Telegrapli. Cougrc^ional. WASHINGTON, March 1.-Tho Senate was engaged to-day in the discussion of the resolution with regard to tho admission of tho late insurrectionary States. The House debated the civil right? bill. From Europe. NEW YOKK, March 1.-The steamship j Asia has arrived. Cotton steady, with a decline of a qnarter penny on the sales of the week.

Comments of thc New York Press. Raymond's paper, the Tunes, says: The birth-day of Washington was fittingly chosen for popular demon? strations in favor of the Union. That in this city was triumphant. That at Washington, equally enthusiastic, was even more significant, for there the President himself uttered "thoughts that breathe and words that bum." That great effort of wisdom and patriotism will secure for him the gratitude of his own coun? try and the approbation of the world, j When this wonderful speech has ? been attentively read and digested by the American people, President John? son will be as firmly established in their confidence and affections as the most popular of his predecessors. The Herald says: Andrew Johnson has taken up the gauntlet which the Jacobins in Congress have flung down. The "man at the other end of the avenue" has shown his appre? ciation of Thad. Stevens and his ra? dical clique by the bold and uncom? promising manner in which he de? nounced them by name, in his speech in Washington, on the 22d, as trai? tors and revolutionists. He took plain issue with them in honest and I homely words. He stands for the Constitution and the Union. His enemies, he declares, are working out another rebellion. The country, we opine, will sustain the President in this view. On the whole, President Johnson's speech is bold, manly and outspoken. More bold than any? thing which Mr. Lincoln ever pro? nounced, it is not less redolent of wit. It is not as classical as Sumner, as ornate as Phillips, nor as evenly ba? lanced in its sentences as Seward, but it possesses the sterling qualities of frankness, courage and truth. It is, in fact, a speech suited to the mau and to the times. The News th tis comments: The name of Andrew Johnson is upon the lips of the people in accents of delight and admiration. Never, per? haps, in the history of our country have the words of any one man sent such a thrill of hope and satisfaction through '?ie popular heart as did those br.;' e words of defiance that the President, on Thursday, flung in the teeth of the radical conspirators. The masses are quick to appreciate the merits of au act of great political significance, and they have, as if by ? instinct, measured the value of the bold and determined sneech of their Chief Magistrate. They recognize in it a promise of redemption from the tyranny of faction and fanaticism. THE PEOPLE ADMONISHING AND IN STRTJCTINO CONGRESSMEN.-The mail is pouring in timely admonitions from the people to those members who had resolved to thwart the Execu? tive policy. Representatives who, three days ago, were eager for war, are advised by their constituents that the country desires peace-peace between sections-peace between those who claim to be Unionists in Congress and the President, whose devotion to the country needs no ad- | ditional test. These healthy protests from the people direct, will do a world of good. They will indicate to those who have courted division between Congress and the Executive, that be.-, tween faction and terror for the pub? lic welfare the American people can draw a ready and just distinction. I New York Times. -MC?. NEWS FKOM HOME.-The radicals in Washington are hearing from home by every mail, and all they hear deepens their conviction that they have made a great mistake. The people elected their representatives on platforms that pledged them to sup? port the President and his policy, and not to follow the crazy lead of Thad. Stevens. The people do not forget, and what the radicals now hear is the commencement of a fire in the rear that will grow fiercer every day till they fulfil the pledges on which they were elected. [New York Herald. Immediately upon the passage of the Act of emancipation in Missouri, its Legislature organized the State Board of Immigration, to open the way and invite the industrious and enterprising of other States to come to Missouri. Governor Fletcher issued au ufucinl address, which, with many interest? ing facts about the State, attracted attention; and an immigration com? menced upon the close of the war, reaching in six months from 50,000 to 80,000 persons, who have come to make their homes in the State. A man named Myers, of Houston, Texas, the Telegraph suys, has killed in his life (he is fifty years old,) 15, 000 deer. His average for many years past has been 070 per year. From Washington. Another week of the session begins, but with ns little prospect of the de? spatch of .business as heretofore. Were this the short session, it would be within a week of its termination, and, as yet, the wheels of legislation are clogged by the efforts of Congress to defeat thc President's plan of re? construction. The war between the President and Congress has begun in earnest, but the Republican majority could not, at the caucus on Friday night, agree upon any plan of hos? tilities. They took mealies, how? ever, to save their elections. Some members now say that it is useless to pass bills for the President to veto, and that, as their own measures cannot be enacted, they care for no other. Others propose a continuous session till the expiration of the Thir y-ninth Congress, to pre? vent the President from appointing his friends to office during the recess of the Senate. To withhold the appropriation bills is another mode of annoying the Executive, but the substantial inter? ests of the country would revolt at that, and few members who resorted to it could be elected. There remains but one mode, and only one-where? by, if the Republican majority can recover and keep the two-thirds power of the Senate, the President can be put down-to wit: impeach? ment. The first thing to be done to? wards this is to obtain a two-thirds majority of the Senate. Several modes have been suggested-one is to create new States in sufficient number for the purpose. It was re-asserted to-day in the Senate, that the Cabinet of President Johnson is a unit upon all the mea? sures of the President since his accession. This includes thc veto. Mr. Seward endorses every word of the President's late speech, and we have heard, as. yet, no remonstrance against it from others of the Cabine*. It is believed that the Gabinet will adhere to Mr. Johnson, though Mr. Johnson may not adhere to them. Mr. Sherman has made a strong speech in the Senate to-day, against the scheme shutting out Southern representatives. [Correspondence Baltimore Sun. Forney has now D. D. added tc his name, which it is doubtful if any college in the land would have giver him. Senator Nye, of Nevada, who, by the way, is something of a wag. proposes to make a title moro signi cant. He has notified some of th< Senators that he intends to ofter r resolution expelling Forney from the Senate, on the ground that the Senate chamber is no place for dead ducks, He is just now engaged vigorously in the manufacture of public sentiment, He has issued cards for a reception tc newspaper correspondents on Mon day evening. There are many hungry young men of this class about thc reporters' galleries and thc lobbies who will attend, get primed witt Forney's whiskey and anti-Presiden tial notions simultaneously, and th? country press will show it in th? course of a week or two. The disbursements at the Treasury Department last week amounted tc upwards of $30,000,000. This is th? largest outlay that bas occurred ir any one week since the close of th? rebellion. The action of the caucus on Frida; evening, in declining to take issn? with thc Executive on an appeal t< the people, meets with general favo here, as will any and all efforts look ing to the avoidance of a more gene ral rupture. Tn the caucus, however there was nevertheless a determina tion expressed to stand shoulder ti shoulder in support of the measure that may be introduced in Congress and if the President sees lit to refus bis signature thereto, so be it. General Grant's absence from th meeting in New York was said t> have been because he did notcoincid with the measures that ne knei would be advocated there for th settlement of the questions at presen disturbing the country. Governor Cox, of Ohio, had a lou interview with the President yestei day. The President talked to him a sweetly as he had ever talked t Sumner, Kelly, Reedier, and others some time ago, and it is reported th? Governor Cox has not yet made u his mind as to the views of the. Pr? sident.-JVew York Tr ihn 25th. More than half a dozen letters wer to-day received by Repr?sentatif McKee, of Kentucky, detailing on rages against the freedmen of tin State in various parts of bis distrie In one case of the shooting of tw negroes and robbing them of all the families had, and upon tli% arrest ? the perpetrators of the act by tl agent of the bureau, they were iii (charged on a writ ?>f Jtabtas corpu sued ont and tried before a Circu Court. Another case, where a pari of white men went to the house of s old negro, and free man nearly all h life, robbed him of his money, kickc him to death, raked the coals fro the fire, put him on them, roast? him on one side, and then turned hi and roasted the other. They ah burnt two others nearly to deat putting an eye out of one, and boas ed that they not only intend to dir out the negroes, but intended also drive out certain whites. I Now that the Freedmen's Burei bill has received its quietus, stat ments like thc above; seem to bc i pidly multiplying, for the ?wide advantage of those who would p< petuate their own power, and air ea? tlie bureau is said to be getting mai such reports from its agents. It is little singular that these outrages should break out all at once, when it is known that the present bureau has yet another year of existence after the former close of the war.-EDS.] In addition to tho audiences given by the (.'resident to-day to Governors Cox, of Ohio, Sharkey, of Mississippi, Parsons, of Alabama, and Generals Steadman, McCook and Saxon, a number kof old Democratic friends, members of Congress from New York, visited the Executive, who expressed themselves approvingly of the policy of restoration, and their desires to co-operate in carrying out the Presi? dent's plans. Among these gentle? men were Hons. Israel T. Hatch, of Buffalo ; A. P. Grant, of Oswego ; John B. B. Steele, of Ulster ; Elijah Ward and George Taylor, of New York, and Messrs. L. B. Crocker and F. T. Carrington, of Oswego. From Europe. The steamers Arago and Hermann have arrived, bringing advices to the 14th ultimo. We extract the follow? ing items of tue news: Lord Russell stated, in reply to a question, that the Government was not prepared with an act to carry out the recommendations of the Select Committee of 1864, on railway com? panies borrowing powers. A fearful gale passed over the Southern coast of England. It is expected that many casualties will be reported. The Taimes, of Monday, in a leader, says: "As the time draws near for re? vealing the plans of the Ministry, it pppears to become more and more certain that the reform bill of 1S06 will consist simply of clauses lower? ing the franchise in Boroughs to ?6 rating, and in Counties to ?15 occu? pation. It would seem, unless he has been sadly belied, that Lord Russell has acted upon the advice of Mr. Bright, and has, greatly daring, re? solved to stake the existence of his administration on the success of a bill which shall give us ?6 for ?10 householders, and a ?15 for ?50 County tenants. We cannot suppose that the Government believes that such a bill as is now predicted will be accepted as a settlement of the re? form question. "It is crude, violent and offensive; it expresses no policy; it corresponds to no aims. The conduct of the Mi? nistry on reform seems to show that they aro themselves conscious that they are settling down. They yaw from side to side, and roll and plunge with every fresh gust and every pass? ing wave; but such things are premo nitary of disaster, and we can only hope that if there is to bo a ship? wreck, something valuable may be left by way of salvage." In the French Senate, on the 10th ult., M. Rouher protested against tho speech delivered by M. Boissy, in Friday's sitting. Marshal Forey stated that the return of the French troops from Mexico would not take place as speedily as appeared to be desired in France, and he even advised that fresh reinforcements should be sent on. M. Rouher declared that Mar? shal Forey had expressed in his speech merely a private opinion, the views of the Government upon this subject being those contained in the speech from the throne, and the draught of the address.

TURE.-A corespondent of the Louis? ville Journal reports that this harmo? nious and dignified body recently broke up in a row. Of course the accomplished Governor Brownlow was at the bottom of it, and although he was not on the surface, he was sure to have his hand in the fire. The Jo urnaVs correspondent relates : "The franchise bill was on its final passage It is said that a sufficient number of its opponents refused to vote, reduc? ing the number voting below a quorum. Col. Mullins requested the Speaker to reqnire the members to | answer to their names. The Speaker decided that there was not a quorum present. Col. Mullins made some reflection, which brought the epithet "liar" from tho Speaker. Col. Mul? lins returning the compliment with additions, the Speaker threw his baton at Col. Mnllin's head. Revol? vers were drawn, and thc interposi? tion of peacefully disposed members prevented a disgraceful and bloody fight. The Speaker then declared the Houso adjourned. A significant fact developed in tho recent negotiations for a reciprocity treaty between a committee of Con? gress and certain delegates from tho British North American provinces is, that the colonies, through theso de? legates, treated directly with our Go? vernment, and not by tho interven? tion of the British authorities, as formerly. In the negotiations of tho original reciprocity treaty, thc Com? missioner was appointed directly by tho Home Government, and was a British functionary. The concession to the colonies of the right to choose their own representatives, and to treat with us without that formal me- j diation, is very much like a virtual j recognition of their independence. Outrages liy Negroes-A Reign ot* Terror lu South Memphis. The state of affairs in South Mem? phis is such as to excite serious ap? prehensions. Armed bands of ne? groes, numbering from ten to thirty, generally soldiers or ex-soldiers, prowl about the streets, ' 'splitting the ear of night" with their fiendish carousals, committing all manner of deviltry, and striking terror to the hearts of many a defenceless family. On Wednesday night, one of these gangs wero seen at several places. Their conduct shows very fairly what the negro is, when conscious of su? perior brute force, and armed with the bayonet. About 10 o'clock, the party, numbering about eighteen or nineteen, entered the grocery store of an Italian, oh the corner of Beale and Shelby streets, and helped themselves freely to the contents of a fruit stand within. Three of them carried mus? kets and accoutrements, and all were dressed in full uniform, and had pis? tols. After satisfying themselves with fruit, etc., they went out on the pavement and fired twenty or thirty shots promiscuously. One of them returned and fired at the store-keeper, but fortunately did not wound him seriously. Tho charge barely grazed his side, and the pistol was so close that tho powder burned his flesh. Some policemen humed to the spot, and arrived only in timo to see the rear guard, with three muskets, closing up the safe retreat. They then proceeded to the grocery store of William Ryan. The front door was closed, but they went around.to the back door, which was open, placed a guard there, and proceeded to help themselves to whatever struck their fancy. Five or six customers were in at the time. These were quickly relieved of all their money. Mr. Ryan himself was searched, but happened to have no money on his person except fifty dollars, which was in a secret pocket and overlooked. The money drawer was cleaned; what amount was obtained we are not in? formed. By way of assuring Mr. Ryan of their power and soothing him, they held a pistol close to his ear and fired it off-very magnani? mous in them not to blow his brains out. Tliey took in all about five hun? dred dollars' worth of goods, besides the money, and then departed leisure? ly. Such is tho reign of terror in South Memphis, people close their stores and houses early in the evening to guard against violence; ami when an instance of this kind occurs, they are almost afraid to report it to the authorities, lest double vengeance should be visited upon their heads by the authors of their wrongs. [ Memphis Argus, 23(1. DEATH OK THE OLDEST MAX 3 s THE WORLD. -Joseph Crelo, who was pro? bably the oldest man in the world, died in Caledonia, a little town of Wisconsin, on the 27th of January last, at tho ago of one hundred and forty-one years.
