THE MEMPHIS MASSACRE.
The Affair Entirely Crusade of the Rebels
Against Loyal Population.

WASHINGTON, MAY 9.-Judge Kelley
received this morning letters from several
Memphis correspondents, whose names are
not given lest they might fall vic Tins to the
mob. One writer, speaking of the mob,
says: Aside from being midnight burners
''of churches and school houses, they robbed
women and children and men-sparing
none on Occount of age, sex, physical dis
abilities, or innocence of crime-even
burning women and children alive" An
''other letter is as follows

RECONSTRUCTION.
The Congressional Plan-The Constitutional
Amendment passed by the House Sharp
Parliamentary tactics Enthusiasm on the
Floor and in the Galleries.

Especial Dispatch to Pittsburg Commercial
WASHINGTON, May 10th. The Constitu-
tional Amendment passed the House this
afternoon, amid the usual scenes of intense
excitement that accompany so important an
event. 1t not only passed without amend
ment, and just as it came from the Recon
struction Committe, but secured large ma
jority over the requisite two-third vote.
This was contrary TO the anticipations of the
most ardent friends of the amendment. Il
was in fact a strict party vote, with the ex-
ception of G. G. Smith of Kentucky, and
Phelps of Maryland, who voted with the
Democrats against it. There was, however,
sharp exhibition of parliamentary tactics
that should not be lost sight of When the
House was to be brought to vste, large
number of Republicans were opposed to or
dering the main question, and voted with
the Democrats against it. They did so on
the ground that if the main question was
determined on, there would be no opportu-
nifty to strike out the third section, which
di di-franchises all rebels until 1870. The re-
tention of this section was looked upon by
many as being fatal to the ratification by
any Southern State of the amendment
When roll-call was completed, it was mani
fest that the opponents of the third section
question had not been ordered.
The Democrats instantly saw the oppor-
tunity to change the result and force the
Republicans to vote for or against the a.
mendment as whole, with the third section
retained. Thereupon Messrs. Niblack, Rog-
ers, Kerr and other Democrats changed
their votes to the affirmative, which carried
the motion by five majority, and forces both
Houses to direct vote on the main question
| There was great confusion and excitement
at this moment, as nearly two thirds of the
members were out of their seats. .The roll
call was proceeded with, and the Republl-
cans met the issue and voted solid for the
amendment, with the exception of the two
members already named. When the name
of Mr. Raymond was reached he answered
to the great surprise of the House in the
| affirmative His vote was warmly applaud
| ed, and members rushed around and con
graduated him.
The result was received with great ap
plause on the floor and in the galleries. Mr.
| Eldridge thereupon arose excltedly and
hoped that the rules would be enforced, SC
that the niger heads" as he called the
spectators, could not disturb the House.
| He was answered by the spectators, with q
storm of misses. Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey
| thereupon arose and moved that the freed
men in the galleries be allowed to wave
their handkerchiefs. This was received
| with mingled applause and misses, and ad
ded to the confusion Finally, order was
restored, and in the exuberance of its feel
ing the House adjourned until Monday.
