Congressional.

Washington, December 13.
--In the Senate, to-day, Anthony and Fessenden denounced the Associated Press reports of Senatorial proceedings as incorrect and meagre.

The House has, by a large majority, requested the President to suspend the order mustering out officers of the veteran reserve corps.

The Senate reconstruction resolution passed the House to-day.

Doolittle, Dixon and Cowan are the only Senators who voted for it, and it is expected that they will hereafter vote with the opposition.

The House Committee of Foreign Relations will take bold ground on the Mexican question.

The New Jersey Republicans are confident that Mr. Stockton will be unseated in the Senate.

Mr. Stevens's resolution, as amended by the Senate, came up in the House to-day. He said he had objection to it, as amended, but would move for its adoption by the House at the proper time. The resolution is binding on the House only — containing the part stricken out by the Senate, and keeping out all Southern members until the report of the committee. This will be the policy of the House.

The Senate will probably adopt the same rule in reference to the admission of members. This is a practical triumph of Stevens's original resolution just as it was drawn, being simply by the present form made to conform to Congressional rules and avoiding going to the President for his approval.
