The RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE on THE
CONSTITUTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES
Amccting Of the Reconstruction Committee
WAS held this morning, which lasted for
some time. The question of restoring South
Carolina and Arkansas to their former re-
ntions V. th the other States was considered
at lenhh, and the constitution of the first
AIRED State, which is the only one here,
<as the subject of discussion. No final
conclusion was arrived at, the whole matter
being postponed until the constitutions of
fine ether Southern States arrive. Tho pur-
nose of the committee is to have all Of the
Snlthern States restored to the Union under
constitutions as nearly alike as possible,
AMI presenting positive uniformity on
the subjects of education and suffrage, On
Saturday next another meeting will be
held, at which time it is expected that the
constitutions of Arkansas, North Carolina,
Georgia, and Louisiana will have arrived,
and the committee be enabled to adopt
come definite plan Of restoration. 1t is be-
leyed however, and generally conceded,
that all of the States will be admitted to
representation and to their former positions
in the Union, under TIE bill reported on
yesterday in the Pouse.- Ne,o York Her

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-About 2 o'clock yes
crclay afternoon shooting ARRAY occurred
in the drinking saloon of Mr.. John Stuart,
near the toll bridge, between William II.
Watson and Il discharged United States SOL
'licr named Wattrous, which will probably
result in the death Of the latter.
immediately after the shooting Watson
made his escape, and had not been arrested
ID, a late hour last night. His friends claim
that he will surrender himself for trial to-
day, and they appear to be confident that
the testimony will show that he committed
the deed only under the belief that his an
tag9nist intended to fire on him.
Both Watson and Wattrous were perfectly
sober ri the time of the shooting, and it is
not known that they had ever previously
been acquainted with each other; and the
tragedy appears to have been the result of
one Of those ungovernable outbursts of rage
which so frequently lead those who give
way to them to the commission of deeds
which entail upon them lifelong sorrow and
rcgret.-Lyachbuq Ne,cS.

Mr.. Brooks divided his hour among the
Democrats, and moved the previous ques-

An amendment was offered to the resolu-
ton, which opened a free debate.
Logan opened, and being called to order
for using the word "villainous," took it
back. He was next called to order for say
ing that Brooks said what he knew to be
untrue. The Speaker ruled this expression
to be parliamentary,
The date of the letter; which was denied
in court few days since by the Managers;
was to-day admitted in the House; but in:
nocent motives asserted; Logdn's speech
was very bitter.
Butler then took the floor, and accused
Brooks of robbing his partners. He asked
Brooks if, while he (Butler) was fighting
he did not in this House call him (Butler)
gold robber.
Brooks. Yes; and made you disgorgs

CHURCH CHoIRs IN CONNECTION. - The
church choirs in Rochester are in trouble.
The Union Of that city says:
"Just now there is commotion among
the choirs of some Of sthe city charches,
which extends to the congregations, grow
ing out Of high bidding for leading singers
one church bidding over another. 1t is
said that one Presbyterian church has Of
fered lady who sings in an Episcopal
choir the sum of eight hundred per annum
to change her position. In another Episco-
pal church the choir is being reconstructed
on basis of expanding some twelve hun
bred per year for music. In other churches
there is uneasiness in the choirs, and all
are looking for something better. The
church that has the most popular choir
draws the largest miscellaneous audience.
"One of the large churches of this city
for time had an excellent choir. Then it
WIS over-crowded and pewholders could
not reach their seats, much less obtain
them, for reason of the crowd Of run
abouts' who thronged the aisles, eager tc
hear the voluntary operate anthem at the
opening of the service. Since that choir
dissolved and the prima donna went else
where, there is no difficulty in finding seats
in the church."

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN STRASBURG.-On
saturday, the 18th instant, a shooting affray
took place on the pavement in front of the
Virginia Hotel, in Strasburg, in which Mr..
j. II. Dohlemoycr, of Page county, was
wounded in the head and side by Mr.. Cor
ban, who keeps bar on the opposite side of
the street. DR.. Miller was called in and
dressed the wound, but could not find the
ball, which entered the side. The shot on
the head was but a slight flesh wound.
Mr.. Doflemoyer, who is quite a young
man, is up and walking about, and hopes
are entertained that the wound will not
prove serious. 1t is useless to add that strong

DIRECT TRADE:--A large meeting ~ c;t;-
gems was held in Memphis on the Ola i, M, 81.
timo to consider direct trade ha+waaa ss o. -
nope ana the Il, Mississippi Valley through
virginia. The attendance was large and
eMn I !. Hon. I. A. Nelson presiding.
Mr. Everett, Of London, addressed the
meeting at some length, and pointed out
.he advantages of direct trade with Europe,
anu alluded to the fact that cotton, hemp,
wool, hops, and other commodities, could be
sent direct from Memphis to Eu rope, and
passed ON to speak of the Spontaneous
growth of hops in the South. He urged the
culture Of grapes, the manufacture Of wine,
ana In stirring language urged the people
OF OF the South to take full advantage of all
that nature had done for them. Let them
out 60 to work in earnest, and prosperity,
plenty, wealth, and power would crown their
e1orts. He urged them to give'up politics,
and ridiculed the politicians both of this
country and England.
At the conclusion of his address, Mr.. T.
A. Nelson submitted the following, which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas it having been made rnanifnat
by the address of Mr.. John Everett. of
England, that direct trale between this Sec
ton of our country and Europe can be es-
tablished, on basis of mutual advantage,
by the exchange Of the products 6f the soil
and manufactures 8f lie different parts of
the country beyond the Atlantic, and which
We, to very limited extent, now enioy, ex-
ceptt through and by paying tribute to the
capital and enterprise Of otheF and more
fortunate seetions Of our country, and who,
70 large extent, reap their profits from the
sweat of our brow - and whereas our duty
TO ourselves demands that we should realize
the best price We can get for our labor, by
selling in the best market and buying where
our wants can besupplied at the lowest rate
therefore
Resolved, That we will encourage such
direct trade with foreign countries as it may
seem our interest to do, and that we invite
to come among us those who have the capi-
tai and the enterprise to carry out that de-
sirable result,
I" Resoteed, That we are not preiudiced
against or welded to any particular line of
railroads nor steamboats,, but will protect
our interests by encouraging such as offer
the cheapest rates, the best facilities, and
the most prompt attention to the transpor-
tation Of Our freight.
Resolted, That we would hail with de-
| light the establishment of regular line OF
steam vessels from Norfolk, Va, to ports in
Europe, believing that route can be made
the cheapest and most expeditions in TEtch-
ing those ports"

THE FENIAN rarA1a.

Londoa, April 30.-The trial Of Burke
and Shaw was resumed this morning. AT
the suggestion of Judge Bramwell, the pro-
ceedings against Casey were discontinued,
and the prisoner was discharged. Mr.. Jones,
counsel for Burke, delivered al, argument
for the defence. Hepraised the talents and
culture of the prisoner. He urged the
great disadvantage under which Burke la
bored, having had his case prematurely
thrust into the Clerkenwell conspiracy trial,
where, practically, he had already been
convicted, although he had had no oppor-
tunity to examine the witnesses who testi-
fed against him, or produce witnesses in
his defence.
Mr.. Jones then thoroughly sifted the evil
dence for the Crown, and concluded with an
eloquent appeal to the jury.
Mr.. Pater, counsel for Shaw, urged the
point that, with the exception of the in
former, Corydon,t none of the witnesses
for the prosecution had testified against his
client.
Judge Bramwell delivered the charge,
and the jury brought in verdict of guilty
against Burke and Shaw:
Burke said he Vas content with the yer.
dict, though ne was not SUBJECT OF the
Queen.
The judge then sentenced Burke to IF
teen years and Shaw to seven years impri-
sonment.
DEBATE on THE IRISH CHURCH.
London, April 30.-In the House of Com
mons tonight the debate on the Irish Church
was continued, but no leading members on
either side took part. Spencer II. Walpole nc
knowledged that it would be unwise at this
time to found an established church in Ire
land, but declared that it was a far more
serious thing to destroy such an establish
ment. All arguments brought in favor Of
such action would be equally rated against
the established church of England. He
warned the House against the consequences
which would follow the destruction of the
Irish church.
