WAsn1NdToN, May l8.-In the Senate,
to-day, Mr. Sumner presented the petition of
sunary colored citizens, asking that the second
clause Of the pending constitutional amend
ment be stricken out and one substituted for
it declaring that no Congressman from tn"
South be allowed to sit in the House of Rep
resebtatives, who is not chosen by at least half
the loyal men, without regard to color.
He also presented petition for the trial Of
Jefferson Davis by Court Martial. In con-
nection with this he said that the trial Of
Davis at Richmond, at the present time, would
be one of those great comedies which would
hereafter excite the derision of the world
The petition was referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs.
The business of the House to-day was main
ly confined to the consideration of the Tax
Bill.

Infamous Behavior Of Negro Troops.

The following facts are furnished by one of
the conductors of the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad, (Mr Fowler,) who obtained
them from another conductor (Nlr. Tighe)
who was himself an eyewitness of what is
here related: :
Last Thursday week (April l9) about $50
negro troops we're transported over the Mem
phis aud Charleston Railroad from Tuscumbia
to Huntsville. Before starting, many of the
colored soldiers loaded up their guns, and, on
the way we're constantly amusing themselves
by firing from the windows of the cars, un-
checked by their white officers, at any white
people that might come within range Of their
vision. They deliberately fred at a man
ploughing in the fields, between Courtland
and Decatur, but fortunately missed HIM But
it was at leighton, fiagstation few miles
west of Courtland, that they perpetrated their
greatest enormity-one Of those now oft-recur-
ring outrages which are so we'll calculated to
set on fire the passions Of Southern men and
make them perfectly ruthless in their hatred
toward, not only the criminal negroes, but also
the bad white men who have deluded the ig-
norant blacks in the belief that they are now
the ruling race, and that vengeance is duty.
At Leighton, one of these black devils saw
a lady-Mrs Osborne King standing on the
balcony of her residence, with her infant child
in her arms, about $50 or 200 yards from the
moving train, whereupon he raised his gun,
and pointing it through one of the windows of
the car, took deliberate aim at the lady and
fred The ball struck Mrs. Kings thumb,
tearing off the nail. passing on through the
clothing of the child, and lodged in the feshy
part Of the slady's arm ipaieting q sseY ere,andr
most painful wound. After the perpetration
of this helish cnormity, negro sergeant who
was present in the same car, was heard to ap-
prove the deed, and cried out, "Keep on
shooting, boys, if you want to; don't shoot at
anybody in particular, but keep on shooting.
'Twon't make any difference if you do kill a
few of the -- seccsh" The white officers
of the train of course heard the shooting which
was going on at intervals all the way from
Tuscumbia to Huntsville, but they made not
the least effort to put a stop to it; on the con-
trary, they seemed to enjoy the sport.
Now, we would like to ask Gen. Thomas
and general evcrybody-e who has authority
in this country, how long this sort of thing is
to continue unwhipt of justice

HIsToRIcAL FAcT.-It is fact that the
Democratic party has always sustained every
incumbent Of the Presidential chair who has
defended the Constitution, and the anti. Demo
Gratis have heartily opposed all such. The
only three Presidents ever, elected by the anti
Democrats we're Harrison, Taylor and Lin
coin Each died in the Presidential office,
and were succeeded by Vice Presidents cleo
ted by the same party. In each case the anti
Democrats quarreled with the Vice President
because they would insist on being guided
by the Constitution they each, in turn
had to throw themselves for support on the
Democratic party. These.are significant his
torica facts. What do they teach?

KILLING NO M URDER. mas or late
been a controversy among several party Jour-
nails about the administration of Gen. De.
vens, who has been on duty since tho war in
South Carolina Without referring to the
merits Of this controversy we mention it to
state that it revealed avery, strange circum
stance which occurred in General Devens'
command in South Carolina. Lieutenant
Colonel Trowbridge, commanding the 33d
United States colored troops, put to death,
without trial, man named Calvin Crozier
for the alleged murder of private in the
regiment, uamed Mills. After Crozier's death
it appears that Mills was not killed, and q
military court of inquiry has passed upon
Trowbridge's conduct. The court acquitted
him Of all blame, and Mills the man said to
have been murdered, was in court alive at the
time, had his wound examined by members
of the court, and yet was never called to tes-
tify by the Judge Advocate of the. court
Gen Devens reviewed che case, and sent it
back to the court to be heard over agaie, but
the court persisted in its former opinion that
.Trwbridge was free from sll blame, and he was
released from arrest. - Ihtladelphia Ledger.

A SPECIAL despatch to the Charleston
Courier" dated Washington, May Is. says ::
The 4" New York Herald's" correspondent,
accompanying Generals Steedman and Fuller
ton, writes as follows:
"The Commissioners found the Freedman's
Bureau in South Carolina disturbing and
fomenting discord Accounts from the Sea
Islands represent the perpctraton of all kinds
Of fraud and rascalities under the shadow of
the Bureau. The lands allotted under Sher-
mans's order are universally left uncultivated.
The negroes won't labor, except under the
alternative of starvation. Affairs latterly,
however, are improving. "The great draw
backs in South Carolina are lack of capital
and too much of the Freedmens Bureau"
In the House too day, the judiciary Com.
mittee decided that the evidence adduced to
implicate Davis in the assassination is utterly
unreliable, and the charge is, therefore drop
