Mr. Carlile (W. Va.) offered the following joint
resolntion:
Ist. That the military power of the Government
can only be rightfully exerted against individuals
in arms opposing its authority; that the prosecu
tion of hostilities against the citizens of tne States
in rebellion ought to be for the sole purpo>e, of
maintaining the constitutional Union and for the
restoration of the Union upon the basis ot the Con
stitution, leaving to eachbtate the regulation of its
own domestic policy, and protecting each and al
in the enjoyment ol the right of selt-government,
as recognized by the Constitution of the United
States.
2d. That the President he requested to . declare,
by proclamation, that whenever the people of any
•of the States now resisting the authority of'tlie
United States shall reorganize their State govern
ment by repudiating the ordinances of secession,
■ adopted in their name, and shali recognize their
obligations to the Union under the Constitution,
lull pardon and amnesty to the people of such
State, assuring the citizens thereot that all their
rights of person and of property, under the Coa
■stUution, shall be.restored to and enjoyed by them,
excepting, however, from such pardon and am
nesty such persons as shall be designated by the
legislature of the State as fit persons to be he d for
trial before the judicial tribunals of the United
. States under the laws thereof.
Referred to the Committee on Military Affairs.
On motion of Mr. Wilson (Mass.) the Commit-
tee on Military Affairs was instructed to -inquire
into the expediency of increasing the number of
cadets in the Military Academy to the number of
jour hundred, and requiring the age of candidates
to be not less than seventeen; also for.raising the
standard of qualification, and for changing the
manner of their appointment so as to provide that
the examination for admission shall be based on
the merits of the candidates.
On motion of Mr. Wilson, the Senate proceeded
to the consideration of the joint-resolution t qualiz
ing \he pay of the United States soldiers.
Mr. Wilson presented a modification ot his
amendment heretofore offered, which makes itdis
cretionary with the President to allow negro troops
a bounty previous to the passage of the act. The
amendment, as modified, was rejected.
Mr. Davis (Ky.) called up the amendment to
- disarm the colored troops, and to provide for their
enlistment as teamsters and laborers. The amend
ment was rejected.
Ayes— Messrs. Bnckalew, Carlile, Davis, How
ell, Riddle, Saulsbury, Wright—7*
Nays—Messrs. Chandler, Clark. Collamer,
Conness, Dixon, Fessenden; Foot, Foster,
- Grimes, Hale, Harding, Harlan, Harris, Hen
derson, Howard, Howe, Johnson, Lane(lnd.),
Dane (Kansas), Morgan, Morrill, Nesmith, Ram
sey, Sherman, Snmner, Ten Eyck, Van Winkle,
Wade, Willey, and Wilson—3o.
Mr. Fessenden presented the report of the com
mittee ot conference on the disagreeing votes of the
two Houses on the Revenue Bill.
The Senate agreed to the report of the committee
of conference.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the
pending question—the joint resolution w to promote
enlistments. f
Mr. Clark would like to know why black men
should not be armed and put into the service ?
Mr. Davis said he had answered that question
forty times in the Senate.
Mr. Clark said this was not merely a anestion
about the payment of colored troops,but a question
Whether we shall put black men into the field to
save our white men. It was & matter of interest to
the country that black men should be employed,
because it saved the blood of the white men.
When we put arms into the hands of the black
man, and he uses them in the service of the
country to its advantage, he should not therefore be
enslaved. The mere fact of his having been in the
service should be a protection from bondage.
Mr. Collamer offered an amendment which pro
vides that all persons enlisted into the service
under the call of 1863, for three hundred thousand
volunteers, shall receive thesamepay and bounty.
On motion of Mr. Wilson the farther considera
tion of tbe subject was postponed.
On motion of Mr. Sumner the Senate, at 1.30 P.
H.. proceeded to the consideration of executive
business, and at fonr o'clock adjourned.
House —The House resumed the consideration
ofitbe bill to establish a bnrean for freedmen’s
affairs.
Mr. Kelley, (Pa.) in speaking of the past, *aid
slavery was excluded from the Northwest terri
tory; and from the wording of the Constitution, as
- a recognized institution, denying that it had snth
an existence. Had the counsels of the patriots of
other days prevailed, and the statesmen who
succeeded them followed just and humane teach
ings, slavery wonld long since have been
abolished, and other questions than that which
now distracts the country would be iu the course
of solution by a neaceful and prosperous people.
But the gorernmeE t was entrusted to the hands of
wicked demagogues, who, departing from justice,
had involved us in rebellion. It was the part of
wise legislators to accept trie facts as they are, and
as they stand to»day, and apply to them the
proper principles, and so evolve from the horrors
which surround ns a system which shall be in ac
cordance with the spirit ol the age and Christian
civilization. This bill was well calculated to pro
duce these high results. Its immediate passage
was demanded from the fact that the ancient order
of things had been destroyed over a ter
ritory larger than was that of the thirteen original
States. Not only the North, but the world at
large, demand the well-directed cultivation of the
lands now'and soon to be within our control. In
the course of his reply to Mr. Cox, who charged
that amalgamation was becoming a principle at the
North, he said Northern men, white men never
seleet their companions from the African race; and
referred to the fact that amalgamation was prac
tised at the South, there being more than half a
million of such kindred to the .whites in that por
tion of the country, and some of whom had at
tended colleges at the North. The South had sent
us what we have of'the stock. Slavery is dead;
let us give it decent burial and erect a monument
at the mouth of the sepulchre so heavy that it can
not he removed. Let there be appended to it the
■Constitution of the United Stateß, written therein,
“Slavery or involuntary servitude, exceptor
crime, shall be forever prohibited within fne
United States and the territories thereof. ’ * When
this is done slavery will be dead beyond resurrec
tion, and the United States will be freedom’s star
of welcome to the oppressed of the world. Will
.you, he asked the opposition members, give us
your vote lor.the bill as atost of your sincerity!
slavery is not quite dead, but is in the act of
■ 1 ma y therelore pass on to the next
. aTi . D £ eradicated slavery, let us secure
P^P lO who have been the victims
rise tn the destruction of slavery we will
lxigller freedom; and out of this
lead us to a resurrection which will
a ustoaglonous immortality.

-whiJdi ft!dii'iert’ff," B, at*-d so P ue of the reasons
which Induced him to witbhold his assAnttotha
Teport of the committee or conference HebJneved
not only in the principle, but in the iustiee and
t»?mg the stock of liquors onhand, and
he had consistently voted for that nroDosition in
every stage of the bill. Two-thirdfot the House
•upon full discussion, had shared with him in ihe
convictions ho entertained on that snbjSt Bv
impordDgan additional fax on whiter, the nr ice
of the article had been proportionately Enhanced,
and the consumer ha.d 1o pay the enhanced nric»
and the question was whether the amount should
go into the hands of the speculator, or into the
treasury, which was now reeling to tottering
under the present vast and unheard-of expendi
tures. He scouted-the idea that there was any
plighted faith of thegovernment to whiskeyspecula
• tors that do additional tax should be levied, and
contended that there was no more obligation to
protect the holders ot liquors than there was to
protect the consumer against having the pric-*
rabed on him.
Ike speculators in whiskey had no special
claims on Congress, but, on the other hand, Con
gress should repress the .present curse of specula
tion, which is the handmaid of- venality, -extrav
agance and corruption. The House had changed
front on the question. In the House bill the tax
on liquors on hand had been put in by a vote of
neariv. two-thirds. That alarmed the .whiskey
dtalelfe who swarmed to Washington, and who
said, let there be light and there was light. The
Senate refused to concur in the House'proposi
tion to tax spirits on hand, and > then ihe House
exhibited a wonderful change of opinion by con
curring with the Senate m striking it: out of the
Home bill. The bill as it now stood not only
excluded all tax on liquors on hand, but it had
lowered the sliding scale fixed by the Senate from
70 to 05 and from 80 to 70 cents per gallon.
As a compromise he might have agreed to tax
liquor on hand to twenty cents additional on a
gallon, and an advance of the sliding scale to.
eighiy cents and one dollar; as that was not in the
bill, he appealed to the House to vote down the
report, and have another Committee appointed; in
the hope that something might be done to secure
to the Treasury a portion of the immense suni to
be paid by the people, which would otherwise go
into the pockets ©f speculators. He warned the
House if something oi die kind were not done in
this bill, the controversy on the question had bnt
just opened, and that the question would be tried
over again in.tlie next Revenue bill, and after the
representatives of the people had been instructed
by an enlightened public sentiment. He leared
that the action of Congress on this subject would
indicate to the people that the interests of the
combinations : of individuals, of monopolizers,
speculators, and corporations, would be com
paratively exempted from taxation, while the
great burden would fall on the masses
of the people who were least- able to bear its
wtight* In conclusion, Mr. Washburn© (111.)
moved that the report be disagreed to and that the
House ask for another Committee of Conference.
Mr. Fernando Wood (N. Y.) felt it to be his
duty to give the reason why, as a member of the
Committee of Conference, he had agreed to the re
port. He fully agreed with Mr. Washburne in.
11 that gentleman had said in support of the prm
iples of his (Mr. Wood's) amendment taxing
pirits on hand,, which he had the honor to offer,
nd which was adopted by so large a vote. He
elieved it right policy to tax whiskey on hand,
and regretted exceedingly that so many gentlemen,
no doubt from proper motives, had changed their
position in this House. The principle of that
amendment was ably discussed, aid all the argu
ments which could be commanded were expressed
for and against it. He was ready to co-operate with
the gentleman to sustain that principle nnd incor
porate it, which he could in another.bill; but as h
understood the power of Conference Committees,
they are excluded from considering points ab'>ut
which there are no differences,and that their juris
diction can extend only to those points which are
in controversy, the two Houses having finally and
previously agreed on the disputed features of the
bill. There were on the Committee of Conference
gentlemen whose .long experience in legislation
entitled their opinions to respect He had no
opinion of hjs own as to the powers of such com
mittees. It was sufficient to say that gentlemen
who bad beenfor sixteen years continually in Con
gress were of opinion that they had no jurisdiction
over questions about which the two Houses were
agreed, and to this opinion he had yielded.
Mr. Washburne (111.) briefly expressed his rea
sons for differing lrom such construction as to the
power of Conference Committees, and appealed to
the Speaker as. to his view of the matter.
Tbe Speaker, by unanimous consent, stated, in
response io Mr. Washburne’s inqnify of him. that
the conference report, ruled out by the Vice* Presi
dent at the last Cungress ; was properly ruled out,
in his opinion, because, after settling the disagree
ments/ they reported a recommendation to change
the original text; hut of the power on concurrence
by proposing amendments to the pending amend
ments, there could be no doubWprovided that they
did not report any amendment in the same lan
guage and effect as both Houses had rejected.
Mr. Elijah Ward (N?Y.) said that while hi? col
league (Mr. Fernando Wood) had moved an
amendment that the increase tax should apply to
all whiskey on band, with a view, as alleged, to
reach speculators, without reference to the injury
it would inflict upon distiller*, legitimate traders
and consignees who had made advances on spirits
at the preeent.ratfc of taxation, he had deemed it
his duty to his constituents to vote against the
whole bill in that objectionable shape, though dis
posed to favor a liberal system of taxation in a
proper form. His colleague (Mr. Wood) having
urged his amendment as a revenue measure neces
sary to support the government, had~voted against
it when made in conformity with his vieWs. He
urged that the bill, as reported, was prospective in
its operation, except as to spirits on ship-board
bound to the United States, and in bonded ware-'
houses and public stores. He condemned the in
justice of retro- active legislation recommended, aQd
: aid the same principle already sanctioned in re
gard to domestic spirits should be applied to those
imported. He regarded this coarse as essential to
the consistency of the House. At present, it a
vessel arrives the day after the act is passed, the
importer who sent bis orders abroad without anti
cipating the proposed increase, must pay-the ad
ditional tax—a species of legislation without par
allel in ibis country.
He showed that by the various acts of March 2d,
U6l, August 6th, 1861, and July 14th, 1&62, suffi
cient time had been given to allow most of the
goods, lenajlde ordered and shipped without anti
cipation of increased duty, to arrive before the law
was enforced, and urged that the proposed law
was an unwarrantable interference with the ordi
nary laws and security of commerce; that mer
chandise on shipboard bound to the United States
bad always been exempted from .increased duty,
or a reasonable time for-itsarrival had been given.
Mr. Kasson (Iowa) in referring to the remarks of
Mr. Fernando Wood, said the gentleman, in urging
a reduction of the sliding scale, did not represent
the opinion of the House. If the House voted any
thing, they voted against, the sliding scale. He
earnestly hoped they would reconsider both clauses
in relation to the sliding scale, with the view of
rendering the bill more in accordance with the
opinions of the House.
Mr. Stevens (Fa.) hoped that the House would
not stultify themselves. The position taken by
tbe committee was the only one which, bv the par
liamentary law, they could adopt. The House
adopted the clause for taxing spirits on hand. The
Senate struck it out, and In this the Hoosc con
curred. The committee were, therefore, bound to
put no tax upon spirits on hand. There was no
principle in parliamentary law which authorized
them to depart from it. In the course of his re,
marks he said that men on the temperance side of
this question became as intoxicated as if they bad
been drinking liqnorfor a month, and they become
so giddy that they loose their reason and lorget the
parliamentary law. [Laughter.]
He denied that tbe House were throwing away
revenue by agreeing to the Senate’s amendments,
as modified. The Senate bill ''would bare pro
duced fourteen millions more, bnt this bill, as it
now stands, would produce nine and a half mil
lions more noth year to year. It was time they
were done with this deleterious agitation. Tne
gentleman from Illinois.had been talking about
speculators coming hither, but he (Mr, Stevens)
thought the gentleman (Mr. Washbnrne; would
hold out agaiUßt an army of besiegers. Nohs ap
peared before tbe committee but distillers, not one
of whom had spirits on hand. Seventy-two
large distillers aloha were consulted. He moved
that the House eoncur in the report of the Uom
mittee ot Conference.

THE NEW STYLE
PATENT
One of the most valnable of ail recent inven
tions for tbe luxury and interest of those who use
Tobacco, is the above named Pipe.
It differs from the old style in having two Tubes
throughout the stem, instead of one, whereby the
smoke is kept entirely separate from ths saliva
and nicotine. The effect is really charming. The
pure odor of tb* Tobacco is preserved, thus ren
dering the smoke far more delicious, and the Pipe
never becomes offensive.
This Pire Is rapidly superseding the old style of
Pipes, and monopolizing the fivor of all smokers,
because it is in reality far better and cheaper than
others.
