XUVW'XH COHGBESS—TIRST SESSIOIf.
CLOSE OB’ YESTEEDAY' S PROCEEDINGS.
•Senate—Mr. Sumner (Mass.) introduced a bill
to exclude disloyal persons from the public lands
of the United States. Referred to the Oommittea
on Public Lands.
The bill not only forbids the exercise of the pre
ompUpinriglit, but-excludes them from-the benefit
of judicial rights m reclaiming mining lands, or re
ceiving damages to such property.
Mr. Hale reported the bill to amend an act eati
tied, An act to established and equalize the grade
of line officers in the United States navy, with an
amendment intended to remedy the
of valuable officers by the Retiring Board, and' es
sentially the same that failed to become a law last
•session.: -
Mr. Wilson introdnced a bill which provides that
in future, enlistments in the regular army shall he
for three instead of five years; and that soldiers in
•the regular army who enlisted prior to July 22d,
1861, shall have the privilege of re-enlisting until
the Ist day of May, with existing bounties and
that officers absent from duty with leave for a pe
xiod ilbt exceeding ten days shall receive full pay
•And allowance for such period: that enlisted men
- employed as laborers at the Military Academy, or
detailed as clerks in military offices in Washington
•or at Geographical Department Headquarters, may
. receive the extra pay allowed by law prior to
March 3d, 1863; that Chaplains absent from duty
by reason of wounds or disease shall receive full
pay, without rations, nnd for other causes *>alf
pay, with rations; that Chaplains shall be placed
on the same footing in respect to pensions as First
Lieutenants; that there snail be allowed to the bat
talion of regular Engineers, one Adjutant, one
Quartermaster and one Commissary, to be selected
from Lieutenants on duty with said battalion;
Also, one Sergeant-Major and one Quartermaster's
Sergeant. -
" ;0n motion of Mr. Lane (Ind.), it was resolved
/that the Committee on Military Affairs be in
structed to inquire into the expediency of so
-amending the Articles of War as to prohibit to all
military commanders below the President of the
United. States the power of relieving fromdaty
any general officer, except when placed under ar
rest upon chsrges, or when wounded, or on sur
geon’s certificate of disability, or uoon limited
leave of absence, or when captured by‘the enemy,
leaving to the general-in-chief and the different
department, and corps commanders to change the
•command of their respective general officers.
Onmotionof Mr. Lane (Kansas), the President
was requested to famish to the Senate any pro
tests of Governors of States in reference to the re
moval of General Schofield from the Department
■of Missouri. . r
Mr. Morrill introduced a bill to regulate pro
ceedings in cases between landlords and teiiduts in
the District of Columbia. Referred to the Ju
. Oiciary Committee.
, Mr. Collamer called up the bill to remove all
disqualifications on account of color in carrying
the mails, with an amendmentproviding that in the
Courts of the United States there shall be no ex
clusion of witnesses on account of color.
Mr. Lane (Ind.) said he should vote against this
bill. In the Courts of many of the States, among
which was bis own, colored persons were ex
cluded from the State Courts.. If this law was
passed there would be a conflict of authority .be
tween the Courts of the United States and the State
Courts, and besides there were plenty of white
persons capable of doing the work or carrying the
snails. He believed the radical prejudices exhi
bited for several days here aeainst the public sen
timent of the country would do harm instead of
good. Emancipation was going on well enough
now, and lie would give no vote winch would have
a tendency to do more harm than good. He thought
that blacks and whites should be kept separate,
and he was unwilling to go into legislation for the
benefit of the blacks as against white men.
Mr. Lane (Kansas) was proud to say that he re
presented a State where the people had intelli
gence and-justice enough to listen to the truth,
without regard to color.
Mr. Saulsbury thought the remark of the gen
tleman from Indiana would have a good effect
throughout the country. Where was the practical
good to he subserved by this bill ? Has the public
service been injured in the past by the exclusion of
colored persons from carrying the mails) Our
legislature has already gone lar enough in favor of
the negro without absorbing every day of the ses
sion in their behalf. When passion had subsided,
the passage of this bill wonld be regretted by many
•of those who favored it now.
Mr. Sumner alluded to the origin of the legisla
tion now proposed-to be stricken from the statue -
books, and quoted from a letter of Gideon Granger
written in ISM, wherein the passage of a law
making the disqualification was suggested in con
•eequence of alleged danger from the colored mail
carriers in the South. Up to that time there had
been no legislation of this sort.
Mr. Saulsbury approved the. spirit of Mr.
• Granger’s letter, as indicating the friendly
feeling of the old days between the North and
South. - -
Mr. Powell opposed the amendment allowing
colored persons to testify as witnesses in-courts of
the United States. If we have one rule in the
State courts and another in the United Slates
courts, it would inevitably create confusion.
“Though be.knew that nothing he could say would
prevent this fanatical legislation, he would raise
his voice against it.
Mr. Hendricks could not see the propriety of
» connecting wiih a bill regulating the mail service
3 question of the competency ol witnesses before
the courts of the United States. The matter should
go.to the 'Committee on the Judiciary. Ifthe
negro* s intelligence is so much as to introduce
him as a witness not only against white men, but
in fact to impeach the white man’s integrity, why
not place him in the jury box and make him the
peer of the white man. - .. ...
From the course of the debate here for a lew days
past, the fact has been established that the negro
was the peer of the whiteman, and was entitled
to'political and social equality with the white
man. Now we go one step further, and say that he
shall be allowed to impeach the white man in our
•courts. Let us have fairly and squarely the issue
•before the country. We might say here that the
negro is the equal of the white man, but you can
notmake him so by any legislation of yours. Onr
race has gone upwards for a thousand years, and
the colored race downward when depending
upon its own ability to raise itself. Under such a
•state of the case, he was loth to believe in negro
equality.
Mr. Harlan inquired of the gentleman if
equality was created by the fact of negroes being
allowed to ride with the Senator in a rail
road carl Was that the Senator’s criterian of
equality) r
Mr. Hendricks replied that he did not conside
thatthat was a criterion, but when the Senate cont
ferred t-uch high privileges on these people as i
had within a short time past, he did consider it a
criterion, and that the ’ facts brought before us by
this legislation showed the purpose of the major
ity to place the negro on an equality with the
white Tace.
Mr. Harlan inquired if the fabt of the-carrying a
musket in the same branch of service would place
them on social equality. If they were engaged in
carrying packages, or be found laboring in any
capacity for th f * Government, did that tend to
'establish social equality, or did the fact of their
receiving the same pay, or allowing them to tes
tify in the Courts establish their social equality?
We should be governed by the physical amount
of labor performed in regard to. pay, and he sup
posed a black man could tell the truth as well as
a white man. But because colored men were wit
nesses it did not follow that they should be jurors.
Mr. Saulsbury referred to the difference iu know
ledge of the colored Tace among southern and
northern men, and went on to picture the evils
of such legislation as this,' and declaring that he
regarded the authors of it as the worst enemies of
the race.
Mr. Powell offered an amendment limiting the
provision for negro testimony to cases of robbery
or violation of the mails.
Mr. Conness said that in voting for the bill he
wished to extend the rights of colored people to
testify in ail cases In all the courts of the United
States, and instanced that in the States of New
YoTk and California this policy had worked
well.
Hr. i Johnson. thought the point olthe hill was in
coininLttee’s amendment, as he did not suppose
•ine Postmaster-General would employ many col
or?? m 2P in 'CWying the mails.
_ Sumner mentioned that it was desired to
a very respectable colored man in Boston
faw laU carrier ’ ul c t> u ld not he done under the
nof as easf fin rt'« U mißht be interred that it was
ton as"it ” Ep< ' elable white man in Bos

He then called att, ntion io P the e, n coSStnSSs
Which might result if slaves were allowed to tesd!
fy. He said he thought, negroes as competent to
testify*s other persons of no higher menial and
■moral qualifications. He hoped the Simdment
■would be adopted, limiting the provisions to free
colored persons. Furiber action subiert
was postponed. • ■ J
The SeLate agreed to the report of the Commit
tee on Conference on the disagreeing votes on the
bill reveising*'the grade of lieutenant. General.
The Senate, after an extra session of two a half
hours, then adjourned.
HOUSE Ol‘ KEPKBSEXTATIVBB,
The House passed a resolution of thanks to Com
modore Ringgold and his officers and men for their
daring and skill in rescuing the United States
shipwreck during 1861.
. SrZ* ® lair (Mo.),from the Committee on Military
Affairs, reported a bill that any portion of the resi
dents of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolir
na, Georgia, Flonda, Alabama,
Texas or Arkansas, who may volun
teer in the military service of the United States for
♦i IIT v e or <lurin g the war, shall be
■entitled to the benefits and privileges of existing
laws.- and--’mustered into tee regiments of any
btates which they may elect, or in case of colored
troops, shall he assigned as now by law, and any
State or snb-diyision of States procuring such en
listments shall receive credit as in other cases pro
vided that snch enlistments in any state nnde’r this
act shad continue only until such Stat 9 shall be
subject to a call for troops.
Mr. Cox (Ohio) stated he was credibly informed
that recruiting officers from other Slates were
enlisting Ohio troops in this neighborhood. He
was informed by a colleague that. Ohio regime ats
in the southwest were enlisted as Tennessee
troops. There was no doubt that the richer States,
like New York, are offering and paying more
bounties than the border States could give. He
read a letter from an officer* showing that recruit
ii-g officers from Troy, New York, had induced
the nth, 12th, 17th, and other regular regiments,
to re-enlist, and give credit to Rensselaer county,
N. Y. The bounty is eight hundred and fifty-two
dollars, and local bounty paid down, three hun
dred dollars. In the regulars were several hundred
from Ohio and the greater part from the West.
This is a swindle bn the West. • We are, he said,
entitled to th? credit of these men. Some warning
ought to be given against such conduct.
Mr. Fwclr (Ohio) confirmed the statement as to
the two regiments from his district being enlisted
as Tennessee troops, these same troops having
their lamilies supported by the localities to which
they belong. '
Mr. Blair (Mo.) said the evils of which the gen
tleman (Mr. Cox) complained had nothing to do
with this bill. If the Secretary of War discredits
the law, there was a way to make him respect it.
He knew that thousands of men were recruiting in
Missouri and subsequently credited in Illinois,
from which State they came.
Mr Wadsworth(Ky.) expressed his dissent from
this bill. They ought not to give States the pri
tilege or right to in other Statesfin
stead of employing men in their own States. The
States which have no money thus to spend must
furnish their qnota from their own people. He
piotested against the -whole policy of arming
negroes and bringing them into the contest. They
were commanded by white officers, and denied all
claim to political and social recognition, and yet
were requirecLto fight. ‘ln fact it was-exchanging
one state ol slavery for one far more odious. He
repeated that while the negroes were .called’ upon
to defend the national integrity, they were denied
all the rights, and claims of citizenship. If he
called upon the negroes to help him to fight, they
were fit to vote for him; hence he repudiated the
whole policy, and called upon his State (Kentucky)
o send her freemen into the field and not her
slaves.
Mr. Blair (Miss.) did not Tegard this asawar be
ween some States and other States. It was a war
between the government and men in rebellion
against it He believed they could as well employ
men of the South in Massachusetts regiments as
elsewhere. He did not concur in the remarks of
*be gentleman from Kentucky. He knew from
what he had seen that there are thousands of men
n the South anxious and willing to enter the
ervice of the government, but as yet no provision
hss been made by which their families can be
ared lor. Thousand, of loyal men can he obtained
here if provision be made for tne support of their
■amilies. We should, therefore, avail ourselves of
bis opportunity. It was more their battle that
that of Massachusetts, and they had more interest
in upholding the government than the North, for
they bad suffered to a great extent the evils and
horrors of war. The view -which the gentleman
from Kentucky had sought to inculcate was the
Stale rights doctrine run mad;
Mr. James C. Allen, (111.) suggested whether it
would not be better to let the Union men in the
Soutn remain where they were, to form a nucleus
for the Union sentiment, instead of attaching them
to the regiments from various States.
Mr. Blair (Mo. )replied that that was being done
now in North Carolina and Alabama, but the
measure pending would be more efficacious. He
was in favor of having their families provided for
and giving the largest bounty.
Mr. Garfield (Ohio) speaking from practical
knowledge, said that the only white regiments
rtjised in the South were raised by himself in the
summer of 1862. While his command was lying
in the forests near Decatur, he learned that the
Sand mountain caves, and all parts of th* moun
tains, were filled with tftiion men, sternly hold
ing out against conscription and resisting every
attempt to force them into the rebel service. He
sent out Col. Streight (who lie hoped has made
bis escape from Libby prison), and that officer in
three days raised four hundred men. The women
from the mountains obtained his consent that these
men might be enlisted, and one woman brought
in thirtv-flve men, and he (Mr. Garfield) would
say he had never seen Union men like those Union
men of the mountains, swarming from tne sand
hills of Mississippi to Western Virginia. No pro
position before the Honse had so much solid sense
m it as this, and evidenced such far-rearing and
wise statesmanship.
Mr, Ccx (Ohio) offered the following amend
ment, which was agreed to, namely:
Provided, further, that no enlistments shall be
made ot any soldier, either in or out of his own
State, except those enumerated herein, unless full
credit is given to the State to which the enlisted
soldier belongs;.
The bill, as thus amended, was then passed—
yeas 81, nays M.
Mr. Finck (Ohio) submitted a resolution, which
was Bgreed to, callingonibe President, n not in
compatible with the pnblic interests, to reportwhat
number of veteran volunteers have re-entered the
service, how many irom the several States, and
from what particular States non-residents have
been recruited.
Mr. Dawes (Mass.) called up the Virginia elec
tor case, and the House proceeded to the consid
eration of the resolution that Lewis McK*»nzieis
not entitled to a seat as representative from the
seventh Congressional district.
Mr. Dawes spoke .in support of the resolution
adopting the conclusions of the Committee of Elec
ions, who could* not satisfy themselves. There
has been such a freedom of election in that district
as to warrant the conclusion that Mr. McKenzie is
not the choice of the legal voters of the whole dis
trict.
Mr. McKenzie was privileged to speak in his
own behalf, when the House voted and agreed to
the resolution declaring him not entitled to a seat
Mr. Washburn© (111.), ltora the Joint Committee
of Conference, made a report on the disagreements
to the Lieutenant-General bill. He said the report
was una.nimous.
Mr. Cox.(Ohio).—Does it leave out the recom
mendation that General Grant shall be appointed
Lieutenant-General 1
Mr. Washburne (111.)—It does.
Mr. Cox—Then I move to lay the report on the
table.
Mr. Washburne then explained how the bill
would read if the House adopted the report.
Should the motion of the gentleman from Ohio
prevail, it would carry the bill to the table, in
which event it would be lost.
Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) asked if tbe bill did anything
more than authorize the appointment of a Lieuten
ant-General.
Mr. Washburne (111.) replied that under the di
rection of the President the Lieutenant General
might te authorized to command the armies in the
field. i'
Mr James C. Allen (Ind.) inquired whether
the bill conferred any power which did not al
ready exist ?
Mr. Washburne (111.) replied,iftbegrade should
be revived, General Grant would be placed at tbe
head of the armies of the United States, should the
President appoint him Lieutenant General. The
House Committee agreed to the report because ev
erything was obtained disagreed to by the original
bill, andthev yielded the more willingly to the
Senate amendment to strike out the recommenda
tion of Gen. Grant, from the information and
knowledge that should the bill pass he will receive
tbe appointment without any delay.
Mr. Cox (O.) objected to tbe gentleman stating
here what occurred in the committee, and bringing
the authority of tbe President here to control the
action of the House. j?
Mr. Wasbbume denied having made such a state,f--
ment; the simple question was, whether the report**
of the committee shall be agreed to, and Grant
made the commander of onr armies and close the
rebellion, or whether the motion of the gentleman
from Ohio shall be carried and the report laid upon
the table, i
Mr. Cox (O.) remarked that the gentleman was
mistaken. : The bill did not appoint Gen Grant.
Hr. Washburie, resuming, he was sur
prised that any man, in the light of the intelligence
we have to-day, should make the moil on the gen
tleman did, while Gen. Grant is driving Long
street out of Hast T'nnessee, the advance upon
Dalton and the splendid march of Sherman right
imo the heart of Mississippi, which was all a part
ot the grand programme ol Gen. Grant, and after
the House and Senate almost unanimously had
passed this hill.
Mr. Cox charged .that the gentleman (Mr. Wash
burne) had deserted Gen. Grant.
Mr. Oox’s motion to lay the report on the table
was disagreed to. The report was then adopted.
