X WASHINGTON, Monday, Feb. 4, 1567, Tn the Senate to-day the resolutions of the Wis- eonsin Legislature, requesting Mr. Doolittle to re- wgn, ‘hair, and ordered to be ‘were prosented by the ] ) printed. The proposition pay of civil ©HK S.SATE DEBATING THE to increase the employés in Washington was taken up and debated, burs the expiration of the morning bhour eut, it off, and it takes its chances on future morning hours. Mr. Williams introduced a bill declaring the wilitary waperior to the civil power in the rebellious States. M wanreferred to the Reconstruction Committec. The Bankrupt bill was debated from 1 till 5 o'clock. A& test voto was taken on & motion to recowmi, which was defoated; 5o the passage of the bill may be looked upon as tolerably certain. Mr. Wade jntends to call up his one-term amendment {0 the Constitution to-morrow if heean get an oppor- tumty. Mr. Edmunds will press the Tenure-of-Office bill to a vote as soon as the Bankrupt bill is disposed of.. It ip probable that the amendment of the House preventing the removal of Cabinet officers without the consent of the Senate will be concurred in. ‘Fhis s the only point at issue between the two Houses on ihe bill. ‘This being resolution day in the House, some two hours were consumed in disposing of & Jarge pumber that were offered. Hooper and Kasson attempted to have the House hold night sessions during the re- mainder of the session, but failed, a majority of the members being of opinion that five hours stroteh daily in a badly ventilated room, containing at Jeast an an average three hundred persons, is enongh, without adding three or four hours more. ir. Noell intreduced a resolution asking for o suffrage. He began introducing this or a similar resolution on the first day of the session, aud continues bringing it wp for action weekly. It was laid over to-day under the rules of the House, and will not be heard of again until next Monday. Nothing will behgan] of Noell until then. A num- ber of members were evidently taken with a fi- pancial fit. No less than eix resolutions touching the finances of the eountry were introduced for dis- posal,. The vote on Wilson’s resolution, providing for vo greater curtailment of Government currency than #i8,000,000 for the year 1867, which shall not be ex- clusive of and in addition to the compound interest notee falling due the current year, and in lien of the componnd interest notes in excess, the Secretaxy of the Treasury being anthorized to issue Jegal tender notes not. bearing intexest, stood 40 Yeas to 7 Nays against ordering the pre- vious question. Price of Jowa after Introduced a resolution substantially the same as Wilson's, and the previous question”on its passage was refused by the close vote of 68 Yeas to 69 Nays. Coukling and Morrill wefé very active in ob- taining the defeat of these resolutions, and were sup ported by members from the Eastern and Middle States, a fow Western Democrats. After Wilson and Price had been disposed of, Grinnell of Towa in- troduced a resolution providivg for no further redue tion of ontstanding United States notes, and in- stiveting the Ways and Means Commitée to report such bill 48 necessary to cffect this object. Morill sttemptéd to have this tabled, but failed by a vote of %0 to 82 The bill was passed by a very close it. vote, the Western men_going almost solidly fc From finances the House went to loyalty and triotisio. A resolution was offered by Mr. Schenck to instruct the Naval ComMmittee to report on the ex- pediency of removing the Naval Acader from Aunnapolis, Md., to a point in the United 8t o loyal eommunity exists. On this resolution the yules for its introduction were suspended by the laree yote of 9 to 36, and it was agreed to by a strictly party vote. Schenck supported his resolution ina fow pertinent remarks, in which he stated that it wae & notorious and disgraceful fact that Annapolis, the site of the present Naval Academy, contained a community disloyal to the Government, and the social influence upon cadets was alarming, and should be immediately looked after. They recent aetion of the Maryland Legislature, | in throwing out.a Union member for the purpose of electing Gov. Swann United States fenator, and providing for the overthrow of the present Municipal Government of Baltimore, was among the things that prompted the resolution, Tis receiving the solid sapport of the Republican party in the House shows that it was well timed. The rest of the day’s session was spent on the Harbor and River Fortification Appropriation bill, which, after | adebate of an hour and maore, was virtually killed in Committee of the Whole by the striking out of the enacting clause. This was a test vote, and sures the defeat of the bill when a vote is taken in the House. The spirit of the Republican members of the House toward the Executive was shown to- fay. Bingham offered a resolution, which read that “the House respectfully request the elary of State to furnish it certain information,” ete. Conk- ling yose when it was offered, and moved to amend by striking out the words “respectfully request,’ and make it simply the House “order” the Seeretary of State to fuinish, ete. The Senate, in returning the Tariff Dill to the House, didnot send their various amendments 1o itin detail, as usual, but struck the whole LIl out from the enacting clause, and inserted a substitute - | bodying all the points on which theyfagreed, as well | a8 those on which they disagreed. By sending their amendinents only, all the numerous items on which the two Houses have agreed—such as coal, &c.— would, by the rules, have been out of the contro- versy, but, as it is, every item is again open to debate and amendinent, doubling the time to be spent in the eonsideration of the bill in the House, and doubtless | Ineressing the points of disagreement to be finally sottled by & Conference Commiitee. The last legislative day of this session will be Sat- | urday, March 2, as, althongh Congress always con- | tinues its session from the previous day till noon of March 4, it cannot hold a legislative session of that date. As the President has 10 days beside Sundays to | consider bills, all sent him on and after Weduesday, Feb. 20, can be pocketed by him. From the vote of the House to-day on the subject of removing the Naval Academy from Annapolis, it 1» evident that the Naval Committee will report iw- mediately in favor of the removal. Itis stated that New-London, Conn., will be selected as the site for the new Academy, and that League Island will be velected as the station for the proposed iron-clad Navy-Yard. Laflin’s bill taking from the President 1he appoint- sfient of Government Printer, and giving the same to the House, passed the House to-day, and will pass the Senatealso. When it becomes a law, Wendell, the pwesent incumbent, will be dismissed, and his predecessor, Joseph H. Defrees, appointed fo the place. Defrees was removed I,yvv!n the ‘))_ll_'_g last PBummer, because he would not suppoit the Piecki- | dent’s policy. Seeretary MeCulloch hias ent to Senator Fessenden, Chairman of the Pinance Couhnittee, the scheme prepared by him in conjunction with the National banks, providing for the issue of 100,000,000 4 per cent. loan certiticates. 1t is expected that the Chabr will lay this measure heMre the committee to- | morrow. The Secretary accompanied it with a letier, o which he recommended it to the favorable con- | siderution of the Committee, 1t in thonght that o majority of the Committee will instr - Chalnman o report it to o Rows . we Senate. The | There Committes gjo posed t, b s dittle doubt that it will pass tlew - i Hounse. The W9 wlso eppased 1o dhe Prvpoliva introduced to-day and passed, instrocting said Com- mittes to report a bill providing that there shall be no further reduction of the four millions of green- backs per month during the present year. The Com- mittee are, nevertheless, compelled to report the bill, and it will probably pass the House, but. it will un- doubtedly fail fn the Senate. The Secrotary of the Treasury has strength enough in the § mate Commit- tee to provent its being reported this session. The most that either House will do this session will be to pass some measure providing for the issue of loan certificates, to take the place of the compoupd in- terest notes falling due during tho year 1867, The Senate Committee on Post-Offices and Post- toads had under consideration to-day the House bill allowing the Clinton Bridge to be constructed across {he Mississippi. Gen. Warren, belonging to {he United States Engineer Corps, was examined in regart to the matter. Nothing definite was done in the matter. The Committee will meet again'to- IMOITOW. The Senate Military Committee have had under consideration for some time the House bill for the construction of an air line railtpad from Washington to Now-York, and to-day asked fo be dischaeged from further consideration of the subject. The Committee were unable to ascertain that anybody desived the construction of this road—taking swall account of the unanimous wish of the public. The Sub-Committee of Waysand Means, who have ky tax question @ler examination for npward of & week, made their report to the General Committeo to-day. From all the information which they were evabled to obtain on the subject, they are of opinion that it is not expedient to make any reduc- tion at present. The ‘General Committee bave not yet ncted upon the matter. Commissioner Wells is Very anxious to get areduction, but it Jooksas if he will fail. The recent seizure of [Spanish wines at the New- York Cnstom-House is to be brought to the at- tention of the Government here. It is alleged that evidence has been filed by the Spanish Minister with thie,Department fully justifying the importers. A resolution will be intreduced to-morrow calling upon the Government to furnish that information. It is urged that the persons engaged in effecting these seizures were influeficed by othier than honest motives. In the event of the rejection of Gen. Dix’s nomina- tion, the French mission will be in all probability solicited for Senator Foster. Gov. Andrew of Boston i spoken of as a still more available and competent candidate, his great services during the war calling for such a distingnished recognition. Tt is stated the President favors Gov. Andrew, notwitbstaudivg his politics. The Vienna mission will probably be ten- dered to Gen. King, now at Rome. Cowan cannot be confirmed. The rumers which prevail here of a new policy of reconstruetion to be forthcoming in the President’s message to the Fortieth Congress have obtained some weight from the fact that on Sunday even- ing Governors Orr, wsons and Sharkey telegraphied to the Governors of Missis- sippi, Georgia and North Carolina to hold their Legis- Jatures in session, and if adjonrned te callgan extra session immediately. 1t is now definitely stated that the coterie of prominent Southerners, including Gov- ernors Orr, Parsons, Sharkey and Marvin, who have been of late in frequent consultation with the Preel dent,have prepared aseries of resolutions that are to be transmitted to the Legislatures of the excluded States for adoption. They relate principally to the question of suffrage, aud provide that all male adults having the proper requisites of age, & way vote, without distinction of color, provided they can read and write and possess property to the amount of §20. 1t was with a view to obtaining the earliest possible aetion upon these resolntions, which have been for- warded to South Carolina and Ge the dispatches of the Governors ale 1o their Legislatures were The question is thus pre may be advised in season te [ermine npon the tenor of himmessage. The question of general am- nesty is said to have not been taken into cousidera- tion in the formation of the *“new policy.” The Sonthern Republican Association held a meet- ing to-night, at which there was alarge attendance. The reporis of & portion of the Coumnittces pre- vionely appointed were made, and others asked for additional time. In accordance with a resolution heretofore adopted, the Chairman announced the fol- Jowing as the only nan.es he had thus far sel an Executive Committ: o continue in fo the close of the next Presidential election, to arrange the details and manage the campaign in the South- ! ern States, and also to perate with other lo conventions aud associations having the sawe o Texas, A.

There was no other business of importance transacted, the hours of the meeting being yeincipally occupied in Jong dis- cussions as to whether newspaper correspondents and reporters should be allowed to make reports of doings of the Association.

Grant a plan proposed by Col. Parker of his staff, for establishing a permanent peace between the United States and the various In- dian tribes. It embodies four principal suggestions: First: That the management of the Indian Affairs should be transferred to the War Department ; giving reasons, among whith i the assumed necessity of dbolish- 1 agency system. It charges upon u 1ts the disposition ** to avoid all trouble and re. 3 and make us mieh maney as possible out of “their offices.” Second: The establistrment of Tervitorlal Governments fu’whu Tndians. pird: The appointment of an Tnspection Board asa temporary measure 1o examine the accounts of Indian Agonts, and_inspect the goode and agricultural imple- wems furnished to the Tndigns, Fourth: A commission consisting of whites and educated Indiaus to visit all the tribes; hold talks with them; show them the benefits of pernatent peace, and of abandon- ment of a nomadic Life; the adoption of agrcultural and pastoral pursuits; and of consolidating In one territory. 'E:;Amuicun Goverpment protests that it “can never adopt The policy of a (otal extermination of the Indian race within her limits, numbering, per- hape, less than 400,000, without a cost of untold treasure and Jives of her people, heside exposing herself to the abhorrence and consure of the entire civilized world.” Major-Gen, Pope wiitten a Jetter to Gen.

N is a There is considerable speculation Lere regarding the ascembling of €0 many prominent Generals of the army. The presence of Gens. Sickles, Pope, ‘Thomas, Sheridan, G. K. Warren, and others, and the report that Gen. Sherman will arrive to-morrow, and (hat Gen. Meade has also been enmmoned here, are suggestive of important matters which call for theix attention, Ger. Sheridan arrived to-night at Willard’s, accompanied by Gen. Yorsyth, Col. Thos. Moore, Major Schuylex Croshy, and Dr. Asche of his staff. Gen. Grant has invited Gen. Sheridan to become his guest during his stay here, Gov. Winthrop of Mass., and Geo. Peabody arrived here to-day. A suit has been commenced by Richard 1.
