WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-House-The Re-
construction bill was taken up. Stevens
had not made up his mind beyond desiring

rather than see military government es-
tablished in this country he for one would
use the powers the Almighty gave him in
resisting an invasion of his liberties. He
hoped the President of the United States
would resist and would use the powers the
Constitution gave him to compel traitors to
obey the laws If Andrew johnson, added
Rogers, would submit to see the country
destroyed his name would go down with ig-
nominy to posterity as a coward and traitor.
