WASHINGTON.
.. WASHINGTON. a.
The Military Reconstruction Bill Passed
by Both HOuses-Uniycrsal Suffrage
Secured In the Southern States.

Special Telegram to the Chicago Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.
The agreement made last night to
vote this morning OH the amendments
to the reconstruction bill brought out
the entire strength Of the House. I'm
mediately upon the reading of the
journal, Mr.. Blaine demanded the pre-
vious question on the amendment offer
ed by Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, last night.
Mr.. Shellabarger asked to have his
amendment read, but Mr.. Blaine, in an
imperious manner, refused. Messrs.
Banks and Stevens tried to ask ques-
ton, but Mr.. Blaine refused consent,
and the noise and confusion became
very great, in the midst of which tel
lers on demanding the previous ques-
ton were ordered and carried out, amid
cries of "Votc him down" from the
Republican side of the House. The
House refused to order it, by 76 noes to
- ayes. 1t then being open to amend
ment, Mr.. Shellabarger offered his,
which prevents any persons who are
prescribed from voting by the consti-
tutional amendment, from participating
or voting in any Constitutional Con-
vention, and also provides that all State
Governments in the rebel States shall
be deemed provisional, and open to abo-
lition or amendment until recognized
by Congress. The roll being called, the
Democrats voted "no," together with
the following Republicans, who have
been recently involved, more or less, by
rumors Of trying to compromise with
the Presidents: Messrs. Bingham, Bar
ler, Benjamin, Blaine, Blow, Buck
land, Darling, Davis, Dawes, Delano,
Dodge, Hubbell (Ohio), Kuykendail,
Latin, George Lawrence. Mckee,
McRuer, Miller, Moorhead, Pomeroy,
Raymond, j. Fl. Rice, Stil!welI,
rhayer, and Whaley. Thus amended,
the Senate bill was passed-the vote on
Its passage being strict party one,
under the lead of Messrs. Stevens,
Boutwell,, and Wentworth, of l25 ayes
to is nays-the two Republicans being
kuykendall, and Hubtell, of Ohio.
Among the ayes were Mr.. Raymond.
This is the largest vote ever polled for
any reconstruction bill, and is regarded
AS complete discontinue of the COM
promise with the President, and
material triumph for Messrs. Stevens,
Boutwell,, and leading Radicals who
desire legislation of more radical
nature in the Fortisth Congress.
One Of the most remarkable features
of this debate is the fact that although
this bill decides that for all time to
come there shall be universal suffrage
in the South, there has been no war
made upon it Oh that ground; but the
Democrats, regarding it as already a
ioregone conclusion, arc putting them
selves in position to secure portion of
the colored vote.
by two T.. NJ, Mr.. Mcpherson had
delivered it engrossed to the Senate,
when Messrs. Sherman and Williams
urged immediate concurrence. Rever-
dy Johnson took the floor, and, to the
general surprise. announced that he
would vote for the bill. But for the
desire Of several Senators to make few
remarks, it would have been passed by
p. NJ, but the debate carried it over to
the evening session, when it was
adopted.
