ei.tzvaxF..-The message of the PreaMent was - read.
'Mr. Cowan then, called for the reading of a report
'made to the President by. General Grant concern
ing his late visttto the Mouth. (len. Grant's reportwas
read. ,
Mr. Sumner="l wish to Make one remark with refe
rence to the business befbre the Senate. I wish to know
wi.ether the report of.Major-General Carl Schurz is
texed to the message of the President?"
~ilr. Foster, in the chair-" The Chair understands
Mr. Sumner--,nhen I think it had bet terbe read."
Several a enatorn-"It is too long." -
Mr. Sumner-,t`,At any rate we can begin it. It is a
very important document.- The senate will remember
that a nen the report WAS made of the condition of at
fairs in Kansas. every wOrci was read at the desa; now
the question involved is much more important. We
'have a message froth the rrestdent which is like the
whitewashing message of Franklin Pierce, with re
gard to the atrocities in Kansas. I think the Senate
had better listen r.. the report of General Schurz on
this in/portant subject."
Mr. Johnsen (Met.) said he was surprised to hear the
Senator from Massachusetts cnaracterize the message
as an attempt to whitewash. There was no white
washing about it. it was a fair and clear statement of
facts called for by. the Senate. He thought the report
of Gs neral schurz had better be printed, together with
the other documents, The reading of Gen. Schurz :a
report was commenced, but the clerk had not , pro.
eeeded far, whet
Mr. Sherman moved that the further reading be dis
pesSed Wids, sad that the report be printed.
Mr. Sumner-1 shall not object to that, if the Sena
tor from Ohio thinks it is proper that we Should on
this important occasion dispense with the reading. I
thiuk the Senate could not listen to anything of, more
importance than that accurate and authentic report
regarding-the actual condition of things in these
states. Here is an eminent citizen, lately a
,major
general in the army of the United States, sent on a
special mission by the Preaiaent to visit these States
and report upon their condition. se. has made his
visit, ;lot hastily, like General Grant, for instance, or
some other officers or -citizens, but a visit occupying
time and extending through the different States, an/
he has recorded the results in an elaborate document.
Now, sir, if the question were a trivial one, if it were
a:transitory question, I would think, with the Senator
from Ohio, that it had better not be read. If the Sena.
tem insists upon his motion I shall not object.
Mr. Sherman (Ohio) had no douot that tae report o
General Schurz was elaborate, able and interesting.
He would much prefer to read it, howeVer,rather. tha
hear it read where there was confusion and noise as in
• •
the Senate Chamber. 'He would say. also, it was unu
sual to read such documents. No document was usu
ally read to the Sedate except the message of the Pre
sident of the 'United States. Es - en the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury.full of information of para
mount import sued to the country, and giVing views
affecting thegreat financial interests of the wuncry.
was not read but ordered to,be printed. If the practice
of reading all documents seat to the Senate were to
prevail, there would be no time for business.
Mr. Doolittle (Wis.}—The Senator from Massachu
setts gave expression to one remark which he ought
it seems to me, injustice to himself, to qualify, lf not
altogether to retract. Speaking of this message, just
received from the President, he said it was like the
whitewashing message of Franklin Pierce to cover up
the] transactions in hansas, and that affairs in there
States south to be covered np and whitewashed by the
message of the Presideut, were much worse than the
affairs in Kansas: Now, Mr. President, I think tae
Senator from Massachusetts must have let fall that
expression without giving•it sufficient thought. I can
not believe that the Senator occupying the nigh posi
tion' be does, representing the great State ne does,
wishes to be understood as stating here in the Senate,
and to the country, that this m,asege just reeetved
from the President is a whitewashing message, seeking
to cover up or conceal certain transactions—as a state
of tidngs infinitely worsq than toe transactious it
Kansas. that terrible affair which was the beginning
of all our woei—a civil war itself, the: prelude to the
great war from which we have juts emerged. I be
lieve, sir, that the honorable Senator from Massachu•
sena will at least qualify, if be dues not wholly retract
this strong expression.
Mr. Sumner—l have nothing to qualify, nothing to
modify, nothing to retract. In former days there was
but one Kansas to suffer illegal power. now there are
eleven such suffering only as one suffered. There
fore, sir, as eleven are mote than one, SU is the enor
mity of the present time more than the enormity or
the days of Frank lin pierce.
Mr,Dixon (Conn.)—The senator from Massachusetts
says the enormities in the States lamly in rebellion are
greater than those of .Kansas in former days. I beg to
remind that Senator that that is not precisely the ques•
tion raised by tlieSeriator from Wisconsin. There is no
question here as to the misconduct o fully body in Kansas
or in the Southern States. The charge has been directly
made to the senate that the President has sent in a
whitewashed report with regard to these enormities.
Now, sir I cannot pass that in silence. What is a
whitewashed repore! It is a report intended to cover
up by falsehood and mistatements certain facts. That
is a whitewashed report? Now, sir, as a friend of the
President- and I process no ezedislve or pecUliar
friendship for him—l cannot Sit quietly and listen in
silence to such charges. I sustain the policy of the
President. as I understand it, not because it is toe
President's policy, but because it is right. I believe i s
the truth of the statements he has made, and although
he needs no cefence, I cannot suffer such charges to
go to the country without a protest.
Mr. Doolittle—Whether the rresident's policy he
right or not, the charge of the Senator from tiassa
chusetts does not go to settle that question at aIL
the Senator from Massachusetts differs from him and
believes him to be wrong, that is one thin g . He has a
perfect right to do so. But, Mr. President, he goes fur
ther. ale charges upon tne President of the United
States falsehood, in substance. by saying his message
is a whitewashing report. He charges him with a
want of truth, a wadi, of patriotism. What else can
we infer from his remarks? It is that which pained
me. I was not pained because the honorable Senator
differed from the President. I knew he diffeTed from
the President on this question.
But I was very mhch chagrined to hear that Senator.
as 1 stoeld be to bear any other Senator ou the dour of
the Senate question the integrity and the patriotism of
the Preaidett, however much he might disagree in
opinion. I had supposed that we all, every member of
this bony, had full faith in the good intentions of the
Preilident, in his Integrity and his love of truth. If he
has specially displayed any character in this struggle,
it is. that uncompromising love of truth, love of
country and love of Union which has halide him sacrl
lice and endanger all he had during the snuggle in the
South, and which has aaways characterized him as a
man.
It was not that the honorable Senator questioned the
propriety of the policy recommended by him; but be
cause he made use of that remark that it was a white
washing message, intended to cover up some Infamy
behind; that, I confess, sir, mined me exceedingly
and I was none tne less pained that after having Galled
his attention to it, he should rse and say th he bad
nothing to modify, nothing to qualify, nothing to re
tract. 14:Lave said all, perhaps more, than 1 ougbt to
have sal. rebel] not go into any diccussion of these
matters at the present time,
Mr. Sumner—l am sorry that I have given pain to
any honorable friend. I certainly did not intend to do
.so.• Why szggest that the question has been raised as
to the policy of the Presidentik I have raised no such
• question, and have expressed ho opinion in regard to
it. The Senator from Wisconsin dwells on that point,
and reminds the Senate that the policy of the Pres'.
dent was not in question. I knew It was not in ques
tion, and, therefore. I expressed no opinion on it, for
when I speak in this body 1 try to speak directly to the
question. There was then no question directly before
the 'Senate on the policy of the President. Had there
been I should have been ready. to meet it, as at this
proper time I shall meet it ftthy, frankly and unequi
vocally, I trust, ss becomes a member of this body. The
only question was on the character of the document
read, and that I characterized compendiously as a
whitewashing document. .11,ty nonorable friends rose,
one after the other. and like two lexicographers pro
ceeded to give a deft:alert of the word whiteivatheri.
Ido not accept these definitions. I intended no such
me ring as either the Senator from Connecticut or
theHenator from Wisconsin has attempted to give. I
have no reflection 'to make on the patriotism or the
truth of the President el the United States. Never in
andpublic or in private have I mac e spokech reflection,
Ido not egln now. Wlten I I spuke of a
-document that had been read at the dtsk, and I
characterized it as I thought it ought to be charac
terized. My memory goes back to this Chamber
further then that of many I see about me.
I remember that other scene when a whitewashing
message did come into this oody from Fraffklin Pierce'.
We,all, at that time, cane° it a whitewashing report.
I au not aware that any one then on the other side
undertook to do what my honorable friends from Wis•
gonsin anti Connect cut have undertaken to do. We
all felt tken that Mr. Pence's message 'was 'a white-
Washmg . document. I simply undertook to day, atter
hearing the document read at the desk, to characterize
it as the pw riotic party of ISA characterized the mes
sage of Franklin Pierce.
- Mr. DiAn—l am glad to hear the disclaimer now
made by the Senator frdna MassachusettS, although he
declared he bad no explanation to make and nothing'
to retract.' He now nays he did not use the word iu
the sense in which it is always understood. Very
well. Ifhe thinksthe word whitewashing a proper term
to apply to the message of the Presiaent and means
nothing by it, am content to allow him to give his
own definition. I had understood the word to
mean what I have indicated; and what the common
ease of most men understood by it, but as the Senator
is skilled in lexicography, I will not object to his Ap
plying his own 'definition to the term generally con-'
sidered so offensive.
Mr. Trumbull (Ill) rose to ask that this debate
cease. It was not his province to criticise or remark
upon the questions dt opinion which Senators had
thought proper to indulge in, but it did seem to him)
that a controversy nad. arisen which was not calcu
lated for the public interest or welfare.
The question was then stated by the Chair to be on
the motion of Mr. Sherman to print the report of hen.
Schutz with the other documents,
- It was carried.
Mr. Wade (Ohio) presented a resolution' calling for
the report of Gen. lioward on the condition of the
freedmen, whichwat adopted.
Mr. Coiiran rose to withdraw his objection to Mr.
Anthony's resolution to refer all papers on the subject
of the representation of States'lately in rebellion to the
special committee of fifteen, and the Chair stated that
the objection being withdrawn, the resolutionmight be
considered.. -
Before the question on the adoption`of the resolution
was put, the following resolution was offered by Mn
Sprague, and agreed to.
Itesoised, the House coacurring, That the Committee
on Manufactures of the respective Houses inquire if
the tax from the internal revenue act upon the pro-.
-.ducts Of the domestic manufactures is greater tnan
the duty, premium on gold, expenses of exchange
and transportation upon similar products imported;
and if thereby the foreign product is entered for
consumption upon more favorable terms than the
domestic product, to report a temedy by bill or other
wise.
.
.The: Senate them went into Executive session:and
soon.after adiourced. •
-Novas —Mr: Farnsworth's resolutions in reference
to Mr.Narris were passed.
On motion of-Mr. Banks (Mass), a resolution was
passed instructing the:Committee on Military and eta
vaPAffairs to report whether aoy change in the system
of education at the Military Academy at We3t Point
and. the Naval Academy at At.napol is is expedient or
necessary. and; also as r
establishinOr - aiding in
the establishment of Military ancr - navat schools in
each of the'several States, ia order to provide more;

Mr. Washburne (I1L) said he was instructed by the
Committee on Commerce to report the following:
IWicretts, The Constitution ot - tbe United titatos con-'
. , . .. .
fete on Congress, in express to • „the
it power to rev
lateepmeree among the (ley, :1 States. to eatablish
potitroads, to raise and support a sties; therefore, . .
ResoWedi - By the Senate and- House or. Represents
tives Mlle united States in Congress assembled; that
every railroad company in the [United states, whose
bridges
roads are operated by steam, tit ir successes and as.
signs, be and are hereby authorizedto carry upon and
over Reconnections, boats, . and ferries. all pas
sengers. troops. governmen t tamp ies, mails. freight and
property, on their way from any tate to another State,
and to receive compensation therefor.
Mr. O'Neil ((Pa) appealed to Ur. Washburne not to
press his bill to a vote, but refer it to the Committee on
.the Judiciary, as the bill involved matiy questions of
magnitude to the county, and also of constitutional
law. Let it go over the holidays, in order to give full
time for exao,ination.
- - .
Mr. Washburne replied that he was a little sur
prised that the gentleman should distrust the legal
ability of the Committee on Commerce. The Judt•
• ciary.Comhilttee during the last Congress-reported the
bill introdticed chic morning and ou May 11, 1.141. It
was passeti.!. , He knew of nu - railroad interest which
could control the action of this House. It was a trues
. tion as to whether Congress has the right to provide ;
free intercourse among the several States. a o pas
sage in the President's message was more approved
than this. lithe House oeslred d scussion on the bill
they must vote down the previous question.
Hr. Garfield, (Ohio,) said he introduced a similar
bill early in the last session, which was a plain dacha
ration that congress has the right to regulate com•
merce among the States. This was clearly within the
scope of Congress. Re supposed the House had
already sufficient information to enable them to act
upon it intelligently, and therefore he hoped there
would be no postponement •
Hon. John L. Thomas (Md.) did not rise for the
purpose of defending any railroad in Itaryland or
elsewhere. In the committee tie voted against re•
porting the bill. for the reason that it was not a ques
non proper for the Committee on Commerce, bat
shoulo be examined by the Committee on the Judi
ciary, as constitutional questions were involved in it.
He had as much right to be heard as any other mein.
ber; as this was a question teaching the interest of
his own State, and he proposed that the bill be made a
special order for Jan. 10.
Mr. Rogers (N. J.) said the main object of the bill
was to strike at fdaryland'and New Jets and to de
prive a chartered company of New Jersey of a privi
lege granted fifty or slaty years since, for the benefit
or another company by way of the coast. Loyal New
Jersey demanded that her rights should be respected.
Mr. - Kelley (Pa.) asked whether New Jersey came
back into the 'Union with his consent?
Hr. Rogers replied that the result of the late election
was without his consent.
Mr. Washburn said that New Jersey and Maryland
taxed passengers 'fifteen or twenty per cent., by which
the people had suffered long enough; but what was
now proposed was 21 general law, and applicable co au
the States.: There was nothing in the bill about Mary
land and New Jersey.
Mr. Rogers (N. J.) remarked that the charge made
by the gentlemen, thougn not so intended, were un
true and these he - wishtd to discuss, and place Mary
land and New Jersey in their true attitude.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed—yeas - 92 nays
02—and then passed,
On motion of Mr. Eliot (Mars.), a resolution was
adopted calling ou the Secretary of War to communt
c-ate to the House the present condition of theharbore
of the United States. where public works have been
built or directed to be built, what appropriation is re
quired for repairs on the sea coasts, lakes and naviga
ble rivers; &c.
Washburne (IlI), from the Select Committee on
the Rules, reported a new one for, the appointment of
a Committee on Mints and Mining, to consist of nine
members. This was agreed to.
The House resolution was returned from the Senate,
with an amendment proposing to adjourn ever due
holidays from the 21st of Decemuer to the 3d ofJanuary.
on motion of Mr. Washburne, the House non-con.
cum d in the amendment, and asked a committee of
conference, .
Mr. Dawson (Penna.) from the Committee on Rules,
rep rten a rule allowing earn member $75 for the tong,
and .t.t 5 for the short seastun, yor stationery. This was
agreed to—yeas 71, nays 25.
Mr. Wilson (Iowa) reported back the joint resolu
tion, with an amendment, so as to read as follows
Er if itesolv , d, by the senate and House of Repre
sentatives. two-thirds of each House coucsrring thereto:
That the ibllowing articles be proposed to the legisla
tures of the several States as no emendate t to
the Constitution which, when ratified be three
fourths df said legislatures, shall be valid to all intents
and purposes as a pat t of said Cons , ito,ion
Article I. No tax, duty, or imp...rt shall be laid. nor
shall any appropriation of money be made, either by
the United states, or any one thereof, for the purpose
of paying, either in whole or in parr, any debt con
tract or liability whatsoever Incurred. made or suffered
by any one or more of the States. or the people hereof,
for the purpose of aiding a rebellion against the Con
stitution and. laws or the United States.
liir.. Wilson said unless some members desired ex
planation he should MOW' the preVious question.
Mr. Rogers ( N.J.), said that while he subscribed to
that part of the billagainst the paymeut of the debt by
the Inited States. he was opposed to that branch
which forbade the payment of dents- by intik-Moat
qates. His opposition was on the broad ground that
three-fourths of the States could not lake away the
rights of the other fourth. If three-fourths of the
States could do what they now proposed, they could
deprive them:of the right to regulate their domestic
institutions and courts and local government.
Mr. Farnsworth (Ill) asked the gentleman whether
he thought it tight so tax a loyal people for a debt In.
curred in rebellion against the United States,
• Mr. Rogers replied—that, a butte should not be de
priced obthe right to pay any debt it saw proper t..)
provide for. The question was not whether the debt
was contracted in a righteous or an urjust cause. but
whether any State in ratifying the Constitution gave
up the right to control and say what debt it shall pay.
Mr. btevens (Penna.) int - mired of what use the
power of amendment was unless to change the con
ditions of States as well as lat. a.
Mr. Rogers replied that the framers of the Constitn
t ion gave the right to amend within its sphere, but
to change the Character Of the government and call it a
monarchy.
rex. auusseau (Ky.) inquired whether It was one of
he reserved lights of the states to break up the go
vernment.
r Rogers said he was not here to advocate or de
nounce the retie I debt; but to. defend the rights of the
stales, which were not to be Invaded in this way,
Mr. Shell aburger (Ohio) intioired whether it not
cempetent to amend the constntution SO as to propibit
the states from engaging in rebellions` If so, why then
was it not competent to provide char the States shall
not pay the expenve for carrying on a rebellihnS
Mr. Rogers admitted that it would be competent to
make such an amendment, but it would be unneces
Fury, for the reason that the spirit if not the letter of
the constitution already forbids the states from en
gaging in rebellion. In conclusion be said that on a
constitutional question of this magnitude the majority
nught it.ot to peas the bill, under the operation of the
revious question, without allowing time fur debate.
He appealed to the generosity and magnanimity of the
gentlemen to allow the minority to be heard.
Mr. Wilson replied that he was disposed to protect
minorities. and the minority in New Jersey which the
gentleman represented.
Mr. Rogers disclaimed that he representV a minority
in that State.
r. said he wished to give assurance of pre
teeth:in to any portion of the people of New Jersey who
might remove within the limits of the States latel in
rebellion,4lsat they should not be made liable for th
,pay nto nt of a debt incurred for the purpose of destroy
mg the government. He was in laver of protecting
the minority ib another matter, namely. against the
grasping Influence of the immense amount or money
require°, if the rebel debt was to be paid in joint cape,
city by the several States.
We had a full discussion of the general doctrine of
State rights during the lute Congress. and he believed
all the members of the -House concurred that the
frau. ers of the Constitution so made it that no State
had a right to secede from the Union. The govern
ment in the struggle just clOsed by force or arms,
affirmed the decree of the fathers of the government,
and not only this, but that no part of the peop/e,North
or South, should be called on to pay one dollar-for the
purpose of destroying the government of the 4 nited
states; and this was the sole proposition in the joint
resolution pending for the purpose of making it effec
tive. it was provided that the courts 'of the United
states shall have jurisdiction in al: cases arising tinder
or springing from It. They did not merely prohibit the
assumption of the debt. but provided an effectivr
remedy to_malte their citizeul secure. Be' believed
'he Houser was in proper temper to pass the rest
lotion. •
Dl r. Johnson (Ma.) said that se far as he understood,
his political irienus were not opposed to the-general
scope of the proposition, bat It was due that a measure
of this importance should be considered with a.proper
degree of gravity, and not hastily thrust through Ihe
"louse. lie could not see how the debts of a d r ead man
could be\paid wittiout the appointment of an adminis
trator. q toy had been obliged to hear remarks or au ,
explanatory character. This kind of legislation was
wrong. It was requiring a lit le too much Mask that
the mere representation of members be taken' how.
ever able the gerftlemen may be, without affording
time eyen to read the bill.
t.everal gentlemen suegested atnendilhenter so as to
leave no way open for escape, while others'aratited the
consideration of the measure postponed.
'k,kir. Wilson was disposed to let the question go over
till to-morrow, but this did not meet with general
fa'. or. so he insisted on the previous question, which
was recorded—yeas as. nays Su—and under its opera
tic', the fleet r.-eolution was passed, more than two
thirds voting therefor.
