U. a GRANT. By the President: Maxilton Fish, Secretary of fromwer After Samana asd Owe Tarn Proof, dent*-.The ScMte Dobaleo All Pay sad Adjourn* Wltboot Acting on the Amnesty Bill. The Senate was engaged all day at Its favorite pastime or Ogbiiug shadows. The Amnesty bth, passed by the House last session, was toe order of tbo day, hot the result was different from what has ?wou confidently expected. Senator Anthony was In the on air, and the morning hour was mainly oon anmed in the offering of mils. lie. Sumner opened anew battery by the presen tment a proposition for an amendment, making the President ineligible tor re-election. In order to prevent misconstruction he amended the resolution, so that It Mould not take effect tui tho tmgmutug oX the next term. The Massachusetts feenator also wanted Samana Baj investigated, to wluch Mr. Oonkiing, (or toe administration wing, hastily agreed, it is understood thai, acting under Mr. Wilson's advice, toe edict Has gone from the White House that no obstaole be thrown in the way of any demand for investigation. Mr. Thurman wanted Mr. uoldtnwane, or Alabama, sworn in. Objection being made It went over till after tbe Holidays. The claimant is used to this result, his case having oeeu going over for twelve months At one o'clock discussion on the General Amnesty bill was resumed. Mr. sunnier urged his Supple mentary Civil Rights bill as an amendment to the pending one, whereupon Mr. Thurman raised a point or order to the effect that it was not admis sible, being matter which might he passed upon by a majority vote, while the removal or consiltutlonal disqualifications required the concurrence of two ,3thIrds of both houses. Mr. Truiabull raised the further point that a measure removing d tsgualllleations did not require tbe approval of the j-i undent, being m that respect, under the constltu tie tr, in a position similar to that ot an amendment, lie broached this theory, but did not insist on It as a p unit of order. An interesting debate oocurred betv reen the Illinois Senator ana Mr. Carpenter, tne 1 titer having presented as objections some re mark ably literal renderings of provisions contained in tot ^legislative article. He was soon glad to re treat troin an untenable position. Mr. Oonkllng took wound In favor of the germane char acter c f Mr. Semner'e amendment. Mr. Edmunds sustain* hi Mr. Thnrman. Mr. Sumner blmsell made au-effec uve reply to tbe point of order, and then made a jsecullar speech la support of tbe objects he nougl-t. .His remarks were especially directed to Bcnsaor Alteorn, and had the effect of securing from that gentle man, at a later stage, a very telling reply. Mr. Thurman argued his point of ort^tr at length, and tue (thair ruling against ir he took an appeal. Mr. Sawyer urged the passage of the amnesty's! a measure of high publ ic policy, demanded.for the ease of peace. He wair exceed ingly severe* in his strictures on the states*! minis tration of South Carolina. The debate o ver tho points raised by Mr. Thurman brought the Senate to near lour o'clock, tbe hour agreed upon fo.r clos ing general deuate. It was evident from the lira t that there would beau effort made to load the bill with amendments, tu the expectation of dcla) tng any action till after the recess. The vote on the?ap peal was 28 to 2?. Tho votes on all the amend men ta were quite close, with the exception of one offere 1 by Mr. IVllson. which was evidently badly wordet 1 or wholly misunderstood. The democrats all sus tained Mr. Thurman, as did also Messrs. Hamlin, Morrill, of Maine, HiU. Illtcboock, Lewis, Logau, luce, Robertson, Sawyer, Scott, Stewart, Trutubuil and Tipton. Mr. Sumner's proposition was the next question, the Senate being la Committee of the Whole, ou that tbe vote stood 29 to 80 In the negative. Besides the democrats were Messrs. Alcorn, Fenton, Ferry, of Connecticut; Bill, Hitchcock, Lewis, Logan, I'ool, Robertson, Sawyer, Schurz, Scott, Stewart, Tlptou and Trumbull?Hi teen republicans. Several of these gentlemen announced their votes were not cam against the principles of Mr. Sumner's amend ment, but with tbe ooQvlctlon that Its passage would insure the defeat of amnesty. After this was temporarily disposed of. s number of amend ments were presented, debated and voted down, with one exception. Messrs. Edmunds, Morton aud Wilson offered amendments, providing that persons who had remained in Congress or oertalu executive offices till after the rebellion, and then joined, should continue disqualified. The object of these amendments was quite plain. There is one Senatorial case. Governor Vance, of North Carolina, nbicU would be affected, It Is claimed, by the pending bin. Those who opposed the amendments argued that the present removal of disqualifications relieved no man of the conse quence of any flagrant violation of the law, ancb as endeavoring to obtain office from tbe holding of Winch he was Inhibited. Another class of amend Menu ware designed to prevent amnestied persons from King regarded as loyal In the matter of war claims. It was argued that the Supreme Court had decided tnat uncon ditional amnesty or pardon restored all rtghta, while those who opposed the amendments declared amnesty could not lie construed to extend MayiNsd political disqualifications, as mentioned In kh? tnird section of (be fourienih amendment. These propositions were rejected. Another set of MsMOduients were alined at (he Ku Ktux; one ex alt persons who could be proven to have Men engaged In snch transactions. ?r. rratt proposed that every amnestied person abou.d be required to make oath that he had not been engaged for twelve months previously in such transactions. These were also re jected. The only amendment carried was one offered ny Mr. Morton declaring that amnesty she',! not be construed as validating any one's tit'ie ,0 office who had been disqualified at the time 0f his election. The vote stood on this 29 to 25. Tho democrats present, of coarse, voted "'^o," as did Messm. Alcorn, Kenton, Hill, Hltc'-lCOCgi Kellogg, Lewis, Logan. Morrill of Maine, R,ce, Robinson, bchurz, Sherman, Stewart, Tl' Trumbull and West, Quite a number of 8ei\aton were absent. As the hours waned It became evttor8 desired chiefly to manipulate the mat ter to k nr. Vance ont of bis seat, good, easy mane >srlng men, like Mr. WBson, deemed it time to luKi,sotbe Senate, after being la continuous ses B< .on for over sewn hours, adjourned without accom piishing any practical raaait. Amnesty, however, ts not dead, hut ts snre to pass after the holidays. The best repuhitcaiiB are greatly dt3satisfled at the petti ragging of the question, which was so apparent throughout the proceedings. The IIohmc la U?wral Debate?Thrilling Re* mark* to Uuipty Beaches?A Pro.Stavcry FomH from IbUaaourl. There were not mofe than thirty members in their seats to-da$. The house met as 4n Oom mitte of the Whole, Mr. Moore, or Illinois, In the chair. Wr. Harris, of Virginia, read a speech upon the concurrent resolution of March 2, 1M7, directing ?be United States officers not to make pay menu to any/one who was engaged In or who sympathized a/ith the late rebellion. He claimed that such action was unconstitutional, and urged the governmeut to forget the past. Mr. Sheldon, of Loulsiaua, sp oke upon the subject of the Mississippi levee. Me.'Ritchie, of Maryland, spoke against the spirit and "work of the republican party, and Mr. Bialr, of Missouri, sung the praises of universal amneatyand defended the institution of slavery, to which fefs colleague, Mr. Parker, indignantly replied that h% was the only man from that State who wonld attempt at this nonr to defend human slavepyt Mr. Burdett, or tne same State, protested in the name of the men and women of Missouri against any -any sucn monstrous assumption. At tbe close of Mr. Burden's remarks the House ad journed to Monday, January 8, 1872. The Retrenchere to Recta With New York.

Nummary t)f the formpomlenee Accompanying the President's Message on the Subject. The State and Navy Departments* Action In Cuban Affairs. Washington, Dec. 21,18 Tl. The President to-day sent a brier message to the Bouse of Representatives in response to a resolu tion offered by General Banks on the 6th instant, requesting information relating to the execution of tne medical students at ilavaua and the failure of the Spanish government to carry ont tn its West India colonics the reforms voluntarily promised by the statesmen til Spain. Tne correspondence commences as far back as September 13, 1870. In November of that year t-vcreiary Ftsu addressed United states Minister Sickles a letter la which the Int. ter was instructed to represent to the Spanish government the strong desire to have en. forced tuc decree of emanclpUlion of slavery in t he Spanisn West India colouies. Spain owed It to herself to fulfil the just expectations of the civilized world In this respect. She owes It to the United States to carry out In -good fuitlt the repeated pledge. Minister Sickles to Secretary Fish, January 19. 1871, says"He lurnuhed the MlnUter of the Colo nies with a copy of the letter's note respecting the question of slavery and politi cal reforms in Cuba and Porto Rico. The Minister lniortned him thnt the law passed by tno Constituent Cortes the 23d of June, 1870, has been fulfilled and obeyed tn all its parts In Cuba from tbe date of its publication, although tne absence of regulations for Its execution makes it neces sary that what would have otherwise been a matter of mere form shall be made :he basU for regular forms providing lor the clear determination of each case. In order that the execution or the law may suffer no obstruction the Minister has determined a basis to servo as a starting point and has transmitted It to tbo Councillor or State, subject to the provisions or law, In order that the definite regulations for carrying out the decree la question may he taken up without delay." Secretary Fish, on February 28 last, instructed Minister Sickles to conitnuo to urge the lulhlmeni ot the emancipation decree and other promised re tue papers is a letter from Vtce Consul General Hall lo Assistant Secretary of State rtotiCi November giving a clrcumsiantial account of me anoa? uLecrai?ou 01 tUe grave ot Castanon, the Key West martyr, as lie was HelU to be by a por ^JSSKSSSJt^!^ so.

It waa iouud necessary, to prevent a more serious that some, at least, of the youug men should be sacnflced. The court martial, composed of c^iuai numbers of regular and volunteer onicers, LTnca at wo o'cidck in the morning, aud at ih? sentences were given out. The execution place at five in the afternoon, np to which hm.r the volunteers kept up their demonstrations be the or^n and the palaoc. Throughout the whole ol this affair ttie government displa) ed Us utter help lessiiess in dealing with such an emergency. The regular loroe at lis command was tasigniflcaut, while that of the volunteers was large, readily con cetitrated, and, as in this Instance, when nearly u"ir?"a?? iTSSSi'"&? ft! were well lounded apprehensions that a general massacre of Cubans was Intended, and this pos slbly may be attributed us one of tne ?ouv^ for a compromise with the volunteers and the sacrifice of the young men.

A vecy pleasing affair took place last evening at the residence of Judge Barrett, on West Twenty eighth street. The Junior members of the New York Bar have been for some time contemplating the Idea of a presentation to the distinguished lawyer, m admiration of his conduct since the contest was first commenced against the Ring. There was considerable discussion as to what form the pre sentation should take, but it was Anally decided, on the suggestion of Mr. I.yddy, that It should consist 01 a has relief bronze bust of the Judge. The commis sion to execute the work was giveu to Mr. Byron M. Plckitt, and the lrult of his labors rctteots the highest honor on him as an artist. The likeness is au admirable one, and when it is considered that Mr. Pickitt never saw Judge Barrett, and had nothing bat a portrait ol Bunny's to guide blm, the credit due to him is Ml the greater. The bust bears the inscription:?"Presented to Mr. George E. Barrett by the lunior members of the New York Bar." Among the promitient lawyers present last event g at the presentation were Uoratio Kicc, 11. s. Clinton, Jungo Reynolds, a. A. KeUAeld, s). Courtney, A. R. Lawrence, A. Joley and me mcinoers of ttie com mittce who Had charge ol the arrangements. On the part ol the members of the Bar MR. OANIKL R. I.YDDY made a very neat mile speech. He said the occa sion luat brought them together was a very pleas aut one; but there nad been some misconception relative to the presentation, particularly on .ne part of the Wurta, winch had published an article thai entirely misrepresented both the motives of the members of tue Bar in presenting and of Judge Barren In receiving the gilt, Hie origin ot the affair was simple. At the conclusion oi ihe trial in the matter of ihe Ecley in junction, which had been so nobly fougut by Mr. uarreit to so successful an issue, winch was tne first blow the lUug received, his fellow lawyers deemed it u gracelul uct on their part to acknowledge by some token (heir ADMIRATION OK DI8 CONDt'CT. This was long before he was even named as a can didate lor Justice of the Supreme court, but Mr. Barren refused to receive the bust previous to tlie election, so that none could suy it was a dodge to catch votes. Tne personal character of Judge Bar rett was knowu to them all, and bis political con duct had becu endorsed by h.i.oou at a tune when every vote was careiully considered, lie had great pleasure in benaif of the oai in presenting the oust. JUDOS BAR REIT, in reply, said that the ordeal m which he was piuced was one of the most unusual ones In his lire, lie was more accus.omed to speak tor others tlmn lor himself, ana an atmosphere where there were conflict ana discussion was more suneu to uis nature thau a unanimous gathering Use what he saw belore him. He lelt exceedingly proud of the compliment conveyed to mm bv the gut of ihe iieauuiui wcrkot art which no saw before him, and lelt proud of the confidence displayed In him by his letlow members oi the prolession. But, sinking personality, there was au idea underlying the affair which me was giad to re cognize, as it marked the dawn of a new aud a better era in the h.story of the city. It was no longer necessary In order to attain to place and power to barter personal honor and iruckie to tne corrupt power wnich had so long ruled the city. Heretofore, In order to Insure success, it was neces sary to descend to the vilest oi means, and the position of a young man wno wished to preserve his uitegrity and independence was hard indeed, un the one hand there were wealth and place and power, and on the other, privation, laoor and uncertainty; aud it required more than a Spar tan's courage to prefer tue less attrac tive and barren path. Now, however, thanks to tne victory tnat lias oeen gained, a young man can, without sacrificing nls independence, gratiry his honorable and laudable ambition by lair and utmost means. In mmself, ne believed that ne might suy, without flattery, tnere was au Instance oi one who had never owed success to tne influence ot tne tools of corruption, and what had been achieved by him was wlthiu the reach of all who would only fairiy and nonorablv strive. lie was grateful for the honor, bnt far more pleased at the recognition of tms principle.
