WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE,
The Supplemental reconstruction
Bill.

New YORK, July z.
A special dispatch to the Times, dated yes
terday, says that the House reconstruction
committee had a session this morning and
promptly agreed upon bill to be reported on
Monday, as follows:-Section 1 declares the
true intent and meaning of Congress to have
been that the provisional governments hereto
fore existing in the rebel States are illegal and
void, and that they were to be continued sui
ject in all respects to the military commanders
and the authority of Congress only. Section 2
provides that the act to which this is supple
mental, and also that of March 23d, shall be
construed to authorize the military command
ers, whenever they deem it necessary, to re-
move or suspend any officers, State or munich
pal, exercising authority by virtue of such prC-
visionial government, and to appoint others to
their places; and that such commanders shall
also have power to prohibit, suspend or set
aside any act of such governments or of any
subordinate authority thereof the intent of
the aforesaid acts being that such governments
shall continue subordinate to the military, and
all acts done by such commanders shall be
deemed valid. Section 3provides that Boards
of Registration shall admit to registry only
such persons as they shall deem entitled to
registration under the provisions of the acts
aforesaid; taking the oath provided by the act
of March Sd shall not be regarded as conclu-
sive of the right of registration but prima
facie evidence only, and they may receive such
evidence under oath as they may deem proper
from persons applying to be registered or
others. Boards OF Registration may strike
from the lists the name of persons already reg
istered who, in their Judgment, improperly
took the oath was not entitled to be regis
tered, and they shall not be bound or governed
in their action by any opinion OF any officer of
the United States Government Record evil,
dence to prove participation in the rebellion on
the part of those applying for registration shall
not be required. Parole evidence shall be suf-
fcient Section provides that no civil Couit
of the United States or Of any State shall have
jurisdiction OF any proceeding, civil or crin-
nal, against any such district commander for
any official act done under these acts. Section
declares that no district commander shall be
removed from the command assigned to him
without the advice and consent Of the Senate.
unless cashiered or dismissed, or unless he con-
sents thereto.
The judiciary Committee of the SEN
ate also agreed upon BILL which is understood
to be similar to that introduced by Senator Ed
munds, and less stringent in several parsicu-
lars than the above.
