A Cool Resolution from the Unterrified Minority. Representative Chanler Invites the Ra- dicals to Endorse the President and Denounce Themselves. He Is Cemsured by the House, But Still Defiant. Ree kee ae. Wasuiortox, May 14, 1966. ‘MR. STEWART’S PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION. ‘In the Senate to-day Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, offered a @ubstitute for his formér proposition of universal am- ‘Resty for universal suffrage. The amended bill provides for impartial suffrage, to which the States lately in rebel- Mon are required w give their assent as a condition to ‘Meir roturn to the Union. It excludes from office the President and Vice President of the late so-called con- federacy, members of the Thirty-sixth Congress and heads of Departments who went into the rebellion, and ‘also those who were cruel to Union prisoners. Gn com- plying with these terms the States mentioned are to be admitted and universal amnesty declared. REPRESENTATIVE CHANLER CENSURED BY THE HOUSE FOR ENDORSING THE PRESIDENT AND DE- MOUNCING THE RADICALS. ‘Mr, Chanler, of New York, offered a series of resolu- tieas in the House to-day endorsing the President's policy and course, which, in sbeking ‘to protect, by the ‘veto power, the rights of the people of this Union against the revolutionary acts of a few malignant and mischievous men, meets with the approval of the House, and deserves fhe cordial support of all Joyal citizens of the United ‘Mates ;”” and that “the Freedmen’s Burcau is unnecessary ‘and unconstitutional.” “Before the reading of the reso- Aations was compicted Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, indignantly wese to a point of order, which was that the first resolu- ton was a direct and flagrant insult to the House and should not be entertained. The Speaker decided that the louse must be the judge as to the insult, and did not wostain Mr. Schenck in the point raised. ‘Mr. Sebenck then moved that the resolution bo Fejected, ~which was carried. Mr, Schenck then ‘@fHerod 4 resolution that a vote of censure be passed fog fhe insult offered to the House by Mr. Chanler, upon ‘whieh he demanded the provious question. The House wecanded the demand by a vote of 58 to 30. Upon a metion to lay the resolation on the table Mr. Chanler @tained the floor and made an effort to defend his reso- Iatiens. He contended that no one bat himself know “We motive that prompted him to offer the resolutions, ‘wnd no one could my that he intended to insult the House. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, wisbed him to state to whom he referred when he spoke of “the wicked end revolutionary acts of a fow malignant and muschiev ous men.” Mr. Chanler replied by saying that he re- ferred to overy malignant and mischievous man in the country who opposed the President's veto of the Civil ‘Rights bill, He finally refused to auswer any more questions, and wound up by saying that he would, if he had the power by his vote, crush out the infamous ma- Jerity in that body, and would consign Thad Stevens to ‘the same hell to which he (Thad) would consign five bun- @zed thousand citizens of the Union. The House then passed the resolution of censure by @ vote of 74 to 30. THE TAX BILL. Af three o'clock the House took up the Tax bill and @seussed some unimportant amendments, but upon @oming to a vote it was found a quorum was not present, when it adjourned. The Committee on Ways and Means are busily engaged f= considering additional amendments to the bill, which ‘will be oifered from day to day as the sections are con- sidered. Ii is thought probable that some considerable ad. @itions will be made to the exemption list. Indications ‘mow are that there will be a great deal of opposition to the reduction of the ten per cent income tax, and that ‘this measure will fail in the House. There will also be ‘an Atiempt made to change the tax on cigars from those ‘now proposed by the commitiee to the ad valorem stan- @ard adopted some years ago, which failed to give any Jegitimate revenue. The stringent provisions of the bill welative to distilling will not pass the House without con- widorabie opposition from members who fee! that the bill ap reporied will effectually break down and destroy the eperations of small distillers of applejack and old four. ‘Bon In their districts, The Chairman of the Committee Ropes to get the Dill through the House by the close of ‘the week; but if the House makes no greater progress (@an K has to-day this will not be accomplished. Tt is understood that the tariff bill will not be discussed fm the Ways and Means Committee until the Internal Revenue dif in disposed of. THR CHICAGO APPOINTMENTS qa is known, have been suggested. “Long Joba’ left hero two weeks ago, and has scarcely been heard from Gill to-day, when he telegraphed Trumbull that there was ‘a goveral stampede among the officeholders. They begin to see the handwriting on the wall. KXCITEMENT AMONG THE TREASURY CLERKS, ‘The rumor that about one hundred and fifty clerks will (be discharged from the Trearury Department on the Slat met. ereated quite @ Qutter among the “ins’’ to-day. ‘They will mainly be made on account of the great de- erease in business and consequent lack of employment fer 20 many as heretofore. James Wilson, Third Auditor, left Warhingtow for Cdioago to-day. PUNDING TITK NATIONAL DEBT. My. McCulloch sent to-day to the Senate Finance Vom mittee the draft o a new bill providing for the funding of the national debt mio @ new five per cont consli- Qntes loan CERTIFICATES OF INDERTEDNESS. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has decided to redeem all outstanding certificates of indebtedner and to true ‘mo more in fatare. THE TAX ON NATIONAL BANKA. Officers of the national banks are writing to the Comp. trolier of the Currency from all sections of the country, ‘ering the nesessity of some legisiation of Congress to protect them from the additional shareholder tax im- ported by local authorities, under the recent decision of ghe Sepreme Court, declaring such tax to be permiaibie ‘ender the Currency act. They ever that the inevitable eesak will be the winding up of a large number of the smational banks, if relief ip no! seeured. THE MEROMANTS' NATIONAL BANE ParLoRE.
