Mr. Hi' mm ku (Mass.) from the Committee on
Foreign Relations, reported tho following reso
lution which was considered and agreed to,
H hrreas The trnlllo ill laborers transported
from China and other Knsteru couti tries, known
s the Coolie trade, is odious to the people of the
L'nited Stated, ns inhuman and immoral;
And uhenas, Jt is abhorrent to the spirit of
modern international law and policy, which
have Kifiistantlally extirpated the African
lnve trade, to permit the establishment In
its place ol a mode of enslaving men, dif
fering from the former in little elso than in
the employment ol fraud instead of force, to
make its victims captive; he it therefore,
Jitsulvtd, That it is the duty of this ciovern
inent to give effect to tho moral sentiment of
the nation, through all its agencies, for the pur
pose of preventing the further introduction of
Coolies into this hemisphere or the adjacent
islands.
Mr. Connkss (Cal.) offered tho following Joint

Mr. Grimes (Iowa) introduced a bill to amend

Tides that the Vice President shall be the rank
ing officer of the navy, shall be considered re-
rivaled by the act approved July Uti, lSOli, estab

(taction 8 gives to the commandant of the
Marine Corps the rank and pay of a brigadier
general of the army.
The bill was referred to the Committee ou
Naval Allaire.
Mr. Howard (Mich.) moved that the Senate
take up tho resolution, otl'ored by him yester
day, instructing the Committee on Foreign Af
fairs to make certain inquiries and report upon
Mexican allairs.
Mr. Williams (Oregon) hoped the Senate
would proceed witli the regular order, which
was the bill to regulate the tenure of office.
Mr. Sumner (Mass.) said he had no objection
to the passage of Mr. 1 toward s resolution, pro
vided that it was amended so as to leave it to
the discretion of the committee to report, if in
their judgment expedient. He believed the in
quiry altogether unnecessajy, as there was
eveiy evidence that t ha F rench troops were
now leaving Mexico. There could be no doubt
of this. He had ollicial and unofficial confirma
tion of the fact.
Mr. Howard (Mich.) did not believe all these
rumors about the departure of French troops.
At any rate it was a subject upon which he
would like to have u report from theCommittee
on Foreign Allairs.
The question being taken ou Mr. Howard's
motion, it was disagreed to.
Mr, Fehnkndun (Me.) said It was originally
bis intention to call up the Tariff bill to-morrow,
but he had conoluded not to do so. He
would now give notice, however, that he should
call It tip on Monday, aud expect to keep it
before the Senate until it was disposed of.
The bill to regulate the tenure of office was
taken np, the question being upon the amend
ment ot Mr. Sumner us an additional section,
"that all officers and agents of the Government,
except department clerks, whose salaries exceed
tioou per annum, shall be appointed by the Presi
dent, by aud with the advice and cousent ot the
iSeuate," instead of us many of such otlicers us
are now appointed by the heads of departments
alone.
Mr. Howe (Wis.) took t lie floor in advocacy
of the amendment, and the proposition w;,s
further discussed by Messrs. Fesseuden, F.d
inuuds, and others.
in the courso of some romarks, Air. Cowav
(Pa.) said the whole number of offices in the
gift of the President was two thousand four
1m mired aud thirty-four, The whole number
of removals made during the year was four hun
dred and forty-six.
Mr. si'mnkh (Mass.) asked Mr. Cowan if he
could iulorm tho Senate the number of offices
in the gift of the Secretary of the Treasury?
Mr. Cowan (Pa.) said he thought he could.
He would come to thut presently; all the remo
vals lie knew to have been made by the Presi
dent were of men wno had no respect not only
lor the Chief Magistrate, but for the country,
and he might say for themselves. There was a
great deal of Improper and disrespectful lan
guage used towurd the President In the lust
campaign. No man was removed who bud re
frained from indulgence lu tins language. Jlo
presumed no Senutor would advocate tho re
tention of men who used disretpecllul language
toward tUe President. There were 310 appoint
ments In the State Department; of these there
were 10 removals. In the Treasury Depart
ment, out of l7o appointments, there hud been
Jiff cnauges. In the Interior Department, t -re.
were i!l( appointments und 21 changes. In tiio
l'ost Office Department, 701) uppolntmeuts and
J7 chuuges. In the Attoruey-tjienorul's office,
V02 appointments and 19 changes. As to the al
legation of Mr. Sherman, a lew days ago, that
scarcely any of the recent appointments of the
president had been sent to the Senate, yet ho
(Mr. cowan) would say that out of tho 4 IB ap
pointments and removals made by the Presi.
dent, ;if7 had been sent to the Senate, and tho
(Senate hud acted on five of them.
llr. BiiKKMAN (Ohio) said if what Mr. Cowan
lmd suid was correct, be must have been treated
sxcepUouaWy by tho l'jsidnt, foi iu thut state
he could not think of a fdnclo permanent officer
of the Ufivcriimciit ho bad not been removed
for political purpose. Circulars hud been ont
round to thrm ordering them to attend the
Philadelphia (Johnson) I'onvontlon. In many
enses r moviils and appointwrients were made
npon the recommendation of Dcmocraliccuiidi
tin tcs tor Congress. Men had been removed for
refusing to eonti Unite money to carry on the
Democratic cnnvnsN. Ho knew of one man who
bad been appointed to an important post office
who wns the editor of u Democratic paper, and
who had been arrested and imprisoned during
the war for disloyally. Throughout tho entire
Citato of Ohio Federal officers were compelled to
support the opposition to the Republican party,
or they were removed. He did not know how
it was In other States, but if the proportion of
removals clsewhore was us great as It bad been
there, the aggregaie must be greater than Mr.
Cowan hnd stated.
Mr. II fmieh.son referred to the recent! v pub
lished letter of tho Secretary of the Navy, lu
relation to the Norfolk Navv Yard, and tho
appointments to that place, anil advocated the
amendment of Mr. Sumner.
After further debate tho Senate, at P45 ad
journed. House of Representatives.
Mr. M AYNAitn, (Tenn.), from the Committee
for the District of Columbia, reported a bill to
amend the laws of the District o Columbia in
reference to appeals, remedies of landlords, cYe,.,
which was amended and passed.
Also, the Senate bill to Incorporate tho Wash
ington County lloiso Ilailroud Company, in the
J ilstrlet of Columbia.
The morning hour having expired, tho bill
went over.
Mr. Julian (Ind.), on leave, Introduced a bill
to extend the provisions of the act of August
4lb. 1Mj2, granting the right of way lo all rail
and plank roads for rive years. Referred to the
Committee on Public Lands.
The House tlitn took up the bill Introduced
by Mr. Slovens for the reconstruction or tho
lately Rebel States.
llr. lii.NuiiAM (Ohio) being entitled to tho
floor, yielded to Mr. Paik ( is.), who declared
that he could not vole lor the second section of
the bill recognizing the present State Govern
ments for municipal purposes, and if that section
was not stricken out he would voto against the
bill. He denounced them as piratical govern
ments, which have, up to this time rested on the
souls of Andrew Johnson and bis Northern and
Southern satellites, but would henceforth rest
on the soul of the rash young gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens). Why was that
gentleman so anxious to share the responsi
bility and guilt ol Andrew Johnson ? The dla
boilical outrages perpetrated under these pi
ratical governments were daily ventilated in
this ball, and yet there was an oiler to recog
nize them. If this had been proposed eighteen
mouths ago there might have been some ex
cuso for it; but now there was none. That gen
tleman had intimated something about Presi
dential expectations bv Mr. Spalding, but it
would really seem that the gentleman (Mr. Ste
vens) himself had some longings for Presiden
tial bread nnd butter. (Laughter.)
Mr. lliNoiiAM (Ohio) called the attention of
the House to the departure by the proposed
Measures from what lias hitherto been done and
sanctioned by the Committee on Reconstruc
tion, by Congress and by tho peopie. He would
not limit the power of the people to establish
guarantees and safeguards. It was because he
recognized that right that be opposed the mea
sures proposed by the gentleman fromPennsyl
nia (Mr. Stevens) and ills own colleague. (Mr.
Ashley;.
The committee on Reconstruction, represent
ing the judgment of the loyal people, came to
the conclusion thut there was no safety for the I
future of tho Government except by such an
amendment of the Constitution ns made all
men born in the country citizens of the Repub
lic; as deprived Stales of tho right to deny per
sons within its jurisdiction the equal protection
oi the laws; as placed representation upon popu
lations; as disfranchised Rebels; us made tho
national debt inviolable, and as authorized
Congress to enforco those provisions. He be
lieved that the safely of tho people depended
upon the incorporation into the Constitution of
thutgreat amendment. He stood upon the pro
position that Congress, by its vote, did give out
that amendment as the basis of restoration, and
the people of tho United States so accepted it.
Many members owed their re-election to the
fact that State Republican Conventions ac
cepted the amendment as such basis oi restora
tion. That, however, did not restrict Congress
from further legislation in regard to these
States, not inconsistent with the Constitution,
but this bill neither stood with the Constitu
tional Amendment nor with the duty of Con
gress to give due protection to citizens of the
l'nited States within the disorganized States.
This bill gave no such protection to anybody,
loyal or disloyal, and, therefore, he opposed it;
and lie opposed it also because it was at vari
ance with the Constitutional Amendment.
Let the future safety of the Republic rest upon
irrepealable guaranties imbedded in the Consti
tution, and hot upon repealable legislation in
the insurgent States. The American national
ity as a political organization never existed an
hour.except through the governments of regu
larly organized States, organized constitutional
State governments. There couldl be no Repre
sentative branch of legislation save through or
ganized Stall s, and there could be no Senatorial
branch of legislation save through organized
States. He repeated there was no American
nationality save through the States.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ste
vens) had slated the other day that it was ab
surd to suppose that one of the lately Rebel
Slates could tuko any action ratif ying tho Con
stitutional Amendment, but the Committee on
Reconstruction had thought otherwise, for it
provided lor the ratification of it by those States.
Half oi the States of the Union to-day had ex
eicised the functions of Slate governments be
fore they actually became Slates, and the ratifi
cation of those acts by Congress made them
legal from the beginning. So he would have
the lately Rebel btotes go on aud perform acts
lor the ratification of the Constitutional Amend
ment, even though they were not regularly or
ganized ftiaies. and tne rnunciuum ot their acts
subsequently by Congress would legalize the
act.
As to the Supreme Court, its powers were very
limited. Its appellate powers depended upon
the will of Congress. If gentlemen were there
fore apprehensive of the improper exercise of
those powers, there was a very easy remedy.
Congress could ituke awuy the apnellute power
of the Court, und let it sit simply'to hear cuses
arising out of treaties, Ac.
The gentlemun from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ste
vens) bus frequently expressed the idea thut
the Rebel States were not states of the Ameri
can Union, but were alien enemies, subject to
all the penalties of Congress, and had often
quoted the prize cases to sustain that view, but
he (Mr. Ringhaiu) denied that the decision in
the prize eases covered any buch ground. This
bill wns very olleusivo to him. It attempted
to restrict the right of petition. The Father
of all extended that right to all bis people, and
the Constitution of tho Uuited Stales declared
that Congress should pass no law restricting the
right of petition; but this bill proposed to do so.
It looks us if drawn by a crowned despot. It
declared that all peisouswho were In the Re
bellion, and bad once taken an oath to support
the Constitution of the United States, no longer
citizens of the United States, and could not
become so except through the forms of natu
ralization. He submitted to the House and
country that the Congress of iho United states
hnd no colorable authority for decluriug, first,
that u million of the people of this country
weie no longer citizens, and second, thut they
could take no step lor organizing Slate govern
ments uutil Congress pussed an enabling uot
permitt ing them lo do so.
1 u answer to a question what remedy he, him
self, proposed, he suid he wished the measure
to be K h rred to the Joint Committee on Recon
struction. The sixth section of the bill dis
franchised a million of men, which was a depar
ture from the Constitutional Amendment, which
imposed no disability except the disability to
hold office. This bill not only decitlzenizud a
million of people, but it disfranchised them
also.
Mr. M.WNAnn (Tenn.) Inquired whether the
Rebels hi d uot denuded themselves of fizen
nip, und whether the question now vns not
one of ulsfruucliisement, but one of enfran
chisement? Mr. Ringiiam (Ohio) admitted that when clti
.ens engi ged in armed rebellion ugainst t lie
(jovr rnmnit they were subject to the exclusive
Jurisdiction of the Congress of the United States,
and Congress had already legislated on the sub
ject, and declared to what disabilities those pi r
sons should be subjected. These disabilities
were deprivation ol liio right to hold, office, Stute
or Federal.
Mr. Uingham's hour here closed, but he was
perrrllted to proceed for a quarter of un hour
longer, and he recapitulated hisobjectlons to tha
bill. Although the people of the South hnd
been traitors, be still recognized tho right,
which this bill would annul, of meeting und
petltidning Congress for a redress of grievances.
He denounced the provisions of the fourth sec
tion as a nicbt monstrous, atrocity, decluriug.
in It did, that no person should ho deprivudof
ii.'s right to vote because of conviction und sen
tence of any erlmw other than the crime of
tienson, insurrection or misprision of treason.
It was declaring. In c fleet, that thieves, rob
bers. irmrdereisBiid midnight assassins should
never bo deprived of the elective franchise on
account of their being convicted of such crimes.
While be wns willing to assert all tho rightful
powers ol this Government, he would never
consent to incorporate, by law, In the statutes
of the nation, a provision that would deprive
the people of the right of altering or amending
their legislation, a provision which this bill
contained. ( digress bad not even the color or
a right to pans such a law. He wns not going,
under pretense of protecting the colored people
ol the South, to declare that the people of any
Mate were not to have the right to alter and
amend their Taws at pleasure. I bis provision
not only attempted to fotler the Stntes In this
way, but It also attempted lo fetter future Con
Ei esses lu the same way. He declared that this
bill, iuatend of lielnn- a. i.m ...,iri,tu
wnsa bill of destruction; Instead of its being a
bill of restoration, it was a bill of disunion and
perpetual dismemberment.
Referring to Mr. Ashley's bill, he showed how
absurd It wns to deny that the Rebel States were
Males, fortheF.xecutlve, the Judiciary and even
lonpresshnd recognized them. Congress had
made appropriations forjudges of the United
States Courts In the Stales of Florida, Alabama,
and other districts. The bill of hlsoollengue was
nothing but a bill of anarchy, for It swept away
all the laws now existing (here; and a peoplo
without law were ns miserable ns a peoplo with
out a God. He looked upon both bills as depart
ures from the Constitutional Amendment. It
might be but Justice to punish tha Rebels se
verely, but there was something greater lu mag
nanimity and mercy than In even-handed lus
llce. lie knew that those Rebels had ridged' the
land all over with graves; lie knew that four
hundred thousand citizens had fallen martyrs
to their faith, to the country and the Constitu
tion, and It wns In view of their great transgres
sion that the proposod act of universal forgive
ness rose into the sublime, and challenged a pa
rallel in history since man began to be on earth.
He protested against this bill as being foreign to
the spirit and contrary to the purposes of tho
Constitutional Amendment.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) inquired of Mr. Bingham
how many of the Rebel States had accepted the
Constitutional Amendment.
Mr. HiNiiiMM (Ohio) admitted that all tho
Rebel states which had considered it In their
Legislatures with the exception, perhaps, of
Arkansas, had rejected It, but it did not follow
that they would not yet accept it, and if three
fourths of the organized States adopted lt.it
would bind the rest and give them tho benefit
of it, while in the meantime Jt would bind Con
gress. For these reasons, he asked that the
bill bo referred to the Committee on Recon
struction. Dir. Dawson (ra.) followed in an argument to
prove that in the Presidential policy was the
true solution of the national difficulties. He
showed how the Rebels, having laid down (heir
arms and abandoned the objects for which tltey
had been taken up, had since been submissive
to the laws, and conducted themselves as good
citizens; and that on tho other hand, the course
nursued by Congress had been bused on tho as
sumption that the reconstruction of the Go
vernment eS to those States was what it was
called upon to achieve. Congress Iiad assumed
tiiat the old Government, the Constitution of
lTh'J, had been as to the States, destroyed. If so,
wherein, aud how? Not, certainly, by the de
cisive success of the Union armies. Not by tho
surrender of the Rebel arm les, their Implied
abandonment of the issues lor which they had
resorted to force, and their prompt return to
obedience to the paramount law. The Govern
ment, therefore, had not been broken up, and
no reconstruction was necessary.
He argued that there was no warrant in the
Constitution lor imposing the amendment as a
condition ou readmitting the late Rebel States
to retiresentatlon in Congress. He imputed to
New England a selfish purpose in wlsning to
exclude from Congress the representatives of
the great agricultural Interests ol the West, her
protective policy might be endangered, and her
manufacturing interests injured. In regard to
the punishment of the people of the South, he
submitted that the failure of the Rebels was a,
sufficient penalty on them, aud he urgued as a
Matter of law that no person can be legally
punished for reudeiiug obedience to thecfeacto
government, illustrating that argument by
reference to English history in the time of the
Commonwealth of the accession of Charles II.
lu contrast with the course of Congress, he eulo
gized the patriotic, intelligent and humane
policy of the President.
The siorm of partisan fury would rage against
Dim in vain. He might break under it, he
would not bend. Whatever obstiele might op
pose him ho would, he trusted, stein the torrent
und gain the shore in safety. The hlBloriau
would record that chielly owiug to tho eilbrts of
Mr. Johnson lu Congress, the great Homestead
law was now on the stalulo book. He con
tended that it was impossible to act on the
piiuciples embraced by tuo majority in Con
gress without establishing a consolidated,
centralized form of government.
The Speaker's hammer fell ou termination of
the hour, and before Mr. Dawson had concluded
his speech.
Mr. SrAi.DiNfi (Ohio) moved an extension of
time, but Mr. Stevens objected, saying that he
had given notice when Mr. liinghum's time was
extended thut that was the last extension of
time be would consent to.
Mr. Dawson (Pa.) said he then gave notice
that there should not bo another extension of
time so long as he was a member.
Mr. IIaukkk (l'a.) obtained the floor, but
yielded to Mr. Stevens, on whoso motion the
House went into Committee of tho Whole on
tho State of the Union, Mr. Lawrence (Pa.) in
the Chair, und resumed the consideration of the
Legislative Appropriation bill.
Mr. Dawsojn obtained the floor, aud then
went on with the concluding portions of his
speech, creating considerable amusement bv
the ingenious manner in which Mr. Stevens'
objection bad been got around.
Mr. Hill rose and asked whether the gentle
man from Pennsylvania (Mr. Dawson), who
had so highly eulogized the President for his
cotmc prior to his succeeding to the Presi
dency, had voted for him when he was a candi
date for the Vice Presidency?
Mr. Dawson replied that he did not; that Mr.
Johnson was not the candidate of his (Mr. Daw
son's) party.
Mr. WAhimriiNE (111.) interposed a question
of order, that both gentlemen were out of order.
i'lie Chairman sustuined the point of order,
adding that Mr. Dawson had been allowed to
proceed by common consent.
Mr. Stkvkns (Pa.) "No, sir, not by common
cousent."
On motion of Mr. Washbuknk (111.) the ap
propriation for steuinboul inspectors aud super
intendents wus increased to SlO.OiH), for the more
thorough JnvesUgnlion of the cuuses of recent
disasters. He relerred to the loss of the Evening
Mur,of the steamboat Fashion on tho lower
Mississippi, and of the Commodore on Long
Island hound, and said that the last case
was one of the most flagrant character. She
wus tin old rotten, condemned, unseaworthy

owners, In utter delluuce of law, hud kept her
on the line, exposing the lives of hundreds of
passengers eveiy nislit. It was a miraclo that
when she was wrecked every person on board
had not been lost. He desired that the Trea

the most thorough investigation, and he trusted
that a criminal prosecution would be instituted
