The Contest Over. the Military Recon

The House Of Representatives on the 10th
inst, in accordance with agreement Of the
previous night, took up the Senate amend
ment TO the Southern Government Militia
ry Bill, and after amending it so as to
recognize the present Southern State gov
crnments as merely provisional, and dis
franchising all Of those who are disfran-
chised by the pending constitutions
..smsndment, passed it in that shape, 125
to 46. Messrs. Hubbell, of Ohio, and
Hawkins, Of Tennessee, were the only
Republicans who voted against it. The
bill then went to the Senate, where it was
again debated and finally passed. The
most important feature of the Senate de-
bate was the fact that Reyerdy johnson
declared that he should vote it, not be-
cause he liked it, but because he believed
it was the best terms the South could get.
Pending the vote to concur in the Sem
ate amendment, Mr.. Stokes Of Tennessee 9
made an eloquent speech in opposition to
the same, from which we make the follow
ing brief extract, as showing the reason
which actuated those who voted against
the Sherman substitute. Mr.. Stokes said:
regard this, sir, as one of the most
important measures that has ever been
submitted tothe House of Representatives.
