--- ~,_

In the Federal Senate, on the 24th inst., Mr. Wilson (of
Massachusetts) proposed an amendment to the constitution
providing that no payment shall ever be made by the United
States, or any Sate, for or on account of the emancipation
of any slave or slaves, or for or on account of any debt in-
curred to aid rebellion against the United States Govern-
ment. Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
On the 25th inst. the bill to enlarge the powers of the
Freedmen's Bureau was passed by a vote of 37 to 10, after
several ineffectual attempts to amend it on the part of va-
rious members. The bill is, in substance, as follows :
Section 1 continues the original act in force, and autho-
rises 'the President to establish 12 or less districts, each
under charge of an assistant commissioner.

Section 2 specifies the clerks to be employed, all to be
under military jurisdiction.

Section 3 authorises the Secretary of War to order issue
of provisions, clothing, fuel, &c., to refugees and freedmen,
as he deems needful.

Section 4 authorises the President to reserve for refugees
and freedmen three million acres of land in Florida, Missis-
sippi, and Arkansas, to be alloted in 40 acre parcels, and at.
a rental in accordance with the value of the ]and.

Section 5 confirms for three years the titles of lands given
by order of Gen. Sherman to freedmen in South Carolina,
with the proviso that owners and occupants of said land
may effect special arrangements, with the sanction of the
Freedmen's Commissioners.

Section 6 authorises the commissioners to purchase lands
for the support of dependent freedmen and refugees, and to
build asylums and schools, the necessary funds to be pro-
vided by Congressional appropriation.
Section 7 authorises the President to extend military
jurisdiction and jurisprudence, when necessary, for the
enforcement of the laws and powers accorded to the bureau
to secure the rights of person and property to the freedmen
and refugees.

Section 8 provides that whoever subjects any freedman to
slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment
for crime, or discriminates between black and white per-
sons in imposing legel penalties, shall be punished by a
fine of $l,OOO and imprisonment for one year. Officers of
the bureau to have jurisdiction overall complaints wherever
such discrimination of colour is made, or whenever State
or Federal Courts are not in full and peaceful operation.

A motion by Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, to reconsi-
der the vote on the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, was lost in
the Senate yesterday ; ayes 18, nays 22.
Resolutions endorsing the President's course in regard
to reconstruction have been passed by the Legislatures of
Kentucky and New Jersey.
The editor of the Charlotte (N. 0.) Times has been ordered
to pay a fine of $3OO for circulating disloyal writings
within a district under martial law. He was arraigned
before court-martial.

General Delafield, in charge of the National Military
Academy at West Point, has suggested that it would be im-
proper to decorate the grounds of that institution with
cannon captured from rebels, with the inscriptions, as has
been proposed, showing the manner of their capture. The
General thinks that the trophies of a civil war are better to
be kept out of sight, as their presence can only revive un-
pleasant memories.

The Fcnians in this city seem to be undergoing a reaction
from their late condition of excitement, and quietnessreigns
at the " Capitol." The triumph of the Olfahony faction
seems to be generally conceded, although a strong oppo-
sition still remains.

There are rumours afloat that the Brotherhood have re-
cently secured a large supply of arms, ammunition, and
Military stores ; and darks hints are thrown out by Ameri-
can Fenian journals that important and startling develop-
ments are near at hand. " Special meetings with closed
doors," and " Cabinet deliberations on proposals calculated
to shake thrones to their centres," are announced to have
transpired in the Union-square head-quarters. The ope-
rations of the Brotherhood, however, so far as is known
outside, appear to be confined now to procuring the circu-
lation of rumours calculated to keep up the flow of money
into the treasury of the order, and to guarding the moneys
so procured from peculation. Their scccess in the former
effort ip add to be much greater than in the latter.
