THE Mississippi delegation in the House
Rrc anxious to get the political disabilities
Of every citizen Of their State removes,
have prepared general bill granting am
ncsty TO every person In that State who Is
DISTINGUISHED by the third section Of the
Fourteenth Amendment, including, Of
course, Jefferson Davis. No such liberal
spirit rs this has been CvinCcd by any Ot
tie Southern delegations in Congress,
though tic proposed bill Is based OH the
resolutions Of the Mississippi Legislature,
asking Congress to remove the political
disabilities Of all the citizens Of that State.
1t is not probable that this special bill will
be considered until the general amnesty
bill agreed on by the Reconstruction Com
mittce Is disposed Of by Congress, which
may avoid the necessity Of special legtsla-
tiOn. ".r. ...
THE Senate Committee Oh Foreign Re-
latiOns took up and discussed at length,
Friday, the treaty to purchase San Do
ming0, but did not reach final vote on
tho question of reporting 1t for ratitlc4-
ton. General Babcock, Of the Prcsi'
dents staff, who was one Of the Commits
sioncrs sent TO San Domingo last year TO
Negotiate this treaty, appeared before tho
committee and explained the resources,
population, debt anl commercial anti M
val Importance Of the island, and also sub
mtted the result Of the recent vote OF the
people there for annexation 10 tho United
States. The committee arc understood to
be very much divided on tho treaty, and
It will undergo considerable discussion be-
fore It Is reported 10 the Senate. AS INIT
tiers now stand, 1t Is doubtful If it can oh
tain two-thirls vote in tho ScnHte.

THE House Judiciary Committee Inns
given considerable attention Of late TO the
proposition for, reporting bill placing
corporations rs citizens, virtually dcClar-
ing them to be persons, and that under
the Constitution, corporate bodies of other
States shall be entitled to the rights OF ctti-
zeus in the various States. A Bill to meet
these questions Of the general rights OF
these associations has been agreed upon
by the committee and will be reported ut
an carly day. '.'W..'
A REPORT has been sent over the coun-
try that tho House Committee on Foreign
Affairs Ind agreed to report In favor Of
cratning bclligcrcnt rights tothe Cuban
insurgents. The committee has not taken
any formal action upon the question,
though several Of its members are In favor
of such step. The Cuban bOnd-prOot
patriots are in Washington in force from
New York, and, with the holders OF
bonds, arc very active In pressing upon
Senators md Representatives their iticaS
Of what the national honor requires
There is no change in the policy OF the nd
ministration in the matter.
The Military Committee have taken Gv-
idcnce showing that an outside party
named StanbCrry, took twelve hundred
dollars from the parents Of the cNdct nom.
mated by James Brooks, Of New York.
There Is no evidence connecting Mr..
Brooks with the transaction, nor docs any
one believe he was In Any way Involved.
THE prospect for passing the chief fcA-
lures, Of Gen. Logan's Military bill In the
Senate seems to be good. An amendment
to the eleventh section, prohibiting OIL
GERS from holding any civil Office, may
be amended, as suggested by Mr.: Mum
gen, so rs TO refer only to the active list,
the yobjectlbeing moi 10 prevent disabled
officers on tho retired list, from accepting
civil positions. a.. a.a4ra
