The Latest Important News,
Day dawns ! Congress and the
President arc about to harmonize!—
The Constitutional Amendment the
basis of Reconstruction. Suffrage
without regard to race or color to loy
al men. Leading rebels disfranchised.
The Senate iu session all Saturday
night. -Senator Shortnan's substitute
for Stevens's bill adopted Sunday
morning, yeas 29, nays 10. Tho Pitts
burg Co.nonercial of yeaterdity says :
"The proceedings in Congress and
the news from Washington in general,
touching the question of reconstruc
tion, are of the highest importance.—
A complete reconciliation of Congress
and the President is on the point of
consummation. Tho President grace
fully, and with apparent sincerity,
yields everything.
The plan to be adopted provides for
dividing the rebel States into military
districts, which, until civil govern
ments are restored, will be governed
by military commanders designated
by the President. The Constitutional
Amendment is to be the basis for re
storing civil governments; all male
persons of proper age, without regard
to race or color, are to be voters from
the start, and whenever a State shall
thus reorganize and elect representa
tives they aro to bo admitted to seats
in Congress.
It goes to the bottom of and com
prehends the entire business. It em
braces every essential idea for which
Congress has contended, and in some
respects goes even further - than a ma
jority at ono time would have insisted
on going. In brief, it inflicts a penal
ty for treason, secures equal suffrage,
disfranchises leading rebels, repudiates
the rebel, and makes sacred the federal
debt. And to all this, it is almost ab
solutely certain, the President gives
his assent; to insure restoration on a
plan giving efFect to these great ideas
and precious principles, he will cor
dially co-operate with Congress. If it
shall be carried through—of which
there now seems to be every probabil
ity—then indeed, as in former periods
in our recent history, when times were
darkest, will the nation 'out of this
nettle, danger, pluck - this flower safe
ty.' . _
"That the House of Representatives
will concur in the action of the Senate,
there can scarcely.be any doubt,"
CONORESSAND THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
—The indications aro that the South
ern people will have to submit to se
verer measures now than would have
been forced upon them a year ago had
they shown a proper inclination to ac
cept the best terms of recoastruetion
then offered them. Time and discus
sion has not created any greater sym
pathy for the unfortunate people of tho
South than existed at the close of the
war. The rebel leaders then are rebel
leaders now, and it was not alone the
"President's fault that treason was not
made odious at the proper time. Prom
inent Republican leaders were among
the first to ask fur pardon for those
most prominent in the rebellion—the
most guilty of treason. Delay has
made rebels hopeful—has made them
impudent—has given them strength
for further mischief. The most Radi
cal measures may now fail to bring
peace and prosperity to an unfortunate
people.
TUE FORTIETII CommEss.—The period
for tho opening of the session of the
fortieth Congress is fast approaching:
Heretofore the new Congress met on
LllO beginning.of December, following
the expiration of the term of service
of the old one, but this itiw was chang
ed some weeks ago, and the now Con-
gross directed to meet on the sth of
March, the day succeeding the out go
ing of the old body. By this arrange
ment, Congress becorneS perpetual,
having the power to remain in session
constantly, or to adjourn from time to
time, as its convenience may suggest
or, the exigencies of the public service

Whether tlie coming Congress will
take up whore the old one loaves off on
the reconstruction plans, and hasten
on the work we leave for time to do.
terrain°. The probabilities are that it
will be some time before the new mem
bers can understand the reins of the
many drivers.
TILE gre'zit curse of the present day
is the quiet endorsement by the mass
es of parties of every action of party
leaders. When the people, irrespective
of party, determine to act for their own
interest, independent of the dictation
of corrupt politicians, we may expect
a return to honest legislation and bet
tor time. Parties are very proper in
their place at the right time, but the
people, the mass of voters, should not
allow leaders to make bad use of
them. With very few exceptions, every
party organ in the State,endorses every
act, right or wrong, of their party lead.

tol,Tho.ateainer Swatara hay arriv•

• DURING tho past week. Congress has
been active. The House of Represen
tatives decreed by overwhelming ma
jorities that the following things shall
bo done:
1. All the Southern States shall be
put under martial law.
2. All the negroes in the Southern
States, over twenty-one years of age,
shall bo admitted to the suffrage.
3. All the whites in the Southern
States who had anything to do with
the rebellion shall be excluded from
voting.
Of course before these decrees be
come laws they must also pass the
Senate and be approved by the Presi
dent, or carried over his head by a
two-third vote.
In more than half the Southern
States the negroes over twontyrone
out-number two to one the whites who
have taken na part in the rebellion
as a necessary consequence, tho politi
cal power of those States will (if the
above decrees pass into law,) rest sole
ly and exclusively in the bands of the
negroes.
What then ? Will the whites sub
mit—or will they again face the bayo
nets of the military placed over them
to enforce the decrees of Congress.

THE Philadelphia Telegraph is con
sidering the question "how to purify
the corruption at Harrisburg." It
starts out with the following statement
of the case :
"If any of' our readers have had oc
casion to visit Harrisburg during a
session of the Legislature, they will re
member the mysterious beckonings
into corners, the whispered questions
as to what he wants 'put through,' and
the assurance - that it can be dono 'if
ho will only make it all right.' If
there is anything calculated to disgust
our honest men with government, it
is a visit to that centre of small corrup
tion, and an- interview. with the job
bers and lobbyists who throng the
halls of legislation. There is no use of
pretending virtuous indignation, nor
yet of shutting our oyes against that
which, however much to be regretted,
exists. What we now need is a reme
dy, and a remedy which will be effec
tive and permanent is a dilficult mat
ter to secure."
The Telegraph thinks a remedy may
bo found by increasino the number of
[Panthers of the LegislAtura, thus ma
king the purchase of a 'majority too
expensive to to extensively practised.
This is practical, certainly
A CURIOUS RaVOLT.—It Will be ob
served that Senator Conness, of Cali
fornia, waxed exceedingly wrath the
other day with Senator Sumner, of
Massachusetts. After -some remarks
. of Mr. Sumner charging the Senate
with cowardice, Mr. Conness retorted
by saying that he was "tired of the
whip of this leader of-the Senate—that
ho was determined no longer to submit
to Mr. Sumner's. lash," and so on. E
is odd that 4r. Conness, who is a
plucky man as well as a Radical Re
publican, should dare to talk in this
style. It shows a want of that subor
dination to authority which is so beau
tiful in youth. It endangers his being

Cowan, Doolittle and Dixon. Perhaps,
he did not consider that view of the
case. - He will, doubtless, have occa

through.

mystified to the verge of madness, by
the contradictory reports and rumors
that find their way into print concern

Gen. Grant would issue a daily bulle

to protect the people against swind

ARM ! ARM TO THE RESCUE 1
Call for a State Temperance
Convention.
Intemperance is running away with
the nation, It is estimated that sixty
thousand die 'annually, one hundred
thousand go to•prison, one hundred thou
sand to the alms-house, five hundred
murders and four hundred suicides are
committed every year, through this fed
appetite for drink. What a fearful re
cord of crime and death! What un
told misery, disorder and discord, woe
and weeping, attendant upon such a
record!
Earth has no ambition that is not
ongulphed by it, .nor hope that is not
blasted; no tie that is not broken ; no
sanctuary that is not invaded; no kins
man, friend, brother, wife or child that
is not forgotten ; and no fibre-of hu

has created no mind that can safely
challenge combat with the appetite.

more substance, and ruins soul as well

stead of wearing itself out as they do,
or of growing weak with age, this
giant of Intemperance but grows the
stronger and more active, spreading ,
everywhere in its track, wounds and
tears, death and perdition.
To suppress such an evil must be the
highest philanthropy. If Peter the

And to devise measures for the de

the flood-gates, and remove from our
surviving kindred and fellow-country
men the sources of temptation, we, the

week, published an accotint of 3 sleigh
ing party of ladies and gentleman
from St. Clair having been attacked
on the mountain, as they were going
from that place to Mahoney city, and
robbed. The Journal said : It may
seem increditable, but it is positively
stated that. the robbers stripped the
occupants of the sleigh of their cloth
ing, leaving noting but the undercloth
ing of the women and the buffalo robes
that were in the sleigh. The:robbers
compelled them to turn back and re
turn to St. Clair. .It.now appears that
the sleigh party consisted of several
gay married men, out with female
companions on a spree. The high way
men were their wives with a number
of friends, who, in male disguise, thus
sought and obtained revenge:

Feb 13- 7 -Wo have had a day of un
usual excitement, and interest in the,
House, with resulta , of corresponding
importance. The bill to put all the
Southern States nutter military law
was up for final action, One great ob•
potion to the bill was that it contain
ed no plan whatever fir the restora
tion of civil authority or for the resto
ration of the Southern States to the
Union. This objection Mr. Bingham,
of Ohio, attempted to supply. He had
prepared an amendMent, providing
that whenever the Constitutional
Amendment should become valid and
be adopted by any Southern State,
and whenever such State should scours
universal suffrage to all its people,
then it should be admitted to repre
sentation ; until that should be done
the States should he under martial
law, as provided by the main section
of the bill. Mr. Stevens refused to per
mit this amendment to be offered, and
moved the previous question. The
Houk) voted that motion down by a
large majority. Mr. Bingham then
made an earnest and eloquent speech
in support of his amendment. The
Radicals opposed it on the ground
that it would allow men who had been
in rebellion to vote. Mr. Bingham ad
mitted it, and said it admitted all to
vote, but not to hold office. After
some debate the previous question
was moved on the motion to recommit
the bill, for the purpose of inserting
those amendments, and that motion
was sustained. The Democrats had
most of them, op to this time, voted
with the friends of the amendment,but
on the next cote they changed, and
thus threw the power into the hands
of its opponents., Themotion to re
commit was lost and the bill then
passed on the gallop. The Demoerate
thus succeeded in excluding the great
mass of the whites in all the Southern
States from voting and in admitting
all the blacks. As this was the dis
tinct issue presented for their action,
the Louisiana bill will undoubtedly be
made the model for the new Govern
ments in all the South, and it will
give four or five of the Southern States
to the absolute control of the blacks.
The Southern people have the Demo
oafs to thank for this result, and they
console themselves by thinking that
they.did not, commit themselves to the
amendments. The vote on the pas
sage of the bill was; ayes 109, noes 55,
lacking ono of two-thirds. Thirteen
Republicans voted against the bill, as
follows : Baker, of Illinois; Banks
and Baldwin, of Massachusetts; Davis,
of Kentucky; Defrees, of Indiana;:
Dodge, of New York ; Hawkins, of
Tennessee ; Kelso, of Missouri; Kuy
kendall, of Illinois ;
Raymond, of Now
York; Stillwell, of Indiatia; Francis

Strange Occurrence--A House Blown
to Pieces in Alleglieny—A Series of
Gas Explosions—Loss of Life.
The Pittsburg Gazette of 'Thursday
last says : A strange and startling
accident, attended with fatal results,
occurred yesterday afternoon at about
ono o'clock, in the First ward, Alle
gheny. Mr. Samtiel Bradley, propri
etor of Bradley's Woolen Mill, on the
river bank_ in Allegheny, has been
building a new frame house on Dar
ragh street, in the First ward, and the
building is but just completed, having
received the finising . strokes on Mon
day of the present week.
The house was rented to Mr. Wm.
Barker, Jr.,a son-in-law of Mr. Brad
ley's. and M. B. had removed a por
tion of his furnitnri3 into the building
on Saturday, and the servants and a
part of the family have been engaged
.in __,.*letting the house "to rights."
Yesterday, at the time mentioned,
there was nobody in the house with
the exception of Miss Bradley, Mrs.
Barker's sister, who was in . the sitting
room with dr. Barker's little boy,
Samuel, a child of three years and five
months, andat servant girl who was up
stairs. Miss Bradley had just placed
the littleboy in a rocking chair. in
front of the fire, atid .had turned to
leave the room; when a frightful exple
sion occurred, which knocked her
down and rendered her temporarly in
sensible.- When she recovered hor
senses a moment afterwards she was
lying in a corner of the room, among
what seemed the fragments of the
whole houSe. 'Her first thought was
for the child, and she discovered him
lying half enveloped in the torn carpet
iu adistant part or Ole room, whore he
had been thrown from the chair by the
foreo of the explosion. The child:was
apparently dead; though no bruises or
cuts appeared on his body.. As soon
as he could be extricated, be was han
ded out of the window and removed to
a room in the Woolen factory where
he immediately received everyatten:
tion. ,Drs. Rankin-and-Thorne wore
almost immediately at the'plaoe, and
were unremitting in their efforts to re-;
have the little sufferer. Ile Was feund

tion of a large adount Of the gas libera
ted thereby. Ills condition was very
critical for
.some time, butfor a time
he seemed to getiW , better. Towards'
evening he began to sink, and at half-'
past eight
,o'clock he expired. INliss
Bradley escaped with only temporary . !
indisposition.
The house was reduced to a perfect
wreck by the mysterious explosion.
The floor of the sitting room which
Miss B: and the child were in, was torn
j literally to pieces, and cast in a pile,of
rubbish at one. side of the apartratitife
How the lady and child . could have a
been, throWn among such collection
of debris without serious injury, is a
mystery only to be accounted for :by
the fact that the carpet partially coy
ered the splintered boards anti JoistS.'
The walls of the room were shattered ;
as was also the cOnsidera
ble extent, while little of the furnitut'e
escaped complete wreck. The parlor
across the hall shared the same fate.
A magnificent piano in this room was
thrown upon its end,. but was found
not to have sustained material damage.
All the other rooms on the first floor
were wrecked in the general ruin The
front portion of the hi:Mee was forced
far out at the botiom, so that tea per
son on the street, the front looked as
if it were leaned'up against the frame
Pieces of the glass, sash and inside
wood-work Were' thrown by the explo
sion across the street. The building is
a complete wreck, there being, appar
ently, no part of the frame which can
be used in the work.,of "reconstruc
tion."
As to the cause of this singular :mei
dent, there is no doubt that the explo
sion was .caused by the gas' bursting
the pipe underground of the cellar, be
neath the sitting room, though as to
the cause producing the explosion
nothing is certainly known. It is eta.
tod that the gas main thereabouts has
been leaking for some time, and that
the proper parties were notified of the
fact when it was first discovered. It
would seem that the liberated gas col
lecting under the frozen surface cif the
ground, had become irrepressible, and
escaped in- this violent manner. Sin
gularly enough, after tbo first explo
sion a constant succession of reports
occurred at intervals of from ten to
twenty minutes. As many as twenty
of these must have occurred during the
afternoon, varying in violence and ta
king place at different points. No ma
terial damage was done by any of them.
Airs. Barker is lying dangerously ill
at the old residence of the'family, on
Robinson Street, and all Icnowledge of
the occurrence is being kept from herr.
A large crowd of course collected
immediately, and the greatest excite
ment prevailed. All sorts of stories
wore started, and fora time it was be
lieved that a number of deaths had re
sulted from the accident.
