ON Tuesday evening, in the City Council, the votes of Me-si:s. FOKKEST, ALSH and O'COSNKI.L,aided by the casting vote of the Mayor, cut off Capt. S. II, Por'iT.it from a right that shoul.l not be denied io any ci:i/.en—that of being briefly heard upon hi pe'ition for icdrcs of grievances. This action was unjust, unkind and not in accordance with time honored usage. The Council cannot.sustain itself in the establishment ofsuch a precedent, and the best thing it can do is lo put itsell right by promptly reconsidering the vote that denied Capt. POTTEU a hearing. In the hope that thi-' will be done, we refrain from further comment at present.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. S.

Bills were introduced and referred by Paine, granting lands to the State of Wisconsin in aid of a Railroad from Milwaukee to Lake Superior, ria Green Bav, Wisconsin.

By Clark, of Kansas, explanatory of the act of March 2d, 1867, for relief of inhabitants of cities and towns on public lands.

By Mr. Townsend, to reduce internal taxes, providing that no duty shall be imposed on any succession which was vested in possession,or expectancy, prior to the passage of the Internal Revenue bill of July 10th, 1866 bat no reclamation to be allowed when any such duty had been already paid.

Resolutions were offered and adopted as follows: Bv Mr. Ferry, to provide a public building for post office and U. S. Courts at Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Mr. Orth gave notice that the Committee on Foreign Affairs would next Tuesday call the attention of the House to the report on Paraguayan affairs, for final consideration.

Mr. Stevenson presented a memorial of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce against construction of the Newport and Cincinnat bridge on the present plan, as obstructing navigation of the Ohio river, and praying for early action to require a modification of the plan.

On motion of Mr. Porter the House agreed, 94 to 92, to adjourn over from today until Monday.

On motion of Mr. Schenck the tariff bill and internal revenue bills of last ses sion, were taken from the calendar oi the Committee of the Whole, and recommitted to the Committee of Ways and Means.

Mr. Negley introduced a bill, granting land now occupied by the Allegheny Arsenal, to the city of Pittsburg, for the purposes of a park.

The House then resumed consideration of tho bill to revise and consolidate postal laws. The pending question being an amendment offered by Mr. Farnsworth :-t before adjournment yesterday, for the tolition of the franking privilege.

Mr. Potter advocated the amendment as one which would not stop existing abuses of the franking privilege without preventing publication of official documents.

Mr. VanWyck opposed the amendment as retaining the privilege in the most ob jectionable feature. The publication of documents was of no general interest, encumbering the mails with them and taking from the treasury $66*000 each session, to be paid to the members for their own private correspondence.

Mr. Mavnard opposed the abolition of the franking privilege. Mr.Farnsworth advocated and explained the amendment. He said the stamps for Senators and members would not go into their possession, but would remain in the custody of the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House, who would be responsible for their proper use. Its effect would be to prevent abuse of the franking privilege, which was mainly through counterfeiting members' autographs. The stamps could be used nowhere else than Washington, and there would be no opporrtunity for counterfeiting. He believed it useless to enact a simple abolition of the flanking privilege, for it would not be agreed to by the Senate, and the question would be, at the close of the session, in the same condition as it now is.

Mr. Dawes opposed the amendment as preserving all tnat Was odious and liable to abuse in the franking privilege as iw exists.

Mr. Ilall opposed the amendment and insisted on the pure and simple abolition of the franking privilege.

Mr. Coburn, sustained the amendment, except that section of it allowing Senators and members one hundred dollars each for their own corerspondence.

Mr. Wood opposed the amendment, which was simply a mod# of transferring a power of abuse from members to the Executive Department.

Mr. Garfield favored the amendment as having the advantage of putting into a definite and known quantity, certain items of public expense.

Mr. Ferry moved to strike out the^section allowing Senators and members$100 for their correspondence.

Thfi debate was closed by the previous question and the House proceeded to vote.

Mr. Ferry's amendment to strike out the $100 section was agreed to. Mr. Van Wyck moved to strike out all after the first section rejected.

The question was then taken on Mr. Farnsworth's amendment, as amended, and it was rejected, yeas 70, nays 102.^

Mr. Hill moved te strike out all sections of the bill relating to the franking privilege, being equivalent to its abolition. The motion was agreed to, yeas 97, nays '9* ...

Mr. Hill moved an additional section declaring no person should hereafter exercise the franking privilege.

Mr. Welker moved an amendment allowing free interchange of newspapers and magazines, and circulation of weekly papers within their county where published.

Mr. Butler,,of Ma3s., gave notice that he would on Tuesday next ask the House to consider a general amnesty bill.

The death of Robert Ridgewav, late member from Virginia, was announced, and remarks eulogistic of his character were made by Messrs. McKenzie, Mavnard, Brooks of N. Y-, and Booker. Ihe llonse then at 3:20 adjourned till Monday.

SENATE.

Bills were introduced and laid on the table as follows: By Mr. Wilson, to prevent assessments of money upon Government employes for political or other purposes. The bill provides that it shall be unlawful for any head of a department, collector of customs, or internal revenue, or other povernment officer to receive, or knowingly fail to prohibit any such assessment, and any employe paying sueh assessment, shall be dismissed from office and be sub ject to a fine not exceeding $1,000. It also forbids under the same penalties, any importer, broker, agent or other person making to any Government official or employe, or member of his family, directly or "indirectly, any present, gratuity reward or compensation for service pro' mised or rendered in connection with the duties of his office.

By Mr. Morton, providing that all elec tions for President, Vice President and members of Congress shall be by ballot Mr. Morton, in reply to Mr. Trumbull, explained that the bill waa intended to apply to Kentucky, and perhaps one or two other States where eleotions were rira voce, and not by ballot.

Mr. Sherman presented a memorial of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, praying for such amendment of the resolution authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Ohio river, between Cincinnati and Newportj as will prevent the completion of the bridge on^the pres

ent plan, and that it may be constructed at a greater elevation, and that the draw may be disposed of. Referred to tho Committee on Commerce.

At 12:40 the Senate went into executive session, and at 1:20 an open session was held lasting ten minates, when a list of the standing committees of the Senate as agreed on by the Senatorial caucus, was presented by Mr. Anthony, announced and confirmed.

Mr. Fowler upon request was excused from service on the committee to which he had been assigned.

Mr. Anthony stated that Mr. Hamlin, on his own request, in view of his long service in the Senate had been excused from committee service to the present session.

The following are the only changes in the committees from those of the previous session:

On Appropriations, Edmunds succeeds Wilson on Post Office, Flanagan succeeds Hamlin on Revolutionary Claims, Hamilton, of Texas, succeeds Fowler on the District of Columbia, Revels succeeds Hamlin on Patents, Windom succeeds Norton, deceased on Contingent Expenses, Windom succeeds Edmunds, and on Enrolled Bills, Ames succeeds Patterson on joint select Committee on Retrenchment, Harris succeeds Williams. All the other committees remain as at last session.

Various bills upon the table were then distributed among the committees. After a short time in executive cession the Senate at 1:45 adjourned. -1

WASHINGTON.

INCOME TAX.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—There seems to be no longer any doubt that duting the present session of Congress the Income tax will be abolished. At least a dozen bills looking to this end have been already presented, and there is a stronger feeling against the tax than ever before. Many members assert that since the reduction of the tax during the last session, little realized, and if it is wholly repealed the Revenue Bureau will be enabled to reduce its force of officers and clerks, and abate other enormous expenditures to such degree that the Government will lose little by the change, to say nothing of the benefits which will follow the abolition of the tax. On the other hand iis understood the majority of the Comt mitteeon Ways'and Means will not favor immediate repeal of the tax. Some members think it had better be allowed to stand as it is, until it expires by limitation, June 2d, 1872, and others say that if any action is to be taken it had better be left to the 42d Congress, the present Congress having already passed upon the question charing last session, after full considei ation.

The following nominations were sent to the Senate to-day, being nomimalions of appointments made during recess: Vice Admiral D. D.Porter, for Admiral Rear Admiral S. C.

CAUCUS.

V-*"'!

The Senatorial Republican caucus held a meeting this morning to receive the report of the committee appointed to nominate members of the standing committee of the Senate. After discussion it was voted unsatisfactory, and the subject was recommitted. It is understood that objection was made to the retention of .Mr. Schurz on the committee on Foreign Relations, which it is desired to make strong in favor of the annexation of San Domingo.

CONSUL TO ROUMANIA.

Hon. B. Peixotto, Consul to Rouniania, in company with Recorder Wolf of this city, called on the President yesterday.

PKE3IDENTS MISSAGE.

MOSTBEAL, Dec. S.—Canada papers comment variously on President Grain's message. The question of fisheries attracts the greatest attention.

The Gazette, Ministerial organ, tft tempts to show the inconsistency of the President's complaints with ihe treaty of 1818. It says, while Canada is always ready to negotiate for settlement of all matters in dispute it cannot submit to any stand and deliver arguments.

The Herlald, independenV takes •ore moderate view of the subject atid trusts there will be sufficient right feeling among the people ofboth countries to get over existing difficulties.

SENATE COMMITTAL'S

It was believed last night that theie will be more changes in some of the important Senate committees than has been anticipated. Patterson will probably relire from the Committee on Foreign Relations to take the chairmanship of the Committee on District of Columbia, vacated by llamlin. Some Senators and members who oppose the foreign policy of the Administration assert that this proposed change is made to place the Foreign Relations Committee 'in more perfect accord with President Grant, as Patterson is known to differ with him on many important questions. It is rumored that Conkling will take Patterson's place. .. MISSOURI.

The same correspondent also telegraphs that the President in conversation with several gentlemen from Missouri yesterday, took occasion to again condemn in severe terms the action of Schurz in Missouri, and expressed the opinion lhat his course has lost the State to the Republican party so effectually that it cannot be redeemed in two years. Well meaning eflbrts of certain persons to heal the feud between the President and Schurz sdve as yet no signs of bearing fruit.

NEW STEAMSHIP LINE.

A new German steamship line lias been organized, from New York to Stettin, a post on the Oder river, south of the Baltic, and two and a half hours from Berlin by rail. Two new steamers will at once be put upon the route.

POLITICAL.'

The Republicans of this city are called to meet in their several assembly Districts to-morrow evening, lo choose delegates to a general convention in the interest of harmony and efficiency, to ect as delegate no person who holds any office or government position whatever.

UTAH.

Lato advices from Salt Lake citv state that Justice llawley delivered an opinion in the Third District Court of Utah, covering the rights of Mormon militia officers. The charge was lhat the defendants, after Governor Shaffer had issued a proclamation forbidding military gatherings, engaged in parade in uniform, with music £c., After a careful discussion of the definitions of treason the pi is oners were held to answer the judgment of the grand jury, each in $2,000 bail.

The Supreme Court of ihe Territory commences its regular term on the 12th inst., but will adjourn for a few days to await the arrival of Chief Justice McKeon from the east. Several important cases will come before the Court during its sitting. An additional U. S., garrison has been recently established near Salt Lake City, and the military force in that vicinity will soon be strengthened.

CUBAN MATTERS.

Late Maracaibo advices bring intelllIigence ol a treaty negotiated between the Cuban Gen. Quesada and the Venezuelan leader Guzruian. Ditcsala is to blockade Maraicabo with ten steamers, which in turn will recognize Cuba and provide her with arms and supplies. Apropos of all this it may be said, that Spanish officials in this country anticipate the early departure of another expedition- General Ryan is now in Nassau.— Again it is rumored that the agents of Prim are willing to negotiate with members of the Cuban Junta.A new plan for the benefit of Cuba has been recently conceived, which is regarded by many as a brilliant project, l's principal features have been drawn by General Jordan and approved by Aldama, the President of the Cuban Junta, and its principal members. The main point of the scheme is the suggestion of an unarmed immigration of 1500 Americans to Cuba, for the purpose of settlement. On landing they are to be permitted to set lie Cuban troubles. Arms are to be sent in a separate vessel. It is learned, however, that prominent members of the Senate are shaking their heads, saving the neutrality law of 1818 forbids any person within our limits to begin or set on foot, or provide or prepare means for any military expedition or enterprise whatever against the Spanish rule in Cuba.— The intent of Gen Jordan, they say. clearly is to begin here and place in Cuba a military force armed and equipped, and that those who furnish ships or transportion provide means for it. Emigrants too, it is said, eagerly enter themselves to go to Cuba with the intent, or in order to serve the insurrectionists, and that Jordan's scheme is a device that persons here assist the emigrants to go to ihe Island, so that they can embark in a military enterprise. Senators and members of Congress familiar with the facts, say

Jordan's plan is a .epetition of the Crampton device, of rccruLting men for the British army in the Crimea, by inviting and inducing them to go to Canada on pavment of board, passage money, expense or the like, there to deolde whether they will enlist for Crimea, ll is understood that some interesting dovelopmenn will be made in a few days in rega.d to the manner iu which Ge:i. Jordan and his associate-" obtained, money !fc men for the Cabin CM -e.

country, who were willing to engage in the business of uttering counterfeit money. An idea of the extent of their busi-tie-is may be gleaned from the fact lhat in fortv-seven days the cash receipts from their dimes were $30,000.
