Tub Cotton and Woollen Man c factor ers.
The cotton and woollen manufacturers of the
city yesterday afternoon held an adjourned
meeting at the rooms of the Board of Trade.
Mr. William Devine was in the chair; Mr. George
Bullock, Secretary.
Mr. Samuel Cattell, chairman of the Com
mittee to prepare By-laws, submitted the fol
lowing articles of organization, which were
agreed to:
Whereas, The manufacturing of cotton and
woollen goods constitutes an important branch
of national industry, largely involving the labor
and capital of the country; and
Whereas, Its future growth and permanent
success require greater co-operation on the
part of those engaged in it than has heretofore
existed:
Therefore, we, the subscribers, for the pur
pose of promoting more effectually, by all ap
propriate means, the advancement and pros
perity of this interest, and for our own mutual
protection, agree to associate ourselves together
under the name of ' The Cotton and Woollen
Goods Manufacturers," and be governed by such
rules and by-laws as the association may from
time to time adopt.
The by-laws submitted providing for a presi
dent and two vice-presidents ot the association,
treasurer, corresponding secretary, standing
committees, etc. were adopted.
Until April matters will remain as they now
are. In that month the organization will be
perfected, and manufacturers who desire to
unite in the membership must come by regular
course of ballot.
At the close of the preliminary organization,
Mr. Garsed addressed the meeting and said:
We, the manufacturers, wished to be placed
properly before the country. It seems to bo
conceded that American manufacturers need
protection; then why neutralize the custom
duties by internal taxation? This is not the
course of England, our great competitor. She
uses all ber energies to procure cheap material,
by stocking'the plains ot Australia with sheep,
in order that her manufacturers may get cheap
wool; and again, by bridgine the rivers and tun
nelling the mountains of India, to get cheap
cotton, drugs, and dye stuffs, in order that no
country can get cheaper material than her
manufacturers. To accomplish this she has
i million of dollars. This tax is destroying
onr manufactures: we are paying the value of
our machinery ana mnis twice over owu cr,

manufacturers of Philadelphia, do hereby re

Capture op a Notkd "Chackhman." The
first airest under the new order to arrest all
cracksmen found abroad under suspicious cir
cumstances, occurred last evening, between 0
and V o'clock. W hilht Officer Warnlck, of the
Fourth Police District, was walking his beat, he
iioticcd a notorious burglar named George
Mat-on, and another man, supposed to be his
"pal," passing along Market 6treet, between
Second and Third. lie followed them down
Market street, until after they had crossed
Second street; there he came across Officer
Coryell. He told him that he was alter those
fellows, pointing towards Mason, who was going
towards the ferry.
Officer Warnick then quickened his step, and
soon came up to the men. When he had got
wtthin a few feet of them, Mat-on suddenly
wheeled around and drew a blackjack, striking
Warnick a powerful blow upon the head,
momentarily stuuning him. Officer Coryell
immediately started towards the other man,
who started and ran. In his flight, he threw a
package into the street. In the meantime
Officer Warnick had seizpd Mason and backed
him up against an awning post. The latter
made every effort to escape, aud plied the billy
upon the pprson of tne officer. The latter,
finding that he could not hold on to his prisoner
much longer, called for help.
Officer Gouldcy responded, and came to War
nick's assistance. MaFon tried his best to hit
Gonldey, but the latter, in order to matter him,
struck him two or three blown upon the head
with a club, making the blood flow pretty freely.
Finding that, there was no prospect of escaping,
Mason quietly succumbed, and accompanied
the officers to the Slution House. Ho was
searched, and upon his person several burgla
rious implements were found, consisting of
powder, fuse, screw-driver, gimlets, and
punches. His wounds were properly dressed,
and he was locked up to await a heuring.
Officer Coryell pursued M.i?on's accomplice
down Second street to Black Horse alley, where
Officer Taylor iomed in the chase. The fellow
drew a pistol and pointed it towards the police
men, who were fast gaining upon him. Unfor
tunately Officer Coryell slipped and fell upon the
Ice, and before Mr. Taylor could come up with,
the fugitive he managed to out-distance him,
and succeeded in making his escape.
The bundle thrown away by Mason's "pal" in
his flight was picked up and taken to the Station
House, where it was opened. It was lound to
contain a complete set of costly and finely-made
burglars' tools for forcing open tire-pToof safes,
consisting ol an ingeniously constructed boring
machine, bits made liom old hies, a large jimmy,
a variety of gimlets, screw-drivers, etc.
Mason has a hearing before Alderman Bcitler
at the Central Station, this afternoon.
Thb Reorganization of thb Fibbj Depart
M but. The Committee of Fire and TruBt of
Councils, last evening, met, by special appoint
ment, the delegates from the Board of Fire Di
rectors, to confer upon the proposed reorganiza
tion of the Fire Department. Jos. B. Hancock, of
Common Council, the Chairman of the Commit
tee, presided. The delegates presented a memorial
from their Board. This proposes to reorganize the
Department by appointing a board of five com
missioners, consisting of a chief commissioner
and assistants, chosen by the firemen. The Di
rectors desire a chief elected for a long term, and
ineligible for two successive terms, with seven as
sistants, four of whom must attend every fire.
The memortal also proposes a change In the
mode of sending companies to tires. In the judg
ment of experienced firemen, six steamers are suf
ficient at any Are. Now the directors propose to
divide the boxes, and allow only specified boxes
to be rung In case of fires, except for a general
alarm. Another provision recommended is the
appointment of a director for each company, to
have charge of the apparatus while absent from
the house. As a final clause, the firemen petition
for an increase of appropriation, to enable them to
pay their expenses without the present over-tried
resort to balls and excursions.
These recommendations were considered In de
tail. The specification ot boxes met general ap
proval In the committee. A sub-committee of
Messrs. Van Oleve, Shermer and Marcus, of Select
Council, and Smith and Barnes, of Common, was
annotated to frame au ordinance carrying the re
commendations into enact. The subject will be
agitated again before finally acted upon.
Hospital Cases. Thomas Mcl'astlanil, nine
teen years old, residing at No. 203'J Filbert
street, had an arm broken yesterday by being
caught between two freight cars on Market
street.
Robert Paul, residing in Federal street, above
Front, while digging yesterday in a sandbank,
at Second and Morris streets, had a thigh
broken by the falling of a portion of the bank
on bim.
Both of the above unfortunate persons were
removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
A man named James Dunn had his leg broken
last evening at an early hour, during a fight at
the corner of Emory and Salmon streets. He
was taken to the Episcopal Hospital,
Death op a Prominent Citizen. Mr.
Daniel Keim, formerly engaged In the hardware
business in Market street, and more recently
holding a position in the Custom House, died
yesterday at his residence, in Bristol, Pa. Mr.
Keim was about 60 years old. He was a gentle
man noted for amiability and intelligence, and
was much respected. .
CAMDEN AFFAIRS.
A Lark, and tub Resdlt. Last evening a
party of five men were perambulating the
streets, singing and cutting up. They stopped
at a lager beer saloon corner of Fourth and
r eaerai streets, kept by John rfemer, canea
for drinks, and sat down and commenced play
ing cards. They ordered a bottle of wine, but
relused to pay lor it. The proprietor ordered
them out, as ne wanted to shut up shop. They
refused. He then attempted to put them out,
whpn one of them threw a tumbler at him,
striking him just below the right temple. Pteif
ter immediately pulled out a revolver and fired,
tne Dan taxing eneci in tne ceiling.
By this time Officers Gaul and Johnson
arrived and nabbed one of them, named John
Clark the rest of the party ran. Officer Gilbert
stanea aner one aown riura street, ana after a
long chase raptured him. He gave the name of
Nicholas Brown. The others escaped, but as
they are known, will be captured to-day. Both
of the prisoners were taken to the Station
House and searched. In one of the pockets of
Brown a small glass tumbler was found, which
the proprietor of the saloon recognized as his
property. Both will have a hearing before
Mayor Budd to-day.
Misdemeanor. Anna Bonders was arrested
yesterday for disturbing the congregation of
Rov. Mr. Fletcher's uChurch, Broadway and
Kaighn's Point avenue. It seems Anna is one
of those vouug ladies who are so lull of mer
riment that the least little thing will cause them
to give vent to tneir pent-up loelings in violent
fits of laughter. Such was the case yesterday.
She commenced giggling, and giggled to such
an extent that the congregation were very much
annoyed, and it was thought necessary to call
in Officer Gilbert, and have the gicgler removed.
Anna was taken before Justice Toram, and
fined. The money being paid, she was released,
with the injnnction to hereafter conduct herself
according to the company she Is in.

COKUKKSSIONAI PKUCEBDINU8,
The following are the Congressional proceed
ings of yesterday, continued from our Fourth
edition :
Washington, February 12.
Senate.
The Bankrupt bill was then taken up, the vote
by which It was rejected having been reoonsldered,
and the question was, shall the bill passl
Mr. (SUMNER said he wished to oiler a couple
Of amendments.
Mr. WADE They have already been rejected.
Mr. SUMN EK So has the bill, for that matter.
The CHAIR The bill Is not amendable unless
the vote ordering it to a third reading ,ls recon
sidered. Mr. SUMNER stated that one of the amend
relents be wished adopted was that preventing re
bels from becoming voluntary bankrupts. He
deemed this of vital importance. The hour had
not come for any such amnesty. He protested
against any such concession.
Mr. DIXON Baid the report of the conduct of the
late rebels of the south, and tbelr treatment of
Unionists, were greatly exaggerated. He believed
they were stupendous Ipleehoods. He had no
doubt that in some parts of the south the negroes
Were badly treated, but he utterly denied that aach
treatment was general, or anything like it.
Mr. YATES replied to Mr. Dixon, alleging his
belief that Union men were persecuted In the
south. He had advices to this effect from loyal
Union men.
Mr. DIXON resumed the floor, repeating the
Views he had already expressed.
Mr. HOWARD believed, from sourcesof infor
mation entitled to credit, that there was nothing
like adequate protection to Unionists in the south,
and especially to black Unionists. He bad beard
from a gentleman from Texns that not less than
fifteen hundred Unionists, black and white, bad
been murdered by the rebels In that Stite within the
last year, and not one of the murderers had ben
brought to justice. lie held it to be the duty of the
government to see that protection was alTorded to
loyal men In the south.
Mr. SUMNER, In the courseof further remarks,
eaid he was constantly receiving letters from the
south, giving accounts of the persecution and
murder of Union men. He could not give th
names of the writers, becanse to do so would be
endangering their lives. If Senators would vote
down his amendment, well and good, he bad been
voted down before; he had been voted down when
he brought in the bill to repeal the Fugitive Slave
law.
Mr. CONNESS said he was tired of the whip of
the leader In this Senate; he was tired hearing Mr.
Sumner accuse the Senate of cowardice. He had
tried to do his duty here, and he was determined
no longer to submit to Mr. Sumner's lash. He
thought It unbecoming and Indecent in Mr. Sum
ner to accuse him and others of dereliction of duty.
Mr. WILSON referred to the testimony of Fede
ral generals on the subject of the treatment of
Unionists in the south, In proof that commonly
believed reports on the subject were not exag
gerated. Mr. LANE, of Indiana, stated his objections to
the Bankrupt bill, believing It to be In direct con
tradiction of the whole English system of bank
ruptcy. He objected to it because it was prospec
tive; because ot its voluntary provisions; because
it was not uniform in Its operations, and because
Its effect would be in favor of fraudulent debtors
and against honeBt men.
After further debate, the vote was called for and
taken on the passage of the bill, and the bill was
passed, as follows:

ments. Mr. POMEROT, from the Committee on Publio
Lands, reported a substitute for the House bill for
the organization ot land districts In the territories
of Arizona, Idaho, Utah and Montana, which sub
stitute creates the oltlce of Surveyor General in
the territory of Montana, and establishes a land
office In the territories of Montana and Arizona.

therewith, established for the government of steam

proved August 30, 1852. The bill also requires that
all vessels subject to such navigation laws shall,
when under way, except upon the high seas, be
nnder the control of licensed pilots; provided,
that nothing in tbls act shall connict witn any
State law requiring vessels entering ports in such
State to take a pilot duly licensed by such State.
Mr. MORRILL Introduced a bill to regulate the
disposition of an Irregular fund In the custody of
the Freed men's Bureau, which provides that the
Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau shall be
the lawful custodian of a certain retained bounty
fund, derived from a portion of the State bounties
of colored soldiers enlisted In the States of Vir

On motion of Mr.BTABK, of Hew Jersey, the Com

1l quire into the expediency of preventing bylaw the

Tbe House thon proceeded to the consideration of
the bill reported by Mr. btevens from the Committee
on Reconstruction, to establish military governments
in the south
Mr. KltLLKT, of Pennsylvania, addressed the
Honne lu advocacy of the bill, and expressed his hope
tbat it would be passed without ameudinent. It might
not meet tbe views of all the members of the ma-
irity;but no bill could be framed that would do so,
He regarded the bill as a mere poll, e bill. The neces
sity for it arose from tbe perfidy of tbe President of
tbe 1ml tod States. Bad be been true to the duties of
his blgh ( dice and bis own reiterated pledges, there
wonld have been no neooBBity for the law. 1c bat re
quired tbe General of the army to execute tbe dying
purpose of Abraham Lincoln and the early Presiden
tial promises of Andrew Johnson; that was, to admin
ister, nnder the military power of the government,
such laws as would give security to persons and lite
and property in territory the civil government of
wtiicn had been overthrown. . . . .
ltdidbntuhatSoottdid in Mexico, and what But
ler and Banks did ia Louisiana protect Ufa aud pro
perty ana ma. main peace, and await the action of that
government, and of that branch of the government
which hud the right to frame a code of laws. That
tbis bill did. It wiped out of existence the results of
executive usurpation, by overturning the govern
ments established by tbe exercise ot a greater power
on tbe part of the Oommauder in-Ohtef than any that
was proposed by this bill. .. ,
Beferrlng to Mr. Bank' definition of the condition
of the southern States, that it was nt ltber peace nor
war, bnt a state of siege, be expressed his wonder
v. bother the people who were shut up in Leyden and
Ctrecht supposed that in those sieges there was no
war; or whether the women and children, orouchlng
fn caves in Vickburg, when Grant besieged that
stronghold, had any doubt that there was a state of
war existing. .
Be spoke of the murder of union citisens In tbe
onih and mill that their murderers, when arrested
and convicted, had been, through tbe machinations of
Andrew Johnson, tbe present leader of the rebellion,
turned loose and received a weloome from tbeir fellow
citizens, with an audible ''well done, good and faith
lu) servant "
If this be peace, then in God's name let the Union
men of tbe sontb be armed for war. The atrocities of
kort Pillow were overshadowed by those of Mew Or
leans, and the outrages committed by the JEnglish
army at the storming of Badajoa were exceeded by
those of what bad been mildly called "the Memphis
riots."
Be sent to theClerk'i desk and had read letters and
newspaper extracts Illustrating the condition of things
at the south. If Congress, he said, had no right to te
riress such wrongs the bill should tail, But why noif
Because they were told congress bad no right to inter
lore with btaten; and these wete States. lie was not
surprised to bear sncb dogmas from the Bemooratio
side ot the Bouse, hut when he heard them proclaimed
by a sou of Massachusetts, (Mr. Banks,) then he felt
called upon to raise bis protest against them.
Be claimed that there were no Btates in the south.
There was territory; bat there were no btates, aud if
Congress could protect Union men therein Congress
should pans i his military bill. Be claimed that this
had been tbe view of Abraham Lincoln, who recalled
tbe order issued by General Weltitel for the assembling
of theLogiulature as soon as he learned tbat tbe mem
bers were to meet as legislators and not as private
citizens. And it bad been the view of Andrew John
son, expressed to Ueneral Ganut of Arkansas imme
diately after Wilkes Uootb had invested him with the
Presidential oOice. In conclusion, he appealed to the
Bouse to pass the bill, not as a measure of reconstruc
tion, but as a necessary adjunot to tbe bill passed by
the Bouse to-day.
It was required of the manhood of this Congress to
save Coi gres from tbe scorn and hissing of the Union
men of tbe south. In God's name, then, said he, men
of tbe Thirty-ninth Congress, do not weave lgnomin
iuusly your naoifs with that of Andrew Johuson in
betraying the Union men of tbe south, and surrender
ing one third of the country to the rebels whom your
armsconqnertd.
Mr. MA VMARD, of Tennessee, spoke in support of
tbe bill. Congress, be said, bad either to move for
ward or be thrust irrevocably backward, 't hrough
out the enrectnstructed Btates the spirit of rebellion
was as strong to-cay as it had been since the day when
tbe first gun flashed against FortUnruter. Nowhere
in tbe south was loyalty the dominant or even a toler
ated sentiment. The peace which was in the oonntry
now was tbe peace of Vesuvius at rest tbe peace of a
slumbering volcano the caption of war, rather than
peace
1 he rebellion bad cost one Prf sldent his life, and
bad cost another President something dearer than bis
life bis reputation. This he said uot in reproach. Be
did not believe that Mr. Johnson bad contemplated
the results that had been reached. Ha did not believe
that tbe statesmen whom Mr. Johnson had seleoted as
his agents, In some Instances, at least Gov. Bolden,
cf liorlh Carolina: Gov. Johnson, of Georgia, and
Gov. Bawllton, of Texas would ever have consented
to be used as Instruments or means of restoring the
rebel element to power in tbelr several Btates. They
did not intend it, hut it had been aooompli.hed against
tbeir withes and their purposes. Be would not nse a
particle of tbe national power except what was nvoes
aary to protect the national life and Interests. He
wonld not do anything for veugeanoa. HI" motto
should be charity for all, but uot such charity as
would ruin tbe people.
He knew thai a military government was not a de
sirable government; but Dad as it was, It was for tbe
Union men of tbe south better than a rebel govern
ment. Be did not understand tbe measure to be per
manent In Its cbaracttr, but a temporary measure to
prarve the peace of tbe rountry nd proteot tne
rights of tbe inhabitants antil civil goverasaentl were
established there. -
FEBRUARY 13, 1867.
It was not a matter of detail that was In question.
It was wbxthnr this government, in all Its parts,
hoold b administered by the loyal mn of the oonn
try or by relets. That was a difficulty which ad
mitted of no p astble edjnstment one side or the
other muni go down, There was no middle oonrse, no
hlf-way home. It was not only the duty of the loyal
men to maintain control of the government, bnt It was
Ibelr right, flowing octof the natnreof the conflict
tbe right by which General Grant controlled the army
ol tbe United Btates, and by which Bohert E. Lee did
rot control It. Tho men who attempted th overthrow
of the government hd no political rlffhts until they
were restored to thorn by law. Tbe Union men. no
matUr bow few In number In esoh Btate, should have
control of the fat governments.
Mr. Al.LItON,of Iowa, next addrensed the Bouse,
riec'nrfi g himself in favor of this bill, either with or
without mortification The Housohad to-dy proclaim
ed Hist it did ni t recogntze, bnt repudiated the pre
tinted ttate governments set op In the south by tbe
Presidrm of the United Btates. If Congress did nor
ri w pl.ee the control of thoso Btates In tbe hands of
tbe loyal people. It would b derelict to it. duties and
on i roe to us pledges. He did not believe that tne r re-
I til en t wi uld yield one hair's breadth of his posltioa.
bel
president's plan was to plaoe rei ela in control of
those Btates. If the Preslnent, however, did not fully
(xecote the Uws, Congress wonld then, as Mr, Banks
bad said, prooed to consider the condition of the
country. For blmialf. ha would vnl to .trnv all the
Males set np in the sonth, and to plaoe snftrase In the
bands cf the loyal people, without regard to race or
tol"'. education or property iinallflca ions.
Tbe leading Democratic joarnal of tbe west, the
Chicago Times, and the leading Derm cratlo journal of
the north, the New York World, had come to recog
nise the principle of colored suffrage, and it was time,
therefore, that the people of the south should be dis
abused of thetr prejudices, and convinced that nothing
hn l'rd suffrage wonld satisfy the people of
vumcu mates it was tne only or uongress to
rnsae life, liberty and property safe In the sonth, and
there was no way ot doing that at present except by
th establishment of military governments. He begged
the gentlemen who were supporters of the Presidential
r"1"" no. io do atarmea at this Idea of military go-
VertlUHDt. for thev .linnlll ..Snll.nl .1.- f.r.m h- tm
of the cpllasse ot tbe rebellion until August 1, 1U6S,
i. !. """"a were nnner military power.
It was. therefore, no new thing to these rebel Btates.
The; bad been relieved of military law for six or seven
months, bnt tbat time was a sad period for the Union
people of the south Ha bolleved that if the President
bad been true to his duties, military law wonld still,
even without this act. exist In the southern Btates, for
they are still In a condition of quasi rebellion. Be be
lieved that this measure was essential tor the frotec
tlen of tbe loyal people of the south, aud therefore he
would vote for It, but at the trntu time ha would say to
thegontleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Htoveuslthat
ne rxpeoieo. tne uiii to ne followed by a measure that
wonld establish civil governments in Ihose mates.
Mr. BLA1MK, of Maine, declared that whether or
not tbls bill were t mended, he would vote for it, bnt
be hoped it would be amended to the effect that when
the constitutional amendment should be ratified and
any one of these southern Btates had assented to It
and provided f r Impartial suffrage, then that Btate
should be declared entitled to representation in Con
gress and its Bepre sentatives and Senators should be
admitted to their seats on taking the oath prescribed
by law.
A discussion arose between Messrs. Baymond and
Blaine, upon the assertion of the latter tbat the peo
ple had at tbe polls superadded to tbe constitutional
amendment tne requirement or colored sc. n rage.
Mr. KAYMOND denied that, and challenged Mr.
Blaine to point to a single Btate ontslde of tbe New
Kngland btates. Be said be doubted whether he could
nolnt even to one of them that had distinctly super
added the requirement of nniversal suffrage to that of
tne constitutional amenument.
Mr. BLA1NK held that all of the loyal Btates bad
done so except the Btateof New York, and be sub
mitted that, great as she was, aud overshadowing as
were her members, she oould not in that respect give
lw to the great Hepubiican party of tbe loyal Btates.
Mr. BAYMOND Inquired whether it was not true
that Tennessee had been admitted into the Union on a
telegraphic announcement that she had adopted the
constitutional amendment?
Mr. BLA1NK admitted that that was so, among a
great many other things. (Langhtor.) Unless sbo bad
adopted the constitutional amendment she would uot
have been admittod; but that Itself would not have
been iuiliclent, and she could not have been admitted
without other conditions.
Mr. BAYMOND asked why then Congress had wait
ed for tbe announcement that. Tennessee bad adopted
the constitutional amendment?
Mr. BLAINE replied tbat it was because that was
the last thing which had been defined.
Mr. ALLISON remarked, in the same connection
that the Kepubllcan party of the Btate of Iowa had
distinctly announced as one of tbe planks of its plat
form a proposition in favor of universal suffrage.
Mr. GAbKlkLD said My remarks In the house on
Friday last appear to have made the impression that I
declared my sell in favor ot showing no mercy to the
southern people; that while I had hitherto been in
tavor of a magnanimous oonrse. that hereafter the
door of mercy should be shut against them. Bowever
deeply Ihey have wronged the republic,'.! would not
have any one suppose that I tavor a Heroe and revenge
ful course towards them.
W hat 1 said on that point was wholly In reforence to
the constitutional amendment, which all tbe rebel
btates except Tennessee have now rejected as a basis
ot restoration. 1 said, and say again, tnat I felt myself
morally bound, and I believe the Cnirty-ninth Con
gress was morally bound to them if they bad adopted
it. sua pi I inemseives on tne same grouna tnai Ten
nesseeuid. Many members know that I have been op
Dosed to takiDff forther decisive action nntll every re
del btate had had fall opportunity to act npon the
amendment. Now that they have all rejeoted it, and
considering their aotlon as Una!, I say, as I said on
Fiiday last, that that otter as a basis of restoration is
forever closed, so far as my vote is conoerned.
The time has come when we mnst protect the loval
men of the south. The time has come when frnitless
magnanimity to rebels Is cruelty to our fiieuda. No
other victorious nation has ever so neglected its sup
porters. For a unarter of acentnrv the British gov.
ernment gave speoial protection to the torles ot the
American devolution, paying tbem 915,000,0110 out of
me royai treasury, wnat loyal man or any stare ex
cept Tennessee has been honored aud defended by the
federal government? It is a notorious fact that It is
both sate aLd honorable In the sooth to have been a
rebel, while It is both dangerous and disgraceful for a
southerner to have been loyal to tbe Union. They are
evtryda, perishing as unavenged victims of rebel
malignity. 1 desire to say, also, tbat I am in tavor of
placing tnese states unuer military jurisdiction only
asatemporary measure of protection, until roDubll-
cao governments can be orgauized, based on the will
of all the loyal people, without regard to race or
color,
Mr. NOELL, of Missouri, addressed tbe Bouse
against tbe bill.
Mr. VAN BOBN. of New York, obtained the floor,
when the Bouse at 10. 6 P.M., adjourned.
