XXXIXth Congress---Ist Sessioni,
Congress reassembled on the tith inst:
Little save the:presentation of petitions
and memorials, and the adoption 01 a lew
simple resolutions of inquiry, was done
in the Senate.
In the House, bills were introduced '
as follows : To dispose of lands in the
rebellious States for homesteads ; to e. -
tablish a Railroad between Washington
and New York ; to grant additional
bounties to soldiers who enlisted early
in the war; and several resolutions as
follows : one declaring that the national
forces shall not be withdrawn from the
South until Congress -shall deem their
presence there unnecessary ; and one
of inquiry into the kidnapping of a child
of an American lady by Maximillan,-ot
Mexico. A bill denouncing polygamy
as the twin relic of barbarism, and pledg
ing the power of the Government to its
extinction, passed.
Little business was done on the 'Ali.
There was -a passage at-arms in the
House between Voorhees, of Indiana;
and Bingham, of Ohio, 'Mr. Voorhees
made a speech endorsing President
Johnson's policy of reconstruction, 'in
terpreting it, of course, as incalqisi
amnesty and forgiveness to treason.
SENATE. Jan. 10. A memorial: of I
colored citizens of Savannah, asking
for suffrage, was presented. A bill Was
introduced to increase-the regular army.
There are to be seven regiments of :ar
tillery, ten of cavalry, and sixty of •in
fantry, 4f the new regiments, one of
artillery,s-two of cavalry, and tea of
infantry shall be colored persons. The
cavalry and artillery_ are to be organized
as at present, and all the infantry regi
ments are to be organized on the basis of
ten companies each. Part of these last
are to be composed of men who have
been disabled in battle, and will ,be
officered by officers of the Veteran Re
serve Corps. , Several departments are.
'reorganized, and the signal department
is made a part of the regular organiza
tion. The bill :to regulate the elective
franchise in the Distirict of ColuMbia
was taken up and amended, and then
sent back to the committee. - A resolu
tion declaring that provisional govern
ments were necessary fer the wan ts'and
necessities of the lately rebellious States
was offered and debated, but no result
was arrived at. ,
HOUSE. Jan. 10. Resolutions were
offered expressing the confidence of the
House in the' President, and calling for
information why Jeff Davis and others
are held in confinement. A bill was
introduced to punish eounterfeiting.with
death. A long debate ensued on the
bill granting the right of suffrage to
colored persons in the District or Co
lumbia.
Congress did little on the 11th. lii
the Senate, Jude Howe, of Wisecinsin,
offered a resolution for the appointment
of Provisional governments for the
Southern States, upon whiCh Senator
Johnson made silong speech.
In the House the bill to extend suff
rage to negroes in the District of COlum
bia was taken up, when Mr. Rogers : of
New Jersey essayed a long composition
intended to show that the Deelaration
of Independence was drawn 8y as big

WASHINGTON, Jan ; 10.
The President to-day transmitted to
the Senate a message in reply to a reso
lution calling upon him to inform- that
body upon what charges Jefferson,Davis

to trial. .
The President encloses reports from
the Secretary of War and Attorney
General, and at the same time invites
the attention of the Senate to that por

to Congress the question connected with

the best place to emigrate to. We re
ply in accordance with a well ascertain
ed law of nature, that no man should

A man born on parallel 42° and living
there for thirty-three years, will not be
apt to enjoy himself, either mentally or
physically, many hundred miles north

Of course our correspondent will say

-the ground that he was hot acquainted

ruffian drew a bowie knife and was pre

a revolver, and leveled it at the villain's
head. This constrained the intended as
