WASHINGT Pad “ Passage of the Reconstruction Bil Presentation of the Roger Sherman Watch to Lieutenant ‘General Sherman Wasu:xoron, Jan. 21, 1968, ) 11:30 0'Ciock FM. 5 The Reconstruction Bill. ‘The Reoenstruction bill was taken up in the Houze ‘Weis morning, when Mr. Butler moved to reconsider the ‘Vote ordering the main question, in order that he might ‘@Mer his amendment giving the appointment of state ‘@ficers to the Constitutional Conventions, The vote ‘was reconsidered, Mr, Butler's amendment was rejected ‘and the bill was then passed by yeas 123, nays The fate of the bill in the Senate is considered ex- tremely doubtful as regards its entirety. Several promi- ‘nent Senators are known to be.opposed to the measure 4m some material points, and these, it Is thought, will Jead to amendments which will change many of the aspects of she bill, It is eald that an effort will be made ‘to engraft into it the amendment attempted by Mr, Butler today, If the bill comes back to the House in this shape, if not e@therwise altered, the result will bes division of har- mony. In tho House the opposition to the amendment to-day was on account of the power it gave to small bodies of men inexperienced io legislation to prescribe ®@ policy of administration which Congress considers @ prerogative appertaining solely to iwelf. Although these conventions receive the endorsement of \the radi- als, the latter do not seem to entertain a very high re- gard for their efforts to carry out the progamm down for thom, The Active Force of the Army. The passage of the Military Reconstruction bill by the House to-day leads toa very natural inquiry as to the Present disposition and number of the troops somprising the active army of the United States. The following statement shows this by departments and in a concise form: In the unreconstructed States—First Military District, General J. M. Schofield, twelve posta and thirty-two sompanies; Second District, General E. R, 8. Canby, ‘wenty-tnree posts, thirty-five companies; Third Dis- trict, General George G, Meade, twenty-two posts, forty- eight companies; Fourth District, Genetal Alvin ©. Gil- Jem (temporarily), twenty-five posts, forty-four com- panies; and the Fifth District, General W. 8, Hancock, fifty-three posts and one hundred and four companies, making a total of one hundred and thirty-five posts and two bundred and sixty-three companies. Averaging @ach company at seventy men gives a forse of over eighteen thousand. In the other departments the following list comp rises the force of the East;—General T, W. Sherman, seven. teen posts and thirty companies; Washington, General W. H. Emory, four posts, twenty-seven companids; California, General E. 0, C, Ord. assigned thirty-one Posts, Aifty-two companies; Dakota, General A. H. Terry, Afteen posts, forty companies; the Cumberland, General George H. Thomas, seventeen posis, thirty companies; the lakes, Genera! Joha Pope, five posts, eight compa- nies; the Platte, General ©. C, Augur, Sfteen posts, eixty-three compan! Missouri, Genera! P. H, Sheri- dan, twenty-seven posts, seventy-eight companies; and of the Columbia, General L, H. Rousseau, sixteen posts and twenty-two companies, Total, one hundred and forty. nies—about twenty-five ‘thousand grand total of forty-three thousand. Protection of American Citizens Abroad. The Commitiee on Foreign Aflairs of ine House, it is stated, will not take any official action in reiation to the Tecent arrests of American citizens by the British au- ‘shorities until something definite is known as to the im- mediate cause of such arrests, The prevailing opinion of members of Congress astumes similar grounds for de- Jay. Unless some enthusiastic advocate of the duly of ‘the American government to protect its citizens wher- ever they may be, so longas they violute no local law, sees fit to spring the subject upon Coagress, the ofticial account of the whole affair to the Department of Stale ‘Will be awaited. The New Internal Tax Bill. The Committee on Ways and Means to-day bad under consideration that part of thy w Internal Tax bill re- lating to manufactures, While it 1s certain they will recommend that taxes generally be taken off mauufac- tures, there is evidently a disposition on the part ofgthe Committee to keep the tax on articles of luxury, such ‘as jowelry, plate, carriages and the like, and also on gas ana coal oll. There is a probability that the tax will be removed from raw cotton. The bill will not ve reported for several weeks to come. The Accounts of the Secretary of the Senate. The accounts of Céfonel Forney, Secretary of the ‘United States Senate, have been fully adjusted by his Snancial oMcers, and any person desirous of information on the subject can be gratified by calling on Hon. R. W. Taylor, First Comptrolier of the Treasury, Tnere has always been a large undrawn appropriation in the ‘Treasury to the credit of the Secretary of the Senate, troops—making a fudthe government has never been in the slighiest | danger of losing # dollar, The Trial of Surrat It was mentioned yesterday that Jobn H. Surratt’s second trial was sot down for the the 24th of February, that date being fixed by District Attorney Carrington.

Messrs, Phillips avd Solomons to-day sold two-thirds of the entire number of tickets to the Dickens reading course, amounting to $9,000, The tickets are $3 cach for the four readings, The Midnight Mall Between New York and Philadelphia. ‘The Postmaster Genoral to-day sent in answer to & resolution of Mr, O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, asking what reasons, If any, existed for the discontinuance of the tranemission of the midnight mail from the city of New York to the city of Philadelphia, whereby correspond. ence with the latter city from New York and localities east and noth of said city is delayed many hours, and whether, in view of the absolute necessity of frequent mail service between commercial cities, the transmis- sion of the said mail contract again be ordered, #0 as immediately to prevent further inconvenience to busi- ness and other interests, gays the mail in question was not discontinued py any orders of the department, nor was it originally ordered by the department or paid for by it, Early in the rebellion the railroad companiea composing the line between New York and Washington established a train between ‘these cities asan addition to the then existing trains leaving New York at twelve o'clock night and arriving ‘at Washington before eleven o’clock A, M. The depart- ment had no agency in orginating this train, and it was ‘understood te have been established for the purpose of relleving the reguldr trains, then overburdened by large passenger trafic aud the conveyance of troops, muni- tions of war, &c, The company consented to take mails by this train to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing- ton, and they were despatched by the New York office, but without promise of compensation by the department and without pledge on the part of the companies that the arrangements should continue longer than the train was needed for business purposes. Accordingly the Philadelphia avd Bajtimore company gave notice that the train between Philadelphia and Baltimore would be withdrawn April 7, 1867, stating that it cansed a loss to the company larger than she whole annual payment for mail service, which is $47,500. The Camden and Amboy Railroad Company gave a similar notice, and 6o tho train ceased to run and the mail to be carried on the 15th of !ast December. The department bas not the power to restore this cervice, even wero it essential to the public interest, without previous legislation by Congress and & special appropriation for the expense, as the railroad companies are receiving for the mail gervico now rendered the maximum compensation allowed by law; and as the train, if restorea, would be run for mail pur- poses only, a large addition to the present pay wouid Bo doubt be demanded, The Colonization Society. ‘The Ofty-Qrst annual report of the American Coloni- vauion Society was to-day presented and read to the Board of Diregors, bi following is a synopsis of the report :— ‘Yhe annual receipts of the socicty during the year show a total of $62,199, including $13,200 from dona- tions and $27,000 from’ legucies, ‘The disbursements for the same period were for the support ‘of emigrants on tue voyaye and for #ix months after landing in Liberia, for repairs and manning the ship Goiconda, $26,127; to the government of Liveria in the case of re- capiured Africans, $2,581, and for salaries of secretaries and agents in Lveria’ and at home, and for other ex~ penses, $18,400, making a total of over $84 000, and Compelling the sale of invested funds to meet the diflerence, $30,000, The preseat year opens with more work in haud and more m imuediate prospect than bas deen presented at any previous Line, and upless the re- nources be greatly increased the scale of expendiiures must be reduced.

Aiter referring to the Senator's letter of withdrawal, after mature doliberation, because of the decision to reinforce Fort Sumter, Mr. Howard asked whether tuat was not countenancing and encouraging the enemy? Just as much so, he said, as were the :imi- lar acis of Floyd and Thompson. ought it ovident that the gentieman’s sympathies had been agaiust the war and with the euemis of the country, lie (Mr, Howard) had scurcely the heart to comment upon the course of Mr, Thomas to Is his goa: but he could not heip thinking shut, as the father kuew of tention to commit treason, and then x: to carry him to Virginia to join the rebel army, he w: quiltyfof misprision of treason and punishable under the acts of 1790, He could Dave given his son into the cus~ tody of an officer and thereby prevented the act.

In this novel the illustrious characters which adorned and begutified the Court of Ane of Austria are faithfully depicted. Their tutrigues, those. blots upon the fair page of history which have made their time one idfig to be shud dered at for its shameless jews profiigacy, are truthfully sot forth, Among the more remarkable personages whose adventures the talented author bas related are Queen Anne of Austria, ,whose heart warmed © the English Buckingham rather than to the cold caresses of her phantom sovereign; Henrietta Hautfort, the beauty whom royalty alone might blemish> Marian Delorme, the brilliant actress; Isabelle, the angel of the Court, whose bright faco and womanly heart were lel lal | lelelel needed to purify the tainted and impure atmosphere; Steve Latil, warworn under the white plume of Navarre; Sous- carrteres, the boaster, who yet could shake off bis man, long sword in hand; the Dukes and Marshals, whose appro- priate deeds and even gestures lift them life-like from. the mere ley figure list; the jester Angely,, whose quips lose nothing of their wit, amacking of thetr age, of course, like Jing champagne; Riche. hou and his brother, the ed Cardinal and the Gray Monk, the sceptre of steol and the splinter of ice, one ruling in~ vinelbly, the other obeying wich » chilling celerity as un- seen but as potent as the killinzness of frost, Richelieo is allevldent from the early glanpse at him in his secret cabi- net, solaced from state toll by (he fair nun’s affection, or ia the merry mood of play writing with the Paris wits, to the farewell lingering look, when wo Scarlet Sphinx—hus riddle solved—dies deserted by kings, nobles and friends, but while upon him fall the tesrs of this guardsman captain and the immortelles of the Sisters of Mercy. ‘ ‘The names above suggest scenes, but only actual view can fully applaud the exquisite pains and utmost tavte lavished, in making Gnished studies—a string of gems, each its own jewel, while the links connecuing are precious gold—such a8 the Hugo-esque unburial of the ilving captive from the con- vent cell (a counterpart to the Monto Christo Inuneh tute the ses), the torture and quartering of Ravaillac, the regl- cide; the snow-slide and resoue of the mountaineer suse pended under the eves of an abyss by a single icicle, the smugglers’ brawl in an Alpine inn, with that startling ta- " terposition of the pistolarmed hand dashed through the loophole in the wall, and, wo thy sequel, the forlorn hope’s. rush upon the ramparts of Mantua, with Hou hero's warlike death, | tee ‘The following is one of the many tbrilling scenes deseribed in Dumas’ quick, nervous style, which make THE COUNT DE MORET one of the most fascinating ever laid before the reading publie:— a) “Really!
