It is fortunate for the Republican partv that there is no dearth of great men in its ranks and while it is to be regretted that Grant seems determined loalienate his friends," there are others whose military deeds and civic virtues wiU quilify tft?ni t6 be liia successor Ind. Journal, "Military deeds" cannot fairly be regarded tm any portion of the -necessary "qualifications"' fox the office .of If resident, however much they may enhance a candidate's availability. But roppojing it desirable that, man»f ."ttiUfrry-deed* and civic virtues" should be Grants successor, where among the long'/Ust^ ©f» illustrious names on our party rosier does the Journal propose to find itscandidate? In plain words, what military hero of the late war can the Bepnb|[c^| party nominate with any confidence that he will prove so acceptable as to render his election probable? In lobkjng oWr a list of all the surviving general officers who have been, in service, jrolunteer er regular, since 1861, we find no^tyaui^. tfcat will excite enthusiasm or inspire confidence. Man 1 of them are noble men, but something more than nobility of character is required, i^ thSj man who is to leal the Republican part? to victory in 1872. Had General Thomas lived, he would hvve presented just that combination of "military deeds and civic virtues" requisite to availability as a candidate and success as Chief Magistrate of this country. The people would have forced his nomination on the party leaders, whether acceptable to them or not. But thdfcleath of that great and good man has deprived us of fresh military material wherewith lo construct the head of our ticket. None of Grant's late brothers in arms can be regarded as his rivals for the succession and if there comes a time when, to use the language of our own State organ, Grant becomes "odious and his nomination impossible," we must look for his successor among civilians, and find one whose intellectual and moral worth will challenge the strictest scrutiny, whose patriotism will need no collateral vouchers, whose record is free from the remotest suspicion of jobbery or corruption. Happily our party has many such. gsj.S

HOUSE.

WA8Hr»OTONt March. 14. were passed for regulating the

method of presenting estimates and Keeping accounts hi the Treasury Department. Mr, Townsend introduced a resolution, which passed, instructing the Secretary of the Interior to famish at the next session of Congress, maps showing the railroads in the United States, and the grante of public lands made thereto Ac.

On motion of llr. Moore, a resolution waa adopted tabling claimants to withdraw from.the files of the House, their petitions asking compensation forsupplies furnished military authorities, including Joes of vessels &c., in order that such papers may be presented to the Commission for adjudication of claims.

Mr. Poland offered a joint| resolution authorizsng the committee appointed to revise the statutes, to print their reports. In response to a question he said, he believed before tha ad)oarntn«ot of this Congress,^we shall have a complete revision of the laws, fie thought all the general laws of the country would be compressed into two volumns, exclusive ot treaties. The joint resolutioa passed.

Mr. McCrary from the Committee on Elections, reporte4reeolutiona extending the time lor taking teetimapiy in several contested election cases, including that of Bowen vs DeLaree, from South Carolina. They were severally passed.

Mr. McCrary said the time would be extended only ^in cases where it was shown to be necessary and reasonable.

Mr. Poland, from 'he same committee, repotted a resolution which was adopted, extending the time for taking testimony in the case of Maxwell vs. Hooper, from Utah.

Several other resolutions were adopted extending the time* of taking testimony in certain cases-

Mr. Cox offered the .following, and demanded the previous question: Resolved, That economy reqnires the annual taxation not to* exceed 250 millions, including. 126 millions of principal of the public debt.

Resolved, That the tariff should be for revenoe only, and not for protection of a class of interests at. the general expense.

Resolved, That in case this session ad* journ without the appointment of a Committee Ways and Means, a special com'on 'i eof feevenbe appointed to con* aider ai.il report on reform in our revenue, iand such bill or bills embodying revenue on the foregoing principles, as will best carry the same into practical effect and in £ase said Committee on Ways and Means be appointed this session, then said committee shall perform the duties required by this resolution.

Mr. Kelley objected to the resolutions, and they were therefore not entertained. They were, however, ordered printed.^

The Houae proceeded to consideration of the bill heretofore, introduced by Mr. Beck, to remove all political disabilities.

Mr. Beck said, after consultation with members he wan thoroughly convinced that the bill removing disabilities from all failed to obtain the requisite vote of two-thirds, he was therefore disposed to admit the amendment of Mr. Poland, making exceptions, believing whaUi wiser man than himself had said, that it is a settled rule to make the most of an actual situation, and never hesitate to do a

roper thing because he could not do all desired. Mr. Stevenson said we must have peace And order, before amnesty.

Mr. Elliott, colored, of South Carolina, said he believed he had been regarded as entertaining liberal views on this subject, but at a time like this, when he turned his eyes to the South and saw loyal men of that section suffering, he must how and here enter his solemn protest against this proposition. It was nothing but paying a premium on disloyalty ana treason, at the expense of loyalty. He was surprised that the gentleman from Kentucky (Beck) should introduce such a bill. He appre ciated the feeling of sympathy which he entertains for those men in the -South, who are now prohibited from holding office. They were the gentlemen's allies and compatriots. He regretted that the

f¥iday,

entleman from Illinois, (Farnsworth) on took occasion to compare the condition of men who are disfranchised, with those who are allowed to hold office in^the South. Instead of a removal of political disabilities doing good, it wou!4 be taken as evidence that this Congress desited tA hand over (he goverpe^eat "t* the tender mercies of disloyal men, wty are responsible for murders and outrages in the South, by their denunciation of Congress and abueeof the President and all connected.witii the government They are the iieii^ who commit the deed's. They corttribute te 'them Meds ky their social influences and with money furnished by *frminany keep up outrages in order to» insure Democratic triumphs in theSouthL He (Elliott) was here in behalf of loyal men to tell these facta. Tbe number of arms shipped to the South in every steamer, was evidence that ^disloyal men at the South are instruments for carrying out the designs of their Northern allies. He represented white met! as Ml to men oChis own color. His constituency were as loyal as that of any other man on this floor. That constituency appeal to Congress to do justice and protect, them, by legislation, instead of placing them under the heel of those who ruled with an iron hand.

Mr. Buckley, of Alabama, said he should vote for the bill, as it was in har-' monv with the feeling of the party tt whom hie owed his election.

Mr. Blair said he should vote for the bill. The men whose political disabilities it was proposed to remove, had been humbled for years and yet murder and arson ran riot. Mr.. Beck said some thought tbis bill aided the Democratic party in some way, but such was not the design. He introduced it because he thought removal of disabilities would do more to restore harmony, than anything else that could' be done. Mr. Beck's bifl is as follow*:

Be it enacted, Ac., that all legal ana political disabilities imposed by the 3d section of the 14th article of aigendmeril to the Constitution of the United'States, on persona herein mentioned, because tit their having engaged in. insurrection or rebellion against the Uaited States, or gifen afd orjeomfort to the enemies thereof be, and the same are hereby removed.

After further discussion Mr. Poland moved to amend by adding,. Resolved, that this act ahall Hot appl/ or *n ^any w*y affect or remove the disabilities of any persons included in either of the following classes: 1st, members of Congress, of the United States.who withdrew tnerefi

The amendment under the operation of the previous question wasagreM to, 123 to 37. ..

The question was then taken on the passage of the bill as amended, and resulted aa follows: Yes 120, nays 82. Two-thirds not having voted for the bill, the Speaker declared it rejected.

The House passed the Seaats bUl making the Governor of the District of Colombia one of the Regents of the Smithsonian Institute.

Mr. Rindall offered a resolution that when the House adjourns to-day, it be to Friday, ami when it adjoarna «n the latter day, it be to Ifoaday.

This being, objeeted to tbe resolution waa withdrawn, and the House at 4 o'clock ac(joarw|d ooUl to-morrow. vi SENATES

At once after reading the journal, the Senate took up the the resolution from the House Ibr final adjournment to-morrow, the 15th inst.

Mr. Morton moved to lay on the table. Carried, ayes 32, nays 13. The negative vote was made up of Democrats, and one Republican, Trumbull.

Mr. Sumner presented a memorial* from the exiled citizens of San Domingo, who have been driven from their homes, setting forth that Baex, for the purpose of accomplishing the annexation of San Dot* mlngn, has caused many patriots opposed to the project to be sentenced to death and executed and has put others^ in chains, and imposed rigorous ostracism upon a majority of the most influential and noted citizens. That for the same object, of realizing his intentions, and in order to deceive the government and people of the United States with an appearance of legality, he has forced Dominicans to assemble for an election, and compelled with threats, the greatest portion of the citizens to vote for annexation against their inclination and the interests of the country. That the majority of the people are opposed to all foreign domination. That the object of Baez in the project is, to convert into specie large amounts of bills against the Treasury of the Republic. That the annexation of Dominica would result in grave complications for the government of the United States, and of fatal consequence for the sons of the soil, and that it would be a violation of international law. Therefore the memorialists in the name of themselves and their countrymen, solemnly protest against the treaty of annexation which has been presented by the government of President Baez to the cabinet at Washington.

Mr. Sherman raised to a point of order before the petition had been half finished, that it was against the usages of the Senate to have papers of this character presented from foreigners, in which he was sustained by the Chair.

Mr. Sumner insisted that he had not yet made known for what purpose he had introduced this document, and consequently the time bad not come to rule him out of order. He proceeded to state what his object was in reading the petition, when Mr. Morton desired to know if the Senator was to make a speech against annexation, whether a reply from himself would be in order.

The Chair decided in the negative, and also insisted that the ruling be observed, and that Mr. Sumner should proceed no further with the reading of the paper.

Mr. Frelinghuvsen offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for information aa to what States, if any, have ratified the 15th amendment to the Cop* stitution of the United State# since the issue of his proclamation in March 1870 adopted.

Mr. Thurman expressed the opinion that national bank notes should not all be printed in the Treasury Department, but was it the best .method to prevent fraud to have one part of the plates printed hr one engraver,^ted another part by a'nMer? _r .. r.Jsb.erman-'fl&id tJ» 6ilT, whiA was lifi tis operation, dUnot touch the raised by his colleague.

Columbia, March 13.—Capt. company

Chris

topher, commanding a company of the 18th United States Infantry at Yorkville, S. C., in letters tb CWv. ScoCt and Sheriff Glenn, of Yorkville, asserts that the guns taken from the negro militia by the Sheriff wire-used by pickets to prevent negroea from getting away from Yorkville to their homes. That the pickets were thesameillegal, unknown and armed band that made a raid on the office of county treasurer. A card will appear in the papers here signed by thirteen white citizens of Yorkville, denying both statements. They explain their course fully, and show, that Capt. Christopher's own troops did all the picketing from which trouble arose, and that Christopher misrepresented the case. They show that those who came into Yorkville and^raided upon the county treasury, Were different parties. Sheriff Glenn has written a statement, but it haa not reached here yet. Gov. Scott has summoned leading Democrats to advise with him upon the up country troubles.

RELATIONS COMMITTEE.

New York, March 14.—The Herald'ri Washington special says, it is understood that Senator Cameron will to-day resign his position as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, on the ground that his health will not permit him to assume such laljorious duties. Cameron is anxious to be chairman Of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, which Sumner declines. Senator Harlan is the next man on the Foreign Relations to Cameron, but being chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs, he cannot accept the chairmanship of the Foreign Relations. It is probable that Mortdn, the third member of the committee, will be made chairman. X,

THE COAL TROUBLES,

Pottsville, Pa., March 14l—The Miner's Journal publishes the following contradiction of the statement published in th^^ese, wherein certain operators and coaT firms are announced as being in opposition to the present movement of coal opertors and railroad companies: "We are authorized to deny on the part of the following collieries and firms: Samuel E. Griscoll & Co., not shipping, and do not intend to until there is a general resumption of trade. James C. Oliver &JCo., running theft colliery for the sole .purpose of kepping up a sufficient supply for the furnaces of Aikens' Brothers, and to prevent their being blown out, ana are not in opposition to the present movement as stated.

The Pine Knot Coat Company are not shipping, and are in full sympathy and co-operation in the present movement of operators to protect themselves. J. Frick is operating his colliery with the full consent of the trade, and does so only because his lease will run out in four months. The extent of his operations is confined to the drawing out of loose coal, which he would otherwise lose.

Of other firms named, we are assured by trustworthy persons that Heckehem & Glover are not shipping, and are only' working to get a second outlet, in obedience to the requiremepts of the ventilation act passed by the Legislature last T6&Fe

As to the Whetstone colliery, it is but a small and insignificant affair, their shipments amounting to only ten cars a dayi

The Philadelphia coal company and Alaska colliery are really one and the same thing, we are told, under control of thesame persons. That officers of this company should express their opposition to the present movement is neither new nor strange, particularly as they have for along time been acting entirely independent of the Anthracite Board of Trade, and were especially independent in their action during the suspension of last spring and summer.

The Board,of Trade seem to believe tbe connection of this- company with that organisation, is not essentially necessary to its future prosperity." iv. -ni ... ,r --'If
