Bg of jwterday, continued from our Fourth Edition WAsnraoTON, February 15. Sonata The Reconstruction bill ai again taken up. Mr. KTEWART resumed the floor. He con ended that the Blaine amendment u in nerfeot narmony with the action of Congress at the last "lon. It was ranch to be regretted that the south iiad not ratified the amendment. It was to be re gretted that tbay had not gone farther and incln. iled tbe right of suflrage to all men. There was ,do justification for the pending bill except imme 'dlate and pressing necessity. lie would call at-;'-entlon to the seyerlty of its provisions. There .wets no restraint npon the will of the military .'commander to be appointed nnder the bill. The innocent might be punished with the guilty. He '.would not Tote for the bill unless something like f he Blaine amendment was put in It. lie did not oare if be stood alone. He -would not Tote for the tbllt unless there was torn road open to escape left jto the southern people. What more could the 8e mate ask tban that the south should adopt the Amendment? He wanted but one thing more and fnat was universal suffrage. Mr. HOWARD objected to the Blaine amend jtttent, because ltrecognUd the validity of the State xoy eminent of the rebel States. The amendment i was incompatible with the bill. The principle of the bill, said Mr. Howard, Is that the rebel States have jbeen conquered as a result of a war waged against yhe United States. I hold that, subiect to the Con stitution of the United States, and the duty of ultl 'mately restoring the rebel States to their former standing unaer toe uonsuioiion, me government of the United States has the same power in refer ence to these conquered communities as it would nave naa naa tney been conquered territory. mr. jtiowara continuea nis remans in a similar train in opposition to the proposed amendment. Mr. WILLIAMS repeated the hope that no amendment would be adopted, stating as his rea sons those given In his first speech this morning. 'He wonld prefer such a proposition as that in the uiaine amendment to be ottered and passed inde pendently. mr. stew AKT again took the floor, and depre ated the establishment of military powerjin the outh, without such an amendment to the bill as was now before the Senate. Mr. MORRILL replied to Mr. Stewart, advert- ng to the condition of the south and the necessity or military protection to loyal people there. He as ior me military Din, witn tne amanamenior lthout it, and he was for it at the earliest practi cable moment. He was willing to vote for the amendment, for he was willing to indorse its terms, tie believed them to be just, out ne couia not understand how the amendment could be re- bearded as a sins qua non to voters for the bill. jf TUT. t-I T.' V 1 it" 1J w l I W (nl..j,rf iflk. Pwi.lrfaiil nf be United State was not Commander-in-chief of be army I Mr. HOWARD said that was a title conferred aa fhe President. Mr. HENDERSON asked if Mr. Howard knew Whether General Grunt would carry ont the views Of Congress or the views of the President! mr. HOWARD replied that he had no informa tion on this subject, and could only speak from the record of General Grant. He felt satisfied In be lieving, however, that U. S. Grant wonld do his duty. Mr. HENDERSON said he would like to know What General Grant regarded as his duty in such matters. He would like to know what Gen. Grant nought of this attempt to take the entire control of he army away from the President and give it to him. Mr. YATES, of Illinois, spoke In favor of the bill and amendment. Mr. WILLIAMS, at 4. no, moved a recess until 7 . M., and gave notice that he would expect the Senate to sit until It passed the bill. The recess was taken. - Evening Seiiion. Mr. WILSON Introduced the following, which was ordered to be printed: A bill proposing tbe conditions npon which the States lately In rebellion may resume their prac tical relations to the government of the United States. . Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, That the fourteenth artiole of amendment to the Constitution having been dnly ratified by tbe Legislatures of the requisite num ber of States, the same is hereby declared duly ratified and a part of the Constitution of the United States, and valid to all intents and pur noses as nart of tha flnnstitntioa of the United States; and wben n,nT of th States lately In insurrection shall have ratified the same, and shall have modified its constitution and laws in conformity therewith, and which shall secure equal ana impartial snnrage to an tne mate citi zens of the United States that have attained the age of twenty. one, and have resided in the State one year, and in tbe town, parish, city, district or county three months next preceding the day of election, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude, except such as may be dis franchised for participation in the late rebellion, in any and au elections tor presidential electors, lie- presentauves in uongress, ana m any auu an elections ior uovernor, auu ior aii oiaie, uuumy, district, parish, city and town officers, and has provided by the constitution and laws that all citl- aens ox uih umum ouiwb ducui cuuif usocn right to pursue all lawful associations ana dubi ssss, to receive the equal benefits of the publio schools, and to have the eqnal protection of all the rights of citizens of the united estates in saia state, and when said constitution shall have been sub mitted to tbe voters of said State as thus defined, for ratification or rejection, and when 'he consti tution, it ratified by the votes of tbe people of said State, shall have been submitted to Congress for examination and approval, said State shall, if its constitution be approved Dy congress, De aeciarea entitled to representation in Congress, and Sena tors and Representatives shall be admitted there from on their taking the oath prescribed by law. Mr. wijbUJ BUDmitiea a dui to laouuate tne settlement of accounts of disbursing officers. Re ferred to the Military Committee. Mr. WILLIAMS moved to take np the Rscon struction bill. Mr. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, called for a division, but no quorum being present, tbe Ser-geant-at-Anns was Instructed to request the at tendance of absent Senators. Several Senators soon after came in, making a quorum. Mr. JOHNSON stated the reasons which had influenced him In offering the Blaine amendment. He believed that the States lately In rebellion were States yet, and were entitled to representation. The only authority of the government for carrying on the late war was derived from Its right to sup press insurrection. The moment the insurrection was suppressed the States resumed their places in the government. The existence of these States bad been repeatedly reoognlzed in tbe appointment of marshals, judges, tax gatherers and postmasters. It had been recognized in the Supreme Court. He could not vote for any bill proposing to place any State at the present time under military power. Mr. WILLIAMS asked Mr. Johnson if the go vernment bad not tbe right to interpose to protect the lives of loyal men in the sontb, and save them from murder by tbe rebels I Mr. JOHNSON said tbe government had that right nnder the Constitution already. He did not believe tbe reports of cruellies to Union men in tire south. Here and there throughout the south there Blight be outrages upon Union men, but they were not general. He (Mr. Johnson) then gave his rea sons for supporting tbe amendment. If it was the duty of Congress to institute a despotism, It was its duty also to stats when it should cease, and not leave it to be determined by some future Congress. It was a provision similar to that reported from the Committee on Reconstruction last summer, In the shape of a bill in which the existence of the south ern States was distinctly recognized. Mr, BUOKALD W, of Pennsylvania, stated the rea am wiit ha should vote aasinst the amendment Re was opposed to the admission ol any Btate up tin the basis ot universal saOrage. It was in direct violation of the principles advocated by the minority in this body , lie would not vote to degrade snflrage aud pol in a.nt ftnrrnnt tha foundations of Doltttoal Dower in this country, tie should resist It, and. if overborne, besbould subui.t to the will of tha majority, lavin the vindication of bis course to a future time. He then ...-., hi. s.l.iu'tinTia tj ttta 1)111 itself. Mr, OBAOIN, el New Hampshire, spoke In support of the amendment. lie did not see now any man wno ntml lor tha .ndlni eoustitutloual amendment could vote against this eropo-ition. It would not luorease tbe representation of ihe rebel States In the fortieth Congress, as Mr. Howard said, . . .

Mr. BTj M M KK moved to amend by providing tbat tbe pending constitutional en endment shall be valid when ratified by three fourths of the Legislatures of the Btat's now represented in Congress. Mr. HAl'LUDUuY, of Delaware, spoke against the amendment Mr. JOHNSON, of Maryland, at 1.80 A. M., moved to sdjonrn Mr. HENDRICKS wished to make an agreement to take a vote at lu o'olock to-morrow.

Tbe SPKAKEK presented joint resolutions Of the New York Legislature ratifying the proposed constitutional amendment. Laid on the tuble. Mr. O'NEILL, of Pennsylvania, presented pe titions signed by over one hundred prominent merchants, underwriters, shipmasters and pilot! of the city of Philadelphia, praying that a per manent light-house may be erected on Cross Ledge Shoals, as the light-boat is removed from that place dnrlng tbe winter season, rendering navi gation exceedingly hazardous; that tbe Ice harbor at Reedy Island be extended for the accommoda tion of the large class of vessels now trading at Philadelphia, and that the piers there be repaired. Also, that another harbor for winter protection be made at Liston'a Tree Point, In tbe Delaware Bay. Petition of George B. Wood and John H. Pack ard, officers of the College of Physicians of Phila delphia, asking that the Importation of books and magazines for libraries, colleges, and other literary Institutions be continued freeot duty. Referred to tbe Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. MORRIS, of New York, presented the petl tlon of N. Metcalf, Esq , and many others, of On tario county, New York", praying that tbe present Congress may pass a tariff bill substantially re taining tbat portion of tbe House bill No. 718 which relates to wool and woollens, which passed the House at Its last session. Fonr like petitions, largely signed, from the town of York, Livingstone county. New York, were presented. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the Bounty bill. Mr. SCUENCK, of Ohio, chairman of the Com mittee on Military Affairs, which reported the bill, explained its provisions. It was the same, he said, as had passed tbe House last session, but not acted on by the Senate, with two differences one pro viding for cases of lost discharges, and one made necessary by the allowance of additional bounty made under the act of J uly 28, 1806. Tbia bill pro posed to a certain extent to equalize tbe bounties, whereas the act of July 88, 1860, only gave addi tional bounties to all soldiers. Mr. DAYIS Inquired of Mr. Schenck the amount Which would have to be paid nnder this bill. Mr. SCHENCK said It was very difficult to say. Some of the aeconnting officers estimated It at ftGM,000,XK), some at 9400,000,000, and some at 8250,000,000. The committee was satisfied that, nnder the deduotions provided In the bill, the ag gregate wonld not exceed between seventy-five and one hundred millions. Mr. MARSTON, of New Hampshire, asked Mr. Schenck to state the estimate of the War Depart ment. Mr. SCHENCK replied that, if the local boun ties were not deducted, the lowest calculation of what would be required under this bill was four hundred millions. Mr. BLAINE corrected Mr. Schenck. and aald four hundred and eighty-five millions. Mr. BANKS Suppose it is s485,00O,O00. Mr. SCHENCK But making the deductions provided in the bill, the aggregate will be reduced to between seventy-five aud eighty millions. Mr. BANKS said that the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Schenck, could propose nothing for the sol dier which he (Mr. Banks) would not sustain. He cared nothing whether this bill would require 9450,000,000 or 50, 000,000, the soldier's claim was the bottom claim. There was none stronger, deep er or juster. The State of Massachusetts had paid liberal bounties to her soldiers, and ao had New York and Pennsylvania, and yet they were now to be called upon to pay the soldiers of other States. New York would have to pay one-twelfth of all the bounties that would have to be paid nn der this bill. The amendment offered by Mr. Benjamin was agreed to without a division. The amendment onereo Dy mr. Koiuns was re jectedyeas 74, nays 85, the vote being sectional, not political, tne western memoers voting soiiaiy against it, and the eastern men generally lor it. in. r. tjlfcvtw s.witnarew nis amendment.
