Senator CowAN made defence Of the Preaden
and The South, based upon STASpoN's Report
asking why Senators did not go to the Secretary o
War for redress for the alleged outrages, insteas
Of pouring them into the public ear9 A decent re
spect for the country fair fame should induce then
to seek for redress through the willing STANTON
before prcclaiming them as means for 1nabgninl
the President.
SHERMAN, in urging his Bill, said ssWe give tn
negro the ballot, schools, protection and law; bu
nature win never consent TO put white men under
his domination" He designated STEVENS ant

District Bills until the message from the House
announcing the passage of SHERMANs Bill with the
amendments. WILLIAMS moved that the Senate
concur. Several Senators regretted the: dis.
franchising clause inserted by the House, but

diate,y receive the Southern representatives, but
would yield to- the majority He would vote for the
Bill because he saw in it mode Of rescuing the
country from the perils that now threatened it.

WAsHNaToN, February 20.-A delegation OF the
Boston Board Of Trade had an interview with
Mr. MoCu1LocH relative to the depression in COM
merce, trade and ship building.
It appears from communication OF the Presl-
dent to the Senate that the gross proceeds OF cot
ton seized was twenty-five and q haH millions OF
dollars. The proceeds from the sale Of miscellar
ne7us property 81, ,sOo, ,0Oo The proceeds from the
rents of abandoned property nearly $780, GOO.
Other receipts 50, ,SO0, 900. u
It is conceded hat the Senate will pass the Re-
construction Bill With the House amendments.
The increased stringency developed by WILSON and
SHE11ABERaEn's amendments is attributed to STE.
VEINS strategy. It is generally conceded that the
President will waive the advantages Of time and
veto the Bill sufficiently soon for Congress to act.
