THE REeONsTRUCTION BILL.

From the New York TriJmeS report
of the debate in the House of Representa-
tives on the 18th inst, on the Senate re-
construction or military government bin,
we extract as follows:
Mr.. Arnell, rep, Tenn expressed his
hororr Of the proposition before the House,
characterizing it as monstrous PROPOSE
ton. 1t was the iron cage Of the inquisi-
ton, which would gradually close in and
destroy its victims. There was no remedy
for the evil, except to render the Rebel
element at the South hopelessly powerless,
but this amendment would, in his opinion,
give that element recognition and strength,
and would be the death-warrant of the
Union men of the South.
On the motion to non-concur ia the
Senate bill in lieu Of that of the House,
and asking for a committee of conference,
the Tennessee delegation voted as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Maynard aud Taylor.
Noes-Messrs. Arnell Campbell, Coop
er, Hawkins, Leftwich and Stokes.

New YORK, Feb. 23.-The Herald City
of Mexico correspondent of the 5th says
the entire road from Puebla to the capitol,
is strewn with the debris Of the retreating
army. The Liberas were prevented from at
lacking by strict orders from Diaz, but APP
pearances indicated that a slight demon
stration would have converted the whole
march into a grand rout. The American
Consulate is garrisoned to protect American
citizens. Macmillan tells every one he
does not consider himself Emperor, but
only chief Of a national party.
The Herald's Panama correspondent says
our Minister, Mr. Burton, to the Colombia
government, still maintains hisantagoni5tic
position.
1t has been decided that the foreign
mails can cross the isthmus without hinder
ance.
Masquea fayors the annexation of Ecua-
dor. This issupposed to be part of thepolicy
marked out for him in Europe. From
South America, it is rumored another pro-
position for peace had been madeb by France
and England, but the cabinet had not per-
mitted the terms to be made known, but it
is intimated again that proposals from the
United States would be cordially received.
The revolution in Mendosia is reported
to be increasing in importance, the insur-
gents having recently gained decided adj
vantages. A Peruvian cavalry regiment
had been routed, killing some of their off
GERS, as also those Of an infantry regiment
sent to reduce them to subordination. Gen.
CapO at the head of four hundred men in
yaded Maracaibo and meeting the forces
Of President Sutherland, a battle ensued.
lasting seven hours, in which Capo was
killed. His forces then retired.
The Times special says the Judiciary

The meeting yesterday between Surratt
and his sister was extremely affecting The
sister encouraged her brother to keep a
stout heart but the conversation was chilly
on domestic affairs. judiciary Committee
have not yet examined him concerning
the completely of Jefferson Davis in the
assassination, nor is it likely they will do
so until it is known what will be the pro-
ceedings against him.
The Tribune's Chill correspondent says
it is reported that a speedy conclusion of
peace between Spain and the allied repub-
lies is probable The internal condition of
most Of the republics is deplorable. The
Peruvian government is charged with
swindling, and the speedyfaII of the Presi-
dent is predicted.
The Tribune's special says the cabinet
had a session on the reconstruction bill yes
terday. The President would sign the bill
but for the section dividing the States into
military districts. The other sections are
not so Objectionable though he much pre-
ferred the simple Blaine amendment.

his letter of the 18th inst, to the Phila-
delphia Press says "The chief Repub-
lican objection to the Senate bill is that
it provides for universal amnesty" The
Washington Chronicle Of the 18th inst,
the day on which the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes agreed to the Senate bill in lieu
of its own, said:
" The passage Of the reconstruction bill
by the House to-day will establish through
out the United States the doctrine Of equal
and impartial suffrage, without regard to
caste, color or creed. The opportunity to
achieve this great end should not be lost"
1t will thus be seen that the Radical au-
thorities agree that this bill conc edes the
right Of suffrage to every male citizen Of
whatever caste, color or creed ia the South
