CongreasiOnaI.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-HoUsE Ell.
lott. of Mess reported bill further. to
amend the registering CT vessels 1t is
in effect, that vessels sailing under for.
eign licenses during the rebellion, shall
not be again entitled to the privilege Of
American vessels, except under the pro.
visions Of an act Of Congress authoriz-
ing such register, which was debated,
but not voted on.
Stevens, from the Committee on Re.
construction, reported back the consti-
tutionat amendmenL with a modi6ca-
ton, striking out the words, "with direct
taxes" and confirming the app1rtion-
ment by reprs sentativesa ~
The resolution, with this exception, is
precisely as originally reported from the
committee. During Stevens's speech in
support of the resolution, he took occa.
sion to speak of President johnson, as
having bat recently put forth procla-
nation, or command, at the very time
Congress was legisIating on the Consti-
tutional Amendment This, Stevens
said, vas in direct violation of the privi-
leges of this body, and if it had been
made several centuries ago, by British
King to a Parliament, it would have
cost him his head; but in this day we
are tolerant of usurpation and the abuse
of power.
Smith, of Kentucky, called for the
reading of the paper to which Mr.. Ste
vens referred. The paper was then
read, being the reported conversation
between the President and distinguish
ed Senator on the subject of the amend
ment of the Constitution.
Stevens, in conclusion, said that if a
three-fourth vote of both houses of Con-
gress be given for the impending amend
ment it would be a law, irrespective of
the signature of the Pres dent, to whom
it had to be presented for approval.
The House rejected Schenck's amend
ment providing that the appointment
shall be according to the number of u.ale
citizens over q years of age having the
qualification requisite for the election
Of the franchise Of the most numerous
branch of the State Legislature, on q
vote of 80 to $40
The House then voted on the resolu-
ton reported from the Reconstruction
Committee; yeas l20, nays 46.

ing voted, therefore declared it pas sed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1866
From information received at this
Office, It is apparent that the provisions
of the 5oth section of the act of June 80,
1864, as amended March 8, 1865. in re-
lation to the purchase and sale of empty
casks with the inspection marks thereon,
are very often disre ysrded.
I By these provisions of the law pen
atty of three hundred dollars is imposed
for the purchase or sale of each cask so
marked.
The object of the law is to prohibit
the traffic The penalty is severe, and
Intentionally so. Both parties to the
contract of sale are liable. IL the ven-
der permits the empty cask to pass out
of his hands without removing the in
spection marks, he il liable to the PEN
atty. If the purchaser receives the
casks with the inspection marks thereon,
be also is subject to the penalty.
If there is purchase or sale OF an
empty spirit cask with the inspection
marks thereon, the intent is impaterial
-or rather, the proof of the ohense is
conclusive as TO the intent
The special attention Of all officers Of
internal revenue ia called to this mat
ter, and they are hereby instructed to
cause prosecutions to be commenced for
all violations of this provision of the
law which may come to their knowledge,
and to see that the Law is strictly en-
forced in thie behalf.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Hon Jas.
Harlan, in card in the Daily ChrOni-

ferred to the President, is so imperfect
as to change the sense, and be adds, af.
ter referring to the danger apprehend-
ed by some in comforting the elective
franchise on a vast number of persons
so recently released from slavery, and
danger on the other hand of excluding
so large q portion of the thoroughly
loyal part of the population from a voice
IN their organization: l expressed my
greater confidence in the ignorant 10y
atty than intelligent treason; and adds
that he had never disguised the prefer
ence, and would not do SO in the future,
concluding with an expression of con-
fdence in the wisdom and virtue of the
President, for whom he was not author
ized to speak, and who had been able in
the present, would be able in the future,
to disclose his own views. ef~

The Explosion or the Miami

CNcIENATI, Jan. 3I,-Ths steamer
Miami had about $50 passengers on
board, among whom were 81 men of
Co. B., 18th U. s. Cavalry. The acci-
dent occurred at seven in the evening,
just after supper, while the passengers
were assembled around the stoves, in
the hall, in conversation. The explo-
sion was of such force as to rend the
cabin floor asunder. and let every per-
son in the forward part of the cabin
down into the mass of steam and fire
below. A great number lost their lives
by jumping overheard. Total loss of
life, supposed to be nearly l50 persons
30 of the soldiers were lost.

a. to the Southern country they have
traversed, and as 10 the necessity for
garrIsoning the South with troops, than
for council concerning the Immediate
affairs Of the army. This proposition is
the more creditabIe, from the introduc-
ton and passage of resolution in the
Senate, to-day. asking the President to
transmit Mai. Gen. Sherman's report of
personal observations in the South. 1T
