CONGRESSIO
SATURDAY, May %.

SATUROA1s moy 70.
SENATR-Mr. Wade called up the bill to
amend the charter of the city of Washington In
regard to the registration Of voters-the pend
ing question being on MIR. Willey's amendment
to Mr.. Summers negro suffrage proviso-Mr.
vided, however, that no such resident who is
entitled to vote elsewhere, shall be entitled or
allowed to vote under or by virtue of this res
olutiop.' This amendment to the amendment
was rejected.
The question was then taken on Mr. Sum-
ner's amendment, as previously amended by
Mr.. Harlan, limiting the negro suffrage or per-
mission to register to these who have borne
arms in the U. S. military service and been
honorably Discharged; and it was agreed to.
MIR. Garlic then suggested to amend by
ident" in the bill, so as to prevent temporary
residents, and who hold citizenship in other
States, from voting here.
Mr.. Wiley thought the amendment would
rot accomplish the object; and
On motion OF MIR. Ten Eyck, the words "who
Is a qualified voter in other respects" was then
inserted in the first line of the bilI after the
word "pef son."
Mr.. Sumner then moved another proviso,
giving all persons, without distin ction of color,
a vote Who had, during the previous year, paid
a tax on any estate or been assessed for part of
the revenue Of the city, &c.
After debate it was rejected-yeas s, nays 81.
Some further notifications Of the first amend
ed proviso of MIR. Sumner were then made, and
it was put in the folio wing form:
"Provided that no distinction shall be made
between persons who have borne arms in the
military service of the United States
It was then rejected-yeas Is, nays 90.
The bill was then passed.

Parties who reached here this morning from
Fredericksburg report that guerrlilas continue
to hover around the town in considerable num-
bers. Many OF them are also to be seen along
the banks Of the Rappahannock.
On Thursday evening the guerrillas, sup
posing that Fredericksburg had been evac.
uated, made dash up to where some of our
troops were in the river bathing, and fired upon
them, killing one and wounding two. They
soon discovered that our forces held the town,
and they Immediately skedaddled.
A detachment of Union cavalry were sent in
pursuit, but they were unable to overtake the
marauders.
