In the House, Scofield opposed further appropriations for the capi? tol. He had no ilea that the capitol was going to remain here. Section G of the appropriation bill directs thc Clerk of tho House to se? lect papers in the unrepresented States-not exceeding ono to each Congressional District -to publish treaties ami laws, at a rate not ex? ceeding Si per square of eight lines. The discussion developed the fact that tho object was to foster loyal papers throughout the South. News Items. TOPEKA, KANSAS, February 22. The Legislature assumes the losses caused by Price's raid.

PHILADELPHIA, February 20.-This morning, as George Ellars was being taken from the prison-box into the Criminal Court for trial on the charge of assault and battery and an attempt at rape, he was shot dead by Thomas Leis, the father of the girl on whom the outrage was- attempted, just as the former crossed the threshold of the court-room. Ellars was charged with commit? ting an outrage on Louisa Leis, ele? ven years old, in April last. He was arrested at the time and held to bail, but he absconded, and was subse? quently re-arrested at Harrisburg, and brought here for trial. The evi? dence against Ellars was slight, and it is doubted whether he could have been convicted. Thc murdered man was a German, and leaves a wife. Leis gave himself up. Surratt pleads not guilty, and re? sponded to the question by whom he would bc tried, "By my country? men.'' The proceedings were devoid of military pharaphernalia.

We subjoin the comments of the newspapers' nt Washington in rela? tion to the bill which has passed Congress" for the government of the ' South: At a late hour last night the recon? struction bill passed the Senate, with the odious House amendments in? cluded-amendments that should have palsied the hands that penned them, us they will blacken, in after days, the character of those who pushed them forward to a successful consummation. We know that the better sort of Republicans desired at heart that that form of embittered proscriptiveness should not be forced upon them, but the behests of fana? ticism and mercenariness were all powerful, as is seen by the apparently despairing vote against the bill. [National Intelligencer, Neb. 21. As it will be observed, this b'll passed thc Senate yesterday even" If tlie President approves of the mc. sure, he will make himself a military despot over ten States of the Federal Union. He cannot sign it with honor. It sets aside the Constitution and Supreme Court of the United States, disregards all civil authorities and laws, and confers absolute power, un? limited and uncontrolled by men, upon the President. We believe hin to be too much of a patriot io accepi the boon tims offered him. At tin same time, we sincerely hope and be Heve that he will return the bill witl his objections, and throw the respon sibility of having enacted such i monstrous law ripon its authors Such a thing in a man's "pocket' would certainly make him feel uncom fortablc.-National Republican, 21s/ The measure of Congressional re \ construction is complete. It leave nothing to inference. It is clear-i leaves nothing to doubt. While witl one hand it excludes traitors fron control, it restores the common o natural rights to all loyal men, am accompanies the pledge with th protection. At one fell swoop, th whole system of oppression, whethc State Governments or State laws falls to the ground. For the firs time since the beginning of th world, man has been secured the fii opportunity to prove himself worth of self-government. [Forney's Chronicle, '21st.
