Bill Regulating the JurisGic-
ton of the Supreme Court
PASSED I'm the House.

special dispatch to the Chicago 1'rib-
u'sc dated Washington Jan. IL, says, the
Supreme Court Bill passed by the House
this afternoon has two sections. The first
was agreed TO by the Senate last spring,
and simply provides that five shall cons,i-
tute quorum Of The court. The present
quorum is SIX, and the reduction was held
to be necessary because the number OF
Judges has been reduced. Section second
provides that no act of Congress shall be
treated as unconstitutional unless two
thirds of the Judges on the Supreme bench
concur in the opinion to that effect, and
wher any law Is pronounced unconsiitu-
tional by District Judge, all proceedings
under bis decision shall he suspended till
his opinion has been rc-affirmed by two
thirds of the full Court. The debate in
the House was very interesting, quite a
plumber participating. Mr.. Bingham's
speech in particular was unusually good
and very eloquent. Judge Wilson. Chair
man ofthe committee, spoke very briefly,
having given large portion of his time TO
the opponents of the bill. The most noti-
ceable speech on the Democratic side was
that of Judge Woodward. The Demo-
Gratis wanted to filibuster. but the House
took the precaution before the debate be-
gan TO suspend all rules giving them a
chance, and the Speaker refused to enter
tain any dilatorv motions. They appealed
from his decision, but only twenty-four
chose to go on the record against him.
The bill was passed by yeas, ZIG; nays, 80,
being considerably more than the necessa-
~ two thirds to carry it over veto. The
negative vote was wholly Democratic.
The Bill viii undoubtedly pass the Sen
ate without delay.

The New Reconstruction Bill
Reported I'm the House,
Fiery Language from the
Presidents Washington Or

4 new Reconstruction Bill was reported
in The House on the 18th, by Mr.. Bingham,
and made the special order for the next
day and continue from day 10 day until
disposed of.
Concerning this bill the National In
teiiigencer, the Presidents organ, uses
the following fiery language:
1t declares that the measure could not
become, except in naked form, an act OF
Congress. 1t denounces bitterly what il
Executive" placing the President yirtu-
while the latter has no will but what is di
rectiy or indirectly that of his superior, the
President and Commander in chief who is
the highest of all officers, and centres In
himself all power and authority over all
officers and soldiers. 1t points out what
would be the result under the fifth section
of the bill should General Grant refuse TO
go so far or even go farther than the law
permits, and says that in case of difference
between the General and Congress, each
acting from a sense Of duty, there would
be no power to decide; and it would be-
come the duty of each party to ''coerce'
the other to submission After review
ing the sections which it claims abolishes
both the judicial power in the government
and the Executive department also, the ar
iicle closes in the following remarkable
language:
at can come to nothing without the CO.
operation of the General of the Army. 1t
Gil rests on him. Whatever his reticence,
the is matter in which reference might
be misunderstood. At the first overt act,
however slight, were il but to or ally
promise to assume the functions afforded
in il, after such bill had been repassesl
over The veto Of the President, the General
Of the Army must be cast into jail to await
his trial for treason to his country, unless
the Chief Magistrate is false to the trust OF
the people and false to his oath Of Office.
Such buster as this will not deter the
Republicans moment from carrying Out
their measures. Barking dogs seldom bite
and the greatest towards generally make
the most threats

Chic ag0 Grain and Provision Market.
from the Tribune, Of yesterday.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA, 1865.
Tho advance in gold caused no little ex-
citsment in tho lead ng Grain markets at the
opening, and values took decided jump.
Later in the day the feeling became unsettled,
the market ruled irregular, and, in several
Instances. the Improvements gained early was
almost entirely lost. The volume OF bust
ness was larger than has been seen for several
weeks, as the speculative element on the
board took hold freely. The Provision mar
ket was somewhat excited, for the came -ea-
son and the advance gained on the leading
products was fully maintained at the close.
The general trade of the city, however, is
quite dull. The merchants are principally
engaged in footing up the business Of last
year. taking stock and figuring en- the pros
poets for the spring trade. Imported goods
are generally higher in view Of the advance in
gold, and it Is thought by many that all do
nestle productions have touched bottom.
The stocks of merchandise are low, and there
is no disposition on the part Of merchants to
make any additions beyond what is required
to meet the '.hand-to mouth" demand which
now exists fol all kinds of goods. The lum-
Der trade isyery dull, and dealers complain
no little Of th., difficulty experienced in ma.
king country collections.
The PrrTision market exhibited more. ac-
tivity aud animation today than has been

Six years ago Mr. G. II. Reeve, of
this place, attended tie Copperhead
State Convention, and after the plat
form had been read rose and sa:d:
Mn CHArRNAS Owing to the confu-
sion and noise. 1--WE quote from memory, I
did not distin -tiy hear the resolutions,
but il they endorse this abolition. Niger
stealing. throat cutting. picket shooting
war. am opposed to them.
Last week the same gentleman re-
ported, as Chairman of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, the following:
"That we shall ever hold in sacred re-
collection the dead who sacrificed their
lives in the defense of our once glorious
Union. that the present and future genera
tons might enjoy fhe rich inheritance of a
form of government that secures an equal
'ty Of rights and privileges TO all the citi-
zens thereof. That the nation owes to the
surviving soldiers and sailors Of the Union
the highest need of praise and gratitude
for the sacrifices they made in the last war,
and to those disabled in the service of the
Union, and the widows and orphan chill
wounds, or in the military service OF the
Union, such pensioning aid as viii enable
them to enjoy the substantial necessarics
Of life."
A miraculous change has come
over the gentleman. From the Con
vention of 1862 he came home and
went to work organizing lodges OF
the Knights of the Golden Circle and
Sons of Liberty, for the purpose OF
aiding the Confederacy TO establish
it, independence, by getting up a
counter revolution in the Northwest
and even went so far as to declare
publicly that with the wave of bis
hand he could have twenty eight
hundred men in Plymouth before
right, (six hours, and cause the
streets to run red with abolition
blood. Now he talks in quite diff
ferent strain, but his heart is un
changed.
