The Florida House of Representa-
tives has adopted report and reso-
lutions upon the case of Colonel Geo.
st. Leger Grenfel, who was arrested
and tried by military commission,
for conspiring to release Confederate
prisoners at Camp Douglas, and to
burn Chicago. He was sentenced to
DEATH but the sentence was comEnuted
to Imprisonment for life at the Dry
Tortugas in Florida, where he now is.
The committee say that the charges
are utterly groundless and the Colonel
is victim to perjury. Speaking of
the resolutions the Cincinnati Enquri-
er says: The tribunal that tried Gren-
fel was a military commission-an
illegal and mock court-and has been
so declared by the Supreme Court of
the United States. His incarceration
is, therefore, monstrous outrage, and
steps ought to be taken to release him
without delay.

A Washington telegram announces
that several SeNNors and members
have considered the propriety of urg-
ing on the Joint Committee on Recon
struction the reporting of a joint reso-
luton, declaring as the sense Of Con
gress that the constitutional amend
ment is the finality of the basis of res
toration, and that in the event of its
ratification no other terms will be de-
manded by this Congress of the South
ern States. 1t is urged that this is
done to relieve the doubts in the
premises set forth in Southern Legis-
latures where the ratification of the
amendment has just been refused.
This movement will hardly succeed.
The most influential radicals declare
the constitutional amendment Is not a
fnality and viii therefore defeat the
Contemplated joint resolution.
