Wilson, of Iowa, moved its reference to the Judiciary Committee. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, moved an amendment, that it be referred to the Reconstruction Committee. Wilson accepted the amendment, and called for the reading of the correspondence.1 - It was listened to with unusual interest and attention. Wilson then called the previous question on the motion to refer to the Reconstruction Committee and print the correspondence. Covode aAed whether it wis in order, in view of the straightforvard, niau'y course of General Grant in the whole transaction, to move a vote of thanks to him. The Speaker said it was not ii or der.

Arnell, Pile and Blaine desired to, offer amendment's, but Julian declined permission without disposing finally of the bill. Adjourned. ; - Senator Craigan, of New Hampshire, in his speech in the Senate on the 31st, on the question of Reconstruction, paid the following compliment to Senator Morton. He said: " There are many objections urged again t the plan of Congress and .the loyal people, by those who are opposed to reconstruction unless the rebel element can rule and dictate terms. I shall not speak of the constitutional objections, nor of the want of power on the part of Congress. That question was argued and settled by my distinguished friend, the Senator from Indiana, on last -Friday., in a speech which has rarely been equaled in this Chamber. His argument .demonstrated with logical certainty that. the President had no authority reconstruct those States, and, that.it was not only, the right Out the . duty of Congress to do it, aid fo do it on a loyal basis. That speech was a most masterly and complete vindication of Congress., and will live beside thejiest efforts of Daniel Webster, f . .,' , Much as the country owed bfoitT iq aid. and counsel to .that Senator for1 his great aud,uatiring services during the great struggle for natijpual"exist ence, the debt js vastly increased now. One other Governor, a mong many ether good ; ones, stood out' preemineut for liis heroic fortitude,- ability and considerate tenderness durlngthe terrible straggle; but hifj, eloquent voice is hushed in deatfijj add hetnow' watches with the immortal Lincoln and.hosts of others who died for their eountry, over the work we are now' doing, and I doubt not, intercedes with Him who shapes the destinies of men and nations that the work may not fail. The other Governor, whose star shone with equal brilliancy in the "West, is still laboring with his great head arid heart, but with health impaired, for that country for which, so many good men hare ' given -their lives. liis seat is vacant to day; May he.live to see the gr at consummation' so ' devoutly desired by all patriotic hearts, atrd the renewed and increased ' glory of a' united country, and a happy and prosperous people.
