XXXVIIITE CONGRESS.—FIRST BSS3ION, •CLOBB OF YESTERDAY’ 8 PROCEEDINGS, SENATE. ' f The bill equalizing the pay of soldiers in the United States, army. being under consideration • Mr. Davis (Ky.) resumed his remarks o»» the p amendment offered by him yesterday. He said, though the writ of habeas corpus was suspended, •it did not suspehd the trial which every eitv / . f, r> hits a right to under the Constitution and tHo laws.' The President assumedtheeuormous responsibility to prohibit the return of the States iauh.r their con stitutions, and required that certain conditions • which were abhorrent to the majority of tin* people - ® * these Slates shall be complied \\ ith before the fetate spall qe allowed to return to the Union. The •re-election of the present President, or the election ♦of a person, of - similar radical views, would con mrm these enormous usurpations and. abuses ul :power; In the course of bis'speech, Mr. Davis referred to a remark attributed to Mr. Seward by Lord Lyons, on newspaper authority, in which *he Secretary of State is reported as havin'- sain: ' ‘*My Lord, I can ring this bell, and a citizen or r»ew York'‘will be arrested; and this, and a citizen *Ol Indiana will he placed in duress; ’» Mr. Davis proceeded to comment on the eouse •quences of such a stale of affairs. . Mr. Anthony (R. I.) .interrupting, wished to know whether tie Senator from Kentucky was cognizant of the truth of the paragraph, and "would inquire whether it were not more proper to kno w the facts before parading them in the Somite, with his comments uponfthem. ... Mr. Davis declined to be interrupted, as ho knew the Senate was weary with his talk, and to . acknowledge the God’s truth, lie was tired of it himself. [Great laughter.] Mr. Davis referred to a meeting held at one fime in Massachusetts, at which resolutions were 'passed inciting the negroes of the South to revolt against their masters. The Senator from Massa chusetts took, a prominent part in that meeting, -rm/vret dia not raiße a word of objection against ■such an Omf, a S eous proposition. •Mr; Wilson said i»C wa s at tbe meeting as a -'Spectator Mr. Davis proceeded at gleac length in deaild 'Ciation of the course of Massachusetts since flie cormation of the Federal government, and made some satirical allusions to her Senators on the • Senate floor at this time. He said the military Senator, Mr. Wilson, had attempted to baby aud domineer over flies© who were his peers on tais floor. . ■ MT. Wilson, called Mr. Davis to order. The Chair sustained the question of order. Mr. Doolittie thought the whole tenor of the re marks oithe Senator from Kentucky were calcu lated to create personal strife. ,He should either call the Senatcr from Kentucky to order leave the Senate, as he wouldiiot sitin his seat and listen.to these’personal attacks. They were not only o”ut of order, bnt beneath the dignity of the Senate. Theiiite of the Senate was too precious to be wasted in personal vituperation. . Mr. Johnson agreed with the Senator from Wis consin that much of ."what had been said by the Senator from Kentucky was productive of nothing but mischief. Mr: Wilson hoped the Senator from Kentucky would bo allowed to conclude his remarks/ what •ever they might be. Mr. Sumner had never made any harsh allusion to the Senator from Kt ntucky, and*he was willing that he should proceed in his attacks against him until doomsday.; Mr. Davis then concluded his remarks. Mr. Sumner offered amendments to the Consti tution of the United States, as a substitute for those reported by Mr. Trumbull, from the Judi ciary Committee, a few days ago, and asked that they might be made the especial order for Monday next." ijlf. Sumner’s amendments areas follows: 1. There shall be nc-ilher slavery nor involuntary .servitude any where in the United States, or with in the jurisdiction thereof, otherwise than in pun ishment for crime, and that Congress may make all laws necessary and proper to enforce its pro hibition. 2. To strike out the; third paragraph of the se cond section of the fourth article of the Constitu tion, except the words “excluding Indian* not ‘taxed,” so that the whole clause should read, “Representatives and dire ;t taxes shall be ap-* ; portioned among the several States of the Union to the.r number, excluding Indians not 'taxed, * * 3. To strike out from the third paragraph, se -cond section, fourth article of the Constitution, the words * *noperson, held to service or labor in : one State under; the Jawß. thereof and escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any laws or regulations therein, T>© discharged from such service or labor, bnt shall be delivered up on the claim of tbe party to whom such service or labor amay be. due. ’ * On motion'of Mr. Hale, the Senate went into Executive session and afterwards adjourned. Mr. Farnsworth (111.) introdmeed the following joint resolution: Be it resolved, <£c., That the thanks of Congress are hereby given to those noble and brave men who, baring already so gallantly endured the hardships and perils of war lor more than two years in support of their country aud flag,present the sublime spectacle of agamroltmtarily enroll 'ing ihemselves in the army of "the Union lor an • other three years’ campaign, or so long as the war -shall continue. Second, That the Secretary of War may cans# this resolution to bo read to each of the veteran regiments ‘which have re-enliated,or shall re-enlist Hn both the volunteer and regular forces of the United Slates. The resolution was unanimously passed without debate. -Mr. Dawes (Mass.), from the Committee on ' Elections, reported resolutions declaring that John S. S.eeper is not entitled to a seat as Kepresenta - tiye from the Third Congressional District of Mas sachusetts, and that Alexander H. Bice is entitled to the seat. The resolutions were ordered to be printed, and the Bouse resumed the consideration of the hill te establish a bureau foi Jreedmen’s affairs. Mr. Cox (Ohio), after discussing its constitution ality and humanity, stated that he could not sup port so novel, sweeping and reYolntionary a scheme as establishing an eleemosynary system for ' blacks by the Federal Government, and making • the Government a plantation speculator and over seer. He held that the highest humanity was ad herence to the Constitution. We are invoked to look the fact in the face, that millions more of slaves .will he freed who are unlit for freedom and need care. This is too true. We cannot, by shut ting one eye, ignore the fact. He accepted events, and he advised the humanity of Hew England, fattening upon Western toil, to do its part in saving - the slaves so improvidently freed. If slavery be * doomed, then the conflict will be befcweehr blsck . and white, and no longer between slavery .and freedom. Ho system like this can srve the slave. ’No now system of miscegenation, which is but an other name lor amalgamation. and which is being urged by Abolitionists, and to establish which as a system, no doubt,-we shall soon have a bureau, will save thfr slave. f The Northern Deraecraey are not responsible for his extirpation. While we never were pro jslavery, we were for--non-intervention. Slavery inay be crushed out as the war gees on, hut so will the slave. If slavery had. to die, good men would have prepared the slave to'be saved, and that it Should have been by the enforced action of the States, not by the rough usages or war and the - usurpation of power. - For this condition of the slave the dominant party is responsible. In striking at slavery they have struck- down local liberty, of which the Northern Democracy are the champions. They have marred the perfection and periled the en ' durance df our political fabrie. For. this they must answer next fall., No more cry of pro slavery Democracy. The issue will be the old or der, vt ith Democracy to administer, or continued revolution with despotism. The grand old Union, with as much: of local sovereignty and constitutional andpersonallree. dom as may be saved from the abrasion of war and the aggrandizement, of power, or a new abolition -military unity of territory, with a trinity of debt, tyranny and fanaticism. M.. Wnshburne said hs had always listened to >the gentleman’s speech with attention, for he had heard it several times before They should not, probably, during the next session of Congress hear ■the gentleman again rehearse his speech,for judg ing by-the recent-elections in Ohio, and particu-. larly in the. gentleman*-s district, he would say to him, in the language of Watts, and in as solemn a spirit: “Ye dying man, come view the ground -where you must shortly lie. [Langhter. 1 He here desired the B onse to hear what their friend from Ohio had written in his hook called -“The Bnckeye Abroad” ae to what he saw at Rome, and while -he was rambling among the gilded corridors of -Bt.

[Laughter.] The head •of the great Oathollo Ohnrch, surrounded by the .-ripest scholars of the.age from-all parts of the world, listening, not to eur friend from Ohio, but to the eloquence of the despised negro,and thereby, in the language oi the author, ‘ -illustrating to the world the common bond of brotherhood that binds the human race.’ ’ [Laughter.] further read from Mr. Cox’s cotolne.nts as he proceeded, and re lnit said copies of the C —i zen j°^A lrican descent, beauti- CathedraJ wer * bDt “ opportunity was not furnished for that purpo*e ; ** J The Bouse took up the Senate iointrw**in*iA« ttMta to Major-General Geer*. 3 Thomas and the ofcKamaTsT 1 “* at t ° inClade - Mr. Farnsworth thonght thanks to that officer ought to be provided lor In a separate resolution =Mr. Garfleia aald nbat thanks -or Oongresi had become a cheap thing. The time was when thank* were bestowed only for great.deeds, and then in the most solemn manner; but thanks are now give.» not only to chiefs but to subordinates,'-and -nobody inquired whether iii*“tban»i.ag;6no man somebody idee was. not robbed. ‘ Ho.hadi been so willing to thank any man that he had hot seen fit to inter pose any objection. Now, uo when it came eo_ close to his own history, he could not permit such a resolution to go through without protest. He. appealed to tbe House not to do injustice by singling out a subordinate in battle and give to him the thanks of Congress, without saying a word stout the principal, notonly m.the battle of Obick amtiuga, but in a series of important campaigns.' Some said that Congress had already voted thank's to General Rosecrans, bnt that was lust year, for bis conduct at Murfreesboro*. He was ready to meet "with a denial/feny man who might say Rosecrans was notentttled to thanks for bis conduct at Chickamanga. It has been the cus tom of the press to treat the battle as a defeat. If that was a defeat we might welcome all such dis asters. If our army continues to suffer such de feats,. the rebel army'would soon be destroyed,and the groat campaigns limited. The object of the movement at Chickamauga was to drive thy enemy beyond the Tennessee river, and lay the base for future operations. Tbe Army oi the Cumberland met and repulsed the rebels, and gained the key. of the Cumberland Mountains and hold it. If there had been greater tuecess against such odds since the war began, he bad not heard of it. - Our armv on that day, not more than forty, two thousand," met not less than seventy-five thousand of the enemy, who threw the weight of his mighty forces upon us, and in the aiternoon not more than twenty-five thousand of our troops met that immense host, and at the last charge the rebels were driven fromour border. Tie history of the country would tell us that Rosecrans won the battles in "Western Virginia at the. commencement of the war, but another had carried away the honor. ; Mr. Garfield rapidly traced the military opera tions of Rosecrans at Bowling Green, Murfrees boro* and at other points, and said that at Chatta . nooga we had numbers superior to tbfe enemy, ' Tjybile nt Chickthe rebels outnumbered us. He would honor General Tboin&Vbut Thomas would not desire to be honored at the expense !of " jio £ ?crans. Thomas’s name deserve! -** wriiten .\ n letters of gold Before he parted with Thomas, the Jitter said to.him, in the most solemn manner, alter the battle of Chickamauga, “By all means prevent the removal of Rosecrans from. the command of the army. ft This man, said Mr. Garfield, you would burden , with thanks, at the expense of his superior officer. On motion of Mr. Fenton (N.Y.), the resolution was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. The House then went into Commit‘ee of the "Whole on the State of the Union on the Navy Ap propriation bill. Mr. 'Dawson (Pa.) made a speech in favor of an amendment paying seamen in gold or its equiva lent. v. Mr. Mcßride (Oregon), regarding the war as one for self-defence, made a strong Union, speech. The Committee then rose, and at half-past four the House adjourned: PENKS'YLVAOTA^XEGISLATTEE. CLOSE OF YESTERDAY. S PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE Off EBPEESBNTATXVES, The follo\yingrbills were introduced.
