CONGRESSIONAL.

-= re- CONGRESSIONAL.
The great event of the week at Washing
ton is the return Of Mr.. Stanton I'd the War
Department. The Senate on the 18th took
a vote on the resolution of non -concuri ence
| aud by 35 to 6 decided that the President s
reasons for the removal of Secretary Stan
ton were insufficient. The vote was certified
to and copies of it duly sent TO the Presi-
dent, Secretary Stanton and Gen. Grant.
On the morning of the 18th Gen Grant de-
livered the keys of the War Office to Mr..
Stanton and returned 10 his own army head
quarters, while Mr.. Stanton took his cd
place in the War Department These events
have created unusual excitement in Wash
ington, and people there have had something
to talk about 1t seems that the President
has not really decided on the course be will
the President says there is no authority for
| the statement that he will refuse 10 recognise
Secretary Stanton but will transact all the
army business through the Head Quarters OF
the Army. Whether Mr.. Stan ton will hold
the office or resign il is matter of specula-
ton. The Republican members of Congress
have asked him to remain in the office and
not tender his resignation.
The two important measures tefure Cor
gress are: the new Reconstruction bill and
the bill relating 10 the Supreme Court The
new Reconstruction BILL reported by the Re-
construction Committee of the House last
Monday, consists of six sections. The first
section declares that the provisional govern
ments established IN the rebel States by the
President shall not be recognized as legal
governments. The secoud aud third sections
transfer from the President 10 the General
of the Army (GraH) the entire command
and power of removal and appointment Of
the Generals of the several Military Depart
mentss of the South. Tins is the most
striking feature Of the bill and Indicates the
purpose of its orgiu, which is 10 take from
AndrewJohnson the power of impeding the
work of Congress IN reconstructing the
| South. The fourth and fifth sections de-
clare it unlawful for the President of the
United States 10 use any Part Of the army or
navy in arrestiDg the authority of the provi-
sional governments. The bill has not been
voted on yet. -f-'s t-n tfH ~
The House passed the bill relating to the
| Supreme Court, which provides that ii shall
| require two-thirds of The Supreme Court TO
declare an act Of Congress invalid The
| bill TO prevent McCulloch's contraction Of
the currency also passed the House.

From the Mobile Register democratic organ, OCT
We may regard the revolution as accomplished,
and may feel that the moment has arrived IN spanish
politics. the results Of which may accrue 10 our great
and lasting advantage. Far removed from the
parent country and naturally placed under our pro-
lection By her position. Cuba Is now virtually with
out o government. She Is actually astray, ara u
needs not the ewes OF seer to see that very little
coaxing would be necessary to draw her to the
American crib. Her own people are, beyond doubt,
In favor OF annexation to the United states.
They feel the want OF stable government,
and know that whatever the result OF the
spanish muddle, they will get nothing advan-
tageous from It, after being left without government
and at the mercy Of their garrison for many mouths.
Our people, North and South are in favor Of annex
alton. as they have uniformly shown; and, such
being the case, we cannot that the duty OF the
government leaves any other course than to listen to
the Will OF the people, no more favorable moment
could occur for such tender OF protection Unset
tied and unprotected the Cubans could not fail to
see the advantages OF stable government, q chain
OF commercial enterprises linking them with the
ports OF the Union and of free and ready access TO
Before the Hood it good Northern doctrine that
the VIII OF the people was the supreme lawf can
not the government the will Of the people In the
annexation or Cubag
An extra session OF Congress could now be held
with some purpose II 1t were called TO
protection to Cuba; and there is little reason
to DOUBT that such piece OF legsla,
tiOn would do more to popUarize that body and ala
IL to its lost prestige with the masses OF our
people IRON Maine to Mexico, than any other Its In
genuity could devise.
We do not claim any originality in this suggestion,
for we believe we but echo the universal wish OF the
American people when we declare that nao,o is the
proper moment f0r TIE prompt Offer 10 CltOd or
1fnnetidte annexation 20 the United States.

They Lenp from a Railway Car In Motion
One Killed, Three Wounded.
TFrOm the Richmond Whig, Oct, 7.


Yesterday morning ferty-two negro convicts, under
guard, left by the Central cars for Covngton, to
work on the road between the White Sulphur Springs
and that place. They Were all put into baggage
Car which was attached To the rear passenger car OF
the mail train. While at the depot before leaving
There was manner about them which indicated
that they were far from being reconced either to
the surveillance Of their meagre guard the zebra
Uniform In which they wele clad. One. more out
spoken than The rest accosted one OF the city police
on duty there and said to him, "iou are the ID
son OF b-h that caught me, but I'll get even with
you yet" Their conduct after getting IN the
car was In keeping with their department
at the depot; but it was not until they reached
point between Gordonsville and "Llndsey's' that
they made an open demonstration. Then they rose,
OverpOw ered their guard ana broke open the rear
door OF their car. Although tue train was running
at full speed, twenty -nve OF them leaped without
hesitation from 1t, falling pel-mell upon and along
side OF the track. Strange to say however, only
one was killed outright and but three so badly IN
luIed as TO relder them incapable OF getting away
These were taken up by the down train and brought
to Gerdonsville Although they revived somewhat
after While, tney seemed to have sustained severe
internal injuries, Which gave them drOwsy and some
what stupid appearance. Tho convicts who did not
jump OIL were carried CT to C0vington. When the
guard WAS oyerpowered their arms were thrown
out OF the Car windows. The escape OF the
twenty-five was discovered not long after it had
cured or those now at large 1t Is probable that but
Few escaped without injury, and 1t Is reasonable to
suppose that many seriously hurt and Will not be
able to travel far before they are rearrested.
One or the wounded negroes when asked by
negro at Gordonsviie why he tried to get away, said
1t was because he wanted to get back to Mr.. Ward
well and did not want to go over the mountains.
OF the one hundred or more negro convicts who
have gone to'Allelhany county to work on the rail-
road and the Healing Springs turnpike quite one
nall have escaped, very lew or whom have been re-
captured. THIS Is not ut all to be wondered at as
when Wardwell went there IN the summer, as we
arc informed, aud made them speech, IN which he
told them he did not blame them for trying to escape.
About ten took his advice and were absent at next
mornings roll call.

known.
1t is expected that as the Russians re-
move, the population will become Amer
icanized, and affairs will change for the
better.
General Davis issued orders that what
ever article of provisions Indians wish
ed to sell must he exposed in market,
&c. In many instances the Indians
have been detected violating the order
and have been arrested and their liquor
confscated, wbareupon the tribe would
appear ut headquarters and demand re-
lease. Ii refused they would hold u
council of war and the lodge chief make
savage threats at the whites.
Continuous rains took place. Snow
