In the Senate to-day n wion was taken up in @ disenssion of the Milita Reconstruction bill ¢ the House sent it back and sk a Conference Committee, An interesting, and at times exceedingly spicy debate sprung up. When the bill first came from the House the Repub- Jicans, in their hurry to dispose of it and hav the bill go to the President in time to get it b k to Con- gress in case of a veto, in order (o be able to pass it over the veto, all declined to make specches on the subicet, but gave all theiv time to the Dewoerats, who spoke for a day and pight. Couse iently, to- day the sublican Senators let loose their tongues and put h their views., Saummner and Fessenden were the only Senators who favered a Conference Daring the ate Wade and Howard ACCH cing guilty of trifhng and quibbling with the question. Fessenden replied to ges in a seathing manner. This evoss-fire Fessenden, Wade, and Howard was kept up for quite a while, they seeming to have forgotten how precions time was. Cowan, Buckalew, Doolittle, W Sanlbury all made speeches, helping to kill en, and withont a time. A:5o'clock a vote was tak all of the yeas and s, a Conference Committee was tefused, and the Senate insisted on its amend- wents. So the bill goes back to the House for dis posal. The Senate, after the vote was taken, ad- journed. The Senate at its evening session considered and passed a number of biils from the Military Commit- the rest one ine ing the pay of army per cent from the first of July last for iately after the reading of the Jonraal in the House this morning, the Military Reconstruction bill an it pussed the Sepate, was ta np, the motion be- ing that the House do coneny in the Senate amend ments. Long before the Honse began its session most of the members were present on the floor, and were busily en 1 in consulting on the merits of the bill and the probability of its p gage. Mr. Blaine, whose amendment the Senate at tached to the original bill, aud which is so ol able to the Stevens paity, was on the floor of the | House bright and early each State delegation, to find how the would vote on the question. Until the vote was t.ken, the fate of the bill was so doubtful that no oue would risk a conjecture. It was evident, however, that the vens party had gained in numbers since A number of leading Senators were on ul advising. Each party had its A all were anxions to dispose of the ) the bill was Mr. Eldridge my it on the tal This | pated some ast it was underste the Dewociats had pledged themselves to make no de- | lay, but allow a vote.

The chances are that a large wimber of them will be rejected. The Committee are institating rigid inquiry into the character of e by the Pre ainst the wishes of wiar) anton, and unless their record is good will be rejected. There is no probability that anything will be done with the proposition which was referred to the Ways and Means Committee to report a bill providing that there shall b no further yetitement duving the present year of the $4,000,000 per month. The House concurred in the amendment of the | Senate to the bill making the Congressional printer an and to be clected by that body. fove ing office and to superintend the printing for Departments.

The first hour was spent in Committee of the Whole on 1 ter the suc- the Armay Appropriation bill. The Military struetion bill was then taken np, it having been sent back by the Senate, The Democrats tried hard to keep the bill from being taken up, but were over- yuled by the rules of the Hon: Mi. Wilson offered an amendinent to the effect that all persons disfran- chiged by the ons of the Constitutional Aiend wment shall not be allowed to take part in the clee. con tions for delegates to form the State Consti- tutions, or take ¥y opart in reorganizing the State Governments. This awendment would undoubtedly have been adopted, and the bLill passed, but the Democrats hmmediately commenced filibustering, in order to kill the bill. Motions to adjourn over for one, two, and three days, and to take a recess, or to ad- | journ till such an hour, were made, and the Y. and Nays called on each. At about 10} o'clock, the Democerats, seeing that they had matters all their own way « number of Republicans were leaving the hall, offered to compromise, and if the House would adjonrn, they would allow a vote to-morrow at 12 0'clock. The Blaiue party indignantly rejected this proposition, and expressed a determination not to yield, but to pass the bill if they had to sit all night. as A large number of Republicans were willing to give and a motion to adjourn by tel- The Blaine men in to the Democra Jers resulted in a vote of 66 to 62. were determined to put Republi and accordingly the Yeas and adjourn were had, and voted down by 62 Yeas to 80 Nays.
