WASHINGTON. Feb. %

There was a lengthy session of the Cabi-
net on the military government Reconstruc-
tion bill Yesterday. IL is stated that the
President would sign the bill were it not for
the first section which provides for dividing
the ten Southern States into FIVE Military
Districts
The other features of the measure are
said not to be so Objectionable to the Pres
Ident although he preferred Blains amend
ment.
Il Is understood that the members o
the Cabinet take the same view,
The House P. o. Committee yesterday
agreed to report against the proposition TO
establish government telegraph lines, be-
heving that it is not called for at the pre-
sent time. Congressman Washburn the
originator OF the measure is in Europe, and
when he returns viii give the matter biz
closest attention.
The recent interview Of Surrstt with bic
sister Anna at the jail lasted half an hour
and Is described as a very affecting one. She
believes her brother innocent Of tie crime
he Is charged with as she did her mother
and her friends assure her the evidence
against him will never be strong enough 70
convict him. But she Is very much d.
pressed.

CONGRESSIONAL TEMPERANCE S0CIETT.-At
the meeting Of the Congressional Temperance
Society, held in the Hall Of Representative,
large number were present. Among
others who spoke was Senator Yates of Hi
nois, who announced himself as a new con-
vert, and was very Jealous in recommending
his example to others. He said he had
taken the pledge from Senator Wilson and
would keep it.
The names Of about fifty Senators and Re
representatives. were read as belonging to the
society. 1t was stated that although the
name Of Thaddeus Stevens was not included,
that gentleman had not tasted intoxicating
liquors for thirty years. Speaker Coliax
said he had long been temperance man
without any pledge. About thirty years
ago, when he witnessed the death Of COM
panion from dsliritn freneRs. he resolved
that he would never follow in the rad OF
drunkard. lie eloquently admonished the
young of the great evil, and said that in the
course of his twelve years OF legislative SER
vice, there had never been less OF intOxicatiOn
than now in Congress.

The County Convention,

To nominate County Commissioner. WIS
composed of substantial and worthy citizens
OF the County. Four towns, entitled il all
to fifteen delegates, apparently had not
taken the trouble to be represented. Other
wise the delegations were full. The action
Of the Convention was harmonious. the reso-
buttons are clear, brief, pointed and strong,
and the choice Of nominee an excellent one.
Mr.. Wires is well krOwn and respected
citizen Of the County. His statement of his
position, as made in Convention, must lie
satisfactory to the most exacting friend Of
Temperance and the Prohibitory law, and be
cannot fail to be elected with substantial
unanimity.

NEW COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REvKNUE-
The Senate on Saturday, confirmed the sp-
pOintment of Hon. Arson j. Crane Of Hun
tIngton as Collector of internal revenue for
this district, rice Carlos Baxter, resigned.
The unsuccessful applicants for the place
were Col. Rolla Gleason, of Richmond, and
Gen. Geo. p. Foster. Mr. Crane represent
ed this county in the State Senate in 1864
and '65, has wide acquaintance and many
friends in the county and the State. and will
undoubtedly make a capable and acceptable
Collector. 1t is presumed that he will
retain the services of the present efficient
and experienced Deputy Collector, DIR. Ed
ward A. Jewett. of this city.

place Wednesday and Thursday in the
Universalist Church, which was suitably
htted up with stage, curtains &c. Full
houses were in attendance each evening and
tue programme, which comprised varied selec-
tons OF sentimental and comical pieces. WAS
rendered in style highly credltable to the
performers. Good music was furnished bv
the jericho COrnet Band. Among the more
noticeable features of the performance Thurs
day evening was the Defamation of ..tbe
maniac mother by Miss Kstle Griffin, which
was acted with fine expression and effect Tho
success OF these entertainments has been
such as to warrant their repetition
and they would doubtless be well received
In some other towns. At the close last
evening few fitting remarks were made nv
Rev. Mr.. Lewis, thanking the audience for
their very liberal patronage, which had e.-
ceeded the most sanguine expectation.

DEATH.-Between four and FIVE O'Clock 2. NJ.
Monday, as a little daughter aged seven, of
Mr.. Oliver Gabino, who lives on Champlain
St, was playing at the house Of a neighbor,
Mr.. Gravelin with other children, her clothes
caught fire from the stove. The children
were alone at the time, Mrs. Grayelin hav-
ing left the house for short time, and in
an agony of terror and pain, the child ran
into the street, and towards her home, her
clothes all in flames, till she was caught by
two men, thrown down and rolled on some
ice in the street, and the fire finally put out
by pouring on water, not however, till the
garments were mainly burned from her
body. DR.. Carpenter who was near by, was
at once called in, and did everything for the
little sufferer that could be done; but her
injuries were beyond mortal help, and she
died at two next morning.

out hope. however faint, Of accomplishing that
object. He would vote for the bill because be
saw in it mode Of rescuing the country from
the perils that now threaten Vt, and not because
he approved Of it in any particular.
Mr.. Stewart congratulated Mr.. johnson that
he had progressed so far towards universal suf-
frage and universal amnesty as to vote for this
bill.
Mr.. Sherman said that If the House amend
ments were too harsh the Southern people had
the democratic party in the House TO thank for
it. 1t was very well known that a majority OF
the Union party were in favor Of the Senate
amendment, and majority of the Union party,
assisted by every democrat, helped to defeat the
acceptance Of this proposition in the House and
| LETT il open TO further amendment with the re-
suit now before the Senate.
Mr.. DOOlIttle offered a proyisO TO the last sec
ton, excepting pardoned rebels from the disfran-
chising clause, which was rejected.
