On motion of Mr. Buckingham, the Vice President was authorized to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Sumner's retirement from the Chairmanship of the committee on Privileges and Elec tions. Mr. Morton, at his own request, was relieved Irom his position on the com mittee on Agriculture, and the Vice President was authorized to fill the vacancy. Mr. Morton moved to take up the resolution for a formal adjournment ou the third Monday in May. Mr. Sumner moved to add the fol lowing: Provided, that there be no ad journment of Congress until after the passage of a supplementary civil rights bill securing equal rights without dis tinction of race or color. [Laughter.] Mr. Schurz moved to amend the amendment by adding a bill to reduce the tariff and internal taxation and a bill to reform the civil service.

Mr. Wilson moved to postpone the resolution for adjournment and take up his bill for the compensation of certain laborers in Massachusetts under the eight hour law. Mr. Sumner supported the motion, and said that men in Massachusetts had been treated differently from those in the Government employ elsewhere, and they ought to have prompt redres-.

Mr. Herndon was sworn in as Rep resentative from Texas. Mr. Pawe9 offered a resolution di recting an investigation in the man agement of the various Executive De partments. It is similar in its wording to that of yesterday by Mr. Lynch, ex cept that the latter was confined to the Treasury Department. Mr. Cox inquired whether this res olution would cover an examination into Syndicate affairs. Mr. Dawes replied it would not, as that was a matter in the Treasury De partment, but he assured his impatient friends from New York, that it he would only bold his poul in patience he would be satisfied that the Secretary of the Treasury had conformed to law in every particular. The resolution was adopted. The House then took up the bill to consolidate the postoffice laws, and after some little discussion the bill was passed. Mr. Bingham, from the Judiciary committee, reported a bill nxiog the first Monday in November, 1S72, as the time for holding the election for elect ors for President and Vice President. Messrs. Bingham and Sheldon ex plained the necessity for the bill, as arising out of some provisions of the Louisiana Constitution.

He explained the necssitjrforthe immediate passage of the bill, as the case on be half of the United States is to be pre sented at Geneva on Saturday next, but said that the fallest opportunity for debating the terms of the treaty would be given after the holidays one other point, particularly, in resoect to ihe fisheries, in which his colleague (Mr. Bntler) took mncb ioterest/ A discussion arose on an objection by by Mr. Garfield as to whether the sub ject should or should not be referred to the committee on Appropriation* The Speaker objected to the point, holding that the rule of the House only reauired general appropriation bills to be repotted by that committee. After a lone diacuaaion on technical points of order, the bill was referred to 'the committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. The vHouee- then at half-past two o'clock, went into committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, Mr. Buffington in the chair, and resumed the consideration of the apportionment bill. The apportionment bill was discussed until four o'clock without any definite action being taken. A resolution was adopted requesting the Secretary of the Treasury to inform tHe House whether any of the banks in I New York or Philadelphia are engaged in promoting the scarcity of money. At 4:10 the Houae adjourned. NEW YORK. The Iotrrnatlonaliita. New \ork, December 12. The Federal Council of the International last night appointed August Fluesaen to go with L. S. Banks to Albany and ask Governor Hoff man to revoke the oider forbidding tbe Communist demonstra tion. A committee was appointed to wait on the Police Commissioners, and give them notice of their intention to parade next Sunday. Reform In Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Citizens' Reform Asso ciation met last evening, when the Leg islative committee presented reports proposing a new charter, on the basis of that of 1854, embracing several alterations and amendments deemed necessary. The subject is now under consideration by the committee. The committee of fifty are still actively engaged in a thorough investigation of the financial accounts of the Depart ments. Cabinet Changes. A Washington special to the T.ibune says: Matters have reached a point now, where there can no longer be a shadow of doubt that Akerman will at once retire from the Attorney General ship and be succeeded by ex-Senator Williams, of Oregon. This change was substantially decided upon several davs since, but has been withheld for cer tain reasons which make longer delay unnce.-sary. The retiring Attor ney General will be transferred to other fields if he prefers to remain in an offi cial station. It seems probable he will be offered a legal position for life in one of the United States Courts for one of the Southern States. The report that Robeson will soon retire from the Navy Department, finds many believers. Many well informed persons declare it is his intention to go abroad in some Ministerial capacitv after hi^.tflaiyiace jo Jtfisa.Aulir.lc. The following telegram was sent from Boston by the Grand Duke Alexis to the New York committee of reception: "I desire once more to express to you and to all the members of your com mittee my warmest thanks for your cordial receptiou. 1 shall never forget thekinane*sl met with from the ladies and gentlemen of New York. [Signed,] "Alexis." CondUion'of tbe Prince of Wales. The following is a special to the Herald, from London, dated December 12, 5 A. M.: The Prince is very restless, with no signs of improvement, and death is imminent at any time from suffocating attacks. Ilis strength is low and the symptoms are bad. The Princess Alexandra is greatly exhaust ed. The Princess Royal, wife of the Crown Prince of Germany, is hourly expected at Sandringham. The Prince's groom is worse, threatened with inflam mation of the lungs. The excitement in London and the Provinces is greater than during the Crimean war. Congressional Hatters. The Times special from Washington of the 11th inst. says: Mr. Dawes will make an earnest effort to report from the Ways and Means committee and have passed, a bill, before the holidays, to repeal the income tax. The com mittee will probably report favorably. In the investigation of the treasury frauds it has been found necessary 10 authorize tiie committee on Expendi tures in the House, to send for persons and papers. The investigation is also progressing under a committee of ex perts selected by the Secretary. It is believed all the defalcations tiiat have occurred have been made public. Mr Dawes denies the truth of the state ment that he had given the tobacco men an assurance of his intention to favor a reduction of the tax to sixteen cents, or tuat he told his position on the question. The Unman Jfnrtlereti?Tb* Income Tax. A Tribune special from Washington says The Secretary of State has re ceived advices from Havana which place the action of the Spanish Govern ment in execnting the students in a still more offensive and inexcusable light. General Banks, Chairman of the House Foreign committee has been advised on the subject, but the committee will not take any action on Cuban affairs antil after the holidays. The President is preparing a report on the subject lor presentation to the committee. The President said to-day that he hoped Congress would abolish the in come tax before adjourning for the hofitfar recess. It is believed that a majority will favor its immediate repeal. I A fireman, engaged in switching in I the yard, at Columbus, Ohio, yesterday evening, left bis engine to "turn the switch, and neglected to turn the screw securing the throttle valve. The valve slipped open, and the engine I started. It went through the depot at 'the rate of twenty-five or thirty miles an hour, and collided with some freight cars. The engine and three or four cars were badly smashed. ?v A number of railroad men are at tending a meeting in St Loaia, called to remedy the evila of the paas system. A like meeting will be hela in Indian apolis on the 20th inst. From Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, Dec. 9.. THE REIT PRESIDENTIAL CAM PAiear. Programme of tbc Mile#"!*?'* A vepy great interest seems to be felt, in all parts of the country, to know what measures will be adopted, and wbat line of march pursued, by those leading Republicans who are opposed to the administration of General Grant, to prevent the disgrace and calamity of his re-election to the Presidency ot the United States. That each an effort will be made, and earnestly made, in behalf of the honest and patriotic portion of the Republican party, in opposition to the plaves and sycophants of the Pres idential fortunes, has been finally deter mined. Tbe gentlemen who will direct this movement against the aspirations of the Great Officeholder, who de Bires to repeat himself in place, and who have already been derisively char acterized by the court journals in the interests of those parasites, as "malcon tents" are very well known to the country, and without regard to their political opinions, enjoy tbe honor of a general confidence. We need not at this point pause to develop tbe reasons why this course of action has been decided upon by the patriotic portion of a great and victo rious party. It is sufficient to know that they regard General Grant as an ignorant and incompetent man, govern ed by gross instincts, disdainful of the law, using his high office as if it were a personal possession, and inspired bv as pirations which are represented rather by the sword, than by the obligations of the oath nnder which be took bis office; in short, a mere adventurer, who; soldier-like, onlv embraced the Repub lican faith because he saw success with in its ranks. The editor of this paper desires to ?.ay for himself, that while he shares the general motives which actuate the other Republicans alluded to in the premises, he feels that he has a special justification in resisting the candidacy of General Grant for a second term of office. This justification may be found in the facts? first, that the editor of this paper has been for many years an earn ?st advocate of an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting any person rom bolting the Presidential office for nore than a single term and, next, jecause General Grant, in a conversa ,ian with him, two days before his nom nation at Chicago, pledged himself ormally to the same principle, by de :laring it to be his conviction, "that the iberties of this country could not bo naintiined without a One- Term Amend ripnt tn tljP Cnnatitutinn anj oiyjh Q ?M>?ident to retain good men in office. rEs was Mid to tl,e writer dur ng one rf b? interviews, through which lie U re'toreJ friendly relations between ?n.ral Grant and General Bute, and _ft9 printed shortly afterward in the CiFof the Times, and reprinted lurin" his friendly intercourse with General Grant, without objection on his part, or cavil on the part o an} ot hie friends. This declaration by Oen Z\ Grant, printed at such a t.nie in a ournal of which he was a laithf.il 1 o ur mav be fairly taken as a delib erate promise that he would not aspire to tbe honors of a second term nay, hat he would hold it to be criminal to i onrl mav be'regarded, also, as a Xn$r? tbe -bole country to the same effect. In organizing a polit ical opposition, therefore, to General Grant's candidacy for a second term ..we Settles of his conntry that he 'flourishing to delay the level nnment to which we are approaching, ?h?ugh this article, we desire simply, at thif point, to remind our read erst hat the evils of the re-elective principle are the eviis u cooceded lhat lt would be difficult to find an American of any sh^de of politics, or from any port, on of T. if his Farewell Address; and Jackson, with a slill larger experience 0f?h'tSPreSn"S?^:iWa.b. nation for rre*lu* Farewell '\fdress "a Tndeed, in all his previous Th'e^v the Constitution on this point Sere is certainly a very rentable agreement of opinion between the two moft illustrious Presidents known to our history. Both had served double terms; both had been tempted by their follow ers with the offer of third term*, but both rejected, what in more ambitious men, might have been made the step ping^tone to monarchy. Both, there fore, warned the.American people not to permit another President to take even a single step toward the perpetuation of this rule. This was the only defect which they saw in our institutions the only constitutional reform which they proposed to have effected. Whatever, therefore, might have been the reasons which had let! to an omission in the Constitution on this point, neither Washington nor Jackson considered those reasons worthy of a mention. What they saw was, that this mali?n temptation to the ambition of the Pres ident would convert him at once into the chief of a clan, instead of leaving him to be the servant of the people, and that untold corruptions, mischiefs and dangers would be the inevitable conse quence of such portion. Again, through a common weakness of poor human 1 nature, the desire for a retention of j power easily Reduces even the be*t of men into the belief that their own re election is necessary to the welfare of the country. From that point forth no man is a rogue in the Presidential estimation, who can give support to his pretensions, and at once the best sta tions under the Government are doled out to the most "effective" rascals in the land. Does not every man's obser vation go to attest this fact; and do not those official harpies, taking thei: I cue from the President's virtual tnalfea sance, make theft, perjury and corrup tion the great political industries of the land This was what Washington and Jackson saw and foresaw, and the argu 1 meut of its danger brought them to the conclusion that the re-elective principle I was a breeding ulcer of "treasons, strat agems and spoils," against which no Government could lire. And this is the same conclusion which the entire people, under a still more extended ex perience, have arrived at, and that, too, with a unanimity which enables us to say that we never heard of an Ameri can, of any politics, or from any section of the country, who was not in favor of the One-Teiaa.^Brinoiple,- or at least in faror of prohibiting the President from extending hia pending incumbency bv immediate re-election. It at once became obvious, therefore, to those who desired to defeat the sor did and dangerous ambition of General Grant, that the patriotism of the coun try must be appealed to, in order to wring from him, and from his deadly selfishness, an honest observance of the One Term Principle It is one thing, for a party entering Upon a crusade, such as it is necessary to direct against the mighty power which surrounds the White House and its banded legions of superserviceable knaves, to urge gen eral principles with the pen, and quite another thing, to put them in practical and campaigning force, as to animate and engineer a cause. The firet work had been done, as we have 6een, by Washington and Jaokson, and support el bv many writers, among whom the editor of this paper has probably been, for the last ten years, the most conspic uous. It was the tatter's fortune, how ever, while reflecting on this problem during his recent sojourn iu Paris, to hit upon a method of effecting the organization of a campaign upon this principle, by giving it a cutting edge and driving force, This plan was to give an opportunity to the people of the United States to vote upon the One Term Principle, by means of resolu tions, to be offered in every variety of public meeting which admitted of the experiment, that should be held pre vious to the meeting of the next Presi dential Convention. An opportunity to hold a preliminary election on the One Term Principle, and thus wind in, bv a windlass, as it were, the pubi c ex pression of the country, and knot it firmly into an auiboritat've declaration that would render General 6frrant prac tically ineligible. A preamble and res olution suited to this purpose were then drawn, and are as follow*: W hereas, Experience has demon strated that the omission by the Con stitution of the United States to prohibit the re election of the President has left the country open to the worat form of power of1 theYreJudenfKis ptit If wlrtim iiis means to repest himself in office during life ana Whereas, This temptation tore-elect himself ha.s the constant effect of in ducing the President to appoint candi dates to office who will serve him in pre'erence to serving the country; and Whereas, This unwholesome motive to the distribution of office sets the bad example to the sub official system of the States, which is the fruitful source of political corruption throughout the country; and Whereas, The solemn advice of Washington and Jackson, in their re spective Farewell Addresses, urging an amendment to the Constitution to re move this danger, is a warning which patriotic citizens cannot neglect, and is, at the same time, the highest evidence of the corrupting effects of the re elective principle; and Whereas, This patriotic advice has settled so deeply into the heart of the nation that it is almost impossible to find an American citizen, either in the North or South, the East or the West, of any shade of politics, who is not in favor of such amendment to the Consti tution and Whereas, This universal wiah of the American people, though always recog nized by Presidential candidates, when first seeking the office, is always battled and betrayed when they desire office ajra'n; and Whereas, This universally expressed wish of the American people can never b^ successfully brought up in Congress, because of the notorious aspirations of the leading members of tha.t body to be President themselves, not onlv once, but for three or four terms; and Whereas, This vain ambition peems to be shred by most of the politicians of the country: therefore Resolved, That we trie will hence'orth inscribe upon oar ban ner:< ttie "Ooe-Term Principle" for the Presidency of the United States; and will likewise proclaim among our texts for the coming cam paign against vice, corruption, confederated wealth and aristocracy, those of "No more Mon archy in America,' "No Standing Army," and no candidate for Chief Magistrate, under the new yearning of 1 the world for peace, who represents or J typifies the Art of War. This preamble and resolution were at once, upon the return of the editor to this country, last month, submitted I to the judgment of several distinguish ed Senators, politicians and journalists of the Republ;can party, who were med- 1 itatinjj what is called the "New Depart- are" aga.nst political corruption, aod J by each accepted as the very best method of taking a preliminary pUluciU against Grant, on a principle of suffic ient importance ta utterly envelop him within its folds. In fact, of beating j him or rather of rendering bim iueli- j gible.on a paramount question of public1 policv, before he could so much as even get to the doors of a Dominating cob vention. Best of all it would give the people an opportunity to vote on a^ theme upon wLich they had always been cbcated by the politicians. This question being settled by the Republican leaders, as lar as any limited number of leaders can direct1 the general action of a party.it became proper that the chiefs of the Democratic party, which in its just hostility to Grant would necessarily co-operate in any measures calculated to depewe bim, should be frankly informed of the coarse which the Reiorm Republicans intended to Uike. It waa to meet tbia exigency, that the editor of tbia paper went to Washington on ICooday laat. and pat himself in communication with some of the principle Democratic i members of both Houses. This visit resulted in a meeting, at his rooms at the Arlington, on Tuesday evening, of quite a large number of the most prominent Democratic mem* bers of the House and Senate, among whom we was the sole Republi can present He opened the business of the occasion, by stating that his main purpose, in desiring to see them, was to communicate some intentions, entertained by prominent members of the Republican party, on the subject of the next Presidential election. It was not bis object to seek an expression of their views upon that theme or to pro ject a coalition, butsimply to lay before them, in frank good faith, the course which the gentlemen with whom he was associated intended to pursue in the coming campaign; believing, that the spontaneous action which would follow, on their part, would be better than any compact which could be formed that, in fact, anything in the shape of a compact, or coalition, would, in bis opiniOb, be very in judicious, and not by any means promote the object to be gained. He then recited what has been detailed before, along with some explanations and conclusions, which would be permature if given now. He next submitted the preamble and resolution which have been given above. Some discuesion and consultation ensued, in which the views expressed by the writer, as well as his preamble and resolution, seemed to be approved. The opinions of the writer were then asked upon several points of interest, to which he replied, that be felt great delicacy in offering an opinion, of any sort, as to the policy of the Democratic party, to gentlemen so experienced a? those present; but, now that they had given him the privilege to express him self, in that way, he would ask them to bear in mind, that the logical can didate for the Republican opposition to adopt, would be one who would be likely to be most unwelcome to-the Democrat#; that, any attempt to select a candidate partially agreeable to the Democracy, or to yield them the Vice President on a fusion ticket, would prevent us from being able to handle our forces, and leave the immense flood of the Republican majority to roll back, and settle at the feet of Grant. All these views seemed to be ap provingly received, and the company dissolved, as free as it went in, but, at the same time, with an intelligent understanding which will probablv have more moral, binding force, than any treaty that could have been made. We may add, that it is very probable that the Democratic party will hold a Convention of some sort, between now be ready to develop their detailed line of battle. All the while, during this* fierce contest, the Democracy will bear hti attitude of austere observation, operating mainly as an armed reserve; free from all coalitions, but prepared to act with wisdom and with vigor Here is something for the friends of General Grant to contemplate. They think he is a soldier. Let him now address bimcelf to this campaign. Tqe steamer Celeste, owned by the Memphis and Arkansas River Packet Company, struck a 9na^ in tiic Arkan sas river last night, twenty miles below Pine BlufF, and sank in 7 feet of water.
