IMPORTANT MODIFICATIONS 07 THE RECONSTRUC? TION SCHEME-ANOTHER BLOW TO BB STRUCK AT CIVIL GOVERNMENT AT THE SOUTH-THE COTTON CROP-CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. WASHINGTON, January ll.-The House Com? mittee on Reconstruction thi? afternoon agreed upon a bill to be repoi ted on Monday, declaring that there are no civil governments in the lately rebellious States, and that the provision? al governments shall not be recognized as valid or legal, either by the executive or ju? dicial authorities of the United States. I order to secure the speedy enforcement cf the seve? ral reconstruction laws, the general cl the army is authorized rn remove all officers now employed and appoint others for the perform? ance of all acts required by these statutes, to the end that the people of the said several States may speedily organize civil govern manta, under a republican form, and be re? stored to their political power in the Union. The General of the anny is also em? powered to remove all civil officers and appoint 1 others in their places. So much of the recon- , s traction acts as authorizes the President to . detail the military commanders or remove oth? ers is repealed. The billdeclares that it is un- ' lawful for the President to order any part of the army or navy to assist, by force of arms, , the military of those provisional governments to oppose or obstruct the authority of the ! United States. The bm farther declare? that the interference by any person, with intent to . pr avent by force, the execution of the orders of 1 tne General of the army shall be held to be a high misdemeanor, and that the party guilty thereof, on conviction, shall be fined not ex- ( ceeding five thousand dollars, and imprisoned t not exceeding two years. The bill repeals all parts of the reconstruction acts inconsistent with the above provisions. Mr. Stevens voted against the bill in committee of the whole, as- - serting that it was intended to elect Grant. 1 COTTON ESTIMATES. 1 The Agricultural Department promulgates the following returns relative to cotton, which indicate fully twenty per cent aggregate in? crease over the crop. of last year. The actual crop of 1866, as sold and shipped, making due . allowance for the receipts of the previous crop \ and the amount not sent forward on the first of September, 1867, was very near one million . nine hundred thousand bales, while the esti mate of this Department in October, 1866, was , one million eight hundred and thirty-five thou- , sand bales. The total estimates, in view of all the Department data as well as outside infor? mation, is placed at two million three handled and forty thoasand bales.

Georgia State Convention-Humored Removal of Governor Jenkins. ATLANTA, January IL-The convention was almost exclusively occupied during the day's session in debating a series of resolutions peti? tioning Congress to remove the present State officers or give the convention power to do so, with authority to fill the vacancies thus made. The convention adjourned pending the discus? sion. A general order appeared from General Meade this morning validating an ordinance to stay collection of debts in Alabama up to the first of January, 1869, except claims for labor and hire, adopted by the late convention in that State. Validation to take effect from to ?&j, and further ordering that the several offi 'cers, judicial and otherwise, in Alabama re?pect and obey this order. ? similar order ia looked tor as to this State, when the convention adopts a permanent relief ordinance.

NEW ORLEANS, January ll.-In General Or? ders No. 3, to-day, General' Hancock gives a memorandum and questions vhloh were dis? tributed from the Headquarters of the Fifth District, in May last, whieh we;e calculated to produce the impression in registration boards, that they were rulos for their guidance, and were so regarded,- and in point of fact contract? ed the actions of such boards. General Han? cock informs a Board of Begistr it ion that these memoranda and questions art null and void and of no effect, and that boards are to look to the laws alone for rules to govorn them in the discharge of their duties. Fo:- this purpose, they will be furnished with copies of the acts of Congress relative to this subject. The fair grounds were closed to-day on ac? count of the inclemency of thc weather. General Mower has been ordered to report to General Buchanan for duty with his regi? ment. The convention, in last night's session, adopted articles sixty-six to soventy-two, dis? posing of State officers. To-day it proceeded to the jtidicary, disouss ing the Supreme Court question, and adjourn? ed without accomplishing anything. Mississippi State Convention.

DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF COAL.-A New York letter of Wednesday SI.VB: "Most descrip? tions of coal continue to decline in value. At the regular monthly sale jf Scranton, 40,000 tons were disposed of as follows: 6000 tons lump, $3 25a3 621; 7000 tons steamboat, $3 50a 3 72j; 8000 tons grate, $8 ?2Ja3 67*; 4000 tons egg, $3 90a$4; 9000 tons stove, $5 :i2Ja5 2,7*; 6000 tons chesnut, $3 57a3 65. Compared with tho previous sales these figures show a falling off of 2Sj cents in lump, 114 cents in steamboat, 32$ cents grate, 40 centB in egg, 164 cents in chesnut, but an increase cf 7j cents in stove. The attendance of the trade was fair, but the disposition to purchase wiis not very marked. Many factories and other establishments that usually consume a great c eal of coal are now closed, and this fact, no doubt, has muon to do with the depression of t lejnarket." The Freedmen's Burean. General Howard baa made his annual report respecting the operations of the Freedmen's Burean for the past year, which presents the following results : Twenty-eight citizen agents and forty-eight officers of the volunteer service have been replaced by officers of the regular army, and a farther reduction of the bureau force will be made when registration in the South is completed. The bureau still holds possession of 950 pieces of town property and 215,021 acres of | farm land. Transportation has been furnished to 778 refugees and 16,931 freedmen, at an ex? pense of $102,098.99. During the year 6987 white refugees and 103,593 freedmen have been treated by the medical department of the bu? reau; the mortality among the former being 167 and of the latter 3679. From the 1st Sep? tember, 1866, to the same date 1867, the aver? age number of rations issued per month was 349,7644. The amount of supplies furnished was 850, 388 pounds of pork and bacon, and 6,809,296 pounds of corn, the number of rations issued having been 692,548 to refugees, and 3,504,629 to freedmen. The report speaks hopefully of j the progress of education among the colored people, which has been at an expense during the year of $220,833. It concludes with the following recommendations: 1. To discontinue the relief afforded by the Freedman's Bureau, if possible, when the tenn of the bureau shall expire by law, except in tile educational work, and in the settlement of suoh claims for back pay and bounty to colored sol diere as may remain at that time unsettled. 2. To transfer the educational work'of the bureau to the department of education, or to some other permanent United States agency, which shall have ample power to sustain and extend the present system, and also the trans? fer to suoh agency of all bureau fonds unex? pended next July. 8. To it once transfer the buildings erected for schools for refugees and freedmen upon land purchased by regularly incorporated in? stitutions of learning, to the several corporate bodies having these institutions in charge, upon condition that they shall continue the work of education therein, and never exclude any person on account of race or color. Things In Washington. GRANT'S PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS DAMAGED BY THE "HIRAM" HANDLE TO HIS NAHE-WHAT THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WOULD DEVELOP -THE CON HER V ATI VE PRESIDENTIAL CONVEN? TION-THE PROGRAMME OF THE SOUTHERN WHITES TN REGARD TO IT-FURTHER CON? GRESSIONAL INTERPOSITIONS ANTICIPATED-A BADIOAL CAUCUS. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette, writes under date of January-9 : However absurd it may seem, yet I am as? sured that the prospects of Grant have been essentially damaged Dy the recent development that his real name is not " U. 8.," but " Hiram ?J. Grant." The author of the biographical sketch of his life lately published has, in other respects, done bim serious injury. Perhaps no man's career is less interesting in incidents groper to be divulged. Besides, it has served > draw public attention to the General's an? tecedents ; and in unfriendly, or even impar? tial, hands a sketch of his doings and say? ings before and during the war would not add much to his availiability as a Presidential candidate. Of course snob strictures will be out of place until he shall have been formally presented for public scrutiny. When he shall nave accepted the infamous Radical platform of negro supremacy, he must expect to have his whole conduct, military, civil and social, laid bare to an admiring, or, it may be, to a disgusted world. It is understood that the unrepresented States will send delegates to the Conservative Presidential Convention. I also learn that it is in contemplation by the whites of the South to hold separate elections for Presidential electors, and tojdisregard the Reconstruction acts in tb is respoct. The President is under? stood to favor this movement. In a certain contingency the moral effect at least would be potent indeed. With an actual united South, and a majority of the Northern States, Con gress would not dare to inaugurate a Presi dent upon the strength of the negro vote. There is no longer any doubt but that Con gress win pass some law by which the govern? ments of the Southern States will be usurped at once. I learn that it has also been determined to declare the constitutions enacted by the ne? groes operative without a confirmatory vote of the people. The passage of Senator Morton's resolution to-day looking towards these ends was only prevented, it is thought, by the expi ration of the morning hour. In other respects the proceed,nga of Congress were without special political interest. An informal caucus of several Radical Sena? tors was held yesterday morning to decide upon some definite amendment to the Recon? struction bill. The most extreme Senators ad vooated passing a simple bill abolishing all civil State Governments in the South, and commence the entire work of reconstruction over again, but putting tho new plan in Buch shape that it would not be in the power of the President to interfere with the work. This, however, was not agreed to, and the meeting broke up without coming to any definite con elusion. THE RADICALS AND RECONSTRUCTION-MORE TINKERING AND CHANGES PROPOSED. The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more Sun Bays: The Radical onslaught on Gen. Hancock for vindicating the civil power has commenced in good earnest. Senator Morton led off in the attack to-day his resolution peremptorily in? structing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill abolishing instanter all the existing gov? ernments in the Southern States being under discussion in the Senate. He took as his text Gen. Hancock's order No. 1, and charged the gallant soldier with insolently defying Con? gress and nullifying the legislation which it was his duty to promote. There is no doubt whatever of tho resoluto purpose of the dominant party in Congress to press to the bitter end with their scheme of | reconstruction a perpetual Radical supremacy in the South, and as soon as may be a bill of | the character indicated by Mr. Morton's reso? lution will be pushed through both Houses. The prominent Radicals here are impatient at the tardy working of their reconstruction acts, and insist upon such additional measures as will at once turn over to the negroes and thoir white allies the supreme control of tho entire internal governments of tho Southern States. They say it will not do to wait for the ratifica? tion of the work of the constitutional conven? tions now sitting. WHAT THE SUPREME COURT WILL DO. A Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune says: There was a rumor around the capitol to-day that the Supreme Court was about to render a decision declaring the Reconstruction acts unconstitutional. On inquiry, however, it was ascertained that the case which involves the validity of these laws has not yet been con? sidered by the court. The facts are as follows : An appeal is taken from a court in Mississippi, where a writ of habeas co:pus was refused. The papers are now on tho file in Washington ; but tho' case has not yet been assigned a place on the calendar. It is stated that the Attor? ney-General refused to act as couneel or ap? pear at all in connection with the matter, being of the opinion that the laws arc uncon? stitutional, and that the appeal is well taken. The Acting Secretary of War has boon- re 3nested to procure counsel to appear and argue ie case when it comos on for trial, which will be in a very short time. Tho subject excites a good deal of attention, and derives additional interest from the fact that thc Attorney-Gene? ral gave it as hid opinion, at tho New Orleans Banquet last evening, that the lawB were un? constitutional and would bc so declared. Munchausen ia outdone by a fireman who describes how he rescued a child from a burn? ing house. He was on tho fourth door and fire had cut off all means of escapo inside. The fireman called to the man who held the hose to turn on his largest stroam. When tho stream reached the window the fireman took the child in o>je arm, and clasping his legs and his free arra round the stroam, slid safely down to tho pavement.

Diston, an Englishman, who. for some ten or fifteen years, has been teaching the young idea how to shoot in Wil? liamsburg and Sumter Districts, shot himself with a pistol at Hingstree, rousing his instant death.

McDonald and McCurry was entered and robbed of goods to a considerable amount The entrance was effected by cutting the bolts of three doors with a large chisel, which the robbers left on the counter. The hour at which Hie robbery was committed (being; about daylight,) renders it one of great boldness. A freedman who lived near by, hearing a noise, bub supposing it some one gathering wood, paid no attention io it at first, but afterwards got up, and upon going out, saw "two large black negroes," each with a bag, emerging ?rom the store ; and upon giving chase, one of them dropped his hag, and with the other made his escape attempts to break into stores, have been ?re quent of late, but so far as we learn, this has been the only suooessflul one.

THE LATE BISHOP HOPKINS or VKBMONT. We have already had the telegraphic announce- , ment of the death of Bishop Hopkins, of Ver- , mont, at his residence, near Burlington, in : that State. Bishop Hopkins was senior Bishop of the Episcopal Church. He was born in Dublin on tho 30th of January, 1792, and was therefore in the seventy-sixth year of his age at the time of his decease. He was intended for the law, but . after receiving a classical education he passed a year in a counting-room in Philadelphia. In his nineteenth year he commenced the manu? facture of iron in Pennsylvania, and fire years ? later married a daughter of Caspar Otto Mu?- i 1er, a retired merchant of Baltimore. Having lost all his means by the prostration of the iron t trade, consequent upon the peace of 1815, ho turned his attention to the law, and in 1818 was : admitted to the bar in Pittsburg. After pur- 1 suing his profession for several years he enter- i ed the ministry, and when ordained was i chosen, in 1824, rector of Trinity Church, , Pittsburg, whero he Boon became prominent. In tho Diocesan Convention of 1827, he was nominated for tho office of Assistant ' BiBhop of Pennsylvania, Dr. H. U. Onderdonk i being the opposing candidate The votes be- ] ing equally dividod, Mr. Hopkins cast his vote , for Mr. Onderdonk, and thus secured the elec? tion of the latter. In 1831 Mr. Hopkins was called to Trinity Church, Boston, an assistant ' minister, and was chosen soon afterwards Pro- i f essor of Systematic Divinity in the Theological i Seminary in that State. In the spring of 1832 ? he was elected first Bishop of Vermont, serving 1 at the same time as rector of St. Paul's Church, Burlington. lu 1836 he resigned his rector? ship to devote himself more unreservedly to the charge of the diocese, and to the building up of the Vermont Episcopal Institute. Last year Bishop Hopkins attended the Pan Angli? can Synod, hold at London. He was all his Ufe a diligent student and a prolific writer. In . his latter days his sympathy with .the South gained him many warm admirers in that sec- i tion, but brought him into corresponding . odium at the North. His work entitled "A Defence of Slavery," is the one by which he 1 is best known to the generality of readers. 1 THE DISCOVERIES IN JEBUSALESL-The Lon- , don Times publishes an interesting letter in i regard to tho discoveries in progress at Jeru- ; salem, from which we select the following: Tho colossal foundations of tho temple wall, 1 which are "stones of ton cubits and stones of eight cubits." laid by Solomon or his succes? sors on tho tnrono, are now being laid bare at the enormous depth of ninety feet and more i beneath thc present surface. The bridge that once spanned the ravine between the palace on Zion and the templo on Moriah is now proved to have been upwards of ono hundred and fifty feet high. If this bo, as it seems, the ascent to tho house of the Lord whioh Solo? mon showed to tho Queen of Sheba, we can? not wonder that, on seeing it, there WBB no spirit in her. The pinnacle of the temple on which the tempter placed the Saviour, has just been uncovered to thc baso, and is found still to have an elevation of one hundred and thirty six feet. The statement of Josephus is there? fore no exaggeration. "If any one looked from the battlements into the valley he would be giddy, while his sight could not reach to such an immense depth. Sections of the an? cient walls of Ophel have been exhumed, show? ing that, as Josephus says, it was joined to the southeast angle of the temple. Aqueducts, cisterns, rock-hewn channels and passages have also been discovered within ana around the harem, throwing new light on the build? ings, the arrangements, and the services of the temple. The great work of a complete ex? ploration of ancient Jerusalem is thoa fairly and auspiciously commenced.
