Cougrcuional. WASHINGTON, January 30.-The Houso ; to-dav recommitted tho proposed cons rita- ! (ional amendment in relation to represen- j tation, with restrictkn-, ti the Ctmmitteo j on Reconstruction, ana afterwards went ? into the consideration of the Senate hill to I enlarge the power of the Freedmen's Br.- j rcan. ? resolution, proposing to extend the ; courtesies of the floor to tho members ! elect from Arkansas, was disagreed to. The Senate was engaged in the discus? sion of the bill giving protection to per? son H in their civil rights (irrespective of color. ) Mr. Trumbull withdrew his amendment i offered yesterday,relative to the declaration j that all persons' of African descent "being | residents of the United States arc citizens I thereof," and substituted one declaring j that any persons of foreign origin may bc ? declared citizens without distinction of j race, color, Ac. THE TRIAL OF EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS. I The Congressmen who believe with a prominent Government official, that "courts-martial arc organized to con? vict," and that Jefferson Davis should be convicted, are impatient at the President's delay in forwarding a re? port prepared-by Judge Holt, show? ing that the deposed rebel ruler was an accomplice in the :issassination of Abraham Lincoln. They are of the opinion that the evidence is so strong as to insure a popular endorsement of their wish to have both Davis and j Clay tried by court-martial and "hung | to a sour apple tree. " or to a gallows- i beam, constructed of some other wood. General Butler, in a speech which he delivered last night before a soldiers' convention, went further, and included Robert E. Lee among those who should suffer death on the gallows. There are others, in Congress and occupying high official positions here, who think that Davis should be tried by the laws of the land, and who are opposed to any more courts-martial, except for the trial of those in the armies or navies of the Union for military offences. Admitting that the laws of the land, as at present con- j atraed, do not perhaps cover the case, i on account of a conflict of opinion, j they seek to so modify and reform the ruling and practice as to insure uniformity and to insure a trial of the great criminal of the age. This bill, now before the Senate, is to be discussed in the Senate, and will be opposed by those who desire that Davis be tried by a military com? mission, as it would insure his trial before a United States Court. It but enacts what is now the doctrine in Illinois and other States, that an opinion based upon rumors, newspa? per reports or common notoriety, is but a hypothetical opinion, which should not exclude a juror, provided the Court is satisfied that he would act impartially. But the passage of this bill will secure the trial of Davis before a civil court, and it will conse ?aently meet with decided opposition. Washiyiglon Cor. N. Y. Commercial. ' 'OTHELLO'S OCCUPATION. ' '-Boston dates of the 25th inst, mention that the thirty-fifth annual meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society was held to-day, Edward Quincy pre? siding. A motion was made to dis? solve the society, now that slavery no longer existed, but was opposed by W. Lloyd Garrison, who declared that there were other and equally high euds to be obtained by the society in the education and amelior? ation of the condition of the negro race. The motion to dissolve was lost, and officers for the ensuing year elected. There is a powerful movement throughout the North-west in favor of free trade and the modification of the protective tariff to a revenue basis. Free trade leagues are being organized in the leading towns and cities. The Chicago league has been fully organized, and the names of many leading citizens of both politi? cal parties appear in the list of of? ficers. Lieut. Gen. Grant has summoned the leading Generals to Washington for tho purpose of holding a council. In addition to hearing from them verbal accounts of affairs in their j several departments, it is said the j Lieutenant-Genprnl ia desirous of consulting them in reference to the ! different features of the new army | bill now before Congress. A late telegram informs us of an? other accident which occurred on the Hodson River Railroad last Saturday, j Two cars, one of which was com- j pletely broken to pieces, were pre? cipitated down an embankment, and I three persons are reported to have j been killed and many seriously in-1 jnred. The Jackson (Miss.) Standard says: j "We heard a freedman, a few days j since, object to eutering into a con? tract with a planter in this County, because the latter would not allow him in the summer months, in the daytime, two hours for sleep, besides usual dinner hour." That darkey fond of his nap. The National Banks in New York, Massachusetts, and other State? "which have more than their appor? tionment of national currency, will probably haye the amounts of notes which they are authorized to issue recalled, in order to effect a fair ap? portionment in the Southern S?Mws. , -?.? - i Ex-Governor Rollins died in *exx I Orleans on the 30th. Both Houses of the Legislature adjourned over in honor of his memory. Washington K?w? ?nd Rumor?. INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION. The Commissiouer of Internal Re? venue has decided that inland and domestic bills of lading are not sub? ject to stamp duties as such. Most of them, however, contain an agreement of contract; and when such is the case, they requin? a five cent stamp on each sheet or piece of paper on which they are written. "When they contain no agreement, and are simply receipts for the delivery of the pro? perty, a two cent stamp is sufficient. It has ?Iso been decided that manu? facturers will not be held liable to au ad valorem tax on the entire value of the satinets which they make from warps, but will be allowed, as hereto? fore, to deduct the cost or value of such warps before the tax is assessed. CAPTURED AND ARANDONED COTTON. The records of the Treasury De? partment show that from March, 1863, ? up to August, 1865, abandoned and captured cotton, valued at $5,744,000, ? was seized by the Government iii the Valley of the Mississippi. Of this amount, $3,300,0C0 has been paid into the Department, the remainder having been transferred to the origi? nal owners of the cotton, which, to that amount, had been improperly seized. MUTILATING FURNITURE AT THE PRESI? DENT'S HOUSE. To-day, three respectably dressed women were detected at the Execu? tive Mansion clipping pieces from the curtains. They were arrested and taken to the police station-house. Such thefts have been of such fre? quent occurrence that au officer is constantly in attendance to restrain such larcenies. SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN RETURNING TO THEIR HOMES. The Southern Congressmen elect have become satisfied that there is no present,intention of giving them a speedy admission, and are preparing to return to their homes. The Louisi? ana delegation will leave early next week, and be followed by that of Vir? ginia soon after. Sl'EECH OF SENATOR HOWE. The Senate has been occupied almost the entire day in Ustening to Senator Howe's speech upon his reso? lution for the establishment of pro? visional governments in the Southern States. This is the second effort of the gentleman in the above behalf, and, like the first, fairly out-Herods Herod in the extremity of its propo? sitions. In brief, Mr. Howe holds that the Southern country represents simply a conquered province, with nothing in the semblance of States save land and people, and that it be? longs to Congress to undo the work of restoration commenced by the President, the South to be put upon probation until, in the judgment of both Houses, she is sufficiently peni? tent to subscribe to the radical ritual in this case made and provided. The Senator very earnestly asseverates that he spoke solely for himself in the advancement of those views, but later avowed a warm coalition with the Sumner faction. The speech occupied about three hours, but failed to secure the reference of the resolution to the Judiciary Commit? tee. As Mr. Howe is a zealous man, this lack of success will, in all proba? bility, necessitate another series of remarks at sonni future day. THE FREEDMAN'S BUREAU BILL. Reverdy Johnson moved a recon? sideration of the Freedman's Bureau bill to-day, again setting forth the justice of considering the plea of South Carolina against the location of lands for occupancy of freedmen in that State. This protest has been couched in an official letter from the Governor of South Carolina to the President, and was transmitted a few days since at the "hands of a special messenger. The yeas and nays were called upon the motion to reconsider, and it was lost by a vote of 22 to 18. It is believed that tho communication referred to was sent in to the Senate, to-day, by the President, along with other documents. As an executive session was held before adjournment, it is probable that the matter was then called up. THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS. Letters from influential conserva? tives in the New England States are pouring into the city, urging their Senators and Representatives to avoid a rupture with tho Executive, and to abide, as far as possible, by the policy he has seen fit to mark out for the restoration of the Union. ROTATION IN OFFICE. There aro vague hints that the ex? ecutioner's block is soon to be intro? duced into some of the public de? partments in Philadelphia, but the President, with his usual reticence, does not let fall a word as to whom the victims will bo. THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS OUT-NEG RC SUFFRAGE AND SOUTHERN REPRESEN? TATION. The President, yesterday, in con? versation with the Hon. Mr. Law? rence, of Pennsylvania, asked tin following question: "Would you bi justified, as Governor of Pennsylva? nia, or I, as Governor of Tennessee, in signing a bill passed by the Stat< Legislature, against which r.ine tenths of the people of the State hac entered their protest?" Ho then re marked that he considered placed ii just the position he had indicated to ward the people of this District. [ Washington Cor. New York News. mar number of leading Pennsylva Coifls* including seven members o prJigre.ss, had an interview with th? Resident last night. It lasted fo: cai* hours, and the prominent politi questions in Congress were ?lis Y cussed. The interview was very cor? dial. The President reiterated his opi? nion that Congress should admit the rebellious States to representation. He thought the passage of the negro suffrage bili was untimely, but did not intimate any purpose to veto it. [ lr oakington Cor. New York Post. JUSTICE IN SWEDEN.-Mr. Lindahl, the editor of the Frederneslaudet, a newspaper published in Stockholm, has been recently condemned to death by the axe, for having falsely and with evil intentions accused Mlle. Mendelsshon of an infamous crime. His counsel, Mr. C. G. Uggla, has been condemned to one month's imprisonment, and to the interdiction, for having, with full knowledge, undertaken the defense of an unjust cause. The Washington National Intelli? gencer, learns that an order from the War Department, countermanding the muster out of certain troops in Virginia, was in turn countermanded by the President, who has directed that the troops in question be mus? tered out. An exploring party, sent by Maxi? milian into the interior of Mexico, found, in the midst of a large forest, thc ruins of a city built long before the time of Cortez. This city is of considerable extent, having its streets paved with polished stone. Many fine specimens of architecture were found. The Commercial's "Washington spe? cial says the Revenue Commissioners will recommend the abolition of taxes on watches, phi^ carriages and other articles on the schedule. They disapprove of the substitution of the tax on salas for the present income tax. The Lynchburg Virginian states thct a private letter from J. A. Early, written at Havana, the 23d of Decem? ber, states that he would sail from that place the next morning for Vera Cruz, and go thence to the city of Mexico. ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SE? NATORS.-Alexander H. Stephens was elected to the United States Senate from Georgia, on the 30th. Mr. Ste? phens did not consent to the use of his name. Herschel V. Johnson was elected on sixth ballot as his col? league. It is stated in the Western papers that Gen. Ord has left Detroit for New Orleans, for the purpose, it is suposed, of succeeding Gen. Canby in the command of the Gulf Depart? ment, the latter taking the Adjutant Generalship of the army. Au exchange truly says that "you may insert a thousand excellent things in a newspaper, and never hear a word of approbation from its readers; but just let a line or two not suited to their taste slip in, (though by accident,) and yon will be sure to hear of it." FIRE IN HAMBURG.-A fire broke out this morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, in the iow of wooden build? ings, situated on River street, Ham? burg, near the bridge, which destroy? ed, in a short time, seven or eight of the buildings. [Augusta Constitutionalist, 28th. A despatch from Washington states that the reconstruction committee of fifteen have agreed to report in favor of a constitutional amendment allow? ing Congress to regulate the elective franchise within the States. The Kentucky Senate has passed a bill to incorporate a bank in Louis? ville, tobe controlled by negroes. The bank is prohibited from having any connection with the Freedman's Bureau. -- . The editor of a country paper says that he felt called upon to publish father Lewis' sermon on the "Locality of Hell," as it was a question in which nearly all its readers were deeply interested. The people of Columbus, Georgia, propose raising subscriptions for the purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of the Confederate officers and privates from that city who fell in the late war. Gen. Sheridan, acting under orders from Washington, refuses to "How emigrants for Mexico to leave New Orleans, but does not prevent vessels from clearing. The bridges on the Western and Atlantic Railroad have been repaired. Cars passed through to Chattanooga l on the 23d, and trains are now run ning regularly as heretofore between Atlanta and Chattanooga. In Alabama, this week, a law goes into effect prohibiting any person of color from owning or carrying fire- ! arms, uner a vonalty of three months' 1 Imprisonment and $100 fine. -.<r^ AU the funds of the Fenians are 1 said to have been turned over to Gen. Sweeny, with the understanding +hat he shall expend tho same for the pur? chase of arms. The general statement throughout the country appears to be, that while contracts are being entered into, the supply of labor is not equal to the de? mand. The largest crop of corn ever raised in the West was produced during 1865. It is used extensively as a substitute for coal, and makes a hotter fire. Corn is now selling in Chicago for thirty-seven cents per bushel, which is cheaper as fuel than coal at ten dollars per ton. There is a child in Staunton seven I weeks old, which weighs one pound I and a half. When bom it could be put in a tea-cup, and then weighed only half a pound. Tho little Lilli? putian is "doing well." We see it stated that B. Wells, late private secretary of detective Baker, has been imprisoned at Chicago for stealing overcoats. There is only one right reserved to the South, the radicals think, vi;: : the right to complain. Counting Ho?nc Calendar Tor ?S??. Ju. Ffb. Har.
