the bill to eu
tional Amend
determined I
o'clock, on
session of ninete..
bill was adopted as a b._
House bill, with eeie . h~.
amendments designed to
rights of citizens and`-oecure fah
tions. The bill is carefully diawL..
quitcl lengthy, and seems to cover every
concolvable violation or evasion of the
wi. Amendment. Sherman's amend
ment, which was adopted by a vote of
31 to 11, provides that any person at
elections for members of Congress, or
electors for President or Vice President,
who shall vote and not be entitled to
vote, or who shall, by any means, In
duce Or compel an election officer to
receive unlawful votes, and any elec
tion officer refusing or :omitting to do
any duty imposed by this act, shall be
indictable and on conviction suffer fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars, or
Imprisonment not exceeding three
years, or both, and pay costs. The
same penality is provided for, unlaw
fully registering or causing We regis-
tering of any person not entitled.
Mr. Morton's amendment makes it a
misdemeanor, punishable by line and
imprisonment, for ally person to in
timidate a colored voter by threatening
to terminate his lease, or ejecting him
from houses, lands, or other property.
Mr. Pool's amendment provides fine
and imprisonment not exceeding $lO,-
000 and ten years, and a perpetual dis
qualification for office, of any persona
banding together in disguise to intimi
date or deprive any person of the rights
to which he is entitled by the pifteenth
Amendment. This is aimed more par=
ticularly at the murderous Klu-Klux
organizations in the South..
The main struggle was on these rad
ical amendments, Democratic Senators
being aided in the opposition to them
by Trumbull, Edmunds, Carpenter,
Ferry, and other "conservative" Re
publicans. Their adoption by decided
majorities is regarded as a triumph of
the progressive Republican element in
the Senate, and as foreshadowing thA
defeat of the Bigham provision in the
Georgia bill , when it comes before the
Senate. The bill, thus amendleinal
ly passed hy a strict party vo yeas
42, nays B—Edmunds, Conkliug and a
few other . Republicans not voting.
The House having non-concurred in
the Senate amendment, a Committee
of Conferenwwas appointed, who on
Tuesday reported the Senate bill with
out material amendment. It will of
course be approved by the President.
SOME of the Democratic papers have
been trying to make a point as against
President Grant, by the statement that
he recently refused a favor asked by
Gen. Hancock because the latter did
not approve of the policy of the Ad
ministration—in other words, because
Hancock was a Democrat. This has
led to a publication of the correspond
ence, which will be found it sbother
column. It turns out that Hancock's
request was declined because of Insub
ordination and rude deportmenk in
his personal relations to Gen. Grant,
Commander-In-Chief of the army. It
will be recollected that when Johnsen
put himself In the hands of the Rebel
element, and made war on Gen. Sheri
dan because the lattet put his foot en
the New Orleans Rebels, Sheridan Was
removed from the command of the
Department of Louisiana, despite the
protests of Gen. Grant, then Com
mander-In-Chief. Johnson had some
trouble to get an army officer high
enough in rank to do his dirty work.
Gen. Hancock, who had made
a brilliant war record, lent a willing
ear to the seductive flatteries of false
friends, who whispered the probability
of his nomination to the Presidency
by the Democratic party d the pos
sibility of his reachini the White
House. He becardAlerboralizati, con
sented to bee tool of thapfesident, did
the work prescribed,-but failed to Ob
tain the promised-prize. On his return
to Washington, he declined to report
persOnally to the Commander-In-Chief
of the Army, simply registering his
name at headquarters, and subsequent
ly refused to recognize Gen. Grant on
the street—afterwards boasting of the
insult. The tables have turned.—
Hancock didn't get to be President—
Grant did. And - now, when Hancock
sues for a special favor from the man
whom he deliberately insulted, the
President delicately reminds him that
"tine relations which he (Hancock)
chose to assume towards him (Grant)
officially and privately, absolve him
from regarding Hancock's personal
preferences." That is the whole of it.
The correspondence speaks for itself.
Tun election in New York, over
which the Democracy are felicitating
themselves, was a farce so far as con
cerns New York City ;and Brooklyn,
where by reason of the Republicans
making no stand the "repeaters" had
the polls pretty much to themselves,
rolling up over 70,000 Democratic ma
jority in the two cities. Even the
World, the leveling Democratic organ,
admits the farce in the followiig brief
reference to the election :
"Repeating was carried on 'as usual
and with usual success. In some of
the districts the register lists were but
seldom consulted—a fact which made
repeating and other illegal voting own
paratively easy."
The maiority in the State for the
Democratic ticket is slightly over that
cast in New York and Brooklyn. The
rural districts, where the Republican
strength lies, polled an unusually light
vote—partly by reason of its being a
busy season with farmers, and partly
because of a knowledge that until
something be done to break up the
enormous fraudulent voting in New
City, political contests are uselese,• 7
The "repeaters" can roll up any ma
jority requisite to swamp the legal
Republican majority In the State. /I
is admitted that the Tammany wing of
the party did the heaviest business in
the repeating and ballot-sniffing line,
leaving the .local eandidates of rival
Democratic organisations nowhere.

J. He now re-
which the For.
.menus dominant,
..ought to make some
proposition. Mr. DaWes,
I=
of Maisiebusetts, oppOsed the amend
mint and very sensibly stated his ob
jections:
I ern oppposed to this amendment be
cause I do not consider that any of the
reason' , fbr which ministers are appointed
demand the appointment of a minister to
Rome. When we accredit ministers to
Turkey, Greece, and other such nations,
we accredit ministers to nations with whom
we have commercial intercourse. Whit
Rome there is no such intercourse what
ever. Rome sends no minister here. It is
s/Power which is unique and sui generia,
and has nothing to do with the commercial
world at all. It is to a great extent a re
ligious Power, to which we , never accredit
a minister for any reason whatever ; and
the ebi. (ground upon which my colleague
urges theappointment is the fact that this
is a spiritual Power. The onlyc method of
preserving peace and harmony pith such a
Power is to abstain from political connec
tion with it whatever. Neither the State
Department nor auy other branch of the
Government suggests the idea of commenc
ing anew diplomatic relations with this
Government.
We abolished the mission some years ago
because it was found entirely useless, and
wholly upon onr side, without reciproca
tion on their part. Ido not see thh slight
est reason whatever why we should add this
amount to the current expenses of the
Government. Rome is a place to be visited
by men who love art and science, and men
of taste and culture ; it is a place of resort
for travelers. But thire is no necessity for
a minister or a consul at a place where the
pleasure travel of the world centres.
Mr. Cox,•of New York city, a dem
agogue of the first water, followed up
Brook's demonstration, and while, bit
terly assailing the Puritanic element
of the country proceeded to pronounce
exalted eulogies on Rome,charging the
Republican party with hostility to the
Catholic church, and hence the oppo
sition to sending a minister to Rome.
This brought to his feet .Bingham, of
Obio, the beat ex tempore talker in the
House, who replied in a five minutes
speech of rarely surpassed eloquence.
As reported in the anwressiotaal Globe,
Mr. Bingham said : • -
I regret very mei+, Mr. Chairman, that
the gentleman from New York [Kr. Brooks]
has seen fit to reply to objections made to
the proposed amendment to this hill by im
puting to this Ode; of the House any desire
to persecute Rnme on account ofJbe pecu
liar religious notions entertained by the See
of the Papal States. It was unwrirthy of
the gentleman. Instead of making such an
appeal as that to passion and prejudice, in
stead of making any such bid as that for
the votes of any religious sect in America,
he would have done well to have told this
Rouse and the country what occaainn there
is for any other representative of this cnon•
try at Rome than that which la already pro
vided by this bill. This hill makes an ap
propriation for a consul at Rome, and that
answers at once the suggestion . of the gen
tleman the there is in this bill any intend
ment even to strike at that penninsaa...adr
count of their peculiar religious faith.
Rome, Mr. Chairman, ngeda.no pee ullar
eulogy at the bands of gentlemn who sup
pose that that particular religions sect sup
ports the Democratic oreanizsition of this
country ; for, air, recent events have shown
to reaecting men that that power itself is no
hinter a unit, and cannot be. The syllabus
recently uttered by the bead of that organ
ization is a declaration of principles which,
ottlitlro to my, rho grutleuiall nom rim
Yol k himself dare not indorse and go home
among his people. It is an attempt to fet
ter the freedom of corm:lends; it an at
tempt to letter the freedom of speech ; it is
an attempt to fetter the freedom of the press;
It is an attempt to strike down the rising
antagonism to every despotism on the fate
of the earth, in the form of representative
government, foremost among the exponents
of whicb is America, the child and the hope
of the earth's old age. Talk to me at this
era of history about Rome being the "pa
tron of science and the mother of. arts r
Why, sir of that genius that makes even
the marble itself wear the divine beauty of
life there is more to-day in living America
than was ever dreamed of in Borne, living
or dead. Why. then, talk at this day about
dignifying tha t little principality with a
resident minister from America? Do not
gentlemen know that in the light of the
teachings of that foremost of all the men
bred in the faith of the church of Rome
(and I admit she had bred .nany great and
able men, who knew how to make hu
manity itself beautiful even amid the terrors
and tortures of martyrdom,) uttered a word
when under the ban of Charles.V, and Leo
X, and Henry VIII, which reverberates to
day all over Christendom ; I refer, sir, to
Inc Augustan monk who found out for him
sell and proclaimed to mankind the great
central truth which to-day possesses We
enlightened mind of the nineteenth century;
that no mitered head may, of the grace of
God or of divine right, interpose. Ito dark
snadow bete/Den man and his Maker. By
that word Martin Luther became the libe.ni
tur of the human race; it Made the:immor
tal period of human hiatory,the reformation,
the insurrection of the human mind, against
the despotism which fur centuries had en
slaved it.. Under the omnipotent power of
that utterance every tyrant, whether la
Route ur out of it, holds to-day the reins of
pow er with a 'rein uloua and unsteady hand ;
and the,,clay is nut tar oistaut when every
Wruue ut power Buell turn Indust and ashen

ened public opinion of the civilized world,
which declares for tree governments, free
churches, tree echoed', tree Bibles, and free
men.
Mr. Bingham's remarks produced a
profound sensation, and a protracted
debate ensued, participated in by
Messrs. Dawes, Voorhees, Banks, Hoar,
Cox, Bingham, Brooks, Ortb, Eiriflge
and others, with more or less personal
ities--the excitement at times rising to
fever heat and defying all eflbrts of the
Chairman to preservit order. The con
fusion was .only terminated by the
Committee finally rising and reporting
progress to the House.
During the debate, Mr. yoorhees, of
Indiana, renewed the, attack on the
Puritanic element of the country, with
a re-hash * of Brooks' and Cox's damn
goguical attempts to gi 40'the opposition
to the mission a religious aspect. He
want further and developed a little
meaner specimen of demagoguism
than either by remarking :
Gleritlemen on the other side niay . Bauer
themselves that they have the negro vote of
this country to enable them to dispense
with the_rote of the foreigner. In my own
State it is said,,"iiel the lash go, let the
Dutchgo: we have the negroes in their
placr.' , Never did that party love the for
eigner. more especially the foreigner of the
Catholic faith.
This called out Mr. Orth,' of the
same State, who brought his cellsague

truthfulness of this
_itatemput, and
daring him to nitre any itoPuNicant

at first attempted to parry the subject,
by loose explanation, but being pressed
was corapejled to back down squarely.
Mr. Orth further very quietly but
effectually covered the real Isatio In a

The propo-ition to send Minister to

HoN. Jeremiah S. Black, of York,
Buchanan's Attorney General, and au
thor of the celebrated legal opinion
which led Buchanan to declare in his
message of December 1860 that t Fe
Government had no right to use co-.r -
Mve measures to prevent the Secessi 3 n
of States from the Union, has a lengtii9
article in the June No. of the Ga tamol,
addressed to Senator Wilson. , 0 0 -
tensibly in teply to the article of ti,ie
latter In a recent Issue of the Attantie
Monthly, wherein Mr. Wilson develti
ed the treasonable character 'of
Lion of Buo Cabinet, and .-eure
tory Stanton's agency in keeping loyal
members of C'ongress posted as to the
doings of the traitors. But Judge
Liaca's article is simply characteristic,
intensely bitter, dealing in loose de
clarations and not deigning to bring
any facts to the support of his sleeping
allegations. While pretending to de
feud Stanton from the charge of hy
pocrisy, he makes him a party to the
misdeeds of the Cabinet, cordially en
dorsing, and never dissenting from, all
that was said and done. Of course, to
reach this conclusion it is necessary to
discredit all the *iota developed by Sen
atgr Wilson, and Judge Back wipes
them out by a broad, sweeping denial.
Between Senator Wilson and Judge
Black there is thus a direct fissue—the
former maintaining Stanton's • loyalty,
the latter asserting his complicity with .
treason. Senator Wilson has an ad
vantage in Stanton's subsequent ener
getie devotion to the Government and
his intense hatred of the Rebellion and
all concerned in it. Nor will the coun
try hesitate which witness to believe.
Judge Black has no reason to feel sore.
He practically espoused the cause of
traitors by proclaiming, as the law of
ficer of the Government, that it was
powerless to prevent its own destruc
tion. When Secession ripened. into
Rebellion, and during the whole pro
gress of the War, he took no pains to
conceal his sympathies: Had the Re
bellion succeeded, he would have been
duly honored by triumphant traitors.
•lt is, he should not complain. that a
loyal people hold him to his record.—
In.. the Galaxy article, while Judge
Black has a kind word to say for
Toucey, Cobb, Thompson and other
traitors, he exhausts the vocabulary of
malignancy to express hit intense ha
tred of the Republican party and all
who helped to save the Government.
THE colored people of Baltimore had
a grand demonstration on the. 19th
inst., in honor of the adoption of the
15th Amendment. The procession was
large and imposing, about 10,000 per
sons being in line, while probably 10,-
000 more lined the sidewalks. Dele
gations were present from other cities
and numerous towns, many of the
clubs and organizations carrying hand
some banners, and making a fine dis
play of regalia and uniform peculiar to
many of the associations. The proces
sion halted in Monume:nt Square,
where a Mass Meeting was held, ad
dressed by Frederick Douglas, John
M. Langston, Sella J. Martin, George
T. Downing, (all colored,) and by Poet
master General Cresswell, Judge Bond,
Horace Maynard, Gen. Heath, and
other prominent Republicans. It was
a gala day among the colored people,
the
: houses of the wealthier class being
gaily decorated with flags and ever
greens, and brilliantly illuminated at
night. Every thing passed off qi!letly,
the Police being out in strong force
and promptly squelching all attempts
by negro-phobiaists to give trouble.

READOIS MIPAZIIIOLDIT 01 DAZOTA,
s T , 'Any, Mimi.. April 27 .
Gen. W. T. Sherman, commanding Army ef the
United States, Wcuihington, .D. C:
General—Your letter has been received
detailing the reasons the President gives
why my claims to a more important com
mand should not be regarded.
I intended by my despatch to ask for a
Division if the existing Divisions were all
continued ; otherwise for the Department
of the Missouri, if changes made it practi
cable, not as a favor, but as a claim to a
command to which I thought my rank en
titled me.
As the President leads me to believe that
because I have not hit personal sympathy
my preferences for command will not be
regarded, notwithstanding my rank, I shall
not again open the snkect, but will add, in
conclusion, that I thinklt L an unfortunate
precedent to astablish that military rank in
time of peace, especisty in the assignment
of general officers to commands of Divls
lons and Departments, shall not have the
consideration hitherto wuceded to IL
I am, very respeetfilly, your obedient
servant, WINIrIiCID B. HANOOOX,
Major General D. B. A
_The above correspondence has been
copied from the telegrams and letters on
the in the War Department, and it will be
perceived that the following words, recent
ly attributed to General Sherman, do not
appear in the letter of Cs gentlemen:
Lam requested by tie President to in
form you Ibdt there is uniting in your per
sonal relations to General Grant, or in your
official relations to hio Administration,
that can justify your Viromotion now, or
lead you to expect It thavafter.
The reference in Gerieral liherman's let
ter to the "relations" wilch General Han
cock "chose to assume toward him [the
President) officially and privately," and ab
solving the President hem regarding Gen
eral Hancock's personal preferences, is
thus explained. At the ilme the reconstruc
tion acts were put in 'emerallon General
Hancock was transferred from the Depart
ment of the Missouri to the District of Lou
isiana, and General Grist, as General in-
Chief, modified or revoked one of Genev!
Hancock's orders, 'to which the latter took
airong persottal exceptiola. Shortly after,
by order of the Prealditor t : General I:Dia z
cock was assigned to the command of the
Division of the Atlantic, and came to
Washington. He went to General Grant's
headquarters, and instead of calling upon
him personally simply registered his name,
which was unusual if not disco_nrieons.
General Grant, having no knowledge or
apprehension that General Hancock was
offended with him, meeting him on the
street shortly afterwards, accosted him In a
friendly way, "Goal morning, General
Hancock." To ibis General Hancock made
no verbal response, but merely touched his
hat and passed on. Some time subsequent
the two met at a wedding party, when Gen
eral Hancock turned his back to him.
General Grant was also informed that Gen
eral Hancock had boasted of his discourtesy
to him In the street. When General Han
cock used language which was considered
disrespectful and insubordinate to his
superior officer. General Hancock is now
a major general in command of a depart
ment. When General Thomas died tnere
were lett four major generals. Halleck,
who had been on the Pacific coast, and had
served out a term of dray ; Meade, who
was offered the command as sticcessor to
Thomas, but without change of rank, pre
ferred, remaining in Philadelphia. Thus
the choice lay between Hancock and &he
field. The matter was submitted to the
President, who simple directed that Scho
field should be sent to the Pacific; leaving
Hancock just where he was, namely, in
command of one of the most • important
military departments of tie country.
Asrriturrioa.t. Pitantam.—There 1s a
will on file In the once of Register of Wills
of Lancaster county that has set the Execu
tors to ciphering. It contains in substance
the following clause:
"I give the sum of $1,269 96 to my four
children, to be divided among them in such
sums, as each will haie equal sums, upon
arriving at the age of,twenty-ime years.—
Distribution to be made April Ist, 1870.
The ages of the children, April Ist, 1870 :
Bustin, 2L years ; Joseph, 19 years, 15 days ;
John, 16 years, 5 months, 26 days; Jonas,
10 years, 11 months, 18 days."
The auditor, in making a distribution or
the estate, was required to ascertain what
amount was due to each child on tie Ist of
April, 1870. Such of our ruder' as are
fond of tough arithmetical questions may
exercise their ingenuity on this.

Now that the religious convictions of Hr.
Lincoln are being so generally discussed,
everybody seems disposed to bring up every
trifle-in evidence pro or con. Having my
mite to offer in proof that be was not an
unbeliever in Christianity, I take this op
portunity of doing so, though, as will be
seen, It is only a mite :
"Soon after the war began, while milli eg
on Mrs. Speed, of Louisville, Ky., mother
of .11121431 Speed, ex. Luorney General, I
noticed a cabinet sized photograph of Mr.
Lincoln hanging in the parlor. Beneath
the photograph was wriuen "To Mrs.
Martha Speed, from whoa I received an
•
Oxford Bible thirty, years ago;" It was
signedl "Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States," and on inqury Ms. Speed
told me it was sent to her almost Immedi
ately after his Inauguration. This shows
that Mr. Lincoln not only considered the
present, one of value, but cue oue deserving of
being itukably acknoa !edged- by the dis
tractedconditton of the connuy following
his first election, and when his remember
ing a gift bestowed so many years back was
in itself. remarkable circumstance.
Mr. Lincoln gave the following amount
of the first announcentent of the Emanci
pation Proclamation in Cabinet meeting.
He Bald be read it through and there was
a dead silence. Presently Mr. Chase s t poke.
He said he liked all but so and 'so, instanc
ing a clause ; then some one else made an
objection, and then another, until all had
said something. Then the President said,
"Gentlemen, this reminds me of the story
of a min who bad been away from home,
and when he was coming back was met by
one of his farm hands who greeted him af
ter this fashion : 'Master, the little pigs are
dead, and the old sow's dead too, but I
didn't like to tell you all at once.' " In
answer to some remarks which were made
to him when Mr. Chaise was proposed as a
candidate for the Presidency in opposition
to himself, be observed jocosely, "Oh, it
don't disturb me in the least. I think I
shall ran till better for It. I never knock

A newts by hydropliobia, under singula r
and very distressing circumstances, occurred
at Yonkers, New York, on Tuesday morn
ing week. An engineer by the name of
Thomu Lamb, was bitten in January last
by a large dog belonging to Mr. Bergen, at
his brewery in Dobb's Ferry. Although
Lamb's band was not much !accreted by the
dog, and no anxiety was felt as regards any
merlons consequences arising from the bite,
the dog, a very valuable-one, however, was
killed by Mr. Bergen.. On Tuesday of last
week young Lamb was ntarried, and on the
day after the wedding the husband showed
symptoms of hydropbobia,and two physici
ans were immediately sent for, and their
treatment for a while seemed to have good
effect ; but subsequently Lamb sprang from.
his bed and Zed to the woods, where be
jumped over fences and barked like a dog.
Some of his friend", aided by the police,
captured him, and he was taken back to his
home, where his ravings, barking, and
hideous noises were of the most agonizing
character. At an early hour on Tuesday
morning lamb died.
