The business .'of Legislation is; pro gressing as rapidly as could be expected. -But as most of the members are new, and each one feeling the awful responsi bility of his position, and the absolute necessity of amending and changing our present laws, as well as the enactment of an abundance of new ones, the work of the session promises to be' arduous With" one hundred and four members of the House who must go "kiting" to im mortality upon the bills they introduce, or not go at all, it will readily be. seen that the tables must "groan'' under the weight of that kind of literature. It is nbt necessary to encumber "our letters witH abstracts of all the "bills." They must, however, ; go through the mill, which will occupy much time; but in the end most of them will be strangled, as they deserve. 7 . -A. very interesting discussion lias been had in the! Senate upon a bill to revive the ten percent, interest law. ; The prop osition was introduced on the first day of the session, and was disposed of in that body to-day by an indefinite postpone ment. ' Some of the ablest of the Sena tors took opposite sides, and the debate demonstrated the fact that in that branch of the .Legislature there is some of the best talent in the State. The decisive majority by which the bill was indefi nitely postponed after full discussion, settles the fate of that measure for this session. A large number of. the mem bers of the House, if not a majority, would vote for the change; but the deci sive vote of the Senate demonstrating, as it does, that the measure cannot pass that body, will save the consumption of time in its consideration by the House. Mr. Harrison,' an able Republican member, of the Senate, but strongly tinctured with old hunkerism, and rep resenting a constituency of the same sort in part, introduced to the Sonate, on the first or second day of the session, a bill to proteet our "Southern brethren" from military invasions from this State. This "apple Of discord," although not so in tended by its author,1 has ' revived the drooping hopes of the Democracy in an ticipation of a conflict, in the ranks of the Republicans, 'It is very well known that but very few of the Republicans can vote for the bill, but it is hoped that enough can be induced to do so to pass it, with the aid oi the entire Democratic force'.. -Mr., Monroe, from tho Committee to whom the bill was referred, has made an able and, we think, unanswerable mi nority report, showing why the bill should not pass. Final action has not yet been taken upon it ia the - Senate, and jt has not, of course, come up in the inclled for, to be House., .

' The Democrats came down upon the document in. regular South Carolina style. "Such sentiments were wholly unfit to go before the peo ple. . That if read by the Jeople and sanctioned by them the Union would be dissolved, as the South would never sub mit to remain in the Union if such sen timents were permitted to be proclaimed in Ohio, &c." Some indiscreet gentle man demonstrated their entire sympa thy with the Despotism which has sup pressed the freedom of speech and the press in the Democratic States of the South, and that all that was wanting was the power to inaugurate the same Des potism herei But before the vote was taken it was discovered that, by a law passed several years ago, the inaugural, as well as other messages, were required to be published, and the number of cop- lies fixed, so that the "incendiary" docu ment could not. be suppressed. There is also another Democratic bill before the House, which will come up in a day or . two, and will doubtless elicit some discussion. Indeed, the object of the bill is simply to make "Buncombe" speeches upon. It involves the "negro question," of course, as do. also several others already introduced. But we will wait until action is taken before analyz ing the bill. It is sufficiently atrocious, however, to suit the taste of even Ala bama slave drivers. Oae section of it makes it a crime punished by heavy fine and imprisonment for any person to bring a slave,, (no matter of what color, coun try, or under what eiicumsten e,) into this State "for the purpose of emancipa ting tuck slave." Other provisions pun ish, with fine and imprisonment, any person iu ihjs State, who shall, in any manner, harbor or employ any free nc gro or mulatto who shall come into the State after a day named in said bill. . We don't think the bill can pass. We know it could not pass in Austria or ' Russia. But that may be owing to the absence of Democracy there..

" A. week ago we gave some account of a Republican caucus, with strictures upon some members elected by the Republi cans, but who disclaimed the name and were understood to be disposed to act with the Democrats in defeating an elec tion of an U. S. Senator. Tbe caucus, as then stated, adjourned for one week, and met again last night. The Senntors were all present, and all the members of the House except eight, and four of these were necessarily detained. The session was long and the interchange of views perfectly free, and entire good feeling prevailed throughout. It-was clearly ascertained that if any were disposed to act factiouslyj there were not enough of them to accomplish the purpose of de feating an election. To do so required six members of the House, and it was ascertained that that number could not be obtained for such an object. A few, however, insisted' on postponing the nomination, and the majority, in defer ence to their wishes, consented to defer a nomination until the first day of Feb ruary. X He conlerence passed on pleas antly, and all those prescntwho were ex pected to,- make difficulty, gracefully yielded the point, and agreed to go into the nomination at the time named, which will secure the election of some good Re publican. : No vote was taken to indicate the choice of the majority, although it is pretty well understood upon whom that choice will fall. ,. There will probably be but one name brought before the cau cus, and the nomination will be unani mous. Thif, however, is not certain. If Gov. Chase is not, on that evening, found to be the unanimous choice of the entire caucus, then the names of Corwin, Stan ton, Sehenek, Delano, Horton, and per-; haps others, will be presented, and the nominee, whoever he may be, will re ceive the entire Republican vote in both Houses. If Gov. Chase should be se lected there will be three, and possibly four, of the members who call them selves "opposition" who will vote against him. If any of the other gentleman named should receive the nomination, he will receive the whole Republican vote, of course. : If. Gov., Chase is not nominated we think Hon. V. B. Horton stands de cidedly the best ehance of any other L man in the State. With either of those gentlemen we think our constituents would be satisfied. As surmised in our lust letter, the Statesman is down upon Gov. Dennison's inaugural address. In the position in which Northern Democrats are placed by their necessary subserviency to the Southern leaders, the slightest reference to the former action of the Government ; liepublicans. on the subjectof freedom seems to throw It would be neither truthful, profita them into a "phobia," as the sight of j ble, nor just to speak bfhe Republi- An ; j t- cans otherwise than as the Abolition water does a rabid dog.

In conclusion he out of the popular xniad. if possible, thej aid we should stand or fall by what memory of the acts ot the Fathers, or to pervert them to the base uses of modern slave drivers. The task is a hard one, and we don't think it will pay. The bill referred to in a previous let ter, which sought to further depress the colored population by the most barbor ous enactments, was iip to-day in Com mittee of the Whole, but elicited no ex tended debate. The author of the bill made a long and incoherent harangue without point or argument. After the usual slang of his class, that the Republicans universally were in favor of marrying negroes, and plac ing them above white men, &c, he went off on the opposite track and asserted that the Democracy were the only true friends the negroes had in the State or in the Union. In proof of this he went on to show that negroes ne er did and never would settle in a State or Co inty where the Republicans largely predominated. " Nobody could guess what the gentleman was aiming at. He hid doubtless gathered up some scraps of. that kind of literature which- Joe Geiger, and his like deal in, and having used it on the stump among the unterri-" fie J, supposed it would make a sensation in the House. We must do the Demo crats here this j ustice to say that they were thoroughly disgusted, while the Repub licans enjoyed the fun. It failed to elicit any discussion, although a good deal of sport was made over it. It was finally referred to its author - as a select Com mittee. No bills of any importance have yet been matured, although they are com ing in by the score. You will be ad vised of them as they progress. ; Congress is still unorganized, and some scenes of filibustering and disor ders are kept up by the factions op posed to the Republicans. Sherman still lacks three votes of an election. It would seem that the Democratic mem bers would get tired of their nauseating repetition of threats to dissolve the Union ' But, bringing, as they do, from their plantations the manners as well as dispositions of overseers, they apply the same methods to Northern members that they do. to their slaves. They know of no other government than that of force, no motive of action than that of fear. Hence their bluster. Well, let them fume, and let all slaves submit. . COXGRKSalOX Al. : Wasbinoto. Jan. 13.; Senate. The Senate is not in ses sion, having yesterday adjourned over till Monday. . House. Mr.. Smith, of Va., said there were two propositions in the reso lution of Mr. Clark, of Mo.' The first was that the doctrines of Helper's book arc insurrectionary and hostile to the peace of the country, and was not this true to the very letter? He asked the question.' The next was that no member of this House, who endorsed and recommended the doctrines and sentiments , therein af firmed is fit to be Speaker of this House. Was not this also true? He wanted an answer. . Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, wished- only to say to the gentlemen of the House and of the country that when the gentle man denounces that book without limit ation as an incendiary production, he denounces the last wiil and testament of Washington, a copy of which is con tained in that book. The resolution denounces the Declar ation of the Convention of Virginia of 1774, instructing the Congress at Phila delphia in that year. The resolution denounces the living sentiments of Jef ferson, copied from his own Notes of Virginia, namely: "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and has no attribute to take sides against the slaves for their rights and liberties." Mr. Smith replied that he hoped the House understood that the member from Ohio endorsed the Helper book. Mr.. Bingham I' ask the' gentleman whether he repudiates those sentiments? Mr. Smith- That is not the question. Mr. Bingham It is not, eh? Mr. Smith I wish ' the House and country' to understand that he endorses the book, and for this he deserves the detestation and scorn of every man who forms a part of the American Union. Mr. Smith pointed to various clauses to shov the" slavery, compromises there in, and said: "Why does not the gen tleman respond?" : Mr. Bingham "I want the gentleman to know I am not his slave." : . Mr. Smith "No, if. you were, you would do better than ybu do now. You would get what you needy"; (Laughter.)

A point of order was raised on Friday by Mr. Leake, as to the ad missibility of Mr. Pennington's plural ity resolution, and ' tins morning it was passed over informally. Mr. Underwood indulged the hope that by this, debate the people of the South had been aroused to their position in the Union, and have become fully ac nuHinted with the ends and aims of the j Georgia should indicate. He occupied ; the floor for nearly four hours. Mr. Morris replied to a portion of Mr. Underwood's remarks, and brought the President up to his record on the slavery question, on which he arraigned him the other day. lie repeated that the Presi dent has abandoned his -original posi tion, and made a bid for the Southern vote in the Charleston Convention. Ad journed. " Special Telegraphic C.ir. to 'thfl Cln. Gnz. Wash nuton, Juii .17. This is a day of great skirmishing in the House. Mr. Hutchins, of Ohio, got the floor, and made a motion instead of a resolu tion, that the House proceed to ballot for Speaker, and that the member re ceiving the highest number of votes be declared Speaker, and on this he de manded the previous question before any Democrat thought of objecting. They had not anticipated such a motion at all, and certuiuly not from a new- member, like' Mr. H utchins, and were much dis concerted by it. A scene of great con fusion ensued. . . ; . The Clerk stated the question: "Will the House entertain the motion of the gentleman from Ohio?", but upon the suggestion of Democrats he modified it thus: "Is the motion of the gentleman from Ohio in. order." To both , these propositions the Republicans cried out, "good," "that's right:" If the question could be taken on cither of these, the plurality rule might .be .forced; but the Cierk, without put ting the question, recognized Sickles, of New York, who offered another proposi tion, in the share of an amendment to Mr. Hutchins' motion, atlhough no amendment could be in order after the demand for the previous question, and in this way the Democrats have filibus tered, in order to prevent any vote upon Hutchins' motion. ..- ' There is more talk than ever of a night session to-night. The majority of the Republicans are now ready. for this trial of physical endurance, which it is evi dent must be had, sooner or later. . I judge now that there will be a protracted session, though I do not think that the first experiment of the sort will result in the election of a Speaker. ' . . . Washington, Jan. IS. This morning the House was a scene of great confusion, caused by Washburn of Maine, insisting on his point of order, viz: that the Clerk should put the ques tion to the House, which he said he would put. The Democrats then deter mined that he should not put it, and the Republicans that he should put it. ' The Clerk, after an hour of noisy wrangling was driven by his Democratic masters to say that he would not put any question while any member was on the floor, when ihe point of order was made. This of course operated as a gag on the ques tion. Thus the Democrats continue to perpetuate the disorganization. . To-day a new breeze sprung up. Car ter of N. Y., charged upon Briggs, his colleague, that he had voted for men who were in favor of a slave code lor the Territories. Briggs repelled the charge. : Boteler of Virginia, who was voted for by Briggs, declared that he was in favor of a slave ode ior the Territories. . Etheridge of Tennessee, declared that he was not. Carter's charge was fully, sustained by the acknowledgment of Boteler. i. Briggs declared that "he believed that slave property .is protected by the Con stitution in the Territories, but he was not in favor of any Congressional action to give it further protection. Hickman of Pa., made a speech yes terday, fixing Upon the Democrats the responsibility ot the disorganization. it may interest Douglas delegates to know that Bowman refused to publish an article recommending the Democrats to unite on an Anti-Lecompton Democrat. He (Bowman) said he would rather see Sherman in the Chair than such a disor ganize as he called the proposed candi date. Wa.dinoION, J: B. IP. The debate in the House yesterday, was damaging in the extreme to the De mocracy. ; ; The (southern men again pledged the North-western Democrats to the Slave Code doctrine. Cox, for himseif and McClermand, repudiated this test. But both took care to say that when the Su preme Court shall decide that Buchanan's interpretation of the Dred Scott decision is correct, and that a slave code is proper, they would then succumb. - . Mr. Coliax brought out the fact, which was acknowledged by several Southern Democrats, . that they . have signed a paper, pledging themselves to resist, by ail parliamentary stratagem, a vote on the plurality rule. . j The attempt to bring the House to vote on the points of order, which nov stand in the way of the adoption of the plurality rule, is vigorously prosecuted by the Republicans,; but the .disunion Democracy filibuster and talk the time away and prevent a ' vote.
