The House of Representatives passed
on Tuesday. by a vote OF 1876 to 33, the Sen.
ate bill Slightly amended) for extending the
powers of the Freedmen's Bureau As in
the Senate, the vote was strictly partizan,
all the yeas being Union men, and all the
nays Except one bordcr-State Representa-.
tive) being Democrats. This unanimity of
the friends OF the Government is AS crafty
ing as the continued opposition of the Dem.
ocrats to every measure designed to secure
from oppression and outrage the freedmen
and loyal refugees is discreditable. The ne.
cessty of this measure grows hourly more
and more apparent, by the repeated evidences
Of the continuance of desperate and ag
gressive spirit Of disloyalty. Its passage
gives the country assurance that the fruits
Of the triumph of the national arms will be
secured to all our citizens, and freedom made
a reality, instead Of a mere hollow mockery.
"A company of Northern men who went
South with the view of investing their money
and establishing homes, have returned, salts
fed that the lives and property of loyal men
are not safe under the governments now esta-
blished there. One OF their number, who
purchased place within eighty miles of
Vicksburg. was notified by mob to leave
within five days. He at once set his freed
men to work building small fort, on which
he raised the American flag. He then armed
his freedmen and notified the mob that he
was ready to leave if they were ready to force
him away. The mob had not disturbed him
at last accounts.
--Advices from the Black Feet agency, at
Fort Benton, Montana Territory, convey
information of the arrival and the early dis
tribution ofthe amnesty goods. The Indians
assembled at the fort in large numbers
Among them were 800 lodges of the Pigeons.
200 of the Graventors, 40 of the Bloods and
few scattering bands of the Black Feet. -
They average about seven to lodge, making
an aggregate of some 3, 800 souls.
The Emperor Napoleon, in his speech
on the 22d ut, says that arrangements are
making to withdraw the French troops from
Mexico. He hopes this will pacify the peo-
pie ofthe United States, who were invited
to join the expedition, but declined, although
such expeditions are not opposed to their
interests.
The Macon Georgia. Messenger say two
thirds of the freedmen in that part of the
South are disposed to 60 to work, but as a
general rule they are opposed to hiring out
to their former masters. They wish to swap
plantations, as that gives them sense of
having secured their freedom not otherwise
attainable.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE,

l he bill for the Reassessment of Property
IN the State has passed.
Mr.. McCauley offered an amendment pro-
.hlhltng the issuing OF any licenses for the
sale of liquors, &c, in Annapolis, or within
five miles OF Annapolis, to any person what
ever, which WAS rejected.
"A Committee of the Baltimore City Union
Convention was admitted to the presence Of
the Legislature, on tuesday last, to present

ntons OF the Convention, which will be

ing speech to the joint meeting OF the mem.
berS OF the senate ana House.
The memorial and resolutions were order
cd to be printed in the journals.
The Boom 6lll was passed by the Senate,
on tuesday afternoon ana received ny the
House: and a motion was made that the
bill be printed After lengthy discussion,
during which the friends of the bill insisted
that the effect of the motion to print, at this
late day, was to XII the biIl for the want Of

Phelps.

The Union men of Baltimore, as if for
the purpose of forming sharp contrast, or
providing a back ground for the more sharply
ana perfectly defining the god-like abilities
of the !amented Winter Davis, chose one
Col. Phelp, for Congress, in place of Davis.
The petty trio kerry of Ward politicians was
never more clearly exposed to universal dis.
gust than in this instance. Phelps is found
constantly voting with the Copperheads in
Congress.
The Union Convention of Baltimore, last
week, passed a resolution of censure on him.
The Convention should rather have passed
resolution censuring the miserable petty
Jealousy among the Baltimore politicians
that placed such pigmy in Congress to fill
the giants place.

EsaS" The Democrat, last week, devotes =.
lengthy chapter of foul abuse to the Hon.
John A. j. Creswell, U. S. Senator. Abuse
from such a source is equal to the praise of
good men. We love to see it, We hope
the whole race of secession vermine will
soon recommence their abuse Of the Pres,
dent. We involuntarily feel degree of
shame when we hear traitors and their apo-
ogists striving to aater and praise loyal NEIL.
