TXXVIIITH CONGRESS —FIRST SESSION. "Washi*utoTm Feb. 10. Edhatb Mr. Powell, from the Judiciary Com mittee. reported a bill authorizing the holding of a special session of a United States District court m Indiana, which was passed. Mr. Trumbull (111.)» iromthe same Committee, reported back a substitute for the joint resolution of Mr. Henderson, proposing: amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as follows: Ist. Neither slavery nor involuntary! servitude, •xcept as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist •Within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction. , 2d. Congress shall have power to enforce this ar ticle by appropriate legislation. Mr. Trumbull reported.adyersely to the proposed amendment ot the Constitution by Mr. Sumner, making all men equal before the law, so that no man can hold another as a slave. Mr. Clark (N. H.") introduced a bill rectifying and reaffirming the President’s Proclamation of January 1, 1803, and giving it the force of a statute which was referred to the Committee on Slavery and Freedmen. * Mr. Brown (Mq.) submitted amendment to Mr. "Wilson’s bill to promote enlistments, which oqd-_j, firms the emancipation proclamation, abolishes slayer? throughout the country, and subjects col ored men to enrollment and draft under the same apportionment as “other-citizens. ” Mr. Grimes’s bill, proposing a scale of reduc tion of military salaries when officers are in com 'lnand, .not in the field, and when on leave or withontra command, was reported adversely from tiie Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Sumner (Mass.} introduced a resolution di recting the Committee on the District of Columbia to inquire into the expediency of a law granting equality of privileges to colored people on the rail roads of the District. He called attention to the' subjegt for the reason that an-outrage was recently committed in this district upon an officer with the rank of Major in the United Slates set vice. This officer had been recently ejected from ou'e of the street cars by the conductor because be was a black man. He thought we had better break up all railroads if we could not have them carried on without such outrages, which did mure to injure iour cause abroad and at home than a defeat in bat tie. \ Mr. Hendricks (Ind.) said if he expressed any opinion he would say the outrage was thfe other way. Separate cars were provided for the col ored people, and this case occurred because the negro declined to ride with persons of his own color, and wished to force himself with white men. Mr. Grimes did not think there*were any cars running now for the accommodation of colored people. -> Mr. Hendricks knew differently, for he had en tered one and was glad to get out the best way he could. Mr. Grimes did not think it a disgrace to ride With these colored people. f Mr. Sumner read the letter of Br. Augusta, o . the 7th colored volunteers. He believed that it was as great:an outrage as it would be to eject the Senator from his seat here. Without meaning any personal disrespect, Mr. Wilson said he believed the largest quantity of in formation in and cut of the Senate was from the papers, and his attention was called to this subject from them. This was not the only place where reform was needed. He had information of an outrage perpetrated on a mail railroad, where two colored men were ejected from an empty car and forced into a cattle car. This was a part of the malignant system of slavery, but the country was being rapidly abolitionized and civilized. Mr. Hendricks (Ind.) believed, irom the expres sions he had heard to-day, that social as well as political equality was to be forced upon the white race. The people of Indiana would never adopt that sentiment. He,was glad that the Senator irom Massachusetts had presented the issue before the country.' Mr. Wilson said he had no desire to force negro equality on the Senator from Indiana—what he wanted was to let every man assume the station G od intended him to.attain. The ayes and nays were ordered, and resulted as follows: Ayes 34—Messrs. Anthony, Browa, Chanler, Clark, Uollamer,Conness, Cowan Dixon, Fessenden, Foot, Foster, Grimes Hale, Harlan, .Harris, Howard, Howe, Lane (Ind.), Lane (Kan sas), Morgan, Morrill, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sher man, Sprague, Sumner, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson, Willey, Wilson. Nats 10—Messrs Buc kalew, Davis, Harding, Hendricks, Nesmith, Powell, Richardson,Riddle, jsimlebury, Van Winkle.' Mr. ARthpny’s resolution, establishing a com mittee of live oil Manufactures, to bo appointed by the Chair, was adopted. The Senate then proceeded to consider the Senate bill No. 28, reported from the Committee on the Judiciary by Mr. Trumbull, with amendments. The Committee’s amendments were agreed to after a lengthy debate, in which Messrs. Johnson, Fes •enden, Foster, Cowan, Hale and Trumbull par ticipated. On motion oi Mr. Cowan (Pa.) to strike from its provisions the members of Congress, the ayes were 26, nays 14. N-t agreed to. The bill provides that * ‘no member of the Senate or House of Representatives shall, after his elec tion or during*his continuation in office, nor Bhall any head of a department receive, or agree to re ceive, any compensation whatever, directly or Indirectly, for any services rendered or to be ren dered to any person, either by himself or another, in relation to any proceeding, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation, arrest,, or other matter or thing in which the United States is a -party, or is directly or indirectly interested, before anydepartment, courtmaxtial, bureau, office, orany civil, military or naval commission whatever, and any person offending against any provision of this act shall, on conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $lO,OOO, and by an imprisonment for a. term not exceeding ten years, at the discretion of the court trying the same, and shall be forever thereafter incapable of holding any office of honor, trust or profit under the Government of the United Mr!* Wilson called up the joint resolution equal izing the pay of soldiers. The pending amendment of Mr. Conness, to strike out the section giving colored troops equal pay prior to'the passage of-the a;t, consideration, Mr. Sumner argued at length the iustice of the bill as it stood. To obviate objections to the bill, he wee willing to leave it discretionary with the Secretary,, of War as to what regiments .should receive "the retrospective pay proposed in the bill, so as to include only thosewho had entered the service under the delusion that they were to receive more than $lO per month. Mr. Fessenden opposed the retrospective char acter of the biil. Mr. Wilson supported the views taken by Mr, Sumner, l and contended that the circumstances In favor of putting these troops on an equality with the others from the time that they had been in the service were even stronger than the Senator had represented. _ . . Mr. Lane (Ind.) opposed the giving of back pav to these troops, as we had already filled our contingent with them. He cid notthinkthey were as good as white troops, and if they were, they are fighting for a higher boon than money. Mr. Wilson defended the colored troops for their bravery, and claimed that for endurance they were superior to the whites. Mr. Doolittle said he would to-morrow offer two amendments to the bill. One giving the Secretary of War the discretionary power to decide as to the merits of the claims for back pay, including only those who had been deluded into the service under an erro • neons construction of the statute, and the other to deduct in insurrectionary districts the sum of four dollars from their monthly pay, to reim burse the government for expense incurred in feed ing and clothing their wives and children. Mr. Conness, desiring to discuss the bill, moved that the whole subject should lie over. The Senate went into Executive session, and soon afterwards adjourned. House.— Mr. Eliot (Mass.) from; the select committee, on the snbject, reported a substitute for the bill to establish a bureau of freedmen’s affairs. .' It proposes the appointment of a Commissioner, with the necessary clerical force, for the adjust ment and determination of all questions arising with reference to freed persons of African descent. Proper regulations are to be made for their good treatment and protection, and for their employ ment on abandoned plantations. Departments arc to be established with under assistant commis sioners. Mr. Eliot urged the importance of the passage -of his bill, and in the course of his remarks said he would never forget his conversation with the Pre sident the day alter the Emancipation Proclama tion was issued. The President remarked, the proclamation of itself will not effect the good you .anticipate,nor work as much mischief a 3 its oppo nents predict. The President did not know that was the great act of his life, and by it tbat he was to become greater in the estimation of thefjhristian world. That proclamation will constitute the corner-stone of the President’s immortal fame,but it cannot be effective excepting by legialation,.and ■military success. The sword must loosen the chains of the slave, otherwise the enemy would weld the iron with bolts that may not be broken. The law must protect those whom the sword ■makes free. Nothing has been done by Congress with that view, and therefore the bill should be passed on the broad ground of justice and self in terest. Mr. Olay (Ky.) asked the gentleman whether he included Kentucky in thlß bIU, and intended to trample under foottbe constitution and laws of that State and free the slaves without the consent •of their owners. Mr. Eliot replied that Kentuckyls-out of the Ting altogether. Mr. Clay wished to know whether the planta tions in the South, owned by some of his constitu ents in Kentucky, were to be considered as aban doned under this bill 1 Mr. Eliot said the answer would depend upon Whether such constituents were loyal or disloyal. Mr. Clay replied, he owned one of such planta tions himself, and it had been abandoned because the Government did not protect it Mr. Eliotsaidhls bill did not propose to estab lish colonies in Kentucky. Mr. Mallory (Ky.) wished to know whether thr gentleman-from. Massachusetts would couflsc&n -the land of hia colleague. Mr. Oiay, knowing him to fce a loyal and Union man, and regard it a abandoned property. Mr, Eliot replied, certainly no* hearted people. Mr.- Maliory—Dors not your hill mean itl Mr. Eliot replied in the negative, and spoke un til the expiration of the morning hour. On motion of Mr. Stevens, the House took- up and referred to the Committee on Way s and Means •the Senate’s amendments to the internal revenue James M. Jomjson, as a member elect from Worth western Arkansas..... They are signed by the Oom i uaissioners of Election,; and say thatOol. John son, who commands the Ist Arkansas regiment, was unanimously elected in November last. Mr. Davis (Md.)/ moved to lay them, on _ the table, pending which motion the House went into Committee of the Whole on - the State of the Union on the bill amendatory of the enrollment bill. The Committee were for a -long time engaged in -the consideration of the section exempting mem bers of religious denominations Which are con scientiously opposed to beariug arm's from service in the field, but. assigning them hospital duty or the care or freedraen. ’ .. During the debate Mr. Deming (Conn ) said there were five hundred thousand non-resistants in the country, and jf th»y were exempted from the draft there -vfould be a revival amongst the non-resistance sects and their rank 3 would be largely recruited. Mr. James C. Allen (111.) moved to amend by striking out the reference to religious denomina tions, and making the sections apply to ail persons conscientiously opposed to bearing arms. This was disagreed to Mr. James O. Allen (Til.) moved to strike out that section, which was decided in the negative. The section substantially stands as in the original bill. Mr. Ganson(NVY.) offered an amendment that the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus shall not he suspended in. the cases of alleged minors who may be enlisted. Rejected. Mr. Stevens offered an amendment that persons of Africaff-descent, between 20 and 45 years of age, whether citizens of the United States or not, shall te enrolled and form part of the national forces, and when a shall be dratted and mastered into the Service, the master shall receive a certifi cate for S3UO, and the drafted man shall ba free. . This, Mr. gtevenssaid, would give compensation 10 the masters in the loyal border States. Mr. Clay (Ky.) hoped that Mr. Stevens would withdraw his amendment. A good feeling was now prevailing in his State, bnt the adoption of his proposition would retard the progress of tbe Union feeling. He did not object to taking rebel property, bnt that of loyal men ought not to be in terfered with. Mr. Boutwell (Mass.) said the laws of all the States recognize slaves as persons and notag pro perty, and the exigency had arrived when we should use them as other men are used, for putting down the rebellion. Mr. Morris (N. Y.) favored the amendment, not being nble to see why that description of pro perty should be exempted while the property of citizens of other States are used ior national pur poses. Mr. Cresswell (Md.) favored the amendment, stating that the slaveholders in the State of Mary laod fprnished but few if any men for the war. Mr. Farnsworth (III.) said he would not put money into the pockets of slaveholders. It was their duty to put their slaves into the army with out compensjation. Weputour sons into the army, and why shoald they hot give.their slaves! Mr. Smithers (Del.) would sav to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) that the people of his Mate had no such scruples as the people of Ken tucky were represented to have. There would be nothing more welcome to Delaware than to take her slaves from her. Mr. Mallory briefly maintained thah according to the Constitution, private property' including slaves, cannot be taken for public uses without just compensation. Mr. Davis. (Md.) maintained that slaves do military duty, and therefore we do not owe the slaveholders anvthing lor their services. The committee rose, without voting on the amendment, and at half-past four the House ad journed. THE PEOTfSYLViNIA LEGISLATtTBE. COXOLU3IOX OF YESTERDAY* 3 PROOEBDIRGS. house oy rbpsesextatitbs, Mr. Bingham offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Auditor-General, State Treasurer, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Surveyor-General, Attorney-General, Superin tendent of Common Schools and Adjutant-Genaral be requested to furnish to this House a detailed estimate of the contingent expenses pf their re spective departments for the ensuing year, speci fying the number of clerks and messengers, and other employes, and the salaries paid to each, as well as every other item of estimated expenditure.
