WASHINGTON, April 9.-The galleries o
the House of Representatives are crowded
to their fullest capacity. Many persons are
unable to obtain seats. There are alsC
many spectators On the floor. The great at
traction is the Civil Rights bill, returned
from the Senate to-day, and which at 9
quarter past one was taken up by the House
Tor action.
NEW YoRK, April 9.-Tbe Tribune:
Washington special says: Alexander II.
Stephens continues TO receive many calls
from those who have been admirers OF hi.
course for the past five years, and thosC
holding high positions, who are now dis.
posed to make a hero of him. He has be
come very much disheartened as to an early
admission into the Senate, and says he shall
90 back on Wednesday. He has not the
slightest doubt but that he will yet have q
seat given him in the Senate. He esti-
mates the coming cotton crop of the South
at three million bales.
1t is generally expected that the Presi-
dent will in a few days release JEFF. Davis
and Clement c. Clay On parole. There is
no probability Of their ever being tried for
their participation in the conspiracy by
which the President was murdered. Il Is
not unlikely that Congress will again call
kGUL
secret, and its existence known to but few
persons. Judge Holt has expressed his
opinion in writing that it was enough to
convict them, and no one is more surprised
at their not being tried than Judge Advocate
Holt.
Washington special says six of the Al
exandria rioters have been convicted by a
military commission, aud sentenced to hard
labor in Albany jail. John MenkIn, for five
years; JnO. Lawler, two years; Jno Travem,
Joseph Horsemau and Gilbert Simpson,
each six months. Oscar Menkin is not vet
sentenced, as he is liable to trial for muder.
When the criminals left Alexandria for Al
bany, the female sympatbizers, aud others,
met at the depot and cheeTed and waved
their handkerchief as they left.
As Gen. Banks has never submitted re-
port Of the battle Of Cedar Mountain, Va,
and the siege of Port Hudson, the Secretary
of W ar has called upOn-him for said reports,
which the General Is at present engaged in
preparing.
Reports were received Saturday By the
Commissioners Of Customs from revenue
officer stationed between Ogdensburg and
RonO's Point, detailing the capture Of sew
erai cargoes Of struggled goods, consisting
mostly of liquors, and amounting in value
TO several thousand dollars.
The Times Washington special saws: A
delegation from the Western Press Associa-
ton are urging upon the Ways and Means
Committee a reduction of the present duty
on unsized paper from twenty per cent 10 a
duty not exceeding SIX per cent.
The Treasury Department received, day
or two ago, statement from the Bank Su-
perintendent Of Albany, New York, show
ing the number and condition of the State
Banks in existence in that State. 1t appears
that there are one hundred and four iustitu-
tons issuing their own notes. The amount
OF their circulation up to January LIST, was
50, 100000. ALI the State banks, after the
1st July next, viii have TO pay ten per cent
on every dollar they pay out, whether in
their own notes or those Of other banks. Be
fore the present national banking system
went into operation, the banks Of the State
Of New YORK had circulation Of S26, 600 zoo.
The Commissioner OF the General Land
Office, having received a number Of com
muuications from soldiers and others who
have served during the late war, announces
in reply that there is no law granting land
or bounty land warrants to soldiers or sail
ors engaged in the late war against the re-
bellion. The acts of the Sd of March. 1855.
and l4th Of March, 1856, apply only to per-
sons who had served in the army and navy
the 2lst of March, 1866, grants homestead
OF one hundred and sixty acres to soldiers.
sailors and citizens who reside thereon a
period of five years, at q cost Of $40 and the
registers and receivers fees. Soldiers and
sailors may file applications for home
stead while in the military or naval service,
sud the period thereafter in which they
may remain in service viii be counted as a
portion OF the Eve years residence required.
The Herald's Washington special says :
Considerable sensation was crested Satur-
day in this city, by the sudden death of a
couple in a family Of col0red people, with
all the symptoms Of cholera Investigation
disclosed the facts that the habitatlon Of
the family was in an extremely filthy con-
dition, and that others Of its members were
likely 70 suffer from that cause.
The Times Washington special gives the
statements Of Maj. Walker, Of the 5th o.
S. cavalry, regular army, respecting the
political and social condition OF South Caro-.
lima. The Major, who served with distinc-
ton through the war, has Just returned
from that section Of the country, and gives
8 most encouraging account OF these mat
tiers. He says the freedmen everywhere
are busily and peacefully az work, and there
seemed 10 be 10 signs Of idleness or discon-
tent anywhere The only serious troubles
in that State lately, have resulted from the
depredatiOns and outrages Of guerrilla
band calling themselves regulators or re-.
formers. This band, about 100 strong, led
by notorious ex-rebel officer, made il their
chief business 10 modest the freedmen, but
by degrees began to plundeT blacks and
whites indiscriminately, and the latter man
ifested a willingness % aid in exterminating
them. As fast as captured they wall be
tried g. outlaw and ii convicted, executed.
