The 4000 citizens from Charleston, who sent s petition to Congress for the establishment of a Territorial government, are composed almost ex? clusively of the newly created colored citizens. A report from the South Carolina Murder Inves? tigating Committee, in Congress, will be found in our telegraphic column. All the labors of the Thirty-Ninth Congress, on the subject; of Reconstruction, have resulted in the bill just passed, reducing the Southern States to Military Districts; allowing them to retain, for the present, the existing State governments, subject, however, to the military commanders ; providing for a convention that is to amend the Constitution of the State in harmony with the recent legislation, and for their readmission into the Union and Con? gressional representation upon the adoption of tho several conditions laid down in the Bill'. - There are 80,302 white and 5,074 colored Metho? dists in the State of South Carolina. . A Catholic Church, exclusively for colored peo? ple, is to he built in the city of St. Louis. In Illinois, the Baptist Churches have a total membership of 46,129, or one to every 46 inhabit? ants. The railway bridge over the Genesee river, at Rochester, gave way on Thursday night from the pressure of ice against the piers. A young lady in New York was recently pre? sented with a basket of flowers valued at nine hundred dollars. "Fool," &c. Elopements are so common at Springfield that there is talk of establishing "A Home for Deserted Husbands." ' The number of barrels of cranberries raised and sold in Harwich, Mass., last year was five, thousand five hundred and fifteen, and the price received for them $52,072. General CROOK has given the Indians "goss" once mote in Idaho. He had a fight with them on the 2d instant, in which he killed 40 and cap? tured 27. The Frankfort police have forbidden the sale.of the fabric known as green tarlatan, as it is dyed by colors composed, in great part of arsenical prepa? rations, and conseqcently very injurious to health. The import trade of San Francisco last year was fourteen millions, an increase of over three and a half millions. The exports amount to seventeen and a quarter millions, an increase of nearly three millions. It may not be known to the majority of readers that the great city of London is comprised in an aroa of only 632 acres and a few poles-in fact, the size pf a farm which in the country could be had for a rent offoXX) to ?1000 per annum. Two new revenue cutters for the United States service;are; building at -Greenpomt, and will be launched in a month or two.

The price will go down M such a ?"?Hing off in the demand. : . . ALPHONSO KAJBR, the French poet, was lately present at a medici banquet, at which toasts were given to the health of every celebrity, when the president remarked, "Monsieur KARR, you have not proposed the health of tiny one." The poet road and modestly replied, "I propose the health of tba ?ink." ;? \ - Among the new devices of the day are paper pantabtsfor ladies. -A company has been or? ganized au Mechanics ' Falls, Haine, to manufac? ture borders to ladies' drawers and children's pan? talets-an ornamental appurtenance to be buttoned to the garment, which may be readily replaced when soiled. .-.- ai-*w' The 26th,of April will be celebrated by the Odd Fellows throughout the country as. .a day . of spe < daithanksgivlpg... The observance"will .be in ac-.' '; cordance to instructions from the Grand Sire, and will oaite?jim&ig' fop : pr?servation of the Order, during the war, and its peaceful reunion. Services at tho Colebrook (Ct.) Congregational Church were suspended four weeks in consequence of the snow blockade of the roads. One man dug a tunnel from his ? house twenty-two. feet long, through a drift of ten or twelve feet deep, and has held communication with the outside world for over a fortnight by means of this passage. Under the head of "oppressive," the Valley Vir? ginian siy?^ "FAYETTE MOMTTLLSK is electioneer? ing for the Governorship in the Valley. We have endured PETKPONT and a heap of things, but we humbly pray that a merciful Providence will spare us further afflictions of this kind." A person in Cleveland, who has taken the trouble to gather statistics on the subject, says that dur? ing the last two years the number of people burned to death from kerosene lamp explosions bas been nearly 200, and these disasters have de? stroyed property valued at $6,000,000. The Savannah RepvMcan^ of tko .T2d, says : "We learn from a source entitled to credit that the body of P. man, supposed to have -been murdered, was disc avered in Beaufort District, near the Salt kahatchi? River, about a week or ten days since. One arm was severed from the body, and several gashes were noticed on the body and extremities." Owing to high winds in the Adriatic, Venice has been inundated to an extent which has never been equalled within the memory of any ot' the inhabi? tants. The plaza of San Mark was so flooded that boats and gondolas passed over ic, and the whole of the space, had tho appearance of a 'vast lake. Last Saturday a firm in Portland, Me., received a lot of California flqnr, forty days from San Fran? cisco. Ii came in sacks of fifty and one hundred pounds each, in capital order, the flour being put first into cotton sacks, and then these sacks being placed in gunny bags. Portland papers state that flour can be obtained quicker from San Francisco than it can be from Chicago, railroad facilities from the West being so very poor. Mr. SEWARD, under date of February 13, sends a communication to General SALGAR, the Colombian Minister at Washington, protesting against the decree of MOSQUERA relative to thS adjudication of prizes in the Colombian Courts, as contrary to the laws of nations, and gives his Government notice that as far as the interests of citizens of the United States are concerned, such decrees will bo consid? ered null and void. The Springfield Republican says the State con? stables were on their muscle in that city a few days since. A force of ten officers commenced operations at six o'clock A. M., and continued work until two P. M". Over three thousand gallons of various kinds of intoxicating liquors, valued at eight thousand dollars, were seized-ono man .suffering the loss of eighteen hundred gallons, worth five thousand 'dollars. At several places lager beer was found, but it was not taken. Judge BRIAN MJDLLANPHI, an eccentric gentle? man of wealth, died in St. Louis, of cholera, in 1849, leaving a.i estate for the benefit of emigrants to the "West, which is now valued at over $600,000. A recent report of the commissioners, which lets some light into the administration of the fund, shows that for a period of nearly eix years, ending July. 1st, 1867, the receipts, including a small cash balance from a previous account, were $124,954 24, and the payments $114,737 72. Among the dis-.. Irars^mentR: are. oser $2^000; paid, oui for t?xesi $49,<)00fornu^diiigs,'ana'$6(^ for 'lawyers' f?es,'' tojetaer with $1154 25 itemized as "relief to emi? grants."

SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23,1867. THE KEW RECONSTRUCTION RILL. We lay before our readers this morning tho Bill for the reconstruction of the Southern States, in? troduced by ' Senator SHEEHAN, and amended by Mass?. WILSON and SHELLABARGER. The Bill passed the Senate on Wednesday night, the 20th inst., by a vote of 35 yeas to 7 nays, Mr. BEVEBDY JOHNSON voting yea. The following voted nay : Messrs. BUCKALEW, COWAN, DAVIS, HENDRICKS, NESMTTH. PATTERSON and SAULSBUBY. Absent and not voting : Messrs. ANTHONY, DIXON, DOOUTTLE, GRESTES, GUTHETE, HARRIS, MCDOUGALL, NORTON, NYE, RIDDLE and SPRAGUE. It will be seen that this Bill establishes rruhltary rule in the Southern States, confers suffrage upon the negro, and disfranchises many of our citizens; i. e., all those who are designated in the third sec? tion of the.Constitutional Amendment. Said third section reads as follows: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or Elector of President and vice-President, or hold any office, civil or. military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress or as an officer of the United States, or as a momber of any Slate Legislature, or as an executive or judicial of? ficer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrec? tion or rebellion, or given a>i and comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." This clause, it would seem, was drafted with special reference td Article VI. of the Constitution of the United States, which reads as follows : " The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the 'several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of -the United State:} and the several- State?, shall toa bound by oath or affirmation to support this Con? stitution.'' lids provision has .reference only to Governors, Judges, Chancellors, etc. ; and to such only it would seem tous tho above section Of the Cons ti tut ional Amendment refers. ., ? Of State officers, therefore; this would disfran? chise members ol' the Legislature, the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, the.several Judges and Chan? cellors, but woujdnotjiffectany one else. " Thereare, however, various opinions as to the' meani.:g of this section. The Washington corres pondent of tho Baltimore 'Sun writes a3 foliows: . "As now- constituted, fully one-thirdi'of thei white j mon of the Southern" States will be disqualified, not only fr?nt sitting in the constitutional conven? tions to be aaUed, Lut even from yoting for the members thereof, i Mr. SHERMAN said it would dis? franchiso- . about .. lOyOOO only.: Mr. BUUEAEEW thought 60,000, bat the real number will not fall much short, if any, ?1 itO.OOO. The debate, which j ensued ort the motion to-concur, was lengthy; but not generally of much interest. The two Mas?;;- i chose tts . Senators took directly diverse -gnrana j Mr. SUMNER'wanted all the rebels disfranchised, Mr. WILSON wanted ?very man, white and b?ack, to have the' ballot, all the rebels and all thc ne? groes. Mr. COWAN and Mr. HENDRICKS again stated their objections to the Bili, Mr. Jqawsos, in a brief but most aileeting speech ou the sad and desolate condition of the Southern States; and the utter hopelessness of their being restored to.th6 Union except through tiie consent- and on tho terms of ! Congress, expressed his entire disap? proval of every feature of the-Bill, but so anxious was he to welcome those States back, and diaper? ing of any other method than that indicated by the will ot tho majority, he announced his inten-' tion of voting for the BUL His remarks produced a j profound impression; and Mr. WILSON and other Senators carne up and pressed his hand insilehce." ' : - .._'"' We . do not think the number disfranchised by the imm?diate working of the Bill will be much over 5000; but thia, after all, is of no real impor? tance; ? as* by. tho.spirit both of the Constitutional Amendmen.t..and the.Bill just passed, all who | h?ve in any way jiarticipated in ihe late war against the United States will soon be disfranchised. Truly /this: is - a' sad hour for the ?South; of j humiliation and of bitterness. We can do noth? ing but submit. . Vat pictis is cow at last coming home to us. .. There is now .naturally' great spckjulation as to the probable course of tho Prt-sident. Upon a J careful survey of events at Washington, and a con- j sideration of the various conflicting-statements that have emanated from that quarter within the past few weeks, we have cometo the conclusion that Mr. JOHNSON will give his sanction to this Bill. It is understood that Messrs. SEWARD, STANTON and MCCULLOCH are in favor Cfit, as a basis of set? tlement of the national difficulty. It is known that a number of Democrats voted for it ; among them Senator REVERDY JOHNSON, who is believed tobe entirely in the President's confidence. Th?' President, it is ;said, will do this to secare the peace of the'eountry, while he, at the same time, rids himself of the impeachment spectre, that has so long been harassing him. A few days will de? termine the question. The following is the Bill : Whereas, No legal Slate Governments or ade? quate protection for life or property now exist in the retel States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi? ana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas; and whereas it is necessary, that peace and good order should be enforced in said States until loyal and Republican State Governments can be legally established; therefore, Beit enacted, dc, That said rebel States shall be divided into . military districts, and made sub? ject to tho militarj- authority of the United States, aa hereinafter prescribed, and for that purpose Virginia shall constitute the first district; North Carolina and South Carolina the second district; Georgia, Alabama and Florida the third district; Mississippi and Arkansas tho fourth district, and Louisiana and Texas the fifth district. SECTION 2. That it shall be tho duty of the Presi? dent to assign to ihe command of each of said districts an officer of the army not bslow the rank of Brigadier-General, and to detail a sufficient militar}7 force to enable such officer to perform his duties and enforce his authority within the dis? trict to. which he is assigned. SECTION 3. That it shall be the duty of each offi? cer assigned as aforesaid to protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to sup? press insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punish or cause to be punished all disturbers of the public peaco, and' criminals; and to this cud be may allow local civil tribunals to take jurisdic? tion of and try offenders, or when in his judgment it may be necessary for the trial of offenders, he shall have power to organize military commissions or tribunals for that purpose, and all interference, under color of State authority, with tho exercise of military authority under this Act, shall be null and void. SECTION 4. That all persons put under military arrest by virtue of this Act shall be tried without unnecssary delay, and no cruel or unusual punish? ment shall bo inflicted, and no sentence of any miltiary commission or tribunal hereby author? ized, affecting tho life or liberty of any person, shall be executed until it is approved by the officer in command of tho district ; and the laws and regu? lations for the government of tho prmy shall not be affected by this Act, except in so far as they may conflict with its provisions. SEGKON 5. That when the people of any of said rebel States shall have formed a constitution of j government in conformity with the Constitution J of the Uniled States, in all respects, framed by a convention of delegates elected by the male citi? zens of said State, twenty-one years old and up? ward, of whatever race, color or previous condi? tion, who havo been resident in said State for ono year previous to tho day of such election, except such as may bo disfranchised for participation in tho rebellion or for felony at common law; and when euch constitution shall provide that the elective franchise shall be enjoyed by all such persons as have the qualification herein stated for election of delegates; and when such consti? tution shall ho. ratified by a majority of the persons voting on tho question of ratification who are qualified PS electors for delegates, and when such constitution shall have been submitted to Congress for examination and approval, and Con? gress shall have approved the same ; and when said State, by a vote of its Legislature elected undefsaid oonstitution, shall havo adopted tho amendment to tho Constitution of the United States proposed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and known as Article 14, and when said article shall have become a'part of the Constitution of the United States, said State shall be declared entitled to representation in Congress, and Senators and Representatives shall be admitted therefrom on their taking tho oath prescribed by law, and then and thereafter tho preceding sections of this Act shall be inoperative in said State. Then follows "WILSON'S amendment to this sec? tion : "Provided that no person excluded from tho privilege of holding office by said proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United; States shall.be eligible to election as a -member of tho convention to frame a constitution for any of said rebel Stales, nor shall any such person vote for members of such convention." Mr.. S HELL AU AUGE?.'s amendmont makes sec? tion 6 : "That until the people of the said rebel States shall by law be admitted to representation to Congross of tho United States, any civil govern? ment that may exist therein shall bo deemed pro? visional only, and shall bo in all respects subject to the paramount authority of the United States, at any time to abolish, modify, control, and super? sede the same; and in all elections to . any office under such ? provisional governments all persons shall be entitled to vote, and none others who are entitled to voto under the provisions of the fifth section of this Act. And no person shall be eligi? ble to any office under such provisional govern? ments who would be disqualified from holding office un dor the provisions of the third article of said Constitutional Amendment."
