Congressional.

WASHINGTON, July l1.-SENATE.-Mr.
Howard withdrew his amendment to the
reconstruction bill, which specified the
certain classes entitled to register, with the
remark that as there was large share of
judicial power left in the hands of the dis
trict commanders it would perhaps be as
we'll to leave them to determine the matter.
The fourth section was amended by
adding that any person appointed by the
district commander may be removed by
him."
Mr.. Drake introduced an amendment
demanding some additional guarantees
pertaining to the admission Of representa-
tivcs from the States, but it was ruled out
of order. Mr.. Drake appealed from the
Chair to the Senate, which sustained the
Chair-24 to 13.
Mr.. Buckalew offered his amendment,
making the vote for congressman cumula-
tive, giving each elector as many votes as
there were congressional districts in the

House resumed the consideration of the
concurrent resolution to adjourn in. Octo-
Der. Elaborate arguments on impeach-
mcnt ensued, and finally Stevens moved
the previous question on the resolution
that the judiciary Committee be ordered
to report particularly to the House this
session. The demand for the previous
question was not sustained.
Mr.. Wilson moved that the committee
be ordered to report at the next session
and that the committee be allowed to prin
1900 copies Of its report. The demand
for the previous question by Mr.. Wilson
was sustained, and the resolution passed
Mr.. Stevens then said he abandoned TIT
matter, and moved that his resolution III

CHURCH lMBRoGLIo.-There was some
excitement in Bcrryville, Va, on Sunday
last, because Of military interference in
church affairs there. Some three weeks
ago the trustees Of the Episcopal Metho-
dist church at that place received an order
from General Schoiield commanding that
Joint occupancy be given to the Metho-
dist Episcopal Tor northern) congregation.
One OF the trustees OF the Episcopal Me-
thodist church waited on the military au-
thorities here, and was directed to retain
possession Of the keys, but to open the
church every other Sabbath for thc dis
putants until the matter could be disposed
of finally. Two weeks ago, as per order,
the church was opened at an early hour,
but the malcontcnts refused to worship
because the key was not in their posses
sion. On Sabbath last the church was
again opened for them at o'clock in the
morning, but the services were postponed
until military order, signed by Captain
Chandler, was produced by one Bowel
demanding the delivery Of the keys to 4
certain party named in the order. This
Mr.. Flagg, the gentleman having them in
charge, refused to do, en- the ground tina;
the order did not come in proper form
The military were forthwith brought into
requstion, and Mr.. Flagg was arrested
and brought to Winchester, when, after 6
short detention, he was released. The
Rev. Mr.. Mullen preached to a congrega.

The Surrat. Trial.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE following
evidence given to-day is intended to re-
but Corporal Dyes evidence that Mrs.
Surratt spoke to him from the parlor
window.
Mrs. F. r. Lambert sworn: Witness
resided in this city in April, 1865, at 5c1
Ii street, on the south side, the house
fronting north. Remembered the night OF
the assassination. Between IL and II
o'clock on that night witness heard voice
from the street saying: "The President
is shot," Witness Immediately went TO
the front parlor. Two soldiers were pass
ing. Witness asked them what was the
matter. One Of them replied: "The
President is shot by John Wilkes Booth"
Witness asked what so many soldiers were
doing in town. She thought there might
have been mob or some disturbance.
One replied: I'VE have been to see q
torchlight procession, and are now return
Ing to Camp Barry" 1t was dark and hazy.
Witness saw the men had on soldiers
clothes.
John r. Hollad, who boarded at Mrs.
Surratt's, and went north as detective,
testified: I lost handkerchief marked
John II. Surratt in Burlington.
Mrs. Holliad testified that on the eve
ming of the assassination she left the house
with Mrs. Surratt to 60 to church, but
when they returned they did not go to the
parlor. 1t was about quarter-past when
they went out. Mrs. Surratt was as calm as
witness had ever seen her, and showed nc
nervous excitement whatever.
Eliza Hawkins, colored, contradicts the
testimony of Susan Jackson, who swore
that Surratt took supper at home on the
night Of the l4th.

A SHADOW OF WASHINGTON LIFE
Quite romantic affair transpired before
the chief Of the Accounting Bureau of one
of the departmental Offices on Friday OF
last week, and as several embarrassing
mistakes have already occurred in rcla-
ton to the matter, it is but just that the
truth should be stated. A certain Mrs.
2. appeared before the official in question
upon the day specified, and informed him
that herself and Husband, an employe of
his Office, had been boarding for some time
past on Third street, in the same family
boardeda dashing young widow named Mrs.
E., who was also employe in the same office.
During the recent warm weather Mrs. Z.
ALLEGES her husband could not sleep, and
would frequently wander about the house
in sort of undrcss uniform. Lately some
thing occurred to arouse Mrs. Prs SuSpi.
cions, and she watched the movements of
her "gay Lothario," and discovered that
in spite Of the almost tropical heat OF the
weather he visited the room OF Mrs. +.
almost nightly during the "wee sma'
hours ayont the twal." a package of let
tiers written by Mrs. f. fell into the hands
of the injured wife, which she exhibited
to the official, and these tender miSSives
from Eloise to Abclard establish the fact
of P.'s infidelity beyond all doubt. The
injured wife declared that she would never
live with her husband again, and asked
the Department to dismiss him, which re-
quest, it is more than probable, will be
granted. Mrs. E., we are informed, has
been notified that her services in that
office can be dispensed with after the LIST
proXimo.-Stdr.

REsUsCITATIoN OF VIRGISIA.-Mr. Jo-

Chester county, Pennsylvania, has been
prospecting through the adjacent coun-
ties during the present ten days with a
view to inducing cmigrants from the North
to locate here if he should find the induce
mcnt sufficient. He started this morning
on his return to Pennsylvania, and in
formed us that in q week or ten days he
should return in company with some six
or eight gentlemen from his State, and
that he doubted not that they would, upon
examination Of the soil and location, de-
terminc with him to cast their lot with
Virginia. This movement toward Vir-
ginia is, we are convinced, growing
stronger every day, and we hail with in
