On motion of Mr. SUMNER, the Sen ate took up the bill relative to tele graphic communication between the United States and foreign countries. Mr. Sumner said, since the bill bad been re ported in February last, a cable had been landed on our shore from France, and this rendered a modification of the bill necessary. He proposed an amendment to make the language of the bill applies blenot only to future but ealepog cable& Mr. THURMAN suggested a legal question had been broached. as to the right of a State to permit the landing of a cabin without permission of the general Government. He therefore moved to refer It to the Committee on Judiciary. Mr. SUMNER said the question refer red to by the Senator from Ohlo, that of States rights, was an old customer in the Senate, but the authority of the General Government ICI thin matter was ample in the constitutional direction to Con grdes to regulate commerce with foreign Mdions. Mr. CONKLIN wed the amendment wail retroactive by a provision 'making the bUI universal In lie character, and thereby thine new condition ware be posed in discriminately noon cables already authorized by Owigrems. Mr. SUMNER. said the provision had been made to protect special prlveleges guaranteed nuclei acta of Congress to certain cablee, and that the opinion of the Jridiciary Commlttephad been given that Conineea might, with prosperity, pan a code of restrictions which would be applicable generally to all cables between the United States and foreign countries. Mr. THETRMAbi, referring to a remark by Mr. Sumner, that his own remarks were for the purpose of reviving the theory of States tights, did not tits. demisted the limit which that Senator would impose on others. In considering legal questions in the Senate, that Nana tor Bombed to wee in his own auggeetions the apparition of States rights, which. apparently, always excited in his mind aomething of alarm. So earnestly had the Senator from Massachusetts been engaged in putting down eomw of the erroneous doctrines of States rights, that WS habit of mmd made it imposaable for him to believe that a State bad any rights et all. ' Upon any theory of the constitu tion States had some rights, and the speaker believed they could still be re. flirted to I. the Senate. He bad not denied the exercise of the National au charity ander the pending bill, but had simply asked it should receive the con. elderstion which it deserved. He insist ed upon hie constettalonal privilege te sty this much, with Out improper den of bis toottrei. The morning bop; having expired the Senate took up the bill to perfect the re construction of Georgia. Mr. SAULSBURY - delivered an argu ment to Illtudration of the inconsistency of Congressional legislation relative to unrecionstrucisd States, which he claimed was prompted from partisan motives, and is violatMn of the Constim lion. The lellowing additional bills were in trodueed during Mei:morning : Mr. RAMECEY Introduced a bill to abolish the franking privilege, and to provide postage stamps and stamped en. =s forthe payment of postage on ease and other public =1 matters to the Committee on Postoffices.

Mr. EDMUNDS asked why tho Senat tor from Indiana did not move to insert In the bill a clause directing the military commander In Georgia to declare the amendment adopted, without the form ality of s vote on the subject, Mr. MORTON asked why did not the Senator think of that when he voted to impownhe Fourteenth Amendment?

Mr. CARPENTER mild heagreed with Mr. Morton on the merits of the propos: ed amendment, and that all the mem ber. of the Judiciary Committee agreed in desiring the ratification of the M. teenth Amendment by Georgia. But the question remained, whether it was poli cy for the Senate to embody that enact ment In this hill.

Mr. CASSE.H.L'i maid that four years of government by the bayonent in the South bad demonstrated the futility of the reconstruction policy of Qmgress, and that violence and diaorder were its legitimate result.
