congres..-.stevens, Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 13.
In the House, Stevens bill came up. Mr..
Stevens moved the previous question which
was negatived. He proposed an amend
ment, which on objection being made. he
withdrew, saying that he had tried vainly to
satisfy gentlemen around him.
Mr.. Boutwell, argued that the Supreme
Court might decide that the States were still
States and entitled to representation, which
would cause hazardous conflict, but if the
bill passed, the Supreme Court would have
no governments to reorganize. Congress
would keep in its own hands the political
reorganization of these States by passing the
bill.
At two o'clock Mr.. Stevens again moved
the previous question. Negatived.
Mr.. Bingham spoke in opposition, and
took occasion to highly eulogize Elliot's bill.
Mr.. Blaine moved the previous question to
refer the bill to the judiciary Committee
Seconded.
Mr. Stevens spoke half an hour. He CON-
planned pathetically, defended the reconstruc-
tion committee, scored Bingham, and op-
posed Elliot's. bill because it mentioned
something to be done which looked like
finality leading to admission.
This position was greeted with No MOI"
Mr.. Shellabarger explained that there was
special provision in Elliot's bill requiring
the assent of Congress to the proposed ad-
mission.
Mr.. Stevens seemed to be regaining his
lost power.
The main question was taken on Blaine's
motion to refer to the Judiciary Committee,
which was lost by two votes The Demo-
Gratis generally voted with Blaine
The bill then passed by a vote of 100 to so.
Stevens exulting over the final success of
his bill, asked the Speaker if it was in order
for him to endorse the declaration of good
old Laertes, that "Heaven yet ruled, and
that there were Gods above"
Stevens bill as passed, reads "so-called
Confederate States" instead of " so-called
States"
In the Senate, Mr.. Pomeroy presented a
petition from Arkansas loyalists asking that
Elliot's bill be SO amended as to include Ar
kansas.
Mr.. Wade moved to take up Elliot's House
bill, hoping that Senators would be brief in
thir arguments. ....-.
Mr. Lane asked to proceed with the regu-
lar business.
Mr.. Wade said that if the bill was not ac-
ted on Immediately, it could not become a
law this session.
The Chair decided that the bill could be
read once, but itrequired unanimous consent
to go further. The vote was taken, and it
was agreed to read, by vote of % to 49,
The bill was read.
Mr.. Hendricks objected to further proceed
ings 1t lays over. .a i-a
The Military committee was discharged
from the further consideration of the bill to
pay the Tennessee Home Guards. sd
Mr.. Wade read dispatch from Colora-
do mass meeting requesting admission.

An Innocent Man Convicted and Hung.

An Innocent Man Convicted and Hung.
In recent trial of murder case at At
lanta, Georgia, in which the evidence was
circumstantial, one of the counsel for the de-
fence told the following story of trial
which took place in the same court thirty
years ago:
There then lived on the Bayou road man
about twenty-five or thirty years old. He
was not an educated nor wealthy mrn, but
he was honest and had good heart Hav-
ing had limb broken, he was intirm in
health. He made his livelihood by going to
the bayou ST. John every evening and catch
ing fish to sell in market the next morning.
One moonlight evening, while sitting on the
bank of the bayou, fishing, as usual, he saw
q lady dressed in white, in company with
gentleman, walking on the road beside the
bayou. They were quarrelling as they pass
ed him, and his attention was attracted by
hearing them quarrel. After they passed ne
resumed his fishing, and waited until he
had caught his usual supply. He then start
ed home with his basket. As he reached
the place known as the Caquet, he heard a
loud cry, and soon after feeble cry Adj

saw woman in white gown lying on the
pavement, and, coming to the woman, he
perceived that q dagger had been stabbed
into her bosom. Thinking to relieve her, he
took the dagger by the handle and drew it
out. As he did so a watchman grasped him.
The woman was killed. The poor fisherman
was tried for the murder. The case was
made out clearly against him. He had been
detected in the very act, bending over the
body of the deceased with the weapon in his
hand. He was convicted, and hung at Con-
60 square. About six months after, trial
was going on in Judge Canonge's court
A citizen called as juror, said he did not
wish to be on the jury, and wished to speak
few words to the judge. The judge al
lowed him private conversation. Suppos-
ing that he might have scruples about capi-
tai punishment, the judge asked him if that
was the reason he object ed to being on the
jury. mo-" he answered, "that is not the
reason 1 saw the fisherman hung for the
murder of my wife. He did not do it.

1.-THE PLAN OF ADJUsTMENT."-We pub
lish, in another column, plan proposed by
certain Southern gentlemen who recently
met in Washington (Hon. N. Boyden and
Hon. Lewis Hanes of North Carolina, among
the number) for setting our national difficult
ties. We also give the remarks of the Raleigh
Sentinel on the subject.
1t will be seen that the plan proposes ne
gro suffrage and the only remark that we
are disposed at present to make on the sub
ject is, that it is strange that those who have
opposed the adoption of the Howard amend
ment, should now favor such plan as is pro-
posed. They professed to consider the How
ard amendment, which left the question of
suffrage with the States, as degrading; but
they are now ready to favor plan which
really degrades the Southern white man to
an equality with the negro at the ballot
box. -sr
We warn the people that many of their
Representatives in the Legislature, and poll
tical tricksters and demagogues generally,
are doing great deal of harm, and are un-
worthy of public confidence. We say, with
out any sort of hesitation, that the great mass
of the people are being deceived by so-called
"leading men," We are not a radical and
neither do we sympathize with the radical
party in any respect whatever; but at the
risk of displeasing the public saints and
"salt of the earth" and in defiance of the
strong party combination which now con-
trolls this State, we intend to speak out in
opposition to bad management Charlotte

We clip the following from the Washing
ton correspondence of the Tribune, dated
Monday, Feb. 11th: ..g ~ ~. ,.
Mr. Stevens intends calling up his Con-
fscation bill sometime this week. t-5-
MIR. Delano offered a resolution to-day
setting forth that three -fourths of the States
of the Union had ratified the Constitutional
Amendment, and providing that it shall be
declared adopted and a part of the Consti-
tuition. The Democrats objected to its in
PRODUCTION, and it goes over and awaits its
chances. fst
I'd 1t is understood that Gen. Banks had
an interview to-day with Gen. Grant, in re-
lation to the Military Reconstruction bill.
The General expressed his surprise at the
intimations made that he approved the bill.
He deemed it unwise, os its provisions would
probably bring him into conflict with the
Executive, his immediate Constitutional su-,
perior. He also expressed conviction that
some bill recognizing Civil Government with
the Military to protect and aid, should he
adopted by Congress at the earliest moment.
-Rumors are current, which obtain gen.
eral credence from the significant state
ments to similar effect made in the debate
last night by Banks and Raymonds, that
while the President is not disposed to yield
his objections against tile Constitutional
Amendment, he will meet Congress more
than halfina scheme Of demonstration which
shall embrace certain of the provisions of
that and other salutary measures.
The Southern Republican Association
met this evening. The attendance was
large, comprising representative men from
all the unrcconstructed States, except Flori-
da. A strong resolution. heartily indorsing
the Reconstruction bill for Louisiana, pre-
sented by the New Orleans Committee, as a
part of its report, was unanimously adopted,
with further recommendation that its pro-
visions be applied to the nine States. This
resolution was signed by all the members
present and will be offered to the House in the
morning. A resolution in opposition to the
Military Reconstruction bill was referred af-
terra spirited debate, to the Executive Com
mittee. The Association then adjourned
till Thursday evening

How MUCH Is PEABODY WoRTH.-The
question has been frequently asked "How
much is Mr.. Peabody worth 2" 1t is very
natural one, in view of the frequent and m,l-
nifcent donations he has made during the
last fifteen years for educational and chari-
table purposes. We learn that in 1856 Mr.
Peabody made will, which demonstrated
that he was then worth about fifty million
pounds sterling. We presume, from the lib
eral manner in which he scatters his chari-
ties, that he has not grown any poorer since.
If he had not transacted any business since
that time the simple interest on such an
enormous sum would have largely increased
his wealth ; but the fact is, he has ever since
been one of the largest, most active, and
cautious bankers in the world. Hence his
present wealth must exceed 100000, ,000.-
This is snug little sum for rainy day

The Debate of Friday ON Mr.. Stevens


The telegraph induced many to believe
that Banks, Raymond and other staunch
Republicans were opposed to recognizing
the Southern State government. The best
radical among them, Mr.. Griswold, opposed
Mr.. Stevens bill on principle; while Mr..
Shellabarger, of Ohio,one the of best lawyers
in the House advocated it. Even Mr.. Ray
mond said ga' E f9uai
He knew of no obstacle to the establish
ment of civil authority in the Southern States
on such basis as Congress deemed wise and
just. That civil authority would be enti-
tied, in case of resistance to it. to the aid Of
the army to execute its DEGREES"
This would be in substance unadulterated
military rule Again: 3t'" &ei
~ "He should prefer that Congress would
appoint civil commissioners for each State
naming them in the bill if it was not will
ling to trust their selection to the President
and let those commissioners organize
government of some sort, and let the militia
~ support their DEGREES" - g,ia
Mr.. Banks also explained his position, a.
follows: -iF 7Hsd
y Mr.. BANKs.-In the remarks which
made, Mr.. Speaker, I had no allusion to any
negotiations with the President. The gen.
tlemaa from Pennsylvania Mr.. Stevens]

will yield to his policy much sooner than
SHALL Expressions of encouragement to
Mr. Banks, and of satisfaction with the last
remark. Ispoke in good faith to the House,
asking for time to debate this question. My
reason for it is based on the simple idea,
which every member can understand, that
the measures which we propose, and one of
which is now before the House, depend for
their efficacy on being genacted by two-thirds
of the two Houses against the Executive
branch of the Government My belief 10
that we cannot carry on the Government of
the United States in that way-that we
must have laws in which the Executive will
cooperate in order to make those laws effec-
tive. If, after we, the representatives of the
people, have agreed as to what laws are nee
essary to secure the peace of the country and
to maintain the existence of the Government,
and after the people have sustained us in
those laws, the President refuses co-opera-
ton, it is our duty to the country to drop
the question of reconstruction, and to pro-
ceed to the consideration of the position and
purposes of the President himself. repeat
my expressions of belief that we can, before
this session closes, come to such conclusion
as will compel the President of the United
States to sustain us in our action, or as will
justify us in adopting another course, if he
refuses. have no negotiations with the
President, nor do know his opinion; and
in the vote which shall give on this ques-
ton neither the gentleman from Pennsylva-
mia nor any other man has right to assume
that accept the Presidents policy in the
slightest degree. I hope for change of his
position, and I think that is not impossible,
and is worthy trying for. & i7&

Light Ahead.

Saturdays sayings and doings in the
House revive and strengthen our hopes that
the XXXIXth Congress will not disperse
without having acted fully, decisively,s on
the absorbing subject of Reconstruction
The speeches of Messrs Banks, RAYMOND
and Others, fully justify the inference that
the President is now ready to meet Congress
at least halfway, and that a desire to act
;lecisively and comprehensively is rapidly
gaining the ascendant in Congress.
} We do not confidently assert that the Pres
ident is yet already to unite with Congress
in giving effect to such measure of Recon-
struction as ought to be framed and enact
ed we do say it is the duty of Congress to
frame and pass such measure, whether it
shall or shall not be signed and executed
Even though it were certain to he vetoed
and killed, such measure should be passed,
having first been rendered as unobiection-
able as may be. There need be no surrender
of principle; there must at all hazards, be
protection secured to the loyal inhabitants,
white or black, of the South; and we strong
ly feel that now is the time to perfect and
pass bill under which the States now un-
represented in Congress shall be reconstruct
ed on a just and loyal basis, under condi-
tions that secure to all their inhabitants
their just and equal rights. Thus far, we
believe every measure of Reconstruction
emanating from the majority in Congress
has commanded our support, though none
of them has been all We could have wished
it. Neither Of Mr. Stevens two bills of this
session-one providing for the rehabilitation
of the disorganized States; the other for
protection of their loyal people-was pre-
cisely to our mind; yet we have supported
them as steps toward the desired end, and,
at the worst, better than nothing. Far bet
ter that Congress should fail in an effort at
Reconstruction than that it should fail to
make the effort. We entreat the responsible
majority in either House not to close the ses-
sion without having passed Reconstruct
ion bill that ought to be accepted and which
provides for its own execution. Do not say,
at will do no good" but try.-M Y 7ri
