vote on Mt Wilson'S amendment was urged.
Mr.. TRuhBULL rose to reply to some points maze
the law was different at the time OF the vote on
Alabama constitution and that its terms were not
compiled with BY the people OF Alabama He claimed
OF the constitution than did Alabama, which State
having 10000 votes registered, cast but stxtyntne
thousand In favor OF It, more than one hundred thou
sand staying away from the polls. He said 1t would
be LecomptOn legislation over again to admit her
under these circumstances. He quoted from General
Grants report or May H. 1S68 to show that In all the
States but Georgia more than majority OF the regis
tered votes were cast In favor Of the constitution
and in Georgia the vote fell short OF majority but
6,743, while In Alabama fell short sixteen thousand
He again urged the hazard of losing the present bill
by putting Alabama in it and the prOpriety OF de-
ferring action In the matter Of Alabama until some
other bill was brought forward. He would be really
TO cooperate IN any legislation necessary 70 meet
the condition of things
Mr.. SHERMAN, (rep) of Ohio asserted that the
Senator had compared the vote on the constitution
in Alabama with the vote ON the constitutions OF
other States.
Mr.. TRUMBULL read the report again. which on Its
face stated the figures to be Of the vote on the const
tuition.
Mr.. SHERMAN reasserted that the vote on the con-
stitutons In all the five States but South Carolina
was smaller In proportion than in Alabama and pro-
ceeded TO read tne ngares or the woes ior e con on
votes on the ratification OF the constitutions OF
Georgia and Alabama and called attention to the
fact that in four counties of Alabama there was no
election, and allowing them the proportion OF regis
fratiOn belonging TO those counties he claimed that
his assertion that the vote OF Alabama was larger In
proportion to the registration than that OF the other
i've States was correct. He again urged the neces-
sity Of admitting Alabama claiming that she stands
strong, If not stronger In favor of reconstruction
than the others, save South Carolina.
Mr.. STEWART. rep.) of Nevada, took the same view,
claiming that she fairly entitled to admission;
that there is no reason for discriminating against
her, and that LOYALTY in the South requires and
should have encouragement.
During the discussion the signing Of the bill to
admit Arkansas was announced by the Char. II
now goes to the President.
Mr.. HENDRICKS moved to adjourn.

Boston Woo! Market.

BOSTON, February 10.
The wool market continues dull, and
prices for all but the most desirable
grades rule in favor of buyers. The
wants of consumers are very limited for
the season, and supplied only from hand
to mouth. The goods market remains
without animation; the prospects of
the trade are dubious and prices unsat-
isfactery. Under these circumstances,
the production of spriug fabrics is like
ly to be unusually small; manufactur-
erS are still further curtailing their OPP
erations, while awaiting the action of
Congress upon the tax question, and
buying no more staple than wanted for
immediate use.
This condition Of things has rather
impaired confidence in fine clothing
wool, which was expected to go off with
o rush during the month of February,
and, in anticipation ef 4 short supply,
has 10 q great extent been held above
the market. Ii is now Offering quite
freely at the prices current last Decem-
Der, in some cases a shade lower. and
most holders are anxious to realize.
Except for very choice lots of double
extra and picklOck, wanted for special
purposes, there is more confidence now
in the low and medium grades. These
latter are still called for, and command
relatively good prices, Notwithstanding
they are rather out of season. The
probable explanation of this is, that
manufacturers place more dependence
upon the fall trade, and consider it q
good time to lay in stocks of material,
intending to devote greater portion of
their time and facilities to an early pre-
paration for it, than heretofore.
Sales Of domestic for the week have
been moderate, and foot up about 675,
900 lbs, at range of 26a57!c for fleece,
and 35Ia47ic for the various grades of
pulled.

of the question OF the rights of Ameri-
can citizens abroad, and complained of

ton offered last month, to which Mr..
Sumner replied that the subject was re-
ceiving careful and constant attention,
both by the committee and State De-
partment, and that their action would
be soon made known, and would, he be-
lieved, be satisfactory 10 the Senate and
the entire country.

Your public buildings are sinking dollars by
the hundred thousand, with no apparent result.
Your Lunatic Asylum has already cost S4IO, 900,
a third more than the original estimate for the
whole, and the first wing is not yet completed.
At the present rate, more than one million Of
dollars will be consumed in what is nothing less
than stupendOus fraud, at which your public
servants are cOnniving.
The Penitentiary was expected TO be built for

planned it, nearly four times as much material
will be required az was originally intended and
the expense of tho building win be little short
of one million dollars. Other operations of pub.

Not a single Radical journal Of the State has
uttered word of denunciation of these or any
other public wrongs. To tine REGISTER belongs
almost the exclusive honor of championing the
popular cause against the outrages of official
plunderers. In pursuance of its purpose to

HOUSE.

Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, introduced bill
for the surrender of persons convicted Of
certain crimes. Referred to the Ju-
dietary committee.
1t enacts that no person who may
have been duly convicted and adjudged
guilty of murder, piracy, assassination,
arson, robbery or forgery, and where
conviction has not been reversed, shall
be allowed TO enter or remain in the
United States; and it authorizes the
President, upon the production of sat
isfactory proof that a person so convict
ed of either such crimes has entered, or
is about to enter the United States, to
cause him to be sent back to the country
from whence he came, or in which he
may have been convicted. The bill was
drafted by the Secretary of State.
Mr.. Humphrey introduced a bill to
amend the act of lSij, extending the
jurisdiction of United States District
Courts to certain eases on the lakes.
Referred to the Judiciary committee.
The bill reported from the committee
on Foreign Affairs, concerning the
rights of American citizens i'll foreign
States, came up rs the business of the
morning hour, and a deSultOry discus.
sion arose as to the question of closing
the debate and disposing of the various
amendments that have already been
suggested.
Mr.. Banks declared himself unaltera-
bly, opposed to Incorporating in the
statutes of the United States the Often
sive English principle that the legisla-
ture can confer or withhold tho power
of expatriation. That was the doctrine
of Lord Palmerston in his dispatch to
Mr. Bancroft in lSI9 or in lS5O. At
length Mr.. Banks, having allowed the
amendments of Messrs. Butler, Spauld-
ing and Boyer TO be offered, moved the
previous question, the effect of which
would be to cut off further amendments.
The House by decided vote refused
to second the previous question, and
Mr.. Jencks offered his amendment by
way of q substitute, declaring the
rights of repatriation aud naturaiiza-
tiOn are declared TO be and to have been
part of the public laws of the United
States, and directing the Executive to
insist OH the recognition of such rights
by the governments of all other nations.
Mr.. Judd offered his amendment as
indicated ut the close of his speech last
Wednesday.
Mr. Butler offered an amendment as a
substitute for Mr.. Jenck'S amendment,
which was not received.
Mr.. Pruyn offered an amendment to
Mr.. Jenck's amendment III the way of
all additional prOviso.
The morning hour having expired the
bill went over till tomorrow and all
the amendments were ordered printed
The Speaker presented memorial of
the business men in Cincinnati in favor
of the resolutions adopted by the Manu-
facturers' Convention in Cleveland,
September, %.
The House went into committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, Mr..
Wilson, of Iowa, in the Chair, aud re-
sumed the consideration of the Legisla-
tive, Executive and Judicial aupropri-
alton bill. Without diSposing of the
bill, the committee rose and the House
adjourned.
