Housr.-Iu the House on Monday Mr. Eliot,

HousE.--In the House on Monday, Mr.. Eliot, f,
introduced bill to establish civil govern
ment in the State of Louisiana. This is a
very importan. measure, and it is designed |
10y its Supporters to cover the whole question !
of reconstruction of the Southern States.
The provisions Of the bill are very radical
in their character, and as we cannot embrace
in this brief summary even the main points
of the measure.
SENATE.-In the Senate on Wednesday,
Mr.. Poland asked leave to offer resolution
that the Committee on the Judiciary be in
structed to inquire into the expediency of SO
amending the Constitution as. first, to restrict
the office of President to one term, and ex-
tend the term to six years; second, to abolish
the office of Vice President and third, to,
provide for the election OF the President
directly by the people, without the interven-
tion of electoral colleges the resolution was
laid over Mr.. Wilson reported, with
amendments, the bill to provide for the tenn
porary increase in the pay of officers of the
army and other purposes. The bill provides
for an increase of 335 per cent. to all officers
| below the rank of Major General on their
pay for two years from July /, 1867; strikes
the word white from all militia laws; au-
thorizes the Secretary of War to sell the
Government property at Harpers Ferry {;
prevents the whipping or manning OF any
persons convicted of crime in the Southern
States, aud abolishes the system of peonage
in New Mexico. This bill was also laid over.
Mr.. Wilson introduced joint resolution to
facilitate the settlement OF claims for Quar-
termasters stores and subsistence supplies
furnished by loyal persons to the armies oil
the United States during the late rebellion
1t provides for commission, consisting oil
army officers, for each of the Southern States
the commission for Maryland and West Vir'
ginia to consist of Gen. Francis Fessenden
Lieut.. Col. Jas. A. Ekin, Lieut.. Col. Charles
II. Tompkins, and Maj Gen. Jas. S. Negley
The payment of any claim is prohibited
until Congress shall have authorized it, anc
all claims must be presented within sis
months, and the claimant must establish hi:
,. loyalty to the Government during the war
Without action the bill went over. Th'
) bankrupt bill was then taken up, and afte
shor. but rather sharp passage at arms be
tween Messrs. Sumner Dixon and other Sen
ators, the bill was passed by ayes %, nay
90. The bill to purchase League Island 70
a naval depot then came up, and pending it
consideration the Senate took a recess unit
Up NJ.
/. HoUsE.-The House on Wednesday resum
= ed the consideration of the bill offered oi
the previous day by Mr. Eliot, to provide
government for the State of Louisiana. Atte
some discussion Mr. Eliot demanded th
: previous question, and the bill was passed

e- Sunday Schools, now so numerous,
throughout the civilized world, are, com
parativeiy, of recent origin. The first Sun
day School was established in 1901, at
Gloucester, England, by Mr.. Raikes, an
editor of n newspaper at that place. The
wretched condition of some children whom
he saw playing the streets, on Sunday, in.
duced him to make the experiment. He
therefore engaged the services of several
woman who taught school during the week
to receive, and instruct such children as Le
should send them, in reading and in the
Catechism, for which he paid them one
shilling (22 cts) per day. Mr.. Raikes ex-
pertinent proved a great success. Ir 1856,
five years after $50, 600 children were receiv-
ing instruction in Sunday School, in Eng.
lana. AT the present time they are num-
bere6 by millions. These Schools at first
were taught by hired teachers. 1t is a sngu.
lar fact, that Sunday schools were not intro
duced into this country until thirty years
after their general introduction in England
If we have been fast in adopting the vices
of our trans Atlantic brethren, we have beer
slow in following their example, in thi:
great moral and religious enterprise. The
first Sunday School was opened in New
York in 1916 The Introduction of Sunda,
Schools in this place, few years after mus

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1867.

W ASlilNGIoN, reD. ~, looi.
Was removed this evening, from the navy
yard to the city prison, in charge of the
United States Marshal and ten policemen
upon writ from the Criminal Court They
arrived at the Jail at five o'clock when the
prisoner was placed in an iron cell on the
floor of the building. He looked healthy
and cheerful, but somewhat weak from the
effects of long voyage He was very taci-
turn, having little or nothing to say while
being conveyed to prison. We was hand
cufed, and dressed in the full uniform of
the Papal service, grey cloth, short jacket,
loose trowsers, with canvas leggins, red sash
and cap.
The cell in which he is confined is about
twelve by ten feet square, and about eight
feet high, with no window light, and air
heing admitted through iron gratings, the
door of which fronts upon the corridor,
where the watchnian looks in every fifteen
minutes to sec how the prisoner is coming
on. No one except his keeper is allowed
to speak or hold any communication with
him on any pretext whatever.
A short time after his arrival he complain
ed of being hungry and asked for his supper
which was given him. and he ate very heart
ily and soon after laid upon his bed and
slept soundly His hands are handcuffed
but no other irons have been placed on him
in the cell. His cell is comfortably furnish
ed and his wants are promptly attended to
a watch being kept upon him day and night
The stories that he will set up the plea Of
mistaken identity are absurd, for of his be-
ing John H. Surratt there is no reasonable
doubt.
