The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1867-02-19
February8.

Fepruaryo.
The House to-day was the scene of
great interest and no little excl temen.
The galleries were crowded, and most of
the members were present on the floor.
AS soon as the House met, the debate of
yesterday on the bill to place the South
ern States under military government
was resumed, but two members acting
with the Radicals opposed to measure
in teto-Messrs, Raymond and Griswold.
Mr.. Raymond made a forcible effort,
which was listened to with marked at
tention. The debate ran until 4 P. NJ,
when Stevens demanded the previous
question. General Banks rose and asked
for still further delay, and suggested as
a reason that there was possibility of a
plan of reconstruction being matured in
that time to which the President might
give his assent. This nettled Stevens,
who promptly accused Banks of having
been in the late conference with the
President, and the Southern Governors.
Banks as promptly replied, denying the
allegation. The tenor of his remarks,
howevs r was the key note for the mag
nifcent retreat which the Radical major
ity made as Stevens attempted to press
them to the front with the iron rod of
the previous question. The Speaker
counted the House and found Stevens
and fifty -one others standing by him in
favor of ordering vote on the bill, and
eighty two against it, The result as
tonished everybody, the House as we'll
as its overfowing galleries. Tellers were
Immediately ordered, and the vote was
still more surprising, being 81 to 80, thus
showing that more than half Of the Rad
icals present finched before the music.
The fact that on yesterday no one of that
side doubted the passage ofthe bill elici-
ted a great deal of com ment and inquiry
as to the Generalization to-day. 1t may
be explained in some respect by the
knowledge of kilograms from various
parts of the country, protesting against
such revolutionary scheme. The bill
may be amended, but Stevens considers
it virtually dead.
The Senate Finance Committee have
determined to substitute an entire new
bill for one lately referred to them pro-
posing to fund the compound interstnotes
into per cent. loan certificates,

CARD.-In answer to complaints made to us,
we beg leave to submit the following state
ment: Families using and 10 cents worth of
ice daily, often make complaint that they are
not supplied always to suit them. One mo-
ment's reflection will show them that it is
worth cents, and often 10 cents, to cali on
them with two-horse wagon. and two men to
attend 1T, without lowing anything for the
ice. Now we wish to accommodate every
family in the city, but we wish it distinctly
understood that we do not. at present rates,
viz cent per pound, realize one cent profit
from their custom. For instance, no driver in
this City Of Magnificent Distances can visit
more than two hundred families in one day.
He takes out two tons, or 1900 pounds of ice;
one half is lost from meltage and chips. whi ch
leaves nett 2,000 pounds. Two hundred fami-
lies using each 10 pounds take this amount.
They return us, at 1 cent per pound, $40. We
expend in doing this:
tons ice, costing S6 per ton ............ S12 90
The team is worth SS per day........... 90
Expenses in keeping clerks, &c c......... 90
Nett pront.. Observation-Disclosures. 90 90
Supposipg one half the families are fl We cent
customers, then it would be 800 families in
stead of 200, which one wagon could not sup
ply. We make this statement that people will
not be unreasor able. We will do all we can
TO accomm odate the IN.
