THE REPORT OF THE RECONSTRUCTION ooMMITTEE IN
THE HousE-THE AMENDMENT TO THE PosToFFtcE
APPROPRIATION BILL-BlLL TO REPEAL THE cry
CHARTERS OF WASHINGTON AND GEORGETOWN.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The House spent another
day on the Reconstruction Committeereport Nine
speeches were made, and the debate developed a
general approval of the pending constitutional
amendment. Mfr. RAYMOND of New York while
not willing to accept it as conditional precedent
to Southern representation was willing that all of
the amendment but the third section, depriving
those who voluntarily aided the rebellion from
voting for Federal officers till 1870, should be
passed by Congress and sent to the States for rat
tication.
A vote will be taken tomorrow on the question.
1t looks now as though the DISTINGUISHING clause
will fail to get the requisite two thirds vote.
The Senate spent another day on the proposi-
ton to prevent officers appointed by the Pres-

wide range, and covered the entire ground of re-
construction. The tenor of the debate may be
Judged from the remarks of Senator Wilson, that
all of the supporters of Andrew johnson could be
placed in street car and from one from Senator
Doolitte that the President would go to the cross
or the scatfold before he would surrender his
principles.

such an issue.
