House in Committee Of the Whole. The
bill nppropriating million dollars to the
Southern destitute was considered.
Fernando Wood opposed the measure, the
South only wanted civil rights, and the
Northern capital to deyclOpe its resources,
Williams thought the Congressional COM
mittee would be better applied to the wild
ows and orphans made SO by rebels. If
any are TO suffer, let it be the disloyal, and
let the Government polutc that country

Chandler denounced the measure as one
intended TO bother the Frecdmcns Dur sau
and was wolf in sleeps clothing. Boyer

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The House ad-

business.
SENATE.-After other unimportant bust
ness the consideration of the supplemental
bill was resumed, and an amendment pro-
viding that at elections for delegates vote
of whether they desired a convention, should
be taken.
This amendment gave rise to earnest de-
date, the chief argument in its favor being
that such a vote was favoring condition
to make it constitutional. 1t was opposed
principally on account of opening the door
to delay and irregLlarity in restoring the
States to representation.
The debate showed that the majority con-
sidered early restoration necessary TO orr
financial interesta and no matter for technical
trifing
johnson doubted the long existence ofthe
Government with the ten States out Nor
ton was opposed to allowing rebels to say
whether they desired n convention.

The amendment making yots by close
ballot perpetual, was urged till executive
session.
The discussions in the Senate show dis
position to place no obstruction in the way
of reconstruction, under the Sherman bill.
Every effort is being made by the extreme,
Radicals 10 add complications and is re-
sisted on the ground taken by the conservn-
tive Radicals, that Congress relied on the
Sherman bill and it would be bad to 60 be-
You'd the necessary machinery in the Sup
plement bill. .s.t.

Committee of the southern Famine Con-
vention," this morning, preamble and res

Whereas, Mr.. Brown, Secretary of South
ern Famine Relief Com ittee, is advised
by General Howard not to relax his efforts

preparation by Congress, the restitution

demand all that can be done for its relief.
Therefore,
Resolved, That the committee earnestly
request the clergy, of all denominations, of
the Northern States to join in simultane-
Gus appeals for contributions on Sunday
