TORONTO, March 8.-The provincial gov
eminent has called tor 1000 volunteers, to
be stationed along the frontier, to guard
against the Fenian raids. The call creates
great excitement-and the rally to arms some
whatresembles the American furore.
WAsHINGToN, March 8 The Tennessee
question continues to be the leading topic in
Congress. On resolution reported Monday, a
delegation of Congressman who are support
ers of the President, waited on him last even
ing and received definite assurance that the
resolution should be combatted and would be
vetoed if passed. The President saying he
could not sign away his own citizenship by
approving resolution that declares Tennes-
see out of the Union and needs the action of
law making power to get back. Lively times
may be expected, when the ball fully opens,
Compensating for the quietness of the past
ten days. Allrumors of the possible healing
of the breach between the President and Con-
gress are fcticious. He may have sent private
letters as reported to Sumner and Stevens,
regretting personalities, but no olive branch
appears on the political horizon.
Maynard and Stokes of the Tennessee dele |
cation approved of the Congressional plan.
Stokes made speech in Nashville the other
day, declaring that Congress should not adj |
nit the Southern representatives without ma
ture deliberation, and it was rightin demand |
ing test oath and taking time to examine
into the condition Of the Southern States.
H said it seemed to be regarded as great |
outrage, that Congress did not let the mem
bers right in, regardless of the question and
draw pay and begin to egislate for the whole
country when half these members elect have
been in the rebel army. He said if was in
Congress would vote against the repeal of
the test oath till I froze to my seat. The
Union men in Tennessee are particularly stiff |
in that matter, because they are determined
20 have none but original Union men, who
shall vote in that State. They have the pow
er in their own hands and intend to hold it
although it excluded from suffrage, the rebels
pardoned by the President. If the division
between the President and Congress should
come on the pending resolution the unionists
now in power in Tennessee would be pretty
sure to be against the President.
Boutwell, and Washburn submitted their
minority report from the Reconstructionl
Committee, that further condition should be
added to the admission of Tennessee, that in
suffrage franchise no distinction should be
made on account of race or color.
The House billincreasing the regular army
does not accept many of the recommends
tons of the late conference of Generals. 1t
provides that the army shall be made up
mostly from the volunteers. Veteran Re-
serve Corps is retained fully, and-several me-
gro regiments. It also provided for board
of examination of officers, to be made up Of
the majority ofvolunteer officers. +
Both Houses of Congress have passed
resolution completing the transfer Of Berkeley
and Jefferson Counties from Old Virginia to
West Virginia. Meanwhile the Richmond
Legislature has appointed commissioners to
visit the Wheeling Legislature, in behalf of
reunion, or at least to endeavor to negotiate
for the assumption of part of the old State
debt.
The House Select Committee on Freedmen
this morning reported new Freedmen's Bu-
feau Bill, which continues the act under
which the present Bureau was organized for
three years, and allows the appointment of
two additional Assistant Commissioners I'M
der direction of the President, and when the
same shall be necessary to divide the various
districts into Sub-d districts, and appoint an
agent for such. The bill retains that section
of the vetoed bill which restricted three mill
lions acres of public lands in Mississippi,
Alabama, Florida Louisiana and Arkansas for
sale to freedmen. The Sea Island stations
have been redrafted, but provides that the
present occupants shall not be disturbed for
three years from date of General Sherman's
field order, unless provisions is made for
them, with their written consent ard appro-
val of Commissioner. Military jurisdiction
is extended over all States lately in rebellion,
with respect to all cases involving the civil
tights of freedmen, till the ordinary course of
Judicial proceedings is restored, and States
representedEn Congress.
The recommendation of the Comptroller of
Currency for an increase of hundred mil
lions dollars National Bank Currency, was
rejected in tue House--17 to ia, which is
one of the most decisive votes during the
session.
