Mr. Sherman, from the Agricultural Committee,

.-at a salary of twenty, five hundred dollars, assisted
£>y one clerk of the first class and one of the third

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.
