The action of the House of Representa tives, in passing the Suffrage Bill for the District of Columbia furnishes matter for congratulation in two particulars 1. The bill is clearly right iu itself, l'e pretend to give the blacks liberty, and yet deny them the ballot, is simply to render the boon comparatively valueless, because of little effect. It is impossible for the blacks to maintain their rights unless they have the ballot in their hands. The ballot will not so much enable them to govern others, as it will arm theni with a potent instrument for self protection. All through the wai lite blacks of the District evinced a loyalty far superior to that r.\JY sled by their white neighbors N ut . . - ught s rvioe in the Confed tr.te srv.. * while at least score of them e..tt u-d the Union army lor each individual among the white inhabitants of tiff' dis trict. If the Conservatives insist on qualified suffrage ; that is suffrage based ou a given degree of education of property, and this, not for one race, but for all races ; let them bring forward their scheme. It may have points that will commend it to acceptance, j 2. A distinct assertion by Congress, in ; this form, of its function, as the law-making | power of the nation, was greatly needed, j It had become so common, in conservative j circles, to speak of Congress, not in distinct terms, but by implication, as a surplussage | in the government, so far especially, as re- ; hited to tlie work of reconstruction, that a j marked and sharp exercise of its authority was demanded. 'Lite country rejo'ce that Congress has not consented to sink into the insignificant position of a facile registrar of j pre-arranged decrees. THE FREEDMEN'S BI REAI .

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 24. 1866. Tlit- bill conferring upon the negroes of tlie Dis trict of Columbia the right of suffrage upon equal terms with the whites, passed the House of Rep resentatives on the IStli instant, as originally in trodnced by Judge Kelly of Pa., Yens. 116 : Nays, k 54. and is now pending i.i the Senate. From pres ent indications there seems to lie a disposition to modify the bill in the Senate, and there may vet be a slight disagreement between the two Houses, but there is no doubt of the ultimate sueeess of the ! main features of the bill, and if necessary by a 1 two-thirds vote. Mr. Stevens, of I'a., from the Joint Select Com mittee on Reconstruction, introduced ou the 22d instant, the following "Joint Resolution, propos ing to amend the Constitution of the United ! States Resolved by the **ne effective for this purpose if passed, and the Democrats at e of course, a unit against it. After two days discuss ion, there seems to be little prospect of an agree ment in favor of this proposition, by a majority, and the House have adjourned this evening in as much of a "tangle as yesterday. * The policy of granting the Secretary ol' the Treasury power to issue an additional circulation for the National Banks, is favored by prominent members of Congress, and no doubt it will be done during the present session. The early date fixed by the Central Committee of Penn'a., for holding the Republican State Nom inating Convention, is attracting much attention to the contest for the nomination for Governor. Here, Gup. -Tames K. Moorhoad of the Pittsburg District, is looked upon as the coming man for that nomination. Right upon all questions of na tional polities, and an earnest and zealous advo cate of his convictions, he enjoys the fullest confi dence of his party. While the country was men aced by a rebel foe. he remained most of the time in Washington, and by his unremitting labor, and the bountiful contribution of his money, aided in i\> rv way in his power, to strong the t our armies it: the fit Id, and alleviate thi sufferings of our sick and wounded soldiers, and 1 >r this, I have heard from the lips of many a IYnu'a. soldier the strong est expressions of gratitude for his attention in time of ma (t. Possessing eminent executive abil ity. and a character for strict integrity, ami having a thorough knowledge of the financial and busi ness interests of liis State, tested by the light ol' personal success. General Moorhend combines every qualification requisite to make him all accep table and po mlar Governor. His own County. Al legheny. one of the richest in Penu'a., in her min eral resources, has already spoken in his fin or. A delegation of eminent Pennsylvania Republi cans hold a cordial int. 1 view with President John son upon the subject of reconstruction, last even ing. and came away deeply impressed with the po litical, as well as moral integrity of the Pic sid.-nt. Assurances of the kindest mutual regard in relation to political affairs passed between them, and the 1 President impressed them with the belief, that there would be no serious disagreement between himself and the Republican party in lt f. renee to tin policy of reconstruction. Very respectfully Yours, CUMI-I PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS WASHIM TON. Wednesday. JAN. fit. ISM. hi tin- Senate, Wedciisiluy, Mr. Tiu unn.i. reported without amendment the bill in relation to the Court of Claims.

A resolution was adopted instructing the Judiciary Commit tee to inquire what legislation may be necci ssary for the protection of loyal citi zeus whose property had been confiseati d by the Confederate authorities. The bill I to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Butetiu was then takt n up and tit bated at sonic length. Several amendments were offered, among them one to strike out t bi section confirming grants given by (Jen. SHERMAN to Sea Island lands for three YEA , s. ; This was lost by a vote ot 10 to 32. The Senate adjourned at ft o'clock, with the j understanding that a vote should be taken ; on the bill at 3 o'clock Thursday.

Mr. LAAVRESIJ: of Ohio, moved an amendment, to apportion direct taxes among the States according to the property irt each, and apportion repre sentatives among the States on the basis of adult male voters who shall la- eitiz' i s of the United States. Amendments to this amendment were offered by Mr. EI.TOT, OF ; Massachusetts, and Mr. SCHEXCK, of Ohio.

Fending the consid eration of the bill the morning hour expin d. and the bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau was taken up and dis cussed. Mr. DAVIS spoke against it. Af ter some time time spent in debate, Mr ; SAUI.SRC-RV demanded the years and nays on ' the passage of the biil, and they were or dered, with this result : Yeas, 37 : nays, 10. So the bi 1 was passed. An amend ment offered Mr. DAVIS was decided out of order. A full analysis of the bill will he found in our Congressional report. Mr. TRUMBULI. moved to take up the bill to pro tect all persons m the enjoyment of their civil rights. The Senate then went into Executive session, and soon after adiouni ! ed. In the House a resolution was adopted to print twenty-five thousand copies of the reports of Gen. GRANT and SCHCRZ, for the use of the House. A resolution was adopt ed requesting information irom the Com missioner of Agriculture in regard to the expenses and profits of that bureau.

Harding, Wasli btirne, Kelli v. MeKee, Grider, Kerr, Kas hen and l\'riglit. The House adjourned till to-day. THE EAILEOAD SQUABBLE The prt.liminary symptoms of an interest ing railroad conflict have lately caused so much discussion in public and private, that we make no excuse lbr adverting to the sub ject, especially as ii involves interests of unusual magnitude, and must for months to come eclipse even the reconstruction issue in this section of country. The Atlantic & Great Western Railroad Company, by the purchase of some railroad charters and by leases and treaties with other rail way com panies, has required the right to open a line of road through the whole extent of this State from the Delaware river to Ohio.— Against the oomph turn of this a great hub bub has been raised, and the courts and the legislature are invoked to arrest the move ment. On the one hand it is contended that tlie St- te Government is interested in pre venting the eonsiiniatiori of tli'* project, as the Coinmonwealtli holds ten millions ol dollars of Pennsylvania Railroad bonds, is sued in payment for the canals, etc.; and that Philadelphia is interested, as she owns five millions of dollars of the stock of the company. On the other hand it is urged that it is detrimental to the interests of the State to allow one gigantic corporation to override till others in the Commonwealth, and prevent the construction of works which would develop the resources of regions now neglected ; and that Philadelphia will be benefited by the new line under the treaty made between the Atlantic and Great West ern and the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road Companies, the freight arrangements being much more favorable to her than those now in force on the Pennsylvania Railroad. On the surface of things the Pt nnsylva uia Railroad, built, equipped and owned by Philaih Iphia, would seem to be entitled lo her support and sympathy, notwithstanding any arrangements apparently favorable to Philadelphia liiuile by corpoi at i. lis whose main purpose is to bear !■ ; ute to New- York. We do not disguise from ourselves that such is really the character of the At lantic and Great Western Railroad Com pany Yet when we know, us we all do, that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is not now managed in th" interest of Phila delphia, as it should lie, that, in lact, it is governed by an absorbing .competition for the through trade between New York and the West, the argument against the main line loses much of its force. Hitherto the press and public men of the city hav* kept silence on the subject, and the impunity thus allowed to the derelict corporation has bet n very much abused, so that there is scarcely a decent show of respect for the interests of the great city whose municipal authorities put. the breath of life into the Pennsylvania Railroad by their prompt and noble subscription of five millions of dol lars. Colleetor Thomas, a fearless man, boldly .old the whole truth on this ugly subject in Ids recent speech at the steam ship meeting in the Board of Trade rooms, and it is rather discreditable to Philadel phia, in view of the facts of the ease, that lie is the first of our public men to do so. For our own uarl, we have ever been pre judiced in favor of the company, and r. - grot, more than we can express, the neces sity which compels us reluctantly to say thus much. But we perceive a studied at tempt to manufacture n spurious public opinion in favor of the company, and we are therefore induced to speak out. Do we, therefore, think that we should set our faces against he Pennsylvaiia Rail road Gompany generally? No! by no means. Let the directors of the company change their policy and do as much for Philadelphia as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad t'ompuny has done and is doing lbr Baltimore, and it shall have our heartiest support. Pr ictically the company has aban doned the interests of the city for those of New-York, and the city nc ii .-hull form no connect ion unless with us." As to whether the legis at uro shall lend itself to this sort of j policy, it is now a nttter of no consequence since the decision of th- Supreme Court in the Pittsburgh ami Connellsville Railroa ! case effectually disarms that niischi-' '■ • hndv of the dangerous weapons it has been handling so recklessly. We believe i J i> to tli* public interests tjiaf there should be fair play all around the board : and in thi.-> view only we hope that fair play will pre vail.—Qermnotovm T<'tc sl ITs OF Aid, , I.K-.
