Jalian'a Inefficiency aa it Member of Congreaa PunUhment of Jf II. Iavi. Four week ago, wa gar a, sample of Mr. Jullan'a efforts in legislating, by pnbltihing the proceedings of Cotigrue relative to a resolution he introduced last January, demanding-the apeedy trial of Jf AT. Davi for the crime of treason, by military or civil tribunal, and his prompt ezecution, if fowrd guilty. There is no difference of opinion between Mr, J. and mirself in haing (Lis arch-traitor brought to a speedy trial, and if he is found guilty, the declaration of our II. C. th.it the death penalty by tbe rope, should be his portion, in that event, meets with oor approval. What we designed to say, and what we proved by the published proceedings of Congress, was, that notwitbdtaiiuir.g this peculiarly "mart wau", bad tha exjiericnce o', three term in Congress, be had proved an utter ',a,lure in successfully carrying out any measure V bad aver introduced., It will be recollected that the Ju diciary Committee of the House, had th whole subject before it, and it was preparing to miKB m report, in regard to Jeff. bavia'a case; uw't,, these circumstances, a resolution like tha ane VatrodurJ by Mr. Juiian. would lave been Unprorr nd outof place tor tlie House to have paaaed it would bava b.oa entirely unnecessary and uncalled for. But this did not suit the man who bad so frequently boasted that Ae had been the forerunner of "father Abraham" the man who had taugbt the martyred Lixcolf all lie knew about Anti-Slaveryl who bad "his red the way" over which that good man traveled td I 'the blessed haven of universal emancipation to the negro race in this country! Mr. Julian had determined to do lomtthimj that would signalize bia career as a Member of Congre, and band down bia name to future generations, as the father of a resolution to try Jeff. Davis and hang him, if found guilty. - The- Judiciary Committee wan entirely too slow a coach for him! Without intending any irreverence, we have frequently thought Mr. Julian had the effrontery- to imagine that the Almighty eoulj'nt properly carry .out His great and beneficent plana unless ha himself first moved in the matter and "blazed tbe way!",' Ha intended that this resolution should give hi in ttjnt throughout the country. Hot, alas! for the immaculate George, his cruel compeers, notwithstanding he had spent four long months of labor and toil to secure himself in this little ni he of fame, quietly referred the resolution to the care ami keeping of the Judiciary CotuuiUae on tW 30tu ult. As another instance of hia inutficieucy and failure to carry out his views, we noticed the modification that hia resolution' underwent regarding the future admission of States into the Union. His resolution instructed tha Committee on tbe Judiciary to bring in a bill "providing that hereafter the elective franchise shall nut be abridged in any of the Territories of the United States on account of race Or color," and that no State, organized out of an of these Territories, "shall be admitted into the Union, w hose constitution shall sanction such denial or abridgment of elective franchise." This was so modified ss to merely ask the committee to "inquire into the propriety of reporting such a bill." ! " , Some of tha peculiar friends of this je-aumry "smart representative accuse us of "snecriugly" referring to bia official conduct. " We nave only exercised the privilege of copying tbe congressional record regarding his action, and fairly -criticising his movements if this can be tortured into ,-riny, the contemptuous turning up of the nose is at least official, and they are welcome to the suggestive idea! Alluding to the forthcoming trial of Jeff. Davis, the New York TrAtmt, ef the 14Q, contains the following article, which meets our views precisely; and, in thus endorsing it, we wish it diattnetly understood that, although "Greeley is a small. man compared with lien. Davis," (using tha language o( Uhj "True( Julian ) Qijipcrhead," we lose nothing of our ttitur in doing so : "Jefferson Davis is a State prisoner the only mm left in confinement (unless ex-Senator Uwin tie another) because of his share ia the late Rebellion. We have always understood that it was the earnest desire of those who bad a right to speak in his behalf that he should be duly arraigned and tried at the earliest moment consistent wuh judicial fairness and equity; and we have favored BiU'h trial, riot because thev desired it, but because H seemed essentially just ami right, yet all the more ieslnoslv because his friends wished it. We have desired and hoped, moreover, that the Chief-Justice of the United Suites should preside at his' trial; and we have understood that, also, to be wished by the J'ricn is of the accused. We do not know thst this is to be; but we infer that it is, from the fact that Mr. Chase's objection to preaiding, or even to aoiding Court m Virginia, was based on the continued anaintraaaoe of -Marti. il Law in Virginia; and that, we understand, has now been removed. And, as Davis has been regularly indicted in Virginia, we trust that his trial i soon to take place, and that it will be an conducted ns to reflect honor on American jurisprudence an ! be productive of lasting benefit to the eonntry. ' To these ends, it seems to us, imperative that tlie Press sh uld treat the matter considerately, tesnperately, and with a ea refill avoidance of partisan bitterness or personal acrimony. For it is not merely Jerteron Davis who is to be tried on this occasion, hot tle A nitric- a form of Government and the American People. The very gravest questions cf constltulionaT law are likely to be raised, discussed adjudacateeV-.

From the fact that we never have been the receipient' ef auch ar, with the exception of that geotlamaa's Phrenohigical chart, which he sent ns twoer three years ago, we looked through it carefully expecting to find a flattering notice of him, er some recent legislative feat he had performed for Bmmrvmit ; bat found nothing nxceptiog a left-handed compliment comparing Messrs.

Among the grea'est sinners against God's right eous will were these three individuals, and though he was not prone to believe in snecial providences, their fate was Otherwise Unaccountable. One had been summoned to tlie bar of retributive justice with his sins unrepented of. Another, covered all over with the mildew of debauchery and wrapped in exhalations from which buzzards would turn their offended noaies, carried to the grave tlie impress of infamy, while there yet remains one of the Godless trio; bnt the plengue is on its Westward march, his limbs are smote with the blood of t rime, nud tremble uuder their load of corruption. Still he prayed that the Governor might live long enough to realize in this world, rattier than in the next, that God is just. Thus the roekl.-HS Id man raved jvgainst the men who saved his neck from the halter that was his (hie. He renewed his adhesion to the Democratic party, and exhorted his hearers, in the precise biuguage lie had used on a former occasion, to maintain the organization of the party, though cownrdlj men may have shrunk from the boldness of its truth, and attempted to corrupt its ritual and interpolate its constitution. Jjp The fiendish utterances of this vile traitor, in regard to Gov. Morton, is a fuc simile of the Julian slang that has, . from time to time, flowed through the sewer of the -True (Julian) Copperhead' family organ of this city, and no doubt will be -rolled as a sweet morsal under the tongues', of these implacable and malignant personal enemies of the Governor, as well as by his political enemies of the copperhead stripe.

A caucus of the I'nion Senators was held yesterday, at which it was determined to adjourn about the middle ot July, unless some unforseen reason for sitting longer should arise in the mean time. The constitutional amendments were discussed, and it was decided that every attempt should be made to harmouize the views of Senators, and that being done, i they should be passed by a strict party vote. The caucus adjourned to meet on Monday, w hen some final decision willtie reached. X. V. Tribune, Mar 26. The Republican caucus of Senators on the Reconstruction question came to a close on Tuesday. It is said that they unanimously agreed to strike out the third section of the report of the committee, and substitute therefor a provis ion limiting disqualification- to hold office. Another amendment provides that Whenever a ijtate shall comply with these ; provisions its representatives suall be at ! once admitted. In the Honseon Saturday some real business was transacted. After several hills of no general interest had been presented, the tax bill was again taken np, and considerable progress was made. In the course of the debate on the hill, Mr. Stevens reviewed in very severe terms, and amid much excitement the recent serenade speech ot Secretary McCuIloch, and denounced him as prostituting . his. office to unholy purposes.

Speech of Secretary McCuIloch. Below we give the remarks of Secretary McCl-lloch. on the occasion of a serenade by the National Union Club, at Washington, Wednesday. 23rd inst. Fellow citizens: My position in re ferencc to thu iues which are now engaging public, attention is not. I apprehend, misunderstood ty you. fOieers I will say. theiefore, as I suj.poe I must say something on this occasion, that the general - policy of the President in re ferMi e to the Souther States anl people

. recently in arms against ..the r.ederjl Government I. as co.umended itself to my i deliherate judgiueut- Cheers And j although it has been violently, and in ; sortie instances,-viudictively assailed, 1 j have a coin ic tion that it will be appro v j e1 by the people when they shall be a!- j lowed to pass j'jdgment oa it. I sup- j pose, gentlemen, that none of us expect- i ed that at the close of this great war. in , which much bad blood had been excited, and more good blood had been shed, we ) should have bright skies and calm seas, j 'We anticipated that at the close of i tlUS war great questions WOUl'l tome up for Settlement, the discussion Of which woul.l be likely to agitate this countrj, to shake it from center to circumference, but we know also that the people had not been wanting in any previous eruergencv. ami we had confidence that they would be prepared to cope with, aad settle satisfactorily any questions that might be presented. Applause. "The faith is strong with us now. e have faith in the people, and faith in that good Providence, which, having led tlie Nation through the Red Sea of battle, is not likely to desert it, now that the dreadful passage has been accomplished. Andrew Johnson's policy is straight for ward, intelligible, and practicable, and if a better policy can be presented, one more in consonance with tlie principles of the Government, and better calculated to preserve the supremacj- of the Federal authority, while it trenches not on the reserved and legitimate rights of the S ntes, more just, humane, and better fitted to bind the people of this great country in a common brotherhood, at the same time it places just condemnation on treasuu. and vindicates the majesty of law, if such a policy can be presented, there is no man in the United States who will more willingly embrace it than Andy Johnson. Hearty cheers. I5nt until thst better policy be presented he must be false to himself, false to his record, and must, in fact, cease to be Andrew Johnson, if he does not adhere to his policy, and sink or swim with it. Cheers. J "It is pretty good evidence, after all, gentlemen, of the correctness of his policy, that Congress, after having been in session nearly six long, weary months, has been unable to present one which they can agree upon, no substitute. Cheers and laughter. 'It was once said, I think by John Randolph, that of all tinkers tlie Constitution tinkers were the most to be despised. Cheers If the ld man could lise from his grave, what would he say of the present Congress, in whieh" every third mati at least is a Constitution tinker? Cheers and la tighter. But thev are not wise enough to am end that grand old instrument, the work of their fathers, of the founders of the Republic, the 2lorv of the Cuited States I and the admiration of the world. i Cheers. j "My lellow-citizens, there is bnt one j proposition that has been presented, j which stands even the ghost of a chance j of acceptance by the people of the North, and that is the proposition bfis ing representation on votes, and whose ; fault is it that that is not a part of the .i Constitution to-day? i Why was it not submitted with tbe amendment abolishing slavery? Whose i fault was that? Was it tlie fault of Andrew Johnson? "Fellow citizens, I have only this to say. I have desired and hoped for a continuance of this great Union party with which I have ever been iJentified; but if its leaders can present nothing better than the programme of the committee, I am greatly apprehensive that i s days will be numbered. I trust, fellow-citizens, that this will not be the case; that it will discard its hostility and its attempt to continue alienation be tween the two sections of country, and that it will embrace those principles which look to harmony and to the restoration of peace. If it should do this it will still continue to be the great and controlling party of the country, and cover itself with imperishable glorj. If it does not, its days are numbered, and the epitaph that will be written will be: 'It knew how to prosecute the war with vigor, but it lacked the wisdom to avail itself of the benefits of victory.'"' Applause. The serenading party neit proceeded to the residence of Postmaster General Denuison who spoke as follows : Fellow Citizevs : We have much reason to felicitate ourselves on the general condition of the country in view t-f the perils through which we have recentlv passed, and to inngratulate ourselves oa tlie promising future that awaits ns. It is true fiat tne reflation of the Southern States to all their constitutional relations to the ceneral Government is not vet accomplished. s0 f..ras that duty, or that consummation, has devolved on the eiecanve b-aneh of the Government, it avis been freely performed. Applauw,. I cannot now recall anv tailore in this regard. W ith all these things you are familiar, an 1 the country knows what has heen dune and what is doing. Doubtless there are provisions in the Constitutions of some of the States, as there are io the laws enacted by some of their L-itrislator that are not in concord with the views of the mor.il ai.d libertv loTtrir citii: rs ot the nation ; but we cannot reasonaLiv doubt that these will g.re p'ac? to better provisions and better laws un ler the influence of the Federal Govern ment and their own mtoria" necessity. But one thing remains to complete "the work of restoration, and to clothe the Soutiiern States with all the-e constitutional privileges, and that ts their representation in Congress. I regret, deep'v regiet. that there is anr d'Srence between tiie President and our frienits in Concress. but yon wiil have observed that this difference is not as to whether ti e Southern States shaM be represented, t-nt wh-n. The ConrssioDal prov-raoo'iie. as far a it has teen develope-i, looks to a delay, conditioned ou tbe adoption ,f certain amendments to the Constitution.
