Even now, in leading the debates in Congress, we feel how strange are its proceedings, and find something" dream like in anti-siaveiy legislation, anti slavery speeches by membets from slave States, and the feebleness of pro-slavery opposition. Is it possible that the Senate of the United States should actually think the ejection of a colored man from a street-car in Washington an outrage which demanded national rebuke ? Is it possible that a. Senator should say he did not consider it any disgrace to ride with colored people, without being covered with shame and de molished by chivalrous indignation ? Is it possible that no assault was made upon the Senator from Massachusetts'- for asking til at the law should grant the colored race equal privileges with the white in the public streets ? That privilege is not granted in Philadelphia, and are we really to believe that in three years a city in which, for half a century, black men have been sold as cattle, is freer in spirit than this city, wherein slavery has been forbidden for generations ? It is true. Congressional legislation la more liberal than local spirit, and it is well that the re form begins in Washington, whence the evil was originally distributed through the" Whole North. Consecrate the nation to freedom, and inevitably every State and county will in the end be delivered from the influence of" slavery. Even Indiana will disavow the prejudices of Mr. Hendricks. We are pleased with Mr. Hendricks. He objects to riding in a car with a major in the United States service on account of his cr’or, and thinks it an outrage that such a commissioned officer of the Government Should want to ride in a ear with white people. But Mr. Sumner is right in de claring that the country is being rapidly Abolitionized and civilized. The time has come when civilization and Abolitionism are inseparable. The joint resolution equalizing the pay ment of soldiers will no doubt distress the advocates of the inferiority of colored troops, but it should' be passed. The objection to its retrospective character does not affect its radical principles, and the payment or non payment of the deficiency in back pay might safely he left to the Secretary of War, as Mr. Sumner proposes. At all events, it is - an objection which should not interfere with the passage of the resolution. We can afford to grant all that the opponents of the enlist ment of colored troops can claim, and might admit that they are not quite the equals of white soldiers without yielding the justice of our claim. The relative inferiority of a class of troops could not justly determine a difference in their payment, for it is upon the general average of the fighting quality of the whole army that we depend. The United States could not form two grades of ] soldiers under one flag. Refuse to pay } ihe black soldier what is paid the white, j and we disgrace the former at once, and ! destroy his usefulness by discouraging i his spirit. The uniform makes the equality, \ if nothing else dots. Even in ouv white j volunteers we pay the coward no less than j the brave man, and the general who is de- i ft attd draws the same salary as the general j Who conquers. But the Meads of equal I payment are not obliged to admit the asser- ! tions of their opponents. We kno tv what the i black soldier has done, and can do. It was ! but yesterday that we received from a j : correspondent a copy of the following order, j ■ v hic-h is unimpeachable testimony to the value of the black regiments. General Lo- j bekzo Thomas, who has organized himself 1 thirty colored regiments, and should know ! their character, has said of this order that ' ■ it is 11 a just tribute to the colored troops, ! which should be published to the world,” • I and we think it none the less eloquent for ! - being unenthusiastic. ! j Headquarters i6th Akmy Corps. Memphis, Tbhn, December 17,1865, [GENERAL ORDERS, HO. 173 ] The recent .Heir At Moscow, Tennee.ee, has de monttrattd tbe fact that colored troops properly di-etplined and commanded, can and will fight well, and tbe general commanding corps deem, it to be due to the officer, and men ortbe ad Regiment West Tennessee Infantry of African descent, thu* pub licly to return his personal thanks for their gallant and successful defence of the important position to which .they bad been assigned, and for the manner in which they have vindicated the wisdom of the Government in elevating the rank and file of these resinents to the position of ireedmea and soldiers. By order of Major General 3. A. Hnribut. T. H. HARRIS, Asaiatant Adjt.Gen. Official: T. Whitehead, Assistant Adjutant General. These proofs multiply, and would force Congress to do justice, even were the wish to do it lacking.. But there is no deficiency of purpose on the part of the Union majority either in the House or Senate. The Rebel Government, according to the Richmond Examiner, has detected a se cret organization of Union men in Rich mond, having for its object the forcible re lease of the Libby and Belle Isle prisoners, the destruction of the Government buildings, and the assassination of Jefferson Davis. A German baker, named A. W. Heinz, hrs been arrested as one of its leaders; “his associates in treason,” says t ~bvQ Examiner, “ are all pretty much of his own character and social standing.” This statement has two important points. Firstly, the exist ence of a number of Union men in Rich mond sufficient to undertake a work of such magnitude as he liberation of ten or twelve thousand of prisoners is frankly admitted. Yet the Richmond journals have been asserting for months that the Southern people were united as one man sgainst the Union. Secondly, in the sneer at the social standing of Mr. Heinz, it is confessed that the conspirators are men of the respectable working classes, and this is confirmation of the Northern argument, that the rebellion was begun by the slaveholders for the benefit of slavery, and that the non-slaveholding, in dustrial population derives no benefit from its continuance, and would gladly see it ended. The assertion that the organization of Union men intended the assassination of Jeff Davis is one of the usual slanders by which the tyrant brands the man who strug gles to be free. The Sanitary Fair. "We understand that the officers of the Sanitary Commission in this -city are busily engage in organizing a plan for the grand Fair for the benefit of the Commission, to be held m this city m the month of May or June._ They are very desirous that Phila delphia shall have a large share in the great work which has been so wonderfully suc cessful in other cities. They receive the greatest encouragement from men of every class and interest in the community, and in order to secure the most efficient manage ment of the scheme are now engaged in carefully selecting the various committees from thoroughly representative men and women. In the meantime they have-been very fortunate in inducing John Welsh, Usq., to preside over the general interests of the Fair, a gentleman whose name and aid in this community are a guaranty of the of every enterprise, public or pri vate, with which he may be connected. It cannot be doubted that the section of coun fcy whose contributions will be offered for the benefit of the soldierßatthe Philadelphia Fair, embracing Pennsylvania, Delaware, and' the larger portion of New Jersey, is Second to none other in devoted loyally and patriotism, and. will be second to none in af fording the substantial evidence of it. The great point is an efficient organization, and in a few days the public will have an op portuniiy of knowing the names of all to whom this labor of love and duty to the soldier has been confided. The Mexican news to San Francisco seems tOO good to be true, in opposition to the news we have thus far had, which has been too true to be good. If San Luis Potosi has been recaptured by the Juarez forces, it is the greatest success the Republic has achieved since the Empire established it self in the capital. The progress of the French has been so steady, the attempts to oppose it have been so feeble, that the friends of Mexican independence have had reason for doubting the earnestness of its de fenders. But, if they have the energy and power, not only to wrest the city of San Luis Potosi from the invaders, to capture most of the garrison, and hang the renegade Mexicans, but also to make this success the basis of an immediate movement against the enemy at Guadalajara, our confidence in Mexican patriotism must be greatly in creased. The news does not appear un trustworthy, but its confirmation will be anxiously awaited. Rex'. Joseph Parrish Thompson* This learned and eloquent divine fa na tive of Philadelphia.), of the Tabernacle New York, will deliver his great lecture on “ Revolution Against Free Government Not a Right, hut a Crime,” to-night, at the Academy of Music. The admission will be free. Tickets may he had at this office. This lecture has created much sensation in New York and elsewhere, and, in the judg ment of. eminent authorities, is an irrefuta ble answer to Hie specious pleas of Earl Russell, Palmerston, tbe London Times, and all that .Class of English authorities that contend the South has a right to resort to revolution. Mr. Thompson is renowned for his valuable contributions to the great cause of humanity and republican government. The students of the Free Military School for applicants for command of colored troops have been invited to be present on the stage. Mr. Thompson has-Jost his eldest son in battle for the cause of the Union, and his second son is an officer of the 7th Regiment U. &. Colored Troops. IETTER FROM “OCCASIOSAIi.” Washujgtok, Feb. 10, 1864. No intelligent student of the times will be surprised at the late demonstration of cer tain Of the anti-war and so-called Democratic organs against the institution, of slavery. The proposition of the New York Herald, in favor of amending the Constitution by a vote of the States, in the manner pointed out by that instrument, was to authorize the complete and lasting abolition of slavery; and the admissions of the New York World, the most reckless “ striker” for the slave holders in the free States, aTe unconscious confessions that the arguments of the radi cals are right, and sure indications that the adversaries of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration will soon be called upon to change their whole line of battle and to abandon all their po sitions, or fall into the hands of the Abo litionists and negro-worshippers. I do not use these words to upbraid those who have taken the new ground. They deserve to be honored for it; and whether they per severe in the good wort, or give it up for some new party expedient, they will re ceive all that credit which is sure to be awarded to those who, even for a personal or a party end, impulsively sustain a prin ciple they have- opposed. The Herald has undoubtedly exhibited equal tact and force in presenting the suggestion of an amend ment of the Constitution for the purpose of authorizing the overthrow of slavery; and, whether the plan succeeds or fails, no fair man will be disposed to say that the Herald, while by no means originating the idea, has not given a chance to honest Democrats to put themselves right on the greatest of all the living issues, and, in doing so, has baffled and confounded the pestilent peace leaders. What the true pa triot in this struggle prays for is not that a parly may win, but that- the country may be saved. And if the Democratic masses be come. as, indeed, they ought to become, fol lowing the progressive teachings of Jeffer son, and Jackson, and Van Buren, and Leg gett, and Silas Wright, and the examples of all the living and trusted oracles and expo nents of real and radical Democracy—if these masses become anti-slavery, I care not under what guise, or on what platform, only so it is sincere, what genuine lover of liberty will not re joice ? Such an advance movement as this would dispose of bad leaders, but it would give to hundreds of thousands of eonsci entious men an opportunity to follow con victions which they have too long been forced to stifle. But what should be the course of the Union or War party in the presence of these startling though not un expected developments? Undoubtedly to avoid dissensions on non-essentials. That party is knitted and welded together by a truth which cannot be denied or contra dicted, and by a covenant which ought never to he forgotten or deserted. The ultra Copperheads in Congress begin to exult at what they regard as the certain prospect of destructive divisions among the iriends of the Government on the question of recon struction. This hope will be wofully disap pointed. There is, I trust, too much com mon sense in Congress and the country to - allow the greater duty to he lost sight of for the gratification of personal opinions. The attrition of antagonistic theories is the na tural result of such a condition as that the Republic occupies to-day. No harm can come of these attritions, but rather good. The people, grown intelligent by the les sons of the war, are eager and hungry for a fuller and more thorough education; and they will discuss dispassionately and weigh pro foundly all that is lai'd before them by those in whom they have been accustomed to con fide. But the masses of the Republican or Union party cannot be driven from their moorings; cannot lose sight of the light houses that have saved them from so many wrecks fl mean the great underlying and overspreading principles of hostility to hu man slavery), by quarrelling over what, after all, are only details, and by refusing to sacri fice something, that the primary and lasting consideration may be saved and strengthen ed through all coming time. The most ex treme radical, the most uncompromising anti-slavery leader, if he believes in the es sential doctrine, in the foundation principle, above set forth, will not wait to chaffer about what is abstractly right and may be safely postponed, but will give his heart’s best wishes, and surrender all that he can afford to yield in honor, so that the Republic may live and slavery may die. Presentatiom of Plate.—On Tuesday evenin»y a splendid entertainment was given to Ciias. Magee, Esq., of this city, by a party of seventy gentlemen, his friends, on the occasion of his being presented with a fcandiome silver goblet, as a mark of their esteem and approbation. It was given in the dining room of the St. James Hotel, 421 Walnut street, the splendid restaurant just opened by Messrs. Green & Kelly. It was the inauguration, so to speak, oi that new house, and every one who participated on this occasion was more than satisfied with the viands the cooking, and the attendance. The chair was os-’ cupied by R. H. Bolster, Esq., who performed his genial duties in a very able manner. Mr. Magee, after a residence of twentytwo years among us, is about returning to his native Ireland, with a liberal independence, and his friends were determined to give him a testimonial which would at once mark their regard and his merit.

' Unemployed Officers* The House Committee on Military Affairs have prepared a bill setting out with the declaration that it appears that many general officers are and have been either entirely unemployed or not on duty cor responding with their rank, thus holding commis sions and drawing pay without rendering service, and standing Sn the way of the promotion of active officers; and providing that all major and brigadier generals who on the 16th of March next shall not be in the performance of service, and for three months continuously next prior to that date, shall be dropped from the rolls of the army, and all pay shall cease, and the vacancies shall be filled by ap pointment or promotion. But this Is not to affect officers absent from wounds, or in consequence of being prisoners of war, or on parole. Any major or brigadier general appointed under the act of 1861, and so dropped from the rolls, shall not be discharged, but remitted to his former position as a staff or line officer of the regular army* The Wild Dayrell. It appear* from official data that the Wild Dar rell, which wa» run ashore and destroyed at New Top sail Inlet recently, was a paddle-wheel steamer, launched in September, 1863, at Liverpool, by Jottbs, Q,uigg & Co. She was 215 feet long, 20 broad, and 11 deep, built of steel, and wae a similar ship to the Banshee, captured last year.

The steamer Presto, which was recently run ashore on Ludman’s Island, near Charleston, was built by A. Stbfhbhs & Sons, on the Clyde, for a blockade-runner. Speed was her first requisition, snd it is believed she had no rival afloat. She was of great length, a low, blaok, and rakish-looking paddle-steamer, very sharp forward, and has a fore castle deck to break the Seas. She was about 400 tons burthen, and sailed from Glasgow on the 28th or October, 1863, loaded with atoreion rebel sooount, She attained a speed of eighteen miles on her trial trip. Personal.

The House went into secret session before taking any notion upon them: Whereaxy The President of the United States, in a late public communication* did declare that no propositions for peace had bees made to that Government by the Confederate Stales, when, in truth, such propositions were prevented from being made by the President of the United States, in that he refused to hear, or even to re ceive, two Commissioners appointed to treat exPTesslv of the preservation of amicable relations between tbe two Governments. ■. Nevertheless, that the Confederate States may stand justified In the sight of tbe conservative men in the Worth of all parties, and that the world may know which of the two Governments it ia that urges on a war unparalleled for the fierceness of the conflict, and in (ossifying Into a. eeeiional hatred unsurpassed in the auuale of mankind. Therefore, Eeaolued, That the Confederate States invite the United states, through their Government at Washing* ton, to meet them by Representatives equal to their Re presentatives and Senators in their respective Congress, at—, onjthei -—day of next, to consider, Fir* t—Whether they cannot agree upon the recognition of the Confederate States ol America. Second —In the event of such recognition, whether they cannot agree upon thejormation of a new Government, founded upon the equality and sovereignty of the States: put tr this cannot be done, to consider Third—'Whether they cannot aitree upon treaties of lensiye. defensive, and commercial. Resolved, In the event of the passage of these reso intione the President he requested to communicate the same to the Government at Washington, in such man n«r ae ha shall deem most in accordance with the usages of nations; »nri Is tbe event or their acceptance by that Government, he do issue hie proclamation of election of delegates under such regulations as he may deem ex pedient. Considerable excitement was occasioned in Rich, mond by the announcement of the arreet of General Robeit Toombs, at Savannah, on charge of using treasonable and disloyal language. The case is a. follows; “ General Toombs had taken tho cars in Savan nah without a passport. The officer on the train, whose duty it was to examine passports, called, In the ditcharge of this duty, upon Mr, Toombs ror his passport. Mr, Toombs had no passport, and so in formed the offleer, and Bald that he would not procure any, adding that he was General Ro bert Toombs, and owed allegianoe to Georgia, and no other Government, and that his State did not require her citizens to travel with passes and passports, and that he would not procure a pass- Eort. The officer Informed General Toombs that is orders allowed him no discretion, but required of him not to allow any man to pass wlthouta pass port. Gen. Toombs still refusing to procure a pass port, was ejected from the oars by the guard. Gen. Toombe proceeded to harangue them in anexeited and bitter manner, and in disloyal and treasonable langusge. Gen. Beauregard being in Savannah, and hearing the facts, ordered the arrest and con finement of Gen. Toombs, and he was taken in obarge by a guard. OUTLAWRY OF GEN. BUTLER.

A Contrast from the Census* The rebel journals declare that the oppressions of the 11 Confederate ” Government and the high prices of materials In the South have produced a very se rious mortality among the Southern newspapers, so that but thirty, five .dallies now remain alive in all the rebellious States. The Southern mind, whioh reoeives the principal part of ita instruction' on atumpa by the wayside, probably will not mill the dead journals, and the world' generally will be nose the worse for this sudden demise j but still it is ourious to look bsck to the census of 1860,- to- see what was the condition of the Southern press four years ago. In that year there were nine hundred and seventy.nine political jour nal* published in all the slave States, against two thousand two hundred and sixty-three of the same class in the free States. Of this number ninelyone were Southern dailies; now there are, according to the rebel confession, but thirty-Jive. The dailies in the free States four years ago numbered two hun dred and eighty-one; they have Increased since that time, instead of dying ont—but then we of the loyal Ststei do not receive wayside-stump instruction. By way of comparison, we give the census sta tistics by States, in parallel columns, taking the figures of 1860: . ' POLITICAL PAPERS PUBLISHES IN THE UNITED STATES IN IB6o* SLATE STATES. Total.

Texas. £ n s ? a . rt ?/ Virginia, The political papers putv J j*? e s m tb f*e States in 1860 numbered, all told, fifty-four, and of these all but thirty-five are dead from the Pressure of want. While Georgia, the “Empire btate” of ibe South, in her beat days supported only aeventy*tive papers (twelve of which were dailies), with a population of 1,057,286, the people of Massachusetts bought and read one hun dred and twelve journals every year (seventeen of them dailies), when the whole population of that State was but 1,231,066—n0t 200,000 greater than that of Georgia. Before the rebellion, therefore, the South was vsetly inferior to the worth in literary enterprises "-the proportion having been nearly as one to four —while the effect of the war upon the rebel States Is sufficiently indicated by the rapid decay, confessed by the rebels themselves, of which the newspaper mortality may be taken as an index.— New York Evening Post . McElboy’s Philadelphia City Directory for 1864,—The annual volume, twenty-seventh of the Beries, comes round with its usual punctuality, presenting, as It were, a microcosm of our city. It contains the addresses, and proper personal descrip tions, oi about 200,000 persons. The publisher com plains, in his preface, of the difficulty he found in compiling the work—partly from carelessness on the part of tbe public, partly from aotual refusals to give names. He attributes the latter oause to the terror of “ the draft.” Notwithstanding, the volume is equal, at least, to any of its predecessors, and, in deed, is indispensable to all business men. The price has not been raised, though printing and paper have advanced so materially. The WOman in Black.—By a lapsus pennts we lately announced that T. B. Peterson had~a new novel, “ The Woman in White,” In the press. The book in question is ll The Woman in Black,” Labor Positive Sale op Dry ■ Goods, Car vets, &o—The early particular attention of dealers is requested to the large and valuable assortment of American, British, French, and German dry goods, embracing 676 packages of staple and fancy artioles, atock of goods, hemp carpets, &c., to be peremptorily sold by catalogue, on four months’ credit, and part for cash, commencing this morning at 10 o’clock, to be continued, without intermission, the larger part of the day, by John B, Myers & Co., auctioneers, Nob 232 and 231 Market street. Auction Notice —Large and Attractive Sale or Boots and Shoes.—The attention of buyers is called to the large and desirable assort ment of i,6€o oases boot*, shoes, brogans, baimorais, cavalry boots, Ac., to be sold by catalogue at auotion this morning by Philip Ford & Co., auctioneers, at their store, Nos, 626 Market and 622 Commerce atreets. Public Entertainments. The German Opera,—“La Dame Blanche,” given last night at the Academy, was a very credit able performance of one of the most popular French Operas, and must have given new satisfaction to aU who admire the composer of that excellent little opera, “Jean de Paris.” Madame Johannsen, Mr, Herrmann, and Mr. Habelmann, were admirable in their several parts. The best music or the 'Opera probably belongs to the tenor, and its fine sentiment lost nothing in his appreciative execution. Perhaps too mueh of “ L£Dame Blanche” is taken up with dialogue to give it entire interest to American hear ers, but aU who heard it have, doubtless, had another enjoyment. On Friday evening the “ Music of the Future ” will meke its first appearance before a Philadelphia audience, in Richard Wagner’s cele brated, mueh-abused, and somewhat notorious “Tannbauser.” Havdh’s Great Oratorio of thr Creation. —This popular production of the great German composer will be produced in the highest style of mueioal art, at the Academy of Music, on Saturday evening next, by the Handel and Haydn Society, The entertainment is given by thesoolety for the benefit of the Christian Commission, which, aside from other considerations, should secure a full house. Those who wish to contribute to a noble object, and at the same time enjoy a grand per formance, should secure seats at once. The announcement that Mr. Barnum will da liver his great lecture on the “Art of Money- Getting” in this city, has no doubt stirred up the mercantile community to its depths. The poor want to become rieh; the rich to became richer. Mr. Barnum professes to show the way. We have read in the papers advertisements stating that “ any one who will enclose one dollar to Box 900 will receive in return a circular giving full informs, tion of a certain way to make a fortune.” Never having sent the dollar, we are ignorant of the method, though we have heard that the asasaiar sometimes advises the recipient to imitate the advertiser, Mr. Barnum, however, offers to show the way to afflu ence at twenty, five cents a head, and we would not be tuiptised if he directed his disciples to establish a museum with a moral lecture-room attached. Whatever he says should be respectfully listened <o, for Barnum is a man of remarkable energy and ability, and unparalleled as a maker of vast sums oi money out ot small investments. He will lecture on Saturday night at the Musical Fund Hall. General Scsmmon, reeently gobbled up. by gueiillas in Western Virginia, belonged to the tegular army, was a West Point offleer, and served in Florida and Mexico. He was a brave offleer and a favoiite with General Scott, on whose staff'he was attached in Mexico. Alumni Meeting. —At a meeting of the Alumni of tbe Central High Sehool, held last night, Chailes Buckwslter, E>q , was eleeted president, and Henry R.

Mr. POWELL, from the Jndiciary Committee. re ported a bill authorizing the holding of a special Ae«sion of a United States District Court in Indiana, which was pat-sed. Amendment of Constitution-Abolition of Mr. TRUMBULL, of Illinois, from the same committee, reported back a substitute for the joint resolution of Mr. Henderson, proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as follows: let. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a pnnUhmeut for crimes wßeieof the party shall have been duly con victed. fih&il CXist within the United States, or any Ejace subject to their jurisdiction. 2d.

Mr. TRUMBULL reported adversely to the proposed amendment of the Constitution by Mr. Sumner, making all men equal before th* law. so that no man can hold another as a slave, • Tire Proclamation of Emancipation, Mr CLABK introduced a bill ratify in and reaffirming the President a proclamation of January 1. 1833, and giving it the f* rce of a statute, which was referred to the Committee on Slavery and freedmen. Promotion of Enlistments. Mr. BBOWNv of Missouri, submitted amendments to Mr. Wilson’s bill to promote enlistments, which, con firms the emancipation proclamation., abolishes slavery throughout the country, and subjects colored men to en rolment ana drafts under the same apportionment as ** other citizens. ” Military Salaries. Mr. Grimos r bilk proposing a scale of reduction of military saJaileß when officers, are in command, not in the field,and when on leave, or without & command, was reported adversely from the Committee on Military Af fairs. _ and Railroad Cars Mr. SUMNBR* of Massachusetts introduced a r««<Vl n.

What Mr. Hendrid s Said. Ur. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, said if he expressed any opinion, he 'would say the outrage was the other way. Separate cars were provided for the colored people, and this case occamd because the negro declined to ride with persons of hie own color, and wished .o force him* self with white men. Mr. GBlMlSdid not think there were any care run ®Ss£XAft^sPPinmo^ftttoll ° r colored people. Mr. HENDRICKS knew differently, for he had entered one. and was clad to set out the best war he could. Mr. GRIME) did not think it any disgrace to ride with these colored people. 1 Outrages on Colored Citizens. Mr STTMNBB reed the letter of Dr. Augosta, surgeon of the 7th Colored Volunteers. He believed it was as great an outrage as It would he to eject the Senator from hie seat here. Without meaning any personal disrespect, Mr. WIL SON Paid he believed the largest quantity of information la ana oat of this Senate was from the New 'i ork pipers, ana ms attention was called to this subject from tnem This wains6 l the only place where reform was needed. He had information of an outrage perpetrated on a mail railroad, where two colored men were ejected from an en pty ctr, and forced i&to a cattle car. This was apart of the malignant system of slavery but the country was being rapidly abollttontzed and civilized. Mr. HFfi DRICKS believed, from the expressions he had heard to-day, that social as well as political equali ty was to he forced upon th&white race. The people would never adopt that sentiment He was glad that the Senator from Massachusetts had now plainly pre sented the issue before the country. Mr. WILSON said he had no deeire to force negro equality on the Senator from Indiana. What he wanted was to let every man assume the station God intended him to attain.

SUJI- X*>.B.&r<ued at length as to the justice or the bill as it stood. To obviate objections to tbe bill, he was willing to have it discretionary with the Secretary of War as to what regiments should receive the retrospociive uav proposec w the bill, so as to include only those who had entered the service under the delusion that they were :o n ceive more th an *lO per month. tMr. FibBENDEN opposed the retrospective character of the Dili. Mr.WXLtON supported the view taken by Mr. Sumner, and contended that the circumstances in favor of putting these troops on an equality with the others from the time that they had been in the service were even stronger than the Senator had represented. Mr. LANE, of Indiana, opposed the x vinj of back pay io.these troops, a» we had already filled our contingent thus He did not think tney were as good as white troops, and If they were they are fighting for a hisher boon than money. Mr. WILSON defended the colored troops for their bravely, and claimed that for endurance they were so penor to white. Mr. DOOLITTLE said he would, to-morrow, offer two amendments to the hilt; one giving the' Secretary of War the discretionary power to decide as to the merits of ihe claims for hack pay. Including only those who had been deluded into the service under an erroneous construction ot the statute, and the other to deduct in insurrectionary districts the sum of five doll-rs from their monthly pay to teimburse the Government for ex pense incurred in feeding and clothing their wives and children. Mr. GONNE6S desiring to discuss the bill, moved that the whole subject should lie over, TUe Senate went into executive session, and soon af terwards adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
