DLEIG-RA2P WAsiaTnscro, Feb. Senate receded from its amendments last night, aut refused to concur in the House proposition, but finally adopted the. amendment as originally reported by thi, Senate Judiciary simply declaring that the rights of the citizens of the United States to vote or hold office shall not be denied or abridged by any State or the United States on account of race, color or previous condition, and gives Congress the enforcing power. The object of the prolonged session was to prevent a pocket veto, the President's signature being necessary, notwithstanding the two-thirds vote required to pass the amendment.

the House this afternoon, the Senate's resolution on sufrage giving the right to vote and bold office, with Bingham's amendment thereto, providing that persons who have participated in the rebellion shall not, therefore. be disfranchised, was passed. The probability is that the Senate will accept this amendment, and so the resolution will go to the State Legislature. There was an interesting debate in the Senate this afternoon on the tenure of office act. There is now a probability of its repeal, though possibly it may only be medified.
