3EXXVIHTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION,
OLOSS OP YESTERDAY’ B PROCKKDIIfGB.
Senate.—Mr. Clark (N.H. > presented a petition
Irom'Ghas. Deakna, and asked that the Committee
on Claims be discharged from its further considera
tion, and that it be referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs. He said the petitioner made no
claim, but merely complained that the Senate had
not made him a Brigadier-General, and that Gen.
Halleck had refused him an opportunity to gain
distinction in the field or an honorable death.
The committee was discharged from the conside
ration of the subject, and the matter was indefi
nitely postponed.
Mr. Bane (Kansas) announced his intention to
introduce a bill for the erection of a State House at
the seat of Government of Kansas
Mr. Morgan introduced a bill for the establish
ment of a proper port of entry into the port of
Pl&ttsburg,on Bake Champlain,and for other pur
poses, which was referred to the Committee on
Commerce.
Mr. Hendricks (Ind.) introduced a bill authori
zing the transfer of indictments fr _>m 1 dsurtat to
Circuit Courts of the United States. Referred'to
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Foster (Conn.) introduced a bill to provide
for the renting of abandoned lands, tenements and
houses ;in the insurrectionary States, and for the
care ana employment of persons therein set free by
the proclamations of the President, whi jh. was
referred to the Committee on Slavery and Frepd
men. This bill legalizes the action of the Secretary
■of War, in appointing supervising agents and
making regulations for the employment of negroes
and the leasing of lands. It also provid s for
suitable military protection to be furnished by the
Secretary of War, so lar as may not interfere with
the regular operations of the campaign. It places
the control of these interests in the hands of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and authorizes him to
pay the suitable expenses of such operations out of
the profits arising from the labor of slaves, or the
sale of confiscated property, under a former act of
Congress.
On motion of Mr. Riddle, the Committee on
Naval Affairs was instructed to inquire in*o the
expediency of establishing! a navy yard at New
Castle, in Delaware., Mr. Riddle briefly sst forth
advantages of this location in respect to its
facilities for coal and other articles required in
naval cor struction.
Mr. Wilson called up the report of the Committee
of Conference oh the disagreement to the Enroll
ment bill.
Mr. Hendricks inquired how long the payment
Of the commutation money would exempt a man.
Mr. Wilson explained that it would exempt for
one year and no longer. The sum agreed upon
seemed to mean a bounty for a year only.
Mr. Sherman thought that we could understand
the hill as it was before the Senate. As he under
stood it, the money provided to be paid as commu
tation was considered as equivalent for the
soldier.
1 Mr. Bane (Ind.) would vote against the bill, as
he was opposed to ihe commutation.;: clause con
tained in it. . * ]
Mr. Wilkinson would also vote against the bill,
as he did not think the House had improved the
clause for procuring substitutes for the army. He
believed these slaves were worth as much to the
country as minor whites. He never would con
sent to have any distinction made between the able
, bodied -men of the country. In a year and a half
from now the slaves of the Border States would
not be worth one cent, for he believed that slavery
was going by the board. Notwithstanding what
he had said, he thought there was a great advance
an the provisions of this bill which frees the slave*.
Mr. Ten Eyck would support the hill as pre
sented from the Committee of Conference, as he
believed it would materially aid in filling up the
armies of the StatQg to their proper standard.
Mr. Davis said, if it was competent for Congress
to surrender to the President .the unconditional
power to raise armies in this country to the utmost
extent of its population, it was equally competent
to render power to him to support those armies.
He denied the power to do either of these things
under the Constitution. Another objection he had
to the bill was that it authorized the raising of ne
£to troops, and also gives them their freedom.
The last objection he would make was that the bill
as reported from the conference committee was a
perfect maze which nobody could explore, and he
should vote against it;
Mr. Bane (Kansas) would have preferred that
there should have been a confiscation clause in the
bill, but as the. exigencies of the country demanded
its passage, he would vote for it.
Mr. Grimes said he wa* opposed to the commu
tation clause of ihe bill; but as it was impossible to
pass it without some concessions to ltd opponents,
2ie would Vote for the report of the Committee
of Conference;
Mr. Wilson thought the House amendments im
proYed the bill, and made the act of last year
stronger. As n military measure it was important
that Hie bill shonld be passed immediately. In the
•course of his remarks he stated that Kentucky had
been called hpon-for 28,§00men, an<rnad enlisUd
less than 7,000, The State, therefore, owes the
-Government over 11,000 To draft this number
out of a population of 112,000 would be considered
an enoi mons call. There were 18,000 able-bodied
slaves in that State, and this bill provides for their
-enrollment and that the commutation shall he paid
to their masters. He considered that this bill
would be an immense relief to the State of Ken
tucky. No other State would be relieved as much
as she would.
Mr. iavis said if Kentneky did not respond to
any calls ms de upon her by furnishing white sol
diers, he was willing hereafter to be silent in her
defence. He thought that if we took the slaves oi
the loyal white, citizen, he was entitled to a fair
valuation for him.
Mr. Powell considered the whole tendency of
the bill was to overthrow the principles of the
Constitution. The only proper way to reach the
omilitia of the States was to indicate the number of
men wanted, and allow the Stateß to furnish them
by draft. Ihe militia force of the States was en
tirely absorbed by this great coneo’idation of des
pot power. He wonld not leave such power with
the President as this bill confers. He doubted
Whether sny Senator on the floor understood the
•bill in its present 'shape. He thought the 28th
section of the bill, relating to negro troops wasnot
only unjust to Kentucky and other loyal States,
but in violation of that express provision of the
Constitution, which says that private property
shall not be taken without just compensation;
This’bill mentions a just compemation, yet re
stricts the amount to the.pitiful sum of He
would call this a bill to rob the slaveholders cl
their constitutional property. If it was intended
to strike down slavery in the loyal States, he
would like it done in an open and can* id manner.
Mr. Howard would inquire if Kentucky was
aiot 17, ( CO in arrear of filling her quota.
Mr. Powell said under former calls Kentucky
had filled her quotas. She did not desire to fill
any quotas with colored troops.
Mr. Howe was compelled very reluctantly to vote
-against the bill. He was opposed to that feature
of the bill which said substantially that volun
teers could not be procured for $3OO, and that men
paying this snm should be exempted. This bill as
it now stands authorizes the Secretary of War to go
into Maryland and other States and obtain men to
fill the quotas of other States, and the eolored men
-of these States were substitutes for the men of
States in which the substitute had never resided.
Wilson said the commutation money was to
ee paid by the government for the procuration of
substitutes wherevnr they may b« found. ■ >Vh*»r- 1
*«ver a man was mustered in he was credited to the
-district in which he was mustered. The govern
meat under the present provisions of the bill only
claims the privilege of using the money in any part
of the country it pleases to procure substitutes
Mr. Grimes said he would vote lor the bill as an
anti-slavery measure.
Hr. Powell asked if it was not unjust to take
the slaves of loyal men without a full and just val
uation.
Mr. Grimes said,- who bad a better right to
.judge of the value of the slaves than the govern
ment 1
Mr Saulsbury said, surely the efforts now being
made in the border States, by sending colored
troops amongst us to entice negroes from their loyal
masters, were sufficient. The beautiful Eden yon
■have opened to them should be sufficient to attract
them, besides we have opened the doors of the Sen
ate, and every day we see negroes in the galleries.
Can we suppose that these negroes do not appre
•ciate the high privileges we confer upon them, aad
will not be ready to jom in the ery for universal
freedom and equality *
sa »<J Je world not vote for a blast
™ con d a bolter white man. He
•wonld bare preferred a mat a little darker, bat
-withmoj-e loyalty than the Senator's late sol
.league, (Mr. Bayard). -When.the.people, of Wis
nslaK?.Unea?iail “ore worthy to fill his seat,
thongh blacker than himsell,he should'insist upon
their right to send him here. r
Mr. Saulsbnry intended no defence of his late
colleague. That Senator had purged himself of
any disloyalty by taking the oath, after which he
surrendered his oilice to the State. If the term
loyalty was used in the sense of loyalty to the ne
gio, then his late colleague was difteya], and
would Tejoice in it.
Mr. Hale said the time had come when we had
to throw off slavery like Sinbad the Sailor threw
off the old man of the sea. The gentleman from
Kentucky (Mr. Baris) seemed to dwell alone in
?h?„ re i ro ? peotion oreT pust history. His efforts,
though eioqaent, were not original;
m ore origiual^ ould like to know of something
..Mr- Bale sauTtha manner the Senator had of
ILanghter qncsUon ' here was more original..
Mr Baris rejoined that Hale’s mode of preach
ing was also very original. [Laughter 1 P

He was not here to glorify. Mr. Lincoln or anv
ooay else, as be expressed tbe sentiments of a
freeman. He thought Mr. Blncolh honest, though
not without taults. It was a fault of his that
his great good nature he had .allowed bad men
around him. He should cut them off,and let them
.go. It was the President’ duty to get
rid of the men who had been sitting and roosting
in the Departments. Nevertheless, he believed the
President to be pure, honest, and patriotic and
that his single desire was to. bring this war to an
honorable close. . . .
* The question was then taken on the motion .to
concur in the report of the Committee of Confer
ence. It was agreed toby a vote of 26 ayes to 16
nays, as follows:

On motion ol Mr. Anthony, the Senate adjourned
till Tuesday next.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES,
All the hills on private calendar, not more than
thirteen in number, were passed,—with the excep
tion done appropriating nearly ten thousand dol
lars for houses destroyed in Virginia by military
authority to. prevent” rebels from taking shelter
therein. This was postponed for one Week, as it
involves important principles and affects many
other similar cases.
Mr. Deming (Conn.), from the Military Com
mittee, reported back the Senate joint resolution
relative to transfer of persons from the military to
the naval service. Mr. Deming explained that it
authorized the transfer and enlistment of seamen
from the army. There was, he said, necessity,
tor the immediate passage of the resolution, as se
veral vessels ready in other respects to sail, were
detainedby the scarcity of seamen.
The resolution passed, and is aa follows:
Be it resolved, <£c. , First, that the Provost Mar
shal-General be and he is hereby directed to enlist
such persons as may desire to enter the naval ser
vice of the United btates, under such directions aa
may be given by the Secretary of War and the Sec
retary of the Navy,‘which enlistments .shall be
credited to the appropriate district; provided,
nevertheless, that Inasmuch as persons enlisted in
the naval service receive prize money, persons so
enlisting shall not be entitled to receive any bounty
upon their enlistment. r
Second, That the President of the States
may, whenever in his judgment the public service
requires, authorize and direct the transfer of per
sons who have been employed in service; and are
now enlisted in regimen s for land service, from
such regiments to the naval service, upon such
terms and according to such rules and regulations
as be may prescribe; provided, nevertheless, that
the number of transfers from any company or regi
ment shall not be so great as to reduce such com
pany or regiment below the minimum of strength
required bv the regulations of the military service;
and provided, farther, that such sum as may have
been paid, to persons so transferred &s bounty .for
enlistment to tbe military service shall be trans
ferred from the recruiting fund of the naval ser
vice to the credit of the proper appropriation for
the laud service. *
Be it further resolved, That there shall be paid
to each enlisted able or ordinary seamen, hereafter
enlisted into the naval service an advance of three
months’ pay, as a bounty, to be refunded to the
Treasury from any prize money to which such en
listed seaman may be entitled.
Mr. Ambrose W. Clark, from the Committee ou
Printing, .reported- adversely on printing fifty
thousand additional copies of General McClellan’s
report. . *•: ; • •
Mr. Cox moved to substitute ten thousand
copies, saying the members have not received their
share of the number , heretofore authorized to be
printed.
Mr. Clark moved to lay the'Tesolution and sub
stitute ou the table, but this was not agreed to, by
a vote of 67 against 74.
Mr. Washbume (111.) wished to add all the re
ports made by our generals, including General
Grant.
Mr. Cox said that subject had not been referred
to the Committe on Printing.
Hr Dawes (Mass.) desired that General Butler’s
report be aleo added. .
The result was that ten thousand additional
copies were . ordered to be printed.—yeas 7t>,
nays 64.
j The House resumed the consideration of the bill
to establish a Bureau for Freedmen’s Affairs.
Mr. Kalbfleisch] (N. Y.) argued that there could
be no safety in the method now proposed for re
gulating freedmen’s affairs. No matter how puro
and innocent'the intention of its framers, it was
fallacious in its doctrine, and it would be next to
impossible to find a sufficient number of men to
carry out the benevolent purpose intended. Be
sides involving large expenditures, the system
would lead k> a servitude which must prove
worse in its results than the evil it seeks to de
stroy. He looked upon the proposition with sus
picion and had no confidencedn its success. It was
part of the policy of attempting impossible things,
namely, bringing up negroes to participate in the
rights enjoyed by white citizens, and attempting
to raise to an equality with thorn. He denied the
power as well as the necessity el establishing this
bureau.
Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) said the territory over which
tbe bill was intended to operate embraced a larger
area than tbe thirteen original States. Although
tbe bill proposed to establish a bureau, at an ex
pense, it may be, of only SUXMXXi, it contained the
germ of a new department, with a bead who is to
have a seat in the Cabinet and be an advisor of the
President. He called tbe attention of tbe House to
tbe magnitude of the subject. It bad been cau
cused and decided upon elsewhere, and, there
fore, no argument of bis against the bill -#ould
avail. Massachusetts is now tbe ruling power of
tbe country, and whatever she desires is likely to
become tbe law. - Hence be listened, %ven with
apprehension, to-whatever came from tbe lips of
ibe’gentlexnan from Massachusetts (Mr. Eliot) who
represented this bill. By the policy proposed not
only African slavery-, but tbe slave himself, is to
be destroyed. The higher law was tbe song of tho
French revolution, and adopted by Massachusetts.
But ibis was not the law of Magna Charta and of
our Constitution. Hereafter he woald, so far as
he had influence, withdraw the abolition question
from tbe exciting canvass of the day and engage in
other discussions. Tbe anxiety be felt was for the
peipetual liberty of the wbite man.
Mr. Brooks read an aet of tbe rebel Comgress
ehowinj; that the rebels hod provided for placing
arms in tbe hands of both free blacks and slaves,
and areas in their hands necessarily liberates them
from that moment. ¥o must accept the abolition
of slavery as afaet accomplished, not only by the
North but by the Sou da, as a necessity. The domi
nant paTty here have armed tbe negroes. This is
consistent, lor they have made it an abolition war
and have changed its original purpose. Therefore
tbe negroes should be called out. He implored
them, with tbe means they possess, to end tbe war
as coon as possible. If net a war for tbe Union,
make it a war for the restoration of peace as soon
as possible. In tbe same of humanity, philan
thropy and of the Prince of Peace, let tbe majority
exert themselves to this end. Bo not protract tbe
war beyond tbe Presidential election for political
purposes..- In conclusion he offered au amendment
that this subject b* recommitted to the Select Com
mittee, with directions to report a bill organizing a
system for the card and regulation of emancipated
persons which shall not burden the Treasury.
The Speaker said the amendment would be en
tertained at .the proper time.
Tbe mornixg hour hay.ng expired,
Mr. Stevens, from tbe Committee of Ways and
Means, reported back the resolution referred to
them yesterday, authorizing tbe Secretary of tbe
Treasury to sell the surplus gold, witbarecom
mendatien that it do not pass.
Mr. Alley (Mass.) desired action upon it now,
owing to its great Importance, but no question was
taken.on it. •
On motion of Mr. Stevens, the House went into
Committee of the Whole on tbe Sfate of the Union
on tbe Navy Appropriation bill.
Hr. Ch’lton A. White (Ohio) argued that the
war is wrong, ancLiherefore ought to be terminated
as soon as possible. You cannot coerce a people
or change their convictions. Peace could not be
restored by the mean, proposed by tbe gentleman
frem Kentucky (Mr Smith), namely, by fighting
and srushii g the rebellion. It could not be done
until yon plaeetbe heart of tho puritan in the
breast of the eavalier. A forced Union -would be
worte than the vnion of Ireland with England,
and of Poland with Russia. In the name of hu
manity, God Almighty and justice, he asked,
ought not this war to stop! This has neT.rbeen
conducted as a war for the Union and the Consti
tution by the dominant power, but for the abolition
of slavery, and for no other pnrpose, regardless
of all consequences, driven along by impulsive
fanaticism and revolution. The war was a use
less and criminal waste of blood and treasure.
Mr. Blow (Mo.) replied to the remarks hereto
fore mado by Mr. Blair of that State, the latter
having, he said, attempted to degrade Secretary
Chase, one of the purest men of the country, and
dragging his malice afterhim into this hall. Hr
Blow referred to the trade regulations for the Mis
sissippi, and was proceeding to explain them,
when, at the instance of Mr. Sehenek, he yielded
for a motion that the Committee rise, which pre
vailed., "
Schenck made a report from the Committee
, on tie Enrollment bill, and ex
plained the bill agreed, upon by the Conference
Committee,- and moved the previous• question,
which was seconded by a Tote of 09 to 27; and the
