It pro vides that in all cases when any loyal citizen of tho United States has disposed of any lauds or tenements lielonging to him-or her within any of said States by any order proceeding from or decree of these States, on the ground of his or her adherence to the Union, or his or her absence or failure to give support to said?

MARYLAND CLAIMS DAMAGES FOB BURNT BRIDGES. The Times’ Washington special says: Hon] R. Thomas of Maryland, is preparing to make a daiin before Congress in behalf .of his State, for damages on account of burning two bridges on the route from Washington to Frederick city, destroyed by order of Goneral Lew Wallace, at the battle of Monocacy, in 1864. General Wallace, in response to inquiries from Mr. Thomas says he ordered the burning of the bridges to retard Early's march on Washington by depriving him of facilities lor crossing the streams, and that Early' was thus detained thirty-six hours. A second object was to bring into actiou the fores de tailed to guard the bridges. The overpowering number of Early’s troops was making it iAxiractic^li to con centrate all tiie Federal lorces to ^bold thk A?bels in check. - ^ * 1 f MORE GENERALS’ TESTIMONY.

I FENIAN NEWS. Boston, March 10.—A grand Fenian demonstration wa9 held in the Music Hall last evening.

Addresses were mad*by O'Mahoney, Captain McCatforty, Mflitaiy'Enrbyjfrom Ireland; Mr. Hag gerty of New York, P.'A. Seunott, C. J. E. Fitzgqrald, Central Organizer, and others. A series of resolutions ware presented by J. McDermott of New York, which were unanimously adopted. Great pmttoiai^sm was manifested throughout the evening, and at its close a large amount of -Fenian bonds was disposed of.

Downing, chairman of the colored delegation at present here, sentjby the colored people will take place effecting the occupancy of fhft 40 which Gen. Sherman gave the freedmen a possessory title. The President suggested that the freeamen should continue to cultivate said lands. Mr, Downing has received letters from South Carolina; from the parties interested, telling him of their fears; that they might be suddenly removed from the lands theV wore cultivating—fears which arose on the receipt of j news of tlie veto of the Frcedmcn’s Bureau bill. Wliqu the fact was presented to the President he gave.the above assurances. The Report of the Committee on ttefion- structlon. It was not generally known by the people of the south that they were on trial before the Committee on Reconstruction, in Washington, and that witnesses were being. examined to prove thejr unfitness for being again received into tiiO Union soon-after being accepted and acquiesced in the final arbitrament of the war in reference to the political and sefctibnal is sues involved in the contest. Such, however, >s the case, aud it appears from the report of the committee that there has been no lack of willing witnesses -to cs- tiblish tho fact that a majority of the people if tiie south were secessionists, that they deplore .the failure of their ckuse. and the consequent loss of their prop erty, that they do not profess universal affiction for their late enemies that they do not consider tho radi cal faction in Congress at .l^ir best friends, tir the Freedmen’sBuredir'as a desirable substitute ft}r the American Constitution. As a specimen of the evidence by which this state of things at tHe south isinideto appear to the evident satisfaction of the committee, we give the following extracts from the report relating to Texas aud Florida : “Major Geueral Daniel T.
