From Washbigton,
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19th.L-The Sub-Com
mittee on Reconstruction, appointed on
Saturday to report some additional guaran
tees to be required from the State of Ten
nessee in the event of her admission,
this morning to the General Com
mittee.
They require amongst other things, that
Tennessee shall repudiate the rebel debt.,
Mr. Boutwell submitted a minority re
port, extending the right of suffrage without
Alistinction of color.
Upon these questions an extended debate
took place,and, without coming to any defi
nite Conclusion, the committee adjourned to
meet to-morrow morning.
It is doubtful whether the committee will
adopt the suffrage clause. The other sug
gestions will undoubtedly be adopted.
A special meeting of the Cabinet was
called this morning.
It is said that the President, to-day, for
the first time, submitted his veto message
on the Freedmen's bill to the Cabinet.
The order of Gen. Grant, requiring all de
partment commanders to send to Head
quarters all newspapers uttering disloyal
sentiments, will exert a most salutary in
fluence, and put a stop to treasonable utter
ances, in future, North and South.
The Freedmen's Bill.
There was a Cabinet meeting at 10 o'clock,
to-day, and no visitors were admitted up
stairs. Meantime the report prevails that
the business for which the President called
them together has reference to the amenda
tory Freedmen's bill.
It seems, from present appearances, that
Congress and the country will not much
longer be kept in doubt as to his action on
that measure.
The Richmond Examiner.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—1 t is known that
on Saturday night Lieut. Gen. Grant re
fused to revoke the order suppressing the
Richnaond Jacantiner, expressing himself in
decided terms against the publication of a
certain class of articles in Southern papers
as calculated to do irremediable mischief,
On Sunday, however, Mr. Pollard was
officially informed by an officer of Gen.
Grant's staff, that tbe order would be re
voked. The course of that paper will in fu
ture be less liable to objection.
General Grant will, however, take care
that no newspaper shall be published con
taining sentiments of disloyalty and hostility
to the Government in any of its branches.
and the publication of articles calculated to
keep up a hostile fceling between the people
of different sections of the country will not
be tolerated.
The circular to this effect dated Feb. 17th,
is addressed to Department Commanders,
who are required to give' such information
- with a view to the suppression of newspa
pers of that character.
There is no distinction as to North or
South.

CE IN THE RIVERS AT NEW YORK.
Local; :Navigation's and rlts = Perils --I
Ferryboats Blockaded by Immense
Fields of Ice—Passengers
Detained for Hours in the
River—Accidents
and Incidents.
The immense quantifies of ice which
have been floating in the East and North
rivers for the past three days have made
navigation across them a matter of more
peril than pleasure. During the early part
of last week the weather was so mild that
the ice in the Hudson, and in many of
the coves and bays of the Sound, was
broken up and drifted out into the
channel, and brought down to our harbor
by the ebb tides. The rising tides
would then return covered with the ice,
and send it dashing and crashing
against the wharves and against the ship
ping ferry-boat, and tug-boats that were ex
posed to the current of the stream. Ships
that were anchored in the river were towed
into the docks to save them from the masses
of floating ice, although in one instance at
least this precaution did not prove of any
avail, as the Bremen ship Energie, lying at
the foot of Dock street on the Brooklyn side,
was struck by a large quantity of ice on
Friday night and sunk. One of her sides
was completely stove in, andshe filled with
water so rapidly that it was foundimpossi
ble to remove any of her cargo, which con
sisted of cotton, tobacco, and staves, and
was insured in Bremen for $35.000. '
Several boats were taken: from their
anchorage by the ice and carried adrift to
Bedloe's Island, and one nearly as . far as
Cornmunipaw, on the New Jersey shore.
Two vessels, the Spanish frigates Isabella
Catolica dhd Carmen, lying at anchor in the
North River, were hard - pushed by the lee
and brought in collision with each other, by
the force of which the Isabel had her bow
sprit carried away. Despite the greatest
efforts made by the sailors to "detach the
vessels from the ice, the vessels were forced
so far down the bay before this was accom
plished that they were only brought to a
safe anchorage after reaching Quarantine.
People living in Brooklyn, Williamsburg,
Jersey City and Hoboken, and doing busi
ness in this city, experienced the greatest
inconvenience from the ice floating in the
rivers. Many of the ferry-boats found much
difficulty in crossing to and from the city.
and very long tries were necessarily the
order of the day. On Friday evening a
gentleman, accompanied by his wife and
daughter, took passage on board a Williams
burg ferry-boat for this city. It was about
6 o'clock, and he was desirous of reaching
Winter Garden by the time the play would
commence. After leaving the dock the boat
moved up the stream, then down the river,
then back towards the Navy Yard, then
again up the stream, until in fact two hours
was occupied in this way. The boat was
finally run alongside a dock in the vicinity of
Market slip,and the passengers landed. When
the gentlemen reached the theatre it was
nearly 9i o'clock. A Hunter's Point boat
which started from the foot of Tenth street
at 6 o'clock on Friday evening, did not reach
Hunter's Point until 1 o'clock on Saturday
morning, and the pilot experienced the
greatest diffiiculty in preventing the ice
from rushing against the boat. On Satur
day the boats from Hunter's Point were
obliged to land their passengers at the slip
which was completely blocked up with ice.
In consequence of the delay experienced,the
passengers, many of whom were mechanics,
desirous of reaching their shops by 7 o'clock
in the morning, suffered much inconveni
ence, and were unable to be at their posts
until an hour or two later.
The Williamsburg boats—only part of
which were Xtmning—seemed almost utterly
demoralized by the floating ice. They at
tempted to make their trip as regularly as'
usual, but their attempt proved a sorry
failure. Some of them were detained, ice
bound in the river, while in a number of
instances they were compelled to return to
their slips on the Williamsburg side and
land their passengers who were of opinion
that any landing on terra firma was better
than none. Owing to this,hundreds of per
sons were obliged to wait for hours on the
other side before they could get across to
this, a fact which proved that the East
River (and not Jordan) in this instance was a
hard road to travel. Three of the South
Seventh street boats were laid up t and the
Grand street, Houston street, Division ave
nue, and Catharine street Ferry boats made
trips only at irregular intervals. Frequently
these boats were obliged to put back into
their slips after starting, owing to the fact
that on leaving the slips and moving into
the stream extensive fields of ice would
make their appearance, and drive them
back to their landings for safety. Two of
the Catharine Ferry boats—the Exchange
and the Brooklyn—had their yokes carried
away, and the Hamilton and America, of
the Fulton Ferry, lost their rudders and
were laid up for repairs.
On Saturday morning several of the Fulton
Ferry boats were unable to get into their
ships on this side, in consequence of the
mass of ice which blockaded the ships.
The passengers,
who were very impatient,
prevailed upon the officers of the boats to
land them by means of step-ladders, which
were placed upon the ice, over which the
passengers made their way to the docks,
and thus reached the ferry-honse. Notwith
standing this was effected with considerable
danger, the passengers were all landed
without any accident occurring to any one.
The Wall street and South street boats
experienced the same difficulty, one of the
former being obliged to make a detour near
to Governor's Island before she could reach
her Brooklyn slip. It was reported that
one of the Hoboken boats had been sunk by
the ice during Friday night; bat this report
had no foundation. In fact, the boats of the
Jersey ferries made their trips almost with
their accustomed regularity, although the
river was full of great masses of ice.
Yesterday , the boats of the various ferries
experienced much trouble in crossing the
rivers; but on account of the small amount
of passengers on board, who werenot in
such a hurry as those who cross on week
days, the delays did not work so much in
convenience, notwithstanding they were
very perplexing.
John Collins, William Etheridge, James
Donovan, George Ifdanagan and John
Hanly, who left Bergen Point in a small
boat for Staten Island, came near being
swamped by the ice. They were entirely
surrounded by the ice, and their boat ac
actually became locked in the turbulent
frozen mass. A signal of distress was
hoisted. A number of steamers came near
them but made no* effort to relieve them
until the Red Jacket came up and took them
onboard. The men were nearly frozen,
and said that they must have perished in a
short time if they had not been rescued' at
he time. -

GREAT SNOW STORM IN INDIANA.—One
of the severest snow storms that has ever
visited' Indiana, says the New Albany
Commerial, of Thursday, occurred in the
northern part of this State yesterday. Many
trains were delayed, others were prevented
from leaving, and a general breaking up
of travel occurred. Despatches received by
Mr. Masten, Superintendent of the L. N. A.
ct. C. Railroad, indicate that the - storm is
hardly surpassed by that which visited this
State two years ago. A train which left La
Fayette yesterday morning, when twenty
miles south of Michigan City, wag snowed
in and stopped. The freight train from
Michigan City, yesterday morning, was
snowed in at Francesville. The mall train,
due at La Fayette at 1.10 P. M. yesterday,
bad not arrived at Francesville last night at
10 o'clock. The freight train bound north
from Bloomington, is now snow-bound
south of Corwin. The Greencastle train is
detained at La Fayette on account of a
heavy snow. The mail train which should
have left La Fayette yesterday afternoon, at
four o'clock, could not leave, and all trains
north of La Fayette have been abandoned.
The mail train that left here yesterday
morning is snowed in at Crawfordsville.
FEMALE COMPOSITORS.—The Montgomery
Daily Advertiser says of female eompositors:
We have now five young ladies, in addition
to six male compositors, regularly employed
on this paper. Four of these female appren
tices have been learning the art for about
a month, and the fah has only come in
within the last week. The four set up an
average each of over 2,000 per day, making
for themselves $1 20. One of them, how
ever more forward than the rest, sets up as
much as 3,000 per day, thus making $1 80
for herself. The whole set up about three
columns of the reading matter which appears
in the paper daily, These young ladies are
of the first respectability, occupy an apart
ment to themselves, superintended by a
competent male compositor, and are punc
tual and regular in attendance.
THE BRIDGES OVER THE WISSAHICKON.—
The bridge over the Wissahickon at Conrad's
lane has been completed and is now ready
for travel. Workmen are now engaged upon
the bridge near Heft's Mill, and it is ex
pected that all the bridges that were de
stroyed by the flood last summer will be
repaired or rebuilt in the course of the pre
sent month.—Manayunk New Era.

Strong. Disapproval of the. Freed-
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA 1866.
The President's vets message on the
Freedmen's Bill has just been received.
It is very elaborate, covering Upwards of
thirty pages of foolscap.
He is opposed to the bill in every shape
and form. He believes many of the fea
tures 'unconstitutional, and says that no
such legislation for the South' ought to be
adopted 'while the Southern States are tm
represented.-
He thinks there is too much appointing
power in the bill confided to the President.
He enters into a full discussion' f his 're
construction policy,and thiram the Southern
Representatives ought to be admitted, •iitc.
