EIoHrEEN DEMOCRATS MAKE A FOOLISH
RECORD.

ZIG HTEEN DEMOCRATS MAKE a FOOLISH
RECORD.
The Julian resolution introduced
into the House to-day, denouncing the
idea in the Presidents recent message
that the new reconstruction act binds
the nation to pay the debts of the rebel
States, caught Democrats very hand
somely. They were not SO wise as their
colleagues in the Senate, and demand
ed the yeas and nays on the passage of
the resolution, - which, of course, the
Repu bltcans agreed ut once, whereby
eighteen blind parIisans put themselves
on the record in favor of the Presidents
proposition. They were Archer, Brooks,
Boyer, Burr, Eldridge, Getz, Gloss
brenner, Holman, Kerr, Marshall,
Morgan, MunGen, Niblack, Prnyn,
Robin, SitRreaves, Stone and Van
Trump.
IMPARTIAL RIGHTS IN THE DISTRICT.
The bill declaring that neither color
or race shall diSQnHlify from holding
office in the District, introduced by Mr..
Sumner yesterday, was put through
the Senate to-day without debate. only
Bayard, BuckaIew, Davis, Hendricks
and johnson voting against IL. The
House promptly took il up, amended 1t

ferred II to the Judiciary Committee, so

out fail. 1t will probably become
law, so far as Congress is concerned, to-
morrow.
ADDITIONAL MILEAGE
An effort was made in the House TO
get additional mileage. Thad. Stevens
introduced the proposition, but Mr..
Lawrence, of Ohio, demanded the yeas
and nays, i; requiring two-thirds vote
to get it considered. Though there was
a heavy vote in its favor, by rising,
only 46 cared to go on the record in the
affirmative, against 81 in the negative.
THE CASE OF CAMERON.
There has been much talk in political
circles to-day about the action of the
President in pardoning Cameron, the
rebel who testified for Surratt yester-
day, and the House, by a direct vote,
directed the Judiciary Committee TO in
quire into the matter.
THE CASE OF CoNovRR.
The execution of the sentence in San
ford COnoVeT's case WAS stayed this
morning for tWenty-four hours, and
during the day such representations
were made that he was granted an APP
peal to full bench for new trial. Ar
gument in tie case will probably be
trial. He asks new trial on the
ground that two chief witnesses against
him swore falsely and are Boosting
publicly of their exploits in New York.
He also claims that the jury trying
him WAS not legally empanuelled.
In case new trial Is granted, it can
not take place before October, unless a
special term is held.
THE RAM sroNEwALL.
The Confederate ram Stonewall will
be ready for sea Early next month.
She goes to Japan by way of the Straits
OF Magellan, under command of Capt.
George Brown, with twenty-five sea-
men. Over ii hundred sailors have APP
piled to go with him. The Japanese
take the armament of Armstrong guns
on her when captured.
THE VETO.
1t is not generally expected the veto
message will be sent in tomorrow.
Concerning it the Intelhgemeer this
morning, evidently speaking by au-
thority, says:
The veto message. as we have strong
ground for believing, will be no repeti-
lion and no mere Formally. There are
questions so vital and profound that
they who are responsible for speech
must not even name them until cir
cunstuuces cast them up into pa pa Oie
issues such as demand and compel re-

time has come when the logical impos-

IMPEACHMENT.
The question of printing the impeach-
ment evidence has been finally settled,
by the House directing the Committee
to print the usual number Of copies and
lay them on the desks of members
during the first week of next session,
whenever that is. Chairman Wilson
said this course met the views of the
Committee, and he initmated that they
would have asked the privilege of so do
ing before the close OF this session.
a RECONCILIATION.
The political relations of Messrs.
Bingham and Stevens are once more of
the most friendly character. They have
printed their last speeches on the Re-
construction bill together, under the
title, "Remarks of Hon. :. A. Bingham,
of Ohio, and Hon. Il. Stevens, of Penn
sylvania, Delivered in the House of
Representatives, July 9th"
