The hopes excited by Ul0 action of the Senate pa the Reconstruction hill were on Tuesday luinmarily destroyed. The House has refused lo concur In the Sherman amendments, and pince the Senate will not recede from its posi tion in regard to them, the probabilities point to their failure and abandonment. With them will end the last chance of accomplishing any thing during the present session. For this result the country is indebted to an alliance between tho Democrats and the ex treme radicals. A large majority of the Re publican members voted for the acceptance of the Senate amendments, while of the majority who rejected them, forty-two are Democrats. The Republican vote wtands seventy-two for the amendments and fifty-five against them a proof that the majority of the party are favorable to early and effective reconstruction, and that the Democrats must divide with tho more violent radicals the responsibility o prolonging tho exclusion of the Southern States. The speeches of Messrs. lknitwell and Ste vens prove incontestably tha they are averse to any measure for the early reorganization of the Southern States. They adhere to the Military bill as it passed the House, which makes no provision lor reconstruction, ana establishes martial law for an indefinite period. It is as Mr. Stevens describes it a police bill; but a police bill that overthrows civil autho rity, and places the liberty, property, and even the lives of tho Southern people at the mercy of soldiers. It destroys existing State organi sations, without attempting to build others in thoir place. It makes a Brigadier-funeral the Bole and virtually irresponsible judge of right and law. And all this without limitation as to time. Beyond reestablishing a military des potism, it does nothing, proposes nothing. And by refusing to concur in its amendment, Messrs. Stevens & Co. confess their aversion to imme diate reconstruction in any form. Mr. Stevens, Indeed, does not pretend to desire the return of the Southern people on any terms. "I am not very anxious, " he said on Monday, "to Bee their votes cast along with others to con trol tho election of the President and Vice rresident of tho United States.'. That's it, exactly. He would rather keep the South out of the Union than reconstruct the Union on tho most loyal basis. His eye is fixed upon the next Presidential election, and he will tolerate no measure that is intended or calcu lated to give the South a voice in the contest. His object is to prevent reconstruction, not to hasten it; and his Military bill does this to a nicety. Mr. Boutwell is not quite so outspoken. He disguises his aversion to Senator Sherman's amendments under the plea that they would restore the Rebels to power. His objection to the amended bill, he declares, "is fundamental. It provides, if not in terms, by the measures it proposes, for the restoration of those (the Southern) Governments at once, through the agency of disloyal men." Tho same pretense runs through his speech. He will not listen to the Blaine-Sherman amendment, because it Is favorable to the Rebels, and will restore the Rebel leaders to power. It is difficult to believe that Mr. Boutwell means what he says. A measure embodying all the guarantees of the Constitutional amendment which eighteen loyal States have already ratified as an adequate basis of reconstruction, is, forsooth, in Mr. Boutwell's opinion, favorable to "dis loyal men !" A measure which adds to tho Constitutional amendment the guarantee of universal negro suffrage is, in Mr. Boutwell's judgment, certain to lead to tho reorganiza tion of Rebol Governments 1 Tho absurdity of the allegations renders their serious refutation unnecessary. They may serve in some quar ters to conceal the motives of the extreme, disorganizing policy, but the great majority of the Republican party will see in them a very poor excuse for postponing reconstruction, with an exclusive view to partisan advan tage. The truth is that time is necessary for tho development of the revolutionary policy. Mar tial law is only the initial step, preliminary to tno unioidnig 01 Air. fetevens other proposi tions. Establish the supremacy of the soldier throughout the South deprive the citizen of the protection of the habeas corpus accustom courts and people to the iron heel of military power and tho rest will come in due order. Mr. Stevens has reminded us that he clings to tho idea of compensating loyalists for losses by tho confiscation of Rebels' property. Con fiscation will be an easy process when judges and . juries shall have been superseded by brigadiers. Mr. Boutwell protests that there fcliall be none but military Governments at the Kouth until nearly the entire white population are disfranchised. The military scheme, then, is a means to ail end, but an end which Con--gress has not yet been asked to sanction. And, meanwhile, if these gentlemen have thoir way, there will be no attempt at reconstruction. The South must have martial law, and nothing else. Tho Sherman bill would use tho soldier merely as a iieace officer, nendinir the comnle- tion of reconstruction, and therefore it must be killed. This state of affairs had lieen impossible without Democratic assistance. Tuesday's division has proved that, left to themselves, tho Stevens section of the Republican party would bo unable to frustrate wiser counsels. The Democrats rushed to the rescue, and thus, in effect, made themselves responsible for the non-amendment of Stevens' odious measure. They held the balance of power, and they em ployed it in favor of Mr. Stevens and against the South. To men capable of rising above the dirt and degradation of party, the oppor tunity would have been a great one. ' As the question came up, it was a choice between martial law for the South, with confiscation and disfranchisement in the distance, and military government as the prelude to recon struction. The alternative was, to accept amendments conceived in the interest of peace and humanity, of the South and the Union, or by, rejecting these amendments to perpetuate tho exclusion of tho Southern States, aud subject them to the caprice and cruelty of martial law. And these Demo cratic "friends of the South" cast their lot with its persecutors ami most malignant ene mies, defeating a compromise which, without their interference, would have triumphed, and exposing the Southern people to penalties and Bufferings from which the Sherman bill would liave relieved them. This proceeding on the part of the Democrats will hardly excite sur prise. But it will be remembered as evidence of their participation in the disunion and de structive policy they pretend to condemn, and of their responsibility for many of the misfor tunes that are in store for the South. According to present appearancos, the session will teiminato without the adoption of any general measure of reconstruction. Tho Con gress whoso duty it was to dispose of th ques tion by the enactment of some comprehensive H heme, will expire, leaving tho quoition not only unsettled, but more complicated and dan gerous than over. Tho contest that has ex tended through two sessions will pass to the Fortieth Congress, clogged with the bad blood which its continuance has occasioned, and affording no immediate hope of a reconstructed Union. Th Tariff In Cong rn. From the Tribune. We do not know that tho Tariff bill now pending in Congress will be signod if passed; and we are well aware that tho rrosidont has power to defeat It by simply holding It to the close of the session. We feel that this should not, need not have boon. The friends of pro tection are strong enough in either Houso to have passed tho bill in ample season to guard against so deplorable a contingency, and ought to have dono it. Frecious hours have been culpably trifled away that should have been employed to pass this bill weeks ago. If it shall now fail for want of time, the responsi bility will be a grave one. Our adversaries point to certain opponents of this measure who used to rally under tho banner of Henry Clay, and claim that protec tion 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 decidedly protective tariff and claim that we have gained at least two to their one. Tho line of argument on either side has scarcely varied since 1828 and 1542. Tho tariffs of those years wero denounced as de structive to commerce and revenue, and insti gated by manufacturing monopoly and greod. Experience proved our foreign commerce quite as prosperous under those as under non protective tariffs, while our revenue from im ports was largely, undeniably incroasod by them. Manufacturing monopoly, so far as it might be said to exist, was diminished, if not abolished, by the great increase and diffusion of iron-making, cloth-making, eto. etc., under those tariffs. And in no other periods of our national history was our labor more generally employed or more fully rewarded than under the operation of those tariffs. Our appeal is from specious theories to unmistakable facts. Repeatedly, in our country's history, has Congress been entreated to adopt or invigo rate a p! otoctivo policy because labor stood unwillingly idle, enterprise was paralyzed, and trade bankrupt. If the prayer was granted, sensible and general relief speedily followed. But no statesman ever had the hardihood to urge an abandonment of the protective policy because lalor lacked employment and busi ness was stagnant. To have pretended that would have invoked general ridicule. -As a general rule, we have abandoned free trade because we could stand it no longer, and pro tection because we were tired of prosperity. We have twice been cheated out of protec tion never once fairly voted down. General Jackson, when chosen President, was plausibly claimed as ji protectionist. Pennsylvania gave him fifty thousand majority on that ground. And Polk carried her against Clay in 1844 by writing the Kane letter, and being commended on the strength of it as a better protectionist than the great Kentuckian. Francis W. Hughes in that contest held a public debate with William B. Reed expressly to uphold this assumption. Dallas was placed on the ticket with Polk, to assure Pennsylvania that the tariff of '42 would bo maintained ; yet the Democratic Congress elected with them re pealed that tariff by the casting vote of that identical Dallas Polk, of course, approving and signing the bill ! We hope a time is at hand when this tariff question can lie argued to our whole people, and the mean attempts to excite sectional jea lousy and hate scouted as they deserve. The States that have the greatest interest in pro tection are those whose mines are yet un opened, their factories and furnaces yet to be built. Give us adequate protection now, and New England will soon le ready to talk as old England now does; but Alabama and Missouri may need protection for half a century. The current arguments against a tariff prove it a monstrous wrong that New York should have constructed the Erie Canal, and thus made this city the emporium of tho New World, ultimately of the whole world. For 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 ditch" was contrived to enrich other men at their expense; and they plausibly insisted that ditching unless for sanitary pur- por.es was not a lunction ot government. Had they been heeded. New York would have been a second Boston, while Baltimore or Nor folk would have been the metropolis of tho estern hemisphere. Tiny; and again lmve we asked our Western Republicans who used to bo Whigs, "How do you propose to stop the current flow of our national securities to Europe at tho rate of two hundred millions per annum? You insist on an inflated, depreciated currency, which stimulates excessive importations; you will not check these by a higher tariff; what will you do?" They retort that a high tariff will not subserve the end winch is exactly like saying that a mill-dam will not obstruct tho flow of water. But we had not asked them to criticize our specific, but to set forth their own; so their retort is no answer, but a virtual confession. It is tho barrister's brief from his defenseles defendant "Abuse the plaintiff's attorney." We have deeply regretted tho wranglings touching details among the friends of the tariff. We entreat the friends of protection in Congress to disregard these and pass the bill in some shape before tho close of the week. We have quite hostility enough to encounter without warriiiL' upon each other. We can endure a vote against us from ono who should be for us; but woe to that Representative of a protective constituency who shall fail to re spond when called to vote on the tariff bill. Mr. F. W. Sewtrd'i West India Mlsalon- Another Diplomatic lUil.. From the Herald. Tho present Administration is, it must bo admitted, rather unfortunate, in its foreign missions. If their object does not happen to bo Quixotic, tho conduct of those intrusted with them not unfrennently renders them so Thus the Mexican mission which was a very well-meant thing in its way assumed quite f comic aspect from the adventures of the 'dis tinguished soldier and accomplished diplomat employed to hunt up Juarez. We question if the mishaps of the Spanish knight-errant and his faithful Sancho Panza would not be thrown into the shade ly them, if they were fully nar rated. But even still droller are the incidents that befel the Assistant Secretary of State on Ids recent "secret" mission to the West Indies. Before the expedition got fairly uudeijway two or three steamers were disabled In the effort. Every one wondered at this unusual amount of bad luck, and in tho absence of any expla nation set it down to that favorite source of disaster, tho unpropitiousness of tho weather. It now turns out that it was due to the heavi ness of the freight on Iward, the same consist ing of a largo amount of Government specie. But tho misfortunes arising from it were not destined to end there. When the Gettysburg got to Port Royal, Jamaica, the sailors, who area superstitious class, discovered the source of their ovil fortune, and, in order to dispel it, broke open the specie chest and got rid of as much of the contents as they could handle. Mr. Seward offered the munificent re ward of one hundred dollars for tho recovery of tho money, which, wo regret to say, did not turn up in any very largo quantities under tho influence of such a liberal inducement. Finally, after coaling, the Gettysburg pro ceeded to her destination, which, contrary to all the speculations that had leon indulged in, proved to be the island of St. Domingo. There our two diplomats, Mr. Seward and Admiral Porter, were received in great stato by the President, General Jose Maria Cabral. On opening the negotiations it turned out that instead of their being instructed to purchase a coaling station at the island, as Cabral expected, they came to buy the republic itself. At this information tho St. Domingo President put on a long face, and asked them if they really expected him to sell his country. "Cer tainly," replied Porter, who is a bit of a wag, "and you ought to bo devilish glad to have a country to sell, On hearing this axiom of political morality Cabral's face briglitened, and lie came at once to tho point. He was willing to make over tho island to tho United States if they would pay down tho hard cash for it. He had the liabilities duo to France and Spain to settle, besides some little matters of his own, and he must have the amount before they left. This was a poser to our diplomats. The sum named was considerably in excess of that left them after the depletion of thoir fqecio chest by tho sailors, and as Cabral was firm, they had to quit tho island without effecting their object. Tho moral of all this is that when our Government Bonds out foreign missions it should select for them men who are not likely to leave behind them either their wits or their money-bags. Theso are not usually considered American failings. The Slicrman BUI In Congress on Tuesday. From the World. The proceedings in Congress on Tuesday are engrossing the attention of tho country. The House, by a vote of 73 to 97, rejected the Sherman bill for prolonging disunion till after ) the next Presidential election, under the guise of reconstruction, and asked a Committee of Conference. The majority which defeated tho bill was composed of all the opposition mem bers save one, and fifty-seven radicals who joined them because the bill, bad as it was, was not bad enough to suit their torch-and-turpontine purposes. Tho Senate, on receiv ing the rejected bill, discussed the question of a Committee of Conference, and finally voted to refuse such a Committee and to insist. On Tuesday evening the bill again came up in the House, and it was the endeavor of Wilson, of Iowa, and other Republicans, by amendments, to make the bill bad enough to suit tho most radical taste, whereupon the Democrats pro ceeded to parliamentary tactics to stave off a vote until, by the operation of the ten-days' rule, the refusal of the President's signature without a veto shall suffieo to defeat it. In this they were successful. At half-past 11 o'clock the House adjourned, Mr. Wilson's motion not having been acted upon. Some Republican journals are blaming the Democrats in the House for the course which they have wisely adopted and manfully ad hered to, of resorting to every parliamentary expedient that can possibly defeat the passage of this bill. In the first place, it is a sufficient reply, in a partisan sense, to all theso imputations to say that the Republicans in Congress have an overwhelming majority a majority sufficient to override the President's veto. Upon them solely rests the responsibility, therefore, for everything that is done and everything that is not dono by the Thirty -ninth Congress. in the next place, m a patriotic sense, it is not possible for any Democrat who loves his country, who desires tho present disunion to be ended, or who regards his oath of fidelity to the Constitution, to vote, for tho Sherman bill. It establishes martial law over tho wholo South, in the absence of invasion or rebellion to justify the same, and on the assumption ana pretense of a rebellion still existing when none exists, and when the Rebellion which did Wxist has been declared ended by Executive proclamation, in accordance with the act of congress authorizing such declarations to bo made. It prolongs disunion, and, in place of the republican self-government alone kno wn u uie Lonstitutiou, it establishes a military despotism. It involves the adoption of the radical Constitutional amendment by Southern States which have already refused to adopt it, and, therefore, before those States can be restorod to their law-making functions, it prescribes that they shall faithlessly surrender their superior Constitution-amending function, and accept, as the supremo law for a majority of thirty millions of people, tho will and passions of a minority of them. It therefore admits to tho basis of Congressional representation at the North millions of non-voters. It therefore enacts a representation basis which is neither total population nor' voting population, but an arttul swindling basis, which cheats the South, where there are negroes, and the East, whore the proportion of women to men is larger than at the West, of representatives to the national assembly. It i a bill of abominations, and any Democrat who should vote for it, or who should fail to expend all his strength in tho etlort to defeat it, would lw faithless aliko to his principles and his oath. l'he 2W is one journal which has under taken to lecture Democrats for not assisting Uie radicals to prolong the present disunion t ill after the next Presidential election, ami the J lines Is another. To both journals we com- inena tno truths uttered by tho Times itself i.isx iaii, concerning the constitutional amend ment, which neither Mr. Raymond nor any other Republican member has, in the present debate, proposed to strike out of the sixth section oi tno Sherman bill: !m,.. , lnlle u- must e held rosponsf- uio iui me consequences of 1U own actlou. And we must also assume that the radical maWtrlty resolved upon their action with a full kuow ledseof its effect.

Will CougrcHs re cede from Its position, content itself with the Constitution as it Is, and recognize the right of the South to representation?

For that the South will notriitily the amendment la certain, Kqually certain Is it that a permanent denial ol representation to ten Stale Is Incompatible with the existence of the Republic? How shall the difficulty be eventually overcome? By adopting the suggestions of Brownlow and But ler, renewing war, devastating the South afresh, and annihilating its white neople, as prelimi naries to the admission of negro representa tives? Or by recognizing, In the etid. the right which should be unconditionally recognized now? ThlsoRpcct of the question the radicals dis ingenuously evade. But come it will sooner or later, In u form that will not admit or delay; and then how will their policy stand the trial ? President Johnson, by simply withholding his signature from the Sherman bill, can now strangle this last radical abortion. His honor, his character, his principles, Ids pride, and his oath, are the pledges that he will faithfully perform that duty to his fellow-countrymen, North and South.
