XXXVIUTH CONGRESS.—FIRST SESSION. GLOBE OB* YEfITEBDAY’S FEOOBEDIHGS. 'Sziu&e.—Mr. Morgan presented a petition of 'Citizens of New York, praying for an equalization ■of all soldiers in the army, without regard to color: wliich was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Sherman, from the Agricultural Committee, submitted a bill, accompanied by a report, to en oourage emigration. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Sherman’s bill appoints a Commissioner of an officer in the Department of State, .-at a salary of twenty, five hundred dollars, assisted £>y one clerk of the first class and one of the third •class. He shall collect information of the soil, cli mate, mineral resources, agricultural "products, ?&te3 of wageß, prices of labor,means of coinrauni •cation, and the wants of the industrial interests of the United States, for. dissemination throughout Europe,, in concise and popular form; the cost of printing not to exceed twenty thousand dollars in one year. Correspondence with Consuls is re quired, who shall furnish manifests of emigrants taking passage to the United States. An emigrant •Office is to be established at New York, under the charge of a superintendent, wiih a salary ©f two thousand dollars, who shall procure and regulate the transportation of emigrants. Officers are for hidden to accept fees or become interested in lands ‘ior sale to emigrants. The President is autho rized to appoint another superintendent in New •Orleans. This being the day set apart for the conside ration of the District of Columbia bdsiness, it "was ordered that the Mayors of Georgetown and W ashiqgton be admitted to the floor. Numerous hills relating exclusively to the District were,- oa motion of Mr. Grimes, called up and passed; -among them a bill for the education of youths out side of the limits of Washington and George town. Mr. Wilson by unanimous consent, presented the report of the Committee of Conference on the Enrollment bill. ’ Hendricks moved that the report be .printed.. Mr. Grimes thought this an unusual course. Wilson had not heard of such a precedent before on a conference report, x The yeas and nays were demanded on a motion •to print, and resulted yeas 11, nays 25. The Clerk suspended the reading of the report, on a motion.of Mr. Wilkinson, to re-consider the vote by which the motion to print had been re jected.. The motion was carried, and the consid eration of the subject was postponed until to morrow, when the report will be printed. The Senate again resumed the consideration of the District of Columbia business. Mr. Conness introduced the following joint re solutions : Be it Resolved, rfe., First. That the Provost Marshal-General be and hois hereby directed to ■enlist such persons as may desire to enter into the naval service ef the United States, under direc tions as may be given by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy, wnich enlistments •shall be credited to the appropriate districts: Pro vided, nevertheless, that inasmuch as persons en listed in the naval service leceive prize money, :persons so enlisting shall not be entitled to leceive any bounty upon their enlistment. Second. That the President of the United States may, whenever in his judgment the public service •requires, authorize and direct the transfer ofper -sons who have been employed m service, and are now enlisted in regiments for land service, from .such regiments to the naval service, upon such terms and according to such rules and regulafons -as he may prescribe. Provided, nevertheless,: that the number of transfers from any company or regiment shall not he so great as to reduce such company or regiment below the minimum strength required by the regulations of the military service: . «nd provided further , that such sum as may have beonpaidto persons so transferred as bounty for -enlisting into the military service shall bo tra re ferred from the recruiting fund of thejiaval service •to the credit of the proper appropriation for the laud service; On motion of Mr. Grimes the following amend ment was added :—Be it further resolved, that there shall be paid to each enlisted or ordinary seaman hereafter enlisted Into the -naval service an advance or three months pay as a bounty, to be Tefnnded to the Treasury irom any prize; money to which such enlisted man may be entitled The joint resolution, as. amended, was passed. Mr. Conness explained that these joint resolu tions give discretionary power to the President to transfer seamen enlisted in the army to the nary, to make up crews for ships of war to be sent to the Pacific coast. The, Navy Department is ready to ships to the Pacific coast for its protection, but, by reason of the great bounties paid to soldiers, the Navy Department cannot get sailors. This is to meet this difficulty and to enable the Government to send such & fleet to the Pacific as will give it ample protection against any attack. The Senate, on motion of Mr. Lane (Ind.,) wont unto Executive Session, and shortly afterwards •Adjourned. HOUSE OF BXFHXSBHTATIVUS. The resolution authorizing the Secretary oftho 'Treasury to sell the gold being under discussion, Mr. Mallory, of the Committee of Ways and Means, inquired if anybody knew what was the desire of the Secretary of the Treasury on this sub ject. The Secretary had communicated "neither 'With, the Committee or Congress as to the pro priety of conferring this additional power of selling gold. Mr. Pendleton resuming, said he would net in trust.this delicate power to & single head of a De partment. He did not intend to say a word dero gatory of the Secretary, but he repeated he woald not trust any officer with the power to buy and *ell gold, thus giving him an opportunity to raise qr depress the market in that particular. Within -the next four months there is to be paid as interest on public bonds a greater amount of gold than we nowTiave on hand. What was now proposed was A transaction in which no man would engage who managed his own private affairs. Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) showed that our imports largely exceeded our expoi ts, the former making extensive drains upon the specie of the country. We had become so extravagant, owing to the superabundance of paper money, that agricul turists have almost ceased to labor, while nearly •everybody is attempting to speculate, and are de serting their farms and over-populating oar cities. "We should not by sueh an expedient os it n«w proposed cut loose from our anchor, the basis of the credit of the Government, and throw all onr .gold upon the market in order to (buy paper. He repeated, the curse of the country is over-importa tion and luxuries, such as silkß, satins and cash meres, and if gold would rise enough to stop im portation, it wonld be the greatest blessing of which we conld have any conception. He argued that the public laith is solemnly pledged to devote the receipts of gold to the pay ment ot the interest on the public debt; here was the law of 1662. If there was a surplus of specie in the Treasury, let the Secretary, if he will, an ticipate with it the payment of the interest falling due in July next. The President has the sword, and, through the Secretary, the purse, and he ‘therefore stands {forth the impersonation of des potism. If he chooses to exercise it, the Secretary has the manufacture and disposition of thousands of millions of paper money. He believed the Secretary an honest and upright man, but never, in his whole pablic life, had he seen an officer surrounded with more thieves and robbers. He ■could xame a dozen whose standing was such that neither the [Republicans or Democrats would trust them with their private affairs; and now the pro position is to give the Secretary of the Treasury absolute powtr over the money markets of the country. Let us hold fast.to the specie basis. Mr. Stebbins (N. Yv) maintained that the House itself, with great unanimity, should have originated -the bill requesting and directing the Secretary of the Treasury to use the gold accumulating in the treasury beyond its requirements, and not have waited fofthe Secretary to intimate a wish for it. Yle said that the Government was hoarding gold from necessity, because there was no legal way of partiDg with it, and gold was becoming daily more •scarce; in fact, so scarce that the large transactions caused by the customs, by the export demand, by -contracts maturing in "Wall street, on the Stock [Exchange, through sterling exchange transactions, -the gold room, and traffic at the hotels, were tend ing to enhance it 3 value, and consequently the value of the neceisanes of life; and that it was dimply a question as to whether the Government should continue to occupy this position, or whether they should be empowered to sell at the market price all that it did not require for the spe cial purposes indicated by the laws. He believed -that the Secretary of the Treasury would use the power with wisdom; that all his efforts looked in that direction, and that the House had no good Teason to doubt that he would continue to manage :!his Department in the same way. He regarded •the question as purely ono of interest to all classes Of the community and the necessities of the nation, not in any way political, and he should govern his vote accordingly. Mr. Garfield (Ohio) made an ostimate as to the receipts into the Treasury at the rate of four hun dred thousand dollars a day, saying lhat in July next twenty-threemiilions and ahalfare to be paid in coin, and that was every dellar whieh the Gov ernment was pledged to pay on the first of that month. There would remain a surplus on the basis •of the present receipts greatly exceeding theeati unatf s. There would remain in theTreasnry, on the Ist of July, fifty and a hail millions in gold, and there was no law to enable the Treasury to dis ;P 06 ®pj this sum. He said great wars arenotcon 4uct6d with gold, but with paper. * Boutwell said the firet security of public •credit is faith, and that all public officers should be held to a rigid responsibility. By taxation aud judicious legislation they had provided for the pay °v! l ? e - l >whli e debt, and designated the medium in. which it .should be paid. They bad guarantied by sanctioned by public #hoQ ld be paidm specie. Jfcey were told they were to have asnrplus of gold; but he did not concur m the statement of the gen t eman from Ohio (Mr Garfield), if the propor tion now pending should not be accepted,* would xnovu an amendment authorizing the SetrftUrVrtf th. Treasury to anticipate tbe pJ * frta7.fr interest from time to tim., at the rate of sinner cent, in gold, and thns red«»i C o apo £, The true way to relieve the Treasury of anrnina coin was to pay it ont in this way, p u * Mr. Fernando Wood (N.Y.) deprecated the char acter of that species of legislation and executive action which resorted to these temporary expedi ents. While he did not propose 10 discuss the im mediate question before the House in any factious or partisau spirit, candor compelled him to say that the fundamental error was in the financed system adopted-by the Administration. It was based on an .utterly false principle; it was neither new nor safe. It has been Tried by other countries and frequently by enterprising Wall street finan ciers, and in every case had led to likeiesults, namely, ruin, bankruptcy and repudiation. There was no mystery in this question; it was simply whether an individual or a coula sustain itself long,by relying upon, borrow ing, and not upon legitimate sources of revenue. He appealed to the representatives of the Govern ment to bring forward some proposition which would enable us to pass through the present ter rible ordeal without bankruptcy and ruin. The imminent danger of a cillapse in the public credit should admonish them that by mathematical calcu lation, another three years, and we may have ten of this war, will endin'not only the,.collapse of the Treasury, but in the prostration of all the Na tional interests of people. Mr. Kasson (Iowa) would so far depart from, the question as to say that if the gentleman who had just taken his seat, and his friends, would endeavor to unite the North in solid pkalanx to suppress the rebellion by force of arms, the sol ‘ diers, for whom those gentlemen profess to sym pathize, would soon be permitted to return to their homes. As to the pending resolution, it did not propose to sell the amount of gold on hand, but only the surplus not needed for payment of inte rest on the public debt. It only appropriated the surplus beyond the wants of the Government. It did not, therefore, touch or come in conflict with the public faith. No gentleman could say that the Secretary of the Treasury ever violated his public obligations. It was true itgivestheSec reiary .the discretion to sell, but this was abso lutely-necessary to render the measureeffectiye. Mr. Lldridge (Wis.) asked whether the Secre tary has not already disposed of gold, as proposed in this resolution. He understood the Secretary has heretofore thrown gold in the market. . Mr. Kasson asked Mr. Eldridgeto give his au thority. He did not believe it was true. Mr. Davis (Md.), said- the Secretary told 14m that not one dollar h;*.d been disposed of contrary to law. ... Mr.. Alley (Mass.) was understood to make a similar sTaiement. Mr. Eldridge thought he had given the autho rity for his statement, Mr. Hooper, of Massachu setts. Mr. Hooper replied that, if the gentleman get such an impression from him he misunderstood him. Mr. Kasson concluded his remarks and said he regarded the passage of the resolution as . neces sary to enable the Secretary to check gold specula tions. Mr. Dumont (Ind.) said he was in favor of the restoration of the Government at all events. The way to put an end to the war was by the bayonet and naked swoi d. Another way. was to concede all the rebels ask, and to say they were right, and the Northern peo ple wrong. Another way was to now fall back on the specie basis in the payment of our debts and obligations. That wonld end the war. But his opposition this resolution was on a different ground. He had no disposition to quarrel with ihe Government. It did not come into power by the aid ol his vote, but to quarrel with the Gov ernment was to help to paralyze it. He was op posed to the resolution, because it would involve a violation ofi public faith. It wonld turn the Treasury Department into a great broker’s shop. He offered an amendment in the form of a proviso, that the Secretary of the Treasury shall not sell any gold under this act, without the advice and consent of the other executive departments of the Government, and that the opetations of this act shall cease at the expiration of one year. Mr. Cox (Ohio) modified an amendment which he offered at an early stage of the proceedings, so as to read : Provided , That before any such sale shall take place, at least five days’ public notice shall be given of the time and place for receivingblds; and provided further, That the Secretary of the Treasu ry may, if he deems it lor the interest of the Treasury, withdraw from the maTket the gold of fered at any time before the bid is actually ac cepted. Mr. Cox said he learned that $15,000,000 more was required to pay the interest on the public debt than would be received from custom. If the gold was sold, it would have to be bought back again. Mr. Stevens said he did not expect the discus sion would last all day. He lound that the mer chants of New York did not desire relief, and that according to their representative, they would rather be ground between the upper and the nether mill stone. Important amendments 3 had been offered which might be proper to incorporate in this reso lution in some shape, and, therefore, he moved to rteommit the-resolution with leave to report to morrow, which was agreed to. The House then passed a bill appropriating $20,000, to pay taxes on Go vernment lands in the West. Mr. Odell, from the Military Committee, re ported a joint resolution, explanatory of certain sfiets of Congress. He said many petitions had been sent hither from several of the States, and under instructions from the Military Committee he bad reported the resolution. Under the’ acts re ferred to, the President had called out the militia for nine months. A large portion had received the twenty-five dollars bounty, and the resolution simply provides that others may also receive that amount. It was an act of justice to the sol diers. The joint resolution was passed. The House resumed the consideration of the bill to establish a Bureau for Freedmen* s Affairs Mr. Cole (Cal.) spoke in favor of the measure, and of the employment of negro soldier?, thus strengthening the national army to crush the rebel lion. Without fwther proceedings the House, at half past four o’ clock, adjourned. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. OLOBB Ok TBSTBSDAT B PROCEEDINGS. EOUSH OT ÜBPEBEBXTATIVKF, Mr. Etnieroffered the following petition: The undersigned citizens of Pennsylvania re spectfully request your honorable bodies to ap point a committee of investigation to inquire into and report to the present or next Legiil&iure,upon the following points, viz: First—Whether some or all of the Railroad Cor porations chartered by the State, charge the citi zens of this State more for the transportation of both passengers and merchandise in proportion to the distance traveled than they charge to the citi zens of other States. Second—Whether any of said Corporations as sume the power of discriminating between indi viduals; carrying for some without charges; charging some a high and others a low rate, aud, if so, the effect of such a course upon the business of such of our citizens who are not favored by low rates. Third—Whether any of said Corporations grant free passes over their railroads to citizens of this State who are not connected with the road;and the namee, occupation, and residence of persons who have accepted such passes. Fourth—Whether any of said Corporations, the r officers or any other persons on behalf of said Cor porations, have at any time influenced, or attempted to influence, legislation in our htate by any means whatever. Your memorialists have been informed that in the State of Rhode Island some such facte as above indicated were found, by a Legislative Committee, to exist in regard to their railroads, and it was alleged that to accomplish their purposes they by such 'means controlled the business of a large portion' ef the citizens along the. lines of their roads, and had the power to destroy some and build up other?; that they by such means became the dispensers of corrupting and mercenary favors, to be gratefully repaid by influencing public opinion or by services in the legis’ative halls; that they were thus able to maintain a standing army in our midst, and to pay it by the pillage of those whom it is employed to overawe and subjugate; and they further expressed the fear that their State would, if the evd was not • corrected, be subjugated body and soul to the iron will of lawless and sagacious corporations. Your .memorialists are of the opinion that it is high time that we, too, should inquire into the jnatter; and if it be found that we are, in our State, in a similar danger, that we apply the remedy in due time. Mr. Etnier moved to refer'the petition to a special committee of five. A discussion ensued as to the propriety of the course, and it was proposed to refer the whole matter to the Committee of Vice and Immorality. The whole subject was Anally postponed indefi nitely on motion of Mr. Hopkins, ot Philadelphia. Various reports of Committees were received. Several Bounty bills, affecting certain township west of the Alleghenies, wore introduced and passed. Mr. Cochran, an aet for the consolidation of Pennsylvania loans.
