He intended no dis

Mr.. Ashley made an explanation, that
his remarks were Intended to apply to those
here or elsewhere, who, during or since
the war, were 10 secret alliance with the

vored the territorial theory, and was in fa-
vor of Keeping the rebel States from repre-
sentation IN Congress.
Mr.. Stevens modified his bill in several
particulars. striking out the 9Th section,
which declared any State abrogating the
provisions Of the bill should thereby for
felt its representation. Mr.. Stevens APP
pealed to Mr.. Bingham to withdraw bis
motion to refer, urging that the bill should
be perfected in the House, and that motion
might be renewed.
Mr.. Bingham desired the House to make
the motion for itself, and declined to with

Mr.. Stevens said the references of the
bill would be its death.

the authority of the venerable gentleman

Funeral of a Dog .

Giles county is pretty heavy on dog and
cat stories. Some may have been inclined
to doubt our "cat tale'' last week. If such
be the case, we refer them 10 the following
''well authenticated fact" furnished the
Christian Advocate by responsible Meth
Odist minister of this county. The truth
fitness of the story viii not be impugned,
nor will it be doubted that the dog was pos
sessed of remarkable gagacity:
81 wish to state for the readers Of the
Advocate, remarkable misunderstanding
bic, owing to the subject engaged in its So
lemnities-and adding one more illustration
to tie many, of the sagacity of dogs. Mr.,
w. J. CRAIG, a citizen in the vicinity Of
Pulaski, owned dog, whose mother died,
and the night after her death he satup with
the corpse, and next day proceeded to dig
her grave. then took the body and commit
ted it. and covered it over, and carried
stones and laid them upon the grave. This
is we'll authenticated fact"

Congressional.

WAsHrseroN, January 26.-Tbe House
proceeded to the consideration of the Ste
veGs' Reconstruction bill.
Mr.. Ross made speech stating his OBJ
iections to it, as adverse to the principles
enumerated by the Republican party dur
ing the war, and as being unwise and mex
pedient. If Congress conld depose the
President and paralyze the Supreme Court,
civil government would be destroyed in
this country. He thought he saw among
the Republican leaders types of the Ro7
bespierres. the Dantons and the Murats of
the French revolution. He appealed to
Congress. to let we'll enough alone, and
rather bear the ills We have than fly to
others we know not of.
As to the proposed impeachment Of the
President, he thought he Nigh! be impeach-
ed for having so many Democrats in Office.
Mr.. Stevens gave notice that he would
take the floor on Monday and seek to put
the bill its passage. II Mr.. Ashley
would withdraw his substitute and Mr..
Bingham would withdraw his motion to re-
fer the bill to the Committee on Recousuuc-
ton, he would ask to have it considered
under the FIVE minutes rule, as in the
Committee of the Whole.
Mr.. Ashley withdrew his substitute and
announced his intention to vote against the
reference of the bill.
In the course Of Mr.. Ashley's remarks
be alluded to men holding seats on the
Dem ocraic side who co-oPerated with
rebels.
Mr.. Winfield took exception to the re-
mark and denounced itas utterly untrue,
and base aud uufouHded SANDER.
Mr.. Hunter added And so far as am
concerned it is a base lie.
Mr.. Hill called Mr. Hunter to order and
the Speaker ruled that the words were out
of order.
Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania, Said they
were nevertheless true.

Mr.. Hunter. Carried, 81 against "a. -.

INTEREST on THE STATE RoNDs.
The letters and dispatches sent to my
address frow New York, show that the in
terest upon State bonds has not been met
as promptly as the honor and credit of our
State require. The fault is ours, and the
faiue could have been prevented had more
vigilance and efficiency been displayed at
home. 1 hope the like will not occur on
the 1st of July, and earnestly invoke the
Legislature to provide against similar
disaster, by prompt action. For Tennes-
see to fail to meet the interest upon her
bonds, and to have her credit suffer from
home, is alike disgraceful to the officers Of
the State Government aud to the General
Assembly.
will gladly cooperate with you in the
adoption of any measures that may be
deemed wise or calculated to promote the
public welfare, and I earnestly invoke the
blessings of the Great Ruler of nations up

Mr.. Raulston introduced bill creating
the 18th judicial Circuit. Passed.
Mr.. Biggs introduced a resolution pro-
viding that in view Of the reckless legis-
lation heretofore enacted, no more appro-
! priations shall be made for any purpose
whatever, except what is actually necessa-
/ ry to carry on the State Government.
On motion Of Mr.. Raulston, the resolu-

olntion
WHEREAS, The course pursued by. the

ing rebels of all grades, makes it manifest
that no rebel win be punished for bis re-
bellious conduct therefore, with the view
Of saving the State from a useless exPendi-
ture of money, be it
ResUIOed, That SO much of a resolution,
adopted on the 1st of May, 1865, as au-
thorized and instructed by the Governor, tc
ofera reward of $4,000 for the apprehen-
sion and delivery Of Isham G. Harris, tc

hereby repealed. That the. Governor is
herebgdirected to revoke that part Of his
proclamation which offers reward o.

Isham G.Harris.
Mr.. Norman, in support of his resolu-
ton, remarked. that there was no good to
resultto the State from the continuance OIL
this offer ola reward being held out, as
nobody supposed that Harris would not be
pardoned BY the President Immediately af
ter the Elk Governor got here. 1t is pref.
ty certain that if this offer is. kept standing
much longer. some of Harris. friends vii
bring him here very soon and claim thC
reward.
Mr.. Garner thought otherwise. Harris
friends would have a hard time of it before
they would recover the money.
Mr.. Smith, Of Hardeman. said there wa:
no chance of that renegade scoundrel. An

Governor Harris, as his powers in that di
rection had recently been cut short by Goa
