'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

ferred to exempt certain property from at
tachment and forced sales on execution for
twelve months.
A minority report declaring the secession
ordinance null and void was discussed and
referred.

Feniania.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—C01. O'Mahony, in
a card, denounces as untrue the rumor that
he was about to dismiss EBB: n, and de
clares that he considers the latter worth
more th the Brotherhood and to Ireland
than the whole so-called Senate together.
The Herald's Toronto special despatch
says that reports from an English detective
at Pittsburgh states that General Sweeney's

Canada about the middle of Marc, with a
small force, and strike New Brunswick, via

by the explosion.of a neW rifle, which he
was examining.. The wound is not serious,
and did not prevent his attending the recep_

night for Washington.
The Cibinet.
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.",

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.
