very little disturbed at their changed position beng
possibly too much confused by the suddenness of the

When my informant left, the Rebels were drilling
the piers to the new railroad bridge, four spans Of

regarding the pontoon bridge, one whom remarked
that it was in very good condition, to which the
other replied it would be in a worse before night.
Undoubtedly they have this destroyed it--thus

MISSOURI CONTENTION.

JEFFERSON CITY, June 9.
Mr.. Breckinridge argued the merits of his bill
at length, claiming that it was the only means at
all likely to quiet the agitation now rapidly
growing in our State All men agreed that slave
~ was doomed IN the State ) that secession had
ruined it, and it only remained for Us to deter
mine whether as wise, careful and conservative
men, we will take hold Of the subject as a pOliti-
cal question, or leave it to be dealt with by radi
Gals. Pass this ordinance and there will be
nothing left to build up radical men and meas
ures. The whole subject is to be acted upon by
the people after two years Of calm reflection
with peace, quiet and prosperity restored to the
country,
At the conclusion Of Mr. Breckenridge's re-
marks, several members endeavored TO gain the
door, Mr.. Henderson among the number.
Mr.. Hall Of Randolph, however, was recOgni-
zed, and moved to lay the bill on the table He
was appealed to by Mr. Henderson to withdraw
the motion, in order that he Henderson, might
make a few remarks on the subject
Mr.. Han agreed to withdraw for Messrs Birch
and Long, who desired to make explanations,
but Mr.. Henderson raised point of order that
the gentlenan had no right to withdraw in be-
half Of anybody.
Mr.. Hall then insisted on his motion
The President said Mr.. Henderson himself in
tended to leave for Washington tomorrow, and
he hoped. the Convention would extend the Driv-
ilege to Mr.. Henderson of making q fow remark.
He (WilsOn) might also desire to say some
thing on the subject.
Finding it impossible to induce the mover to
withdraw his motion to lay the bill the table,
the members desirOus of speaking on the sub
ject consented that the vote should be taken ON
the motion to lay the bill on the table.
The yeas and nays we're then called, and the
motion to lay the bill on the table was carried,
81 against 10.
Mr.. Hall then moved to reconsider the mo-
ton to lay on the table, and to lay that motion
on the table. 1900.
This was agreed to, and TINS the gradual
emancipation scheme in Missouri was defeated.
Mr.. Birch then rose to privileged question
and read a written statement Of the facts con-
nected with his late arrest.
The Committee on Elections then reported
back the bill defining tho qualifications of voters.
The revised bill leaves out entirely the disfran-
chisement Of persons who have been engaged in
! the rebellion.

ordinance to abolish certain officers reduce sal
