T JI E-. .W E S T E UN D E M-O C R A T r C JI A R LO TT Ef N . C CIIAIILOTTE, N. C. CONGBESS. Id the Senate, on the 8tb, Mr Tromt all, from the Judiciary Committee, introdaccd a bill on reconstruction. The following ra the sixth sec tion of the bill-: "The true intent and meaning of the oath prescribed in the said supplementary act is, amonfr other things: That no person who has been a member ot ine legislature 01 any cnic or who has held any executive or judicial office ; "in any State, whether he has taken an oath to ; support the Constitution of the United States ! or not, and who has afterwards engaged in in- j surrectioa gainst the United fctates or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof, is en titled to be registered or to vote. And the words "executive or judicial office in any State" mentioned, shall be construed to include all civil officers created by law for the administra tion of the several laws of the State." The Senate, by a vote of SG to 5, refused to consider the joint resolutions thanking Sheri dan, Sickles, Schofie'd and Pope. Mr Grimes thought it would be very premature to pass 'these resolutions at this time. They were not sufficiently informed of the merits of the ca?es to be able to judge. Formerly the thanks of Congress were only tendered on extraordinary occasions, and it was considered a great compli ment to any one to receive them. But if this kind of precedent was to be established, they would next be tendering thanks to the Gov ernors of the Territories and to the Governor of our new Russian possessions. Several ineffectual efforts to introduce general legislation failed. In the House, a large number of bills were introduced and referred without debate. The I bill introduced by the reconstruction committee will be found in another column. The Committee on elections reported that no person who had given aid or comfort to the rebellion should be allowed to swear in. But disloyalty of constituents, or illegality of elec tions, should not prevent a member, holding a certificate, from swearing in. The report was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. A resolution calling for the proceedings of the Cabinet on the Reconstruction bill passed by a vote of 103 to 2G. Mr Butler moved the appointment of a special Committee of five to investigate the assassina tion, and that the Committee promise the pro tection of the House to accomplices who have not been tried or sentenced, who may give val uable evideuce. Passed under a suspension of the rules, July 9. In the Senate, the Judiciary recon struction bill was taken up. The day was con fumed in arguing whether the Commanders should be allowed to appoint civilians to vacant State offices. The Senate adjourned without definite action. In the House, the reconstruction bill was re sumed. The bill passed by yeas 119, nays 31. The following voted in the negative: Messrs. Adams, Archer, Barnes, Eldridge, Getz, Gloss brenner, Holman, Hotchkiss, Marshall, McCul lough, Morgan, Morrissey, Mungeon, Niblack, Nicholson, Noel, Phelps, Randall, Robinson, Ross, Sitgreavcs, Stewart, Stone, Taber, Van Aiken, Van Trump and Wood. July 10. In the Senate, the consideration of the Judiciary committee's reconstruction bill was resumed. An amendment giving the Com manders power to fill vacancies by appointing citizens or detailed soldiers was adopted by 20 to 15. j in the House, the time for taking evidence in the Kentucky elections was extended to De- j ccmber. A committee of five was appointed to ' enquire into the treatment ot Union prisoners, j with power to send for persons and papers. A ( bill was introduced extending the provisions of the Homestead Act to Alabama, Mississippi, j Arkansas, Louisiana and Florida. Referred to j tho Reconstruction Committee. The Committee on Foreign relations was directed to enquire whether any American citizen has been arrested and convicted in Great Britain for words spoken in America. Mr Wilson said that the Judiciary Committee have requested him to state that they were not ready to report on the impeachment. Mr Boutwell offered a concurrent resolution to adjourn to October next, eliciting a warm de bate, which was interrupted by the announce ment of Mr Dennison's death. After the usual 'rt Jmber of eulogies the House adjourned. July 11. In the Senate, the consideration of the Judiciary Committee's reconstruction biH was iesumed. Mr Howard withdrew his amendment which specified certain classes as entitled to register, with the remark that as there was a large share of judicial power Lft in the hands of the District Commanders, it would, perhaps, be as well to leave them to detcrmioe the matter. The fourth section was amended by adding that any person appointed by tho District Commander may be removed by him. Mr Drake introduced an amendment demand ing some additional guarantee preliminary to the admission of representatives, but was ruled out of order. He appealed from the chair. Tho Senate sustained the chair by a vote of 24 to 3. Mr Buckalew offered an amendment making the vote for Congressmen cumulative, giving to each elector as many votes as there were Con gressional Districts in the Srate, and atiowing him to cast all the votes for one candidate or divide them at pleasure. Ruled out of order by 22 to 7. The reconstruction bill was then .passed. The House resumed the consideration of the 'concurrent resolution of adjournment; an elabo rate argument ir. regard to the impeachment ensued. Finally Mr Stevens moved the pre viousquestion on the resolution that the Judi ciary 'Committee be ordered to report partially to the House at this Session. The demand was loot sustained. ilr Wilson moved that the committee "be or- 'dered to report next session and that the com mittee be allowed to print 1,500 copies ef the :report, "and demanded the previous question, which was sustained, and the resolution passed. Mr Stevens then saidjhat he abandoned the matter, and moved that the resolution lie on the table. . Reconstruction ih Louisiana and Texas. Gen. Sheridan orders the Board of Registers, at once, to select suitable :persons to act as Commis sioners of elections. Three persons are to be se lected 'for each precinct, whose names will be sub mitted to the supervising officers for approval In order to accommodate the largely increased nuraber of voters, two days will be given for vo ting. yThe Boards of Registers are ordered, at vonec, to.procead to make up their .poll books. NEW RECONSTRUCTION BILL. The following is the new Reconstruction Bill passed by the House of Representatives last week: ' Section 1. Be it enacted fey the Senate and Ilousa of Recresentatives of the United State? of America in Congress assembled, That it ia j hereby declared to have been the true intent ( and meaning of the act of the second day of ; March, one thousand eight hundred and sixty- j even, entitled an act for the more efficient gov- ' ernment of the rebel States, and of the act sup plementary thereto, passed on the 23d day of March, in the year 18G7, that the governments then existing in the rebel States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mis sissippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas, were illegal and void, and thereafter, the same governments, if continued, were to be continued subject in all respects to the Military Commanders of the respective Districts and to the authority of Congress. Sec. 2. The said acts, to which this is a sup plement, shall be construed to authorize ibo officer assigned to the command of any military District underpaid acts, whenever he shall deem it necessary to the due performance of his duties under the said acts, to remove or suspend from office any municipal or State officer, or person i exercising aumoriiy unuer ur uy virtue ui ajr so-called State government, existing in his Dis trict. And the said officer so assigned to com mand as aforesaid is hereby empowered to ap point another person in the etead of the officer or person, so removed, if he shall deem proper so to do. And whenever he may deem it neces sary as aforesaid to prohibit, suspend or set aside any act or proceeding of any such State or municipal government or any act or thing done under or by virtue of its authority. And all acts heretofore done by any such officer in ac cordance herewith shall be deemed valid. Sec. 3. The Board of Registration, of the several Military Districts, established by the acts to which this is supplementary, shall admit to registration only such persons as they deem entitled to be registered by the acts aforesaid. They shall not regard the taking of the oath prescribed in the act of March 23d, 18G7, con clusive evidence of the right of the person taking it to be registered, but prima facie only, and may receive such evidence under oath relating thereto as they may deeiu proper, either from the persons applying to be registered or others, and either of the. members of the said Board is hereby authorized to administer oaths or affirmations, and examine witnesses touching the right of any person to .be registered. Said Board of Registration may strike from the list of voters the name of any one already registered, who, in their judgment, improperly took the oath prescribed in the acts, to which this is supplementary, or was not entitled, by said acts, to be registered. Recorded evidence shall not be iequired by the said Boards to prove partici pation in the rebollion, but parole evidence shall be sufficient, and the said Board of Registration shall not be bound or governed in their action by any opinion of any officer of the United States government. Sec. 4. No Civil Court of the United States, or of any State, shall have jurisdiction of any action or proceeding, civil or criminal against any such District Commander, or of any officer or person acting by his authority, for or on ac-. count of the discharge of the duties imposed upon him by this act, or the acts to which this is supplementary. Sec. 5. No District Commander shall be re lieved from the command assigned to him under the aforesaid acts, usless the Senate shall. have first advised and consented thereto, or unless he shall be in arrest for an offence punishable by dismissal from the army, or dis qualified by sick ness from the performance of his duties. Sec. 6. The time for the completion of the registration of persons qualified to vote may be extended, by orders of the said several District Commanders, to any day prior to the first day of October, A. D., 18G7. Mr Stevens accepted the following as an ad ditional clause : Any person who shall attempt to prevent the execution of these acts shall be guilty of a mis demeanor, and, on conviction, liable to a fiue of five thousand dollars or imprisonment one year. The right of any person to be registered as a legal voter shall in no respect be changed or anected by the President s pardon for partici pation in rebellion. ANOTHER BILL. The following is a Reconstruction Bill intro duced in the Senate by Mr Trumbull, in behalf of . the Judiciary Committee. Whether this one, or the one passed by the louse, will be come the law is yet uncertain : Be it enacted, &c, That the true intent and meaning of the "act to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States, passed March 2d, A. D , 1SG7, was, is, and shall be construed to be that the military authority of the United States in said rebel States, as pro vided in said act, was and is paramount to aoy civil government existing therein; makes all such civil governments subordinate to such military authority, prohibits them from inter fering in any way with the exercise of such military authority. Sec. 2 And be it further enacted, That the commander of any district named in said act shall have power, subject to the approval of the General of the armies of the United States, whenever in the opinion of such commander the proper administration of said act, shall require it, to suspend or remove from office, or from the performance of official duties and the exercise of official powers, any officer or person holding or exercising, or professing to hold or exercise any civil or military office, or duty in such dis trict under any power, election, appointment or authority derived from or granted by, or claimed under any so called State or the government thereof, or any municipal or other division there of, and upon such suspension or removal such commander, subject to the approval of the Gen eral aforesaid, shall have power to provide from j time 'to time for the performance of the said duties of such officer or person, so suspended or ' removed, oy toe detail ot some competent officer or soldier of the army to perform the same. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the General of the armies of the Unit.d Slates shall be invested with all the power of suspension, removal, and detail granted in the preceding section to district commanders. Sec. 4.

Sec. G. And be it further enacted, That the true intent and meaning of the oath prescribed in said supplementary act is, (among other things,) that no person who has been a member of the Legislature of any State, or who has held any executive o judicial office in any State, whether he has taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States or not, and who has after wards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemy thereof, is entitled to be registered to vote; and the words "executive or judicial office in any State" in said oath mentioned shall be construed to include all civil officers created by law for the administration of the civil laws of the State.

FEVERS AND FRUITS. - Let's have a little talk about orchards and gar dens as life preservers. Many a farmer thinks he "can't fuss about a garden" with vegetables and .small fruits in amp.le variety, hardly about an orchard, especially beyond apple trees. So he goes on to weightier matters of grain, or stock, or diary, and eats potatoes, wheat bread, pork and salt beef all summer long; no fine variety of vege tables, no grateful berries, no luscious peaches or juicy cherries By October fever comes, or bowel complaints of some kind, or some congestive troubles, most likely. He is laid up, work stops a month, the doctor comes, and he "drags round'' all winter, and the doctor's bill drags too. The poor wife, meanwhile, gets dyspeptic, constipated, has fever, too, perhaps, and she just "crawls round." What's the matter ? They don't know, poor souls? Would they build a hot fire in July and shut the doors I Of course not in their rooms; but they have done just that in their poor stomachs. How so ? They have been eating all summer the heat-producing food fit for a cold season, but not for a warm one. A Greenlander can eat candles and whale fat because they create heat. In January we are up toward Greenland- in climate. A Hindoo lives on rice, juicy fruiis, and tropic vegetables, cooling and opening to the systein.--In July we move toward Ilindoostan "in a heat almost tropical. Diet must change, too. Have apples, pears, cherries, etc,, from the orchard every day, of early and late kinds. Let there be plenty of good vegetables, raspberries, strawber ries, etc. It takes a little time and trouble, but it's the cheapest way to pay the doctor's bills. And, bless your dear souls, these things taste good. You study what feed is good fur pigs and cattle. All right; but wife and children are of higher consequence; and it's a shame if, with all our great gifts of intellect and intuitio'n, we do not obey the Divine laws in our own physical being so well that the doctor shall visit the house less than the horse doctor goes to the barn. Don't fail of vegetables, berries and fruits. Trv it, and you'll say we haven't told half the truth liural New Yorker. The Impeachment The advocates of im peachment have tried hard to get up an excite ment upon the question, but they have failed most signally. The impeachment question will not be listened to in this Congress. IVaJiiugton Intelligencer. Gpn. Sickles has written to Senator Trumbull, urging a general amnesty, xr.f-pt as to a few in dividuals to be named, on the ground, among others, that but few of the enfranchised classes in the South arejit lo hold $ct, .

As we anticipated and predicted, the damage done by the late rains is found to be much less than was announced.

All fines imposed by Post Courts constituted by Circular from these Headquarters, dated May 15th, 1867, will, when the sentence has been approved by the General Commanding, be col lected by the Post Commanders. In cases where information has been given of any violation of existing orders, the Post Com mander may award to the informant a sum not exceeding one fourth of the fine imposed and collected. One-half of all fines collected shall be for warded on the first day of each month, by the several Post Commanders, to the Acting Assis tant Inspector General at these Headquarters, together with a summary statement showing the amount received, disbursed and remaining on hand, with copies of vouchers. The balance will be retained and constitute a Post Civil Fund, to be disbursed under the direction of the Post Commander in aid of the execution of the several Reconstruction Acts. MEXICAN HEWS. The New Oileans Times has a letter from Houston, Texas, giving a detailed account of the execution of Maximilian, Miramon and Mejia. Neither of them was bound or blind-folded, nor was any indignity offered, as reported. Maxi milian, before being shot, recapitulated the causes which brought him to Mexico; denied the authority of the court which sentenced bim; and hoped that his blood would stop the effusion of blood in Mexico. He called the Sergeant of the Guard, gave him a handful of gold, and re quested the favor that he should aim at his heart. Five balls entered bis breast, but the effect was not immediately fatal; when two sol diers were called out, who shot him in the side. Miramon spoke from paper, stating that the only regret he felt iu dying was, that if the Lib erals should remaiu in power, his children would be pointed at as the descendants of a traitor. Mtjia made no address. Much dissatisfaction and grief were manifest ed by the spectators. The swoid of Maximilian was presented to Juarez, by Escubedo, ip the government palace. Santa Anna. It will be remembered that Santa Anna was seized in the harbor of Vera Cruz, by an American war vessel, while at tempting ta make his way into Mexico. He was placed, against his protest, upon the Vir ginia, an American vessel, and ordered off the coast. Our naval officer, no doubt, exceeded his duty and his authority in interfering in the matter at all, but his offence does not in the slightest degree palliate the subsequent conduct of the Mexican officials. Santa Anna was com pelled to submit to superior force and as a pris oner he was carried to sea. The Virginia, in fulfilment of the objects of her voyage, entered the Mexican port of Sisal. There the Mexican authorities, learning that Santa Anna was on board, demanded him,and, having at their dis posal three gunboats, were enab'ed to enforce the demand. The commander of the Virginia prut sted against the outrage, and appealed to his flag, which he spread upon the deck in frout of the gangway. The Mexicans were not, how ever, to be balked, and they walked over the flag, trampling it under their feet. The question now arises, will our government qu:etly submit to such an insult or will it de mand and enforce indemnity? It is intimated, in the Northern papers, that the sailing of the frigate Suquehannah, with Commodore Porter on board, under sealed orders for Mexico, u with refercuce to the matter of reparation. As Odstin ate King. The King of Abyssinia, with indomitable obstinacy, holds on to the Eng lishmen whom he put in prison when Queen Vic toria refused to marry him? He is determined to carry hU point or hold the EnglL-hmen. The British ministry have sent earnest remoustances against this proceeding and urging the immediate release of the prisoners. As an inducement to the Africin king they sent some captivating pres ents and a numtw of artisans the presents to be handed over aud the artisans to visit the country the moment the prisoners were set free. Noth ing has been heard from this last proposition. Earl Derby, who made this explanation, said it was not prudent to state what further measures the Government intended to adopt The English cannot well resort to force, and it is getting pretty plaiu that nothing hort of that will be available. ' NORTHERN WATERING PLACES- A .New York letter, speaking of placet of Summer resort in the North, says v . UA11 the pretty women and jolly fellows (ho have any money) are out of town more, espe cially the pretty women. Some are drinking Congress water (and champagne) at Saratoga and the White Sulphur ; others are studying geology (and the way to get married) among the Catskills and the Adirondack's; still others are fiitfirg (and flirtiog) over the fresh waters of Lake George, Lke Champlain, et al.; and still more of them are revealing the pretty little bare feet and their dear little forms (the latter in bathing dress) among the cool, white-tipped surges that fringe the beaten sands of Newport, Nabant, Long Branch, etc. Poets may dream and novelists twaddle about the beauty of woman, robed in velvets and satins, but the blue bluff billow of the Atlantic could tell more about the female form divine, as it falls upon the white shingle and bursts into passionate tears among the laughing bathers of Newport and Nahant. - , Saratoga, and a flying trip at that, has thus far been the extent of my dissipation this sum mer. There were never before so many people there as at present. All the great hotels are crowded to suffocation, and I do not think there is a cottage to let. The latter, I am very sorry to say, are much in vogue among the demi monde, while many of the hotels contain so many women of this class that it is difficult to distinguish them, at a glance, from those who arc supposed to retain their stand on the pedestal of honor. Indeed, during the last few years, this evil has attained vast proportions, and Saratoga is the favorite resort for ladies without character. At the very outset of the season, it is the oustooi for many of the "madames" of the better class of Metropolitan houses of vice to go to Saratoga and make arrangements for ample accommodations;-and it is only after the 6eason has fairly opened that the unsuspecting proprietor finds out that his choice'eottages are to run through the summer with a stigma upon them, which will seriously affect their value hereafter. It is through the machinations of these "madames" that most of these women are brought to the summer resorts; but the hotels are crowded with hundreds (mostly accompanied by "gentle men,") who leave the city for the country on a purely individual speculation. And not tho least disagreeable feature of this evil lies in the fact that these women win a certain recognition everywhere. The pickpocket slinks on the shady side, the confidence man changes his hotel frequently, and the wayside gamester is compelled now and then to shift his ''little jokei" from one position to another; only the brazen and bedizened woman is permitted to move whithersoever 6he will, without let or hin drance. She can brush the skirts of your re lative on the promenade; her hired hack may jostle the old family coach on the drive; the hotel corridors and balconies are monopolized by her; and generally she parades herself and does as she pleases. The gambler is another privileged character at the watering-places, and especially at Sarato ga. The openness and extent with which "faro" and keno" are carried on there at the present time, recalls the scenes of California in the early days, and will eventually rival the "hells" of Baden-Baden and Ileidelburgh. There are three new establishments at Saratoga this summer, and all the old ones are in full blast. Two of these are said to be owned by the Hon. John Morissey, whose '-banks" were reported to have earned over half a million of dollars last year. Be that as it may, his chances for a golden harvest this season appear to be equally auspicious. - The Southern Express Company There are few corporations in any countiy that have won for themselves a more enviable notoriety than the Southern Express Company. As pub lic carriers they have used every effort to shor ten the distances between the different points, and to lesson the expense. This and more than this has been accomplished under the guardian ship of the Company, and their officers are now aotively engaged in correcting "all abuses and in arranging the transportation. Mr J.

This supar, is said to have been mado in March, and is a part of the pro duct of last season's business, the beets having been preserved in pits through the winter. The expeiience thus far obtained is rnoken of as con clusive in regard to thegood saccharine properties of beets grown in this country as compared with France, and no reason has yet been discovered why beet sugar cannot le made here as profitably and as well. The experienco thus far obtained will be valuable in prosecuting this branch of in dustry on a large scale." ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT, Mecklenburg Foiaafc College, CHARLOTTE, N. C.
