Froni Washington. 'Special Despatch to the Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The Ways and Means committee are maturing a bill, which will be reported in a few days, ldok ing to an adjustment of the Canadian reci procity question. Inasmuch as the Canadian officials de clined to accept the Prqposition presented by Mr. Morrill on account of the limited articles in the free list, the Committee have determined to extend that list considerably. It is believed that the Provinces will ac cept the measure. If, however, they refuse them there is little chanceof anything being done. The Indian Committee of both houses were in joint session to-day for the purpose devising a new policy respecting our Indian affairs. The present system is regarded as wholly inadequate, and it is felt that some thing mast be done for these children of the orest. There are efforts on foot to heal the breach between Congress and the President. There are many good men engaged in it. From Texas. GA_LvEsTorr, Feb. 24.—The funeral of the Hon. George W. Smythe was attended by the Convention en masse. A resolution of condolence and respect was adopted.

NEW Yonx, Feb. 27.—The Tribune says editorially: "Those members of the Cabinet (we are informed on good authority) who contemplated resigning their portfolios, have concluded, after consulting with friends, to await the action of the President. They prefer to give him the opportunity of removing them, should he think proper rather than of accepting their resignations. It is not improbable that he will accept the alternative in the case of one of these gen tlemen, in the course of a few days, Such is the expectation at Washington among persons well informed.", Habeas Corpus in Kentucky LOUISVILLE, Feb. 26.—Writs of habeas corpus were issued to-day by Judge Bal lard of the District Court of the Southern States, for the bodies of Captain's Read and Lennon, who were lately fined and com mitted tojailinCampbell county,for the pro tection of the polls at the last election.

SXXLICth Congress—First Session., 44 WASHINGTON, Feb. 26: •-; SENATE.—Mr. Sumner (Mass.) presented. - the petition of the American Equal Rights.; . 7, League of-Philadelphia asking that a repub lican form of government be secured to each State. Referred to the Special Committee of Fifteen. Mr. Wilson (Mass.), from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a resolution expressing the gratitude of the nation to the officers, soldiers and seamen of the United States, which was passed. Mr. Wilson, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill to provide for a uniform system of militia in the United States with slight amendments. Mr. Morgan (N. Y.) introduced a bill which was referred to the Committee on Finance, to exempt from taxation by State or local laws, lands granted to colleges for educational purposes. Mr. Sumner introduced a resolution call ing upon the President for information relating to the appointment of Provisional Governors in the South, under what law they were appointed, how they were paid, whether they took the oath of office, etc. It was passed. Mr. Davis (Ky.) asked that the resolu tion recently offered by him for the ap pointment of a Committee toinvestigate the frauds of the cotton bureau, etc., be taken up M . r. Davis caused to be read a lengthy communication from a former Provost Marshal of Natchez, (Miss.) detgiling a number of alleged cotton frauds coming under his notice in the. Department of the Southwest. HOUSE.-Mr. Newell' (N. J.) presented a joint resolution from the Legislature of New Jersey, in regard to the Veteran Re serve Corps. Mr. Wilson (Iowa) introduced a bill to fix the number of the Judges of the Supreme e .11a Court of the United States, and to nge certain judicial districts. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. • Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) introduced a bill in regard to the fees and costs of clerks, mar shals and attorneys in the courts of the United States. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. The House resumed the consideration of the joint resolution reported yesterday to amend the Constitution. Mr. Rigby (Cal.) spoke in support of the proposed amendment. He did not believe generally in making amend ments, going by very slow degrees to a proper colclusion, nor in making such amendments as ;will occasion division in the public mind; but this amendment would only give effect. and vitality, and life to portions of the Constitution which were intended from the be " g, to have life and vitality, but whi had reoeived a con struction by which they had been entirely ignored. The amendment was reported as coming from the Reconstruction Committee, a com mittee appointed not to have the ower of a star chamber, but to get information and light for Congress and the Executive. He argued that under the fifth clause of the first article of the Constitution, if each branch of the Government were, as the President had intimated, to decide the question of the re admission of members from the rebel States, they would be usurping the power of the Government. The grand and distinctive difference between Congress and the Executive was this—Congr i ess nsisted that it is a work of the Legislature to place the rebel States in the condition of loyal States entitled to representation, whilst the President of the United States insisted there should be no legislation on the subject.
