event. The following is the substance Of
the proposition, which was received with
the greatest favor ~ the nesting:
First. constitutional amendment, has
ing rePrsseatation upon population, and
providing that wheneyer any State denies
suffrage to any class of citizens of the
United States, for any reason except partie-
ipatiOn IN rebellion, such disfranchised
class or portion shall be deducted from the
basis Of representation.
Second. A constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting the payment Of the rebel debt and
providing that there shall never be com
pensation for emsneipated slaves.
Third. As part Of the plan of restora-
/ ton it Is proposed that whenever these
amendments be ratified by sufficient num-
Der of States to make them a part of the
Constitution, then each Of the rebellious
States shall be entitled to the admission of
its Representatives on their taking the re-
quired oath of Office.
Fourth. The following classes Of persons
to he forever debsrred from holding Office
under the United States Government The
President, Vice President, heads of de-
partments, members of Congress, Judges Of
the Supreme Court of the Confederate
| States, their representatives at foreign
| courts, all persons who left official positions
under the United States Government toad
in the rebellion ; ali who served in the rebel
army above the rank of colonel, or in the
navy above the. rank Of master; and all
persons guilty OF treating our prisoners
contrary to the rules Of war.
This proposition was not formally ADOPT
ed, but it was agreed that it should be pre-
scented to the Reconstruction Committee as
that which would be generally acceptable
TO the New York delegation. The question
| Of negro suffrage condition, either immedi-
a.ely or remote, was received with very
little favor. The question of the immediate
admission of Tennessee was not discussed
but such members as expressed themselves
at all were decidedly in favor of it. Il is
understood that three of the most prOmi-
nent memoers Of the Reconstruction Com
mittee VIII urge this position, viz: sena-
tor Harris, and Representatives CoDkling
and Boutwell,.
Attorney-General Speed has gone West 10
recruit his health, which is somewhat i'm
paired by close and unremitting application
| to business. The determination Of the time
! and place Of trial Of jeff. Davis will not be
made until sir. Speeds return.
In all probability, unless something
| occurs which IS not now anticipated by the
Administration, the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, believing that the time has come when
the Government should no longer be in the
| position o, a borrower of money, today
ordered the Assistant United states Treasu-
i rer TO discontinue the reception Of deposits
| for temporary loans.
The Senate will take up the universal
| suffrage bill for the District Of Colum bia
next week. SO say several Republicans.
Among the nominations sent TO the Senate
| this afternoon by the President, were the
| following: Colonel B. H. Brewster, TO be
| United states District Attorney for Ken
| lucky Charles NJ. Webster, Deputy Post
master at Fort 2 ain, New York ID. G.
| Gregg, Receiver of Public Money at Carson
| City, Nevada; John A. CLARK, Surveyor
General Of the Territory of New Mexico,
and the following Receivers Of Land Offices,
viz v. Royal Buck, Nebraska City Charles
r. Dorsey, Brownsville, Nebraska, and VIII
| liam F. Sweeney, Omaha, Nebraska.
Senator Morgan, being on the Committee
| on Commerce, when the case of Mr.. smythe
came up for action, it was referred to Gov.
| Morgan, as the Senator from New YORK. Il
Is customary TO report back cases after one
weeks delay, and q report Of the case may
be expected by the committee to-day; but
| nothing was said by Senator Morgan, and
as there is no meeting Of the committee IN
Ill next Thursday, no action viii be mad
upon the case during the interim. II is
supposed that no objection Of moment will
I DC mdOt 10 MS continuation.
Messrs. Easts, Clifford and Rousseau have
been retained by the Government for the
| trial Of jeff Davis. They were here yes
terday, arranging the case, though the time
and place Of trial have not been definitely
| settled.
The Times special says: The would be
Senators from Colorado were upon the floor
OF the House to-day, urging the case Of that
| TERRITORY among the members, but the pros
peet is not as good as its friends could wish,
| Many Republicans express a dissemination
| to oppose lt-sOme for the same reason that
Mr.. Sumner did, and others because it is
certain TO provoke another veto, which will
still further ALLEVIATE the President and Con
gress, and still others for the very excellent
reason that to give Colorado, with 25, 900 in
habitants, the same representation in the
Senate as the great State of New York, is
manifestly unjust and unjustiiable, without
any reasonable grounds whatever.
The Herald's special says: General Grants
| visit to Richmond was marked with many
pleasing incidents and gratifying results
| People Hooked to see him in large mum bers
from curiosity, no doubt, but during his
stay he was called upon respectfully by
such persons as Robert Ould, ex-rebel COM
missioner for exchange of prisoners, Gen.
Joseph Anderson, Of the Tredegar Iron
Works, Generals Wickham aud Hen.
1 ningsen, Judge Lyons, and Meredith, Hill
Carter, Walter, Harrison and other influen-
tial citizens. The ladies also called upon
Mrs. Grant freely, and every one who called
manifested becoming feeling and ssnti.
ments. The Railroad company placed 9
special car at his disposal. The SpOttswood
House assigned him q large suite of rooms
The Ballard House offered to do the same
and every one Wed to contribute TO his com.
fort and pleasure. He dined once will
Gen. Turner temporarily commanding
visited Fort Harrison and other points o
interest, and returned well pleased with hi
visit.
The Tribune's Washington special says
The statement is whispered about thi
evening that the Senate today in executiv,
session discussed some other matter thar
military combinations, which we're passed
upon without opposition. II rumor is to b
, credited, the majority Of the Senate very
, distinctly announced that no nomination
should be confirmed when made to I'll
place made vacant by the removal Of opin
ion, save Of any competent officer who sup
ported the election Of Andrew johnson il
| the last Presidential election. The Senat
IS bound to sustain the Presidents earlies
