WASHINGTON, Jan. II.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.
Congress reassembled yesterday.
In the Senate, Mr.. Cattellintroduced
a resolution favoring the including of
the annexation of British Columbia a.
mong the subject Of negotiation with
Great Britain. Bills were introduced
by Mr.. Stewart, extending the protec-
tion of the Civil Rights Act to the
Chinese; also abolishing franking, and
establishing a Government telegraph
system; by Mr.. Williams, to provide
for the redemption Of greenbacks in
coin, at the rate of 81 in coin for 81 20
in greenbaeks. The bin for the adnls-
sion of Virginia was considered, and
after an executive session, the Senate
adjourned.
In the House, bills were introduced
by Mr.. Dickey, to exempt farmers and
gardeners from paying brokers' tax on
their sales; by Mr.. Lawrence, to a
mend the Homestead law in favor of
soldiers; by Mr. Asper, to extend the
privileges of the National Banking
act by Mr.. Wells, to repeal the bank
ruptcy laws by Mr.. Palmer, to estab-
lish free banking; by Paine, to appor-
tion representatives, making the num-
Der 800 and for the admission of Virgin
ia, and by Mr.. Johnson, declaring the
right of States to protect themselves a.
gainst the effects of Chinese immigra-
ton. Mr.. Bingham offered a resolu-
tion, declaring Virginia entitled to
representation in Congress, and NOV
ed the previous question, which was
seconded. The main question was
then ordered yeas, GS; nays IS. Mr.
Benjamin, of Mo, moved to recOnsid-
er the vote ordering the main question.
On this motion there was a tie vote,
and the speaker giving his vote in the
negative, the motion was rejected
Subsequently, Mr.. Paine said there
was an error in making up the result,
Mr.. Hoar having voted yea, and his
vote not having been recorded. The
vote was counted accordingly, and on
the recurrence of the question, shall the
main question be ordered, the vote
stood, yeas, 66; nays so, and the bill
was laid over. Is Republicans voted
yea. After some further business the

THE IRREPREsoIBLE NEGRO.- Verify
the world moves fast, and the greatest
changes take place within very short
time. Less than ten years ago the ne
groes had no social or political rights
with the white men. They are now
equal with the whites, and in the
South superior, so far as our Radical
Government can make them so. An
event occurred at the White House on
New Years day which shows how
"colored folks' understanding hat an
order had been given that they were
not to have the honor ofa reception by
the President until after the white
folks had beer received, rebelled at
this invidious distinction, and made a
great noise at such a violation of the
Chicago platform and the principles Ct
the party in power. Samb0 is right.
The party in power owes its existence
to him and it was an unkird cut to place
him in the background. We know not
the ground of this exclusion; lit was
on account Of the odor that might have
troubled the crowds of white ladies
and gentlemen present on that Occa-
sion we recommend Congress to make
an appropriation for large quantity
of eau de cologne for the negroes in
time for the next New Years recep-
ton. -NeU York Herald.

CESSNA THE DIsuxIOxEsr.


Virginia, after having been recon
| structed in the latest and most appro-
we'd fashion, having elected carpet
bagger Governor, chosen negro Con-
gresham and sent number of negroes
to the legislature, and having eaten
dirt by the bushel in ratifying the
Fifteenth amendment, isstill excluded
from the Union. \ bill for her read
mission has been under discussion in
Congress ever since the commence
ment of the session and still hangs fire
in the Senate. The radicals in Con-
gress are divided on the subject The
extreme ring, led by Sumner in the
Senate, and by Butler in the House,
oppose the admission of Virginia as at
present constructed. They propose
to exact new and more severe condi-
tons from the people of that prosecuted
state. They are not satisfied with the
low humiliation and abject obedience
of the high-minded and honorable
Virginian. They must seeh him bound to
their political car with bands of iron be-
fore they are willing to allow his state
representation in Congress. The mod
crates under the lead of Trumbull in
the Senate and Bingham in the House,
are ready to accept the sacrifices of Nir-
gina as a complete atonement for her
past sins, and favor her immediate re-
admission. Bingham's bin declaring
the State entitled to representation in
Congress passed the House, on Friday
last, after a prolonged and bitter Oppo-
sition. The radical delegation from
this State divided equally on the ques-
ton. Messrs. Armstrong, Cake, Gill
fillan, Mercur, Scofeld, MorrelI, My
ers and Packer voted yea; Messrs. Cess
ma, Dickey, Donley, Kelley, Negley, o.
Nell, Phelps and Townsend voted nay.
Stick pin right here. Let the people
of the Sixteenth Congressional District
understand that their representative,
Mr.. Cessna, votes against the restOra-
ton of Virginia to the Union, in spite
Of the recommendation Of President
Grant. The blatant and brawling dem
agogue who was wont to below for the
Union" now votes in Congress to
keep the Union dissolved. He is
a disuni0Hist. He is alike faithless to
the party in whose bosom he was
nurtured, and to the cause which he
has latterly professed to uphold. His
treason TO the Democracy ard his inf
deity to the cause Of a restored Union
are akin in every respect. The fact is
he cannot be true to anything except
his own selfish and ambitious aims
But we dislike to be personal. We
would only like to know what the "U-
nion men" par excellence, the Republi-
cans, of this Congressional district,
think of their representative voting to
keep Virginia out of the Union. Are
they with Grant, and TrumbuIl and
Bingham and Farnsworth, or with
Sumner and Butler and the carpet-bag
ger Whittemore, and little John Cess
ma? One of these parties must be
wrong. Which is it? If the radical
newspapers of this district are not
struck dumb by this vote of Cessna's,
they will give US their opinions on the
subject. Men and brethren, let Us hear
from you!

WASHINGTON, Jan. u.

Virginia was the theme in both
Houses of Congress yesterday In the
Senate the debate was continued, and
an effort Of the uItras to procure the
postponement of the bill was defeated,
p to 26 "a number of Radicals voting
with the Democrats in the negative.
A discussion on brakes infamous a.
mendment followed; Mr.. Williams, of
OregOn-0ne of the ablest of the Radi-
cal SenatOrs-giving il a complete rid
ding but the arrival of message from
the President prevented action. The
question came up in the House upon
the report of new bill from the Re-
construction Committee; a bill which
Mr.. Eldrige, of Wisconsin, stigmatized
as abominable. 1t was recOmmitted in
order to be printed, and will come up
again today. Among the important
business in the Senate was the notice of
a bill by Mr.. Summer to authorize the
refunding and consolidation of the ma
tional debt, to extend banking facili-
ties, ana 10 establish specie payments.
Mr.. Sherman, from the Finance Conn
mittee, reported, as a substitute for the
various propositions relating to the
currency before the committee, bill
providing for the issue of 100000
more national bank-note currency in
place of an equal amount Of three per
cent. certificates, to be retired. Also,
for free banking on a gold basis, the
banks to be allowed to issue gold notes
to the extent of ninety per cent. of the
bonds deposited. Noprovision is made
for funding. In the House of Repre-
sentatives several bills and resolutions
of no special interest were presented.
The proceedings concluded with gen.
eral debate in the Committee of the
/ Whole on the negro and finance

WAsHINGToN. Jan. Is.


The House was engaged during the
whole of yesterday on the bill to adj
nit Virginia into the Union. After
protlacted debate, the amendment of
Mr.. Wlttimore, of South Carolina, inn
posing penalty for false swearing by
members of the Legislature was re-
jected, after which Mr.. Bingham's sub
stitute was adopted by 9S yeas to 80
nays. The bill as amended was then
passed by yeas 143, nays 40. The
House then adjourned until Monday.
In the Senate the joint resolution in
regard to Virginia admission, pending
from the previous day, was taken up.
A long debate ensued, and several a
mendments were offered and rejected.
One, however, offered by Mr.. Wiley,
of West Virginia, was adopted, requir-
ing the members and officers of the
Virginia Legislature to take the oath
prescribed in the third section of the
fourteenth amendment, but allowing
the immediate admission of the State.
A night session was held, and the sub
ject farther discussed. The Senate re-
ceived the bill that had been passed by
the House. but laid it aside without
action, and continued the consideration
of its own bill. The Senate adjourn
ed, at 1890 p. NJ, until Monday, hav-
ing agreed to take vote at o'clock
2. NJ on that day.

On New Years day three children,
sons Of Mr.. Joseph Whyle, a respecta-
bic laboring man, residing near Pom
ton, in Passaic county, n. j., at the
base of Wynockie mountain, left home
for the purpose of ''going nutting" in
the woods on the mountain, 1t was
four O'Clock when they left home, so
that their failure to return at nightfall
occasiOned but little alarm. After that
however, their continuei absence rem
dered the distracted parents almost
frantic. The fearful rain storm which
prevailed during the night and part of
the next day fearfully intensified the
feelings of the bereaved father and
mother, inasmuch as their little darl
ings and not yet been seen or heard
from. On Monday search was made
by number Of the country people,
but nothing could be discovered of the
whereabouts Of the missing children,
whose ages were pectively ten, seven
and five years. The entire neighbor-
hood at length joined IN the search,
and it was not till Tuesday last the
mystery was solved. The innocent
trio were found lying dead, side by
side, on the south side of the noun
tain, some ten or eleven miles from
their home. 1t was quite thickly COW
cred with timber where the bodies
ere discovered. From the appear
ance of the latter il Is thought that the
children existed for several days on
the nuts they had gathered previous to
being benighted, and having lost their
way were Overtaken by physical eX-
haustion and starvation, which result
ed in death. Their bodies were re-
moved to the home Of their heartbro-
ken parents, for whom the entire com
inunity evinces the deepes- sympathy.
