CHICAGO, Feb. l0.-Washington spe-
cial dispatches say the action Of the
House on Stevens Reconstruction bill
yesterday took everybody by surprise.
In taking the ayes and noes, the Speak
er at first counted SO in favor of and 80
against seconding the previous question.
Tellers were demanded, and the count
resulted-ayes 81, noes 9s. The follow
ing were among the Republicans recog-
nized as voting no Bingham, of Ohio,
Banks, of Massachusetts,, Dawes, Of
Massachusetts, Eliot; Of Massachusetts,,
Shellabarger, of Ohio, Dodge and Pat
terson, Of New Hampshire, Delano, Of
Ohio, Raymond, of New York, Hooper,
of Massachusetts,, Julian, of Indiana,
Kasson, of Iowa, Spalping, of Ohio,
Pomeroy, of New York, Henderson, Of
Oregon, Woodbridge, ofVermont, Alley,
of Massachusetts,, Davis, of New York,
and Blow, of Missouri.
During the preceding debate, Banks
asked for more time, and said, amid
profound silence, that if more time were
given, it was not improbable that a plan
would be agreed upon for reconstruction
to which the President might give his
consent.
Stevens promptly accused Banks OF
having been in consultation with the
President on the plan recently put forth
by the Southern Governors.
Banks essentially denied the allega-
tions. He said: "The measures which
we propose and the one now before the
House depend for their efficacy upon
being enacted by two-thirds Of the two
houses against the Executive. My be-
lief is, that we cannot carry on the Gov
ernment that way-that we must have
laws in which the Executive will CO.
operate, in order to make those laws
effective. II, after the representatives
Of the people have agreed to what laws
are necessary TO secure the peace Of the
country, and after the people have sus-
tanned us in enacting those laws, the
President refuses cooperation, it is our
duty to drop this question, and proceed
to the consideration Of the position Of
the President himself. We shall, before
this session closes, come to such con-
clusion rs will compel the President to
sustain our policy, or as will Justify US
in adopting another course, if he re-
fuses"
Stevens said: ~ know not whether
it is the desire of the House to pass any
such bill, or to dispense, go home and
leave the President to triumph. l am
quite aware that much opposition on
both sides of the House comes from
notifications of views c%oinciding with
the Presidents views, and that his
arguments have caused many gentlemen
to believe his the true one. [Great ex-
citement among the members. am
unable to learn to what extent that has
prevailed, but after the previous ques-
ton shall have been voted upon, | shall
be better satisfied whether it is worth
while to proceed farther in any attempt
BY Congress TO resist the power Of the
President, or whether it be our duty,
like humble Christians, to submit to the
power that has conquered u.s."
There was a report in Presidential
circles last night that tho President
would send a message to Congress next
week on the subject Of reconstruction.
The Times special dispatch says the
House vote on the previous question,
~prolonging the debate an the Military
Government bill, is regarded as another
defeat of Stevens leadership. Stevens
seemed inclined to abandon all further
attempts at reconstruction. 1t is not
supposed that Banks has any very de-
fined plan. There is o strong hope
among Unionists in the House that a
basis of cooperation with the President
may be found. The recent programme
introduced in the Senate by Dixon, of
Connecticut, is thought to indicate the
possibility of coming to some under
standing.
Specie and FIour-Cable to France
New York, Feb. 9.-The steamer to-
day took out $1,000, Oo0iu specie. Flour
dull, prices favoring buyers.
The Legislature of New York is about

Reported Death ofKotchum, tho Forser.
Nsw YORK, Feb. 9.-Rumor says Ed

Lively Debate.
CHICAGO, Feb. l0.-Specials say the
debate in the House yesterday afternoon
between Messrs. Boutwell, and Raymond
was very earnest and held the closest
attention Of everybody. Members tried
to trap Mr.. Boutwell, into some hint as
to the progress of the Impeachment in
quiry, but none succeeded. He spoke
Of the rebellion as still existing, and
charged that its acts Of wrong and OPP
preston are inspired by the President.
This remark caused much sensation.
Mr.. Raymond, on the other hand, on
veyed the idea, cautiously but unmis-
takably, that the President is about
abandoning his hostile attitude, and
will make u long advance for the sake
of harmony with Congress and tho
country.
