JUNE 15.—A report from thé Conference Committee on the resolution for the disposal of lands in the Southern States was made and agreed to, Mr. Sherman made a per- sonal explanation, denymg that he is the organ of the Treasury Department. Resolutions were adopted to pay for certain quartermaster’s stores in West Virginia; to print 1,000 copies of the Naval Academy visitor's re- ;;-n for 1866, and calling for a report on Coast Defenses, he Paris Exposition resolution was amended by au- thorizing the expenditure of $25,000 in coin for buildings, and then passed, 21 to 13, Private billsand District bills were considered, and after an executive session the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. A resolution was adopted dirceting an inquiry into the assault on Mr.(.lrimu-llg: Mr./Rousseau, lh?ml?lionu Were sed to pay bounties t®ecrtain Indian regiments, and to settle the accounts of W. H. Hanwich. The Senate bill concerning paymasters in the Navy was was passed. A resolution wes :du}')zcd to inquire as to the removal of a Jumber wreck off the entrance of New-York harbor. Bilis ‘were passed authorizing the sale of the Fort Leavenworth Reservation to the CI!K of Leavenworth; to construct a horse railroad thmnfi the same reservation, &e. Mr, Bingham sought to offer aconcurrent resolution calling on the President to transmit the resolution for a Constitu- tional amendment to the scveral States; upon which a long debate followed, involving a ruling by the Kre ker that the amendment does ot require the President's sig- nature. A great number of dpriu!e bills were then acted on, and the House adjourned. The Freedmen's Bureau bill i!‘th‘c-flpccifll order for Tuesday next in the Senate. The Paris Exposition resolution, as amended, in- cluding an appropriation of §25,000 in coin for erect- ing buildings in Paris, passed the Senate yesterday by 21 to 13, and goes back to the House for concurrence. —_——— The House yesterday adopted a resolution instruct- ing its Committee on Commerce to inquire into the expediency of removing the suuken wreck ab. the cutrance of New-York harbor, cast of Sandv Hook. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, We suppose there is no doubt the wreck is dangerons to navigation, and that it is somebody's duty to get it | out of the way. Sepator Sherman y ay stated that he was not the organ of the Treasury Department. We are very glad to hear it. Now we trust the premium on Gold will stop rising, and we even hope for its early declive. The President has vetoed the bill ““to enable the New-York and Montana Iron Mining and Manufac- turing Company to purchase a certain amount of the public lands,” &o, Those who are interested in that subject will find the veto in full in another column. On the second page of this morning's paper will be found Literary Items and an interesting notice of Father Prout; on the seventh page, Law Intelligence, areport of the annual meeting of the New York State Eclectic Medical Society, a paper on the Peculiari- ties of German and French Criminal Jurispradence, the Lost Childrexr’s Department, report of the meotin g of the Board of Supervisors yesterday; and other items of news and of general interest. The Honse has directed the appointment of a sclect committee to inquire and report concerning the assault of Mr. Roussean upon Mr. Grinnell. We trust the investigation will be vrief and the report speedy. The Committee can learn all the facts at one sitting, and ‘make their recommendation to the House the first of next week. It is desirable that in a casé of this mag- nitude, where the dignity of the House has been brought into contempt, the matter should be fully investigated. The fquestion concerning the presentation to the President of a resolution proposing o constitutional amendment came up incidentally in the House yester- day. There is'no doubt about the matter, except in the minds of certain Copperhead gontlemen who want to assist Mr. Johnson to make another issue with Congress. Such a resolution does not require the Prosident’s signature. Mr. Colfax took the trouble to present the history of the law on this point in a very clear and complete manner, and Mr. Le Blond, con- sidering the better part of valor to be discretion, refrained from any attempt to continue the discussion. The colored men of New-Jersey are moving to con- test legally their right to the ballot. Claiming that, as tax-payers, representation is due them inthe enact- ment and administration of the laws, they will offer their votes at the next election, aud, if refused, they will bring the matterto the courts, and there lay open the whole question of suffrage. The most intelligent and wealthy colored men of the State lead the enter- prise, which retains for its chief lawyer Gen. B. F. Butler. A meeting to swell the movement will be tield in Newark on Friday. We are glad that it has its beginning in New-Jersey, and hope that this spirited example will be followed in other States, A queer memorial to the Board of Health expresses the opinion that * the prohibition of the sale of lager beer on Sunday is very dangerous to the health and | injurious to the morals of a large class of our German population. For this and other wise reasons these pe- titioners pray that the Board will interfere to re- | lax the rigor of the Excise law and allow lager on Sundays as a religions, temperance, and general re- form agent.” Probably it might also settle all the vexed questions of Reconstruction; but the memorial- ists forgot to mention this among the other virtues of their pet beverage.

THE PRISOVER OF STATE, For the first time smnce his incarceration in For- tress Monroe, we have what agents of the newspa- pers have sought vainly—positive and authentic newsof the *“State Prisoner Davis.” We hear from Mr. Jefferson Davis himself. Not an idle.charge has been that of his medical adviser, or one without in- terest to the world, e has published o book. We make no general objections to this volume, which, in the hesitancy of the Government and the mystery of the public mind, supplies a hint toward a solution by giving what purports to_be the prisoner's veritable history for the past yeaf, What is Mr. Davis's own state of heing is a matter of some importance while the question is before us, What to do with him. We cannot think, while there exists, inside and outside his prison, a condition of opinion which either invites or renders permissible the publica- tion of guch & book by an officer of the United States, the public can be long of opinion that the best use we can make of *State Prisoner Davis" is to keep him indefinitely in Fortress Monroe, The whole force of the plea in Mr. Davis's behalf only emphasizes the demand made repeatedly by the prisoner himself, that he be at once tried, gonvicted or acquitted, or released on bail or parole, Nke his colleagues in treason. The writer is Col. Ctaven, whose meritorious service as a sargeon in the Union army renders his logalty and bhamanity above sus- picion. ‘We have little here to do with the greater part of Mr. Davis's opinions, which range from war and State Rights to treason and to rattlesnakes, It con- cerns us more to know the actual state of the prisoner as affecting the question between North and Sonth, and hia right to a trial or a release; for the nation cannot design that either the law of the land or Jef- ferson Davis shall wantonly suffer. On the 19th of May last year, Jefferson Davis and his colleagues subsequently paroled were consigned to Fortress Monroe. He took his eaptivity bitterly, and on the 23d resisted, with bodily energy and fierce- ness of spirit, the men who sbackled him. Ol dis- orders, aggravated by confinement, made him feverish and irritable. His face was emaciated, and his head troubled with a neuralgia which bad destroyed his right eye and tended to impair the remaining one. The light in his casemate, and the tread of the sentinel, made him sleepless. Being too weak to support his irons, they were taken off five days after they wese put on. He was sensitive to the dampnesa and nn- wholesome air of his cell (though officers and their families had dwelt in the same unbealthy casemate), in proof of which mold had gathered on his shoes. He referred often to the severity of his treatment, though it does not appear that his food was bad— albeit knife and fork were denied him—or that he subjected to other rigors than that which ord prisoners undergo. He complaine d that his bis wife and family bad to pass the scruti Military Commandant and the Attorn; June, he was permitted to walk on the ramparts an hour cach day; but lie was at first soweak that he "SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1868. 20th of August, he is reported suffering from erysipe- las and a carbuncle, with attendant fever. Shortly afterward, he was conducted to more comfortable quarters, selected by his physician. Though he still complained of deteriorating bealth, we hear gradualiy less of him, in this respect, up to Novembor, since which time, we may observe, his prison restraints have been gradually relaxed, so that he has the reason- able liberty of the fort, and can see bis friends. One of the prisoner's most plansible complaints is that, while numbers of those who urged at the beginning that the black flag should be hoisted have been prac- tically pardoned, he, who had opposed all desperate measures, s the victim of indignity out of proportion. With Mr. Davis's reported opinions on our present politics, we have nothing to do. But we remark that he scouts the charge of assassination, and, whatever may bave been bis former feelings, speaks with unmis- takable respect of the martyred Lincoln. de- fense from the eharge of treason is the palladium of all other Rebels—the States Rights doctrine of war and * reconstruction.” More than once, he indulges tho common Soutbern sneer at ** Yaukees," ¢ New- Englanders,” and * Massachusetts,” while sharing the narrow notion that the North—whose magnanimity since and during the war is confessedly something remarkabl civilization—is little” better than ““a money-making people.” Out of this poor prisoucr, with his casemated prejudices, it will be hard for any biographer to construct a Napoleon. Regarding his trial, we quote Ar, Davi words. After speaking of States Rights, Le says: * But if—as I snppose—the purpose be to tost the question of secossion by a Jadicia) declsion, why hegin by oppressing the chief subject of the exp:riment! Why, in the name of fuirness and a decont respect for mankind, deprive him of the meaws for the opinicns of mankind; deprive him of the means needful to a preparation of bis defense, and losd him with in- dignities that must deprive bis mind of its due equilibriam ¢ It .l comports with the dignity of & great nation to eviuee fear of giving to n single captive enemy all the advantages possible for an exposition of bis side of the question. A question set- tled by violeuce or in disregard of law must rewais unsettied forever own On the question of the Andersonville cfime, he holds that to make him responsible for this was “worse than absurd—criminally false.” * For the last two years of the war, Lee's army bad never more than half, and was oftenor on quarter rations of rusty bacon and corn.” He also believes that Commissary- Gen. Northrop aud Gen, Winder did the best they could; that the priconers were ordered to receive ‘“procisely the same rations given to the troops guarding them; but dishonest Commissaries and Pro- vost-Marshals were not confined to any people.” Of this explanation of a erime which caused the death of prisoners by tens of thousands, the most charitable thing we can say at present is that it is too short to be satisfactory. From the whole revelation given to us of the pris- ouer ot Fortress Mouroe, we conclude that, as resting under the weight of stupendous charges, hls treat- ment, even to the placing of shackles upon him, was not extraordinary, Nor does it appear that bis food and accommodations have been worse than what milder State prisoners have experienced in comforta- ble qnarters du; the v Iis complaints have ard through his sician, and the rigors of 1ent have bec Bat ) indabitablo fcts which give weight to —first, that Mr. Davis {s a g2ronic- 1, second, that he ieen b his confinen 1 granoally lessened. there the plea in leavi ally ill and perhaps dying man; bad a i peedy trial, Judging these facts,'we conceive it to be altogether to a fair and s just and reasonablo that his connsel so earnostly ask bis releaso on bail. If he is to be punished, it is evi- dent that no punishment can be severer to him than imprisconment. He may deserve the miseries of Ander- nville, and the last penalty of troason, Lot that be tried and proved.

THADDEIN STEVENS, We reprint from The Globe the speech of the Hon, Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, in closing the debate on the Constitutional Amgndment, There are many things in the philosophy of Mr. Stevens with which we do not agree, and from time to time we have felt constrained to say so. But there is so muech in his character that is grand and brave—a beautiful devotion to the truth and the right—that we cannet fail to honor him. Thaddeus Stevensis an old man. He was in public life before many of the most noted of our soldiers and statesmen bad left school. In the course of years he must soon pass from us. To him bas fallen the felicity of seeing the labors of a life devoted tofreedom crowned with the success of freedom. There is something sad in the old man's lament over what might bave been. We have full sympathy with the feeling without sharing the sadness, He has done his work well. There are brave men in the party of freedom who will follow this cause to a triumph whether near or far, determined that the Republic shall be a nation of freedom and equality, with all rights for all. “If it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.” Long may it be before Mr. Stevens lays down the mantle of leadership! He may not see the day for which his soul yearns~but the day will come, The New-Orleans Crescent tells its readers that Tun TRIBUNE proposes a general disfranchisement of the Southern Whites? We do not urge the persistent disfranchisement of the inveterate Rebels. Right well does The Crescent comprehend our platform— Universal Amnesty, Impartial Suffrage. Tn our article on * Mileago,” yesterday, an error of the printer made us say that the mileage of the members was 8 Largo as mileage and pay combined. The error was ob- vious; but we make this correction in justice to Congress, and that the record may be right.
