THE DAILY EVEN 1KG TELKGKAFII. PHILADELPHIA, lllURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1866. lONGnESSlONAI. FIIOCUKJINOS. The following Bre tbe Congressional proceed taps continued from our Fourth Edition of yes terday t ; Senate. At 1C 20 P. M., there betnc no farther new bai. nss before tbe Senate, the bill to regulate tbe elec tive franchise in tbe llBlrlcl of Columbia was taken np. Tbe pending question was upon Mr. Cowan s mendmeot to itnke oat tbe word "mile." Tbe (JUAIK said Mr. Brown, of Missouri, was entitled to the floor. Mr. BROWN said be Hid not believe tbe pending amendment, offered by Mr. Cowan, was Intended in good fallb for praotlcal legislation, If It were intended to be put Into practical effect. He was one of those who believed It would be necessary to accompany it by a good deal of otber legislation to prevent it from degenerating Into abuse and cor. rnptlon; but, accepting the matter in tbe light he bad stated, he, for one, was willing to express his opinion freely on this, subject. I have to say (said Mr. Brown) that I stand for universal eultrnge, and do not recognize the right of society to limit it on any ground of race, color or sex. I will go further, sir, and say that I recognize the right of franchise as being an intrinslcal and natural rlphr, and I do not believe that society has the right to impose any limitations upon that right that does not spring out of tbe necessities of the oolal state itself. These may seem extreme views, bnt they conform to tbe rigid loftc of the question; nd I defy any Senator on this floor to escape from tbem. 1 have been shocked, during the course of this debate, at expressions wbich 1 have beard so they recogni" u m iiiw,viiiiAi.jiii Ualiy no right at all that it was simply a privi lege conceded by society for the government which represents society; that it was a gracious baon from somewhere, and for wbich we should feel prond and thankful. In other words, It was not a right in any sense. Mr. President, 1 do not hold my liberties by any such tenure. I should grieve to think that I was deperdent exclusively in a matter of right upon tbe views of society which may represent only majorities for these rights. On tbe contrary, 1 be. lieve that whenever you establish tbat as tbe doc trine, whenever you crystalize that Idea in the pub lic mind in this country, you ring the death knell Of American liberty. You ring the death knell of American liberty, because you lay it open to overthrow whenever corruption shall prevail to such an extent, and whenever majorities shall be come sufficiently exasperated. Mr. President, so Important and critical, so to speak, do I deem this position, that I trust I may be pardoned if I reter to tbe abstract ground upon wb'ch I deem it to rest, and I do this tbe more readily because, in my belief, ultimately the metaphysical always con trols the practical In life. Now, sir, what are abstract rights, and are there any intrinsically necessary conditions that go to constitute liberty in society I 1 had occasion, a year or two since, to discuss this question very tally before my own constituents, and reviewed this subject, and as I then and there presented the ar gument perhaps more succinctly and briefly than I may do now in tbe course of debate, I will beg leave to refer to it on this occasion. Mr. Brown tben read lengthy extracts from the speech above referred to, and baying done eo, re plied to some arguments advanced by tbe oppon ents of female suffrage. The argument that women conld not participate in the turmoils of elections and political campaign was an argument against the hustings, not against female suffrage. The argument that women onght not to vole because tbey could not be embodied in tbe militia was not founded on fact. Men were exempted from mill, tary service for a variety of reasons, among them physical inability, and were yet allowed the right of suffrage. The same inability could apply in the case of women. Mr. DAVIS succeeded Mr, Brown on tbe floor. He bad given bis views on the subject of negro sun rage during the last session of Congress, but he conld not let this bill pass without again entering bis protest against it once more, lie tben pro ceeded to speak against the pending measure and the pending amendment. To grant tbe right of suffrage to woman would be to drag her into tbe corruptions of politics, and make her a political hack. Ue was opposed to negro suffragb because he believed tbe negro inferior to tbe wbite man, and did not believe a superior race should grant political power to an Inferior race resident among it. The proposition to do such a thing was fanatical and revolutionary, contrary to the teach. Ings of history and the writings of tbe bent philo sophers. Ethnologists bad described the skulls, shins and feet of the negro as decidedly marking him, as belonging to an inferior race. The negro race bad been engulfed in the deepest ignorance for four thousand years without making the least progress. Providence had set blm off by himself, and never intended thai he should mix with the white race sb its equal. He might be its slave, bat never its equal or superior, as fanaticism now pro posed to make him. Mr. SPRAGUE followed Mr. Davis in a writ ten speech of considerable length, taking ground in favor of universal suffrage. Tbe people at the south were kept in poverty and ignorance, he said, in order that a class might be elevated to rule. Such was not tbe case in the north, where the masses had opportunities for information and edu cation. Society in the sooth was not capable of free government, and would not be until moulded with northern ideas. Whenever it was necessary for tbe cause of liberty and equality for men to have the elective franchise he would vote for such a measure. At present it was necessary for tbe cause ot liberty and equality that the colored men should have the franchise, and he would therefore vote for the bill now before the Senate. Mr. BUCKALEW, of Pennsylvania, said he wished to explain why he should vote for Mr. Cowan's amendment. He did not understand himself as casting a final vote on tbe bill, be only wished to attirm by his vote tbat the arguments for excluding the suffrage to negroes applied with greater force to women. As a final question, he was opposed to the extension of suffrage. The question of suffrage must be taken out of the do main of theory into that of practical effect. It was placed by tbe founders of the government on the ground that it should be exercised by those who conld make the best and most efficient use of it. He objected to the extension of suffrage, because it would corrupt and degrade elections. By pouring into tbe ballot-box a large number of votes, subject to Influences either social or pecuniary, you will degrade elections, and on that ground he would : oppose tbe extension of suffrage, either to females or to negroes. He would be less opposed to this measure if there were a different mode of conduct ing elections. Tbe effect of the present mode was to divide people into parties, and to create a strag gle for the balance of power, which led to all man ner of corruption. It was possible to turn the scale of the great State of Pennsylvania, for in stance, by introducing pernicious influences and bringing them to bear upon a very small number. This was an evil inseparable from governments of mere majorities. Tbe class of men now proposed, to be introduced into the political system would be more approachable than any now in it; more ac cessible to demagogues, and more easily corrupted. The reform ought to be in another direction. It ought to be toward organizing the system, instead of its enlargement. As a mere choice between the two kinds of extension, be should vote for Mr. Cowan's amendment. At 3 P. M. Mr. DOOLITTLE moved that the' Senate adjourn. Disagreed to. Mr. DOOLITTLE This amendment, in my judgment, opens a very grave question; a question graver than appears at first blush; a question upon wbich tbe ablest minds are distinct here and else where; a question, however, upon which we are called to vote, and therefore one upon wbich I desire very briefly to state the views which con trol my judgment when I say that I shall vote against tbe amendment which is now offered. Vor myself, sir, after giving some considerable reflec tion to the subject of suffrage, I have arrived at this conclusion that the true base or foundation upon which to rest suffrage in any republican community is upon the family the head of the family; besause, in all civilized communities the family is the unit, and not the individual what is meant by man in tbat relation where he is placed both, according to nature, to reason and to religion. And If it were left to me to deter mine wbat should be the true qualification of a fierson to exercise the right of suffrage f It were a new question, I would fix it upon this that the head of a family, capable of support ing that, family, and that bad supported a lumily, should be permitted to vote, and none others. And, Mr. President, while I know tbat the question is not a new one, while it is impossible for me to treat It as a new question, because suffrage has been extended everywhere beyond the beads of families, yet, sir, the reason, in my judgment, why it has been extended is simply this: if certain men have been permitted to vote who were not heads of families, It was because they were exceptions ta - : the general rule, and because it was to be pre- - - sumed that If they are not now the heads of faml-' ies they ought to be, and they probably will be r ..I ay, Mr. President, tbat, both according' to ; reason, nature and religion,, the family u th unit of human society, and so tar as the ballot u can. 1 j corned, In my Judgment, it represents this san.a. i mental alemeut of 'human sooietyt it, therefure, should be cast by the bead of the. family, and to cording to reason i nature and religion the man . is 13 the bead of Ue family. la, that relation, while very man ia Xing, every .woman is . queen, ojid pon wan devolves the responsibility ol control Hi ? the menial rein Inns t his tamily, and these external relations tre controlled by the psllo'; for that ballot or vote w hlcb, be castn goes to chilose the legislators who are to make the laws which ore lo govern society wlthlu the ttun ly clr le wl'bln the tairtllv. Man Is snprme. He governs by the law of the Inmily, b the Inn ot reason, iiature and religion. Ttetelore it In that I am not In favor of conlrrrtng tbe right of eoffrego upon woman. Now, Mr President, one word further npon the tnhjtct of suffrage, as It cone ms 'he other races. We sre Caucasian, and represent that race. From history, from our education, from our experience, every man of full age of tbe CbdchsImo race in this country, as a general rule, is competent to ex-r-cite the right ol suffrage. In reliuiou to the Alrl chns, Mongolians, Indians aud Asiatics In tnls country, from their history they are incompetent, as a general rule, the exceptions only being com petent. Now, we may as well tpeak truly on this ques'lon. When a man tells me, for Instance, that tbe Indians of the M'aies and territories are com petent to exercUe this great right of suffrage, he tells me wbat I cannot be made to believe, and what seems tome Imuos-ibln lor any man to believe When a man tells me 'hat the Africans In this country, Just let free on the plantation?, speaking of thtm as a mass, not exceptional cases for there are a great many exceptional cases of intelligent colored men who are competent to exercise this right but when a man tells me that as a mass these men Just set free are competent to exercise tbe right of suffrage, to help to make the laws of this great republic, be tells me what is perfectly ab horrent to my Beuee of just reasoning and pro priety. Sir, it wonld be a burlesque on republican in stitutions, and we wonld make ourselves the have jutt been set free from a bondage of two hun dred j ears In this country, and who in tbe coun try from wbich they came have never risen from a position the most degraded of any on the face of the earth to t 11 aif tbat they are educated aud ex. perlenced now, the moment their shackles are stricken off, and are in a condl'ion to exercise this high right of suff rage. It is contrary 10 reason, in my Jnttgnient. It seems to me perfectly im pcssible. Mr. Doolittle tben referred to the assertion that tbe people hud decided this quettion at the polls in tbe late elections. 1 he issue, be sttld, instead of having been made, was avoided everywhere. The idea of universal negro snffrage as the basis of re construction was avoided everywhere in every State of the Union. It may be possible that in Massachusetts it was not I am not so sure about that but In every Stale where there was any fear of losing the election it was avoided. In conclusion Mr. Doolittle said he conld not possibly vote for a universal suffrage bill. Perhaps be might vote for quullfted suffrage. Mr. I OWEKOY, ot Kansas, explained briefly hiB opposition lo the penning amendment. He did not wish to complicate the qots ion before the Sfi atp, v-hlch was for colored suffinge only. The bill now pending was to be a model for others on tbe same subject, and be did not wish to bring the question of female suffrage Into It. 1 be yeas and nays were then culled on Mr. Cowan's amendment to strike out the word "mule" before the word person.

Absent or not voting Messrs. Crtgin, Fowler, Unthrle, Jobn-oo, Mcl'oiiaall, r ye 6. So IIih amendment was not adopted. Mr. DIXON, of Connecticut, offered the follow ing amendment: Insert at the end of the first section of the pro posed substitute of the Committee on the District of Columbia the words: ''Provided, that no per son who has not heretofore voted in this District shall be permitted to vo e unlees he shall be able, at the time of offering to vote, to read and also to write bis own name." Mr. Dixon said bis amendment was intended as a protection to the ballot. He inteudtd to vote for the bill It thus amended. Color or race should not be a test of the right to vote, but be doubted the propriety of giving tbe suffrage to any man who could not read or write. Mr. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, said that, ns a general proposition, he was not in favor of busing tbe right to vote upon intelligence, and in regu lating the right of suit rage among wblto people be should vote lor such u proposition as was con tained in Mr. Dixon's amendment, but as it was now proposed to introduce into the citizeuship of this District a very large class of persons who are known not to be qualilied lor the exercise ot the franchise, he felt it to bo his duty to vote tor this qualification. Mr. SACLSVBURY, of Delaware, said he be lieved that upon the passage ot this bill the never satitfied abolition element of this country would put ittell to work to flood tbe District with as many free negroes as possible, so as to get the Dis trict under negro control a negro Mayor, a negro Common Council so that there should be at least one free negro government in tbe American Union. Although, be w as not in favor of female suffrage, tor the reasons so well slated by others, still, with a view of delaying as far as possible such a catas trophe as was proposed, he bud tried to bring his mind to vote lor female suffrage, bnt it would have been to vote for negro as well as white women, aud, under no circumstances, here, in his own State, or wherever upon this continent he might he located, wonld he vote for negro suf frage. It was but the beginning of tbe forcing of nee ro suffrage every where throughout this country. 'J his bill wits, in tbe language of the Senator from Kansas (Pomeroy), e model to be copied throughout the States, at least throughout tbe States of tbe nolhwest; and neither could be vote for the proposition of the Senator from Connecticut. What was the tesi'l A person who could read and write his name: a wonderful amountot education to qualify a man for the discharge of the high office undtiustof voting great knowledge of the sys tem of government nnder which we live! Did this imply ihat to vote for tbat he also world have to vote for negro suffrage to some extent! He (Mr. SauUbury) hud no more prejudices against the negro race than gentlemen who as sumed to be their warmest lreiuds. He knew them much better than they did. He had received many more acts of kindness from them, and done many more acts of kindness for tbem, than their pre tended friends. If he knew his own heart to-day, the early recollection of his childhood and the ex perience of his life wonld teach him that when ever it was proper to extend to tbem an act of kind new which it was in his power to do, he would do It. Born in their midst, with them as the playmates of bis childhood, and as members of hit, own fa ther's household, be bud no unklndness for tbem. He believed tbeir trne friends were not to be lound among that clans of men who are clamoring for their eqnality of rights. Their true friends were those who bad known them and bad been taught from early Infancy to treat them with that kind ness with which an inferior race ought to be treated by a superior race. At the conclusion of Mr. Sanlsbury's remarks, the Senate, on motion of Mr. HENDERSON, ad journed. House of Representatives, Mr. THA YEIi, of Pennsylvania, from the Com mittee on Private Land Claims, reported back the Senate bill conflrmingHhe title of Alexis Oardas sier to a certain tract ot land In Brown county, Wisconsin. Read three times and passed. Mr. DARLING, of New York, presented the petition of fifty Sandy Hook pilots, praying lor an appropriation by Congress to remove the wreck of tbe steamer Scotland. Tbe bill reported on tbe 5th of December by Mr. Williams, from tbe Judiciary Committee, for the regulation of appointments to and removals from oillce, came np as business in order. After a great deal ot discussion and action upon a variety of amendments, the bill was postpoued until to-morrow, and the bill and pending amend ments ordered to be printed. The second and third sections of the bill as agreed to are as follows: Section a. And be it further enacted, Tbat in case of the refusal of tbe Senate to advise and consent to the renomination of any ollicer whose term of servlqe may have expired by its own limitation, the place filled by the person bo renominated sball be regarded and is hereby deolared to be va cant from tbe time of such refusal; but should tbe Senate adjourn without aotlon on such renomina tion, either In the way of consent or disapproval, the same shall be held and Is hereby declared to be vacant immediately after such adjournment; and in no case shall any person who has been nomina ted by tbe President for any otUce, and rejected by the Senate, or on whose nomination that body has fulled or declined to act, In tbe way of consent or refusal, be appointed or commissioned by blm after- tbe -adjournment, and during. tbe recess of that .body, to bold the same office for which he had been previously nominattd. -Provlded, however, tbat so much of this section as makes the office va cant from the time of the refusal of the- Senate to advise and consent to a renomination, shall not be held to apply to cases of commissions to till va cancies happening -during tbe recess, and wbich under tbe Constitution are made determinable at tbe end ol their next session. i ' Section 3. And be it further enacted, Tbat when ever a vacancy in any dtlice happening during ue J'Sfs erf live- Senate ray- hve boon ..tilled by the 'Preatdent, la aovordOPtf wlUi tstexottsioueof tbe 1,'oiiBtitmion, by grsniing a commission to expire at tbe end of ibelr next session, II sball be the duty of the President to make a nomination for the f.rt cflUe before tbe end of tbe next ensuing sexton of ihat IfOdy, and If no appointment, bv z.nA with the an vice and contett ot 'be Sei ate, ,t,ai be madd to tuibtfllceso vacant or temrrarl)y ailed aa afore taidourlng such next ioa of tbe Senate, such olllt ihf.ll remain 'abeyance wilhoutany salary, f. f or emoluments attached thereto, until tbe same shall be tiled by appointment thereto, by and with tbe advice end consent of the Senate, and during Mich time all the powers and duties belonging to such cfflce shall be exercised by each other ollicer as may by law exercise such powers and duties in casM ol a vacancy In such office. Tbe fourth aeotlon, as modilleci by Mr. Williams, reads as follows; Atd be It lurther enacted. That the beads of the seveisl departments ot tbe government shall hold their tfHces respectively for and during tbe official turn of tbe President by whom tbey were ap pointed, unless removed by tbe President, by and witb tbe advice and consent of the Senate, and ibail severally aproint tbelr assistants and all other subordinate officers appertaining to their re spective department, subject to the approval of tbe Senate, on report to be made to thai bod v, if then In session, or if during the recess, at the next meeting thereof, to hold for like period, unless re moved witb tbe like concurrence of that body. Mr. HALE, of New York, moved to strike ont Ibe last portion of tbe section commencing "and it sball severally appoint tbelr assistants." Altera long discussion, tbe question was taken by yeas and nays, and resulted In the rejection of the motion yeas 77, nays 78.
