FROM NEW YORK.


New YORK, Feb. 13.-Yesterday after
noon Geo. Desyer, an exchange broker.
doing business at No. 3 Park Row, was
robbed of nearly 81, 200 while riding up
town on n Broadway car. The thief
escaped detection.
A man named Geo. Lester, living in
the town of Pleasant Valley, seven
miles from P~oughkeepsie, has been de-
tectsd in an attempt to starve his wife
to death, and performing inhuman ope-
rations upon her. He is still at large,
but the police are after him.
The wooden cloth mills of Glenen,
Duclees & Co., were nearly destroyed
by fire on Monday night. Loss 100000;
insured for $4,000.
Geo. w. Chadwick, originator of the
bogus North River Bank of HOboken,
was Yesterday defeated in a suit brought
against Amasa Barber to recover 5000
in promissory notes. The notes were
given to him to aid in establishing the
bogus bank, and the plaintiff claims he
discounted them.

ed Us a civil engineer with Gen. Wilson
in . survey of the Upper Mississippi. be
requested to address the Convention,
giving such information in relation ia
the survey as he saw fit.
Mr.. Abbott took the stand, and en-.
tered into a detailed statement of the
surveys made by General Wilson and
the engineer corps, which abounded in
facts and figures, from which much in
formation was given the Convention,
Mr.. Abbott gave a full account of al
the distractions in the different rapids,
which will be of great benefit to the
Convention, and will be considered by
the committee on Resolutions. Much
discussion was had in referring matters
to different committees, when, upon
motion, Professor waterhouse, of st.
Louis, was invited to take the stand.
He proceeded to read a paper involy-

ments.
The Convention then adjourned until
8 o'clock.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1867-02-14
Mr.. Blaine, motion was then referred

Mr.. Blaineis motion was then referred
Tn committee on Judiciary.
Mr.. sterns spoke in favor of the bill.
II was not intended for o reconstruction
bill, but simply as a police bill, TO pro
tect loyal men South from anarchy,
murder and rapine until congress took
n little more time to the establishment
of government. n.
The question was taken on MI.
Blaipe's motion to refer the bill to the
Judiciary committee with instructions
to report back, with the following ad-
ditional section
Sec. = And be it further enacted,
Tha. when the constitutional amend
ment proposed as article IA by the 18th
Congress shall have become part OF the
Constitution of the United States, and
when any of the late so-called Confed-
crate States shall have ratified the same
and conformedits Constitution and laws
thereto in all respects, and when 1T shall
have provided by its Constitution tina
the elective franchise shall be enjoyed
equally and impartially by all male
citizens of the United States, of twenty
one years old and upwards, without
regard to race. or color, or persons In
condition of servitude, except such as
may be DISTINGUISHED for participating
in the late rebellion, or when said Con-
stitution shall have been submitted to
voters, such voters thus defined for rat
ratification or rejection, and when the
Constitution, if ratified by the popular
vote, shall have been submitted to Con-
gress for examination and approval,
said State shall, if its Constitution be
approved by Congress, be declared en-
titled to, representation in Congress,
and Senators and Representatives shall
be admitted therefrOm on taking the
oath prescribed by law, and then and
there after the preceding sections Of this
bill shall be imperative in said states
There was great excitement as the
vote was taken, as it shows democrats
coming generally to the rescue OF Mr..
Blaine's motion, and it would be q very
close vote. After all had answered to
their names it appeared there was a ma
jority of two or three against Blalne's
amendment. The democrats, to pre-,
serve uniformity of record, commenced
to change their vote from yea to nay,
to the great amusement Of the House.
Finally the vote vas announced as 69
to 95; so the motion to refer was de-
feated. The question required on the
