TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 18C6. ONGIlESSION4t PROCEED IN OS. Tbe foilowlne are tlie Cr.f;refonftl Trocccd- tr.s continued from our Fourth Edition of j:- toTdaj i Ssnnte. Mr. 'Williams then resumed ths consideration f the subject of uirrait to the negro, contending that the ballot was necesnary to them to enable bm to protect themselves. All the argument against U were mere prejudice. Why was H that so long as a nero was a slave there was no objec uon to his sitting In a railroad coaoh or riding la a steamboat, but whu he became free he was not to be allowed any eoch pri vl lege? H wool d base his ams soieiy-on the rigut of protection whith erery man ha white or1 ' , It had been said here that the Inhabitants of this li(trict were the denaantiof prond and hanKhty families For that reason he wanted this bill passed, so that all the descendants of these haughty famines might hare the right to vote. If it was said that-the negroes were not intelligent, he would reply that they were intelligent enoogh to distin nlsn right from wrong in the late rebellion, and to Know the friends from the enemies of the go vernment. Sir. COWAN said be had not intended to again take the floor on this subject, bat it had been said that he was not in earnest in offering this amend. menL This was not correct. He bad been op nosed to any change in the suffrage; but If It was to be changed, if negroes were to oe enfranchised, be was in favor of still further change, so as to embrace women, also. If white men could not be intrusted with political power for the negro, they could not be intrusted with it for the women. He who thought women were represented by tnelr husbands might go to the proceedings of the Women's Rights Convention, recently held, to learn differently. It was time to look facts in the face. He was willing to stand upon old constitu tions, sanctified as they were by the past, but when the time came to make a step, it should be made in tK right direction. He was surprised that his sin verity should be doubted. Radicals were not like the poet, they were made and not born, and when the time came he would be as radical as any of them. He did not intend to let the juggernaut of pro gress run over him. He had as many reasons as Mr. Anthony, and one more, for being In favor of this bill; for he had a wife, whereas Mr. Anthony was a widower. He hoped, therefore, that iVIr. Anthony would make an abject apology to him for having expressed a doubt of his sincerity. (Laugh ter.) Thle new personage, who appears on the po litical stage to oppose the Jupeterlan system of legislation, complains that you have been a tyrant to her. He (Mr. Cowan) proceeded to read from the pro ceedings of theltth annual meeting of the Penn sylvania Anti-slavery Society, and the speech of Mrs. Francis 1). Gage during the session of that body. He would appeal to his friend from Mas sachusetts (Mr, Wilson) to express his opinion on this subject, and he felt assured that he would be Arm on the side of humanity on this question. He could almost see irom where he stood the bosom of his friend from Massachusetts heave in sympathy with this new issue, (laughter): and now that they had two negroes in tne Massachusetts Legislature, be conld not doubt that Mr. 'Wilson would come fully to his (Mr. Cowan's) position. He hoped also that his other friend from Massachusetts ( Mr. Sumner) would vote right in this proposition, now that a change had come over his domestic rela tions. (Laughter.) He would not have alluded to this delicate sub ject, but he found some remarks from Mrs. Oage in relation to Mr. Sumner's great speech of last winter to which he was compelled to assent. Mrs. Oage bad discovered that Mr. Sumner protested against taxation and male representation, and not a word was said by that geutleman against the tyranny of taxing women without giving them the right of representation. He would say to gen tlemen that Mrs. Elizabetih Cody Stanton, Airs. Francis I). Oage and Mrs. Susan B. Anthony were at their heels with their banners Hying, and they were after them persistently and sharply. Toward the conclusion of bis speech Mr. Cowan read a letter from Mr. Wade to Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, written last summer, in favor of female suffrage. If his amendment were adopted he ( Mr. Cowan) would vote for the bill. He would not be afraid of negro suffrage if female suffrage went with it. He would not be the first to propose any change on the matter of . suffrage, but if any change was to be made, it ought to be a radical and fundamental one of this kiud. He was in good earnest in offering this amendment. He was not so blind as not to see the signs of the coining tunes. Mr. MORRILL, of Maine, said he could not be lieve that Mr. Cowan had been arguing to con vince the Senate in favor of his proposition. While the majority in the Senate Intended to be radical, they intended to be rational also, and all the efforts of their enemies to make them ridicu lous would be unsuccessful. He would not con sent to see Mr. Cowan pretend to Indorse radical ism for the purpose of breaking it down. It was the old device to make a measure odious in order to defeat it. Mr. Cowan did not believe In the principle he urged. He was simply trying to make mischief, but he would not succeed. Mr. Morrill, in conclusion, replied to the legal arguments of Mr. Cowan, that the proposition to disfranchise those who had participated in the re bellion of the right of franchise was on the nature of an ex pott facto law, and therefore unconstitu tional. He contended that no punishment was in tended or infllCed. It was simply a proposition looking to the future, and taking away a trust from those who had shown themselves unworthy of it. Mr. COWAN resumed the floor in reply to Mr. Morrill, maintaining that to deprive a man of the right of suffrage was a punishment, and as now proposed, was in the nature of an ex pott facto law. Mr. WADE, of Ohio, said he had not intended to take part in this discussion, because the first day of the last session of Congress he introduced the original bill, to which the committee had mnde several amendments, which he supposed sulli clemtly demonstrated to all what his views on this subjeotwere. His views were not of any sudden growth. He had always been of the opinion that the right to vote in a Republican government ought to be limited only by years of discretion. He had always believed that it would be safe when the laws of the country had remitted our people to their rights, when they had fixed Bimply an age of majority, and of competency to manage their own attuirs as the qualification for suffrage. He did not believe any such rule was unsafe. He imagined that the nnsalety was entirely on the other side, for just in proportion as you limit this franchise, you create in some degree an aristocracy or irresponsible go vernment, and gentlemen must be a little tinctured with the fear of Republican sentiment when they fear the extended right of suffrage. If he (Mr. Wade) believed, as some gentlemen did, that to participate in government required Intellects of the highest character, the greatest persploaolty of mind, the greatest discipline from education and experience; if only such persons should be permitted to participate in the govern ment, he should know that a republican form of government oould not live. It was because he believed that all that was essential in government Jot the welfare of the community was the plain, simple level of the weakest intellects, that be be lieved this government ought to stand and would stand for ever. Who is it that ought to be pro tected by this republican government! Certainly it is the weak and the ignorant, who have no other manner of defending their rights except through the ballot-box. The argument for aristocracies and monarchies had ever been that the people did not know enough to take care of any form of gov ernment. As to the pending amendment, he Intended to "rote for it. He might not have introduced it, because this might not be the best time and place to agitate the subject; but as to the right of women to vote he had no doubt whatever. He was fully con vinced on -that subject. It would puzzle any one to draw the line of demarcation between the fe male and the male in this respect, while both were alike subject to the same law. The time is ap. proachlng, said Mr. Wade, when every female in the country will be responsible for the just gov ernment of the country as much as the males. Their right to particpate in the government of the country will be just as well acknowledged as our own. Mr. YATES, of Illinois, said he did not share VrlQtSenators In the embarrassment In which these amendments seemed to involve them. He could see no argument why a woman should not vote that would not equally apply to prevent a man from voting; but another Issue had been made last summer; another queetien had been decided by the people, aud he was for adhering to that. He would join the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cowan) in making female suffrage an Issue in the next election, and if he desired it he was for universal suffrage, and when the time comes he would vote Ii.

Convention med have had a great effect upon Mr. Cowan? if Oowan had read the speeches of these women luring the past few years he would have a betmr Meord when he leaves the Senate. Before he (Mr , Wilson) came to the Senate he entertained the con uo that it would be better lor -the legislation of the country if, the women of the land had the J'hl qi ieJTrtge. U Mr. Cowan would UV wo- men's mffrsge as an independent measure, he vtor.ld rote fur It; but he was opposed to con necting the two. He was in favor of negro sufrnge. becso-e It was a necessity. We have won negro suffrage lor the District of Columbia. I go fui ther, and say, we have won it for all the Stmes of the Union. Before the 4th of March, H-tlJ before ttiis Administration shall close 1 ex pect the negroes la all the States will be clothed wlib the right of suffrage. I bave not adoubt that they will be In the ten Tebel States. Mr. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, asked Mr. Wil son why, 11 this subject had been decided by the last elections, the consideration of this bill wm discontinued during the last session, after a bill had passed the House t ' Mr. WILSON said the reason was that it was found there was not strength enough in the benate to pass It over the President's veto, and it was wen known the President would bave vetoed It. bines then the voice of the people had been expressed, and was now unequivocal. Mr. JOHNSON, of Maryland, said there were many reasons why the right of suffrage had never been generally extended to women. It had not onlv never been asked for by women, but he be lieved it would be rejeoted. There was another reason why they should not be allowed to vote. It they participated in elections they must be a part of the milina. Mr. Johnson read a portion of a letter from John Adams, in which the writer op pored female suffrage, and gives his reasons for his opposition. Those who favored the pending amendment contended that women should have the right of suffrage for their own protection. He (Mr. Johnson) always supposed that theduty of protection to ladies belonged to their husbands and brothers. Ladies bad never complained that tbey had not suflicient protection. Some snch com plaints bad been made by a few, bat they were snch ns were very properly denominated strong minded women. Ladies were not aaxlous to par ticipate in election broils and political excite menu Mr. COWAN asked if the presence of ladles at the polls would not tend to preserve orderl . Mr. JOHNSON said it would not. The kind of men who created such disturbances were not to be deterred from it by the presence of ladies. Aside from all delicacy, what right bad a woman to vote when the right was denied to a boy until he was 2), although he was put into the militia at 181 Mr. WADE resumed the floor In advocacy of the amendment. He spoke of the necessity of fe male suffrage to enable women to protect thorn selves bv the enactment of just laws. Mr. FREL1NGHUYSEN, alluding to a remark from Mr. Johnson, that women voted in New Jersey, said that in certain local elections they did at one time, but not at present. He would say fur ther, that the women of New Jersey did not want to vote. Niue hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand women of America, wanted no vote, but that they now exercised through their influents upon men. Their mission was higher and holier. He could se e no connection between the two cases of women and negroes. Pending the consideration of Mr. Cowan's amendment, on motion of Mr. DOOLITTLE, the Senate adjourced. House of Representatives. Mr LAWRENCE, of Ohio, from Judiciary Com mittee, reported a bill to repeal certain parts of the act of April 30, 1700, for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States. It repeals so much of the net as provides that no person shall be prosecuted, tried or punished tor treason, or other capital offence, except the indictment therefor shall beiound by a grand jury within three years next alter the treason or capital offence shall be commit ted. And it provides that persons guilty of trea son, or other capital offences, may at any time be indicted, tried and punished therefor. Mr. LAWRENCE, of Pennsylvania, explained and advocated the provisions of the bill. Mr. SHELLABARUEll, of Ohio, Inquired whether the bill would allow the trial of persons Whose trial was now barred by the act of 1700 1 Mr. LAWRENCE replied in the negative. Where the crime was already barred no act could revive the right to prosecute. Mr. SPALDING, of Ohio, Inquired whether the bill imposed any limitation whatever I Mr. LAWRENCE said it did not. Mr. SPALD1NO asked whether it would not be better to simply extend the time for prosecu tions. Mr. LAWRENCE thought not. There was no limitation In murder cases In Ohio: a State whose jurisprudence had been illustrated by his distin guished colleague. Mr. CONKL1NO, of New York, asked whether the whole purpose of the bill would not be accom plished by repealing the statute of limitation, and whether it was worth while to attempt to do in this bill what was known to be unconBtltuiional, namely, to revive an offence which Is in truth out lawed. If the offence was dead, any law that sought to revive It was an ex pott facto law. Mr. LAWRENCE, of Ohio, said that if this bill did not paBS, all the early treason ot Jefferson Davis and those who co-operated with him would be en tirely exempt from punishment. He was willing to go to the verge of the Constitution for the pur- fiose of punishing the early treason ot those who nnugurated the rebellion. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, said I have always looked upon bills that have evidently been prepared for the purpose ot ascertaining how we can convict men, whom we cannot convict under the law under which the crime was committed, with great distrust. I do not believe that it be comes this nation. I do not believe that it is sate lor us to undertake to pass laws by which we can punish men, however guilty, who could not be puniBhed under the laws under which the crime was committed. Can we now alter the, Constitution so as to change the place of trial ot traitors, and say that the venue may be changed and that they shall be tried by jurors summoned from another bailiwick I The Constitution and our laws pro vide very carefully that especially treason cases are to be tried in the place where the overt act is committed, or a district previously ascertained, by law and by a jury from that bailiwick. Any law that professes to change that in any of its features, looks to me so much like attempting a case of judicial murder that I have been always afraid to touch it. I am aware that if the traitors of the south were to be tried under our existing Constitution and law, not one of them could ever be convicted. I should never attempt to try them for treason. 1 should try them as belligerents under the laws of nations and under the laws of war. A member "That is what yon would do if you were the Administration." Mr. STEVENS I am speaking of what I would do when I get Into the Administration. (Laugh ter.) I know that any attempt to try them lor treason would be a failure, although I would not discourage the attempt. But I mention this to show that I am fully sensible that none of them nnder our present Constitution and laws can ever be convicted; and yet I would rather let every man ot them run unpunished forever than make a law by which they could be punished. I think our government would endanger lis future exist ence and its character for justice before the world. I think that the British government suffered more from the murder of Lord Russell, although It was the execution of the sentence of a court, than it would have suffered by the escape of forty trai tors. I think this government bad better be care ful bow it tampers either with the crime or the re medy, for it is better to forego a remedy for the crime which the world will view partly as a Wo de te, and partly as a political offence, than to at tempt now to pass laws lest malefactors may es. cape. This professes to be a bill to make indefinite the time of proseoution for one ot those offences which, of all others, should be quieted by lapse of time. Murder is a different thing. There are so many engaged, not only in treasou, but in rebellion, that there must be some quieting law. And thereought to be, in my judgment; for it does not follow that every traitor escapes who Is not prosecuted within three years from the time of the offence. The statute of limitations nowhere runs in any case, except it is possible to enforce the remedy. It only runs from the time when it Is possible to enforce it. For Instance, Benjamin is in Europu. So is Slidell. I do not suppose anybody would say that while Benjamin was absent beyond the seas the statute of limitation would run. It only runs from the time when he may be prosecuted and is not prosecuted. Whether that be so or not, during the continuance of the war the crime con tinued. It was a continuing offense, and that of fence continues np to the time when peace shall be proclaimed. It never has been proclaimed. I know that a gentleman up the avenue has put forth some pieces of paper which he thinks equnl to the proclamations of James or Charles; but they are ot no importance, and the question of peace or war is yet to be decided by Congress. I say there is no peace, (Sensutiob.) This nation is still in a belligerent condition, and the conquered bellige rents are within the power of the conqueror, to be dealt with as captives, and not as criminals. I can, therefore, In the first place, see no neces sity for the bill, but if there were a necessity for it, I should certainly objeot to any alteration of the law as it now exists with reference to treason, which would enable the government to convict, where It is confessed it could not convict under the law as it stood when the crime was commit, ted. I should be very glad to see condign punish, msnt inflicted on many of .these men although sot capital punishment. I read Boccacio when I was a boy, and have never forgotten the principles which be laid down. 1 iave never been for bloody, punishment. I do no consider that there was suiiicient atonement made by tbe execution 61 that magnitlren leader. o lU JtUmua,. riUatty Wirz, tbe Dutchman. with the bump-bark, who only obeyed the orders ot hie superior rlllcers, and wbo. If he were trd in ordinary times, and according to the law, would never have been convicted, because his government was answerable for him. The idea that tbe starvation of fifty or sixty thousand men Is to be atoned by tbe execution of one of the keepers of the prison, iastead of blng visited on bis government, Is absurd. Here tbe Speaker inteiropted, announcing that tbe morning hour had expired, and that tbe bill should go over till to-morrow. Mr. INQERSOLL, of Illinois, asked leave to in troduce a bill to regulate tbe tale ol coin and bul lion by ibe Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. WASHBURN E, of Illinois, called for Its reading. The bill was read. It directs the Secre tary of the Treasury, whenever the amount of gold and sliver In the Treasury exceeds fifty millions, and when the interest of the govern ment requires its sale, te give public notice for at least thirty days of bis desire to effect such sale, of the amount to be sold, and at what period, and to receive sealed proposals for ths purchase of any part thereof, at the Treasury in Washington, and to award the sale te the highest bidder or bidders, provided, that the Secre tary may reject all the bids; and also provided, that the amount In the Treasury shall not be reduced below fifty millions, and also provided, that tbe bid ders shall deposit two per cent, of the amount bid for. Mr. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, said that the tendency of such a bill would be to put tbe whole thing in the control of tbe gold gamblers in Wall street. Mr. INOERSOLL said that, on the contrary, it would take the mattvr out of the bands of the gold gamblers, and would stop gambling In gold. It would put it out of tbe power of the Secretary of tbe Treasury to wield a golden sceptre more pow erful than any monarch in the world a sceptre made of fft5,(U0,0U0 of gold so that he could de press and raise tbe markets at his pleasure. Mr. BRANLEG EE, of Connecticut, objected to the debate. Mr. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, objected to the reception of the bill. The SPEAKER stated that as It required unani mous consent to Introduce the bill, and as objec tion had been made, the bill was not before the House. 1 be SPEAKER presented a message from the President, transmitting reports from the Secretary of War and the Attorney General in reference to the case of O. E. Pickett, late Major General in tbe rebel army, in reply to the Hon Be resolution of the 3d Instant, and adding that the resolution of last session on the same subject was not dated 23d ot June, as set forth, but :)il of July, only tour days before the termination of the session. Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Also, a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting the report of the Register of the Treasury, showing the receipts and expen ditures for the year ending June 30, IKiiS. The same disposition was made of this docu ment. Mr. INOERSOLL, of Illinois, from the Com mittee on the District of Columbia, reported back the bill to amend the act incorporating the Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans' Home. Read three times and passed. Mr. DARLING, of New York, presented the petition of the Marine Underwriters of the ci:y of New York, for an appropriation to remove the wreck of the steamer Scotland, at Sandy Hook. Referred to the Committee on Appropriations. Mr. CON KLIN G, of New York, presented the petition of the Rev. Dr. Corey, and others, asking modification of the taxes paid by clergymen, teach ers, and certain others; and the petition of manu facturers of, and workers In Ivory, horn, bone, &c, asking a change of the tariff. Referred to the Com mittee of Ways and Means. Tbe bill reported from the Judiciary Committee December Sth, for the regulation of appointments to and removals from ollice, was taken up as the special order. An extended and miscellaneous discussion took place on the bill, which Wns considered as if in Committee of the Whole, and various amendments were proposed, discussed and acted upon. The House Anally amended the ilrst section so as to rend as follows: That no officer of the United States appointed on the nomination ot the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall be re movable except by Impeachment and conviction, or by the President, wltu tbe consent or tba Senate. Provided, however, that in case of disa bility or misconduct in office, occurring during the recess of tbe Senate, where the interests of the pub lic service may make it necessary to displace the in cumbent, until the advice and consent of that body can be duly had and obtained thereon, it shall be lawful lor the President, on the recommendation of the head of that department under whose jurisdic tion &uch officer may be, to suspend tbs dlaublvU or defaulting officer, aud to commission nno' her person to perform the duties of the place until the Senate shull act thereon; and it shall be the duty of the President, within twenty days after the next as sembling of that body, to report to it the fact of such suspension, along with tbe reasons therefor and the name of tbe person so temporarily commis sioned by him, or such other person as he may think proper to nominate for the place; and in case of the refusal of the Senate to concur in the re moval, either by a direct vote thereon, or by readvlsing and consenting to the appointment of the person so nominated, tbe officer who has been thus suspended shall thereupon re sume the exercise of his official functions as though the same had not been interrupted; but in no case shall tbe person so restored be entitled to any salary or compensation for the interval of time during which bis functions muy have been suspended as aforesaid; but the salary and emolu ments of such office shall, during such suspension, belor. g to the person so temporarily commissioned and performing the duties of such ollice; provided, that the President, in case he shall become satisfied that such suspend in was made on insufficient grounds, shall be authorized, at any time before reporting such suspension to tbe Senate, as above provided, to revoke such suspension, and reinstate such officer in the performance of the duties of his office; provided further, that this section shall not apply to tbe heads of the several executive depart ments. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, offered the following as an amendment: Sect. 3- And be it further enacted, thatevery per son who has been or shall hereafter be nominated to the Senate for office, and who shall fall to receive the advice and consent of the Senate thereto, shall be incapable of holding any executive office under the United States for the term of one year after such rejection, unless two-thirds of the Senate shall relieve him of such disability. The prede cessor of any nominee rejected by the Senate shall still continue to bold his said office. Mr. Stevens spoke in support of bis amendment. He said that during the last six months a class of the meanest men whom Ood ever overlooked In making men bad been appointed to office, and were now awaiting rejection or confirmation by the Senate. He had no doubt that a great many of them would be rejected, but if the President were allowed to appoint them to any other office he would reward them all. The President understood taking care of just such men. They were his na tional wards. He would punish them for their mean ness In crawling through such slime. The very fact of their acceptance of office was evidence that they were too mean to h ld It, and too dishonest to be trusted with it, and that for at least one year they should hold no office. Mr. HALE, of New York, opposed the amend ment. Tbe distinguished gentleman from Penn sylvania bad been complimented by several of bis associates on having suddenly become a conser vative, and he (Mr. Hale) was delighted to witnsBS and welcome his accession to those ranks, but he regretted to see that, with the zeal common to a neophyte, he now went far beyond those who had been heretofore considered as in some manner sus taining the President. He (Mr. Stevens) proposed to put into the bands of the President such power as had never been In trusted to any man. Under the gentleman's amend ment the President might send his (Mr. Stevens') name to the Senate for an office, and on the Senate refusing to confirm him he would be incapable of holding any otber office for a year. Mr. STEVENS remarked that he would run the risk of being punished In that way. Mr. HALE went on to remark, in a vein of rail lery, that they all knew Mr. Stevens was com- Cetent for any position on the face of the earth, ut yet the Senate m ght not deem him exactly the person to be the colonel of a regiment, tbe captain of a ship, or ths commander-in-chief of the army, and might refuse to confirm bis appointment to any of such positions if tbe President should no minate him, and the result would be that the country would be deprived of his valuable ser Vices in the House. (Laughter.) In like manner, If tbe President should desire to get rid of General Orantor Gen. Sherman, he had only to nominate him for Chief Justice, and on being rejected by tbe Senate the General would be reudered incapable of holding his military position. Mr. STEVENS insisted on his amendment, and called for the yeas and nays. - Tbe yeas and nays were taken, and resulted yeas 18, nays 13-2. So the amendment was rejected, and the further consideration of the bill went over till to-morrow. Mr. STEVENS, from the Committee on Appro priations, reported a bill to supply deficiencies in tbe appropriations for tbe service of the govern ment for the year ending June 30, leiiT. Referred to the Committee of tbe W hole, and made a speciui order for Thursday- next. i' .Mc, 1 EVENS Introduced n jalnt resolution 1 krsntlng additional com ret sailon to certain civil employes In the Executive Departments in Wash ington.
