Sznats.—The Senate was not in session to- day. Hovre.—Mr. Pendleton called up his mo- ticn, made yesterday, to reconsider the vote by ' which the House disagreed to the Senate am:ncment to the bill organizing the govern- mntoft Montano. (This amendment provides that free male citizens may vote at the first election in that territory.] r. Pendleton said this was the first time that negroes w-re to be afforded the privilege of voting, contrary to the decision of the Supreme Court. He desired tat the vote be reconsidered. that the House may adhere and thus chow that the House dis- agrees to negroes voting in Montano. Mr. Beaman, of Michigan, briefly replied, saying that the House bad alceady disagreed lu" the Semate amondmont, and therefore the gen'leman’s remarks were in the way of com- ment og the Senate proceedings. There was a want of cons.stency on the part of the gentle- man. He moved that Mr. Perdleton’s motion be Jaid on the table. ‘Thie was agreed to—yeas 63, nays 49. Mr Morris, of Ohio, reported a bill to erect & penitentiary, jail and house of correction in the District of Columbia, which was recom- mee to the Committee for the District of Uo- umbia. Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, offered a resolution which was agreed to, instructing the Com- mittee on the Judiciary to inquire into the ex- } ediency of so amending existing laws in re- Jation to jurors in the Federal Courts, so as to secure fair and impartial trials therein. The House reeumed the consideration of the bill reported from the Committee on Military Aflaiss, declaring the Raritan and Delaware Bay railroads and boats to be postal and mili- tary routes. Mr. Sweat, of Maine, argued against the bill, contending that the report of.the committee ‘Was not justified by the facts or the law in the case, >. ' TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. a FOREIGN NEWS.

C., March 30, 1261. } Hon. Richard Wallach, Mayor, &c.: Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of @ petition signed by several resi- dents, tax-payers of the city otf Washington, acdrested to you, and asking you to con‘er with ‘he proper military anthorities in reapect to the destruction of fences and enclosures around the gardens and farms in the District, from which destruction it is feared that culti- yation will be prevented, and thesup»ly of fruits, weEetanlory and other farm products, will be serfously diminished. = The military force in the District is so con- stituted and commanded that it will not be possible for me to afford the required protec. uuon, guarantees and encouragement by the troops under my command, and whose ser- vices are whol'y emplcyed by their duties in the city. I have therefore trasmittec your communication to the Commanding General of the Department, and recommended that the commanders of forts and regiments located upon orin the immediate vicinity of the gar- dens and farms in the District, ordered to Testrain the troops under their respective com- mands from disturbing or destroying fenc#s, and from all kinds of trespass upon or injury to such farms and gardens, I think the inhabitants should be advised :6 make complaints to the commandaats of the nearest post of every such injury to fences or premiees, and should immediately transmit a duplicate ot their several eomplaints to headquarters. 1 will certairly do all in my power to punish such offenders and to require 4 Juet reparation for the injuries which they ccmmit.
