HOUSE PASSES THE RECONSTRUC
TION JOINT RESOLUTION.
No Amendments MRde----An Exciting
Observation-Disclosures TacficS---De-
demonstrations in the Galleries.

WASHINGTON, May, 20.-The cOnstitu.
tiOnal amendment passed the House this
afternoon, amid the usual scenes of interest
and excitement that accompany so impor-
tant an event 1t not only passed without
amendment and Just IS it came from the Re
construction Committee, but secured a large
majority over the requisite two-thirds vote
This was contrary to the anticipations Of
the most ardent friends of the amendment
1t was in fact a strict party vote, with the
exception of q. c. Smith of Kentucky, and
Phelps of Maryland, who voted with the
Democrats against it. There was, however,
a sharp exhibition Of parliamentary tactics
that should not be lost sight of.
When the House was to be brought to a
vote, a large number of Republicans were
opposed to ordering the main question, and
voted with the acknowledgement it. They
did so ON ground that, if the main question
was not determined on, there would be all
opportunity to strike out the the third sec
ton, which DISTINGUISHES all rebels till 1870.
The retention of this section was looked
upon by many as being fatal to the ratifca-
ton by any Southern State, of the amend
ment When a call was completed, il was
manifest that the opponents of the third
section had carried the motion, and that the
main question had not been ordered The
Democrats instantly saw the opportu-
nifty 10 change the result and force the Re
publicans to vote for or against the amend
ment rs a whole, with the third section re-
tanned. Thereupon Messrs. Niblack, Rog-
ers, Kerr, and other Democrats, changed
their votes to the affirmative, which carried
the motion by five majority, and forced the
House to a direct vote on the main question.
There was great confusion and excitement
at this moment, rs nearly two-thirds of the
members were out of their seats. The roll
call was proceeded with and the Repub-
licans 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 applauded,
and members rushed around and congratu-
lated him. The result was received with
great applause on the floor and in the gale
ries. Mr. Eldridge thereupon arose excited
" and hoped the rules would be enforced so
that the "niggerheads,' as he called the
spectators, could not disturb the House. lie
was answered by the spectators with storm
of Kisses. Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey,
thereupon arose and moved that the freed
men" in the galleries be allowed to wave
their handkarchiefS. This was received with
mingled applause and Kisses, and added to
the confusion. Finally order was restored,
and in the exuherence Of its feeling the
House adjourned until Monday.

This morning the gallery Of the House directly
in front OF the Speakers chair, was occupied by
one hundred and thirty four of the blacklist con

there was not a 'rhne person among them. They

MAsrERnY INAcT1v1rY.-The New
Orleans Bee, closing review of the
constitutional amendment and the
demands of the North, says:
eve see no other policy open to
the Southern people with respect to
national politics but mastery mac
tivity; pursued to the bitter end with
resolute patience, behind which, as
behind an impregnable wall, they
may address themselves diligently to
all matters that concern their mate
rial prosperity"
We see many evidences that this
will be the purpose of the South.
The people there will, for the time,
abandon politics, and leave the con-
sequences to themselves, and the
country with their radical persecut-
ors. The whole country, and, as a
matter Of course, the South with it,
will suffer from this coercion, for
there will be no stability in trade, no
substantial order in Government,
until the Union is restored.

BURGLARY IN WILLIAMSBURG DIS
TR1cT.-On Friday night last, the
store of Mr.. W. l.. Lee, at Leesville.
on the Northeastern Railroad, in
Williamsburg District, was robbed of
large quantity of goods, amounting
to about 81, 500 worth. The robbery
took place early in the night, about 8
o'clock. On the arrival of the cars
from Charleston, Mr.. Lee, who is
agent at that place for the Express
Company, closed his store and walked
short distance to the depot, and on
his return discovered that the door of
his store had been forced open and
the goods taken. The thieves, in
their haste, left hat and some other
wearing apparel, which Mr.. Lee re-
cognized as belonging to and worn
by negro i'll that neighborhood.

CHE PEOPLE. The SIN falls into
the common error, that the people
have decided for Congress and against
the President. Count the whole adult
people of the United States, and the
avcrment is not correct. Count all
the legal voters of the country, and
the statement is erroneous. But
count om 100000 voting Southern
people and 2, 600, 900 who vote against
Congress in the North, and then the
Sun is correct. TO silence tens of
thousands OF voters in States like
Tennessee, Maryland and Missouri,
and to refuse any hearing to the peo-
pie In ten other States, is not to rep
resent the people or to speak for the
people.-NeD York Express.

reason, hesitate to make q return of

ton. Penalty of refusal is q fine OF
$500! and imprisonment. The five
days allowed by law expire to-mor-

All the defeated radical candidates
for Congress threaten to contest the
election. Stewart, defeated by Phelps,
has made strong and vindictive
speech against President johnson.
He has been in close communion
lately with a prominent Pennsylvania
and Washington politician.

INA NUTSHELL. jenkins, of
Georgia, thus epitomises the objec-
ton to the constitutional amend
ment:
'To submit to injurious changes in
the Constitution, when forced upon a
Stat according to the forms pre-
scr for its amendment, would be
on ,h1ng; to participate in making
them, under duress, against her sense
of right and justice, would be very
different thing. The difference in
principle is as broad as that which
distinguishes martyrdom from sui
eide. Far better calmly await a re-
turning sense of justice, and q conse-
quent refux of the tide now running
strongly against u.s.

The Revival OF AN HrsroR1cA1
FAcr.-The La Crosse (Wisconsin)
Democrat revives the fact that, on the
22d of April, 1862, MIR. G. L. Vallan-
dlgham addressed a letter to Ahra-
ham Lincoln, enclosing an article
from the Wheeling1Va. Mtelhgencer.
which advocated the assassination of
him, (Mr. Vallandigham.) It was
copied, with approval, into the Cleve-
land (Ohio) Leader. The editors of
both papers were postmasters under
Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Vallandigham sug-
gested that the latter remove from
office those who thus melted murder
OF political opponents. Mr.. Lincoln
paid no attention to the request, but
continued to give them his patronage.
Three years after, in the same month,
he himself fell by the hand of an as
sassin-a victim to the instrument
tality that he had been invoked in
vain to discountenance by q with
drawal Of his support.

GREELEY GROWING CONSERVATIVE.
The New York Gri6ene, of Monday,
lectures the New England radicals in
the following style:
"Ihere are restless spirits in ell
parties and sections, who meon t.
keep the country distracted and aoi.
tated indefinitely; but they are n
very small minority Of the whole
people. Faction and folly may give
them q temporary ascendancy, but
the great majority, who anxiously
desire peace and contentment, must
be badly misled if they do not soon
achieve the fruition Of their hopes
and eforts.''
