Mr. Johnson introduced a bill transremngthe
Acting Assistant Paymasters in the navy to the

gular examination. Keferred to the Committee uu
Naval Affairs,
Mr. Harris (N. Y.) introduced a bill establishing
additional judicial- districts in New York. Re
ferred to the Committee oii-the Judiciary. [This
bill is the same as introduced in the House bv/Mr.
Diven.] .j - *
Mr. Nesmith (Oregon) introduced a resolution
•calling for a record of the proceedings of the court
martial in iNew York, for the trial of Assistant
Surgeon Webster, U. S. Volunteers.
The Senate proceeded to consider the bill for the
promotion of enlistments.
Mi\ JUcolittle (Wis.) said tlfltwarand nnt peace
was- our real situation. His opinion was that
•whatever gave strength to our armies demanded
the first consideration of Congress and. every de
partment of this Govemmeni. He- would
but one word: “ Fill uu our ranks, press on our
columns. * ’ Other extraneous subjects would arise
in the progress of ihe war, and we should discuss
them iresly and frankly He feared that at least
forty days of valuable time to the Government in
filling up our armies had been lost in discussing
subjects not pertaining to this bill. If we look at
this question we still find that iu 1800 the question
was, shall slavery enter the territories!
nothing about the Slates: the power toil : erfcre
with slavery in the State* was not claimed by any
party, not even by the abolition. Defeated m this
issue, the leaders of tlie-rPbellion have appealed to
the Gocl of battles on another issue.
They now deciaTe they would destroy the Go
vernment and dissolve tlie Union, and would *o
submit to the decision of the majority at the b-.llot
box. They boldly proclaimed That what tlmv did
was done in the name and under the flag of slavery,
and that slavery was to be the corner-stone ot their
republic. The sword wmeh they attempted to
plunge intothu heart of the country is being plunged
into their own vitals, and the lile-bloud
of slavery is gushing out all around us. They
call it also a divine institution, and declare this a
war against the enlightened seutanentoi this civil
ized age. On this head 3VIr. Doolittle quoted from
the Richmond Enquirer. They claim accordingly
that they are God-sent missionaries to the earth.
J3y the appeal they have thus made they have
forced this country to a new issue, whether the
Government shall live or die, whether this so
calkd confederacy, based on slavery, shall sur
vive or perish. That issue was fully made up.
and eo far the God of battles has snown himself
on our side. Slavery whs dying allaromici 11s, in
all the Slates, as a suicide dies,or as one murdered
in the house of its own professed friends.
Mr Doolittle quoted largely from statistics to
show the downfall ofslavejy since the commence
mentol therebellion. In answer to a question of
Mr. Saulsbury in reference to the forthcoming
election, whether it would be free to all who took
the oath of allegiance to the Government, and that
acknowledged traitors alone would be denied the
privileges of the ballot-box. Mr. Doolittle said the
champions of slavery had brought on the war and
not the party who elected Mr. Lincoln.. Slavery
neytT had stronger guarantees than it had on the
-4th of March, 1801. If they had not made war
-against this Government tier© never would have,
beta claimed by any department the power to de
stroy slavery. "Wliile Mr. Doolittle was in favor
of wiping out slavery, he was not in favor of doing
so by indirection. Re wouldnot put suck amea
sure into a revenue or an enrollment bill He pre
ferred that it should be done by the sovereign au
thority vested in the people of the United"-rates.
He approvedof the proposition of Mr. Henderson
now before the Judiciary Committee, appealing
to the source of power—the ,people—'
to decree that from and- after a certain day named
in the act, slavery and Involuntary servitude shall
-cease. 'He preferred the' constitutional mode of
submitting the matter to the people through Con
gress and the Stale Legislatures in the form of an
amendment to the Constitution. He was glad that
the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs
bad announced his intention to disencumber this'
bill to promote enlistments of all other matters.
Mr. Richardson (111.} said that Mr. Doolittle
had remarked that slavery was dead. If so, then
was it not about time we shonld goto work and
bring tlmwar to a close, and peace with ail its
blessings again to the land. He did not under
stand that Congress bad ihe power in time of war
that it had not in time of peace. Congress could not
change or alter the laws of war, as proposed by
Mr. Sherman in his speech the other day., and it
possessed no power under the law of u&tions. If
these rebels were belligerents, we must conquer ol
treat with them, so long as they were belligerents.
How far had this raid-on s.avery advanced .our
cause ! The emancipation gave 50, OOu men to Jeff.
Davis when his cause 'was nearly hopeless, and
•the confiscation gave armies when he could not
•otherwise have obtained them.
The’ interests of the white race demanded that
this war should be brought to a speedy close. Why
was it that this rebellion had not been put down
by our vast armies in the field! He would say it
wrs because our thoughts were turned to the
negro, leaving out of question the white man,
who has carried civilization as far as it has gone,
and thus far the Administration is responsible to
the American people for the continuance of this
war so long. We have never called in vain for
troops on our white citizens. Any other country
than this would long ago have been des royed
under the blunders of an Administration like
this.
Mr. Richardson then spoke in favor of granting
such an amnesty to the rebels as would give l::ua
time to'reilect. He thought on sober reflection
they would retire from their position it fair terms
were held out to them.
In answer to Mr. Richardson, Mr. Sherman ex
plained that ho was not in favor ol the exercise of
any extraordinary power. He would affirm it aa
the undoubted right of Congress to say that the
wives and children of slaves used in this war were
dree. Where men were rebels we had the right to
emancipate their slaves under the laws of war.
He never claimed the right of Congress to alter the
laws of war, but to use these laws against the
rebels. _
After a long colloquy between Messrs. Sherman
; and Richardson, the question was postponed till
Thursday, next.
Mr. Wilson reported a bill, for the examination
•of ceitain auny officers. Passed.
Tne Senate then adjourned.
House—Mr. Hotchkiss (N. Y.) introduced a
bill granting lands to aid the construction of the
Lake superior Railroad, and providing for its use
•by -ilie “United ► tates free of charge.
Mr. Dawes (Mass.) called up the Louisiana elec
tion case. v
Mr. Yield (La.) resumed his remarks from a for
mer day regarding his claims to a seat.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) called Mr. Field’s attention to
.a publication in a copy of the New Orleans
of May, 1662, in which it was said some persons
had slandered Mr. Field by saying he went, on
board of a Yankee gunboat, under Admiral Farra
.gnt, but that it was known Field’s loyalty to the
tSouth forbade such an imputation.
Mr. Field asked who was the author of the charge
♦of disloyalty.
Mr. Stevens replied that it was Major-General
Butler.
Mr. Field said that so far as his loyalty was con
cerned, the charge was wholly false.
Mr. Dawes (Mass.) remarked that letters were
•here from a man well known to this house, the
Hon. Michael Hahn, who says, although he dif.
fers from Field, he took pleasure in certifying to
Field’s loyalty. Mr. Dawes added that Field does
not believe Jhat Louisiana is a foreign natidn, and
mot to be retained aa a State of the Union. /
Mr. Stevens said that that was a very poor an
swer to his question.
Mr. Field thanked Mr. Dawes for this statement.
He was prepared, here and elsewhere, to vindi
cato bis loyalty. Some persons may have commu
nicated with the gentleman from Pennsylvania
<Mr. Stevens), aspersing his loyalty because he
•aid not subscribe to the doctrine of a portion of the
people who were opposed to his election, on the
ground teat Louisiana being out of the Union he
•was here without a constituency. Louisiana, he
remarked, would have been here, with her Sena
•tors and Representatives, a year ago, if the loyal
people of the State could have had their own way
What Arkansas had done towards resuming her
place in the Union was done independent of mili
tary authority, and was approved or sanctioned,
to some extent, by the President. He proceeded to
argue that, contrary to the report of the Commit
tee on Elections, he has a constituency. The ques
tion of slavery was never in his way. He had a
lew slaves, but if he had a thousand he would not
have hesitated to sacrifice them on the altar of hia
country’s good before any star should be blotted
from onr brilliant galaxy. He would never let
I the soil of Louisiana he again polluted by the foot
-1 prints of Slidell, Benjamin, or any 01. their frater
nity so long as he couid raise his voice against it.
Hr. 'WaEhbvrne,(lH.) said he had rewired Icti
ters fromn gentleman in New Orleans stating that
"Hr. Field was one' of the most loyal men of Lou
isiana; ever true to his flag and country, and that
»eld had been commended for bis patriotism and
devotion to bis country.
Hr. Deming (Ooun ) spoke about his military
•experience in New Orleans and of his acquain
tance with Field to that city, saying the latter was
-an exemplar of loyalty, and faithful among the
Taithlei-s.
Mr. Ganson (N. Y.), a member of the Committee
on Elections, said he could not conscientiously
’recommend that Mr. Field should be admitted to
xnembership, because the gentleman had not a suf
ficient constitu»ncy«
Mr. Brown (Wis.), amembsr of the Committee
on Etections, said it was generally agreed by the
committee that Louisiana had. never been outof
ihe 1 'nion, and tlmt by her own act she could not
go out. The simple ground assumed by \liera. -was
>o the effect that there had been noele;*;ion. the
military power having interfered to prevent sm.-.n
an expression on the part of the people as entitled
them *o a representative here.
Mr. Dawes (Mats.), Chairman of the Commutes
of Flections, said that although the committee
v erf* not unanimous in the reasons for the report,
they agreed in its conclusions. The military
had interfered to such an extentas to deprive nine
thousand out of ten thousand of the'right of suf
frage. He briefly argued to show that Mr. Field
had neither -ia.wnoncoiistitueniy to sustain him.
, Tlih House adopted the committee’s resolution,
declaring that Mr Field is not entitled to a seat as
aßei-resentaiive in thisHouseintheThirty-eigkth
Congress. The yeas and nays were refused.
1 he House wentiuto Committee of the Whote on
the fcsn.ie of the Union, Mr. Dawes (M.a3s.) in the
Chair, end resumed the consideration of the
senate’s bill amendatory of the Enrollment law.
Mr. Eei nan (N. Y. ) offered an amendment ex
empting from draft not engaged in
trade oi secular business.
During the debate Mr. Cox opposed the amend
ment, saying the pestiferous clergymen ought not
to be exempted. .
Sir Kelley' (Pa. ) whs alEo opposed to the amend
ment, but for a different reason. He did not want
to put an insult on the patriotism of clergymen.
. Mr. Spaulding (Ohio) said no patriotic clergy
man had asked any such exemption.
Mr. Arnold (III.) made au earnest appeal not to
vaste time in personal disputes, but at once to
pass the ml! before them/as within thirty days the
draft is ordered, and we are about to enter upon a
cnmpaignjbb most important and decisive since
‘He rebellion commenced.
Mr. Eidridge (Wis. ) offered a proviso that the
ministe s have not, heretofore, and will not iu
future, preach politics. [Laughter.] Hesaid min
isters are iiiermeddlers and stirrers up of strife
and mischief, and they ought to go to the war be
cause they are more famed for that than, they
are for peace. *
Mr. K*man’s amendment was rejected.
T be Committee disagreed to an amendment, by a
Vote of seventy against seventy-four, that in as
signing tl e quota of troops, credits shall be given
o ‘•Mates and counties from which men have en
isled in the military organizations of other States
01 three yeurs or during the war.
Mr. Fernando Wood offered an amendment,
namelv, to exempt from draft all who, from con
ctectious disbelief in the humanity, necessity or
(ventnal success of this war, are opposed to its
urtber prosecu ion until an effort has been made
and failed to end it by negotiation.
The Committee rejected this by a vote of twenty
hree to one hundred and three, and refused to
irike out the clause which proposes to consolidate
the two classes by a vote of tweuty-iive against
fixty. Ihe Committee then rose without conclud
ing any action on the bill. The Honse, athalf
pastio N ur, adjourned.

principals of Girls’ Grammar Schools, concerning
the recent examination in the Girls’ High and

physical strength than of mental capacity.
