Army NEssEL. Since the assault Of Me-
Leod on Ardy Nessel. some weeks since, the
Hastings Gazette has been flied with com
munications on the matter, and IN a recent
number the Police Justice makes an uItound-
ed attack on the character OF Mr.. Nessel who
is the proprietor of the :" TOntine' in that
place. We cheerfully endorse the following,
from the Hastings USIoN:
The Tomtine Billiard Room under his
charge, is the most orderly. quiet. and pro
perly keTS establishment in the State. We
have frequently had occasion 10 refer to this
fact. No minors are ever allowed to drink
or lounge about ia his saloon--it is never
open on Sunday. and no gambling has ever
been allowed with his knowledge or consent.
Mr.. Nessel is no rowdy or bully. but on the
contrary is a quiet, pcaceable, law abiding
citizen. gentlemanly in his manners, and at
tends to hIs own business.

WASHINGTON, December 1O.-Tn
the Senate, memorial was presented
from the New York Chamber of
Commerce., relative to the resump-
tion of specie payment, which was
referred to the Committee on Finance.
The President was called on for the
correspondence relative to the recog-
milton of belligerent rights by Great
Britain to the Confederacy. Mr..
Wilson introduced his bill, removing
political disabilities from 248 Ala
bamians. Mr.. Doolittle gave notifi-
cation of an amendment to the Re-
construction Acts, providing that all
persons offering to vote, on adoption
of Constitutions, who do not possess
the qualifcs tions required by the
States prior to the rebellion, shall
possess one of three qualifications
first, service in the army of the
United States at least one year;
second, ability to read and under
stand the nature of m oath; or,
third, to possess $3.50 freehold, in his
own or wife's right. The above was
offered as an amendment to Wilson's 8
bill, making majority of voters,
instead of majority of those regis
tered, necessary to carry the Consti-
tuition. Wilson said he did not know
that it would be necessary to pass his
bill Davis said this was a white
mans Government, and ever would
be; the freemen of this country would
never consent to have President
forced on them by negro electoral
votes. He wanted this issue to come
quickly, and invited Wilson to press
on with his bill. Stewart said negro
suffrage would not be the issue next
fall, and proceeded to defend the
Reconstruction Acts Doolittles
amendment was referred to the Judi
ciary Committee. Adjourned.
In the House, the Speaker an
nounced that the Reconstruction
Committee-resuscitated by yester-
days would consist of Ste
vens, Boutwell,, Bingham, Farms
worth, Hulburd, Bramhall, Payne,
Brooks and Beck-but two Demo
Gratis. Stevens confscation bill of
last session came up, and after seve-
raj speeches in opposition, the matter
was postponed to the 21st January.
e concurrent resolution was adopted,
to adjourn from the Goth instant to

the expectation of his being chosen
President. The Convention then
proceeded to the election of Presi-
dent, and J. r. Parrott, of Barlow,
was eleoted-which is regarded as o
triumph by the more conservative
wing. Parrott, in an address, said,
above all things, the Convention
should do nothing to throw addi-
tional obstacles in the path of the
Republican party, or put n weapon
in the hands of their enemies. The
address was partizan, but not ultra.
