FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, March 16.
SENATE. Mr.. Morton in compimenting
MIR. Revels on his speech, expressed the
opinion that in the exchange which had been
made, BY which the gentleman occupied the
place of jefferson Davis, the Senate lost
nothing in intelligence, while it gained much
in patriotism and loyalty. He proceeded to
aIgue that the government of Georgia was
PROVISIONAL and would so continue until ac-
tually represented in Congress. He claimed
that in reconstruction legislation, Congress
never assumed 20 give particular construc-
ton TO the constitution of the state, as did
Mr.. Binghams amendment in declaring the
length of the terms of the present state Off
GERS.
Mr.. Morton went on in review of the whole
question, claiming the present government of
Georgia as only provisional, and declared Mr..
Bingham's amendment was source Of exul-
tation to the extreme southern wing of the
democratic party and opposed it as a viola
ton of justice and Of human rights.
The Senate went into executive session
and subsequently, adjourned.
HoUsE. Mr.. Logan from the Committee
On Military Affairs, reported that in the case
OF Mr.. Butler of Tennessee, the committee
had arrived at the following conclusions:
First, That on the 2lst of February, 1869
Mr.. Butler recommended the appointment of
Augustus c. Tyler, son Of Gen. Tyler to
the West Point Academy
Second, That Tyler was not a resident OF
the First Congressional District of Tenn.
Third, That after the appointment was
made, the agent or attorney of Gen Tyler
had given to Mr.. Butler nine hundred dol
lars, and that Mr.. Butler had received it with
the avowed intention of using it for political
purposes in Tennessee. The committee ex-
presses the opinion that the conduct of Mr..
Butter in appointing nonresident of his
district, and subsequently accepting money
from Gen. Tyler, deserves the condemnation
Of the House.
Adjourned.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHISGroS, April 2j.
The Senate Committee on Military Affairs
have substantially agreed to the provisions of
Mr.. Wilson's army bill, excepting those relat-
ing to pay of officers, for which they will
probably recommend the schedule of the
House bill with notifications.
The bill to enforce the 18th Amendment.
reported in the Senate this morning, provides
that any state or territorial official failing to
give all citizens an opportunity to perform
any prerequisite for voting established by
the laws of such state or territory. shall for
felt $500 to the person so deprived and on
conviction shall pay a fine equal to that
amount. An offer to perform shall be deemed
equivalent to the performance of pre-re-
quisite if illegal opposition is made, and the
United States Courts are given jurisdiction in
cases arising under the law.
The order removing the 18th and 18th reg
iments of infantry from Virginia and Ken
lucky, and assigning them to the department
of Dekotah, removes all the troops now in
those states, and has something to do with
affairs in the Red River country. There are
already in Dekotah three regiments OF in
fantry and battalion of cavalry.

As the season of house cleaning is upon
us, the following directions for cleaning
paint may be found serviceable:
provide a plate with some of the best
whiting to be had, and have ready some
clean warm water and piece of flannel,
which dip into the water and squeeze near
ly dry; then take rs much whiting as will
adhere to it, apply tito the painted surface,
when little rubbing will instantly remove
any dirt or grease. After which wash well
with clean water, rubbing it dry with soft
flannel. Paint thus cleaned looks as well
as when first laid on, without any injury
to the most delicate colors. 1t is far bet
ter than using soap, and does not require
more than half the time and labor

brigade of colored troops raised under the
authority Of the war department for the diff

sions and actual muster in, was passed and
that to authorize the settlement of the ac-
counts of officers of the army and navy, was
referred to the Committee on Finance.

said, that while the amounts involved in the
settlements were very large and the actual
balances trivial, the pay department had paid
out III consequence Of the war, more than
one thousand millions of dollars. and yet the
total amount of loss to the government would
not exceed quarter of million compared
with the loss sustained in the war of 1912,

gratifying, the war Of 1872 having occasioncd
loss in the pay department of S2.000,0o0,
