WASHINGTON, July l5-SENATE.-The
House bill appropriating over sl,5OO,OOo
for reconstruction was reduced by an
amendment to 100000, and passed
yeas, 81; nays, 3.
The Presidents message suggesting
Federal liability for southern slate caused
an amusing debate, and severe denuncia-
ton as inopportune and calculated to
unsettle the finances. The message was
ordered to be printed, and the Senate adj
journed.
HOUsE.-On account of clerical error
the reconstruction bill was withdrawn from
the President, corrected, and returned.
A number Of bills and resolutions were
introduced and referred.
A resolution instructing the Committee
on Public Lands to report the quantity of
swamp lands heretofore granted to the
southern states was reported.
A resolution instructing the Judiciary
Committee to inquire whether Kentucky,
Maryland, and Delaware have State con-
situations republican in form was passed
by the Speakers vote-the House stand
ing Al to Al.
The amendment reducing the recon-
struction appropriation to 100000 was
concurred in, and goes to the President.
The bill passed last session prohibiting
ex-rebels from treating with Indians was
repealed. Applause from the Democratic
side over "the first step backwards."l

Mrs. SUERATT's ISN0CENCE.-Thc letter
Of our correspondent (says the New York
EIpreSs) revivcs an important statement
on the trial Of Mrs. Surratt, which, as he
states, appeared in the columns Of the
ErDress some eighteen months since, and
which was at the time laughed at and
denied. The particulars of the case are
now thus stated, and with good authroity:
"After her counsel had concluded his
argument in Mrs. Surratt's behalf, the
Judge Advocate General (Mr. Holt ap-
preached him and said: Although you
and NAV differ as to Mrs. Surratt's in
nocence, | wish to say that your effort
has made a decided impression upon the
court When it came to make up It's
findings, six Of the members-Gencrals
Hunter, Ekin, kautz, Foster, Tompkins,
! and Clcndenin-were opposed to the death
sentence. The Assistant Judge Advocate,
! Hon. John A. Bingham, argued the case
! in the absence Of her counsel, and, to
use General Ilancocll's own expression,
There was plenty Of discussion on the
subject Books and papers and authori-
ties were sent for, and finally the court
passed the sentence. But before leaving
The table, around which they were seated,
