Yes- terday in the Senate Mr. Wilson called up the Dbill inereasing the pay of all officers of the army below the rank of Major-Genera per cent.

There are many more, un- doubtedly, but these have not come to the Exceutive knowledge. It is r sle, how- ever, that the President does not include in his statement any reports by military com- manders of crimes committed against the froedmen. These he has referred to the oblivion of the Attorney-General's office President professing to be unable whether they constitute violations of the Civ Rights bill. —_—_—e letter from r, Ministor of We publish this morning refary Seward to Gen. Sal ington, in which the latier is informed that the decree upon the adjudicatic made by President Mosquera is regarded by omr Government as null and void. The decree of Gen. Mosquera transfers the adjudieation of prizes brought by cruisers of the South American Republics or of Spain into Colombian ports, to the Supreme Federal Court. This po- sition, Mr. Seward aserls, absolulely conty venes international law, which gives the adji- dication to the sovereizn of the captor, Thomas has sent a letter to the Mayor of Rome, Georgia, which will obtain the approval of all loyal citizens. He very em- phatically informs the people of the Depart- ment of the Tennessee that the disp of the offense to be punished. They are told that the late war was not a revolution hut a rebellion, and that treason is a crime that must not be paraded as a virtue. He adds that “everywhere in the “States lately in rebellion treason is respect- “able and loyalty odions.” We presume this letter will prevent any renewal of those exhib- ‘b seem recently the display of the Stars and Stripes, The Cable dispateh we pablish this morning ive to the Fenian outhreak in Ireland is of the same vague, contradictory, puzzling char- acter as those previously received on the sub- jeet. The armed Fenians, we are told, have “all disapp 1,” and this is the sum total of the information now given us about the 800 men who, we were informed a few days ago, had taken the ficld. Then, the peasantry are willing to give intelligence of the whe thouts of the insurgents, but object to assist in the arrest of their countrymen—that is, they are at one and the same time willing and unwilling to assist. Eight hundred have dwindled down to 1205 and although “no new rising is appre- “hended, the Government is still sending troops “to Ireland.” We are persuaded that the true story of this outbreak is yet to be told. re The House yesterday, without further de- bate, refused to concur in the Senate amend- ment to the Reconstraction bill by a vote of 73 to 98, most of the Democrats in the negative, Messrs. Roussean and Taylor being the only Democrats who voted in the affiymat The motion for a Committee of Conference was then agreed to. In the Senate this prop- osition was earnestly debated, Mr. Stmner and Mr. Fessenden advocating the appoint- ment of the Committee upon the ground that the bill did not afford sufficient protection to Joyal men. Mr. Fessenden preferved the bill as it origigally came from the House. Mr. herman, on the contrary, desired that the Senate should continne to insist on the amend- ment, contending that it was sufl » enfranchise the black man, without disen- franchising the Rebel, and was sustained by Messrs, Mr. Trumbull thought the orignal bill of the e e ennes, Peb, 10.=3n0w commenced falling I Ldsbaty bow Lnpsyh weou (e eltigiguy of We . the ¥ il ] tended that, wonld hay the United States of Colombia at Wash- of maritime prizes nt to Trumbull, Howard, Lane, and Wade. of no consequence, and Mr. Wade, bill, and the question as to whether the Presi- dent would enforce it, Mr. Sumner stating that the great difficulties of . reconstruc- tion arose from the fact that a bad man was in the Executive chair, euing that the bill did not prevent Rebels from participating in the work of recon- <ruetion, Mr. Conness was in favor of laying the bill on the table and apting Mr. Elliot’s Louisiana bill to all the Rebel States. The Demoerats, including Mr. Cowan and Mr. Doo- little, were generally opposed to a Com- mittee of Conferen and the Senate finally insisted on its amendments. The subject was then returned to the House, and was again debated at the evening session. Mr. Wilson moved to concur, with a provision that no person celuded from office Dy the Coustitutional « Amendment shall take part in the reconstruction of any Rebel State. The Democrats moved to lay the bill on the table, but wero defeated by a vote of 106 to 35, Filibustering motions were then made by the Democrats—Mr. Stevens assisting—with the purpose of delaying the vote on the - main question till after the adjowrnment of the Se With- out any action on the subject the House ad- journed, leaving the bill as unfin shed business to be taken up to-day. and THE TARIFF IN CON( ? We do not know that the Tariff bill now pending in Congress will be signed i passed; and we are well aware that the President has power to defeat it by simply holding it to the close of the session. We feel that this should not, need not have been. The friends of Pro- tection are strong enough in either House to have passed the bill in ample scason to guard against so deplorable a contingend d onght o done it. Precious hours have been enl- ¢ that should | moem- ployed to pass this bill weeks ago. If it shall now fail for want of time, the responsibility will be a grave one. Our adversaries point to certain opponents of his measure who used to rally under the ban- ner of Henry € nd claim that Protection is a failing cause. We point in answer to the vote by which this bill has passed either House —the strongest ever yet given for any de- cidedly Protective iff—and claim that we have gained at least two to their o1 The line of argument on ecither side has aried sinee 1528 and 1842, The Tariffs ¢ years were denomnced as destructive ave b to Commerco and Revenue, and instigated by Manufacturing monopoly and giced. Expo- rience proved our forc prosperous under those as nnder non-Proteetive Tariffs, while ¢ Revenue from lmports was largely, undeniably inereased by them, Mann- facturing monopoly, 8o far as it might be said to exist, was diminished if not aboliched by the cat inerease and diffusion of Iron making, Cloth-making, &c., &« under those Tariffs.

Pennsylvama gave him 50,000 majority on that gronnd. Aud Polk car- ried her hy writing th Kane letter, and being commended on the strength of it as a better Protectionist than the great Kentuckian, Francis W. Huoghes in that contest held a public debate with William B, s assumption Dallas was placed on the ticket with Polk, to assure Pennsylvania that the Tanift of 42 would be maintained; yet the Democratie Congress elected with them i by the casting vote of that identical Dallas— Polk, of course, approving and signing the bill!

The currrent arguments against a Tariff prove it a monstions wrong that New-York should have constructed the Eiie Canal, and thus made this City the Emporinm of the Ne World—ultimately of the whole world, Vor that Canal was dug by taxing men who did not want any Canal—who protested against being saddled with the cost of one. In their view, “Clinton’s diteh ™ was contrived to entich other men at their expense; and t plansibly in- sisted that ditching—unless for sanitary pnr- poses—was not a function of government.

The spectacle of the entire Demoeratic minor- ity of the House following the lead of Mr. Thaddens Stevens—whom their party orgaus have so steadily held up to execration, and whom they have untruly represented as the dictator and auntoerat of the majority—is calen- lated to puzzle the rank and file, who have been accustomed to find exhilaxation in the trumpet-tones of Jack Rogers and rapture in the mellifluong aceents of Brooks. Perhaps we can do something toward a solution of the puzzde—and will endeavor to do it, as follows: 1. As, thronghout our great Civil War, it was confidently asserted by the Democratic lead- ers andimplicitly believed by their followers that the Union could never be restored while the Republicans remained in power, so it is now asserted by those leaders and believed by those followers that the Union cannot be recon- stineted save under Demoeratic rule. Prophets Wt so to act as to verify their own pre- tions if possible; and the Demoerats in Con- gress vote with Messrs, Stevens, Bontwell & (o, in order to prevent and preclude any Re- publican Reconstruetion. I1. The Democrats want no Reconstruction ; holding that none is needed. In their view, the Southern States are all right now, and need only recognition. Give all power to the late Rebels; put their feet on the necks of the loy i their sort of Reconstruction is perfect. To stave off Reconstruction is to give a fresh chanee for the sueeess of this pro- gramme. Henee their action on the Sherman bill, HIL The Democrats contend that the tepublicans managmg to keep the South permanently disfranchised, and at all events preclude her from voting' for next Preside Mr. Stev says frankly that he is in no huery for Reconstruetion. Th Democrats so vote and act as to give him power to-prevent, or at least postpone it. By their aid, a small minority of the Republic party overrnles and defeats the majori Pherenpon they will turn short abont, and ¢ nounce that majority as hostile to a restoration of the Union! — We see nothing in the condnet of the Dem- ocrats in Congress inconsistent with the gr object of their party—to get into power any- at wha cost to the country.

THE LOAN BILL. The Bank men were in Washington a day or two ago in full force. Of comse they were not there without an object. Tt may have been to help along Mr. Hooper’s bill, or so much of it as provides for an abatement of the taxes of the Bauks. It scems a little hard, we confess, that th institutions, which can pay but 24 per cent per annum to their stockholders, should sot be relieved from taxation. But the bank- ers may have had another object, and that is to seeure the passage through the House of the bill lately passed so silently by the Senate, converting the six per cent legal-tenders into three per cent’s, to the extent of cighty millions ; and thus preventing the contraction of just that amount of legal-tender notes which was stipulated for at the last session. If this were so, they have failed in their pnrpose, for a dispateh of last night informs us that the bill was yesterday referred to the Committee on Banks and Curreney, and that the Speaker remarked this disposition of it was equivalent to killing it for this session. We hope Mr. McCulloch will now go on and take up these compound six per cent notes ac- cording to the original plan of last year, either by paying them from cash in hand, or by means of an ordinary loan. And as we are in the line of suggestion, we will further observe that he might meantime advantageonsly stop the banks from deliberately and constantly violating the Law, as they now do, and have long been doing, Dy returning these compounds as part of their Lawful money reser when the law under which they were issued expressly forbid such use of them that the House will see to it that if this bill should be resuscitated now or hereafter, or any other bill should be offered in regard to the issue of legal tenders, all further issues of this sort shall be withont interest. The banks have had about enough out of the Government, and may as well suspend all further drains of this e stion. We hope, however, Mr. McCul- loch will 11 sueir leaps backward in his progiess toward resumption, and snggest no more legal tender extensions of any kind. i A WORLI'S ANTI-SLAVERY CO. NFERENCE.

The head-line of its article of Feh. 14 is, ** Breach of “Trust and Forged Agreements,” and in the same articlo it says *a messenger returned and exbibited what “ purported to be a telegram from Washington.” It adds: * Another half-hour elapsed, when the bey “ yoturned with a note asking us to send back Tuw s so-called Washington telegram.” That language has no meaning mnless it means that tho telegram was forged. The Times did make the charge; it has been proved false, and instead of a retraction, we have a denial that it ever usal the words now standing in plain print in its columns, What regard for truth is to be expected from that sort of an an- tagonist 7 Refusing to print the brief letter aldressed from this office to its Editor, Tie Times takes a colwnn to dispute a statement of facts which it does not venture to let its readers see. But as The Times, admitting that the telegram was genuine, can not deny that whatever was done in this office was done in good faith, it attacks onr Washington cor- v of * attempting to swindle The * Times out of an important piece of news,” alleging “ that when he sent his dispatch lie knes it was at the “ yery least a constructive frand,” ** that by bisown “ admission he never made any arrangement at all “ with any agent,” &e., &e. We have printed in ful the statement of our correspondent, showing that he did, in perfect good faith, make an arrangement with Mr. Painter, and Mr. Painter’s certificate to the same effect; to all which The Times replios by nothing but vagne abuse. If, however, Mr. Young. our correspondent at Washington, had done or attempted any wrong upon The Times, thers isone man who knows the extent of that wrong Detter than anybody else. We mean Mr. Crounse, the Washington correspondent of The Times ; and this is what Mr. Crounse says in a letter to Mr. Young, dated Feb. 162 “This test-oath matter has been unnecessarily dragged in, and the whole thing, so far as your ap- plication to The Times was concerned, was the vesult” of a simple misunderstanding, and involved no action on your part that was not just what that of any ong else wonld have been nuder the same circumstances, —Having, therefore, the admission of The Times that there was no forgery, and the certificate of ity correspondent that what The Times calls a swindle and a theft was ““a simple misnnderstanding,” we ss this eontroversy.

The immediate objeet of the Conference is to take cognizance of the act state of the anti-Slavery question in these countries, and to consider what further means may be adopted to promote the abolition ef Slavery and the shve-trade where those evils still exist. The idea of this Conference is an excellent one, and the proposal deserves warm support. Sueh a Conference was held in London in 1840, and its deliberations were productive of much good in stimulating the zeal of the friends of Emancipation, both in Europe and Ameriea. We believe that now proposed to be held will be equally beneficial, and in view of the work which yet remains to be done before the edifice of freedom ean be crowned, it is carnestly to be hoped that the suggestion of the French Committee will meet with a hearty response from all quarters. We think our own country should be adeguately repre- sented at the Conference by such men as Garrison, Gerrit rith, and others we might mention, who are veterans in the anti-Slavery cause. We owe it to Enrope and (o ourselves o send men whose names will he known and nmintry.
