KILLED ET LIGHTNING-REMARKABLE FACT.-On
Wednesday, 13th March, James Cloud, a son of
Mi*. James F. Cloud, of this District, was killed by
lightning. It was during the exercises of the
school, while the little boy was just walking up to
tho teacher with slate in hand, that he received
the fatal st*, eke.
Several of the other pupils received severe
shocks ; but one of the most remarkable facts is
that the teacher (a lady whose name we have not
learned,) was badly stunned, the firery fluid burn
in; her breast, ana melting one of her ear-rings.

ICE, SNOW, SLEET AND FROST.-These emissaries
of the Winter Ring have all very lately visited this
section. On Fridav, the 15th, ice was seen. That
same day snow and sice'* fell, a~d on Saturday
morning the ground was white and the trees sil?
vered wi: h the frozen elements. Yesterday (Mon?
day) morning a white frost covered the ground,
and serious apprehension is felt in regard to tho
safety of the fruit crcp.-Ibid.
COHN, CORN, CORN.-Never do we remember to
have seon the trade in corn so vast as it now is.
Cur streets are alive frequently with wagons haul?
ing corn to the country.-J. b ?"d'.
The long spell of rainy weather broke up with a
big freeze on hut Saturday morning, to the great
dismay of all who were looking anxiously for heavy
r3 turns this season from the mit trees. We have
heard, however, very different opinions expressed
as to the resu-t. Some say that che fruit is gone,
and others othorwise. Timo will show. Tho
icicles were thick and heavy, and we saw a good
many limbs broken off by the weight of the ice.
Sunday turned out, though, to bo really a Sun?
day, and we hope the clouds are satisfied for some
time to come.-Orangeburg Times.
RATIONS.-We are highly gratified at being able
to state that the immediate wants of a few of the
sufferers m this vicinity were relieved, yesterday
morning, by the distribution of rations by the
United State- officers at this post. All you that
have surplus provisions, distribute it, for there is
sore need in our very midst.-Phoniec.
Our Court convened on Monday last-Judge
Aldrich presiding with Lis usual ability and
courtes y. Tho judge made amable and eloquent
charge to the Grand Jury, in which ho advised
them to submit with passive obedience to the pow?
ers that be, and to adhere strictly to the orders of
the military authorities in order that confidence
might speedily be restored.-Marion Star.
THE WEATHER-Since our last issue, has been
equally as cold and unpleasant as any that we ex?
perienced during thc mid-winter. Last Friday
morning large snow flakes fell thick and fast. To?
wards noon, it beear:i: colder, the snow ceased, it
be .a'' to rain and fez, and ere sun doun, the
trees and shubbery, though beautiful to behold in
many instances, broko down under their burden of
ice. We have seldom if evor witnessed a moro se?
vere spell of weather at this season of the year, iu
this climate. Doubtless tho fruit crop has becu
seriously injured, but persons of more experience
and observation than wc, think it is musetative of
a good crop. Time-will tell. We hopo it may be
true.
We learn that on Thursday night last Gen. Wil?
liam Evans had two of his finest horses, veiy val?
uable and highly prized animals, a mule, a buggy
and harness, stolen from his stables. OD thu
same night, and no doubt by thc same parties, Mr.
Asa Godbold had a buggy and harness stolen from
his carriage house. Tho thieves made their way
off in the direction of Fayetteville, N. C., and pur?
suit of them was promptly made early on Friday,
but np to tho present ama it is not known whether
they have been overtaken or not.-Marion Orescent.

THE COLUMBUS FACTORY.-The Columbus En?
quirer, of tho 16th, Bays: "It gives us pleasure to
learn that thia cotton factory-located three miles
above the city-has commenced operations, and is
turning out superior work. The thread manufac?
tured there is said to be quito even and fine. We
have not heard that it has yet commenced weav?
ing. May it have a prosperous career of long du?
ration, and prove one of the most useful and
profitabl? of our industrial establishments."
ROHE -The Commercial says: Rome improves
slowly but permanently. There has been seventy
five nous s erected ia the city and suburbs during
tha past twelve mouths. This has been done by
our own citizens, and not from borrowed or for?
eign capital. As our city was damaged but very
little by the Federals, it shows what we may expect
when things become settled and good crops aie
made.

THE FEAST OF ES THEE.
Yesterday, the 13th day of the 12th Jewish month,
Adar (or this being a leap year, of tho 13th month
Veadar), was the fast of Esther; and to-day is
known as Purini, or tho Feast of Esther. The
institution of tho festival is thus chronicled in
Esther ix. 20 :
"And Mordecai wrote these thing?, and sent let?
ters unto all the Jews that were in ail the provinces
of the King Ahasuerus, both nigh and far. To
stablish this among them, that they should kecj?
the 14th day o? the month Adar. and tho loth day
. of tho same yearly. As the da? s wherein thc' J ewe
rested from theirenemies, and the month which
was turn.d unto them from sorrow to joy, and
from mourning into a good day: [ Yom Too, 'good
day,' is the Hebrew expression for festival or holi?
day] that they should mako them days of feasting
and joy, and of sendiug portions one to another
and gifts to the poor. And the Jews uudortook to
do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written
unto them : Because Haman the son of Hammc
datha, tho Agagite, tho enemy ol" all the Jews, had
devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had
cast Pun, that is, tho lot, to consumo them, and to
destroy them. * * * Wherefore they called
these days PURIM, after the name of Pur."
Purim, the name by which thia festival is uni?
versally known, we thus seo, signifies "the feast of
lots," and is the anniversary of national deliver
anco. It has over : cen a season of rejoicing with
the children of Israel, through all the centuries of
their dispersion and persecution. Tho leading
features of the ceremonies connected with its cele
bration are the same everywhere, however it may '
differ in minor details. Tho day preceding Purim, ^
tho fast of Esther, is one of the six regular fast .
days of the Jewish year. It is rigidly observed by j
all the devout and orthodox membors of the con- ?
gregation of Israel, and neither meat nor drink is ,
tasted on that day, from the rising of tho sun
until after tho stars havo become visible to the | j
naked eye. In .tho evening all repair lo the syna?
gogue to hear the minister road the Megillah [tho
Book of Esther], which is read in its original He?
brew, from a parchment scroll, in a chanting reci?
tative. The congregation, with their books before | ^
them, follow tho precentor, repeating certain
versos after him, according to a timo honored cus?
tom.
Next morning [i. e. to-day] thcBO services at tho
Synagogue are again repeated, and the remainder
of tho day is thon spent in rejoicing. Thcro is
not a member, perhaps, anywhere, of the house?
hold of ABRAHAM who on this day sits down to a
poor dinner. This were against his principles.
Jinner partiesjmlls and masquerades aro very
much in vogue on Purim, Mindful of the injunc?
tion of Holy Writ, each sends presents to his
neighbors, whether rich or poor, and with a deli-, g
cacy worthy of all praiso, and of imitation, tho ?
thoughtful and benevolent Jew takes this oppor?
tunity of sending substantial aid to him who is *
loss blessed in this world's goods. On Purim this *
may be dono under the plea of "sending portions
one to another."
In deeds of charity, inactive, thoughtful, cal
culating benevolence, the Jews not only preced- _
ed every other people, but probably still main
tain this pre-eminence. Benevolent sosie JCS for
various purposes date far back into thc Middle .
Ages among many of tho Hebrew congregations ^
?f Central Europo, long before the birth of tho g
much vaunted nineteenth century philanthropy. .
Those charities, both private and public [i.e. ^
through agents or organizations], are looked upon
is mattors of course, and not horalded ?broad as
munificent acts of "princely liberality,"
To tho young people, tho masquerades aro gen- j
3rally tho most attractive part of tho customs con
?ected with Purim. It is the only ? y of the
??oar when all of set pnrposo intent to bo merry g
md gay. "Tho feasting and gladness" aro pro- e
scribed in tho book of ESTHER, but, we think, tho ?
nasquorades are n juper-addition derived t om tho ?
Christian carnival, tho two festivals very frequent
y being syflchror.oun. Masquerades appear to ^
lifer great attractions in time of general rejoicing,
ts witness the carnival in CathoUc Europo, tho ^
laturnalia of Ancient Borne, and the nrniiim?11 - y
Tiiilulaiu, ir. Enr^-^ -?L ^?S, U-^?ure, natural
br the more hilarious of tho younger Jews to on
jraft this custom, copied from the surrounding
tatiana, upon the foast o? ESTHER.
There is a story, we boliove, of a Babbi who was
?o carried away in his zeal for tho proper (?) ob
lervance of Purim, that ho said (but this was long
igo, before Father MATTHEW', and boforethe invon
ion of whiskey,) that persons on Purim should
Lrink until they shall be unable to toll the difference
JO tween tho blessing of ? IORDECAI and tito curse of
IAMAN. But tuis custom, we aro pleased to be
.ble to say, is of thoso more honored in t .o
?reach t aan ia tho observance ; and there is, por
laps, no peoplo on tho globe loss addicted to
trong drink than aro the Jows. Of course thcro
rill bo found individual oxcoptions, but as a rule
mr assertion holds true the world over.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
In tho Senate on Monday the credentials of Hon.
\ F. Thomas, Senator elect from Man land, wore
.resented and a motion was made that bo bc per
?itted to take tho oath of office, i bo credentials
rere then read, and Mr. Howard moved that they
ie referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
long discussion ensued, in which a number ul'
numbers participated, on tho question of Mr.
Phomae' lovaltv to the Union. A full report of
ne debate will be found elsewhere The further
consideration of the subject was finally postponed
until to-day. In the debate, Messrs. Johnson,
rrumbull, ?'essonden and Saulsbury advocated tho
inmediate admission of Mr. Thomas, and wcro op?
posed by Messrs. Howard, Nye, Sherman, Steward
md Conness, who favored the motion to refer. Tho

'urnish to Governor Brownlow, of Tonnesseo, arms
ind equipments for twenty-five hundred militia was

Brownlow wanted these artrs to protect Union men
?rom assassination. Mr. Patterson asked if "reb
2ls" badnotbeen murdered^ Mr. Fowler replied that
'.he hoped so-hoped some of these arms would
bo used for that purpose 1" The ro?olutiou was
idoptod-yeas thirty-five, nays five. Ibo Bill sup?
plementary to the Military Becoustruction Act was
then taken up, the question being on concurring
in th? House amendments tberolo. The first of
the House amendments was adopted, but the sec?
ond, which requires a majority of tho registered
voters to adopt tho Constitution, was disagreed to,
aftor a long discussion, by a vote of yeas twenty
one, nays tweuty-four. Tho Bill now goes buck co
tho House. The Senate then went into executive
session, and at its closo adjourned.
HOUSE OE BEPBESENTATIVES.-The credentials
of Messrs. Ela and StevoLS, Representatives clr-ct
from New Hampshire, were presented and the

rency and to report what guards are necessary to
prevent frauds therein. Tho House then pro?
ceeded to the consideration of tho Se.iate subs-ti

pr?vido for tho more efficient governmont of
the Southern States. Tho following amendments
were adopted: an amendment requiring all persons
before being registered to take oath that they have

or held auy judicial offico in uny State and after?
wards engaged in war against tho Federal Gov?
ernment; an amendment recognizing tho ratifica?
tion of a constitution when it shall have received a
majority of tho votes of qualified registered
electors; and an amendment making it perjury
to falsely subscribe to any oath prescribed

FSPECIAL COEEESPONT-ENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS ")
WASHINGTON, March 18th, 18G7.-There has been
no debate in the Senate, where alone of the two
branches of Congress, tho ethics of party finesse
is studied with any depth that has brought in
such plain relief tho petty dissensions rankling in
tho Radical breast, as tho discussion of Saturday
upon tho Supplementary Reconstruction Bill. It
look until tho toll of midnight to gee a vote and
pass thc Bill, notwithstanding there were only two
Democrats present during the evening session.
Tho quibble was wholly confined to tho Republi?
can side of tho chamber, and, in fact, the entire
proceeding had more the air of a Radical caucus
than aught concerning cons?mate statesmanship.
Thc fight was mainly waged between SUMNER, NYE,
DnAKE and HOWARD, on the one sido, and TBUM
BULL. MOUTON, WILSON and FESSEKDEN, on the
ather hand.
Neither HOWARD or NYE could see any reason
for haste in declaring an ultimatum looking to
anal requirements of the Southern States, and
promising admittance to Congress whenever the
otter of such propositions had been complied
?vith. Notwithstanding tho fact of its being plain
y evident that he wa3 ready for no definite recon?
structive aciion, HOWABD became quite indignant
it Mr. TRUMBULL for speaking of him as an enemy
af the Bill under discussion, and demanded with
io little heat, " By what authority does the Sena
or from Hlinois assert that I am an enemy of this
Jill?" and when TBUMBULL proceeded to show in
J is arrogant, biting way, how tho nervous old
ilichigander was nothiner, if not opposed to every
:onceivable form of legislation that could come up.
?OWABD was too lull for utteranco, and hobbled
iff lo a retiring room looking very red and
holeric.
As for HENEY WILSON, SUMNER'S colleague, ho
/as fairly chiven "beside himself' by some cold
ilooded remarks of NTE, who persistently nettled
'the cobbler," until it was not in the nature even
t a long-suffering, recently converted proselyte to
ho paths of peace, to stand more, and so WILSON
lured up, and then, astonished at his own heat,
ndouvored to retract-was met 1-7 another succes
ion of taunts from NYE and DRAKE-which again
trove him to anger and ?oyal utterance. Being a
aan of simple craft, loss of temper invariably suf
icos to draw from WILSON confessions of con?
dones, from which, in his own cooler moments,
0 shrinks abashed, and not unfrequently utterly
isclaims. And so it was in tho j resent instance.
?tung by tho castigation administered by NYE,
VTLSON gavo impetuous vent to a series of
iroguoslications, to the effect that delay in
construction was fraught with danger to
he country, but cspoeially to the Radical
arty. The pcoplo, he said, demanded re
onstruction 0 n pome basis, and tho Radicals
ould not r 0 into the Presiden tal canvass in the
ear to como-four years after the war ended-and
cknowlcdgo their failuro to reconstruct the Gov
rnment by keeping the South out. If they failed
1 their duty, tho country would find leaders who
id not. WILSON continued to contend that che
outh would go heartily into the movement about
J> bo inaugurated under the Bill and chat che Rad?
ials had a fair show for controlling ail the States,
avo Virginia. Ho was confident of South Carolina
ud Louisiana, and rebuked SUMNER for haggling
ver minor points when the great object of bring
ig in those States with Radical Senators was
?thin their grasp.
Tho next sensational feature of the debate was
UMNER'S impassioned remark-unwittingly utter
(1, it is true-in which ho dono u: iced the S catos
bout to be constructed under tho Bill os "born of
lie bayonet." Soveral Senators sprang co their foot
pon tho conclusion of the spooch, and were about
7 take tho immaculate gentleman from the "Hub*'
jveroly to cask for such libel upon their party in
jgritv, but fortunately BUCKALEW, che cool, well
eTbca I'eunsyn ania senator, was awuruea tno
oor, and tacceeded in making a striking and
ilroit uso of Mr. SUMNER'S characterization, osten
ibly in that learned gentleman's defence, against
10 ovident ill-feeling of his colleagues on the
thor sido of tho Chamber. SUMNER, he claimed,
as tho pioneer of. his party*, advocating a policy
>r which he was ever denounced one
ear by his friends, only to seo them support
t the next by their votes. He averred that SUM?
ER was perfectly correct in characterizing these
tacos as '-born of the bayonet." Civil authority
id exist there. It protected life. It regulated
roperly; it performed fully all the functions of
overnmect-BB fully as elsewhere. Now, military
uthority was reared above tho civil. Neither pro
orly, nor liberty, nor lifo wero secure, savo by the
ermit of a soldior; and this seato of things was to
?dst until conditions were acted upon by tho
outh which were extremely repulsive, and could
cly bo extorted by power. Verily, this 'was the
ffspring of the bayonet, os admitted by Mr.
U1TSEB.
The Bill was then pass ed, and now goes to tho1
[ouse for the appointment of a committee of con
?ieuco to consider the real nut ol' disagreement,
hijh is, whether a majority of all registered votes,
r of all tho votes cast at an election, shall be re
uBite to ratify the Constitutions that may bo
dopced. VIDEX.
Our ?New York Letter.
[FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.]
NEW YORK, March 18.-St. Patri ;k's Day in the
loriiihg-and in the afternoon-was unduly cele
ratod yesterday by ono of the heaviest snow
torms we have experienced thia season, and in no
thor manner, except in tho churches, for as it
ill on Sunday-as did the snow-and as tho excise
lw forbids indulgence in tho national beverage on
hat day, all of tho festivities were postponed till
o-day. To-day, howovor, will duo honors bo dono
0 Ireland's Saint in a grand civic and military dis?
play, in a grand banquet at the Astor Houso, in a
;rand banquet at Dclmonico's, and in spoeohes,
larties, bulls, whiskoy-punch-imbibings, and a
1 ipping, in more senses than one, of tho light fan
ostic Irish toe. The religious portion of tho cele
iration yosterday was particularly imposing, and
n the Church of Immaculate Conception a most
leautiful and appropriate discourse was delivered
>y Archbishop MCCLUSKEY. Tho members of the
Temperance Society, who aro also members of the
hurch, wore the regalia of the order, and the
liscourse was listened to with the marked atten
ion it merited. The procession to-day will be
i much moro imposing display than any similar
mo on any formor occasion, and tho Archbishop
rill ride at tho head thereof in compliance with
ho invitation tendered by tho va; ions associations.
Che late news received from Ireland will tond to
?oighten the interest of tho entiro colobration, and
ho Fenians will enjoy tho festivities ae they have
lever enjoyed them before. People who are neither
irishmen nor Fenians are beginning lo feel and
ixprcss souio sympathy for the Green-above-che
Lted cause, and T?o far as sympathy alono will go
?ho Feniai^star here may bo said to be in the as
?ondoncy.*
Arrangements have been made hero by the fire?
men who had purchased tho engine intended to be
presented to then* brethren in Columbia, to replace
tho ono which was lost on the ill-fated steamer
Andalusia. The engine will be ready in about two
wrecks, and will bo sent to Columbia without delay.
The regular annual ball of tho Purim Association
will he given at the Academy of Music on thc 28th
inst. This is always the most magnificent masked
and laney dress ball of the season; but arrange?
ments havo been made that will render this one
particularly gorgeous and brilliant. Gold and
silver medals will bo awurdod to such ladies and
gentlemen as may bo distinguished for the ologanco
and originality of their costumes, and for these
medals will thousands of the lords and ladies of
fashion contend. Thc tickels are placed at ton
dollars each, admitting a gentleman and two
ladies; but your correspondent will appear in the
character of a dead-head subscriber, thanks to the
courtesy of the president of the association, who
has presented him with a complimentary cord of
admission. It is probable that from three to four
thousand ladies and gentlemen will attend the ball
this ye ir.
Tho Herald, though often the exponent of public
opinion here, is not always so. In the matter of
the passage of thc hill by the State Legislature
authorizing ;he contraction of an ou-.he-grouiu.
railway to nm through Broadway, the Herald or
poses the measure and hopes that it will bo vetoed
by Governor FENTON ; but so far as I can judge
the public looks upon it as a good move that can
result in injury to none but tho stockholders of the
Third Avenue Railroad Company. The old idea,
that a railroad through Broadway would spoil the
beauty of this thoroughfare has been exploded
long ago, and nine-tenths of the people here would
prefer riding up Broadway in a car than through
any of tho other Avenues, or in the old-fashioned
stages that charge ten cents instead of six, and
crawl along at a snail's paco into the bargain.
Thc bridge across Broadway, at the comer of
Fulton street, will soon bo completed-probably in
about ten days hence-and, no doubt, in the course
of a year at least a half dozen more will be con?
structed at other points ; meanwhile at this point,
always the most crowded spot rn tho city, there is
always a perfect jam caused hy the gaping crowd
of idle lookers-on who seem to have naught to do
but to inspect the public works without receiving
any compensation for their trouble.

Tne Reconstruction Debate in til o United
State? Senate. 1
[From the National Intelligencer.)
The Supplemental Reconstruction Bill was taken i
up in the Senate on Saturday, a little before 2, and |
occupied that body till midnight. Tho BUI, as rc- 1
Sorted by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, I
iffered but slightly from that which passed tho 5
House. The oath was modified so as to exclude -<
tho phrase "sincerely attached to the Govern- i
ment," and some other unessential amendments 1
were offered. The debate in the Senate took a i
wide sweep, embracing tho whole question of re?
construction. A number of amendments were i
offered and rejected. The question which elicited
the warmest discussion was wincher tho vote
which ratified the Constitution should bo one re?
quiring a majority of all the registered voters or t
of all the votes 'ase. Tho House Bill requires tho ?
former, as did the Bill of the Judiciary Comm itt oe-, ;
in the estimation of some of the members, bat not i
in that of others, and several votes were bad upon .
it, and any quantity of debate.
The alterations finally made wore by modifying
tho form of the oath, and by inserting the third ,
section, which provides for a vote being taken at <
the election for delegates for and against tho con?
vention, yhich shall not be held ii a majority op?
pose it, or if a majority of the registorod voters j
fail to vote upon tho question. The same provi- 1
sion, requiring one-half the registered voters, is
applied to the ratification.
Mr. Howard's amendment respecting tho oath
specifies the condition of disfranchisement, in?
stead of referring in general terms to the Act of ,
March 2d. This elicited a warm discussion, which
developed a marked diversity of opinion. Some *
srentlcmen thought the oath of but little conse- 1
queuce. Some thought it unfair to ask a mau to :
?wear to that to which you could apply no test, ?
such as a feeling of attachment to the Union. Some .
thought rebels would not be deterred ly oaths,
and a lew agreed with Mr. Sumner in thinking 1
that the terms were not harsh enough. He wanter <
the affiant to swear to the insolubility of the
Union; that he would hot countenance the Con?
federate debt, but uphold the national, and opposo
all discrimination of rights in regard to color. Mr.
Howard's amendment was lost in committee, but
adopted in the Senate.
The question that was most persistently debated
was, whether a majority of the r gisterod voters -
or of thc votes cost should bo sufficient to call a i
convention and ratify tho constitution. Messrs. j
Howard, Sumner, N)6, Fessjndon and Conkling ,
contended for tho former. The speechos of
Messrs. Howard and Nye wore especially bitter 1
against rebels. Accordingly to their statements, :
the Southern people are not fit to live in a ropub- "\
hean country, or, indeed, any other. They are t
unworthy ol trust, full of hostility to the Union {
and free institutions, and are only kept from uni?
versal massacre mer of tbe negroes by Federal 1
Boir1frro,rfemutfto7j^ -i
Both thought the negroes too ignorant aud too
slavish to bo trusted to vote against their masters. ]
Mr. Howard, too, hod a great horror of minority
governments. Strange to say, he protested
agaiust a negro government, and was apprehen?
sive that these contumacious rebels would stay
away from tho polls and leave tho poor blacks, 1
who required guardians and aro unfit for self- -
government, to make a negro government, t
Mr. Nye was afraid tho masters wo old keep t
their late slaves in leading strings, and so early
reconstruction would be simply restoring rebels to
power. So that both are, in fact, opposed to any
focon traction for some time to como, though Mr. "
Howard became quito indignant at Mr. Trumbull
for speaking of him as an enemy of tho Bill, and <
demanded with no little heat, " By what authority ]
does the Senator from Illinois assert that I am an j
enemy of the Billi"' and when Mr. Trumbull show?
ed why he was, took the chairman of Judiciary
uomuiittee to task, lecturing him vehemently, prc?
claimed his independence, and announced with
moro force than modesty that ho "recognized no
superior, aud would submit to no dictator." Tho J
very temper of the gentleman showed tho truth of I
the charge. So, too. Mr. Nye flared up at a re?
mark of Mr. Wilson's about charging him with j
demasoguism. by appealing to the passions en?
gendered by tho war, instead of pouring oil on the
waters, the Senator from Nevada proceeded to put 1
on the cap by indulging in the very strain of talk
which validated the charge.
Mr. FoBsenden had considerable to Bay about t
leaving the people of the South to their own
choice. He was unwilling to compel them into the
Union. Ho was in favor of the military bill puro
and simple, and did not want ic clogged with any
terms ot' reconstruction. He wanted them to have 1
no chance of saying they were forced in, but .is
they took their own way ( ut, ho would havo them t
take their own way bark, and let Congross say
whether they would "recognize that way or not. He
was- perfectly willing to defend that position be?
fore his own constituency or any other, aud did
not share the apprehension of Mr. Morton and
others that tho nation would tire of tho delay.
Mr. Conkling made a couple of very forcible
speeches, one especially, insisting that the people
of the South should be bound by tho work dene,
and unless a majority of them voted, they might ?
repudiate it os the act of the nunority. ' 1
Du i he other band, tho proposition was shown (
up very thoroughly. by Messrs. Wilson, Morton,
Trumbull and Brake. The two former insisted
that delay of reconstruction wns fraught with '
danger to tho country, but especially to tho Radi- i
cal party. Tho people demanded reconstruction, i
and Mr. Morton pertinently suggested that the
Radicals could noe go into tho Presidential can?
vass next year, four years atlcr tho war was
anded, and acknowledge their failure to recon- ,.
struct the Government by keeping tho South out.
If they failed in their duty, tho country would
find leaders who didn't. Mr. Wilson couteuded 1
that tho South w?*?d go heartily into this \
movement, and that tho Radica s had a fair t
show for controlling all the States exci'-pt. .
Virginia. Ho was confident of South Carolina
and Louisiana, and rebuked his colleague
for haggling over minor points whon the '
great object of bringing in tho South wita Radi?
cal Senators was in their grasp. Mr. Fowler in?
terrupted to ask a question. But it was moro than
tho Massachusetts Senator could stand. Ho warm- t
jy assured hun that he wa? tho last man who i
dhouidbb found making any opposition to this j
policy, for ho (Mr. Wilson) had fought this san e
fight and had to meet the samo arguments to get
lum (Mr. Fowler) into tho Senate. It was crush?
ing. Mr. Fowler stood convicted and no longer in- ^
corrupted tho impetuous flqw of tho gentleman's .
roaeato prognostications. That part of Mr. Wil?
son's speech relating to welcoming the South was 1
very flue, but Mr. -Nye's subsequent partisan ap?
peal drove h.rn into stating that ne d.d not mean i
rebels, but negroes and loyalists. The argument ]
thal to require a majority of the regis-ored voters
to count the absentees ought to be conclusive.
Mr. Trumbull had groat difficulty in hooping
his friends from loading down tue Bill with amend- ;
meuts relating to the details, and twico thoy were
tacked on, but removed on reconsideration. He
insisted that the whole question of detail was left
to tho commanding general, who mr.st devise and
employ his own machinery. He can uso the oxist- ,
iug election laws, adap.ing them to the changos 1
required by the act of Congress, but ho protested
repeatedly igainst any effort to convert this into :
an election law. declaring that, if that was the in?
tention of th3 Senate, the Bill must be referred,
and ampio timo be giveu to the committee.
Perhaps tho most interesting part of the diB- :
cussion grew out of the proposition of Mr. Sum- ,
-er to require each Stato to establish and main?
tain a system of common schools. It was contended
by the Senator that they had power to lay down
any conditions of reconstructs J they thought
wisc, aud that auftrage without knowledge was .
bootless, and ho read u classic eulogy on educa?
tion. In tho course of his remarks kb dcuoujicod
tho States to be created under this bill as "born of
the bayonet." This expression seemed particularly
obnoxious to his friouds-we suppose because they
secretly acknowledged its truth. Several Senators
sprang to their feet on tho conclusion of his
Bpeech, and Mr. Frelinghuysen was recognized.
He protested against such an idea going forth to
tho country. It was grossly unjust, and the gentle?
man ingeniously sought to evade its force by ex
Elaining that the governments to be creatod would
e the work of the people.
Mr. Conness scornfully disclaimed it, and re?
minded the Senator that California sprang into
the Union from a military ordor, but he forgot to
stato that California bad no conditions affixed t^
her corni g, with the alternativo of accepting them
or being kept under the bayouot.
Mr. stewart protested against any man's voting
fur a Bili and denounci g il. ti? would vote
against a Bill or he would dcie.ul it, uoid he cuiimed
t.?it it was grossly unfair to d.inou..ce a measure
a. d go t o credit iur standing on a higher eleva?
tion 'than others, w?ile really supnurting it wich
bis vote. They would be met on thc stump with
this speech of tho Senator, and it was unjust to
his friends.
Mr. Hendricks denied the power of Congress to
institute governments for the South, or to pre?
scribe any other condition than those imposed by
the Constitution. He very briefly, but forcibly
and conclusively, destroyed all the foundation of
Mr. Sumner's ai-gument on the power of Congress
to prescribe governments for the S?rth, which he
derived from necessity, from military govern?
ments, and from that clause in the Constitution
guaranteeing a republican government. Necessity
knows no law, but we were governed by a Consti?
tution, and have no powers save what were con?
ferred. There is no war, and the gentleman
knows it. There was no excuse, then, for appeal?
ing to tho war power; but if thore was, that did not
justify such interference with the rights of Ameri?
can citizens. Governments already existed in the
South; they are republican in form, and there is
not the shadow of an excuse for congressional in?
terference.
Mr. Buckalow made a very striking and adroit
argument, ostensibly in defence of Mr. Sumner,
who, he claimed, was the pioneer of the party, ad?
vocating a policy for which ho was denounced this
year by his friends, only to support it the next by
their votes. He claimed, too, that the Senator was
perfectly correct in characterizing these States as
born of the bayonet. Civil authority did exist
there. It protected life. It regulated rroperty; it
performed fully all the functions of governmen.
as fully as elsewhere. Now military authority was
reared above the civil. Neither property nor lib?
erty nor Ufo were secure, save by the permit of a
soldier; and thia state of things was to exist until
conditions were acted upon Dy the South which
were extremely repulsive, and could only be ex?
torted by power.
Mr. Sumner's proposition was lr.st by a tie vote.
Ono point of this debato ?re must reserve, as we
bavo not space to do it justice. "We refer to the
question whether Congress is committed at all to a
pl"n of reconstruction by the act of March 2d of
the last Congress. On this the difference of opin?
ion was very decided.
The bill now coes to the House, and it is difficult
ko sa in what shape it will come out, and there is
i> marked difference between the two Houses on the
question whether a majority of all tho registered
rotors, or of all the votes cast at the election, shall

FBOST AND IOE.-On Sunday morning there was
ice and a thin frozen crust on lat'dy ploughed

?hero was a heavy white frost. No doubt some of
;he fruit was killed, and more of it injured-but
ve still hope that there will be a sufficiency of the
jnrly-blooming fruit, such as peaches and plums.
Ct is hardly probable that the apple crop has yet

tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough
trial of the American Polygrade Lead Pencils, man
ulacluredby tho Amorican Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I find them superior to any pencil in use, even to
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil,
being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead
pencil.
These pencils are very finely graded and have a very
smooth lead; even the sottest pencils hold the point web;
thoy are all that can bo desired in a pencil. It gives'me
