8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHIL AD ELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1866. C 0 3V GRESS. RtNAIt;. Washington, Feb. 27, 1W. Nonttiern Iteprenentatlves. The morning hour expired, and the concurrent reso lution that no .Senator or lleprewntatlve be received In either House from any of the late rebellion Miate, until mrh Ktate Khali have been declared entitled to representation, having been called up, Mr. IH son's Npeech. Mr. P1XON (Conn.) took the floor, commencing his apeech with an allusion to the argument or Mimn. l-ettiieiiden, Trumbull and Hhermnn. Jle did not think it v. aa much lor Mr. lessetiden to nay, as be did in his I ant Kpeech, that he Ibought the President would not be nutrue to his country. That wna not much to be aaid ol a man with such a record oi iwirlotlim and U vnt on to country, but there were nlrcoiiistnnres to be taken Into consideration. When till wax culd the J'reattient was being denounced In the other House, and in the Senate Mr. Wiide h) spoken In very aevere terms concerning him. He believed that the only means of saving I lie country wan by the policy adopted by Hie l'leMdi'iit; And, believing this, be was V tiling to overlook dilleietices of detail which will ex ist between him and the President as to the carrying out ol this policy, iiedid not believe there whs any jirlnclnle Involved In the Keedmen's Ilureitu bill, and n voting lor It In the Hist place he did not commit In in se 1 1 in any way, unless lis a friend of the frceuinen, which be still was. The policy the President w.ih now pin-suing was the policy which he (Mr. Iiixon) bad ad VociitcM since the commeiicfuient ol the war He voted (or the l-'ieediiien's bill, though he thought It ol Icci loniible in many respects. He was not of those w ho nelteved that because a mini was a conservative lie might therefore to hiitethe neirroes. Ho was will ing to vote money as freely for black men as for whites, and so werethe constituents he represented. He would never ask whether a sillier! tig man was white or black. It was enough for him to know that there was suller Jiik, and I but they were human hcines who sufl'ered. Mr. 1)1 XON next referred to Mr. Fesnenden's objec tions to the veto mesMige, In which he (Kessenden) expressed the opinion that. It the President had con fined hiniscl! to his objections tothebill he mlghthave voted to siistiiln tlie veto. For this reason Mr. Dixon wihhed the President had omitted thelalierpart of his message, though he did not think such a consideration slmnlci have Influenced a vole on sucli an Important measure. Jle was nimble to see what principle was in volved in (lie veto miK'Oige. He did not believe the President would have vetoed the bill on account of the oliiclUin contained lu the last purt of the niesugi, htit that lie had been prompted to do so by lilteen other objections to the bill Itself, which were ni.iy set forth In the mcssiige. Mr. KKSSl.N I 'EN, Interrupting, said that the clear Inference from the huigiinge of the Veto Message was, that the Henaie hud nothing to do In the cae of South ern Senators tint to examine credentials: that It had nothing lo ilo with the condition of the Kebel stales. Mr. DIXON said the Senate of the United States had exclusive iui tmlictlon over lis own member and their qualifications. It was a matter for each House lo ex amine for llHClf. Colloquial. Mr. THTJMT1TJ I.Lsnlfl, suppose that In time of peace the l egislature of Tennessee is disloyal, and swears ulleglauce to Maximilian, does the Senator from Con necticut deny Die authority of Congress to declare such, tin act Invalid? Mr. HlXON.ln reply, desired to ask Mr. Trumbull suppose the Tennessee Legislature to elect Maximilian a Senator, and the Senate to decide to receive hi in as nnch, could Congress Interfere In the matter? Could the House of Hepreselitnllves Interfere? Mr. TKUM JiUl.lj said that if Mr. Dixon wished to ask him fl the Senate had physical power to do what he suggested, he had no doubt of It. The Senate hud the same right to do so that a Jury ot twelve men hud to bring lu u verdict directly against the testimony of a hundred witnescos to perjure tliem Kclves. Mr. DIXON said the Senate had no more right, nor was no more apt to perjure ttself than Congress. He contended uguiu for the right of each House to judge tor Itself. Mr. KIllKWOOI) (Iowa) asked Mr. Dixonlf hoheld that the Senate had no more Jurisdiction over t he uucRtion of receiving Senators from Houth Carolina than It had In the ease ol Senators from Iowa? Mr. DIXON said the iiuestion upon receiving Sena tors from South Carolina was one to bo determined by the Senate. When the Senators come here there was no doubt ol the power of the Stfiiule over the matter. Mr. DIXON did not believe any act of readmlsslon was necessary. If a husband and wife separated for live years, they would not, lu coming together again, need re-marrying. Mr. tiltlMKS asked Mr. Dixon If he understood the President to maintain that each and all of the lately rebellious States are lu u tit condition to be re presented In Congress. Mr. DIXON replied that was n question for each House to determine for Itself. Itefei clng to the Presi dent's policy he was Interrupted by Mr. WADE, who said he did tint know what that policy was. He knew that the President was violently opposed to what Con gress was doing, and called Senators and ltcpreseutu llves who til tiered from him traitors, Mr. DIXON Not all traitors. Mr. WADE Hedid not name us all. I know. Alter some further lernurks Mr. DIXON anli. In conclusion, What is the difference of Opinion existing between the rresiilehl bt UiO United Slates and those who are opposed to his reconstruction policy In the two Houses of Congress? I certainly disclaim, of course, any right to slate what are his opinions, ex cept as they are given to us in authentio public docu ments. From these alone I obtain his views. That tbeseare misrepresented. Intentionally or otherwise, should not perhaps surprise those who consider how seldom a candid statement of the true question at issue Is made by the advocates of conflicting doctrines mid opinions. It would seem impossible, in view of the frank and explicit utterances which the President lias often made of his opinions, to create in the public mind a misappreneiision of bis views, Vet this, to a certain extent, has been done. He Is supposed by many to urge the admission of disloyal men from the Rebel States to the two houses of Congress. He is charged with a purpose to bring into their former places in this body bloody-handed Kebels. He Is said to wish to throw wide open the doors of Congress, and till those seals with traitors fresh from the batlle-flelds of the liebellloit. What Is Ills true position? I might refer lo the published statement of bis views In his remarks to a delegation of Virginians the other day. In which be explicitly declared his opinion that only loyal men should be Appointed to ofllce. But I prefer to take his latest authentic written declarations. I shall rend from Ids veto message, louud in that document Is the fol lowing: I hold It my duty to recommend to you In the In terests of peace and In the Interests of the Union, the admission of every State to its share in public legisla tion when, however Insubordinate, Insurgent or rebel lions ltB people may have been.lt presents Itself nut only in an attitude of loyalty and harmony, but In the persons of representatives whose loyally cannot be questioned under any existing constitutional or legal tests." Such Is the language of the President In his veto message. (Jan it be misunderstood? Can It be mis represented ? What are existing constitutional and legal tests but the oath required by the Constitution and the still stronger test oath prescribed by law? Having stated what he recommends, the President then slates what he Is opposed to, as follows : " It Is plain that an ludellulte or permanent exclu sion of any part or the country from representation must be attended by a spirit oi disquiet and complaint. It Is unwise and dangerous to pursue a course ot mea sures which will unite a very large section of the country against another section of the country, how ever much the latter may preponderate. The course of emigration, the development of Industry and busi ness, and natural causes will raise up at the South men as devoted to the Union as those of any other part of the land, lint If they are excluded from Con gress. If In a permanent statute, they are declared not to be in full constitutional relations to the country, they may think they have cause to become a uuit lu Jeellng and sentiment against the Government." This Is what the President Is opposed to. We havo, therefore, what he recommends and what he disap proves, lie recommends the admission to Congress of loyal men, who can take the required oaths, provided they come from Slates which present themselves in an attitude ol harmony and loyalty. He disapproves a permanent or indefinite exclusion of all representa tion, regardless of the loyalty of the representative or the people. Here, then, the issue Is fairly presented. How could lie state it more distinctly? Yet we are dally told that the President desires to throw wide open the doors ot Congress to bloody-handed itebels. . Do where you will. In the halls of representation as well as In the public press, you will And the opponents of his policy staling the question in this form. Mr. President, what now are the two great systems of policy with regard to reconstruction and reunion on which the minds ot the people ot this country are to day divided. One of these systems known by way of distinction as that of the President, is Indicated in the words which. 1 have cited from his veto message. It contemplates a carelul, cautious, discriminating admission of a loyal representation from loyal states and districts lu the appropriate house of Congress, by me separate action of each, every case to be considered by Itself and de cided on Its own merits. I recognize the right of everv loyal State and district to be represented by loyal men in Congress. It draws the true Hue of distinction be tween traitors and true men. It furnishes to the States lately In Rebellion the trongest possible Inducement lo loyally and fidelity to Hie Government. It makes treason odious, by showing that, w hile the traitor and the rebel are ex cluded from Congress, the loyal and the faithful are cordially received. It recognizes and rewards loyalty wherever It Is found, and it distinguishes, as it ought, between a Horace Maynard and a Jell'erson Davis. What Is the other policy ? It contemplates the entire exclusion of representation In their houses of Con gress from any State lately in Rebellion. Irrespective of lu present loyalty, or the character or its people, until the adoption or certain measures not definitely Slated, whose advocates agree neither as to the mea sures proper, nor lu the reasons given for their sup- port; this exclusion to continue for at) ltidefinlto and unlimited period of time, declared by some to be for rive years, by some thirty years, and by some, lu a certain contingency, forever. The entire region comprised within the thirteen se ceding Slates. Including Tennessee, to be held mean while as conuuered territory, and he governed hm xnh. ject provinces by the central power, and the people thereof to be ruled as vassals, liable and subject ne cessarily at all times to taxation, while thus wholly deprived of representation, and of every right of self government: and now. to tender certain this policy, or ( ivust in view ot u. it is proposeu oy tue resolution now under consideration to enact, so far as such nun. lift ion can enact, that Deither House of Congress shall admit a member from any one of the Hiatus lately in Itebelllon, whatever iiihv be his past or present charac ter and conduct, and however true and loyal may be the people by whom he Is elected, until the consent by an act of Conirress. nassed bv both Iioiishm. mid Mlirm.1 hv the President, in the face of the express provisions it tin) Constitution, thut each House shall be the judge of the elections, qualifications and returns or It own n emheis. Thpse, Mr. President, are the two systems of policy t ow picsented tor the consideration of this country. One or the other must be adopted by the Government, All minor Issues, and all Intermediate views and opinions, must gravitate towards and be absorbed by one or ihe other of these great commanding systems of policy, and all questions of local Interest or or minor detail In the work or reconstruction become, therefore, unimportant, and may be left out of con sideration. I have staled what I believe to be the true if sue lu the briefest form of words. Here. In my Judgment, Is the whole ot this vastqnes tlon which Is to agitate the public mind of this coun try, and the decision of which Is to shape Its govern mental policy for a long number of years. All points of mere detail In regard to It will be lost slghtot, and forgotten In view of the vast and overwhelming Ides of the permanent and fraternal reunion of the people of eveiv one of those states under ecommon flag and a common representative Government. II Is Impossible, in the natuielot things, that the public mind shold be occupied by any other poll'ical question. Until this Is decided finally nnd forever no versonul or party con sideration can divert the eager attention of the people fiom the exclusive Invextigntlon of this question, nor can any thoughtful mind doubt as to the .final deci sion. llefore the war, the love of the TTnlon was the pas sion ol the loyal national heart, and now that the war Is over, Its pi ssion v, ill be reunion. For brief period the disheveled sections of our country may be held span by the main force of party and ot faction, but every day the mutual attraction of the separated parts Is growing stronger and more Irresistible. If there are anv who attempt to hold litem asunder, their fate w ill he that of Mllo. "The Koman, who, when ho rent the oak, declaimed tint ol the rebound." They may be crushed, but the Union will be restored under a Con stitution amended and purified, by which slavery Is lorever abolished, and freedum, with all lis incidents, lorever guaranteed. Delleving the first named policy to be, as has been conclusively proved by the distinguished Senator from Wbconsln, that of President Lincoln, and, that adopt ing It, President Johnson has hut followed in the path of ills predecessor, and believing also that this policy Is hut a continuation of the great struggle In defense ot the noble cause of the Union, for which President Lincoln and all his martyred brethren died. I declare my confident trust that the people will support and uphold Andrew Johnson In Its advocacy ana defense, as In the darkest days of the wur they supported uud li( laid Abraham Lit. coin. Mr. Trumbull' Remnrk. At the conclusion ot Mr. Dixon's remarks, Mr. ThUMlSUMi (111.) rose to controvert the position tsken by Mr. Dixon, Unit the Senate had a right lo Judce of the condition of the Slate at the time of the election ot Senators. He maintained that Congress, and not each House lor Itself, must decide this ques tion. He did not want any law for tho admission of tlie Itehel Slates, but he ilid want some recognition by Congress of loyal state Governments In the South be fore these Slates were admit led to representation. Ho desired lo know ol M r. I Uxon If, while tlie State of Tennessee v, as lighting against the Government, she hud a right lo representation here? Mr. SALI-SUUKY (Del.) said he would answer that question. When armed resistance ceased and Federal authority was restored In Tennessee, that moment iier Senators and liepresentallves had a right to ad mission to Congress, and no oilier oath ought to be re quired of them than iiiioululo support the Constitu tion ot the United Stales, Mr, TRUMliUIXsald that was dodging the ques tion. He wikhed lo'knnw what would be the result if Tennessee bad sent Representatives and Heuulors while at war against the United states? Mr. SAU'l.SllUllY said that never having recognized the right ol a State to go out of the Union and assume Independent relations In reference to the Govern ment, a Stale would not. In his opinion, he entitled to representation in Congress while at war against tho Government, hut when pence came she was untitled to representation. Jle did not know the inclining of the word lovaliy applied tor epnbhcs. Mr. '1 lt,UM W'LL said there might he some doubt as to the lime when peace actually comes. Mr. SAU'LsltUItY explained that he did not wish It to go to the country that he did not know the meaning of the word lovaliy. What he meant to have said was that lie did not know the exact meaning as used by the Republican party. During the war he knew w hat It meant according to his Interpretation, which wus obedience to the laws, and the Constitution of his country and his Stale. Mr. COWAN (Pa.) We had nt ono time. In the Stale of Pennsylvania, two Legislatures In session at the same time, two Houses of Representatives and two Senates. What 1 want to know distinctly from the Senator from Illinois Is whether If one of theso Legislatures had e!e led a Senator, and his credentials had been presented to tho Senate, whether the Judi ciary Committee would not have tho right to Inquire whether lliat was or was not a legitimate Legislature of Pennsylvania. Mr. TRUMltULL-Was the State Government Of Pennsylvania overthrown and undur traitors at the time? , Mr. COWAN I can't say It was: though It was thought by a great many of the people that half of it was. Mr. TRCMMTI L sold the coses were not analngons. In tlie cases of Pennsylvania, as suggested bv Mr. Cowan, It would simply be a question whether a cer tain man was duly elected. In the case ot the lately Kebel states it was a question wnotiier the legislative was composed of loyal men or of Rebels. Alter some iunuer remarks irom air. i uum nui.i., In support ot the full power of Congress to decide on the fitness of the Southern States for representation, Mr. Nye obtained the floor and the bonute, at 4 ;u P. M., ndjourued. IIOrSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Chinese. Mr. NII1LACK (Ind.) Inquired whether the pro K.sed amendment wus intended to ull'ect the Chinese n Calllornla. Mr. HIGH Y refilled that If the Government would get rid of tlie treaty with China, the people of Call or nia would get rid of the Chinese. He knew something about Chinamen; he did not believe that the gentle man from Indiana did. Mr. Nl BLACK I want Information. Mr. HIGliY The Chinese are nothing but a Pagan race; they are an enigma to me, although I have lived among them lor niteen years, von cannot mait citi zens of them. They do not learn the language of the country. They even dig up their dead after they have oecayeu ill tneir graves, strip tne nesn oix ineir nones and transport the bones back to China. They bring their wooden gods with them nnd kneel down and worship them. The Chinese do not propagate In this country, and a virtuous woman is the exception, not the rule, among them. You cannot make citizens of them. Mr. NIBLACK The majority in this House take the ground that Intelligence is not necessary for the exer cise of the ritlit of vollne. and that it is enough that one belongs to the human race to be regarded as a man und a brother. It Is a question of manhood, uotof race or religion. It the Chinaman Is a member of the human race, why not give mm protection ann politi cal rights as yon profess to give to the negroes? The negro wan a rttguu ueiore u vnuio to tuis country, und a cennibal. Mr. l (if Y-lie is not a pagan now. tie is a native of this country, as much so aa I ana or as the gentle man is. Mr. Ni black on what nrlncime should we ex clude one race and iticlfide another? Mr. IIIGBY The Chinese are foreigners, and the negro is a native. Mr. NI BLACK Why not naturalize the Chinese? Mr. HIGHLY I have given you the reason. Retim ing bis argument lu favor of the proposed amende ment. lie declared, as his belief, that it was necessary for the Federal Congress to bold in its bands the power which it now possessed over the Southern States. Con gress should retain In Its bands the entire subject of slavery, so as to be able to banish really and forever that institution from the country. God knows that was lilt heart's desire. He trusted that the wisdom of the House would run In the same chann el as before. The wonderful radicalism of which they beard so much was mere flimsy talk, got up by the enemies of the country, and should have uo effect upon the minds of congress oroi tue people. Mr. Randall's Objection. Mr. TtAN'DALL (Pa.) stated his objection to the proposed amendment. lie was actuated by no politi cal consideration or Influence of association. He based bis oblections simply on the fact that States to be affected by it, and lo conform to It hereafter as the fundamental law of the country, were not here repre sented. Here was Congress, with eleven Slates un reiin sented, a portion of which was necessary lo the adoption of the amendment before It could be adopted legally and according to the spirit and letter of the Constitution. That twenty-seven States were neces sary for that purpose could not be successfully gain Faid. The Supreme Court had over and over again declared that the Stnies in rebellion were not ouly la the Union, but bad never been out of the Union. The Kxeculive. adopting the views of his predeces sor, had declared, under the seal of the Secretary of state, that twenty-seven states were necessary to tne adoption of any amendment lo the Constitution. It would be Impossible to determine the question con trary to the soiled conviction of the Supreme Court, and to the firm and almost unanimous belief of the peoplo of the country. He desired that any constitu tional amendment should be participated in by those who are loyal in tne Rebel states. The Southern States would have Just grounds to defeat any amendment adopted by this Congress if they had uo participation in the discussion and notion upon it. He did not want any disloyal men on this floor, but when Representa tives come here prepared to take even the iron-clad oath. It was revolutionary and unjust, and against the will of the Arrericuu people, to withhold from them that representation. He went no further than to de mand the admission as representatives of men who have ever been loyal. No further would be go. Referring to President Johnson, lie declared his be lief that, it the Democratic members here did not sup port htm, the masses of the people would array them selves ugulnst them. The people supported Andrew Johnson from the purest and most patriotic motives. Their cun and measure of patriotism were full lu that respect. He (Randall) had never been the ad voeate of Jtetiels or of Retielllon, But the iteoeiiion was over the Itebels had laid down their arms, and the Kebel States now ask that Congress should admit representatives of those who were ova . This was lite issue here: no thing further. Why not admit such representatives? That was the noiut which this Coueress would have to explain to the American people. Hedid not sulwcribe to all the doctrines enunciated yesterday by the gen tleman from New Jersey (Mr. Kogers), but so far as sustaining the policy to which he adverted, he Joined hands wiih hliu. Until the Southern States were re presented here, be snoiild feel compelled to cast his vote against any proposition looking to an amendment of the Constitution, winch was hereafter to govern the wuoie country, Jutlice Kflley'a Remarks. Mr. KF.I.I.E Y (Pa.) declared that be should support the proposed amendment, not because he believed It absolutely needed, but because there were some mem bers on the Republican side of the House who doubled that the powers to be allected by the amendment were nut alreudy to be louud lu the Constitution. He be lieved that they were to be found there. He proceeded lo read ni length from the debates of the various state conventions to adopt the Constitution to show that tlie lonrin section nl the first article, giving congress tne power to regulate the time, place and manner of hold ing e'ecllons for Senators and Representatives, con ferred power on Couitress to regulate iheuuuliilcallons ol tltctois. Intcrrnptlon. Mr. CJTANDLF.P. (N. Y.) Interrupted Mr, Keller to ask whether be recognized the vetODowrr as uncon stitutional power, or aa an exercise of a constitutional power. Mr. KF'.I.T.KY. T recognlw the reto power as one of the Kxeculive functions, which any President legiti mately exercises, and I know that It Is exercised under a responsibility to Congress nnd tlie people. His hour having elapsed, and Mr. Hale bavlug ob tained the floor. . Mr. KLU.i.Y asked that bis time should be ex tended. Mr. If ALF. said that he would yield If the gentle man (Mr. Kelley) would only assure hi in that he wotnn touch t tie subject before tne House, wuicu ne bd not yet done. Mr. Kl LLF.Y said be bad been laying good nre- mlst s in order to enable him lo make a conclusive argument on the question belure the House. Mr. HALK would yield the Moor with that under standing, i Mr. KFLLF.Y resumed lils argument, rending. mining other matters, tho Virginia and Kentucky re- oiutinns ot iti's. Mr. WIIIGHT (N J.) Inquired whether these resolu tions did not insist on State rights. Mi. KFI.I.l-.Y As mv lime, is Inflexibly fixed by the courtesy of the gentleman from New ork, 1 can not step to nreite slue questions. Mr. Vt mun i proceed, sir. Mr. liellry HcMimos. Mr. KKI.I.KY. after further citations, admitted that the scllon of Slate and of the Courts for eighty years bad been against the exercise by Congress or this right. It bad been misconstrued, and although a gap I eighty years stood between this day and the treat era of constitutional truth, the people would yet as sert, and that under Judicial sanction, the original power of the Constitution, In conclusion, he said that as others questioned whether the power contained in the proposed amendmeiilexisted in the Constitution, he bored Congress would submit this amendment lo tlie people, tl.at they might bv it enable Congress to enloice mid maintain those rights. iCpninrk of Hon. Mr. Hnlr. Mr.HAI.IO (N. Y.) rose to stale with great hesita tion why be should vote against the proposed amend ment. It was with great hesitation that he dlll'cred liom the conclusions of the very able Joint Committee which has reported the amendment; a Com nil1 tee composed of gentlemen many of whom were eminent for legnl and constitutional learning', men whose opinions must always carry weight, not only In the jiouse. nut mine country, nut lie was consoled uy the reflection that the recommendation of the Com lniilee did not carry with it, to his mind, so much weight as It might have done It the veil of secresy thiown overall Its proceedings had been removed, and the House could he lavored with the arguments to w bich the ( ommittee had listened. Mr.GRINNKLL (Iowa) asked whether It was not nlwnys the custom to keep the proceedings of Commit tees secret. Mr. HALF should be very happy to favor the gen tleman with his views on that subject and on other subjects, legislative, theological and scientific, hut as It bad nothing to do with the matter in hand, beshould decline going Into that matter. So far as the House vas concerned, all It knew was that a majority ot that committee had reported the bill. It came Into the House with that weight and no more. It did not bear Willi it the accumulated .weight of the unanimous voice of the committee. It seemed to him that no weight of authority ought to bring the House to pass I lie amendment, without at least the most carelul and Fcrnlinlzing examination. That the tenor and elfect ol the iiniciidiiif nl was lo bring about a more radi cal change in the system of the government and to Institute a wider departnro from the theory on which our laibers framed it than hud ever before been roposed lu any legislative or constitutional assem bly. w hat was the theory of the Constitution? Was it not in general tiiat all powers relating to the exercise of national sovereignty, powers relating to peace and war, and to the enlorcementol International law. were given to Congress and the Federal Government by the Constitution, and that all powers allecting tlie rela tions of the Individual citizen to the municipal Govern ment, and all local powers were reserved to the Slate? He submitted Unit the proposed amendment was in ellert a provision under which all state legislation In civil anil criminal codes of procedure affecting the in dividual citizen was to be over-ridden, repealed and abolished, and a law of Congress established in Its place. He maintained that In that respect the amend ment was an utter departure from every principle ever dreamed of by the mon who framed the Consti tution, A Ru lining: Rrbnte. Mr. f?TF,VKNH (Pa.) Does the gentleman mean td say that, under the amendment. Congress can in terfere In any case where the legislation of a State Is equal and Impartial to all? Is it not simply to provide mill wnere mere is u uisiinciton in tue same taw oe tween dlllerenl kinds of individuals, Congresi may correct that? Mr. HALE In mv Judgment It does go much fur ther than the gentleman from Pennsylvania would carry the Ideu. But even if It did not go as far as that, It lssttll open to the same oiijectlou, that it is depart ing entirely from the theory of llio Federal Govern, ment meddling at nil with those matters of State Ju risdiction. It is a grant of tlie most full and amnio powers to Congress to make all laws necessary and proper lor the protection of the rights of lite, liberty ami properly, wiin itie simple proviso inai tne protec tion must be equal. It is not a mere provision that when states undertake to give protection which is not eiiutil. Congress may equalize it. Jt Is a grunt of power in general terms. Mr. iiiLDR iDOr. ( wis.) snggesieu wnetn?r it mignt not operate to, as if some Slates put qualifications on those rights, other Stales would not he required to iciualrze their legislation in the same direction. . IS r. H ALK thought it might very possibly be so, but declined to pursue tliut brunch of the argument. It seemed to him that the necessary reference. In State legislation, should come from the Stale Itself, and not be forced upon it by the centralized power or Con gress. For Instance, most, if not nil of the States, made distinctions ugulnst married women In the mat ter of property. Was it for Congress to remove those distinctions? Mr. fcSl l'A F.NS suggested that where all ot the same class all married women were dealt with lu the Biuiie way, that was not unequal legislation. Mr. HALF; regarded that argument as much morn specious than sound, for by a charity of reasoning it might De saiu tiiai w here oue negro was dean wiin in the same way as another negro, It was not unequal le gislation. He- apprehended that the distinction or class was quite as broiid between negroes and while men as It was between married women and unmar ried women. He Insisted that the American people had not yet found out that the State Governments were liisutlicient to protect the rights and liberties of the citizen. If the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Bing ham) had found It so. he would recommend him to emlfraie to Ntw York, and be would iiud it very dif ferent. Mr. BINGHAM said that the proposed amendment could have no possible elfect In New York. Mr. HALJS it is claimed, i know, that Ills simply meant to protect American citizens of African descent in the Stales lately in rebellion. Mr. BINGHAM Ills Intended as well to protect thousands and tens and hundreds of thousands of loyal w hile citizens ot the United States, whose property, by local Stale legislation, has been wrested fiom them by confiscation ; and to protect them against banishment laws, for which there Is uo Federal statute this day to give redress, Mr. HALE would then modify bis statement, and ay that the amendment was intended ouly to apply to the eleven Stales lately in Rebellion. Mr. BINGHAM It Is intended to apply to evpry State whose legislation Is In direct contravention of it. Mr. KOGF.RS suggested that It applied to Indiana. Mr. BINGHAM 1 do not know that. Mr. HALF; Then It is intended to applyto every State which the Judgment of Congress may have failed to provide equal protection to life, liberty and property. Then we come to the Very thing for which I denounce Ibis proposition. It takes away from the Stales the right lo determine their legislation for themselves. I submit whether this Is not rather the lime to check centralizing of power in the general Government. 1 believe this is. ot all times, the worst time to undertake a radical amendment to tne tonsuniiion. so im mensely extending the powers of the General Govern ment and derogating from the powers of the States. I concede every disposition to protect tlie liberties of the humblest as well as of the iiighcst citizen, of the negro as w ell as of the white man. But let me warn gentlemen that there are other liberties as Important as those of the Individual citi zen, and these are the liberties and rights of the Stales. I believe that we owe our freedom, our pro tection ot rights to our decentralized system, lo the fact that the Government, with which the citizen has Immediate relation, is brought home to him Imme diately, and that he operates immediately upon it. Tlie heresy of state rights has been quelled. Let us see that a more dangerous heresy shall not rise In Its place. I oppose the amendment as unsound In substance, as Impolitic in itself, and as not In con formity or harmony with the theory of the Constitu tion. 1 oppose it as uncalled for at all timet), and as specially uncalled fur now, when our tendencies ought to be all the other way. I especially oppose it for the manlier In which it is sought to be hurried through the House. I do not believe that Hie present lime is fa vorable for the calm, dispassionate consideration ot constitutional law. 1 do not believe that the circnin stances to-day surrounding the House are conducive to deliberation. I ask the gentlemen not to rashly adopt so fundamental a change lu our governmental system as this measure proposes, lit least, until time shall have been given tor examination and discussion. (Speech of Mr. JPr ice, of Iowa. Mr. PRICE (Iowa) prefaced his remarks by Baying that he was not a Consiilutioual lawyer, like so many o! the gentlemen In the House, hut gave what he un derstood to be the meaning of the proposed amend ment. It wus simply this: That Ira citizen of Penn sylvania or Iowa should visit Georgia or South Caro lina, be should have the same protection there which tie would have had bad he lived there all his life. For the last thirty years that was not the case. Northern citizens going to the Southern states did so at the risk of a coat of larand leathers aud being ridden on a rail. He was Informed that recently a party of eight men went from I llinols to Mississippi to work in a machine shop, and that six of them came back, the other two having been murdered between the shop and their boarding-house. Mr, WRIGHT raised the queMInn of order, that the House was not trying murder cases. The Speaker overruled the question. Mr. Pit H JO believed that, though he was not n con stitutional lawyer, ha knew bow much two and two make, and that lie had always given the proper an swer lo the question. He was discussing Die real question before the House, and ticking closer to it than any one who had preceded him, Hebelieved that Congress liow bud the power nought to be couferred by Ibis amendment. T'nilerthe clause of the Constitu tion, wlili b dccinres that Conn res snail have the power to provide lor the general welfare. Mr. Ikh, VMS (N. J.)-Wlll the gentleman inform us where he finds that clause? Mr. PRICK Certainly, sir. It has ben apart of the Joys of mv Hie to Impart Information to the Ignorant, i Laughter.) It is la the eighth section of tbe lirst ar ticle, (reading It) Mr. in igkr-h Doeti the gentleman read from the trxtot the Conslllnt'on? Mr. PKICK See tbe difference between being a common-sens mau aud a constitutional lawyer, (Hoars of laughter.) Mr. KOGFRS (hnvlng referred to the Constitution) It Is here. You are right. I supposed it was ouly la tbe pieamble. (Laughter.) Mr. l'RICF: These gentlemen have talked about the Constitution Of our fathers., the Constitution as It was. and when you bring them down to the real old bible, the 'Consiltutlon or our fathers," about which they prate so much, they are as Ignorant of It as they were before they were born. (Laughter.) Mr. CHAN LFR (N. Y.) I iinderstand;thegentleman to base his argument on tbe eighth section of tbe Con stitution. Mr. PRICK I based no argument on It at all. I based my argument on the resolution lieloretlie House, nnil then 1 referred lo wuat was only In the Constitu tion. Mr. CIT ANI.KIt I asked the gentleman, and Mr. Price declined to yield the floor. Mr. (11 ANLKIl, while the Speaker was cnlllng him to order, and knocking loudly with his gavel, tried to make himself beard, saying that the gentleman (Mr, Price) entirely misconstrued the section, which was a mere power to lay direct taxes and raise arnia The Speaker directed Mr. ('hauler lo take his seat Mr. CHANLLll 1 will, but the gentleman Is mis taken. The Speaker It Is In defiance of the House and the Chnlr for a gentleman to continue speaking when called to order hv the Chair. Mr. CHANLFJl-I beg tbe Chair's pardon. Mr. Pltll K i had not the least idea in the world of raising such a hub-bub In the House, but I am perfect ly willing to Impart information to questions Irom as many of lire Democratic party as possible, but It is a hunter Job than 1 like to undertake nt this late hour of the tiay. (Laughter.) He declared himself. In con clusion, in favor of the resolution, aud he hoped the House would adopt It. Mr. DAVIS (N.Y.) obtained tbe floor, and the mat ter went over till (o-morrow, when It is understood Mr. Bingham will call for the previous question, alter Mr. Dnvis speech, and bring Hie Huuse lo a vote on tbe passage of the Joint resolution. CITY I NTELLI GE N(JE For Additional Local Items set Third Fage.) m feting of tub corn exchange as sociation Advocacy of Ukoid IStbekt Rail xoavb. A meeting of tho Corn Exchange Asso cintion was held this morning at hall-past 11 'clock, C'hailes 11. Cuoiminirs In the Chair. Thomas Allman, Esq., oilered the following f cries of resolutions, which were seconded and ably advocated by George L. Buzby, Esq. : If hertat, The approval of City Councils is now folicited lor a project which designs the removal of the railroad lrelgnt tiacks Irom Broad street, and M fit reat. It la designed to use such approval, if obtained, ss a ineani ol influencing the Legislature oi the btiite to compel tho city to remove said tracks, pud Whereat, This esn only be done by a violent dis location of existing buslncs relations, intlioiing iu jttiy, not only upon many individuals, but upon the peueral trade ol the city, because of tbe eonscquoat imposition of expensive charges upon the movement ot merchandise, which charges aie now avoided by tlie facilities furnished by raid railroad tracks, and Whertaa, In theio da s of sharp competition with our sister cities, this community cannot alloid, for the grat.flcilion oi luxurious tastes, to dnvo trade into a corner, and embanasi it by hostile legislation, therefore Jtaotved, Tbat In the opinion of this body there never was a timo when the miorcsts of trade de manded, more Imseratirely than now, that nothlog should Lo done tondiug to disqualiiv it In any depart ment, in any way, or aurvhore, from successfully bcariuv tho burdens whioh the necessities of the Government have itni osed upon it lietolved. That tho Com Exohanare Association eaincstly hopes that our City t.auaci'8 will utter y withhold their approval trom a measure whose whole purpose seems to be to loroe trade out ot Broad street, and convert' that avenue into a fancy drive and promenade tor men of leisure. Resolved, Tuat a conv ol the forepoimr mearable and resolutions be sent to each Chamber of Councils The GrtEAT Fibk Additional Pabti Culars, We append the following additional pellicular of the ereat fira in Third fetreet, above Race, on Monday evening.
