The Washington Stsr SAYS that at meeting

The Washington Star says that at q meeting
of the Reconstruction Committee, Mr.. Bout
well Of Mass, broke ground by opposing the
who.e scheme of enforced negro suffrage, and
urging tie adoption Of a plan of reconstruction
basiIg representation upon population, except.
ing from representation such males above
twenty-one years Of age as are not voters, and
leaving the whole question of suffrage to the
States. Mr.. Boutwell, alleged that two or
three New England States were all that could
be counted on to sustain enforced negro suf-
irage: Mr.. Thad. Stevens opposed the pro-
position Of Mr.. Boutwell, with considerable
heat, declaring that if the committee common
ced to recede they might as we'll give the whole
thing up. Senator Howard and others took
part in the subsequent debate, and finally the
committee adjourned until Saturday without
action. The Star, also, learns, that "the
Republican members of Congress from the
State Of New York held meeting last night
to consider the general subject of reconstruc.
ton, and came to the conclusion that it was
requisite for Congress to speedily adopt some
affirmative policy Of liberal character with
which to go before the people It was agreed
that thegquestion Of regulating suffrage must
be ignored by Congress and left to the people
of the States to decide. A third point of policy
decided upon was the admission of the State
OF Tennessee. - ''.'..

respondent under him--that he held him
down till the respondent promised il he
would let MIN up he would go off and mind
his own business-that thereupon the res
pendent was permitted to get up, and that
as soon as he regained his feet, he drew
from his breast pocket pistol, and fred

moment OF discharging The pistol, Streeter
turned partly round, at the same time rails

not penetrating the skin--that but few

CURED for Streeter upon the street, re-
marking to the person of whom he inquir-
ed, putting his hand to his breast pocket
that he would fix him, and that he carried
the tools to do il with.
The evidence of the respondent tended
to show, that at the time he was at Brat

was under the influence of liquor--that for
several years there had been bad state of
feeling existing between the respondent
and Streeter--that at the time Of this en-

EXTREME SUFFERING.-The Lowell
Courier states that Sergeant Edward A.
Simpson, late of Co. B, Both Mass. regi-
ment, was wounded 10 the ankle, at Cedar
Creek, on October 10, 1864, and amputa-
ton performed three days aferward In
consequence of exposure and improper
treatment another amputation above the
knee took place in October, 1864. Some
weeks ago an operation which virtually
amounted to third amputation took place
at Sergeant Simpsons home in Middlesex
Village; and last Monday, it having been
discovered that the thigh bone had rotted
up to near its socket the remainder of the
limb was cut of as near the hip Joint as it
was possible to go with safety to the pa
tient. His case is a terrible one, and his
sufferings have been borne with the pa
thence characteristic of brave man, as
he has proved himself to be in several Of
the bloodiest fields during the late war.
