THE NEWS

WAsHINaToN, July 49, The House
had an hours sharp debate on the We
to OF the Reconstruction bill, TO the
reading of hich it paid the strictest
attention. Governor Boutwell, began
by claiming that the President made
q direct issue, and declared that he
would not execute the law. IIisspeech
was received with universal attention
and was one Of the strongest and
most effective yet made regarding mn
parchment. His colleague, Mr.. wills
liams, of the Judiciary Committee,
secuted the destinations going out
over the country, that the evidence
taken was Of little Importance. he
considered it conclusive, and all-sutfi-
Gent. General Schenck spoke in
strong terms of the absurdity OF al
tempts 10 patch a reconstruction,
while the greater obstacle was left un-
touched. Mr.. Stevens affirmed that
impeachment was impossible because
of secret and powerful influences to
prevent it. Chairman Wilson declar.
ed that he was not sitting a. parti~
Fan, and denounced what he termed
the bounding down of man Tor eN-
ercising the right of private judg
mcnt. The speakers on the demo
cratic side were Randall, Boyer aud
Pruyn. None of them made any
point of note. Mr. Stevens called the
nreyiOuS question. and the bill WAS
passed 109 90 "a strict party vote.
\ few minutes after veto number
two, retnrningthe appropriation Bill
for carrying out the new law, came
in and was passed without debate, as
soon as the yeas and na> could be
called.
An hour later the Senate had pass
ed both by the requisite two-thirds
vote. " Without debate.

Thrilling Adventure with Burglars.

One OF the most bold and remarka-
bic cases of house breaking occurred
at the residence of Mrs. Hawks, No,
552 Fort ST., between three and four
o'clock last Sunday morning. One
or more burglars procured ladder,
which they put up to an open wins
dow leading into the sleeping room
of the servant girl. Entering thro
the window, they made thorough
examination OF the apartments ofthe
girl without awakening her. From
there they went into the room OF q
son of Mrs. Hawks, took his clothing
and conveyed it into an unoccupied
room, and then pillaged it of some
SO IN money and some jewelry. In
the same room was his vest, in which
was a watch and some money, but it
seems to have been overlooked. One
of the thieves descended to tho room
below, occupied by Mrs. Hawks and
her daughter, from. which he convey.
ed sunday dresses, and made a
thorough examination of their pock-
cts. de was rewarded in this enter
prise by procuring purse contain
ing small amount OF money belong
ing to Mrs. Hawks He then return
cd and commenced TO open the bu
reau drawers, which awakened Mrs.
Hawks and her daughter. Mrs. Ii.
screamed and demanded To know
who was there aud what he wanted.
Exhibiting pistol, he replied with
ey, and that if she did not lie down
he would shoot her dead Miss
Hawks saw that her mother was e.
~ much frightened, and asked per-
mission to go and obtain glass of
water for her. He cody replied
that he would get it for her; that he
knew the house as well rs she did,
and get the water he did. He then
made thorough examination Of the
room, securing two gold watches, one
Of which had chain OF gold and Jet.
After securing this amount of booty,
