Solo- mon Foot, United States Senator from Ver- mont, familiarly and affectionately termed by his colleagues «the Father of the Senate,” died | cognizance of the Bureau. this morning at seven minutes before 8 o'clock, at his lodgings, Mrs. Carter’s, north A street. | Up to the Iast moment bis mind was clear, and j he was in the full possession of his faculties. — Since yesterday morning, when he was at- tacked with hemorrhage of the bowels in ad- dition to the jaundice, with which he was at first afflicted, he has been sinking, and his death was not unexpected. Last night, Dr. Baxter, of Vermont, re- mained with him, as also his wife, his brother, (who arrived here on Friday last from Ver- mont,) his nepbew, and Mrs. Carter and daughter. This morning it was apparent that bis end was near, and he conversed cheerfully With those around his bedside, assuring them that all was well with him, and that he was goimg to join his friends who had gone before. | After taking leave of all in the room, he ex- | pressed a wish to take a last look at the Cap- tol, and requested to be raised in his bed that he might do so. His wishes were at once com- plied with, and just as they had raised him so that his eyes rested on the building he expired. We cavea brief biographical sketch of the deceased yesterday, and referred to the esteem in which he was held by bis fellow mempers. His death bas cast a gloom over Congress and this community, where he was held in high estimation for his many admirable traits of character. At the meeting of the Senate this morning. Mr. Sumner moved an adjournment untl to- morrow, out of respect to the memory of the deceased. referring to bim as “one of our most henored associgtes, and the oldest among us in contin nous ser’ * and the Senate adjourned. THE VETOED BILL. MISCHIEVOUS TE: ‘NCITES—FOLLOWING BAD PRECEDENTS, é&c. The vetoed civil rights bill, by its title, is a bill to guarantee colored persons in their rights. Jt proceeds not to secure their rights to them, but begins with a declaration of citizenship, thus raising a debatable question whether they are citizens or not. A question which,not Con- gress, but the Courts alone can decide. In so domg it proposes to secure Chinese, Indians, Gipsies, &c., in rights of citizenship, and leaves all white aliens to wait five years and then un- dergo an examination as to loyalty, morality, &ec., before they can aequire rights of United States citizenship. After all this, the bill real- ly secures rights to none, and amounts to noth- ing more than a bone of discord and conten. tion—a bundle of mere abstractions thrown in to divide the country. As for the detaiis of the bill, it suflices to say that they are taken by the Republican party ma- jority ot Congress from the hardest and worst experience and practice of the Democratic party, when in power. Fifteen years ago, California and New Mex- ico, both conquered just as the southern States are now said to be, declared themselves loyal, and applied to the Union Whig Administration of Gen. Taylor tor admission into the Union. The Democrats objected, and insisted, as a con- dition of their admission, on the pas:age of the fugitive slave law and a practical denial of the Wilmot proviso. The Democrats suc- ceeded. The conditions of compromise od- tained by the Democratic party divided and distracted the country; the fugitive slave law became odious, because it invaded the freedom of the citizen throughout the United States Finding this to be the result of their unwise labors, the Democrats connived with the slave States, and thus carried the nation with rail- ‘way speed into rebellion and eivil war. The Union party succeeded under Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Johnson, suppressed the civil war. pet an end to anarchy, and eradicated every root of slavery throughout the land The Republican Union party having done this noble work, the President now invites Con- gress to restore and protect the autonomy of the Union. The leaders in Congress object and refuse, and set up conditions which are mere abstractions. They borrow the machin- ery of the odious fugitive slave law to work up those abstractions, and have already but too suceesefully begun the work of discord, disorganization and distraction; arraying the white Inborer against the black laborer, the foreign born against the native citizen, State against State, and inviting the old free States to renew a collision with the Southern States, now become equally free States, and equally devoted to the Union, and equally necessary for its safety and welfare. There is nevertheless a hope and assurance of escape. Keason and judgment, after all, control Stales as well as individuals; and the people are always found competent toexercise that reason and judgment before the nation reaches the point of real danger and alarm ITs THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND ME. BALDWIN, OF Va. JOUN MINOR ROTTS'S VERSION OF IT REVORE THY RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE. ‘The testimony taken by the Reconstruction Committee in regard to Virginia and the Caro- linas, and reported to Congress yesterday, was crowded out of our paper, except the abstract of Gen. Lee's testimony published in our sec- ond edition. Among other interesting matters im the mass of evidence presented, is that in reference to the conference sought for and held by Mr. Lincotn with a member of the Vi: inia secession convention, delegated by the Union members of that body—Mr. John B. Baldwin— prior to the opening of the rebel batteries on Fort Sumter. According to Mr. Baldwin's statement at this interview Mr. Lincoln gave no pledge or promise, and made no offer of any sort. Further onin his ern A he added taat he understood that Mr. Lincoin had given a somewhat different version of the interview, representing that he had offered, if the conven- tion would adjourn sine die, to withdraw the troops trom Sumter and Pickens. “] am as clear,” said Baldwin, «in my recollection as it ‘s poss: bie to be, that he made no such sugges- ton, as I understood it, and said nothing from which I could infer it.” On the other hand, Mr. John Minor Botts’ Yersion of the affair, as it was related to him by Mr. Lincoin, is to the effect that the Pres- ident did offer to evacuate Fort Sumter if the Virgmia Cenvention would adjourn sine die, and this ts substantiated by the evidence of Col. Lewis, of Vi! ‘ = porn ft by the committee :— S perfectly sure, according to your best recollection, that Mir.

Kev. Heary Ward Beecher, in bis last potit. ical lecture, said: —“The kind and patient Mr. Lincoln was ecudgelted and whacked by Con- gress, snd he bore it with a patient spirit, rewinding bim of some horses, who merely act when cudgeiied as though it was to brush flies off.

Reports just received by the Freedmen's Baresu from the Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau im Texas, states that from all sources information comes of encour- aging results from the efforts of the Bureau; complaints are few, while its benefits are frankly acknowledged. Fault-finding and ac- cusation come only from that class of men who are but slowly learning to Tespect law, ne and the rights of man; and who sul- lenly chafe under the control of a Government that curbs and restrains their hitherto unbri- dled wills. The work done during the month of February has given great satisfaction, and the prospects of an abundant harvest continue hopeful. The General says there are no indi- cations of an increase of loyal sentiment in the State, thongh there isa visible abatement in the number and harshness of the cases of out- rage and maltreatment that come under the He says, further, that self-interest has become the ae ally of the Government in promoting harmony be- tween the tworaces. The planter must have the labor of the negro, and he cannot secure it if he treats him with injustice or spleen. The large body of German Le eee of the State, which suffered so much under rebel rule for its devotion to the Union, has, this season, en- tered extensively into the cultivation of co’ ton, and have hired large numbers of free: men. Many, too, of the class known as “poor whites,” in the stimnlating air of freedom, are improving their condition, some of them work- ing as many as twenty hands.

It was claimed by radicals this morning that had the Senate gone into a vote to-day the civil Tights bill eould have been carried over the veto by the requisite majority by a tight squeeze. They admit, however, that the prospect of its passage when it again comes up, which will probably be on Monday next. is dubious indeed, They virtually concede that the strong points of the Presiden- ual veto cannot fail to have their weight with all candid minds, and that every hour's panse lessens the chance of successful resistance to it. [tas certain that no event less impressive than the death of a fellow-member held in such regard as Senator Foot, would hare caused the radicals to fail to take action*upon the veto before its powertul arguments could have time to reach the convicuons of the peo- ple.

Judge Fisher, in passing <entence, addressed Baker as follows: You were indicted by the Grand Inquest for the ceunty of Washington in November inst upon « charge of false imprisonment. The in- dictment found against you contained two counts. The first a count tor the false impris- onment of Mrs. Lucy L. Cobb and detaining her under arrest for some five hours, and until she bad paid you the sum of $200 for her en- Jargement, and the second count for the simple faise imprisonment. To this indictment you pleaded not guilty, and put yourself upon a vary of your country, who upon a fair and im- partial trial, decided by their verdict that you were guilty as charged. im the second count of the indictment and not guilty as charged in the first count. The effee: of this conviction is substantially, as 1 understand it, that you were techically guilty of that offense which is termed false imprisonment denuded of the circumstances of aggravation with which the first count in the indictment sought to investit. Itappeared in the evidence, to my satisfaction ceriamly, and | doubt rot to the satisfaction of the jury who convicted you, that the act with which you were charged, and of which you were convicted, was the result of an honest, though it may have been an ill advised endeavor, m the discharge of your duty as a Government detective, to discover by whom and by what means certain traudu- lent and corrupt practices were carried on against the Government of the United States in ebtaining pardons from the Executive. Whether you were successful in that endeavor 1 know not, nor is it necessary for the purpose of this case that I should. Nor do I desire in any way whatever to intimate any, the slightest snspi- cion that the party arrested was one of those who were engaged in the bad business of obtaining pardons by fraudulent or immoral means, or by any indirection whatever bat after fully and maturely, and [I hope impartially, considering ali the circumsiances of your case, I have come to the conclusion that though you may have been guilty technically of the offense of talse im- prisopment, there is not apparent in it any cir- cumstance of moral turpitude, or of malice, or of such ill-treatment of the party complaining as would warrant me in visiting upon you a heavy pontshment.
