    CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS
SENATE.—Mr. Morrill . (Me.), from the
Committee on the District of Columbia, re
ported favorably on the bill to regulate the
elective franchise in the District of Colum
, ,bia, with amendments—one of which modi
fies the privilege by-bestowing it on those
who shall be able to read the Constitution of
the United States in the English language
and write their. names. A new section is
inserted, prescribing a penalty of $5,000, and
imprisonment not exceeding one year, for
wilfully rejecting or refusing to receive the
vote of any person entitled to such right.
Mr. Sumner inquired of Mr. Morrill when
the Senate would act on the above bill.
Mr. Morrill replied—At the earliest possi
ble time, but probably not before the ad
journment of the House.
Mr. Sumner—l am very glad that my ex
celletit friend proposes to proceed to the
consideration of that measure at an early
day. I believe that the country requires
promptitude in that act of justice.
Mr. Davis (Ky. )—I, call the Senator to
order.
The Chair requested Mr. Davis to state his
point of order.
'Mr. Davis—l ask what question is pending
before the Senate?
The Chair staled ,that there was no distinct
question before the Senate, but that Mr.
Sumner was not transcending the usage of
the body in his remarks.
Mr. Davis—But, Mr. President, the Sena
tor, in his usual manner, was proceeding to
make a speech.
Mr. Sumner—l had only uttered one sen
tence, while the Senator from Kentucky
constantly utters many.
Mr. Anthony (R. I.), from the Committee
on Printing, reported a resolution for the
printing of 3,000 copies of the eulogies on the
late Senator Colamer, which was passed.
Mr. Cresswell (Md.) called up the House
resolution for adjournment and recess, and
moved that the Senate recede from its
amendment, which was to strike oat ,Wed
nesday and insert Thursday, and to strike
out January 9th and insert January 3d.
Mr. Fessenden called for the yeas and nays
on the question of receding, and the Senate
refused to recede by the following vote :

The Senate insisted on the amendments,
and agreed to a Committee of Conference.
Mr. Wilson called up the Senate bill to
maintain the freedoth of the inhabitants in
the States declared in insurrection and re
hellion by the proclamation of the President
of July 1, 1862. It abolishes a;1 laws, sta
tutes, acts, ordinances, rules and regulations
- which make inequalities in rights and im
munities on account of distinctions or dif
ferences of color, race or descent.
Mr. Sumner—When I think of what oc
cairred in this Chamber yesterday; when I
call to mind the attempt to whitewash the
unhappy condition of the rebel States, and
at this time to throw the mantle of official
oblivion over the sickening and heartrend
ing outrages where human rights are sac
rificed, and barbarism—rebel barbarism—
receives a new letter of license, I feel that I
ought to speak of nothing else to-day. Sir,
I stood here long ago, in the days of the
Kansas outrage, when a small community
was surrendered to the machinations of
slave masters, and now I stand here when,
alas, the immense region, with millions of
population, is surrendered to the machina
tions of slave masters. It belongs to Con
gress to arrest this fatal fury. Congress
must learn to be brave and to be just; but I
am not willing to be diverted from the pre
cise question before the Senate, although, in
considering it, I shall naturally and logically
be led to pass in review the condition of the
rebel States.
The Chair suggested that the question be
fore the Senate was on the motion to refer
the bill to the Judiciary Committee, and on
ibis motion a discussion of the merits of the
bill was not in order.
Mr. Sumnersaid that in a general question
of reference it had been the practice of the
Senate to admit discussion of general merits.
It was only when the question was between
several committees of reference that discus
sion was not in order.
Mr. Trumbull, suggested that Mr, Sams
ner be permitted to proceed, and no objec
tion was offered.
Mr. Sumner continued his remarks on
the bill before the Senate. All must agree,
he said, that it was an excellent measure.
It undertakes nothing more than the assu
rance of equality before the law, which it is
assumed is essential to carry forward and
maintain the proclamation of emancipation,
to which the National Government is
pledged. The words of the proclamation
no one can forget. It is that the slaves
shall, from this time henceforth, be free, and
the Executive, with the military and naval
authorities, shall maintain them in their
freedom. There is your pledge, which has
gone before the world. It goes wherever
the limits of your republic extend, and it is
as sacred as your national life. Wherever
that flag floats, and as long as this republic
. endures, that pledge is sacredly to be ob
served. How shall we see that that pledge.
is preserved? Is it to be committed to indi
viduals? Is it to be committed to States?
No, sir. The preservation of this pledge
must be by the National Government, which
made it, which gave freedom, which so
lemnly promised to maintain that freedom.
That, air, is the conclusion of reason; it is
also the conclusion of history. •
Mr. Sumner proceeded to quote from his
tory of emancipation in Russia to prove
that it was the duty of this country to main
tain the freedom of the emancipated slaves.
The bill did not go far enough. It ought to
include political equality, also; but this
would come up in another proposition.
Mr. Sumner then read a number of ex
tracts from the Southern correspondence of
th Boston Advertiser and other papers, and
from private letters received by him from
reliable parties in the South, to show the
disloyal sentiment of the Southern people,
and the cruelty with which the freedmen
are being treated in the lately rebellious
States. In conclusion, he called upon the
nate to pass the bill before the Senate, or
any Otil@r bill calculated to secure justice
for the freedmen.
Mr.Baulsbury (Del.) wished to make one
remark. There seemed to be an apprehen
sion in some quarters that the Democratic
party was again to come to power, and to.
come to power through the present Execu
tive; there was already an opposition party
sprang from the ranks of the Republicans.
He would say to the President that he ought
to stand firmly by his policy, and if he con
tinuned in that policy. two millions of faith
ful men in the North would support him,
although they did not vote for him; and
would welcome the contest whenever it
came.
Mr. Cowan (Pa.) was unwilling to let
Mr. Sumner's speech go to the country
without a protest, The statements read by
him from private letters were not impartial
nor unprejudiced. The cases referred to
were exceptional. Where one man out of
a thousand was cruel to negroes it was pub
lished; but there was nothing said about
the nine hundred and ninety-nine others
who treated the negroes properly-. Mr:
Cowan alluded to Mr. Sumner's charge of
whitewashing used against the President,
and defended the President against it. He
read extracts from the, message of yester
day, and expressed his belief in its fairness
and truth. Further - consideration of the
bill was postponed till to-morrow.
A message was received from,the House
announcing the death of Mr. Kellogg, a
member of the House from New Yolk,
Session.

Mr, Trumbull (HI.), from the Committee
of Conference on ; the subject of nfijourn
ment,•made a report for an' -adjournment
from Thurkday, 21st instant, to Friday, the
sth proximo. The report was agreed to
The Senate at 3.30 adjourned.
Houss..--Mr. Broomall (Pa.) offered a
resolution congratulating the country that
the anti-slavery amendment to the Consti
tution of the United States has been ratified
by three-fourths of the States, and is now a
law of the land.' It was referred to the
Committee on Reconstruction.
He also asked leave to introduce a reso
lution, which was objected to by Mr. John
son, his colleague, asserting that the ter
mination of the recent civil war has left the
lately usurped territory in the hands of the
conquering power, and without political
rights; that the political condition of - the
people in the late rebellious States must be
fixed by the supreme legislative power;
that the effect of the amnesty is to relieve
individuals of the punishment of crime, but
not to confer political rights; that Congress
should confer the necessary power to enable
them to form their own State governments,
but this cannot be done until the rights of
those among them always true to their
allegiance shall be protected, etc.
Mr. Morrill (Vt.), from the Committee on
Ways and Means, reported a bill author
izing the Secretary of the Treasury to ap
point assistant assessors of Internal Reve
nue. He stated that as the law first passed
it gave this power to the Secretary, but was
subsequently changed to relieve the Secre
tary of so great a burden as the appoint
ment of so many officers. The bill was
passed.
Mr. Dawes (Mass.), from the Committee
on Elections, reported, a resolution atforp
ing Mr. Kelso (Mo.), and Boyd, the con
testant of his seat, further time to take testi
mony, and it was passed.
On motion of Mr. Dawes (Mass.) it was
resolved that the Secretary of War be di
rected to communicate to the 'House the
record of testimony, sentence and action of
the court-martial which tried Benjamin G.
Harris, a member of this House from the
State of Maryland.
Mr. Banks (Mass.), from the Committee
on the Rules, reported an amendment
thereto, namely: That the reporters of the
official proceedings of the House, as pub
lished in the Globe by its order, shall be
recognized, and are hereby declared offi
cers of the House from the fourth of March
last for the purpose of reporting its pro
ceedings, and their oppointineut and re
moval shall be held subject to the approval
of the Speaker of the House.
- Mr. Banks said the amendment was re
ported with the unanimous approval of the
committee. It was intended only to assert
the privileges of this House, and not to
affect in any degree the relations between
this House and the publishers of the Globe.
Mr. Hale (N. Y.) respectfully submitted
that this was a question involving serious
points for consideration as to personal and
private rights under contract between em
ployers and employed, and therefore should
not be passed upon hastily.
Mr. Banks repeated that the amendment
merely referred to the privileges of the
House in the matter of admitting persons to
report the proceedings of the House. The
other question can be considered apart from
that now under debate.
M r. Bale understood the proprietors of the
Globe are contractors, aro therefore have
the right io employ reporters and discharge
them.
Mr. Banks replied that the amendment
did not involve the question of contract.
All the appropriations of the House for pro
curing the reporting are coupled with certain
conditions.
Mr. Morrill said that the reporters were
diligent and faithful, but the House required
the publishers of the Globe to furnish a
certain amount of work in a curtain time,
and as the House held them responsible
they should employ whom they please.
Mr. Banks, in reply to a remark by Mr.
Morrill, said neither the publishers of the
Globe nor the,reporters were consulted, be
cause the Committee on the Rules did not
consider-that private interests were affected
by the proposed amendment.
Mr. Baldwin (Mass.) was not prepared to
vote for it, for there may be a contract with
the Globe to procure a report of the proceed.
ings. -
The House refused to second the previous
question by a vote of 53 against 71.
On motion of Mr. Hale the subject was
then sent to the Committee on the Judiciary
with instructions to inquire and report
what, if any, relations exist between the
House and the proprietors of the Globe in
the way of a contract for reporting and pub
lishing the proceedings of the House.
Mr. Raymond (N. Y.) presented the certi
ficate to the House of Mr. Kyle, signed by
the Governor of Arkansas and attested by
the Secretary of State, with the great• seal
attached.
On motion it was referred to the Commit
tee on Reconstruction.
Mr. Alley (Mass.), from the Committee on.
the Post Office and Post Roads, reported a
bill to establish certain post routes, and it
was passed.
Mr. Boutwell (Mass.), from the Committee
on the Judiciary, reported a bill,vw•hich was
ordered-.to be printed and recommitted, to
incorporate the United States Mutual Pro
tection Homestead Company.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) introduced a bill to
double the pensions of those who were
made pensioners by the casualties of the
late war, to pay the damages done to loyal
men by the rebel government and rebel
raiders, and to enforce the confiscation laws
so as to pay the same out of the confiscated
property of the enemy. He moved that the
consideration of the bill be postponed till the
first Tuesday of February.
Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) objected to its post
ponement to a particular day.
Mr. Stevens said he had not asked to make
the bill a special order. He did not know
what the gentleman desired.
Mr. Brooks replied that he did not object
to the printing and reference, but he did not
want the House to give this bill a preference
over others by postponing it to a particular
day.
Mr. Stevens asked what committee the
gentleman thought it ought to bereferred to.
. Mr. Brooks replied, the Committee on
Reconstruction,
but
On motion of Mr. Stevens, it was referred
to the Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Union. He afterwards moved to re
consider the vote by which it was referred,
and this motion is now pending.
Mr. Eliot introduced a bill to limit the lia
bility of shipowners concerning maritime
liens, and for other purposes, which was re
ferred to the Committee on Commerce.
Mr, Strouse(Pa.) introduced a bill to estab
lish a Court in the northern`district of Penn
sylvania, which WAS referred to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Stevens presented the petition of
Judge Warmeth asking to be admitted to
the House as a delegate from the territory
ofLOuisiana, and purporting to be signed
by nineteen thousand voters. It was re
ferred, without debate, to the Committee on
Reconstruction. .
Mr. Lawrence (Ohio) submitted a series of
resolutions, which, on his motionoverelaid
on the table and ordered to be printed for
future action, namely: That public justice
and national security demand that, as soon
as it may be practicable, Jefferson Davis, a
representative man of tie rebellion, should
have a fair and impartial trial in the highest
appropriate civil court or tribunal of the

CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY,
The Land of this Company consists of 12 ACRIM
in Heck lenberg county, North Carolina miles from
the town of Charlotte, on:a branch of Sugar Creek,
which stream furnishes gook water power for grinding
the ores. This Mine was first opened in ISt9 by a man
named Canon. who worked it successfully for a num
ber of years. He died in the town of Charlotte, in
1:46, worth over half a million dollars.
Tao shafts have born sunk on . his prorerty, one of
them so feet, the other eio feet, on different veins,
averaging from two to three feet in thickness. which
veins still continue on down increa , hag in width and
richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can
e readily taken out at any time. Other veins have been
discovered on this property, and tested and proved to
be very rich In gold. The ores of this mine are known
as the brown ore, and very rich, yielding readily $lO
per bushel. This Ls believed to he one of the best and
most certain mines in the State. on account of the
abundance and quality of the ore, and ease in which
it is obtained and reduced. This property has been
worked by Major Z. A. Grier from IMO to the breaking
out of the war. This Company have purchased this
property, and Intend to erect machinery and put the
mines in immediate operation. The many advantages
of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada
can hardly he estimated. It is more readily reached,
and has abundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can
be worked all the year, and not, as in the case of Colo
redo and Nevada, be compelled to lie idle for three or
tour months in consequence of the severity of the
winter.
This mine having been worked for a long time,
proved to be a rich paying one. We do not, therefore.
have to incur the risk there is in an undevelopt d pro
perry, but can court on large and immediate returns
on the investments. Having an ore that readily yields
$lO per bushel, some estimate can be made of the
value of this property. With the present imperfect
system of mining In this locality, and absence of pro
per machinery, ten tons of this ore can be takes out
daily from every shaft opened. Estimating. say 15
bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be $1,503 from
one shaft, allowing $3OO per day for expenses. The net
product will be 81, 00 per day; counting 301 working
days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be $360,000,
which yield can be largely increased by extending the
works. This Is considered a very low estimate of the
capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that
locality. The Assayer of the United States Mint at
Charlotte, In speaking of this property, ETA It has few
equals in productiveness in that country, and with
proper management and machinery the above pro
duct can be doubled.
