The military power of the Qovernment, the war ta&feing pJ*?er, is reserved to Congress alone, by the.

Hon. Jerejwaj^ S. Bl«c.i? expressed his surprise that tfee motion had' been made to dismiss this case and the Court had already set a time to hear the argument on the subject. On a former occasion the counsei fpr the United States wero oppo sed to pd^sidering the case at all. The editorial-articles which had been read were calculated to make the friends of Gen. Ord feel indignant, but it was his privato opinion that epithets against that officer arq not deserved. If it be true as asserted'by the' other side, that jeither this Court or the Circuit Court or Missis* sippi has an^ jurisdiotLon.over this subject, then the American people are in the precise conditioh the French people were in during theJ£on,archy, wh,en any man could be put In prison and kept there until he died pr was forgotten.

Mr-- Sherman deemed it was not a just expression^ the poople oft.Ohio. Mr. Sumner claimed it was of no effect, that the State eould not withdraw an approval, ofcee given. The matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

The Bill'supplcmentary to the tenure of office bill was taken up. T%e qu^Btipu was~on Sumner's amendr ment, that the bill shall not do away with foreign agents ot tho State Department.

Mr. Patterson moved W amendment, that such agents shall not exceed five in number. Sumner, Anthony, Grimes, Connees and Oatileron approved such restriction oa the Dart pf Congress

tor Thomas. Tho SupploinenlKjy ^Reconstruction bill was taken up. How spoke in favor.

Mr. Howe said he should address himself chiefly to the manifesto of his col* league, Mr. vDoolittbe. The. Opening of that gentleman's remarks was startling. He said he saw in this supplementary bill the overthrow of the Republican government in ten of the Southern- States, and many other alarming tbing6, but he reminded hini very much of the Irish member, Sir Doyle Roche, who said in Parliaoaen,fc:: "Mr. Speaker, :I smell ajat, I seo him floating in the air, but I shall nip him in the bud." [Laughter.] There w&s about-as much need for derfous ular^n in the tentences of the Senator, but the people were qnite competent' to place the proper estimate on the language he used.

After alluding to Mr. Doolittie's change of course in politics, he wanted to where was his colleague's commission for standing here ia the .Senate the oham pion bf the Caucassian race. He denies the disloyalty of the white race in the South, and savs they were dragooned into the rebellion py a radical minority, and tho Caucassian White majority were overcome by their leaders: then ho turns round and accuses the black meh "of being rebels.

He recounts tee losses and sufferings of whites, and then quotes en historical exatnplrin the caM of the Roman Province Latinum, which rebelled, but was treated by the Emperor Camiliius, with magnanimity after being conquered, and its people were not compelled to submit to the control of their slaves. He now contended no Emperor of Rome treated rebels with as much kindness and magnanimity as the United States Government treated Southern traitors, but it was s^id the Republican partyjwanted to strengthen themselves by enfranchising blacks and disfranchising whites yet what was to prevent that patty from asking theso whites, rebels, to .comointo the organisation The Democrats had nothing to offer them, tbey were poorer than the rebels themselves but &o such motive impelled

States was a paramount consideration in •dfceting loyal blacks upon wbdm vto-con-fer the right of suffrage we came to the conclusion that black men should .hayp a voie#tr^laie in the local government of the South, and we an determined in the interests of the very integrity of the Republic, that such consummation shall be effected.- &

Mr. Howe went on at length to show the power invested in the Supreme Government to appoint Provisional Governments for the Southern States, and to rePohitruct them in accordance with "the Constitutiph, by guaranteeing to each a Republioan form. Howe in conclusion said all on the.other aide of the chamber had olosed their harangues with terrible threats,, and prophesies of disaster to the Republicanjparty in the coming autumn. He did not fear them, but were tbey so the contest should hot then be ended. He said no man could conscientiously go in his closet and pray to his creator lor other objects in this struggle than those for which the Republican party will vole, and closed by eulogizing its efforts hitherto, charging, the Democratic party with the entire "responsibility for the war, and by predicting success and triumph and vindication pf the Congressional policy.

Mr. ^erry obtained the—floor on the bill, but on motion ,of Mr. Hariau, further consideration was postponed till Monday,' and the Senate took up the bill to provide for the formation of corporations and regulating -.the same in the. District of Columbia, which was discus sed by Johnson, Harlan, Willfey and Cockling, the latter condemning, as granting, uit^reeeden'tad licensed

The resolution was ordered to bo printed and referred to the Judiciary Committee! He said it was doubtful whether the persons called on for such papers had the right to retulrp them to the Governor pf Ohio. ,He also desired to say that the Legislature of Ohio In passing such joint resolution, had gone against the wishes of the people of that State. That there had been re:ently an election in one of the Congressional districts where that iniquity had been preatnted before the people, and that the res suit bf thb election Was partly owing to the action of the Legislature.
