were determined to emigrate, he hoped
they would stick to the old flag and go to
the British colonies.

road bridge across the the Mississippi river
ut Memphis Tennessee. In reply to ques-
tions by FinlSlenhurg, he stated that the
main span of the bridge was to- be at least
400 feet in the clear, and that the bRidge
might he built with draw.
Finklenburg, of Missouri, opposed the
bill, remarking that all were agreed that
no bridge with draw should be built over
the Mississippi below st. Louis. Such
bridges had already done damage enough
above that city. No such detriment to
commerce should be permitted below that
point and it was questionable whether any
bridge should be permitted between st.
Louis and New Orleans.
The Merchants Exchange OF st, Louis
had met yesterday in order to consider that
subject and he expected to hear from that
meeting tomorrow. He hoped that the
bill would either be committed or referred
to the Committee of Commerce.
Cox, of New York, gave notice that he,
would move to lay the bill on the table.
Potter asked Packer whether the bili
had been recommended by the engineer
officers of the government. Packer replied
that IL had not, but that the interests of the
government were entirely guarded by
making the matter subject to the judg-
ment and control of the Secretary of
War. -
Potter cautioned the House against re-
pcating the blunder that it had committed
sometime ago in authorizing a bridge
across the Ohio River at Cincinnati, which
had subsequently to be changed at great
expense, for which the Government was
held responsible. He was satisfied that
no bridge should be permitted by Congress
across any of the great rivers of the coun-
try without the most careful deliberation
and without the examination and report
of some officers OF the Government not
connected with private interests. ..
The morning hour having expired the
bill went over without action until to
morrow. .f r. .#

WASHINGTON, Feb. IO,-Some impor-
tant movement of troops will soon be
ordered by the War Department, the effect
of which will be to take from the States
of Kentucky, North and South Carolina,
Alabama and Tennessee, the greater por-
tion of the United States military forces
situated in those States and to locate them
at other points where the interests of the
Government may require their presence.
1t is learned that there are no troops
now under orders for service in Utah, and
it does not appear that the Department
Immediately contemplates sending any in
addition to the forces of the Government
already serving in proximity to the Nor
mon country
A regiment will soon be stationed along
the Rio Granie, on account of the troubles
in that section. In other parts of the
South they will be gradually withdrawn.
1t is believed that nearly all the KukluX
prisoners, VINO are now in prison, Will be
pardoned within very short time, aud
particularly those of the more Ignorant
class convicted Of crimes of that char
acter The Government will, however,
prosecute vigorously all new instances OF
KukluX prosecutions, and it is very certain
that should additional cases arise, the EX-
ecutive and Department of Justice would
regard with great distavor all appeals for
mercy or leniency. .l -.....
The President approved the bill for eight
war sloops.
The Senatorial caucus to-day showed an
indispositon for an extra session. A COM
mittee was appointed to arrange the order

The Senate bill making appropriations
for public buildings at Parkersburg, West
Virginia, passed.
