Senate.—January 9. —Mr. Sumner offered
resolutions of inquiry into the alleged kidnap
§ing offreedmen, which were adopted. Mr.
umner read _ a letter from a gentleman in
Alabama, setting forth that the facts stated
in the above preamble actually exist, and that
Federal officers were among the guilty parties.
Mr. Wilson gave -notice of a bill to increase
the regular army.
January 10.i—Mr. Wilson introduced a bill
reorganizing the regular army, by which the
peace establishment is to consist of seven
regiments of artillery, ten of cavalry, and
sixty ot infantry. The Senate bill, granting
•negro suffrage in the District of Columbia
was debated, but no final action was taken.
Mr. Howe made a speech against immediate
reconstruction.
January 11. —The bill to authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to appoint assistant
assessors of the Internal. Revenue was taken
up. Mt. Sumner offered a proviso as an
amendment that no person shall be appointed
to the office of Assistant Assessor without
being required to take the oath prescribed by
act of Congress. As, however, this is already
a law of the land, Mr. Sumner withdrew the
amendment, after having rebuked the Secre
tary for violating it, whereupon the bill
passed. The resolution for appointing new
Provisional Governors in the South was taken
up and debated by Reverdy Johnson.
January 12.—A bill of amendments to
Postal Laws from January, 1867, was intro
duced. Mr. MorriUj of Maine, from the
Committee on the District of Columbia, re
ported the bill to regulate the elective fran
chise in the District. It is the same as re
cently presented, with the provision requir
ing the elector to be able to read the Consti
tution in the English language and to write
his name stricken out.
.January 15. —A joint resolution calling for
the trial of Jeff. Davis and 0. G. Olay by
epurt martial,.was offered. Also a resolution
for a proclamation of non-intercourse with
Great Britain, .....
House.—-January 9.—Mr. : Stevens was
made Chairman of the. Committee on the
Military and Postal Railroad from Wash
ington to New York. The Senate was
requested to return the bill, as it had been
passed under a misapprehension. Mr. Voor
hees, the notorious western copperhead, had
the assurance to offer resolutions endorsing
the President’s policy, and argued for the im
mediate admission of the Southern States. Mr.
Bingham, of Ohio, administered a severe and
well-merited rebuke. He repelled every inti
mation that the Representatives here have
manifested the slightest disposition to inter
fere with the just prerogatives of the Presi
dent, or to make' up a conflict with him. If
the day ever comes when he will find no sup
porters except those who in 1864 were buried
so deep that the hand of resurrection can
never find them, then God help the Presi
dent, and save him from his friends. (Ap
plause, which was checked by the Speaker.)
January 10.—The Naval Appropriation
bill was reported; the Committee on Ways
"and Means was instructed, if expedient, to
relieve. the tobacco manufacturers from the
heavy internal revenue tax, and to revise the
income tax; and the Committee of Commerce
was instructed to inquire into the feasibility
■of deepening the channel from New York
harbor through. the Hellgate. Resolutions
expressing confidence in the President were
introduced and laid over. The President
was called upon for copies of the charges
against Davis, Clay, Mallory, and Yulee; for
information as to the Express Company
■organized in New York byMaximiliait. Vari
ous resolutions were referred to Committees.
The House bill granting negro suffrage in the
•District of Columbia was debated, but no
action was taken.- Judge Kelley made an
earnest speech in defence of the bill, in which
he asked if the returning rebels were given
the right to vote, why should not suffrage be
conferred on the colored patriots who fought
for us ? The President had publicly said that
if he were in Tennessee he would favor the
extension of suffrage to black men, and so
(die President would here, as he had assured
him personally. He (Mr. Kelley) would
never prove such an ingrate as to deny justice
to the colored defenders of their country.
He spoke for an hour" in defence of his posi
tion, and pleaded the cause of die oppressed
of all lands.
_ January 11. —The Committee on Territo
ries was instructed to inquire into the expe
diency of reporting a bill to repeal the act
organizing tjhe Territory of Utah, and to
divide the said Territory, attaching one part
thereof to Nevada, and the other to the Ter
ritories lying contiguous. The debate on the
suffrage bill was resumed. Judge Kelley
said that when the Constitution of the United
States was adopted, the free colored men of
New Jersey and States adjoining, and all the
•States in the Union, excepting South Caro
lina, aud probably with the exception of Del
aware and Virginia, in which suffrage was
Tegulated by statute and not constitutional
provisions, were citizens, and did vote to the
Convention that framed the Constitution, and
did v,Qte bn the question of its adoption.
January 12, —The Committee of Ways and
Means was instructed to inquire into the expe
diency of repealing the internal revenue tax on
paper and all Bibles, Testaments and other re
ligious works, and school books used in col
leges and academies. A motion, with a view
to increasing the pay of members of Congress
and employees, was laid,on the table, 147 to
5. The debate on _ the suffrage bill was re
sumed. The galleries were two-thirds filled
with colored people, many of whom were sol
diers. Messrs. Grinnell, of lowa, and Bing
ham, of Ohio, made some powerful argu
ments in its favor, while Chanler, who glories
in hailing from the Five Points district of
New York, made a rabid and cowardly assault
upon the whole colored race, and evinced just
such ignorant and debased views as incited the
New York riots,* whi'e the Union army was
wrestling with Lee’s invading hordes. Messrs.
Bingham and Gyinnell both scored him fear
fully, to the great delight of the galleries.
January 15. —Mr. Stevens proposed inquir
ing into the expediency of modifying the test
oath, so as. to remove restrictions on attor
neys applyirig for practice. Passed—B2 to
77. Statements in regard to the removal of
articles from the White House by Mrs. Lin
coln were made. The subject is in the hands
of a Committee. *
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1866.
THE STATES.
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania furnished a tenth of their
population to the army. Indiana and Illinois
did more. Kansas gave 18 per cent. The
large proportion of males in her population
in part accounted for this surplus. •
New Jersey. —The Legislature organized
January 9th. James M. Scovel was chosen
President of the Senate, and John Hill,
Speaker of the House. The debt of New
Jersey is $2,818,119.
Maryland. —The Com Exchange of Balti
more, has elected a disloyal board of directors.
District of Columbia.—Nearly all of the
parties charged with complicity in the out
rages committed at Alexandria on Christmas
day, have been arrested by the military
authorities, and active measures have been
adopted for the apprehension of those still at
large. It is. supposed they will be arraigned
before a military commission to be appointed
by Maj.-Gen. Augur.
Virginia.—The Stay Law just passed by
the Legislature, has been so modified as to
except debts contracted since the close of the
war.
North. Carolina. —The Commissioner of
the Freedmen’s Bureau says that most of the
liberated slaves remain quietly work on the
farms of their former masters, and but little
vagrancy exist, which latter is more common
among the whites than among the negoes.
Georgia. —lt is reported that in the first
three months of 1566, §>5,000,000 of cotton
tax will be collected at Macon, Georgia,
alone.——The Superintendent of Freedmen
in Georgia has instructed his agents to com
pel the freedmen to agree to labor-contracts
when sufficient wages are offered.
Arkansas. —A body of negroes on the Red
River rose in arms about January Ist, and
tried to murder their overseers, but failing
in this, mbrched to another place and waitec
reinforcements, but the militia nabbed them
all without serious difficulty, and arrested
their accomplices on the plantations where
arms and ammunition were found secreted
in quantities. Before this affair the freed
men had refused to work in that section.
_ Alabama. —A special despatch to the Mo
bile Advertiser, dated Jan. Bth, says that Gen.
Thomas officially informed Governor Patton
■that all the United States troops will he re
moved from that State, and arms and ammu
nition . furnished to the State militia, and
provision for destitute families will be fur
nished to the State. The same "report comes
from Georgia, concerning the withdrawal of
troops. Per contra, Gen. Grant’s reply to
the application for the removal of the troops
is given to the Associated Press, Jan. 15th,
as follows: “Forthe present, and until there
is full security for equitably maintaining the
the right and safety of all classes of citizens in
"the States lately in rebellion, I would not
recommend the withdrawal of the United
States troops from them. The number of
interior garrisons might be reduced, but a
moveable force sufficient to insure tranquility
should be retained. While such a force is
retained in the South, I doubt the propriety
of milting arms in the hands of the militia .”
Gen. S wayne, Assistant Commissioner of
Freedmen for the State of Alabama, reports
that in some localities the planters have
made strong combinations against - employ
ing their former slaves, but'the slaves suc
ceeded in breaking, them up. The average
contract price for the labor of male hands is
$lO per month, including quarters, food and
medical attendance for the entire family.
Female hands get $8 per month. The
Commissioner estimates that there are in the
State five thousand Northern men, for wliom
the freedmen show a decided preference.
The demand for labor in all portions of the
State is greater than the supply. The
steamer Lillie, loaded with Government cot
top, was seized by outlaws in the Alabama
River, and partly unloaded, when she was
retaken at _ Montgomery by a detachment of
the 21st Missouri.
Tennessee. —The New York limes judges
that one of the largest cotton producing
States in the Union this year will be Tennes
see. It says:—“ We see no reason why Ten
nessee should not furnish half a million
bales.” A school to accommodate one
thousand five hundred negro children "has
been establed at Nashville.
Wisconsin. —During the war the State
furnished 91,373 men, an excess of 1263 over
all calls, and equal to more than one from
every two voters.
Lqjisiana.—An acoustic telegraph has
been invented by Dr. Everett, of New
Orleans. No electricity, and no poles are
used.
Missouri and Kansas.—A Kansas City,
Mo., despatch, January 3, says:—“The an
ticipated heavy spring immigration to this
place has already commenced, the arrivals
being greater than, at any previous time.
Eastern capitalists are taking up business lots
rapidly, and labor and material for building
are inadequate to the demand. An Atchi
son, Kansas, paper gives a statement of the
amount of freight sent Westward, through
that place in 1865: —“Twenty-seven firms
and individual freighters were engaged in
this trade during the year, and the aggregate
amount of their shipments was .21,500,000
pounds of assorted merchandise, requiring
for its transportation 5000 wagons, over 7000
mules and horses, and nearly 80,000 oxen,
and employing upwards of 5000 men. Ov3r
half of the freight went to Colorado, and the
remainder to different points in Utah, Mon
tana,Neva<}a, Idaho, New Mexico, Nebraska,
and Western Kansas. The total capital in
vested in this trade was over $6,000,000, and
the value of the merchandise and machinery
transported is not definitely known. The
overland coaches, which leave and arrive here
daily, have taken out and brought in over
four thousand passengers, and ‘have also
brought here $2,400,000 in specie, and have
carried out forty-six thousand pounds of ex
press freight. ”
MISCEI,I,AX£»IS,
Keeping the Sabbath.—Speaker Colfax
left Washington late on Friday night, went
to Poughkeepsie and lectured on Saturday
night, and was back promptly on-Monday
morning to call the House to order at twelve
o’clock, without having traveled any on the
Sabbath. This is a good example set in high
places.
Rev. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, who
has lately returned from a tour through the
Southern States, says, in a lecture on their
condition, that of all Southerners, the women
and the clergy are the most malignant, and
that he would have been glad if President
Johnson had added to the classes excepted
from amnesty, the preachers of all denomi
nations and the editors of newspapers.
Every one of them should have been obliged
to file a statement of his antecedents with his
application for pardon.
The Freedmen in England.—The people
of England are making large contributions in
money aud clothing for the Freedmen. The
Secretary of the treasury has directed the
Collector of the port of New York to admit
free of duty all invoices coming to this coun
try from the Birmingham Association, Eng
land, for the relief of the Freedmen of the
United States. This association has been
commendably active in its benefactions to the
Freedmen, its last invoices, consisting mostly
of clothing, amounting to over $3OOO.
Chloroform in the Army.— ln the history
of 23,260 cases of surgipal operations in the
field and the hospitals, chloroform was used
in sixty per cent, of these operations, etherin
thirty percent., and a mixture of both in ten
per cent. In general hospitals it was conce
ded that ether was the safest. No fatal
accident from its use is reported. In field
operations chloroform was almost exclusively
used. It was used in 80,000 cases, seven of
which were fatal, viz : two rebels, four Union
privates, and the case of Colonel McGilvrey,
Chief of Artillery, Tenth Corps, who inhaled
two drachms of chloroform for an excision of
the finger. He died suddenly, before the
operation was commenced.
FOREIGN.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
From papers on this subject, laid before
Congress, Jan. 9, we learn that on July 17th,
of last year, a special agent arrived in Wash
ington from Mexico, bearing a letter from
Maximilian to the President of the United
States, with papers making certain explana
tions relative to transactions on the Rio
Grande. On the very next day,the Secretary,
after conference with the President, returned
the letter, saying that the United States was
in friendly communication with the Republi
can Government of Mexico, and, therefore,
that the President declined to recive the
letter or to hold intercourse with the agent
who brought it.
November 6th, Mr. Seward sent a dispatch
to Minister Bigelow at the court of Napoleon,
remonstrating against both the French occu
pation of Mexico, and the attempt to estab
lish a monarchical form of Government there.
Mr. Bigelow, under date of November 30th,
reports reading the despatch of Mr. Seward
to Drouyn De L’Huys, who thanked him,
though he felt obliged to say that he derived
neither pleasure nor ’ satisfaction from its
contents.
Mr. Seward, December 16th, says: “It is
the President’s purpose that France should
be respectfully informed upon to points.
First, That the United States earnestly de
sire to cultivate sincere friendship with
France. . Secondly, That his policy would be
broughtinto imminent jeopardy unless France
could deem it consistent with her interest
and honor, to desist from the prosecution of
armeg intervention in Mexico, to overthrow
the domestic republican Government existing
there, and to establish on its ruins the foreign
monarchy which has attempted to be inau
gurated in. the capital of that countryand
in conclusion, ■ says that the United States
will not recognize Maxmilian, even if the
French troops should be withdrawn from
Mexico.
There is also a confidential letter from Min
ister Drouyn de L’Huys to Marquis de Mon
tholon, dated Paris, October 18th, 1865, say
ing he had renewed the assurance of the
strong desire of the French Government te
withdraw its auxiliary corps so soon as cir
cumstances will allow it. The French Go
vernment had been ready to adopt without
delay the. basis of an understanding on the
subject with the Government of Washington;
what it asked of the United States was to be
assured that it is not their intention to im
pede the consolidation of the new order of
things found in Mexico, and the best guar
antee the French Government could desire
would be their, recognition of the Emperor
Maximilian by the Federal Government.
Secretary Seward, under date of December
6, 1865, writes a letter to Marquis de Mon
tholon, in which he says, after a review of all
the facts, “ the President is gratified with the
assurances you have given, of the Emperor’s
good disposition. I regret, however, to be
obliged to say the condition which the Em
peror presents is one which seems to be im
practicable.”
Maximilian has been omitted from the list
of Catholic sovereigns to whom the Pope
sends the customary felicitations. News
from the Rio Grande to Jan. 4th, says that
the Imperialists surprised a small camp of
the Liberals, killing twelve and caupturing
thirty meD, who are to be executed by Max
imilian’s order. Gen. Crawford has address
ed Weitzel on the subject, asking him to pre
vent the murder. The latter replied that he
had entered a solemn protest against the
act, but Mejia informed him that he was
compelled to obey the orders of his Govern
ment.
Great Britain—Two regiments liad been
sent suddenly, Dec. 28, to Ireland. The
cattle plague is on the decrease. The rate
of taxation will again be reduced. The
London Times, in an editorial on Mexican
affairs, argues that Napoleon will peaceably
withdraw from Mexico, sooner or later, and
urges America, for the interests of all con
cerned, to quietly await the result, and ab
stain from inconsiderate expressions on the
subject. U. S. 5-20’s had receded to 64£,
but closed at 65f. Dates to the 24th of
December, say that further diplomatic corres
pondence on the rebel pirate question had
taken place. Minister Adams had informed
the foreign secretary that England’s propo
sition for a joint commission was defined by -
our Government. Earl Clarendon says Eng
land cannot deviate from her course, and that
further correspondence on the subject will not
do any good. A Eenian leader, Charles N.
O'Connell had been found guilty of treason,
and sentenced to ten years penal servitude.
Sir Henry S torkes is formally gazetted as Capt
tain-General and Governor of Jamaica,; pend
ing the prosecution of certain inquiries. h
Russell Gurney, M. P. and Recorder of Lon- Jj
don, consented to serve as a member of the Jg
commission. The 'limes says the appoint- (q
ment of Gurney proves a desire on the part
of the government that the inquiry should be
conducted in the most impartial manner.
Three Englishmen, Lord Alfred Harvey,
Hon. Mr. Strutt, and Mr. Coore, had been
captured by brigands in Greece. The two
first-named had been liberated, Mr. Coore
being retained as security for the ransom,-
which is £l,OOO each.
The Daily News points out that the ab
sorption of American stocks throughout Eu
rope, has lately been more extensive than
was ever before known, and says this is one
cause of the depreciation of English securi
ties.
France—The Independence Beige has been
excluded from the country by the authorities.
lt is confirmed that the' French govern
ment resolves to withdraw from the Extra
dition Treaty with England. The treaty ex
pires in June next.
Knowing and Trusting us Better than
we do Ourselves. —Advices from Frankfort
state that since the receipt of the President’s
message a most extensive business has taken
place in American stocks, accompanied by a
rise of 3b per cent, in two days. The out
standing speculations in the shape of options
for the end of the year mainly contributed to
this movement, which has carried prices to a
point two per cent, above those at Ne.w York.
At the same time the German public gener
ally have resumed purchases in them for in
vestment, and are so exclusive in ther par
tiality that all advertisements for the Turkish
or other loans or shares in any company prove
entirely, unattractive.
Hungary. —In the Lower House of the
Hungarian Diet, Count Andrassy, the newly
elected President, made an inaugural speech,
in which he argued that the rights of -Hun
gary were in unison with the interests of the
empire, but that Parliamentary centralization
was opposed to those rights.
Turkey. —A great revolt of Circassian emi
grants had taken place at Mouseh, and many
lives were lost
Italy , —The resignation of the ministry is
confirmed.
Austria.—The Minister of Finance had
forbidden the pryment of the January divi
dend of Austrian credit, and the council
of administration had therefore tendered their
resignation.
