Congrrtuionat. WAsnrxoTox, Juno 13. In Mn- Senate, ! Mr. Doolittle called up tho resolution of? fered by him yesterday, requesting Jhe President to com) omicate to the Senate any information in his possession relative ; to the departure of Austrian troops from Mexico. He ?aid he had reasons to believe ; the above would bring information of very j satisfactory clraractfer, and felt confident j that Mexico was about to he evacuated hy , the French troops. The resolution w as I adopted. The legislative appropriation ! bill was eonaidercd. The Hom.c proceeded to the considera- I tion of the constitutional amendment as reported from the Reconstruction Com- ; raittee, which heretofore passed the ; House, and waa amended by tho Senate, j Referring to the b:isis. ol' representation, : repudiation of the Confederate debt, etc., j Mr. Stevens proposed, and the House at- i tempted, to debate the subject for a short i time-speeches being limited each to tit' toed minutes. Mr. Stevens closed the de bate by sayiug that the amendments were j not such as he desired, as they did not re- ; cognize the right of black nicn to vote. He, however, said that something might he done ou this subject in future le gialation. He took occasion to stigmatize the President aH a usurper in undertaking to establish civil government in the se- ' ceding States. Under his demand for the previous question, the House concurred in the Senate's amendments to thc constitu? tional amendment, hy a vote of 120 to 32. The Speaker, therefore, announced the passage of the joint resolution. Several | gentlemen announced thc reasons for the absence of their colleagues, who, they say, if present, would have voted for the propo? sition. Mr. Eldridge, as a take-o? upon those gentlemen, said thu t, if Brooks and Voorhees had not been unseated, thoy would have voted against the proposition". [Laughter.] Mr. Schenck retorted hy say? ing that he had no donbt if Jeri. Davis was a member of the House, he, too, would have voted against the amendment. ; [Laughter.] On the Republican side, : tue vote consolidated tho Republicans i of every shade, including Smith, of Ken - I tucky, Raymond, of New York, SVhaley ituil j Lathrop, of West Virginia. Thc negative was eonipoaed wholly of decided Demo? crats. The proposed constitutional amend? ment will now bo submitted to the Logis-I lat urea of tho respective states for their ; action. Mr. Stevens pro J. JSCI! ? substituto . for the pending bdl, as reported hy thc ; Reconstruction Committee, to enable the States lately in rebellion to regain their privileges in the Union. The material ?oint in the substitute is thc admission ol enncssee, with her present Senators ami -Representatives, but she is hereafter to bo excluded unless, before tho 1st of January, she extends thc right of suffrage impar? tially to every class, besides ratifying'the. constitutional amendment to which refer? ence is above made. ? - . ... > --tv*-*- -. - Market Reports.

JUDGE UNDERWOOD AS A NEOEO SELLER.-The Warrenton Index copies from the records of Fanquier County a part of an answer to a bill in chancery, which answer was filed in 1853 by Underwood, and in which the Judge "insisted that in making distribution of the personal estate | referred to in said bill, the share of the slaves which may be allotted to 1 the said Flora V. Floreo shall be sub? jected to the paymentof the said Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson's share of said debt." Parries from the North are to put I up 500 neat dwelling-houses at New? port News. Newport News was, for a- long time, an important point ! during military operations on the Peninsula, lt is nt the juncture of ' James Uiver and Hampton Roads, und was the scene of the engagement between tho Merrimac and the fri? gates Cumberland and Congress. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston was in Atlanta, on Friday. Generals Steed- i man and Fullerton were at Macon, ' Ga., on the samo day, looking after i the Freedmen's Bureau - Kn mp run Congres*. J?T .1 As this body will' -convene shortly,. we take the following article from the London Times as to its character, and as tb what it can and cannot do: No general war ever breaks ont in Europe without being preceded by a proposal emanating from-some, quar? ter or other to refer all matters in dispute to. a congress. - Everybody always professes his readiness to em? bark in it, bntvnobody wiU undertake to abide by its decisions. It is an admirable means for gaining time, and for investing extravagant and overbearing proposals with a spuri? ous and delusive semblance of mode? ration; but it is the most unlikely way in tho world to solve any serious and envenomed difficulty. If, in? deed, the congress were prepared, as is said to lravo been suggested by the Emperor of Russia, to enforce by arms its decisions against dissenting members, a machine would be pro? vided ready to the hands of an am? bitious power which might work re? sults ns disastrous to the liberties of Europe as the Amphictyonic Coun cil under the presidency of Philip of Macedon did to the liberties of an? cient Greece. But though the deci? sion of a congress might possibly be suggested by jnstice, the execution ol them would infallibly be dictated by policy, and we shonld probably not have long to wait before we wit? nessed as gross an abnseof the power of carrying ont tho general decree as that which Austria and Prussia ex? hibited when they undertook to act as the agents of tho Germanic (Jon federation in the. case of Denmark. A congress ia often an excellent means of giving effect to rights which have been previously established by an appeal to arms. It can reduce into form and give permanence to the well-ascertained resulte of victory and defeat. But when countries carry their preparations for war to such lengths as Prussia, Austria and Italv have now done, they must look foi tho adjustment of their rights ant] the "settlement of their qnarrel to ar agency more efficient than that of ar European congress. They can, ii they please, draw back from the ex treme pretensions they have pat for ward, and assume again thc tone o: moderation they have discarded; bm we shall require much stronger cvi dence than anything which hits ye come to our hands before we believi that Austria, for instance, will sub mit her right to Venetia to an Eu copean congress; that Italy after having given Garribaldi a coiumam and called upon the revolutionary party to aid her, can undo all thea* things, and wait patiently for th tardy decision of a conclave of diplo matists. We sincerely hope we ar> mistaken, but it would seem ?vs if al parties had been careful to clos against themselves this loop-hole o escape. An intimation i rom the Em perdr of the French that he is i: earnest opposed to the war, and wi! take a definite and intelligible cours immediately against the first nggrei sion on its breaking ont, would hav more effect than the deliberation c any European congress. Wc hay no doubt that he possessed th power, had he chosen to use it, t prevent the storm. It may be question whether it has not now ai quired dimensions which even h: skill is tmable to subdue. lt is not generally known, su3Ts Washington correspondent, tin Senator Sumner is, and has been, f< six or ?-ight weeks, suffering serious] from a recurrence of the eerebr and nervous troubles caused by tl bludgeon ot" Brooks ten years ag' He is unable to perform continuel and severe mental labor. Powerf anodynes alone bring him sleep. JI physicians say that he has overtask* his brain and needs rest. The Augusta Constitutionalist, yesterday, 13th inst., says: J. j Bryant, editor of the [?oyal Georgia was arrested, yesterday, by the cv authorities, for attempting to def rai negroes out of money hired fro them while au officer of the Crover ment. Ile gave bail for his relea; R. A. Harper, a colored man, becoi ing his security. One Warner, of New Orleax whose photographic gallery w burned, on the 12th, and was heavi insured, was, with his wife, after lengthy investigation, at the deina of the insurance-"companies, by t fire inspector, committed for arse .T.wicer previously, ?Ir.

A serious proposition hus fcbt made to Head-Centre Stephens unite with Santa Auna, for the pi pose of founding an Irish Eepnt in Mexico. The Canada enrollar are to be solved before the origil proposition is demonstrated. The London Times assails 1 American radicals for their war President Johnson, and their p posed policy towards the South, i cluing that langland cannot sym thi/e with them. Tho National Intelligencer has latest news as to the President's p lion. It represents him as oppo to all conditions precedent to the mission of loyal representatives the Southern States. Fran Washington. - AN INFAMOUS SCHEME FOB OPPRESSING THE SOUTH. To carry into-effect the constitu? tional amendment as it passed the Senate, it is now proposed to frame a concurrent resolution binding each house not to admit any rep? resentative from any one of tue excluded States until the State shall formally adopt the terms of the proposed amendment. The bill re-. ?ported from the Committee of Fif? teen for this purpose would be ve? toed. .It is necessary, therefore, to Kit it in the same form by which the epublican canons resolution was passed at the opening of the session, . and thus evade the veto. No Senator or Representative from a seceded State, even if prepared to take the iron-clad oath, can therefore be ad? mitted to a seat, even after the con? stitutional amendment shall have received the ratification of twenty seven States, unless bis State shall have accepted the terms as a condi? tion precedent to its representation, either in whole or in part. Senator Johnson, in his able speech against the proposed amendment, declared that no Southern State would ratify it.-Cor. Ballimore Sun. THE VAJAMTY OF THE CTvTL RIGHTS BILL AGAIN CALLED Hf QUESTION. Tho validity of the civil rights hill has been again called in question by one Justice Watkins, of Sandy Hook, Md., in the case of a charge of rape made by a colored woman in behalf of her daughter against a white man. The justice decided that the evi? dence of a white witness was neces? sary before he could take cognizance of the affair. The case was first re? ported to the War Department, and by it referred to the proper authority for investigation. AN OFFICER OF MAXIMILIAN'S STAFF IN WASHINGTON. Count Resugnrier, who hails from Austria, but who, it has been ascer? tained, is an officer on the staff of Maximilian, and here in the interest of the Maximilian Government in Mexico, has been stopping at Wil? lard's for the past few days. He is reported to have had since his arrival frequent interviews with the Assist? ant Secretary of State and many of thc Committee on Foreign Affairs. CONGRESS ON SATURDAY. The Senate was not in session. In the House, the Speaker pre? sented a letter from tho Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting a state? ment of the amount paid members of the Thirty-eighth Congress. The total amount paid Senators is $423, - 836; Representatives, $1,464,160. The Oregon member, Mr. McBride, re? ceived for mileage $12,531; Mr. Wal? lace, of Idaho, $12,834;Senator John? son, of Maryland, $67.50. Mr. Boutwell gave notice that, on Wednesday next, the Senate amend? ments to the constitutional amend ' menta would be called up for action by the House. NATIONAL FAIR FOR ORPHANS. The National Fair for the Orphans continues to be a great success. Last night it was crowded to overflowing. In the voting for the Generals to receive the sword, Gen. Howard still seems to be far ahead. THE OLD SCHOOL PRESBYTERIAN I ASSEMBLY.-The New York News, of j the 11th, has the following note: I A radical subscriber to the St. I Louis Republican, who is angry with the editor of that paper for having given a "gross insult" tn the "loyal body of the Old School Presbyterian General Assembly and others," in a late issue, has written a note to the editor demanding that his linnie be erased from tho subscription books of the Republican. Whereupon the editor expresses his regret at the un? fortunate occurrence, but insists that ! the "majority of the Old School I Presbyterian Convention were a I shabby set of canting, puritanical, 1 hypocritical, political demagogues, nevertheless." The Republican is candid, certainly, and the Old School Presbyterians must put np with thc unflattering likeness, the result of ! too much friendly officiousness. HARPER'S ILLUSTRATIONS -GENERAL SCOTT.-The New York World says: "Harper's Weekly insults the pub lie and the memory of Oeueral Scott, with a sheet full of hideous pictures j purporting to represent the scenes of ! the death-bed and the grave of Gene j ral Scott. They are without excep j tion disgusting blotches, disgraceful to American art and enterprise, lt is j to be hoped that some artist from the : London Illustrated Neus was present, ; that a historic event may not go I down ligured only-in the villainous ! blotches of Harp./s Weekly.'" - ? ? ? ? in the United States District Court recently before Judge (ides, Philip Cashmeyer, under indictment for treason, appeared and pleaded guilty ; to the said indictment, and pleaded the pardon of the President of *hc United States, which he exhibited to the court, and having complied with ; the conditions mentioned in said pardon, he was ordered by the court to be discharged. Philip Cashmeyer : was well known in Richmond during ; the war as one of (Jen. Winder's j detectives. It is said that advices have been ' received from Paris that the Emperor '. Napoleon repudiates having in any : way been cognizant of tho proposi? tions of Austria tu send troops te j Maximilian, and he repeats his de I termination to withdraw the French ! troops from Mexico DANGEB TO THE THRONES FROO? WAR.-The London TW??, pf May 26, says: We have mach . to hope from the strong disposition of tho greater part of Europe for peace. Of the temper of the Germans it is un? necessary to speak,, and the French are scarcely less unwilling to see war again break out. A great, if a gra? dual, change in their character has long been in progress, and the nation which for so many years was the terror of Europe, is now-as a nation--devoted to thc pursnits of peace. The finance of the Empire has given almost every individual an interest in the imperial funds, and railway and other stock is held very largely by every class of the popula? tion. The savings of every one, whether tradesman, artisan, or pea? sant, have been imperrilled by the fall in all kinds of securities since the first rumors of war. The people see with apprehension the in? terruption of commerce and commu? nication. The cause of Italy has never been so popular as might have been expected from a past alliance and the remembrance of common victories, and Prussia has never recovered in France the memories of 1814 and 1815. The Emperor Napoleon, too, as well as the other sovereigns of the Continent generally, may well 6ee with concern the dimensions and the direction which this conflict is taking. The Italian Government has called popular enthusiasm to its aid, and, in continenttd parlance, allied itself with the revolution. Tho King of Prussia is talking about universal sufirage, and a radical reform in the German Constitution. What may l>e thc relations of the Austrian [Em? peror towards his less well affected and non-German provinces three months after the outbreak of a war is as yet hidden in the future. Bat thero is a feeling that this war, if once begun, will assume a revolu? tionary character. If these millions of men meet in conflict, thrones will not remain where they are. German, Italian, Magyar, Czech and Pole will be moved :is they never were moved before. Such convulsions may be inevitable in the progress of nations, but they are not pleasing to emperors and kings. Tho position tho masses have taken in these countries, the intense interest of all classes, the enthusiasm of one country, the indignation of another, and the proof which has been given that, if the sovereigns mise a tempest, they will not be able to lay it, must have its effect upon every wise ruler, however exalted his rank and extensive his power. SisocTiAi: DISCOVERY, OP HIDDEN TREASURES BY INDIANS.-The Carrol ton (Illinois^ Democrat says: For some I time past a party of Iudians, num? bering fifteen, belonging to the Che? rokee tribe, have been encamped upon tho banks of the illinois River, ten miles from this place. Their os? tensible object was fishing, hunting, &c, but it appears from recent de? velopments that their chief aim was to secure a hidden treasure of seven urns of Spanish coin which had been I imbedded in tho bluffs at that point in years gone by, by their ancient forefathers. They seemed to be ex? tremely cautious in their manners, lest the pale face should discover the cause of their presence in that par? ticular locality, and wrest the coveted prize, for which they had traveled many miles. After ihligent search, which occupied some ten or twelve days, they succeeded in finding the spot where lay concealed the secret of their researches. Little remains to be told. Suffice to say that, af tor due exploration, their brightest an? ticipations were by far more than re? alized. The urns of go.d and other sacred relics spoken of by their chiefs, long since gone to the happy '.hunt? ing-grounds," were secured, and, on yesterday morning, these untutored children of the forest took their de? parture for the far West, with many thousand Spanish dollars to cheer j them on their long and tedious mandi. CHOLERA THEORIES. - in the course of quite an animated discussion in the United Statea Senate, the other day, on the cholera question, Mr. McDou? gall, of California, gave this pithy theory : "I am of the opinion that cholers is the child of fear, and not the off? spring of contagion. Men have theil j own speculations upon it. I have ! mine. 1 mingled with it in ita firsl ' advent into the United States. 1 saw I it face to face, und 1 saw it without i fear, and therefore I did not get ;t. i This thing of legislating against pes ! tilenee is mere child's play, and shoot ing child's arrows at the moon." That this is brimful of practical good sense must be apparent to ever-} I one who has gone through a choler? j campaign. Fear and filth are what the disease feeds on, and to one OJ j the other may bo ascribed agr?ai : proportion of tho deaths occurring ? during the prevalence of cholera i? \ what is termed "epidemic" form i There is nothing like coolness ant ; cleanliness to meet and hurl back tb? ' ' dread monster. ;! + 1 it is admitted that even if wai i should not take place, the prospect: i ? of the Exhibition for 1867 ure blight ? ?il-confidence, the foundation foi j such enterprises being well carnee ' out, is entirely shaken.

BUBO.- The 'Philadtilpfaia Bulletin andr the Wash? ington X/hronide teem with tilo aim virulent abnso of the Hon. William B. Reed, because of his professional connection with the ease of Mr. Davis. The Philadelphia Age tans replies to the senrrillous attack of thc Bulleting "The gentleman alluded io- -the. Hon. William B.

For nenrly half a century, he has enjoyed the confi? dence and respect of his fellow-citi? zens, from the hands of whom he has received the highest honors which his great professional skill could always command. In his. absence-and he may not thank us for the office- wo enter this protest against the brutali? ty of a journal that seems to be ever struggling for an opportunity to slander the living, and, when its ap? petite in this behalf is sated, seeks : the mouldering ashes of the dead for i new food for defamation." 1 Yesterday morning, between 1 and 3 o'clock, our city was visited by one of the severest thunder-storms we ever witnessed. From F.ast, West, North and South, the crashing thun? der roiled, and incessant lightning darted from every point of dark, bois? terous canopy of clouds, whilst, now and then, a livid, gleaming bolt of fire would crash against the earth, dashing some object into atoms, ren? dering the whole terribly grand and awe-inspiring. The telegraph office waa injured considerably; lightning came and set the building on fire in two places, completely melting the wires and screws from the instrument, I and, in one instance, destroyed helix. \ Thc wires are down in each direction, j i and we have received no despatches j ! since midnight, ?vedWPsday. Seve ! ral buildings were more or less da- j j maged by wind and rain. The water came dashing and splashing from the J clouds as if the very flood-gates of Heaven were opened for tho purpose of deluging the earth. * j Knoxville Commercial. - - --. REPUBLICAN HARMONY.-The Alba ? ny Argua says: Thad. Stevens de ; dared, while he was applving the lash i to his followers, who curled under his dictation like whipped spaniels, that i the clause disfranchising the rebels^ until 1870, was the "vital" point t<if the whole proposition, and that, with ; out it, he would not give ..the snap ; of his finger for it." The proposi? tion has gone before the Senate, and i this "vital point" has been stricken ont ht/ a unanimous rote. This shows I that the party has no principle, no fixed purpose or rule of action. The whole machinery of the Government i is sought to be used to perpetuate a j party. Tho interests of the country ; are lost sight of in their effort ; to re t tain power. What one considers as j "vital," tho other repudiates. WHY FORNEX ABUSES MR. DAVIS" . COUNSEL.-We have mentioned the 1 abuse that the shameless trickster, ! Forney, is, through the columns of . bis two papers, heaping on the distill ' gnished gentlemen who arc retained jas counsel for Mr. D? "Is. The chief reason for this ab-.i -,, that in the ! great Forrest divorce case, years ago. 1 Mr. O'Conor was the leading coun , sol for the lady in New ?ork and Mr. ! Heed in Philadelphia- the lattergen j tleman being tho one who forced : Forney, on his examination us a wit I ness, to admit that he wrote the in , famous Roberts letter, in which he ; advised the suborning of a drunken ; witness to confess to adultery with an j absent woman. A New Yorker by the uame of . i Campbell has made sonic curious , ; revelations in Washington relative to tin; testimony given before the Judi , ciary Committee of the House re ! i garding tho implication of Jeff. Davis ' ? in the assassination conspiracy. He ; says, and offers to corroborate his statement, that many of the witnesses ' j testified falsely and under assumed names. Cannory, the principal wit i, ness, was sent to New York to obtain . j evidence corroborative of his own ' testimony, but he never returned. A plan has been suggested by which r the Hudson River can be tunneled . from New York to Hoboken, by laving an iron tube five feet in diameter . i across the bed ol* thc stream. This tunnel, intended to be winked by the pneumatic method, is designed to i transport the freight of the ErieRail . road between Hoboken and the eora t pany'a depots in New York. Our New York exchanges come to us filled with tho particulars of the imposing ceremonies attending the 5 burial ol the late Cen. Winfield Scott. ' it is a singlar fact that among those who composed the grand pageant I there was no ono who stood in a nearer relation to the deceased than "intimate friends ' and family ser - vants.
