On the 10th, Congress reassemblei and Q
bill was presented by Err. Bingham in the
House, declaring Virginia entitled to rep
resentation. After some discussion and
parliamentary shutting, action on the bill
was postponed.
The Reconstruction Committee met on the
18th and prepared and presented comprom-
Use bill. The correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun speaks of their action as follows
The Virginia situation approaches solu-
ton. The House committee on reconstruct
ton met this morning, and General Butler,
its chairman, being absent, General Farms
worth, the senior member of the committee,
occupied the chair The various bills rela-
ting to Virginia were taken up, and it was
finally agreed, by majority of four, to
frame new bill aud report it to the House
which was subsequently, done. The bill was
made the special order for tomorrow. It
is quite compound in its way.
The preamble is taken from Gen Buffers
bill, the fundamental conditions, or condi-
tons precedent to the admission OF the
State, are from the bill presented by Hamil-
ton Ward, of New York, while the conclu-
sion is new matter, virtually accepting 81,
valid the present election of Senators. The
bill seems to be compromise measure, and
will undoubtedly pass the House. The oath
to be exacted from the members of the Leg
islature is not one of prohibition, like the
test oath, but one Of discrimination and
qualifcation-being substantially that ex-
acted by the boards of registration during
the election. The legislative committee Of
nine from Virginia, who we're at the capitol,
express themselves satisfied with the bill,
and believe that it will be generally accepta-
Bile to the Legislature. They are Of the
opinion that there is but one member of the
Legislature who cannot take the oath pre-
scribed
