MORE RECONsTRUCTIoN.--lnt the House Of
Representatives, yesterday, Mr.. Tbaddcus
Stevens, introduced bill to provide State GOV
ernments for the Southern States, which are
designated in the bill as Territories. It CON
pletely dsarranges all the machinery Of the
present State governments, and gives certain
officers styled commissioners of reconstruction
full powers to appoint and remove civil officers
of ali classes and conditions. There are to be
three commissioners for each State, one Of
whom is to be appointed by the Senate ard
the other two by the House OF Representa-
tives. 1t declares in unmistakable language
that Congress is the only power that is TO
have control in this work OF reconstruction,
and it excludes from the elective franchise
all persons who engaged in rebellion, the
fact Of this participation in rebellion to be
ascertained by parole evidence. Provision is
also made for the division Of Texas in two
States Should the bill pass, it will offer
splendid field for the exercise Of the peculiar
faculties of hungry radical Office holders

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY l..

Senator Wilson's letter to Mr.. Early, of
Charlottesville, in aid of 'radicaliziug" Fir-
gina, is 10 another column. The advice be
gives has been pretty generally followed, as far
as the people were able-and therefore amounts
10 nothing; the milk in the cocoa nut being,
turn Radicals and you will be 0. X. But
when the writer talks Of the liberal policy of
Congress, the animus is seen, and the result
aimed at exposed The Southern people have
submitted. acquiesced, changed their laws, de-
cared Acknowledgement, and done all other
things required by 1ctao. What more can they
do? They offer no resistance, they seek peace,
they desire permission to attend to their mate
rial wants and interests Is not this enough :?
Why seek to add another burthen to those
already existing, by requiring, outside OF the
law, the formation and triumph Of Radical
political party?

aged two years, by throwing it from . third
story window, at No. 100 North Howard
street, yesterday underwent hearing before
Justice Bride, when she voluntarily made
confession, admitting the charge, and stating
the details of the occurrence. She stated that
she climbed over back shed into the third
story, and removing the baby from it's crib
| threw it out the window to the pavement be-
| low. Fortunately the child was saved from
