It had t ever been maintained until now, lie Baid, that (lonpresa had a right to foiin a coiistitntlon lor the people of a new State, and this amendment propr fed to do that. Congress had power to admit new SlRte, but none whatever to make aconsti tution for a State applying for admission.

ISG1, Congress passed an act to enable the people of Ne braska to form a constitntion and State govern ment, and ottered to admit said State, when so formed, Into the Union upon compliance with cer tain conditions therein specified; and whereas it appears that the said people have adopted a con stitution, which, upon due examination, is found to con form to the provisions and comply with the conditions of said act, and to be republican in its form of government, and that they now ask for ad mission Into the Union, therefore be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Kepresentatives of the United Slates of America in Congress assembled, That the constitution and State government which the people of Nebraska have formed for them selves be and the same Is hereby accepted, ratified, and confirmed, and that the said State of Nebraska shall be and is hereby declared to be one of the United States of America, and is hereby admitted into the Union upon an equal footing with the original States in all respects whatsoever.

It Is in language similar to that just passed for the admission of Nebraska. Mr. EDMUNDS, of Vermont, offered an amend ment in language identical with the third section of the Nebraska bill as passed, and it was adopted. Mr. HENDRICKS, ot Indiana, took the floor in opposition to the admission of Colorado. Mr. DOOLITTLE, of Wisconsin, spoke against the bill. Mr, SHERMAN, of Ohio, spoke in favor of It.

' The bill, as passed, is In the language of the Ne braska bill as given Jn this report. Mr. WADE, of Ohio, called up a bill annulling all laws of Congress or the territories, making distinction in the exercise of the elective franchise or other civil or political rights on acoount of color. Pending the consideration of this bill, the Senate Adjourned at 4 25 P. M. House of Ilepresentatlves. On motion of Mr. CULL.OM, of Illinois, the Committee on Ways and Means was instructed to inquire Into the expediency of so amending the revenue law as to exempt from income tax In comes to tbeextentof 10KJ, and to tax all incomes above that amount five per cent. Mr, ALLEY, of Massachusetts, from the same committee, reported a joint resolution appointing the Mayor and Postmaster of the cltv of New York, the District Attorney of the United States in New York city, the President of the Chamber of Commerce of the city of New York, Jackson Schnlu, Charles H. linaeell and Moses H.Taylor ft conimUtton to purchase the site for a building for a p-t rUce arrt tnil Stt'rs Cour s i". tft. riiv ct Nw York, in accordance with iru.ir rpr?r. fubir. i ltd to the Secret iry of the Interior snrt lVMiiiFtfier (),'i,ertl, i.i.

Mr. ALLEY made some remarkeexpiamingand urging the pntsnge of the resolution. He said that the property in ques'ion vB worth at least four millions of dollai3. One genilemtn on the floor had nnid he would tlve three millions lor it. The Commission had recommended nn appropriation ot a million and a half of dollar to erect a build ing, but in the opinion of the comraltttee It would cost lees to secure the elie, and authorize the (lorn, mlselou 'o procure estimates and plans and sub mit them to the Secretary of the Interior and the Postmaster General, to be by tiiein communicated to Congrete, and then such au appropriation could be made as the facts of the case might seem to justify. The committee had thought best to go no lurther than simply recommend the pnrchase of the site, and let the Commission he continued At the suggestion of Mr. RAYMOND, the te port of the Commission was read. Mr. CHAN LER remarked that no mention was made in n gard lothe disposition of the preml-es now occupied by the posl-oltice in New York. He should like to hear what was proposed to be done With thnt vrv valnab'e property. Mr. ALLEY replied that tha matter had been before the commit tee, and that It was thought best to recommend no action at present, Inasmuch as the property would have to be occupied until the new building should be erected. It was supposed that it TvoulU sell for i.Ki.OOn. which would go fir towaids piying for the purchase ot the new site. Mr. CllANLE I Inquired whether there was any nr.derslandiitg in reference to the transfer or sale of the property now used as a post-oiltce,' Mr. ALLEY declared that there was no such understanding, either real or Implied. Mr. CHANLER stated that It was currently nn. di rstood in New York that the present post-ollice property was to be transferred to the Chamber of Commerce and to the Merchants' Exchange, In stead of being sold for the benefit of the govern ment. Mr. ALLEY stated that he had beard no such information except from the gentleman ( Mr. Chan ler) himself, lie did not believe there was any such arrangement or understanding: and if there was It certainly could not be carried into eltect without a special act of Congress. ' Mr. DODGE, of New. York, said that the matter of the New York Post-offlce was one of national importance. It was cot simply a post-otnee for the accommodation of citizens of New Y'ork, bnt for the benefit cf the entire country. The present post-office there was the old Dutch church, and was one ot the most luconveaient buildings that could possibly be conceived. The vast Increase of business in that city demanded that there should be a post-ollice of euflicient magnitude to permit business to be done rapidly, conveniently and economically. A tew years ago the mails from Europe arrived only once a month by steamer. When the mails came to be bi-monthly there was a great Increase of business. Now steamers arrived there dally from various parts of Europe, and he noticed that on laut Saturday twelve large steamers had sailed from that port, each of them carrying mails. The mail matter at New York had In creased in ten years from thirty to one hundred tons daily. The property now offered by the cor poration of New York to the United S ates gov ernment for a post-ollice and United States courts, at the nominal sum of $500,000, would sell at auc tion for from three lo five millions of dollars. This was an opportunity such as the government could seldom obtain, and he truated that it would be im mediately embraced. Mr. UOUT WELL, of Massachusetts, intimated that be conld not see the propriety of making the Mayor of New York one of the Commission. Mr. ALLEY explained that this was simply a continnatlon of the original Commission. Mr. WASHBURN E, of Illinois, moved to add to the commissioners the name of Chas. H. Rogers, oi niw xora. Mr. RAYMOND, of New Y'ork, thought that the importance of the Commission was greatly overrated by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Washburne), and the gentleman from Massachu setts (Mr. liontwell). All that the Commission wonld have to do would be to take as a Commis sion under the government title from the city of this real estate. When application was made to Congress, and Congress came to act upon it, lor an appropriation to erect a building, it would then be quite competent for the gentleman from Illinois to furnish if he could, and as he trusted be would be able to do, honest men in New York lit to be entrusted with this work. He believed that no suspicion was cast by any one on the in tegrity of any of the gentlemen now Included in the Commission. He certainly had no objection to the gentleman named by the gentleman from Illinois, bnt he supposed that each member could name a proper man who might desire to have connection with this business. He saw no sort of ntility in making any change In the present Commission. No member who had been in the city of New Y'ork and had inspected the accommodations furniBbed to the post-office and the United States Courts there, would hesitate to say that they were a disgrace to the government. It was disgraceful that this government shoal 1 have been served there lor the last ten years in buildings that would be discreditable to any town of respectable size anywhere on this continent. The United States Courts there, were cow accom modated in what was formerly a theatre, at a rant of 22,0oo a year, and they were such accommo la tions as no man would be content with for bis pri vate business. The amendment offered by Mr. Washburne, to add the name of Charles 11. Rogers to the Com mission, was agreed to, and the joint resolution so amended was read three times and passed. on motion of Mr. DAWES, the Sergeant-at. arms was directed to pay to Hon. V. W. Gooch, late member from Massachusetts, the amount of increased compensation from the commencement of the Thirty-ninth Congress to date cf bis resig nation. - Mr. IJIDWELL, of California, Introduced a bill respecting the town slieof Shasta, Calitriu. Re ferred to the Committee on Pu:.'!" Lads. On motion of Mr. SPALDING, ot Ohio, ilie Committee on Commerce wis Instructed to Inquire into the expediency of giving increased compensa tion to keepers of light houses and light vessels ot the United Stales. On motion of Mr. GRINNELL, of Iowa, the Secretary of the Interior was requested to Inquire whether any modification of the third article ot the treaty with me Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, ratified June 28, lt-tio, can be made, whereov the bOOO persons of color among them may have their status as citizens define 1, and may be allowed to select homesteads from the unoccupied lands. Mr. MAYNARD, of Tennessee, asked leave to otter a resolution to modify the resolution of the luth of January, lf-00, instructing the Committee on Claims to reject all claims ot citizens of the States lately, in rebellion, so as not to apply to Claims presented by loyal citizens of Tennessee. Mr. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, objected, and the resolution was not received. Mr. HOOPER, of Massachusetts, from the Com mittee on Banking and Currency, reported back an act to incorporate the National Safe Deposit Company of Washington, D. C. Read 'the third time and passed. On motion ot Mr. PATTERSON, of iNew Hampshire, the Secretary of War was requested to communicate information in regard to contracts tor fire-arms, rifles, carbines and pistols made since April 5, 1So4: whether any such contract has been sub-let, and if so on what conditions. The SPEAKER presented messages from the President of the United States as follows: Trans mitting a report from the Secretary of War, with accompanying papers, in answer to House resolu tion of the llith of December, in reference to the murder of United States soldiers in South Caro lina, and the conviction, respite and subsequent discharge on habeas corpus of the murderers.

Mr. MARVIN, of New York, presented the pe. tltion ot many citizens of i'ulton and Saratoga counties, New Y'ork, praying for an appropriation of looo per year to Ssmuel Downltg, the only surviving soldier of the American Revolution.

The General and Mrs. Grant were evidently much gratified by the dnse throng of frieDds, who were received by them with marked cordiality. From Fortress Monroe. Fortrrbr Mokrob. Jan. 8. A terrible nre oc curred In Norfolk this morning, at one o'clock, which consumed the Atlantic Hotel, one of the principal and finest hotels sooth ot Baltimore, and teveral very valuable business sites. The alarm was sounded at one o'clock, and the Are department, hastening to the scene, found the hotel in flames. Notwithstanding their most strenuous exertions, the flames rapidly extended, communicating to the adjoining banking honse of Chamberlain 4c Co. The supply of water in the cisterns and the artesian well soon became ex hausted, rendering the exertions of the He-men powerless. Very few persons were lfl the build ing, and many of these made narrow escapes. Four hours afterward nothing was left of the hotel but the outside walls. The origin of the fire, whether the work of in cendiaries or not, has cot been ascertained. It first broke ont in what is called the carving room The proprietor, Mr. A. "G. Newton, on being awakened by the watchmen, discovered all the corridors filled with smoke, and it was an hour bfterward before the flames were seen issuing forth. The hotel was owned by a stock company, and was opened in 1859 by Mr. Newton. It has not been a very remunerative investment. The Union Hook and Ladd-jr Company ot Nor folk rendered especial assistance in rescuing the guests by means ot their ladders, and the citizens generously provided for these who had lost then clothes. The loss of theie valuable buildings and busi ness places Is a heavy loss to Norfolk, which has just been recovering from several disastrous fires wnicn occurreu during me war, ana tne citizens are particularly severe on the city authorities for being so tardy in providing the necessary tire ap paratus and water facilities. A subscription has already be9n started by seve ral prominent citizens to purchase a steam tyre en gine and a large amount of hose. It is said that a lew feet of hose more would have extinguished the fire when It first broke ont, and saved one of the finest structures in the city. The following is the statement of the Insurant on the buildings destroyed: Atlantic IIT4l Mas ha' (an Company, New York, JWOOO; National Company, Baltimore, (i(i0 Sprinfrfleld Company, Massachusetts, ssuul): Amer ican Company..

The locg-talked-ot cane prepared by the ladles of a Catholic congregation in Norfolk, a month or so ago, was yesterday presented to Jeff. Davis, lr. his quarters in Carroll Hall, by a gentleman named John O. Garmage, a resident u: the city, wt.0 won the honor at a public rattle. The cane, which has been previously described, is made of a piece ef oak from the rebel ram Ma nassas, surmounted by a massive gold head, on w bicb Is inscribed an appropriate legend. Mr. Gaimage arrived here yesterday morniug with the committee on presentation, and, afier the usual preliminaries, they were admitted to the quarters of Davis. After a short conversation he produced the cane trom a velvet-lined box, and said : 'Mr. Davis: By chance, sir, it has become my very pleasant duty to present you this cane. It is a token of respect and esteem from the ladies of the Catholic congregation of Norfolk. Be pleased to accept it with its noble motto: The ottering of one, the tribute of many,' and mayjit serve as a faithful reminder of its fair donors." Davis accepted the gift in a brief reply. He al luded to the kindness of the southern people dur ing his prison lite, especially the kindness, con stancy and patriotism of the peopleof Norfolk, and said he had often received tokens of their esteem. He requested Mr. Garmage to extend to the ladtes of the Catholic Church his grateful acknowledg ment for their git t, and intimated that, with the permission of the ladies, he would acknowledge Its reception by letter. The gentlemen of the party passed a pleasant hour in conversation with Davis and his lady, and at its end expressed the hope that the new year might be more fall of hope and happiness to him tban the dark, dismal hours of the past. The party were well pleased with their trip, and said tbat, Davis' health Is much better than represented, but tbat bis hair was well sprinkled with gray. The steamship Albemarle, from New York, which left Norfolk for Richmond with a lurge cargo of merchandise on Sunday night, succeeded only in getting to City Point on account of the tee. The steamers Hatteras and Georgluua are also blocked in at Richmond, and will be nnable to re turn to Norfolk, from the present condition of the river, for several days. The brig W. H. B.gelow. Oapt.
