; abling aot, or the abt excluding cer
tain classes or. persons from holding

the House until the Senate has acted
upon tbe amendment.
. Tbe House also passed a bill to
amend tho organic acts of the lerri.
tories of Montana, Washington, Idaho,
Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. The
'bill prohibits legislative assemblies
from passing special acts conferring
separate powers, but authorizes thorn
,to pass general jaws for the purpose.
It declares null' and void all special
charters heretofore granted by those
Legislatures. The sixth section pros
vides that no person appointee by the
President to office in any Territory,
shall receive compensation unless he
shall havo entered upon the discharge
of his official duties within the Terri
' tory, and no officer shall be paid for
the time ho may absent himself from

assemblies from granting divorces,
but leaves that authority with the
Courts of the United States in those
Territories. Tbe 9th Section provides
that within tho Territories aforesaid,
' there shall be no denial of the elective
franchise to citissns of the United
States because of race or color, and all
persons shall be equal before the law.
The 10 Section .gives the Territorial
Secretary the same pay as the Govern.
' or while performing duties as Govern
' or. The House refused to strike out

dation bill was laid over by a vote of 4
againBt 81, and is heartily approved
nf hv all of those who voted in tbe
" affimativej the general feeling among
tbe members of the ways ana means
committee respecting It is of a hostile
character, and several leading mem
bers of the House 'declare it cannot
nass that , body, without material
amendment. It appears that all tbe
failures of the national banks have
. been caused by their keeping accounts
with private banks, and tbe controller

such hereafter. :
Chicago, May 15. Generals Stead-
man and Follerton who were appoint
"" ed April 7th, to .inspect and report up
on the Freedraen's Bureab in the
Southern States-, completed a tour of
Virginia and North Carolina, and re
ported to tbo Secretary of War, under
date May8th, giving their impressions
at length, and closing witnarecommen
dation that tbe services of tbe ngonts
of the Bureau in ,Virginia and North
Carolina, be dispensed with, and that
their duties be performed by officers
commanding , troops in the depart
ments. They say there are 114 mili
tary officers and 290 civilians employ
ed as agents of tbe Bureau in these
States, and that neither tbo service ren
dored nor that recoived for the char.
acter of very many or most of its
agents warrants the discontinuance of
their services. Jn those districts
where tbo affairs of the Bureau have
been fairly and impartially adminiss
tered, by a general judgment, there has
been no direct conflict between the
agonts and citizens. Many of tho
agents are acting in harmony with tbe
civil officers of the States, and are as
sisted and supported by tbe citizens in
the performance of their duties, but in
many places, where agents are not men
of integrity and capacity, a very bad
feeling exists. This originates in the
arbitrary measures and offensive inter
ference of agentsorotbers, between the
planters and the freedmen. Ihese
agents exercise tho widost latitude
over judical functions, and tho effect
produced is bitterness and antagonism'
between whites and freedmen ainrriov
ed j prejudice against the Govern
ment by planters and tho expectations.
on tho part of freedmen that can never
be realized. Prudent and industrious
froedmcn rarely call on the Bureau for
assistance; h is the idle and worth
less who alone look to it for support!
These do not include tbe infirm and
helpless.. The restoration 6f civil lawF
and tho recognition of their civil right!
rnmoln nathnv hntrn riAftn na oririontl
ly thero'is no change in the law givin
- j ,
tbem the right to bold property, bu
and be sued, ect.
The report further states how th
Agents of tbe Bureau have been inte
ested in plantations, and wielded tbe
power in a manner to aid their ow
individual interests.
The report iurther says that opp
sition existed on the south bank
Trent river, in a settlement with a
exclusively freedmen population, 4,01
in .number, whose condition is trul
aepioraoip. inoso nntortunate pec
pie came in our lines, and were the1
living in small buts built by thorn
solves from lumber manufactured
their own hands. The settlement wa
recently, scourged by small pox, an
tbeir condition is well calculated
excite sympathy. The decrepi
among them are supported by Govern!
ment, ana tne remainder procuro
very scanty living from little jolf
aoout JMewnem, ana by nsbing
small boats, ect.
