XXXVIfiTH COKGBESS—FISST SESSIOH.
COKOLU6IO>‘ OF SATURDAY’ H FEOO£ISDIN<Jf}.
SESATB.f 1
On motion of Mr. ‘Wilson (mass.) the Senate pro
ceeded, to the consideration of the bill equalizing
the pay of United States soldiers
3Mr. Oonness (Oal.) -withdrew his amendment
confining the benefits of the bill to those in. the ser
vice from the passage ol the act.
Mr. Sumner offered an amendment providing
that, in cases where the Secretary or War shall be
satisfied that persons of color have been mustered
r intoJthe service at the rate of thirteen dollars per
month, they shall be paid at the rate for previous
services. j
Mr. Grimes (Iowa) hoped that the Senator would
withdraw his proposition, and that, from tins time
forward, every soldier, whatever 'might be hia
color, may receive the same pay; and it any abuses
or acw of injustice arise they could be remedied by
subsequent legislation. He hoped that the bill
xntghtlbe allowed to stand on its merits without
making it retrospective. ■* |
Mr./Howe concnrred with the views Of the:Sena
-1 tor frppt'lowa. j '•
VHttr. Wilson moved to strike out the clause,in the
giving colored troops the' same
pay, Ah., except bounty, during the whole time
•they.have been inthe service,and insert “fromand
after the Ist day of J anuary, 18(11. 5 *
‘ Mr. Sumner said he would :not withdraw his
without explaining that its provisions
would only apply to a few regiments, and there
fore there would be no great draft upon the trea
sury. He did not think that the United Slates
could afford at this time to do injustice to the
colored troops.
Mr. Johnson (Md.), in reply to Mr. Sumner,
said that if the black'men of Maryland were as
good as the black men elsewhere, why%make ex
ceptions] They were all enlisted under the same
law. If justice were done according to the views
'Of the Senator from Massachusetts, some SbOO,UUO,
would be taken from the treasury, or, as he un-
•derstands it, about 51,500,U00. All should be paid
alike. Why did not Massachusetts pay those
troops'berself]
Mr. Fessenden said he understood that the co
lored troops iefused to receive It.
Hr. Wilson explained the circumstances un
•der which the colored troops from Massachusetts
. had refused to receive their pay. They held the goy
•■ernmentto the pledges made to them, and wanted
the full pay of SIS per month, or asked to be dis
charged from the service.
Mr. Johnson said they .were colored gentlem on
• of extraordinary sensibilities.
Mr. Grimes said that from the very outset his
colleague (Mr. Harlan) and himself were in favor
of putting the negro troops on an equality with
whites. He was on the record.in this respect
previous to the action of the Senator from Massa
chusetts (Sumner).
Mr. Summer said that in a public speech he had
stated that while he was in favor of carrying the
war into Africa, he was nr- ore in favor of carrying
the African' into the war. [Laughter. ]
' Mr. GTimeseaid he was not only in iavor of car
rying the Alrican into tie war,but for payinghim
-$l3 rer month-and for placing him on a footing
with other soldiers. If we were going back to pay
these colored troops from Massachusetts, &c , why
not pay those from Tennessee ] He was informed
that there were some thirty regiments of th-se
troops there. He thought there was trouble in the
future to be apprehended from making the retro
spective character of this bill indiscriminate. He
sympathized with the gallant and patriotic young
- men of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts (col «red)
troops, but be could not help believing that, it was
-on account of their action that the colored men. of
the South Carolina regiments refused to receive
their pay.
*Mr. Cowan (Pa.), said that if we were going
back for these colored men, he was also in favor of
.• going back in favor of the white men who were
our earliest volunteers, and had borne the^heat
• and burden of the day. He was not in favor of
• over-riding the statutes to do justice to these negro
troops, until equal and exact justice had been
done to the veteran white soldiers. When the
country should be restored to its wonted prosperity,
-we could do justice to all, but now it is exceed
ingly dangerous.
Tht amendment ol Mr. Wilson was then adopted.
The amendment of Mr. Doolittle, providing that
from the monthly pay of colored troops mustered
into the service in the insurrectionary States the
sum of three dollars per month shall be reserved to
reimburse the expenses incurred by the United
States in feeding and clothing the widows, children
and parents of tne deceased, was rejected after
some debate.
.Mr. Carlile (W. Va.) said that in the o>d days
-•of peace, the negroes had & holiday 'on every
Saturday afternoon, and as all persons were equal
.-under the law, and as half the afternoon has been
spent in tbe service of the negro, he moved that
the Senate do adjourn. [Great laughter.]
At the instance of several Senators he withdrew
his motion.
Mr. Sumner proposed a proviso that in aUoases
• of past services of colored troops where it shall
- appear to the satisfaction of the Secretary of War,
from the actual papers of enlistment, that the
-troops were enlisted under the act of July. 1801,
they shall be al'owed the pay promised by that
act. Bejected; yeas 16, nays 21.
Mr. Cowan offered a substitute for ihe bill as
amended, providing that from and after the pas
sage of this act all soldiers of the United States of
the same arm of service shall receive like com
’ pens&tion.
Mr. Cowan supported his amendment at length,
- claiming that the negro must be regarded as a cit
. izen under the constitution,as he received the pro
tection of the laws.
Mr. Saulsbury (Del.) said if that was the basis
the Senator’s substitute, it was abhorrent to his
views, tind he would not support it. The old
fashioned term was “negro;” now they are “co
lored citizens.”
Mr. Howe would inquire whether the negroes
were not colored in Delaware.
Mr. Saulsbury doubted if they were as “color
ed” as they were in Wisconsin, according to po
pulation. He would nerer consent to equality,
either political or social, with the negro.
Mr. Cowan asserted that the negro had a legal
. status under the constitution which protected
him.
Pending the action on the substitute of Mr.
-Cowan, the Senate adjourned.
LEAGUE ISLAND—VISIT OF THE HOUSE
V B AVAL COMMITTEE.
On Saturday the Committee on Naval Affairs of
the House of Representatives visited League
Island and Chester in charge of the Committee of
Councils. Messrs. Rice, of Massachusetts;
Griswold, of New York; Hollins, of Missouri;
Edgerton, of Indiana; Morehead and Kelly, of
Pennsylvania, of the Committee, were of the
party, together with Messrs. Randall, Myers
and O’Neil, Representatives from this city.
Mr. BroomaLJ, of Chester, and a number
of • gentleman from that town were
present. By some mismanagement the hour of
departure in the boat fiom Philadelphia was de- •
layed so long that it was at low water when at
League Island, and high water when at Chester,
thus exhibiting the Island to some disadvantage.
Notwithstanding th e, however, the members of
•Congress who were not personally acquainted
with the locality, expressed great surprise at find
ing the Island different from what had been repre
sented by parties opposed to the site. Instead of a
swamp, they found good solid earth, and a glance
at tbe situation was sufficient to establish its se
curity against attack by water or land. Gentle
men of the Board of Trade and Corn Exchange
who have given the whole subject a careful and
thorough examination, and who were present, ex
plained to the Committee their grounds for urging
League Island as the only proper site for the new
Navy Yard.
The visit did great good, as it gave the members
-an opportunity of personally inspecting the loca
lity and understanding tbe claims urged in its
behalf. The party then proceeded to, Chester,
whete the citizens entertained the gentlemen in
-the most liberal and handsome manner. Upon the
Tetuin to Philadelphia a banquet was given in
the evening at the Continental Hotel Among
the invited guests were the Judges of the Supreme
4ind other Courts, the heads of Departments, Ac.
Mr. James Lynd, President of Select Council,
presided. The first toast, “The President of tne
United Spates, oneof nature’s noblest men,” was
responded to by Hon. Alexander H. Rice, of
Mass., Chairman of the. Committee on Naval
Affair. The second toast, “The Union—it
nnust be preserved,” was responded to
by Hon. James S. Hollins, of Missouri
In the course of his remarks he said “I
am a citizen of Missouri; I am by birth, and rear
ing,/and education, and marriage, and kindred,
and interest, a Southern man, hut I thank God I
am at the same time a. Union man.” [Cheers ],
The third toast, “Our honored guests, tne Com
mittee oil Naval Affairs—We are proud to wel
come them to the hospitalities of our city,”
was responded to by Hon. John A. Griswold,
of New York. He said: «*l am satisfied that
-these are the days of surprises. lam satisfied
that no man has that power of omniscience by
which he can tell from day to day, or from
hour to hour, what may meet him at the next.
“When I left ..Washington as a member, of the
committee, I supposed I was to perform the
legitimate duties devolving upon me. I did not
expect, when I left the hotel this morning, as
. one of the committee, that I was to be led
through a series of entertainments, magnificent
and hospitable to tbe highest degree. I did not
-expect when I returned this evening, that I was
to meet the official digniij, the intelligence and
toe hospitality which are presenthere 10-night.
I did not expect, when I entered this room, that
I was to be called upon torespoud to any senti
ment, and least of all that 1 should be called upon
to respond in behalf of the Committee. But let
me pass that and come to League Island, League
Island to me beiore this morning was a myth. I
can say, as a young lady, whose travels had not
been very extensive, but who desired to convey a
contrary impression, said, when she -was
a kfd *if ehe had ever visited the
Falla ,of Niagara. She replied that
she had not seen the Falls, buthad heard them very
JbjKbly spoken of. [Laughter.] So, I had never
seen League Island, but I heard it very highly
spoken of; and at times I have heard it not spoken |
of it so highly.' I was told in Washington th it the
committee who attempted to visit it found them
selves unable to land ! [Laughter.] This was ex
traordinary to me—that the island -should be so iso-.,
lated as to be beyond the reach of lauding from a
boat.- [Laughter.] And not’ until to day
has the explanation oome to my understanding.
I itarned that the committee, instead of coming to
Philadelphia, and instead of stopping at the Con
tinental. like respectable people, and instead, of
going from here directly to League Island, like
the difinified committee from the House, trey
undertook to approach League Island, by
way of Chester! [Laughter.] After ray ex
perience of to-day I am not at all sur
prised that they could not land at League
Island. [Laughter.] Whatever League Island
may be in the future, it is fast becoming historic
g'.ound. There are attacks and.defences. There
are attacks that are violent in their character, and
there are defences as spirited as the attacks are
violent, and were I a Philadelphian I could oalv
say 1 should wish no better representatives of my
-interests than the gentlemen whonow compose the
delegation. [Cheers.] " ;
• The foiirth toast, ‘‘Andrew G-. Curtin, tho
patriot statesman,” <fcc., was responded to by
Hon. Thomas J. Bingham, Chairman of the Com
mittee pf Ways and Means of the State legis
lature.
The fifth toast, “The Hon. Secretary of the
Navy, under his administration our navy has
grown to be amorg the loremost of the world, ”
was responded to by Hon. William I). Kelley* who
sketched the increase in the navy and in refer
ring to the Navy Yard said he favored League
Island, but it was not necestary to say one word
about it, as League Island could take care of itself.
"Secretary Welles was satisfied tbat the Navy Yard
should be upon fresh water. • He desired to select
the right location, and when it is demonstrated to
him that the foundation of League Island is sound,
Mr. Welles will be as enthusiastic in its favor as
you are..
The sixth and last toast, “The Army and
Navy,” was responded to by Hon. Samuel J.
Randall, who, passing from his subject, said that
th« Philadelphia delegation, whatever their pol
itics might be, stand as a unit-in favor of League
Island. [Cheers.] They believe, and I believe,
hat the navy yard and tbe .iron-clads is a neces
sity, and that we present the right location for it.
[Cheers.]
Owing to the lateness of the hour, tho remainder
! of the toasts were not announced, and the party
j broke np at midnight.
