In the Senate, yesterday, the following new
bills were introduced: BY Mr.. Drake, to pro-
vide for the completion Of the Union Pacific
Railroad, Eastern Division, to Denver, Colorado.
BY Mr.. Wilson, to authorize the consolidation
OF infantry regiments BY Mr.. Sumner to regu-
late telegraphic communication between the
u S. and other countries. The consideration
of the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill was resumed, the question being on the
amendment making the salary Of the three
Judges at Capetown, Sierra Leone and New
York 500 each per annum, and the arbitra-
tors at the sameports $50 each per annum, in
lieu of the appropriation of $l2,5 as now
made tor that purpose. After prolonged dis
cussion, substitute for the amendment was
adopted providing that the Judges shall reside
at the towns for which they were appointed {,
and their salaries shall only be paid for the
time they are at their posts.
In the House of Representatives, after the

A BAD THING Both WAYs.-A bill for the
amendment of the pension law, which has late
ly been before Congress, has a section which
has elected some justly deserved anmadver-
sion in the House, and which directs the with
drawal of pensions from female pensioners un-
der certain circumstances indicating absence
ot chastity. Mr.. Perham, of Maine, who re-
ported the bill to the House, defended the OBJ
noxious section, and quoted the Commissioner
of Pensions as having reported that the num-
Der of soldiers widows who were cohabitng
without marriage, refusing that solemn legal
rite, was increasing, because the pension
ceases on re-marriage,) and that the govern
ment should not be unwtlin ely placed in the
strange attitude Of offering a premium on i'm
morality. 1t is certainly very much to be re-
GREETED, if the fact be as stated yet any one can
see what great mischief might come out OF such
a provision of law as is proposed. Mr.. Schenck
characterized this section as the most monstr-
Gus and disgraceful proposition he had ever
seen in any bill, inasmuch as it made the Court
of Pensions the judge of the virtue of soldiers
widows, and required them to prove a negdttre
Mr.. Ingersol declared that it would be a dis
grace to the statute book and an outrage to the
widows of soldiers. Ball. Sun.

The Washington correspondent of the n. Y.
Herald says that Secretary Browning gave q
reception" at his residence on Saturday after
ternoon last, to the colored messengers of the
Department of the Interior. and their families.
They were Hospitality entertained, and address
ed by the Secretary, who gave them good ad-
vice and warned them to beware OF designing
demagogues, who professed friendship for the
colored man only to betray him, and assured
them that, whatever may be said to the con-
trary, there could not be, in any section OF the
county. warmer or more disinterested friends
to the colored race than the intelligent classes
of the South. They should. he told them, not
pin their political faith to any particular party
iu the belief that their friends can only be
found in that party alone.

RECONSTRUCTION IN VIRGINIA. The follow
ing statement is made by the Washington cor

RECONSTRUCTION IN VIRGINIA The follow
ing statement is made by the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Gazette:
1.-The special meeting of the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate, held few evenings since
to consider the propositions submitted to them
by the Richmond Committee OF Nine, resulted
In satisfying the members OF that committee
that nothing was to be done to relieve Virginia
from the embarrassment OF having either to
adopt the Underwood Constitution or to con-
tinue under military rule. Senator Hendricks
had expressed q strong belief that the commit
tee would inaugurate the movement desired by
the Richmond gentlemen, but yesterday he as
sured his friends that the proposition was hope
less and advised them to abandon the whole
thing. The result has been that the commit
tee from Virginia have returned.
1t is due to MIR. Conkling, of New York, to
say that he was the only Radical on the COM
mittee who was disposed to listen to the state
ments made by Col. Baldwin and others, and
who expressed any sympathy for Virginia or
Virginians 1t is now understood among the
Radicals that the constitutional flight IN vrr-
GINA is to be desperate one, and that the first
legal act of the new Administration will be to
throw its whole weight and influence in favor
of adopting the Underwood Constitution, by
which large portion of the white population
of the State will be disfranchised 10 o discus
sion to day at the room of the Radical Execu.
tive Committee, Mr.. Schenck, the chairman OF
the committee, declared that virginia was
to be the first battle field of the new Pres dent,
aud the party could soon determine whether
President Grants purpose was to stand by his
party as firmly as General Grant did. y
We give the statement above as We find it:
but We are inclined to think that the writer has
been misinformed about Nh. Schenck 8 remarks.
That gentleman would not be likely to show
his hand, so soon. as to issues to be made about
Gen. Grant.
