom | have great respect, and yet | would be very careful how [ should tn- troduce them into my family. (Laugher.) | should oe afraid that thetr old habits, acquired be yond Mason and Dixon’s line, night retarn, and (with great dramatic effect) “stir up bad blood,” (Lona jaughter.) Mr, Hanrts, of Massachusetts, spoke in support Of the bill as a Measure that would aboiish every remaining distinction between the white jreeman ana the black treeman. i He was followed by Mr. Rainey, (rep.) of S. C.. on the same sive, who dectured that he had scen | ‘he bones and dust of dead slaves taken from @ cemetery ana used to fil op the wud holes in phe streets of Richmond. If there was no kindly feeling toward poor dead slaves how could tt be expected that there would be any toward the freedmen who Were struggling to get On the saine plane with rhe Whites?
