Washington, March 15.-Mr. Riddle, from
the printing committee, reported resolution
to print ten thousand copies of the report of
the Joint COMMITTEES on Reconstruction, and
the accompanying testimony, for the use Of
the Senate.
Mr.. Davis opposed the resolution. He had
no confidence whatever, or very little, in the
testimony which the men in the employment
of the Freedmen's Bureau give, in relation to
the state of public sentiment in the Southern
States. He said, as sample of the evidence
furnished by the employees of that Bureau,
| he would read a speech made a few weeks
ago by General Clinton B. Fisk in Cincinnati,
and published in the Cincinnati Commercial.
He characterised the statements in it, in rela-
| ton to the treatment of the negro in Ken
lucky, as false and calumnious.
| Four members Of the Reconstruction Com
mittee-M essrs Grimes, Fessenden, johnson
and Willams-in reply to Mr.. Davis, said
that every man who had been named to the
committee by applicants for seats in Con-
gress, had been examined by the committee
The Senate concurred in the House amend
ment to the civil rights bill, which was finally
passed. The bill only awaits the Executive
signature to become a law.

of the Loan bill.

Washington, March 1.-THE Comptroller
of Currency has been at the Senate all day to
prevent the passage of the loan bill He is
acting in the interests of the radical cabal, who
are elated by the success of their double-deal-
ing game to carry New Hampshire. Upon
this they predicate victory in Connecticut but
the President has directed the removal of some
postmasters in that State who are hostile to
him. This creates a tremor in republican
circles. The New Hampshire fraud will
hardly be allowed to succeed in Connecticut.
