WASHINGTON, February 21.-Tho. tenure of office bill was hurried to tV^Presideut, last night, to prov eut aV^tV?et veto. lu the House, Sher roan's bill came up. Wilson's amendment was adopt? ed-t>? to GO. It passed, "and that persons excluded from office ! y the proposed constitutional amendment bc excluded from voting for mem? bers, or being members of conven? tions to form State constitutions." Shelluborger odored an amendment, declaring, "until the rebellious States ave admitted to representation, any civil government shall be deemed j provisional, subject to thc authority of the Uuited States, to be abolished, modified or superceded at any time, and all elections under civil govern? ment to l)e conducted by persons de? scribed in the fifth section; and per? sons qualified to hold office under pro? visional government ineligible under the provisions of thc third section of tho constitutional amendment of last session." Adopted-yeas, 98; nays, 70. A resolution to concur with the amendments then passed-125 to 116-Hawkins, of Tennessee, and Hubbell, of Ohio, being the only Republicans voting nay. lt is conceded that the Senate will pass the bill, with the House amend? ments. The increased stringency de? veloped by the Wilson and Shella borger amendments is attributed to Stevens' strategy. It. is generally acceded that the President will waive the advantages of time, and veto the bill in time tor Congress to act. The army appropriation bill was taken up and adopted, including the section in relation to a general of the army, which contains, in addition to the points telegraphed hist night, that orders and instructions relating to militaiy operations, issued by the President or Secretary of War, shall be issued through a general of the army. Tho Senate was engaged on District bills until a message was received from the House announcing he pass? age of Sherman's bill, with amend? ments. . , Williams moved that the Senate concur. Several senators regretted that a disfranchising clause was in? serted by the House, but would vote to concur notwithstanding. Johnson said that if he had his wish, ho would immediately receive the Southern representatives, but wouldyield to the majority; he would vote for the bill because he saw in it a mode of rescuing the country from the perils that now threaten it. Sew? Items. WASHINGTON, February 20.-Tho President s answer to the Senatorial questions regarding violations of the civil rights bill, states that neither of the Secretaries of State, War and the Navy, nor tho Postmaster-Gene? ral, have reported any. Several were under consideration, which had been refused at the Attorney-General's of? fice. Secretary Stanton had reported several cases to Congress. Cowan, in a speech, defended the President and the South, and asked the Senate why they did not give Stanton assist? ance to redress the reported out Kvges, instead of pouring them into te public ear. Respect for the fair __ime of the country required this, instead of using them os a means for maligning tho. President. Sherman, ?urging his bill, said we give the ne ?J^^ballot, school, protection anil iawT^.ut the nation would never con? sent to put white men under his do? mination. He de.signat.cd Stevens and Elliot's plans as horribly defect? ive. It appears, from a communication of the President to tin; Senate, that the gross proceeds of cotton seized is ?25,500,000; sale of miscellaneous property, $1,800,000; rents of aban? doned property, nearly $500,000; and other receipts ?2,300,000; total, $35, 000,000; net profits to United States, $25,000,001). John Surratt was brought on shore to-day. On landing, the marshal said: "Is your name -John Surratt?" He replied: "It is, sir." Tho marshal then served his warrant, and took possession of the prisoner. His case and custody are entirely under civil authorities. Ex-Governor Thomas H. Ford, of Ohio, and Cul. Hincklo will defend Surratt. NEW YOKK, February 20.-A vio? lent North-east snow storm has im? peded travel.

Ward, of Kentucky, in a spreeh before Congress, narrated the following tts an illustration of what condition thc Southern States would be after they shall have passed through the "course of sprouts" prepared for them by the radical party: There was a man once came to my neighborhood and preached what he called the doctrine of restoration in reference to a higher and a better world. He said that all sinners would finally be restored to walk the streets of thc New Jerusalem; but he said they would first have to go to the place of perdition, the pit that burns with fire and brimstone, and stay there until they had expiated all their sins. An old man who was : present and heard him, one who was noted more for his straightforward and blunt language than for his piety, got up and said: "Why, brother, after I have been in that sulphur and fire burning long enough to have my sins burned ont of me, don't you think I would be a d-d pretty singe cat to go to Heaven?" [Great i laughter. J And that is what the I gentleman is pleased to call a perfec? tion of the Republic. HARPER'S FERRY.-During the pe? riod of General Washington's incum? bency of the Presidency, various tracts of land at Harper's Ferry wer'? ceded to him and his successors, in trust for the United States, for the purpose of erecting buildings for the manufacture of arms, etc. The Go? vernment armory and work-shops remained at that point up to the time of the breaking out of the war in 1861. Thc War Department having determined against re-locating the Government armory there, applica? tion has been made, for a sale or con- j voyance of the land to parties who are desirous of putting up manufae- I turing establishments. RECONSTUCTTNG POR ETERNITY. "Mack," the Washington correspond? ent of the Cincinnati Commercial, gets off tin; following: Mr. Morehead, of Pittsburg, closed a eulogy on his late colleague, Phillip Johnson, with the following very touching piece of rhe? toric: "How important that we, while ? using our best energies to reconstruct tho Government for time, should not fail to use proper exertions for recon? struction personally for eternity." t am afraid it" Congressmen don't make better progress with eternal than they have with temporal reconstruc? tion, they will all go to the devil by default. Mons. Jean BaptisteLassue, an in genius Frenchman, of Now York, claims to have invented an serial ship, capable of being steered and man? aged in tho air, and of making the trip across the Atlantic in three days and a half. His ship is a longitudinal cylinder, representing about 1,000 feet in length and 30? in diameter. Through this cylinder, at its centre, passes a tunnel, and through this tunnel arc steps, and men tread them to propel the ship. Attached to tho outer surface of thc cylinder is a thin screw or spiral flange, which, nuger like, is to bore thc passage of tho ship through the air. ANOTHER VICTIM TO FEDERAL IN? JUSTICE.-Dr. James Hunter, of Fairfax County, died on the 9th inst., aged sixty-two years. Dr. Hunter was arrested by tho Federals on the charge of harboring Coi. Mosby which was not true-sent to the slave pen in Alexandria, and subsequently to Fort Warren. It was during this imprisonment that-his health was un? dermined. Mosby once stopped at the well of Dr. Hunter, washed his hands, and had a napkin sent out to wipe them. This was the offence that merited an imprisonment which slowly but surely worked death. [Freiericksburg Herald. Soi.DUCKS' GRAVES.- -The Emperor ' of Franco has acTflt?sse .1 tho foll ow ! ing to Viscount Hood: "SIK: I learn with regret hy your j letter that the tombs ol" the English officers killed at the battle of Ton I louse are in a state of dilapidation. "Soldiers who fall upon a foreign soil are the property of that country, and it is the duty of all to honor j their memory. "I take upon myself the repara? tion of these tombs at my own ex? pense. "Receive the assurance of my re? gards." There is a sentiment in this which shows how ineffably inferior this ef? fete European despotism is to our own enlightened republicanism. Our "gallant Phil. Sheridan," in forbid? ding a civil escort to the remains of Gen. Johnston, and the various or? ders issued to prevent monuments to or decorations of the graves of Con? federate dead, demonstrate our enor? mous superiority in humanity and a chivalrous regard for a gallant foe. [Chicago Ti mrs. A female fiend by the name of J Crawford, living in New Albany, beat j a little girl most unmercifully, and then burned her badly with a red-hot iron. The child is slowly recovering. She was most shockingly and inhu? manly punished, as she alleges, by this woman Crawford. Both her arms were broken, and holes burned in her abdomen by a hot poker, thrust against lier. A terrible gash was rut upon Hie side of lier head, her feet wen' blistered, and a deep gash was cut in her lips, lt is a mat? ter of general surprise that the 'nail bond of thi' woman was fixed at the low -uni of $250. I Neic Albany Ledger. -? . A SAD BLOW. -A party of negroes, whilst digging on a plantation near I Vicksburg, struck an Old bomb-shell. A dismission arose as to whether thc powder was still good. "Tell you it I is," said one. "Tell you it aint," said another. "I'm blowed if it is," said a third, as he put it into the fire ' by way of test. A terrific explosion took place, and No. :? was "blow'd if I it wasn't." The poor fellow lost one arm, and was so terribly burned about the head that he is not expected to outlive the Freedmen's Bureau. Chief Justice "Walker, of the Su? preme Court of Arkansas, delivered i an opinion on the 9th instant, de ! daring the acts of all Legislatures, and judgments of courts, etc., since the ordiuance of secession was passed, to be valid and binding, except in cases where they were in conflict with the Constitution and laws of the United States. The court reversed an order of an inferior court quash? ing an execution issued since the ? surrender, upon a judgment rendered after the secession of the State. MISERS MURDERED TN MASSACHU? SETTS AND MAINE.-Last Wednesday morning the charred remains of In? galta Damon wore found among the ruins of his barn, which had been burnt on the previous night. He was a miser and dwelt alone. On the 8th, in Franconia, New Hampshire, Thos. Hand, also au old miser, who led a solitary life, was found murdered in the cellar of his dwelling. His head liad been cleft with an axe. His house had been pillaged. A writer, just returned from the land ho writes about, says: The Bra? zilian Democrat, like his brethren j here, prates about, liberty, fraternity and equality. He now has paper money, four short railways, wants mere of them, and talks much of de? veloping tlie resources; soon he will) cry out against the right of property, and unless God of great mercy inter? poses, he will, in due season, be led , bv the devil to the third and lust stage. GENEROUS ( 1 VESTS.-At a w eddoigin ! Haleigh, X. G, a few evenings since, the invited guests, after the ceri mony, were requested to pay ten dollars each to the brillo, who was in such indigent circumstances that she had not the means to complete her ward? robe. Each person present promptly responded, the sum raised amount? ing to about $500. The bride thank? ed her friends for their generosity, kissed them all, and went home with her huband in the best of spirits. PIG IKON FROM GKOHMTA.-Thc Louisville Democrat, of thelDth, says: Messrs. Guthrie k. Co., agents, re? ceived, to-day, from thc iron mines at Trenton, Georgia, their first in? voice of pig iron. The iron is said to be of excellent quality, and is now being tested in this city. This is a new feature in the exports of Geor? gia, and promises to add greatly to her other and numerous sources of wealth. Tho Troy Times, of the 5th inst., says that a lady, -who resides in Sche? nectady, recently went to ber pareuts' home, in Bennington, Vt., to have her mother's care in child-birth. Owing to the ill-feeling of her father toward her husband, she was driven away almost with curses. She was passing through Troy, on her wray back, when, on the evening of the 4th, she gave birth to a child in the street. Au investigation which has been made, shows that many of the bro? kers in flour at the New York corn exchange aro guilty of great frauds. Much of the flour branded as super? fine, and sold as such, is, it appears, made up, in part at least, of refuse stuff and d...naged materials, sent to the mill and ground over again.

TT7E PROPOSE to publish a WEEKLY VV TAPER, devoted to the dimisi?n of thc principles of religion and tho interests of the Baptist denomination. We have 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 Baptist, 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. The field is large, affording ample room* for all sincere and zealous laborers. The Baptist will be printed on a sheet about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and will contain twenty-four broad columns, mostly in Long Primer t3'pe, clear and legible, so that it may be read with com? fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha? nical execution will bc of the highest order. Our columns will bc enriched bj- corres? pondence and contributions from the other Southern States, and, occasionally, from Europe and our missionary stations abroad. The entertainment and instruc? tion of the young-especially the child? ren-will not be forgotten; and our vene 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, we possess all the facilities requisite to produce a paper of the first rank. As such, wc offer it to our brethren, and solicit their generous co-operation. Tho Baptist will be issued as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers have been secured. TEEMS-$3 a year, payable on the recep? tion of the lirst number.
