Congrcss-ional.
WASHINGTON, February 17.- Sherman's
substitute was passed at half-past fi o'clock,
tliia morning-20 to 10. This is substan?
tially Blaine's amendment-which is ae
follows:
SEC. 5. And be il further enacted, That
when thc constitutional amendment pro?
posed as article fourteen by the Thirty
Ninth ('(ingress shall have become a pari
of the Constitution of the United States,
by the ratification of three-fourths of thc
States now represented in Congress, ant
when any one of the late so-called Confede?
rate States shall have given its assent te
the same and conformed its constitutioi
and laws thereto in all respects, and whet
it shall have provided by its constitutioi
that thc elective franchise shall be onjoyct
equally and impartially by all male ?iii
zens of the United States, twenty-on?
years old and upwards, without regard t<
race, color or previous condition of servi
tudc, except such as may be disfranchised
for participating in the ?ate rebellion, am
when said constitution shall havo beei
submitted to the voters of said State, a:
thus defined, for ratification or rejection
and when the constitution, if ratified b;
.thc popular vote, shall have been submit
ted to Congress for examination ami ap
proval, said State shall, if its constitutioi
oe approved by Congress, be declared en
titled to representation in Congress, am
Senators and Representatives shall be ad
nutted therefrom on their taking the oatl
prescribed by law, and then and thereafte
thc preceding sections of this bill shall b
inoperative in said State.
lt is prefaced by a preamble providini
for tlu; division of tho latelv seceded State
into Military Districts similar to those pre
posed in Stevens' bill, but gives thc ap
pointmeut of tho officers who arc to coi:
trol them to the President instead of t
thc General commanding, lt further ri
quires that all death senteuccs shall b
approved by the President before they ca
be executed; that the writ o? habeas coi
:>;'.<! shall not. be suspended, and that n
inter! renee'by the military with the Stat
government shall occur.
The bill will meet with serious oppos
tion in tho House. Se veral Republican;
including Brand agc 0 and Stevens, arc r<
ported to bc indignant at its proposal t
give to thc President the right of appoin
lng the officers, approving sentences <
death, as also its permission to the Fed;
ral Courts to grant petitions fortheAci&e(
corpus.
The friends of tho measure appr?hende
a veto, and it is feared that the bolte
will defeat it altogether. Three Senator
Messrs Sanlsbury, Buckalow and Davi
voted nay, for reasons which they spec
tied.
Mr. Davis moved to amend thc bill so
to make all punishments for crimes punis
able as tinder existing laws, but them
tion was lost by a vote of S to 2'.).
WASHINGTON, F'ebruary 18.-Wentwortl
Corruption Committee creates more anim
ment than apprehension-, developments |
to show that two enterprising newspap
men engineered thc thing. The prima
object is a big item. Congressmen were a
proached and encouraged to visit the Pi

anxiety to harmonize the country, a
nothing moro. The interviews were"soc

Tho President is represented as ufctei

In tho Senate, Sumner presented a n
morial of thc Pennsylvania Peace Socio
urging tho establishment of an interj
tional tribunal, to which the national t
?erences should bo referred.
The bill extending the time for arpea]
a writ of error, from th? excluded Stat

Sumner made an ineffectual effort to ?'
inter Elliott's bill, when, after ar. execut
session, the Senate took a re ?? Js.
In the House, a Joint resolution of
Utah Legislature was presented, pray
tho repeal of the territorial law punish
polygamy. The bill calling for suffra
regardless of sect, was tabled,, after
hours' debate. Tin- resolution that

A motj' n contemplating the withdraws

Stevens moved to non-concur, and as
for a Committee of Conference. Bout
spoke in opposition to Sherman's sui

of reconstruction to the rebels. We on

ness in South Carolina .'ho Orrs, Piel
and Magraths. The bill leaves the v
open to any one who may choose to

Stokes opposed it, because he saw :

Ho preferred tho defeat of the conj
sional reconstruction measures to

Stevens took the ground that thc
usurped tho power of a future Cong
and afterwards ventilated his usual bi
ness against tho President and thc So

Blaine favored tho bill, contending
it gav? no more rights than Congress
Tennessee rebels.
Bingham mado a bitter hit at Ste
showing there was not a single featu
tho bill which was not at ono time or <
favored by the Reconstruction Con

Schenck, of Ohio, favored the bill a
only thing possible. After further i

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION TO TENNES?
SEE.-Tho papers state that 100,000
acres of laud, mainly lying in Mor?
gan County, Tennessee, on tho line
of tho projected Tennessee and Pa?
cific Railroad, havo been purchased
for tho purposo of settling immi?
grants from foreign countries. 100
German families, composed of young
persons belonging to the boiter class?
es of society, each bringing to the
United States an average of $600 hi
gold, are now on their way to Ten?
nessee, and have contracted for a
portion of the land above referred to.
Texas-ward tho star of en ' ikes
its way. A gentleman recer re?
turned to the Lone Star State ? ? . the
East says all along the route, .rom
Alexandria, Virginia, to Galveston,
the cry was "Texas, Ho!" among the
passengers. Some were bound for
Eastern Texas, for the purpose of
cultivating sugar and cotton; some
fe Northern Texas, for the purpose
ot cultivating the cereal grains; and
some for Southern Texas, for thc
purpose of engaging in pastoral pur?
suits, suchas raising horses, ea!tie
and sheep.
NEGRO CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.- -
The Knoxville Commercial, of the
6th inst., says:
"There seems to be a strong dis?
position on the part of some of the
Leading colored citizens to place a
candidato on the track for Congress
in this District. We do not like the
color of the move. But they have a
perfect right to do so and they can
poll a strong vote in this District,
and if they choose to malee the issue
they certainly will bc protected in
their rights."
Radicalism is already beginning tc
sneer at Mr. Peabody's recent muni?
ficent gift for educational purposes ir
the South. His failure to specify in
a particular manner the beloved
freedmen is not at all satisfactory
Last week, the Inquirer, of Philadel
phia, opened its batteries, by attack
ing that portion of the gift which in
eludes the bonds of the Planlers
Bank, of Mississippi, and coolly as
serted that "the ruling population o
the South it? not honest."
COTTON STORES? IN NEW Yo RIC. -
Thfe Journal of Commerce says th
risk and expense of storing cotton ii
New York is diverting the trade fror
that city. Tho rate of insurance n
New York is three per cent. ; at Bo?
ton it is less than one per cen I
Fraud is suspected in many ir
stances of the destruction of cotton b
fire in New York. That large amount
of cotton are stolen from the bah
there, is a fact too well known to I
contradicted.

The order setting them at liber!

TEXAS.-The bureau agents ha
so educated the freedmen in Tex;
that they will neither work, or

PROSPECTUS
OF
Till?: IJAPTIST.
WE PROPOSE to publish a WEEKLY
PAPER, devoted to the diffusion of
thc principles of religion and tho interests
of the Baptist denomination. We havs
been moved to this undertaking by the
solicitations of brethren in various por?
tions of this State, as well as of other
States, among the readers of the late
Confederate Jlaptist, and by our own con?
viction that a paper of a high character
would contribute largely to tho intellectual
improvement, the religious progress and
the general welfare of the churches. Tho
field is large, affording ample room for all
sincere and zealous laborers.
The Baptist will be printed on a sheet
i about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and
will contain twenty-four broad columns,
I mostly in Long Primer type, clear and
legible, so that it may be read with com?
fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha
! uical execution will be of thc highest order.
Our columns will be enriched by corres?
pondence and contributions from the
other Southern States, and, occasionally,
from Eurone and our missionary stations
abroad. '1 he entertainment and instruc?
tion of the young-especially the child?
ren-will not be forgotten; and our yeno
blo friend, "Unelo Fabian," so well and
favorably known to the readers of the
Confederate Baptist, will resume his labors
in their behalf. In short, wo possess all
tho facilities requisite to produce a paper
of the first rank. As such, we offer it to
our brethren, and solicit their generous
co-operation.
The Baptist will bc issued as soon as a
! sufficient number of subscribers have been
? secured.
TERMS ?3 a year, payable on the recop
1 tion of the first number.
All communications will be addressed to
'The Baptist, Columbia, S. C."
