that, at the outset, his sympathies were with Ger

RECONSTRUCTION,
The reconstruction committee is considering

more efficient protection of the colored people
and white republicans. The subject is in the
hands of a subcommittee.

THE PACIFIC ROADS.
Gen. Butler is after the Pacific railroads.
His resolution authorizing the president to APP
point committee to investigate the affairs of
the Union and Central companies was referred
to a committee, but it will be pushed to some
final action. Mr.. Butler wants to know what
these companies have done with their bonds,
stock and income.
THE SPRAGUE CASE.
Another large batch of papers in the Sprague-
Texas cotton ease came to the senate this after
noon. 1t is noticed that nothing is contained in
them bearing out Sprague's allegation that the
Texas venture was prompted by a motive of
humanity to save Union people, but there is
considerable evidence that cotton was the sole
object.
MR.. WILSON AND Mr.. DAWES.
Senator Wilson was on the house floor this
afternoon, chatting with his friends, and happy
over his caucus nomination. He and Mr.. Dawes
talked over the caucus vote, and evidently ex-
tracted considerable amusement from it. Some
of the papers this way have given currency to
the story that Mr.. Dawes seriously ran against
Mr.. Wilson for the senatorial nomination. The
fact is that Mr. Dawes made no contest, and did
not expect single vote in the caucus.

A SEIZURE was made, last evening, by order
of the mayor and aldermen. Parties from New
York have been, for some days, engaged in SELL
ing at auction, at 211 Main street, what is de-
scrbed as bankrupt stock of goods" Mr..
James Whan of New York has officiated as auc-
tioneer, while another gentleman from New
York, Mr., Thomas L. Gould, we believe, is sup
posed to own the goods. The mayor and alder
men have ordered proceedings against them on
the ground that they were selling at auction
without license The order is based on section
of the 5Oth chapter of the general statutes,
which reads as follows :-"If person sells or
offers for sale by auction any goods or chattels,
in any city or town, except as is provided in this
chapter, the same shall be forfeited TO the use of
the city or town, and may be seized by the
mayor and aldermen or seectmen, and libelled
according to the provisions of chapter one hun
dred and fifty-thrce The seizure was made by
Marshal brennan, and the goods are now in the
charge of city officers. 1t is claimed by those
selling the goods that they were selling in the
name of Lamson & Glazier, to whom the proper
ty had been consigned. The mayor and alder
men hold that they have eyaded and violated
the law, Mr.. Whan being actually the auc-
tioneer.
