The mistake oi Congress was in its delays. The President sinned by acts of com- mi , Congress sinned by acis of omission At first Congress refused to enfranchise the blacks. But after a while it established u: versal euffrage. 1t then attempted to keep rebels out of office in the South, but did it so that the Attorney (yeneral could set their work aside by an opinion. He (Mr. Sumner) advo- cated the exclusion of rebels frum participa- tion in the work of iorming the new govern- ments. He could not doubt, he said, that col- ored Senators and Kepresentatives wouldsoon be welcomed into the Capitol. He advocated the requirement of universal education as a ion of the rebel States. as an amendment, a section requiring the esfbitsnment of asys- tem of public schools in the rebel States tree to all, without relation to race or color. ‘Mr. Trumbull raised the point that theabove ‘was not im order under the resolution of Friday.

Mr. Sumner said the effect of this would be toexclude men who went into the rebellion from the military and naval academies.

The Honuee refused to second the previous question—36 to S4. Mr. Pike then offered his amendment, sub- atituting 13th November for 16th October. Mr. Spalding moved as a substitute a con- current resolution similar to that uader which thts session is heid. ‘Mr. Schenck made the point of order on Mr. Spalding’s substitute, that it was not in ac- cofdance with parhamentary law or the Con- stitution; and, at the request of the Speaxer, stated we at some length.

Mr Paine offered a preamble and resola- tion, reciting that Mr. George D.

Agreed to, after some discussion. The House resumed the consideration of the bill for the relief of reputed deserters, which ‘was up yesterday. 1t provides that no soldier or sailor shail be taken to bea deserter from the army or navy who faithfully served the prescribed period of his enlistment on the 19th of April, 1865, and who, without proper au- thority or leave firet obtained, quit his com- mand alter the surrender of Lee and Johnston. ‘The bill was passed. On motion of Mr. Phelpe, the Committee of Commerce was instructed to inquire into the causes of the decline of the ship-buildtng in- terest in America, how far such depression is attributable to Congressional enactment, and bow far it may be remedied by legislation, Mr. Scofield sent up to the Clerk's desk. and had read, a letter from Professor Agas: it acterizing 48 a villainous calumny the n paper paragraph attributing certain views to wm in reference to the negro race Mr. Stevens, Pa.. offered a resolution direct- ing the Judiciary Committee to report at this session the evidence relative to the impeach- ment; and moved the previous question. The Houee refused to second the previous question; and Mr. Wilson (lows) moved as a substitute thatthe Judiciary Committee have authority to have printed the usual number of cepies of the testimony (1,550) in time to be laid on the desks of members the first ot next session; and then moved the previous question. The previons question was seconded, and ths main question was ordered—yeas #4, nays 5. Mr. Stevens, remarking that after the vote taken be was willing to abandon the matter, moved to jay the resolution and amendment on the table. Agreed to. At the evening seesion, held to receive a message trom the Senate, the reconstruction bill was read, and debated at some length. Mr. Schenck said he had not had any chance of pete on the original bill, ‘and that he did feel a little malicious eatiefaction in occu- pying enough time now to say that it might be just as well to sleep on this bill, let it be print- ed, referred to the Judiciary Committee, and taken up to-morrow. Mr. Butler also spoxe against immediate ac- tion on the bill. 1t was the most important legislation had since the adoption of the Con- stitution. The last bill was ed so hastily that the Attorney General discovered great omissions in it; and, in the judgment of some of the best Inwyers of the country, the Attor- ney General was right in his opinion. He therefore deprecated haste in passing this measure. Mr. Shellabarger favored the sending of the whole subject to a committee of conference, as it would have to come to that atlast. He would be greatly pleased to see a more compact and congraous bill. He -hoped, therefore, the House would non-concur in the Senateamend- ment and ask for a committee of conference. Mr. Farnsworth said he was not prepared to commit the whole of this important meas- ure to a committesof conference, and preferred its reference to the Committee on Reconstruc- tion, and to have action on it by the House. Mr. Dawes saw in the two bills only a dif- ference of phraseology, except the omission in the Senate bill of the section imposing penal- ties on persons obstructing the execution of the law. There was no difference in principle except in regard to that section, and, there- fore, he felt inclined to favor the proposition of Mr. Shellabarger to non-concur, and send the bill to a committee of conference, where the difference of phraseology could be settled. Mr. Scofield wanted the bill sent to an committee but 8 committee of comference. Ail the blundering legislation that went through Congress; came through that great hole. [Laughter.} . Mr. Farnsworth moved the previous ques- tion on hia motion to refer the bill and amend- Ment to the Committee on Reconstruction. The previous question was seconded, and the motion was agreed to, 74 to 49. So the bill and amendment were referred to the Committee on Reconstruction, and ordered to be printed. The House then, at quarter past nine, ad- journed. MARYLAND ConsTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. The proceedings of the Convention at Annapo- lis yesterday were devoid of interest. A reso- lution providing for the meeting of the Con- vention at 9 A. M. hereafter was adopted. The Consideration of the reporton the Legislative Department was resumed. The section pre- venting tbe Legislature from p8ying private claims until they have been examined and re- ported on by the State Comptroller, and the section providing for a general incorporation Jaw, and beg lied the aan to Chere tions by special acts, Were each de- bate and finally passed.

The eonstitation commences with the fel- lowing preambie: Whereas, by the War Society is once more resolved into its original ele- ments, and in the reconstruction of oar Gov- ernment we again stand face to face with the broad question of natural right 1 associa- tions based on special claims for special classes are too narrow and partial for the hour: there- fore, from the baptism of this second revol tion, purified and exalted through suffe: ing, seeing with a Dolier vision that the peace, prosperity, and perpetuity of the Republic Tests on equal rights to all, we to-day bury the woman in the citizen. Article 1 proVides that the association shall be known as “The Equal Rights Association” ef the District of Columbia, auxiliary to American Equal Rights Association. Article 2, that the object shall be to secure equal rights to all American citizens, especially the right of suffrage, irrespective of race, color, or sex. Article 3,that any pereon who consents to the principles of the association, and contributes one dollar, may be a member, entitled to speak and vote inthe meetings. Article 4 provides for the officers and the appointment of an ex- ecutive committee; and the remainder of the constitution prescribes the duties of the officers and committee. ‘When the report had been read, Miss Hall said she did not like the term “bury” in the preamble. Mr. Holmes suggested that another word be substituted. Miss Hall was understood to say that, even it women were citizens, they would still be ‘women. Mrs. Winsiow remarked that they had to have women and he would suggest that they should not be buried. On motion of Mr. Holmes, the articles of the constitution were censidered seriatim. ‘When the third article was under considera- tion, Mr. Holmes {ssid that there were many persons who would like to join the association and were not able to pay, and he moved to strike out the words “one dollar.” Mre. Grim: I second the motion. The motion was adopted. Mizs Hall.—is it adopted! I wished to offer an amendment te the amendment but did not have a chance. Miss Hall moved to insert the word “an- nually,” i the article; which was d to. After the adoptien of the last article of the copstitution— ‘Miss Hall said—Is that all? We should ha: more of it. 1 don’t believe in human perfec- tion, and am opposed to giving a committee so much power &s this constitution confers on at. Mr. Needham suggested that Mies Hall be one of the executive committee. Miss Hall said that she did not object to the number propesed, but to everything being left intheir hands. She did not believe that they could find five persons so perfect, to whom the Society should leave its business. Mr. J.Sayles Brown remarked that, although not a member, he would snggest that the constitution did not restriet the association from meeting when they thought it neces- sary. Mr. Needham proposed an additional article roviding fer quarterly meetings on the first londay in July, &c. Mr. Brown asked if they were going to pro- vide for a meeting they did not want. He thought that Miss Hall was laboring under a misapprehension. She seemed to think that the executive committee would have the cor trol of the association, but that is not the case; that committee would be subordinate to the association. The meetings could be held four times per week if the association thought proper; and it was the duty of the committee to procure speakers, prepare business, &<., for those meetings. ‘Mr. Needham moved the adoption of the pre- amble. which was agreed to. Mr. Holmes moved that it be recommitted for revision; he thought Miss Hall's criticism was just. Mr. Winslow said that be would not like to beur it said that he belonged to a burial corps. Mr. Needham moved tbat the preamble be reterred to Mr. Holmer. Mrs Holmes moved that Mrs. Griffing be adaed to the committee. Mr. Holmes declined to serve. Mr. Needham.—So will 1, as one of the orig- inal committee. Mre. Griffing, Mr. Brown, and Miss Hal) were appointed. Mr. Brown declined, because he was not a member. Mrs. Dr. Winslow was appointed in place of Mr. Brown. ‘The election of officers being in order—Mr. Holmes nominated Senator S. C. Pomerey, ot Kansas, for president, and he was unanimous. ly elected. Mr. Needbam moved the appointment of a committee to nominate the other officers, which ‘was agreed to,and Mrs Griffing, Mr. Wins- low, Miss L.S. Hall, Mr. Holmes and Miss O'Brien were appointed. While the committee were engaged in mak- ing up a list a recess was taken, and the mem- bers engaged in social converse. The committee reported the following list:— Vice Presidents, Hon. G. W. Juilian, Mrs. Jo- sepbine Grifing, Mrs. Clara Barton, Mrs. Dr, ‘Winsiow; ‘ding Secretary, Geo. F. Need- ham; Uorresponding Secretary, Mrs. Julia A. Archibald Heimes; Executive Committee, Mra. Josephine Griffing, Mr. John H. Crane, Mr. James H. Holmes, Miss L.S. Hall, Mrs. J. A. Archibald Holmes. Mrs. Holmes asked that a name be inserted in place of her own, and Dr. Breed’s was sub- stituted. Mr. Needham moved that Mrs. Josephine Slade (colored) be one of the executive com- mitiee in place of Dr. Breed; which was agreed to. Mr. Needham said that he was sorry that the committee bad not placed more of the colored element on the list, and he stated that as he was anxious to see these people brought forward, he intended to resign his positien as soon asthe proper colored person presented himeelf. After some farther unim} at business bad been transacted, the meeting adjourned. ——.——_ THE ACCIDENT Y ROTEBRDAY.— We mentioned yesterday the accidental death of Festus Lee, acolored boy, by being run over by acart.
