A Washington letter to the Baltimore Ga

Avery significant ''bill'' has just been sub

five American Bastiles, 'in proper lOcalities,' y
to be called military Prisons" Its details are
as follows:
2. That the general of the army shall detail
prison commandments and grades
3. That so much of the pay of every convict
as may be stopped by sentence of court-mar-
tial shall 60 to the support Of the prisons.
4. That each convict shall be allowed such

issued to troops, as the Secretary of War may
prescribe.
S. The President to appoint prison chap

G. That for the discipline OF refractory prl-
soncrs, the prison comlnandant silail as often
as necessary, assemble q court, to consist OF
from one to three officers under his command,

war TO govern couris-marlial, and such pun
;shment may consist OF standing or sitting i'll
the stocks, or solitary confinement with de-
priration of part ofration, or with deprivation
of tobacco, at the discretion OF the court
This movement is ominous OF reign OF ter

so as to answer other purposes than the mere
salekeeping and punishment Of refractory

connection with the fact that Trnmbulls bill,
the object of which is to legalize military

WASHINGTON, January 81.
Within few days there have been such de-
yelopments from the conferences OF leading Re-
publican members Of both Houses, that the fu-
ture policy Of the Republican party can be easily
anticipated The Introduction of. the bill in the
House to declare null and void such acts OF the
Legislatures and State Conventions as became
laws by virtue of the votes OF members OF the
same, who are disqualified by the third section OF
the Fourteenth amendment, is intended to nulliiy
the Tennessee State Convention, and but paves
the way for other interference in the in
ternal polity of the States, by virtue Of
the consolidation Of power in the Federal Govern
ment by the Fifteenth amendment, when the lat
ter is adopted. Among the first attempts under
that amendment will be the introduction OF bills
TO carry into force the amendment in Maryland,
Kentucky and New York. Owing to the repeal OF
its ratification by the New York Democratic Leg
islature, the Republican members are extremely
anxious to pass general law removing the prop
erty qualification imposed on negro voters IN
New York. Congressional interference with all
the States, North as we'll as South, will soon he
the new Radical platform.
The Northern contested election cases have been
pressel so earnestly on the calendar Of the House
that the South Carolina case OF Wallace against
Slmpson was again crowded OF. 1t is hard to say
when it will come up now. The South Carolina
delegation are endeavorng to seat Wallace, (Rad.)
but 1t is believed they will fail.
A very queer story has prevailed here several
days to the effect that Edwin NJ. Stanton, in fit
of insanity, produced by illness, committed sui
eide by cutting his throat 1t will be remembered
that no one outside of the family were allowed to
see the remains, even on the day Of the funeral I;
and this has given color to the sensation
There are half dozen bills before the Recon-
s.ruction Committee proposing to remove the
political disabilities Of South Carolinians, but
these have all been laid aside, pending the con-
sideration of general amnesty law.
The House Committee on Appropriations are
ayerse to making appropriations to complete the
Charleston customhouse, though it has been es-
tImated for by the Department.
A calculation made for the Senate Census COM
m!ttee shows that under an apportionment Of
three hundred members for the House of the For
ty-second Congress, the Southern States will gain
but ten members.

WEST POINT BLACK-BALLED.

The Boston Journal SAYS: "Gen. But
Ter has appointed to the cadetship of the
Essex District at West Point, vacated by
desertion, young man named Charles
Sumner Wilson, of Salem, the son of
Thomas C. Wilson, a private soldier who
died in the service of the United States.
His widowed mother resides in Salem,
where she has given him an excellent
education in the public schools, and he is
said to be well qualified for the appoint
ment. 1t will be observed that he bears
the names of the two Senators from Mas
sachusetts, and his complexion is the
same as that of the Senator from Missis-
sippi.
The Cincinnati Chronicle, Radical,
says:
As the placid surface of the Senate has
been rufiled by the appearance of the
dark-hued Revels, so IS the complacency
of West Point cadets, through the kind
attentions of General Butler, to be dis
turbed by a visible admixture in their
ranks, provided Master Charles Sumner
Wilson passes the due examination.
There will be persons uncharitable enough
to say that Butler planned this little SEN
sation because he loves West Point less,
and not the "man and brother" more.
We indulge no such uncharitable thought.
We accept the deed and will not chal-
lenge the motive.
