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.

CONTROLLERS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
A stated meeting was held yesterday afternoon.
A communication was received from the Eighth
Section, asking authority to form new divisions in

therefor. One from the Fourteenth Section, ask
ing that a head assistant be appointedfor Grammar
Schools of four or more divisions, whose duty it
shall be to assist iu teaching the first division.

Mr. Shippen, from the committee of Investi

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 *

further, that we commend the subject to the seve
