TIIURSDAY, FEBRUARF 21, 1867. Fiaal Passage of the Military Recon struction Hill. Congress resumed its consideration of the bill for the government of the Rebel States yester day ,'and finally passed it with amendments. We have followed the course of this bill from its introduction to the present time , but a brief review of its history may servo to give our readers a clearer idea of it. The bill, as originally, introduced by Mr. Stevens, was merely a police bill, dividing the Rebel States into five military districts, and subjecting them to the military authority of the United States. It made it the duty of the General of the army to assign the commanders to these districts, and restricted the power of the judicial authorities of the United States to grant writs of habeas corpus in behalf of per sons in military custody. In this shape the bill passed the House of Representatives, Mr. Blaine having vainly endeavored to attach to it a scheme of quasi reconstruction. The bill, after consideration in the Senate, was passed by that body, with amendments giving to the President the assignment of commanders for the Military Districts pro vided for in the bill, dropping the section in regard to the habeas corpus, providing that no sentence of death should be executed with out the approval of the President, and adding a scheme of reconstruction essentially similar to that offered by Mr. Blaine in the House. The bill was now returned to the House, where a motion to concur in the Senate's amendments was voted down, a majority of the Republicans voting to concur, but being out voted by, the united votes of the Democrats and of the Republican minority, led by Mr. Stevens. The House then voted to non-concur in the Senate's amendments, and asked a committee of conference. The Senate again took up the bill, adhered to its amendments, and refused a committee of conference. The bill was again returned to the House, but so much time had now been consumed, that but few hours remained in whih a bill could be sent to the President, and not en counter the liability of being killed by a pocket veto. The Democrats began to filibuster to consume these few hours, and the House ad journed to yesterday. The consideration of the bill was resumed yesterday, and the Senate amendments were concurred in, with the fol lowing additional amendment by the House, viz., an amendment to the fifth section, pro viding: "That no person excluded from the privilege of lioldiDK olllco by the sulil proposed, niiieii'l men t to the Constitution ol the On Hint ."Slutes, Khali be eligible to election uh ii member o: the convention to frame a constitution ior any of the said Hebel States; nor shall any such;pm'sou vote for members of suou convention." And a new section enacting: "1'hat, until the people of the said Itebel State shall be by law admiUod to representation In the Congress of the United H'ates, any civil governments that may exist therein shall be deemed provisional only, and slinll be In all respects subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control, or supersede the same, and in all elec tions to any oliice under such provisional governments, all persons shall be entitled to vote, and none others, who are entitled to vote under the provisions of the liflb section of this act; and no person shall be eligible to any otliee under such provisional governments who would be disqualified from holding oliice under ttie provisions of the third article of said Constitu tional amendment." . The bill, as thus amended, passed the House by a strict party vote of 125 yeas to 41 nays. The Senate immediately took it up, and con curred in the amendments of the House by a vote of 35 yeas to 7 nays, Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, voting for it on the ground that he saw in it a mode of rescuing the country from the perils that now threaten it, not because he approved of it in any particular. The bill now goes to the President for his action. As there are not ten days, exclusive of Sundays, between the passage of the bill and the expiration of the session, he can kill the bill by neglecting to sign it; or lie can veto t and return it immediately, which would allow of its being repassed over his veto; or lie can veto it near the close of the session, when, by filibustering, action upon the veto could be Staved off until the expiration of the session. We think the President will pocket the bill. Life Insurance. Mas. Warren, in her sensible little book on housekeeping, which has attracted attention on both sides of the water, enumerates in the foremost rank of the necessary expenses of a family, a certain annual sum for a policy of life insurance. If the necessity of laying aside fortius distinct purpose a fair, propor tion of every man's income could but be im pressed on the head of every family, the desti tution, abject penury, and breaking hearts which are now so common would be, to a great extent, avoided. Wo earnestly wish that wo could lend to our readers a part of our convic tion that it is one of the great duties of a hus ,band and fatfter to see that those dependent on him during life shall not suffer after his death. We do not write in behalf of any company. We do not advocate any special plan of insu rance; but we seek to impress on all who read our words that they owe it to their families to at once provide for that unavoidable exigency, an unexpected decease. The Bible declares that he who neglects to provide for his family is worse than the infidel. We all kuow in what light a man stands who allows his family to lie in want while he lives. The respect of the world is meted out to a citizen in proportion as he surrounds his offspring THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1867. with that protecting care which all laws, human and divine, impose upon a father. Yet many of the most faithful of our people, men who, during life, would shrink with scorn from the thought of letting their "loved ones want, will unaccountably neglect to provide for the support of their families when they are called to their long account. When we think of the uncertainty of life, when no man knows when he leaves his home in the morning that he will return again at night, we stand amazed at tliis gross negligence of these otherwise cautious men. Merchants and men of busi ness, who provide continually for the failure of an enterprise or the occurrence of an unanticipated event, go through life as though they were immortal, and as though they would ever be here to watch over and support their families. We hold it to be a duty on the part of every man to set aside part of the receipts of the year to pay for his policy of insurance. The poor man can save but little, and as during his life his family are not accustomed to live in elegance, so only need the state of his finan ces, at his death, afford the ordinary styles of living for his family when ho is gone. A small policy will be as much to them as a larger one to a family accustomed to all the conveniences of life. Let the rich man also provide according to his means. Whilo the laborer cannot afford to secure more than a few thousands, the rich man can secure more ; Tor although ho may, at the present time, justly anticipate a rich legacy for his heirs, a sudden turn of the wheel of fortune may leave him a beggar and his children penni less. There is no more secure investment than a policy of insurance. We know it is stated that many of the companies are bogus, and will defraud those who invest in them. Such may be, and doubtless is, true of some,but the very large majority of these institutions are thoroughly reliable. Their reputa tion depends on their promptly meeting claims whose justice even is doubtful, rather than let public confidence be impaired by an ex posure. The picture engraved on the policies of some of the associations, of the agent of an association paying to the widow and children the funds which raise them from penury to ease, is not a fancy sketch. It is a reality which occurs every day, and hundreds of thousands of families rise up and bless the foresight which induced the father to see that they be not left destitute by h:s death. The grief at the loss of the head of a family is enough to be endured, without the additional agony of being in doubt as from whence their daily bread will bo secured. Let, then, each of our readers who has not already attended to this essential duty, avoid delaying it a single day. None know how soon they may bo removed, or what disaster may overtake them. Let each then prepare for a catastrophe, and see that when death or failure arrives, those they love more than themselves are not left both desti tute and desolate. Tun MtTDKit Yestkkdav. The true causo of the fearful tragedy enacted yesterday in the Court of Quarter Sessions, is to be laid at the door of the - inefficiency of jury trials. The distracted father, feeling confident that the proper punishment would not be meted out to the prisoner by a jury, took vengeance in his own hands, and the community was startled by another dreadful murder. An long as the present system of jurors continues, so long will every injured man dread to let justice be meted out under the .rule. The acquittals of murderer sin direct opposition to facts; the find" ing of manslaughter where wilful homicide wad clearly established; in fact, the unreliability of a Quarter Sessions jury, is producing a feeling in the community against the whole system. The trial by peers was doubtless an admirable institution in the days of the Magna Charta but the peers of gentlemen will not serve on modern juries ; and to-day we would rather have a case decided by a bench, where igno rance certainly does not rule, and where there can be no greater partiality than is found under the present arrangement. The Storm Predicted. The heavy fall of snow that is now taking place was predicted eome time Blnce by Pro fessor Agassiz, who declared, at the cessation of the January Bterni, tbat the heaviest enow Btorm of the winter was jet to come. Professor Agassiz has been made responsible for more things than be ever dreamed ot, but if he actually predicted the present storm, it Is evi dent that he would be au acquisltioj to a weather almanac-niaker.
