not So. Mr., Mungen, Of the Findlay, Ohio

directing an investigation into the treatDent

pend the rules. On motion Of Mr.. Wash

The Explanatory Reoousarac.
flOn Bill.

The purpose for which Congress assembled
in special session has been accomplished
thoroughly and without delay. Both Houses
have passed a supplemental Reconstruction
Bill, fully constituting and explaining former
scts. The new bill is short and pointed.
II declares the true in tent and mesniDg o,
the act Of March ID, 1857 ito be that the GOV.
ernments Of the rebel States are subject in
all respects to military control and the par
sDount authority of Congress and that The
military commander Of the several districts
have power, subject to the spprcvsl of the
General Of the Army, to suspend or remove
civil officers. The acts of the said CON-
msnders heretofore in removing civil oficss
aud appointing othsrs in their stead are con-
hrmed. The bill also provides that Boards
Of iRsgistration shall have power to rrjeot
any applicant for registry or strike any name
from the list, in case they are satisfied efthe
disloyslty Of the person, II also defines the
meaning Of the oath required to BE- taken be-
fore registering, and nulifies the President .
pardon in certain cases. The bill concludes
with this slischer: "NO District commander
or members of the Board Of Registration, or
any officer or appointee under him, shall be
bound in his action by any opinion efahy
eivil officer of the United States" so i (.
In short, this supplemental bill, while it
imposes no new condition whatever upon the
rebels, distinctly announces that the matter
Of reconstruction shall be kept in the hands
Of Congress, and that no whim Of the Presi-
dent OF opinion Of the Attorney General
shsil be permitted TO hinder the work ofre-
constructing ths rebel States in the interest
Of Union and Freedom. fasf .sfri-.. 2

g Radical Ertravagance., ),

The coppetheads, with theu usual accuracy
when figuring on money matters, state that
Mr.. F. I. NoRroS charged the city $4,000
expenses when he went in quest Of a steamer
for the Fire Department while Epgineer
YouNe's expenses on his late trip for a new
hand engine were only $1,000.
Two years ago Mr.. r. /. NohroN was
appointed special agent 70 visit the manu-
factories of Steam Fire Engines in the east,
with a view to purchase Que for the city.
He visited Seneca Falls New York, and
the establishment Of the Amoskeag
company, travelling twenty-five hundred
miles and being absent eleven days Tbs
Council granted him an order of $I5O 90 fol
expenses, and on his return be paid back to
the Treasurer $5l 90, making his expense
for the trip leas than $le0 90, He made 3
purchase of a Steamer from the Auoskeap
Company for $3.50 less than the lowest of,
fer made 10 the Council.
He also made arrangements for the pnr-
chase of hose and fixtures al $500 less than
lUtJ 4uN DSca 0AAStN0 W t4o OOuuClls 6uO
these were afterwards bought by Mr.. SHELDoS
at q saving of at least that amount to the city.
Before Mr. MOTION started the Council were
negotiating for ths purchase of an inferior
Steamer for 81, ,4OO.mOre than he.paid, SO that
at the lowest estimate the city was saved
81, 100. by Mr. NoRroS's agency. Captain
YoUSG's expenses were some S6e 90 and 50
far as we have been able to learn, nothing
was accomplished that might not have been
done equally well by a three cent stamp.
The only report that has been made to the
Council was the bill ofexpenses and ,hs price
Of such an Eagine as is needed by the De-
partment. As Captain HoysG is not prae-
tical mach;nist his Judgment Of the compar-
1--we merit Of different engiDss 10 Of iittis xEls
ue and the sending ofany onenot aprsctical
machinist on such trip was a needless e1-
penditure of money. Our statements in this
matter may be rerifedby consulting the city
records. So much for Radical extrava-
