Another Freedmen,s Bureau Bill.

The bill introduced into the House Of Repre-
sentatives, on Monday last, by Mr.. Beaman,
is so referred TO by the New York Times as to
lead us to suppose that it may receive the Pre-
sident's sanction. We therefore deem 1t OF
sufficient Importance to give synopsis OF its
features, which are these
It authorizes supervision over all loyal refu-
gees and freedmen, and all matters relating TO
them, to enable them as speedily as practica-
BILE to become self.supporting citizens OF the
United States, so that their freedom may be
rendered available and beneficial TO the Repub-
lie. 1t authorizes the appointment of two adj
ditional assistant commissioners, and DIVISION
of districts into snb-districts not exceeding
the number of counties or parishes in the dis
trict. 1t allows details of military officers
without increase of pay. If agents are taken
from civil life their salaries are confined Wlthin
the limits of five hundred dollars and twelve
hundred dollars per annum. III found neces-
sary such commissioners may have three
clerks each, and each agent one clerk each, at
a salary not exceeding one thousand dollars
per annum. And II shall be the duty OF the
commissioners, when IL can be done con.
sis ten tly with the public interests, to appoint
as assistant commissioners, agents and clerks,

faithful service in the armies OF the Union

wAsHISeros, February 2s.--SExATE.-The
Senate debated till adjournment the concur
rent resolution declaring that no Senator or
Representative from the lately rebellious
States shall be admitted until Congress de.
cides that they are entitled to admission.
HorsR.--The House debated, and then post
poned till the second Tuesday of April, the
proposed constitutional amendment relative
TO the privileges and immunities of citizens In
the several States, etc.
The vote on postponement was-ayes, ITO
noes, 81. Even the Republicans were disagreed
as to the effect Of this amendment.
During the debate, Mr.. Bingham, Of Ohio,
caused to be read an article In the Norfolk
Post, saying that the veto was the greatest
triumph since the first battle Of Bull Run, and
that President Johnson was q more efficient
ally of the South than Lee or Jackson.
Mr.. Marshall in vain explained that the
editor wrote ironically. Mr.. Bingham re-
piled that whether the article was writ.
ten ironically or as an expression of the
views of the secessonists, Ii afforded view Of
the feelings of the South, and he suggested
that at no distant day, testimony would be
adduced to show to every honest man who
wishes we'll TO his country that there is con.
spiracy extending throughout every State
lately in instruction under the invitation to
kill the fatted calf" to swear them all and
take possession of the legislative power of our
country and accomplish, by false and corrupt
legislation, what they failed to accomplish by
arms.
mo one read the article in the Norfolk Post
above alluded to, with more indignation than
those who were known as the true southern
men of Virginia. The Post intended it as a
stab at the South and the President, and 1t
was so understood by everybody who read it.
Mr. BINGHAM might, with as much propriety,
have read an article from FoRSEY's Chronicle
to sustain his cause We are glad that the
House, by an immense vote, showed that il
put just estimate upon such tricks.l
