cats found on the public highways.

| Washington, June s.-The final
report of the reconstruction committee
was received in both houses to-day,
and passed the Senate by a vote OF
SO to II.
| The report, after revising AZ d con-
demning the Presidents mode of in
) augurating civil government, says
the committee were accordingly
forced to conclude that the Southern
States have not placed themselves in
condition to claim representation
in congress. unless all the rul, .
: which have prevailed since the foun-
dation Of the government. and deemed
essential in all such cases, shall lie
disregarded. The committee re-
viewed at length the present con-
dition Of the Southern People say
, that the latter claimed as right, the
f privilege to participate in the govern
ment they sought to overthrow
while their press abounds in abuse
} of the loyal States. loyal men, and
F efforts are made to perpetuate deadly
hate and discord against the federal
government. Indeed. all the kind
feeling on the part of the north has
been treated with contempt. The
bitterness of defiance against the
United States government has been
unparalleled in the history Of the
world. Our leniency is received
with the insulting denial of our au-
thority; our kind desire for frater-
nal relations, with inso!ent assnmp-
ton Of the right and privileges; the
{ crime we have punished is paraded
as virtue. and the principles of re-
publican government. which have
been vindicated at such a terrib BILE
cost, denounced as unjust and op
pressive. The committee declared
that the great mass of the southern
people became insurgents, traitors,
and all assumed and occupied politi.
cal and practical relation of enemy to
the United States government, which
did not cease till they were conquer
ed and reduced to the condition of
enemies, and entitled to such rights,
privileges and conditions only as
may be considered safe by the con-
querors Before resuming federal
relations they must establish, with
the consent Of the people, republic
can form of government in harmony
with the constitutional law Of the
United States; that all hostile pur.
poses have ceased, and give adequate
guarantee against future treason and
rebellion satisfactory to the govern
ment, and can be restored to civil
and political rights only by the per-
mission and authority Of that power
against which they rebelled
The committee says the power of
the conqusror is not vested in the
president that he cannot fix terms
of settlement and confer congression-
al representation on conquered rebels.
The resolution of the committee
passed to day make all persons born
or naturalised in the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
citizens Of the United States and
State where residing, and no State
