The attention of Congress Is now
mainly directed to the subject of Recon-
struction. The two Houses are ut issue
on the Tenure of Office bill. The Senate
disagreed to the House provision includ-
ing Cabinet offices among those whom
the President should not remove without
the consent Of the Senate. Messrs.
Williams, Sherman, and Buckalew were
appointed y Committee of Conference
on this bill.
The House has passed the Bounty Bill.
The bill provides that each and every
soldier, sailor, or marine shall be entitled
to eight and one-third dollars per month,
or at the rate Of one hundred dollars pei

THE VERY LATEST.
Assessorship sixteenth District.

Our Washington dispatches of Satur-
day announce that Andrew Johnson has
removed j. III. Barnhill from the office
of Assessor in this District, and appoint
ed John w. Sargent to fill the vacancy.
Judge b. was appointed to the office by
President Lincoln under the first Inter
nal Revenue law of 1862, and conse-
quently was charged with the inaugura-
ton of the revenue system in this Dis
trict, and we are informed that his remov-
al disposes of the last of Lincoln's appoin-
tees of Assessors for Ohio, in 1862.
OF the nine Assistant Assessors APP
pointed in 1852, six are yet in office, viz {:
Zimmerman, of Tuscarawas; Miller and
Crafty, of Belmont; Tingle, of Guern-
sey; and Sharon and Peacock, of Harri-
son. In the remaining three divisions
when vacancies occurred, the offices were
filled by returned soldiers, viz: Croxton,
of Tuscarawas; Morris, of Noble; and
M'Kisson, of Guernsey.
Although nearly three-quarters of q
million dollars have been assessed in the
District, formal appeal has in no in
stance been taken from the rulings OF
the Assessor, nor has any citizen been
punished by fines, imprisonment or con-
| fiscatlon of property for criminal viola
ton of law. Judge b. and his assistants
while faithfully securing the revenue tC
the Government, have in fact, done much
to render the law popular among the
people. When the President apostatized
and "swung round the circle" into the
ranks of copperheadism, Judge b. de-
clined to either swing or be silent, and
hence-..in the courtly language of A. ]
ut st. Louis-is kicked OUT
We do not, however, wish to be under
stood to intimate that his successor be
longs to the Johnsonized Republicans
Our present impression is to the contrary

REcoNsrRucT1oN.

The House of Representatives on last
"Wednesday passed Mr.. Stevens bill "For
the more efficient government of the in
surrcctienary. States" The bill was
wwrmfyT debated by Messrs. Stevens,
Boutwell,, Bingham, Blaine, and others.
Messrs. Blaine and Bingham sought un-
svailingly to amend it. The bill passed
by tie following vote: Yeos, l09-Nays,
5s. d Mr.. Bingham voted yea on the pas
sage Of the bill.
We print the bill elsewhere, as it passed
the House.
This bill is great step forward in the
work of reconstruction. The victorious
nation has long enough begged these ex-
Rebels to. accept the situation. In return
they meet us with wholesale assassina-
tion and prescription. This has been the
situation for year and half; and 1t
now becomes our duty to grapple every
defiant Rebel by the throat and bring
him to terms. Mr.. Stevens bill has this
end I'm view. Let us thank God and take
courage!
The Senate passed substitute foi
Mr.. Stevens bill, offered by Mr.. Sher
man, Of Ohio, which may be found il
connection with the Stevens bill.
At this time (Tuesday) it looks n
though the House would accept th'
Sherman substitute. We may have new
Of dts passage before going to press, al
though large party in the Household
ed by Messrs. Stevens, Boutwell, Mass.
and Stokes (Tenn. ARE fighting itvig
orously.
LATER.-The House yesterday, by
vote OF 73 for and 03 against, refused
adopt the Senate substitute, and appoint
ed Mcssrs. Stevens, Shellabarger, an
Blaine Committee of Conference. Th
Senate insisted upon Its substitute an
declined to appoint Committee of Cor
ference. 1t would seem at this writin
that neither bill is likely to become lay
at this session.

THE COLUMBUS
WOODEN Manufacturing Co.

A MoNG the enterprises in our State richly
IA deserving encouragement and patronage Is

1851, when large and substantial brick manu-
factory was erected at the foot of Mound Street,
was at first $4,000. 1t has been gradually in
creased and is at present $4,000. 4
For the last five or six years the Manufacturing
Company has been, as IL is now In q fiourishinR

extended; Its facilities enlarged; Its credit

lts affairs, has managed them with singular
fidelity, prudence and sagacity.
To give some idea of the amount of business
done In the Manuiactoiy, II uses up annually
100 900 yards OF cloth annually. The goods manu-
factured are purely of wool, and consist prin-
cipally OF plain and fancy cassimeres, doeskins,
stocking yarns. These are sold at wholesale or
retail at the office in the Manufactory.
There are in the Mandatory sets Of ma
chinery, including 200 spindles and % power
looms, running daily. The number of employees
is fifty-six, about one-half OF whom females.

| As such. and especially as a home enterprise,

A serious outbreak occurred in Ireland
last "Wednesday. The news we have
comes by the cable, and is little mixed.
We give it below:
LONDON, Feb. 14.-Evening.
The Government denies the truth of
the stories of the landing of ship load
of Fenians at Valentia, but admits that
there is serious revolt at and near Kill
larney. The telegraph wires, near Va
lentia, were destroyed for a long distance,
and riot and pillage were rampant. A
coast guard policeman was killed..
~ LONDON, Feb. IS.
About eight hundred Fenians, COM
manded by Col. O'Conner, retreated to
the hills near Killarney. British troops
have been posted at Millow Junction, in
the County of Cork, commanding the
hill district. The excitement in the
vicinity is intense, and many are precipi-
lately leaving.
An ex-United States Captain had been
arrested at Killarney, on suspicion of be-
ing Fenian.
A large number of marines at Ply
mouth have been ordered to proceed to
Ireland Immediately.
THE TELEGRAPH WIRES CUT-LARGE
PARTY OF FENIANs SURROUNDED.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-Noon.
The telegraph wires in insurrectionary
districts of Ireland have been cut in all
directions, and the meager news received
from that quarter is suppressed by the
authorities for prudential purposes.
A large Fenian party have been sur
rounded by national troops in Toomies
woods, and the chances for escape are ex
ceedingly small.
The band of three hundred, which
retreated to the hills, near Killarney, il
still at large. .,...... IL.
The uprising is thus far confined t.
Kerry and Cork Counties, and it is no
believed the trouble will spread further
THE GOVERNMENT FORCE TOO SMALL Fol
THE FENIANS.
The Governor General stated to Parlia
ment to-day that Col. Horsford's force il
altogether too small to follow the armed
bands of Fenians into Toomies' Wood
but the Colonel had already hopes o
surrounding the insurgents and prevent
ing their escape.
The authorities in Ireland have assur
ed the British Government that the pres
ent rising is totally stopped.
END OF THE DIFFICULTY.
.... LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Noon.
Ireland is perfectly tranquil. A small
number OF rebels are concealed in tn
woods, endeavoring to escape to the coast
but the troops are disposed so as to frus
trate them. Troops have been sent +
Malahide to arrest Stephens, who is sup
posed to be in that vicinity.
THE VERY LATEST. a
LONDON, Feb. 19-Noon.-All tn
armed Fenians in Kerry County hav
disappeared. None were captured. Tn
peasantry are willing to give intelligence
but object to assist in arresting tn
Fenians
Three ships of war are in Kenmor
river
The Earl of Derby officially announce
that all alarm has passed, that the peas
ants are loyal, and that the government
will treat prisoners justly, and, If neces
sary, severely.
Lord Mass, Secretary for Ireland, say
no new rising is apprehended. Their
were only 120 engaged in the late revolt
The government is still sending troop
