WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, January l6.-Gcneral
Gillem was before the Reconstruction
Committee again to-day. He was exam
ined re alive to the disturbances alleged
to have taken place in the seven coun'
ties of Mississippi carried by the oppo-
nents of the constitution. He testi-
fed substantially that there was
some disturbance there during the cleo
ton, but not enough to materially affect
the general result. he admitted that prob
ably, in some cases, the negroes remained
away from the polls through intimida-
ton, but he did not think they absented
themselves in any considerable numbers !;
or that if they had all been present it
would have affected the election so as to
secure a majority in that section of the
State for the Constitution,

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, January l5-The House
Election Committee reported on the
Sixth Georgia District substantially as
heretofore stated, namely: that Wimpey
was not elected, and that Christy was
but he was not entitled to the seat, having
materially aided the enemy.
A number of private bills were re-
ported, and the consideration OF the Nj
sgara ship canal was resumed. Among
the notable features of the discussion
General Sypher, of Louisiana, in oppo-
sition, said that grain was now being
shipped from st. Louis to New York, via
New Orleans, at lie per pushel less than
via Chicago and Buffalo, and to Liver
pool at zoe less per bushel via New
Orleans than via New York, and
in one-.hird less time. The trans
nortatiou via New Orleans is
made with perfect safety to the COM
modify. and at a cost of about one cent
per bushel for transportation at New
Orleans, by means of Higbee's elevators;
besides the Niagara ship canal would be
frozen four months in the year, whereas
the Mississippi was constantly navigable.
The bill was finally referred to the Com
mittee of the Whole, which amounts to
its defeat for this session; and the House
adjourned until Monday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee re-
ported adversely to the joint resolution
making the President and Vice Presi-
dent ineligible for second term, and
after some unimportant business the con-
sideratipn of the Sue Murphy case was
resumed, and after long argument the
whole matter, With the various PROPOSE
tons and amendments, was recommitted
without division, and the Senate ad-
journed till Monday.

After many conferences between the

Of the Senate. and members OF tie Sen

pared, authorizing Q division Of Vir-
GINA spon the adoption Of the proposed

clauses with regard to disfrsnchisemsnt,

tioHable features, stricken out. And
when ibis bill is passed it is believed that
it will be followed by an amnesty bill,

The special to the Courier. Journal, Of
yesterday, states that General Gillem
testified before the Reconstruction Com
mittes to-day, and his examination was
not concluded. He reiterated bis former
official statement that the election was
peaceable and the Constitution was fairly
voted down. he is strongly opposed to
forcing the Constitution on that people,
and gives favorable reports as to their
disposition toward the Government"
This does not agree with our Radical
kilograms of yesterday, which stated that
Gen. G. admitted fraud aud force in the
Mississippi election.

Troy, January l6.-Judge Dickey, the
subcommittee man of the special com
mittee Of the House Of Representatives,
to investigate the frauds committed al
the late election in this State, made but
short stay here, and examined only
one or two witnesses. A list Of one
hundred witnesses had been prepared,
but he declined to summon them, re-
marking that be and his colleagues were
heartily tired of listening to cases OF
Individual frauds; he therefore confined
his investigation to the manner in which
naturalization papers were issued in the
Troy Justice Court
1t is said that Commodore Richard N.
Meade has suffered stroke of paralysis,
and that his condition is critical.
The annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, of this State, was
commenced at Albany yesterday-it ses-
sions being held with closed doors.
Many prominent army officers in attend
ance. Gen. Sickles was reelected Grand
Commander.
Baron Geralt, the Prussian Minister,
and Secretary Seward are at present en-
gagged in framing treaty between this
country and Prussia, for the benefit of
emigrants coming here from that part of
Europe. 1t is intended to have a Prus-
sian official located in New York, who,
in conjunction with an officer designated
by the United States Government,
and in correspondence with a
board of commissioners, shall see after
the interest of Prussian subjects, and
save them from many dangers to which
they might otherwise be exposed.
