THE AMENDMENTS OF TIE SENATORIAL CAU- cus, The Senate radical caucus held another ses- sion this morning, and arrived at results which were developed later in the day in various amendments proposed by Mr Howard to House Resolution 127, “ proposing an amend- ment to the Constitction of the United States.” The Resolution as amended in caucus and re- ported by Mr. Howard is as follows: JoiNT RESOLUTION proposing an amendment Mr. Lane, of Kansas, introduced a bill to donate public lands to the several States which may provide agricultural colleges tor the edu- cation of persons of African descent. Referred to Committee oa Public Lanas. Mr. Johnson presented the petition of a cit- izen of Spain for relief from certain excessive importation dues charged to him in the Balti- more custom-houre. The Chair decided that the petition of a for- eigner could sfot be received in the Senate At one o'clock the Casir announced that the regular order was the bill to facilitate com- mercial, postal and military communication between the States. Mr. Howard moved to postpone the regular order and take up the reconstruction resolu- tion. Mr. Hendricks hoped the Senate would take up the special order, which was the Colorado veto. Mr. Chandler moved that the railroad bill be laid over informally The reconstruction resolution was taken up. The question was upon Mr. Johnson's amendment to strike out the tnird section, which disfranchises the late rebels until 1570. Mr. Johnson demanded the yeas and nays, and the third section was stricken out by a unanimous yote—yeas 43, nays none; absent Six. Hovsk —Senate bill to define more clearly the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia was taken up tor con- sideration. On motion of Mr. Woodbridge of Vt., the bill was amended by striking out the first four sections. and the amended bill was thea passed.

Sanders and Roby are the same who entered a law office on G street, occupied by Judge Hughes, we are informed. ‘There they had a lot of goods packed up tor Moving, but were discovered and shot at by officers Bresnahan and Wilson, but made their escape, Roby being somewhat injured by a fall. When Sanders was arrested he prepared for arun, but a pistol presented at his head tied his feet. When secured, he had a razor and fliteen house keys in a pocket in an under- irt. Sanders and Roby lived with a girl on jot between P and Q and 14th and 15th streets. The detectives searched the premises, and found a lot of ladies’ clothing, a silver spoon marked R.H., some stockings marked H., and a flour bucket from which the name had been rubbed off. The parties were examined by Superintendent Richards, who committed them to jail for court. civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer ot any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereot. But Congress may, by a yote of two-thirds of each Houce, remove such disability. Section 4. The obligations of the United States, incurred in suppressing insurrection, or in defense of the Union, or for paymeat of bounties or pensions incident thereto, shall remain inviolate. Section 5. Neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obliga- tion incurred in aid of insurrection or rebel- lion against the United States, or any claim for compensation for the ‘oss or emancipation of any slave; but all such de! obligations and claims shall be forever \d illegal and void. Section 6. The Congress shall baye power to entlorce, by appropriate legislation, the pro- visions of this article.

Burwanger was made aware of the fact, and Saturday afternoon he left the store, but was followed by officer Wal- lingsford in the directidn of the steamboat wharf, where he was lost sight of. Not re- turning at night, inquiry was made for him, but without success. This morning about sun- rise his body was seen floating near the end of one of the wharves, and officers Shell and Wallingstord being informed, they brought the body to the store to await an inguest. The deceased bad on his person a silver watch (which had stopped at20 minutes it one o’clggk) and some small change. He has a bi er and some other relatives living in orgetown, but we believe he came here m Baltimore. He was about 1S years of age. —— ACCIDENT AT THE TREASURY — Yesterday afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, an accident occurred in one of the vaults under the west wing of the Treasury, by which one of the employees was badly scalded and two others slightly. A cylinder in this vault is used as a receiver for the fragments of the canceled notes, where, by the use of an alkali, which is beated by steam, the ink is eradicated and the notes are converted into pulp, which is sub- sequently made into paper. Yesterday, at the hour above named, the commissioners ap- Pointed for the pur} were anxious to see the pulp then in cylinder, and Messrs. Jobn Q. Larmon, the foreman, and two of the employees—Wm. Waller and Wm. Burch— goton the eylinder to take off the man-hele that it might be seen. The man-hgle was lifted, and immediately some of the pulp, with hot water and alkali, was thrown out. Mr Waller slipped and fell, and the hot water saturated his clothes, and he was badly scalded. The fluid striking the hands of the other two. they were also scalded, but only slightly. Mr. Waller was immediately sent to his resi- dence, on F street, above 2th, and Mr. Burch to his residence, on 14th street. Mr. Larmon Was not injured so badly as to necessitate him to stop work. Mr. Barch will be able to be outin a few days, but Mr. Waller will prob- ably not be able to resume work for several weeks. —_e—_—_— Bips OrENEp.—To-day, at noon, posals for grading and gravelling 6th toe be- tween Pa. avenue and G street south, were opened at the Mayor's office, City Hall.
