XXXVIIITH CONGEES S—FIRST SESSION. CLOSE Oir YESTEIJDAY’S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. On. motion, of Mr. Powell (Ky.), the Senate.pro ceeded to the consideration of his call ing for the report and evidence of the Commission, at the head of which was General McDowell, charged to investigate the conduct of certain officers in the West. ' Mr. Wilson did not think the Senate should or der these papers. If it was the report of a court martial, where both sides could be heard, he’wouid not object to a call for papers in any case what ever. This was simply a commission sent out to seek information for the government, much of Which was to be used in the prosecution of such officers as had been derelict in duty and become im plicated in nnlawfui transactions. Mr. Grimes proposed an amendment, to strike ont the words *‘Secretary of War,” aad insert * ‘request the President of the United States to transmit to the Senate the report and the evidence, and any papers in his possession shedding light upon the subject.” Mr. Grimes said he understood the whole pro ceedings, both in the institution of this commission and its subsequent action, were grossly in viola tion of the articles of waiyowhich. provided -‘that fio such commission should be created except by the President, and him alone.” He was iuformed that the President was wholly ignorant of tbe for mation of such a commission. He (Mr. Grimes), considered it nothing but a commission empowered to fish up testimony derogatory to officers of high Standing in the army. referred, as an instance, to the case of Gen. Curtis, who was arraigned on ex parte testimony Without his presence. He had been informed that every particle of ihe testimony reflecting upon Oeneral Curtis, taken by the Commission, was ■disproved by testimony now in possession of the President and the War Department So satisfac tory waa the evidence, that the President an nounced at once that General Curtis was free from all blame. If this resolution passes it should be accompanied byurequest for any testimony which should properly accompany it, that the country may have an opportunity to judge ol both sides. He did not want an ex parte statement to go out to the detriment of a soldier, when the records of the War Department entirely exonerated him. Mr. lane (Kansas) moved to insert after the word “President” the words, “if not incompatible With the public interests.” Mr. Powell had no objection to the amendment of the Senator from lowa. That Senator had stated that the commission was organized without the knowledge of the President. This was i-o doubt the truth, for the Secretary of War was in the habit of doing things without the knowledge -of the President, just as he pleased very much to the detriment of the best interests of the country. If the President allowed such thint s to be done without his knowledge, he was not entitled to the commiseration of the couniry. He should instantly 'dismiss such an official from his service. Mr. Powell hoped that Gen. Curtis was excul pated. He had visited the War Department on one occasion for the purpose of examining into a law he had introduced here to prevent frauds upon the War Department, and was flatly refused the privilege of reading the reports in toe War office. He (Mr. Powell) considered it an unpardonable rudeness to a Senator, and he had not put his foot inside ot that office since. He contended that he had an equal right to the privileges of the War Department with Republican Senators, Mr. Dane (Kansas) had no answer hut this to make to the assault ol Hie Senator from Kentucky on the President and Secretary of War while in the performance of Iheir duty. If he was either of these officers, he would consider it the highest honor that could be paid him to be assaulted by the Senator from Kentucky. * 9 J Mr. Sherman said the evidence in the possession Of the Piesident abundantly vindicated Gen. Cur tis from the charges of speculation in cotton. He had it from the lips of the President himself that the removal of Gen. Curtis was for another cause. 'Mr Powell said the Senator from Kansas had stated that if he was the President or Secretary of Wai he would want no higher eulogy than his censure. If he thought the Secretary was per forming his duty he would have no word ol cen sure for him.. Of one thing he was certain, that the praises of the Senator from Kansas would be very damaging to the President and his War Secretary. Mr. Dane (Kan. )* bad been here three years and had never heard one word from the Senator (Mr Powell) in denunciation of the leaders of the rebel lion, while he heafd day by day denunciations of the officers of the Government. Mr. Johnson hoped the Senator from Massachu setts would withdraw his objections to tbe passage cl the resolution as amended. Gen. Curtis was not 2he only efficer whose reputation had been damaged in public estimation by the Commisrion. _ Nine tenths of the evidence before it would not be re-' ceived in a court of justice. Mr, Wilson would not resist the passage of the resolution after the amendment of the Senator from. Ohio. As a general rule, however, he did not think it proper to call lor the reports of and evidence taken by Commissions sent out by the War Department to reform abuses, to be spread before tbe country. Tlie subject “was then informally postponed. The bill to promote enlistments came up in ■order, the pending amendment being that of Mr. Brown, recommending a general emancipation policy as a war measure. Mr. Brown addressed tbe Senate for two hours and a half in support ot the proposition that Con gress and the Executive "were clothed, -with full power to eradicate slavery as a war measure, and asserted that the present struggle in which we were engaged would have to be fought over again, af during Us continuance the institution of slavery was not eradicated by the exercise of those powers with which Congress and the Executive are clearly clothed. Mr. Brown quoted voluminously from Patrick Henry and John Quincy Adams in support of the existence of this power. He contended that Mis souri, which forty years ago came into the Union by act of Congress dedicating her to slavery, would .now gladly hail the passage of another act dedica ting her to freedom. The further consideration of the bill was then Mr. Wilson called up the bill to equali2e the pay -of soldiers. Mr. Davis offered an amendment, providing that the District Courts shall appoint a Com missioner to determine the value of and make awards to loyal owners for slaves taken into the service. Mr. Davis announced his intention to address the to-morrow on the amendment. The Senate went in ~o Executive session and soon afterwards adjourned. HOUSE OF ESP RESEN TATI VE3. The House resumed the consideration of the bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to sell from time.to time, at his discretion, any gold com in the Treasury over and above the amount which in his opinion may be required by the Government for the payment of the interest on the public debt, and for other purposes. Mr. Dumont (Ind.) offered an amendment, pro viding that the Secretary of the Treasury shall not sell any gold, without the advice and consent of the other Executive departments of the Govern ment, and the opera’ion of this act shall cease in one year after passage of this act. The question being taken on the amendment, it was rejected. The House next voted on the following amend ment of Mr. Cox (Ohio): Provided, That before any such sale shall take place at least five days’.public notice shall be given of the time and place for receiving the bids and the Secretary of the Treasury may, if he deem it for the public interest, withdraw gold from the market before the bill is actually accepted. This amendment was rejected—yeas 49, nays • 66. The question was next stated on an amendment of Mr. Long, of Ohio, namely, authorizing and requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to use, from time to time, the surplus gold in the Trea sury for the payment of the soldiers in the field. ‘ Mr. Boutw.elFs amendment, heretofore offered, was adopted in lieu of this, as a substitute for the original bill. It merely authorizes the Secre lary of the Treasury to anticipate the payment of interest on public debt from time to time, with or without rate of interest upon the coupons, as to •him may seem expedient The bill in this amended form was then passed—yeas 90, nays 34. Ir * £$ b . enck (Ohio) from the Committee on Mil- Affairs, reported the following bill: lt appears that , many regular and Vol •tmteer officers are either entirely unemployed, or c ° rles P°n• utnenck said something ought to be done to correct the end, ■without reference to any officer to be affected by the bill. His colleague wanted to get in a speech about McClellan, who would be affected by the bill, unless he shonld be employed before the 15th of March. So of Fremont, Buell and others. Ihe country should not be taxed to support officers who are rendering no adequate service, or no service at all. Mr. Eldridge (Wis.) inquired whether officers could not be dropped, without the action of Con gress. Mr. Schenck replied that they could be dis missed) but that would imply something wrong. But the committee thoaght it would be better te provide for dropping them in a bill which would not touch the characters of the officers, or any im propriety of conduct Mr. Ganson (N. Y.) inquired whether the gen tleman had any information to show why these officers are not employed. , Mr. Schenck replied in the negative, and said Eome of them ought to be employed. Mr. Reman (N. Y.)said the hill affected those general officers who have not been employed ior three months. Bid the committee doubt that some of them are meritorious officers? If there were meritorious officers among them they should not be dropped, but a different coarse should be pur sued with others. The House should not pass a general law destroying all, whether good or bad. There should be a distinction. Mr. Schenck replied, saying a discretion must be left to the President, and further showed the propiiety of passing the bill. Mr. Cox said that gentlemen on his side desired to offer amendments. It was only fair that an opportunity should be afforded for discussion upon this. Mr. Schenck said he. could not consent to any accommodation including a threat Mr. Cox said ho cautiously avoided any threat. His gallant lriend from Ohio ought not to be scared by threats, anyhow. Mr. Schenck remarked he would agree to make the bill a special order, and asked oh what day the gentleman would take it up. . , Mr. Cox replied on the first day-of April. [Laughter.] T . By general consent the bill was made the order for Tuesday next. . Ihe Senate bill to establish a uniform system of ambulances, was passed, with flight amend ments. Also, the bill to increase the rank, pay and emoluments of the Provost Marshal General to those of a Brigadier General. The vote on this stood 65 against 26. Mr. Farnsworth, from the Committee on Mili tary Aflairs, reported a bill providing ibat regu lar and volunteer chaplains shall not suffer dimi nution or loss of pay when ;&bsent on leave on aj count or when held by the enemy as prisoners. The bill also provides for giving them pensions in case of disabilities, at the rate of $2O a month. This bill was passed. Mr. Julian (Ind,) from the Committee on Pub lic Lands, reported a bill to secure to persons in the military or naval service of the United States homesteads on confiscated or forfeited estates in insurrectionary districts, and for other purposes. The biJl was ordered to be printed and recom mitted. At 4.50 P. M. the House adjourned. TEE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. CLOSE OB TESTBED AY* S PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. The Senatereassembled at 3 o’clock P.

One from the Nineteenth.

The report was Adopted. Mr. Shippen, from the committee of Investi gation into ihe examination at the Girls’ Hizh and Normal School, reported that a laree amount of evidence had been taken, buttbat the commit tee was no£ ready to report. On motion, it was agreed thatßrooks’ s fljeatal THE DAILY BVENINg BULLETIN; PHILADELPHIA: WEDNESDAY MARCH 9 1864. Arithmetic and Key be adopted for use in the pub lic schools. , lPr. from the Committee of Investiga tion at Girls’ High School, move'd that the result of the late examination at the Girls’ High and Normal Schools be announced to the Board, and that the committee on that school admit the candi dates. ’ £ . Mr,. Fletcher moved an amendment that the re sult of the examination be announced, withtheex ception of that arithmetic.and deftnitibns... I)r. Nebinger opposed the amendment; it waS countenancing rebellion in the candidates against the teachers of the Normal School. Mr. Fletcher declared that a rebellion, of the kind which had taken place at ihe Girls* High, School examination was a righteous one. He held that when any-authorities usurp or exceed their delegated powers, it is the right and duty of the governed to rebel against such usurped authority. Dr. Nebinger replied that after the oppressed have appealed to the*proper authority without re dress, that then they might rebel; bnt, in this in stance, the candidates had not appealed to any one/ not even their own parents. . Mr. Shippen withdrew bis motion, and offered, as a substitute, that the controllers and teachers have access to the examination papers. The motion was agreed to. T. The resolution of the Committee, as offered by Mr. Shippen, was again called up. An amendment was offered and accepted, that the averages of the pupils of the Hancock School be reported to the Board lor future action. The resolution, as amended, was agreed to. Mx. .Vaughan announced that the admissions into the Girls’ High and Normal School will take place next Thursday morning at ten o’clock. Mr. Shippen stated that the publisher of Daven por£s History of the United States had altered the objectionable part of the work, by inserting tae, words “so-called” before the words “Southern Confederacy,” and he, therefore, moved that the vote of the last meeting, expnnging the said work, he reconsidered. The motion was agreed to, but no final action in the matter was taken. A resolution instructing the joint commission re lative to the system of common school education to pay particular attention to the snbject of reading was adopted. Mr. Shippen offered the following: WhereaSt The United* States Sanitary Commis sion has authorised the holding of a fair in mis city, in June next in aid of its funds, and has called upon all citizens, without distinction o: party, for in its behalf; And * Whereas t Members of this Board hare been ap pointed a special committee to enlist the active cor operation of all pupils in their respective schoo sections: tberefore, .
