Congressional Gossip.
The Herald's special says: Mr.. Bingham,
of Ohio, will tackle the Reconstruction
Committee and their report, the first thing
Tuesday morning, with q proposition to
amend it so that It will conform to his views
on the subject of the basis of representation.
The Radicals believe they can easily
make the Reconstruction Committees work
acceptable to the President, pass it after a
couple of days, get Tennessee to ratify il,
and admit her Representatives to Congress
within twenty days.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
to whom the Mexican loan endorsement
scheme was referred, are about ready to re-
port, and will probably will do so on Thurs
day. 1t is understood that all the Republic
can members of the committee, with the
exception of Gen. Banks, voted to report
faTorably upon the proposition.
Mr.. Trumbulls amendment on the Office
bill, which prevents the payment of any
money or salaries to officials who are ap-
pointed nuring the recess, except in cases
OF death, resignation, or expiration Of term
office, has such strength in the Senate as
would guarantee its passage by both houses,
either as an amendment on the appropris-
ton or a separate bill.
Horace II. Days Niagara Ship Canal bill
was to day got through the House as a mil
itary measure. All the farming land front
ing on the river on the American side, for
at least seven miles below the falls, is en-
numbered with contracts for use and occu-
patton, secured by Horace Day long ago in
anticipation of the passage of the bill. Next
year ten millions will be asked for.
