Richmond, June 25. Senator Sumner
has written letter to a citizen of Norfolk,
declaring that he knows no ground on which
colored men could be excluded from a seat
in Congress, if elected, saying that he should
welcome the election of competent repres>
entative of the colored race to either House
of Congress, as the final triumph of equal
rights. Until this step is taken, recOnstruc-
lion would be incomplete.

RAINY AND CoLD.-Iu the language of the al
manac makers, the weather continues "rainy
and cold" 1t is now the first week in July, but
the temperature is about what might be expected
in the month of March. Occasionally we have
day or two of clear, pleasant weather, but this
again is followed by cold, rainy spells" The
'" oldest inhabitant" says be never before has
known such season, and new comers change
the expression somewhat and characterize it as
" winter lingering in the lap of summer"

CONGRESSIONAL.

Washington, June 25.-The Senate took
up the Legislative Appropriation bill During
the debate on the clause appropriatiDg 81 So,
900 for temporary Treasury clerks, the Presi>
dents veto of the Omnibus Reconstruction
bill was received from the House. The bill
passed over the veto 35 to s.
Mr.. Davis, having first delivered long
eulogium on the President, in the House,
on the tax bill, Mr.. Schenck made an appeal
especially to republican members to be re-
gular in their attendance during the eonsid>
Grafton Of the tax bill. A number Of amend
ments were offered.
A substitute was adopted allowing draw
back of fifty per cent per gallon on import
ed alcohol and rum. Sections So to 81 we're
stricken out except 81.
The Committee rose at half.past four
o'clock. The Speaker presented the PreSio
dents veto bill, admitting several Southern
States to representation. The message is
brief. The President declares that he does
not deem it necessary to open discussion
upon the grave constitutional objections
formerly urged to similar measures. He
declares that the bill imposes conditions in
derogation of the equal rights of the States,
founded on theory subversive of the funda>
mental conditions of the Government. In
the case of Alabama it violates the plighted
faith of Congress, by forcing on that State
Constitution rejected by the people. The
bill passed over the veto by vote of los
to 80. ---.ss- m
The House again went into Committee on
the tax bill at the proviso to insert that
spirits forfeited shall be sold for the benefit
Of Government, and also directing that spirits
in bonded warehouses shall be withdrawn
within six months and taxes paid.
On motion of Schenck, section 65 was
amended by imposing tax of 81 per barrel
on owners of distilled spirits.

A NARROW EsoAPEs-Last SatuT-
day a negro man went into Dir.
Hunnells sash aud door factory
and asked for some saw dust. He
was told that ne could have it,
but was cautioned to be careful in
case he had occasion to get under a
table where a saw was in motion. He
did not obey orders, and as a con-
sequence the saw cut his hat wide
open while he was under the bench.
1t is not possible that the saw could
have missed his head the eighth Of
an inch. La case the saw had come
in contact with the negro's head, the
question was, whether the saw would
have lost its teeth or the negro his
head.
