XXXVIIITH CONGILESS.--PISST SESSION
(TX.0 . 1 , 3711 OP IrMiTlitiOAY B "PROCIICEDINGS.
Mr. Wilson (Mass.) offered a resolution to pro
vide additional grounds for the. Cemetery at the
Soldiers' Ii ome, in the District of Columbia; It
directs the Secretary of:War to add to the Soldiers'
Cemetery such portions of the ground adjacent as
`may be serviceable for the purpose. He stated
that six thousand soldiers had already been interred
in this Cemetery, prinCipally since the war com
.menced, and additional ground was now needed
that all the soldiers buried in this vicinity should
-be interred in one ground, so as to make their rest
ing-place a spot of common interest. The resolu
tion was adopted.
Mr. Sumner called np his resolution requesting
the President to communicate the opinion of the
Attorney-General as to the rights of persons of
African descent in the. regular and volunteer ser
vice,; with accompanying papers, which was
adopted. -
' Mr. Hale offered a resolution that the Committee
on Military Affairs inquire into the present condi
tion of the Soldiers' Home, the administration of
funds of that institution, and whether some
other -mode of relief, by pension or otherwise,
would not be for the public interest, which was
adopted. '
Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to grant one million
, acres of the public lands for the benefit Of public
schoole in the District of Columbia. The lands are
to be taken from any subject to priVate entry, and
the proceeds are to be forever devoted to the in
struction of children between the ages of dye and
seventeen years, without distinction of color; and
men of color between the ages of twenty and sixty,
in the cities of Washington and' Georgetown, and
the county of Washington, shall each annually
pay a toll tax of one dollar for the use and benefit of
the public schools, to be assessed and collected by
the Corporate authorities of these cities, and the
levy soon of said county.
Lir. Hendricks called up the Senate joint resolu
tion to pay the State of Minnesota live per cent of
the grant of lands made heretofore to her for lite
rary purposes, which was laid over at the expiry
lion of the morning - hour.
The Chair presented a letter from the Presiden
in - answer to the Senate resolution calling for in
formation as to the territory of Nevada, enclosing
a letter from Gov. J. W. Nye.
Mo. Doolittle (Wis. ), from the Committee on
Public Lands. reported back the bill for the relief
of certain friendly Indians, with two amendments,
a.td moved that they be printed, which was so
ordered. -
The Army Appropriation bill was received from
the House, with amendments, and, on motion of
Fessenden, refecred to the Committee on Fi
nance and ordered to be printed.
The bill to provide.rt national currency was then
presented to the Senate by the Chair as reported
from the Committee of the Whole.
- Mr. Davis (Ky. ), by unanimous consent, intro
duced an amendment preventing associations eras,
ted under the act from - holding real estate for a
longer period than five years. Adopted.
Mr. Davis offered an amendment atter the 31st
section, to read :
"That every - association doing business under
this aet six months after the rebellion' shall be
crushed and, the authority of the government re
stored, be required to redeem with gold and silver
their notes in circulation at their several offices."
Mr. Davis said he was no friend of the present
measure in any form; but as the bill was to become
a law, it should be male as unobjectionable as
possible. He thought his amendment of the most
vital importance. There never was a wholly com
mercial country on the face of the earth that re
tained for a considerable time an irredeemable
paper currency. The universal practice, by the
inexorable rule of tho world, was gold and silver.
Congress should not change the law of the world.
The sooner this present measure was stamped as a
temporary expedient, to pass away on the reetora
don of peace and tranquillity, and the laws, of
money . that have regulated the world for eighteen
centuries should be resumed, the better for tne' Go
vernment.
Mr. Johnson (Md.) did not deny that this whole
measure was one of expediency. No one could in
dicate the day when the rebellion would be sub.
.deed. As long as the war lasted we could not re
turn to specie payments. The banks established
under this bill could not be expected, in six months
after the suppression of the rebellion, to redeem
their enormous issue in specie without great finan
cial curtailment and embarrassment. We should
be very cautions in fixing a period for the resump
tion of specie payments.
The amendment was rejected. •
Mr. Fessenden reported from the Finance Cont.
inittee the House bill appropriating 62.5,000, 000 for.
the pay of volunteers called out for one hundred
days, with recommendation that it be passed.
Mr. Hale opposed the measure as unwise.
While he would seep the public faith with every
man called out by the Government, he thought
this resolution eminently unwise:
Mr. Fessenden said that whatever might be his
individual opinions of the wisdom of the call, they
- had been offered and accepted by the Commander.
in -Chief, and he_ should vote to appropriate the
amount required.
Nr. Henderson said he would vote any amount
of money to pay troopi called out for a longer pe
riod, but he dui not think the present bill of any
account; in fact it was a perfect humbug. These
men could not be drilled in the time for which they
are called out.
nr. Grimes inquired how long the• men who
fought at Wilson's creek had been drilled?
Mr. Henderson said, that so far as the Missonri
troops were concerned, they were mustered into
the service in August, 1861. but they had been
drilled for a" number of years previously. For
himself he was opposed to calling out a mob.
Mr. Sherman (Ohio) said there could be no doubt
of the President' a authority under,the existing law
to call out these troops, and whatever might be
our opinion as to the wisdom of the call, we should
vote the approp, lotion.
Alr. Carlisle (Va.) did not think it was entirely
respectful on the part of the. President to have
slighted Congress in not having indicated his iik t
tentionto call out these troops for one handral
days. This proposed action places the Treasury
of the United States directly under the control of
the Presideat and we sit here merely to vote mon
ey to carry out, and not to determine upon meas.
ores The sum proposed would not itself cover
the cost. Besides this, the men were to be taken
at a time when labor wilt of more value to the
county than any service they would render in the
field in their short term of service:
Mr. Wilson (Mass.) bad expressed to the Secre
tary of War his opinion that this offer of the West
ern governments ought not to be accepted. The
Prei4dent, however ' with the sanction of law hav
ing the power and having exercised it, he should
vote fer it r He was m favor of calling out the
tro• ps for a longer-period.
Mr. Henderson , inquired if the President had
given a a ritten or mere verbal acceptance, of the
offer of the Western governors. .
Mr. 'Wilson understood it- to have been an ofd
'dal acceptance by the President; advised by and
approved of by Lieutenant-General, Grant, and
the draft of the bill before us was enclosed In a
letter tt , the Chairman of- the Military Committee
of both Houses. The mode of this call was proper
enough, though many of us doubt the wisdom of
it. He vo ed for the measure, and put the re
sponsibility where it properly belongs—on the
President.
Mr. Clark said the great point was whether this
call, having the approval of the Executive. after
consultation with the commander of the army,
should not now be sanctioned by the Senate; for
one he was not willing to say so. WheAtnis great
campaign was about to commence, and when we
needeo men, and the Governors of States offered
them, be wanted to know what Senator would re
fuse them, or prevent their rallying to our stand
ard. lie, for one, would' - be willing to take this
responsibility.
Mr. Fessenden did not think we should raise
trivial objections in the present emergency. We
certainly had the power to make the appropria•
lion, whatever might or might not be the Wisdom
of the object which it was designed toTorward
He was not a military man, and yielded his judg
ment to. those who were, or were presumed to be
such.
Mr. Johnson opposed the measure. He would
inquire why the Governors of other States had not
been consulted? Was the opinion of able general
officers in the service :asked before the acceptance
of this offer? If we have heretofore passeet laws
conferring the power an the President to accept
these troops, then in good faith we were bound VI
support him He tookthe view that we were ander
no such obligation, and felt bound to vote against
the nill.
Mr. Windom called attention to the law of ISM,
which clearly gave authority to the President to
call for the militia in particular emergencies.
Par. Connees - frequently gave 'votes in fa - vor of
essares when be had doubts as to their pro
priety and wisdom, because in our present trou
bles be felt it his duty to do so. Tne measure be.
fore us did not receive the concurrence of his ju. ig
meat, and be should vote against it. This measure
propose that a hundred thousand men should be
mustered in - for one hundred days, at_an expense
of $25, ben, Oen, to be doubled and qumircipled. The
first knowledge he had of this m.aetire came to him
from the public press.- It was said these Governors
would call upon the President with their offer,
and the next announcement was the President had
accepted it:
Who authorized these Governors to regulate the
-method of Carrying on the war? Was not this the
function of the President and his cabinet? If the
President wanted addittonal men, why, in Gol's
name, Hid he not call tor tnem to the extent of five
hundred thonsat d men for two or three years, or
for the war, and thus inspire_ tue .nattull instead of
- triffing - with it and mortifying its tefriper?
this as a friend, than whom no truer could
Itor found, the Admiuistradon.
Mr. Limp defended the acceptance of the
t t loops 'offered by , the Western Governors, and their
proclamations calling theui out expressly state
that their action had co ceddr.seinent from the
President. For nimself, he Leas as willing as any
one to ad - vocate astringent cOuseri p Lion law. -
N r. Conies offered an amendment.giving the
President power. to continue 'Ott? aervice of these

which was ft j•acted —ye is ti, nays

HOUSE OF REPRES;CNTATIVEB
The House passed the bill appropriating over-a
million dollars to. indemnify the citizens of Min
nesota, for losses sustained by the depredations
committed by Sioui. Indians in that State, the
amount- i t:tell:lg in aCcordance with the report of the
commission on that subject • .
It also passed the Senate bill, appropriating two
hundred and twenty three 'thousand dollars to
enable refugee Indians in Kansas to return to [heir
homes in the Cherokee country, and for other re
lief; and the House passed the bill for the relief of
the Weas and other Indians, making appropria
tion to reimburse them for losses by the ab
straction of their bonds from the Interior Depart
ment.
Mr. Windom (Minn.), who had reported the
preceding bills from the Committee on Indian Af•
laire, also, reported one for the benefit and better
management of the Indians. It was passed, and
provides that it shall be lawful for the President
to remove.any tribe or tribes to any of tile public
reservations, as he may deem necessary and proper,
and take measures for stimulating them to habits
of industry. •
The House went into Committee' of the Whole,
Mr Blame (Me ) in the Chair, and considered
sundry bills, which, when the committee rose,
were passed, namely :
A bill providing for the removal of certain stray
bands of _lndians from Wisconsin.
A bill authorizing the President to negotiate with
the Indians of middle. Oregon for the relinquish.
ment of lands belonging to them by treaty.
A bill for the extinguishment of Indian titles to
lands in Utah suitable for agricultural and mineral
purposes. _
Mr. Washburrie (11l ) Introduced a joint resolu
tion that the staff officers of the Lieutenant-General
shall be entitled to receive the same pay, emolu
ments and, allover ces as the staff officers of the
same grade on the staff of corps commanders, to
take effect from the day of appointment on the staff
of the Lienienant-G eneral.
Mr. Washburne said he had a letter Which, if
desired, he would have read in explanation, from
Lieutenant-General Grant. But nobody desired
it to be read, and the House immediately, passed
the resolution.
The House, after a debate, concurred in the
Senate's amendments to the House's Minnesota
Lands and Railroad bill, and then took a recess
till seven o' clock.

livening Session.—The bill to guarantee republi
cut governments to States subverted or over
thrown by the -rebellion, being under considera
tion,
Mr. Longyear (Mich.) argued that a State is the
people united in one body or community for the
purpose of government. Sovereignty is an attn
buts of government. Primarily sovereignty is in
the people. States are erected through the forms
of government. These forms become living bodies
by virtue of the sovereignty imparted to them by
the people. The United States government is the
supreme Slate to which all the people owe pig.-
mars allegiance.
When a State of the Union becomes subversive
of the ends for which.it was created, or seeks by.
virtue of the sovereignty with which it has been ,
invested, to bring the people in conflict with the
superior sovereignty to whibh they owe primary
allegiance, or when such State government be-
Comte abrOgated or destroyed by any means, the
sovereignty with which it was invested retttras to
the people to be exercised by them. de novo. and
such State ceases to exiet as a State of the Union.
This contest is war, and all the rules of war at.
tacit, among w:.lch is the right of the conqueror to
dictate to the conquered the form of government
they phall adopt. Ttie States, in their corporate
capacity. may be treated as foreign enemies; but
the people, in respect to their allegiance to the na
tional government, must be considered and treated
as domestic enemies.
lidr. Donnelly (Minn.) said that the great ques
tion involved in the solution of the question of re
construction was the safety`of the nation, and that
everythinsr mast be made to give way to this; that
the close of the war would simply restore us to the.
condition of affairs out of which 1. ,, e war arose,
and that we must change that cond,-,on by the ex
trication of slavery, or we would have a series of
w-rs and rebellions. The President's amnesty
proclamation did not go far enough, and it was
the duty of Congress to supply that deflcto.ncy
The safety of the country could not be permitted
to rest solely on the oaths of allegiance as the
conscience of the rebels justified them in co aana
ling perjury against the nation. It was the duty
of the North to regenerate the South, and compel
freedom of speech, freedom of press and universal
education emrywhere. These measures were rt
quired by air own safety, and we could n t per
mit tbe Southern people to return to the social
condition which prevailed in the South before the
war.
He further showed the importance of the Union
to the West, and argued tbat the West would con
tinue to insist upon the unity of the nation in
spite of all disasters and disheartments, and that
it was the right and necessity of the West to
reach the, sea in every direction over kindred tern
tory.
litr. Dawson (Pa.), was opposed to the bill under
Consideration. It was, proposed at a time when we
have not the power, even if we had the right, to
recognize a single State. The States had been
treated as if they had no reserved rights. All
State constitutions had been trampelod upon and
placed at the met cy of the war power. A solemn
act had been pazsed to protect the military agents
against any crime, they may think proper to cont.
mit. The last vestige of State rights and the pro
tection of citizens, together with all other powers,
are sought to be centralized in the general govern
ment. This he was not :prepared to sanction by
his vote. The bill was intended to Legalize and
perpetuate the unconstitutional prectamations of
the President. It had been said that slavery.must
be eradicated in order to preserve permanent peace,
but thi.s was the cry of unrelenting and cruel
fanaticism. It was an effort on the part of the
strong to justify their attack on the weak.
The only reconstruction there ever can be is to
spread the kindly influences of the old Constitu
tion over all the land. He did not justify secession,
which was brought abont , by foolish men, who
di servo punishment; and who preferred tneir own
wicked projects to the welfare of the country. He
believed - there were good men enough North and
South to overwhelm both the abolitionists and se
cessionists, and once more restore the glorious old
Union. The existing usurpation of a monstrous
mil tary power should be removed. There dos
not exist a more despotic .governmerit than this on
earth, and Abraham Lincoln: is not merely a despot
in name but in fact.
r * Hr. Stevens (Pa ) repeated the points heretofore
made by him, namely, that the rebels were entitled
to no rights under the Constitution 'and the laws,
and could invoke the aid of neither in their behalf;
that they were to be treated during the war as
belligerents, according 'to the laws of war and
nature • that they could claim no other rights than
those of foreign nations with whom-We are at war,
and ore subjected to all. the liabilities of foreign
belligerents ; that their real and personal pr iperty
maybe taken to pay the_ expenses of the war and
to relieve the wounded soldiers and families of the
fallen. While the innocent should , be spared, the
morally and politically guilty should be punished.
He proceeded to reply to the attacks which had
been made upon these positions, arguing that,
from the crimes of the belligerents, we are justified
in exacting the extreme demands of war.
The people are the absolute sovereigns, and
there is no other government independent of theie
sovereigns. When they make an unjust war all
their property, bcitti public and private is subject
to forfeiture. The contederate States are a rapnb
lie, however ,
bad may be the sovereigns, and speak
for the entire,people This view he Mu ztrated,
and said to allow them to return with their property
untouched would berankinjiistice tothe loyal men. ,
if, as has been contended, they are in the Union,
where are their repre , :entatives l We are making
war upon them for going out of the Union, withmt
law- and they sb ou'd n.ver again be received into
it until they repent and are re-baptized into the
National'Union;
In the bourse of bie remarks he alluded 'o the re.
dent eveeeli of Mr. 'Blair (Mo.), and to that gentle.
nmn as stealing the mantle of the President and
- ,labhing the fi wilds of the President n the latter's
I.llllll`. 11 te (Mr. Stevens) could live to see the
hind no more true by the foot of a. slave, he would
be content with any lot. • •
Akr. t=tronse (Pe . ) said that free and - voluntary

"That ibis war was :lot waged tir purpfses cf

withstanding all this they were told by the stippn .
diary Swiss guards of the Administration that all is
well aud their) was plenty of money. •
All hopes of pe.t ce were dispelled so long as th
ae.ministralion shall adhere to its present policy.
We cannot subdue eight millions of people and
hold them in subjugation. In order to be success
ful, the administration must retrace its steps. tilid
President Lincoln divest himself of the fallacy
that he is the government. The Democratic party
is the only organization for restoring the seceded
States to their former status, ' in order to- secure a
snore pellet t Union..•
The berifocrats were opposed to the shedding of
blood in the ellen to raise the negro to the - equa
lity of the white man,. and gratify the abolitionist
of New England and their brother fanatics of old
England. While be bated secession he - could not,
shut his eyes to the fact that the constant agitation
of slavery in the North is the primary cause' of the
War, and secession the consequence.
lie repeated that the war is the result of aboli
tionism, and its object is the extinction of slavery
and the extermination of the whites, with the ne
gross fur vassals to the brood of Vandals and
Goths,created under the Confiscation act. Unless
we accompany the sword With the olive branch,
we will never have the-Union.
Idr thaven (Ind.) briefly stated his views
The Democratic party, whose principles he en
dorsed, had inscribed up..n its banners "The 0.,u
-siltution and the Union." When passion and
prejudice havorun th• it course, and not till then.
will we realize in their vast extent the blunders
which have been committed.
This cruel war. would have been ended before
now if the abundant means furnished had been
honestly and wisely applied, audit' the Adminis
trillion bad rigidly antlered to the policy avowe
at the beginning of the struggle. Fanaticism rules
and we must drink the hi , ter cup. By changing
our policy the Administration has divided the
North and prated the South. He arraigned the Re
publican party, whom he character zed as aboli•
lion fanatics, for breach of promise asd faith; and
among other things charged that McClellan was
removed from command because he was consor
t:ye and against the radical negro policy. :feats
instead of victories had resulted, because of folly
and ambition-for political ends.
At half.past ten the House adjourned.
THE BLAIB CASE MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT.
&he followit gmetsage and accompanying docu
ments relative to the case of F. P. Blair, were
sent to the House of Representatives:
To the Honorable House of Representatives: Incom
pliance with the requect contained in your resolu
tion of the •29tb. nit., a copy of which is here with
etunked, I have the honor to transmit the fol
lowing :
EX:ECIITIVI: MANSION. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.
Hen. Montg. mcry Blair —Ur DEA Sur.: Some day's
ago I understeod 'you to say tnat your brother,
General Frank P. I9lair, desires to be guide I by
my wish as to whether he will occupy his seat in
Congress, or remain in the held
hly wish, then, is compounded of whet I believe
will be best for the country anti best for him, and
it is that he will come here and put his military
commission in my hands, take his seat, go anto
caucus with our friends, abide the nominations,
help elect the nominees, end thus at d to organize a
House of Representatives which will really sup
port the government in the war. It the resultshall
be the election of himself as Speaker, let him serve
in that position ; If not, let him retake his commis
sion and return to the army. For the country this
wilt teal a dangerous schism. For him it will re.
lieve from'a dangerous position or a misunder
standing, as I think he is in dancer of being per
manently separated from those with whom only
he can ever have a real sympathy, the sincere op
ponents of slavery. It will be amistaltelf he shall
allow the provocations offered him by insincere
time-servers to drive him from the house of his
own buitchng.
He is young yet. He has abundant talents.
Quite enough to occupy all his time, without de
voting any to temper. He is rising in military
skill and usefulness. His recent appointment to
the command of a corps by one so competent to
judge as Gen. Sherman proves this. On that line
he can serve both the country and himself more
profitably than he could as a member of Congress
upon the floor. The foregoing is what I would
say if Frank Blair were my bother instead of
Sonia. d. LINCOLN.
The accompanying - documents refer to General
Schenck'e resignation as the Commander of the.
Middle Department; to Mr. Blair's military resit::
nation, and to the withdrawal of that resignation
