Sir On the lath the Soldiers' and Sail

caster - assembled to 'attend the Clymer
meeting,' at rteading; and When attcont to
return to the depit to take the care, were
attacked by a disunion :mob, - which
cheered for Geary, and attempted to cap
-tare and destroy the Soldiers' flag. They
were repulsed,: and thrice gather#krein
forcernents and renewed the assault; but
the cowardly sneaks were each time•beat
en by the soldiers.
The negro !outliers will hardly try the
metal of soldier-knuckles of Lancaster
Geary in Kansas.
It will be remembered that John W.
Geary was once Territorial Governor of
Kansas. He was then charged with steal
ing his message to the Legislature, from
a former Governor's message in Massa
chusetts—and the records show that , the
charge was true.
We have before us a copy of the N. Y.
Weekly Tribune of November Ist, 1856,
in which-Geary is arraigned upon much
more serious charges than stealing messa
ges. Among the least of the ohargeare
those of ,vanity, weakness and , treachery.
We will try to make room for the indict

day.

In this county, however, we bear - of no

probability therefore is that,, like 'the

WiIiMINGTON, July 20.
TBIF,%I23SEIC.
The following joint resolution, introduc
ell by dr. B ingham yesterday, and sub
sequently moditied by him, came up in the
Souse this tnorning :
W-heretti, The State of Tennessee has
in 'good faith ratified the articles of amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States proposed by the Thirty ninth Con
ress to the Legislatures of the' fievei,al
Staeit, and has alsolhoWn to the misfile-
tinfre - Mtigreeniliy' a fifiqii.isOrit of
obedience in'the-bady of •her people, her
return to due allegiance to the govern
caws, and, authority oft.he United
States; therefore, be it
Resolved, (tc., 4L-c., That the State of
Tennessee is hereby restored to her for
mer political, proper, practical relations to
.the Union, and is again entitled to be rep
resented by Senators and Representatives
in Congress, duly elected and qualified,
upon taking the oaths required by exis
ting laws.
• Mr. Boutwell, of Mass., endeavored to
get in a substitutefor the above resolution,
requiring the establishment of negro suf
frage in Tennessee, before admitting her
to representation, but Mr. Binghamde
• dined to yield the floor. The question
being taken on the preamble and resolu
tion above recited., it, was decided in the
affirmative—yeas 125, nays 12. The dem
ocratic members, while in favor of the
resolution were opposed to the preamble,
which was inserted as a political trap, for
purely partisan purposes, and the Speaker
Lhavinx decided that a separate vote could
not be had on each, they were compelled
(in order to vote for the admission of the
Tennessee delegation) to adopt the entire
proposition, which nearly all of them did
under protest. The resolution being
joint in its nature, will require the con
lcurrence of the Senate, and the approval
I of the President before it can have any ef
fect. It is, after all, allowing one House
to decide upon the qualifications of mem
bers of the other, contrary to an express
provision in the Constitution of the Uni
ted States.
RECONSTRUCTION BILL KILLED.
The House to day, on motion of Mr.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, tabled the Re-
construction Committee's bill for the ad.
mission of the Southern States to their
full political right's in the Union, on com
plying with certain .conditions therein set
forth, the first and most important of
which was the ratification of the propos
ed constitutional amendment. The me
on the question (96 to 37) was very sig
nificant. The negro suffrage Repubicans
voted to table the measure because its
passage would commit Congress to the
recognition and admission of the South
ern States upon their adoption of the
amendment now pending, which would
prevent them, hereafter from imposing
' the further condition of 'unlimited negro
suffrage,.as now contemplated. TlLeAfg'

and unneessary condition precedent to
the full and complete' restoration of the
Union, and therefore they objected to it
upon principle._
RECESS OF CONGITESS
The goose this afternoon, by a vote of
48 to 75, rejected Mr., Stevens' resolution
providing for a recess of Congress until
the fir4t day of December next, and yes
ting in'the presiding officers of the two
houses'the power of convening Congress
in the meantime.'
Veto of Another Freedmen's Bureau
On Monday of last week the President
returned to the House of Representatives
the, bill extending the Freedmen's Bureau
with - his objections thereto.
Ete considers it inconsistent with the
welfare of the country, and liable to the
same constitutional objections that he
made to a similar measure a few months
ago. He adheres to the principles set
forth in that message, and reaffirms the
position then taken. He opposes
tribunals for the trial of civilians as
provided in the bill, and says the admin
istration of justice by the civil courts is
no longer interrupted in any State in the
Union.
Another ground ofobjection is the ten
dency of agents of the bureau to use it
for promoting their owti interests, as the
recent investigation into its management
has fully shown. After the message had
been read, the question was taken upon
the bill, (the objections of the President
to the contrary notwithstanding,) and it
passed by a vote of 103 to 33. Only
three Republicans (Raymond of New
York, Washberne of Indiana, and Ruyk
endall of Illinois) voted in the negative.
The action of the House was communica
ted to the Senate, and the bill was also
passed by that body by the requisite two
third vote, the same day, and like the
Civil Rights bill, it has become a law.

Who are fot the Union?
On the 7th day of January, •1864, Mr.
Rogers, Democrat of New Jersey, in the
House of Representatives of the United
States, offered,resolutions, declaring that
a State or States, " whenever they shall
" desire to return to the Union, and obey
" the Constitution of the United States
" and laws made in pursuance thereof,
" have a. right to come back ; their laws
"and acts of secession being unconstitu
" Lionel -and void-; that we are for-tho
" most anited, determined, and vigorous
Firo;eention of the W3I , for tbe purpose
' l4 of enforcing the Constitution of the Un
ited States and a resto rationof the Un
ion under the Constitution."
Mr. Stevens Visunionist) moved that
the series of resolutiotes be laid on the ta
ble ; which motion was carried, by a vote
of seventy-eight disanionists—all Repub
licans—to forty-two Unionists—all Dem
ocrats.
[See House Journal, lat . Sessioti, 38th
Congress, page 1 lb.]
What does this vote mean ? 'What
does it assert? What does it. defend ?
It means that the Republicans in Con
gress, and the radical portion of the con
stituency they represent, were in 1864, as
they are in 1866, and will ever be, oppos
ed to the return of any of the rebellions
States to the Union, no matter how sub
missive and repentant they may be ; it
asserts that they (the rebellious States)
have no right to come back, although we
lavished millions of treasure and piled up
whole hecatombs pf lives to compel them
to come back ; it !defends a war, which,
by their votes, they declared should not
be prosecuted tor; the enforcement of the
Constitution and: the restoration of the
• Union. In a word, this vote of the Re
publican party in !Congress proves them
to be secessionists, distmionists and trai
tors.
What else does this vote mean, assert
and defend ? It means that the Demo
crats in Congress, and the conservative
constituencies they repre'ent, were in
1864, as they are in 1866, in favor of the
return to the Union of all the States who
obey the Constitution and the laws; it
asserts that this submission being shown,
they have a right to come back ; and it
defends the war as one which was carried
on for the sole puipose of bringing these
States back under the Constitution, the' .
Union and the Laws.
The Republican disunionists say they
shall not come back ; the Democratic Un
ionists say they shall come back. Geary
represents the Republican disunionists ;
Clymer represents the Democratic Union
ists. Geary represents Stevens, Sumner,
and the " boys in black ;" Clymer repre
sents Johnson, Cowan, and the " boys in
blue." Stevens, Sumner and the " boys
in black" are disunionists—so is Geary ;
JAntson, Cowan, and the "-boys in blue"
are Unionitos—so is Clymer. VOTE

The Anti-Rent Troubles.
ALBANY, July 17.
The anti rent troubles have again br)•
ken out in a serious shape in this country.
Sheriff Fitch, in attempting to, execute a
iep . l process to day, by ejecting Peter
Vt aruer from premises occupied by him,
was roughly handled, his deputies were
beaten, and the anti renters obliged him
and his posse to return, defying theSber
iff to execute any ejectment process. They
'were not disguised, as heretofore.
One hundred men of the Tenth Regi
ment will leave early to morrow mor
ning to inforce the authority of the sher
iff. There is considerable excitement in
the city, and the military armories are
busy places, to night.
The military expedition to the anti rent
district, in the town of Kilos, consisting
of 115 men, detailed from the Tenth Re
giment National Guard, left here at 7.30
s. at., for the seat of war, via, the Sus
quehanna Railroad to Krousers%ille, and
thence by march to the residence off - toter
Wagner, who was to be dispossed. Sher
iff Fitch and his deputies accompanied
the force. The soldiers were fully armed,
and supplied with forty rounds of ammu
nition each. When the train reached
Knowersville, Col. Walker S. Church,
who is the principal party in the interest
against the anti renters, was arrested by
a constable on a charge of au assault and
battery, with a deadly weapon, committed
on a party named in the warrant. A dep
uty sheriff was also arrested on a similar
charge. The prisoners were taken six
miles to find a magistrate, when — they
waived an examination and gave bail to
appear on Thursday next. Two of our
detectives left here to day, with warrents
for the arrest of nineteen persons, who
participated in the assault on the Sheriff
and Li 4 party on Monday.
On arriving at Knowersville they iden
tified three of the persons named in the
warrant,and promptly arrested them, af
ter which they were delivered into the
custody of a military guard. The milita
ry then started for Warner's residence
with skirmishers deployed. All sorts of
rumors were circulated, and a vague im
pression was entertained that the force
might meet opposition. Along the route
they were insulted by men and women,
and were refused even a drink of water.
As orders were issued not to trespass the
men did not enter any place to help them
selves, but pressed forward. The troops
arrived at Warners about two o'clock,
and six additional arrests were made.
Several persons fled and were fired at, but
without effect. The sheriff found War
ner's house closed, and forced the doors
open and removed the furniture into the
road. The soldiers were quartered in the
house, and to morrow will move forward
to sestet iii the mention of. other write.

held forth in the " holier than thou" vein:
Hear what he says;
" It certainly is not pleasant to admit
that in Massachusetts, in its earlier set
Clement, slavery was recognized by law,
and streugthenecl and made permanent
by various enactments. Mr. Moore shows
that the old Puritans not only b,tught and
sold negroes of Africa, but dealt -in the
same way with their Indian captives, and
even, in a limited degree, a ith whites,
who were numbered among the dissent
ers and heretics of the time, or who could
not .pay their debts. It is mortifying
again to remember that Peter Faneall,the
generous giver of the old Crad e of Lib
