CONGlittSO;---Muar smnoN. aLOBB OF YESTEDIDA:rB , PHOOHEDINGS. * SENATE.-16. Wits Oil. (Mass.) called up the Senate bill to restrict the expenses of 'collecting soldiers' , claims, making it a penal -offence, to -charge ,more than ten dollars for the collection, of; a soldier's claim- for ,back pay or bounty. - ;: ' Mr. Wilson explained that the bills had been amended in the Committee by making it applicable onlyto tlf.o, claims of soldiers. Officers, he said, were better' capable of themselves than soldiers; besides, many, officers had accounts to settle with the department, which might involve a good 'deal of labor. • Mr. Saulsbury (Del.) denied the right of Congress to regulate the compensation be-- tween, clients and attorneys, or between employers and employed. It might as well regulate the.rate of wages to be paid to dis-- •Charged soldieraT He moved the referenda 'of the pill to the Judiciary Committee. , Mri Wilson said the fees for collecting pensions were regulated_ by_ law, and why not the fees for collecting bounties and back _pay ? He had received a letter from , a' sol •dier who had been charged one handied and fifty dollars for collecting a claim of three hundred dellars,,and other, letterth.shcfwing that the windows and heirs of soldiers were being defrauded, in the collection of back Mr. Clark (R. L) did "net think - Mr. Wil eon's bill covered the whole subject. He apokenf the difficulty experienced by Sol (Hers cin collecting their claims from the agents after they have been ,paid by the Department. He thought The effect of the bill would be that claim agents would •undertake the collection of -no claims that 'were noteasily collectedi ' - Mr. Wilson said that the, objections urged by Mr. Clark, against the _present t bill might with equal propriety be applied to - the collection of clainfa;- bift thers:w„rts no trouble about pelisfolis, and there would be none against claims. r. Penclingthe,consideration of this =bill the morning hour 'expitedjand_ the -Chair an nounced that the bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau was before the -Senate, and that:Mt. Davis (Ky.) Was-enti tled to the floor. Mr. Davis spoke - against the bill. He objected to it because a majority of the :Senate excluded SenatorSfroin eleven StVes from their seats in - the Senate, for the pur pose of securing the passage of this and other unconstitutional. •• measures. The ineasurS,was unconstitutional in propos ing toinVest the TreeduierilS Bureau' - with judicial powers,. because it authorized the .President to assign to army .oilicers the ex ercise of-judicial powers because it broke -down the,-partition of the powers of the government made by the Constitution; because it deprived the citizens of the right of trial by jury in civil cases;' because it was a scheme devised to practise injustice and oppression upon the white - people of the late slave States for the,, benefit of the freed negroes, and tb engender strife between the two races; because it involved a profli gate, wasteful' and unnecessary expendi ture of the public treasure, and because it was one of the reckless and: unconstitu tional series of measures devised by the radical party to enable it to hold power and place. • Mr. Sherman ',Ohio) said the Governor of South Carolina had written a long letter on the: subject of . the section confirming land titles under- General Sherman's orders. The people of South Carolina, black or white, had no representation here, and he submitted whether the Senate had not bet ter postpone final "action until the letter re ferred to was laid before it. which would be to-morrow. _ Mr. Trumbull said the Senate could not alter or amend the bill now that it had been read three times, without a reconsideration .of votes, and perhaps a recommittal to the Committee. There was still an opportunity to amend the bill in the House, and he thought it had better be sent there as speedily as possible. If the letter of the Governor of South Carolina contained good reasons why the section referred to should not be_ adopted, it would be stricken out in the:House, and come back to the Senate so amended, ' ' , Mr. Johnson favored a postponement of the vote for the reason stated by Mr. Sher man. It may be, he said, that there are matters stated in the letter, of the Governor of South Carolina with 'which the Senate is not familiar. Mr. Trumbull said Mr. Johnson could move to reconsider the vote on the passage of the bill to-morrow. „ Mr. Johnson inquired if Mr. Trumbull would vote for a reconsideration to-morrow; as he was going to vote against the bill he could not do so. - • f Mr. Conness said he would'move a recon -sideration. Mr: .Saulsbury deinanded the yeas and mays on the _..passage_ Of the bill, and they were ordered. Yeas—Messrsi Anthony Brown, Chand ler, Clark, Conness,Cragin,Creswell,Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Foote, Foster,Grimes, Harris, Henderson, Howard, Howe,airk -wood, Lane (Ind.), "Lane (Ky.), Morgan, Morrill, Norton, Nye, Pollard, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman, Sprague, Stewart, Sum mer, Trumbull, Van •Winkle, Wade, Wil liams, Wilson, and Yates-37. Nays—Messrs. - Buckalew, Davis, Guthrie, Hendricks, Johnson, McDougall, Riddle, ,Saulsbury, Stockton and Wright—W. So the bill was passed. Mr. Davis moved to-amend the title of the bill, so as to name it a bill to appropriate a portion of the public lands, and some of the Southern States, and to authorize the Go-. Nernment of the United States to purchase _lands and supply farms j and build houses for the support of the free negroes, to invest - the Freedmen's Bureau' with unconstitu tional power to promote strife between the the two races, etc. The Chair(Mr. Foster)decidpd the amends anent out of order. Mr. Davis asked for the grounds upon - which this decision was made. The Chair said it was "so' inconsistent to pronounce a measure unconstitutiontd:afeer the Senate had.paesed it, to , pronounce it a measure to promote strife, etc., that it was -derogatory tel the . ;Senate, and therefore out -of order. - : ' - - - Mr. Davis did not believe it was for the 'Chair to deeide ilia question. • • • The Chair replied that it was in the power , of Mr. Davis to appeal from the decision the Chair. Mr. Davis said the decision,was so mani-• lestly-wrong that he would• not take an appeal. - • The bill passed provides : SEC. 1.

The bill named by Mr. 'Trurlibtdl was taken up, and the Senate; on motion of Mr. Dixon, went into. Executive 'session, and soon afteradjourned. ' , ' Housg.—The House resumed the conside ration of the' constitutional suffrage amertd- Mr. Eldridge (Wis.) said he was one of those who were opposed to this - amendment to the Constitution. He believed that this was' not ;the time, to'effect such a radical purPose, •land further, there were. States other than those now represented on this floor who were entitled to be heard. He then referred - to the hitherto' declared ob jects for which the war was prosecuted. It was to preserve the Union with all its dig nity and rights unimpaired, with a due THE DAILY! EVENING-13III:LETIN'i''P t ' regard to those 'Belonging to the'tieveral States. It was intended as the war platform of the country, ,and _on wbich, the : miscalled Tinian party gathered itapresentlicrwer and' strength. He maintainedthat these promises ought tole fulfilled... There' should le no • faith lessness, perfidy and disregard of the prin ciple enunciated, but ;gentlemen shtiuld hasten to make good theltr plighted faith. On the ground of , good faith, he demanded the Union of all the States, as opposed to the' theory of the gentleman from Pennsylvania,- Mr. Sturgis and others. - He insisted" that the insurgent States were not out of the - Ciller', and could 'not go outviithont sue cessful revolution. ,The rights of the States were riot destroyed, and - those who sought to - overthrow , the Government , have, in curried the penalty due to their conduct, hat not the vengeance of infuriated passion. The 'late rebellious States are net tole held in the grasp of despotic power, in order that the ascendency df the Republican party may be secured. - • " Mr.Strouse (1 3 a,) -expressed his surprise at the: extraordinary, manner that bills,and resoldtions to amend the Constitution„ - of this! importance, are pressed on the coast ; tration of the House. Such propositions t amend the organic law are brought in as if this was a State Legislature and the,Cons company stitution a railroad as l ingan amendment to the charter to build a siding or a,turnont. :Such - legislation to amend the Constitution was like patching an old coat, andvery soon the original 'fabric would be invisible on account of the numerous patches. It wouldfiefbe sanctioned by the people. The amendment was intended to affect ;the 'South, as aliens, foreigners and con -quered territory, moiler the law. of nations. If these be, Olna, ;whence ' was the necessity for the amendnient? But these States were not Cut of the Union, and the Northern States do not , desire such a change in the organic - law - , Tlito - se who have been elected. under the forms of law in the South, should be emitted hide to participate iri the pro ceedings so vitally affecting their interests. Give us a whole Union, , and not merely a portion of the States. Mr. Rigby (Cal.) said a very important proposition was- reported a -few days—ago by the chairman on reconstruction, cbn templating.an_antenclinent .to . the Constitu-. Lion' second only to that so recently passed. At the time it was reported that gentleman seemed to think the House .was ready to pass upon 'it - imniediately. lie had no doubt lie and all other-members of the com mittee were satisfied, truly and sincerely, that it was the best ..provision. which could be produced. To hint the objection rose at nonce that it might give construction to other portions of the Constitution. When Con c-rese could so express the amendment that.. it would not infringe on the powers of the Constitution, he would support it. For the tirsttime theattertopt was made to discrimi nate as to 'who - Should exercise the elective franehise. He believed, however, the propo sitiob could be so amended as to secure its passiige, and not intrench on other parts of • tie Constitution. He could not vote for the resolution ) in its present form, and with the proviso. Mr. Bingham (Ohio), a member of the committee on Reconstruction, advocated he resolution reported from it, and which he said was demanded by the changed con dition of the country. Unless the Congress, charged as it was, like the first Continental Congress, with the interests and liberties - of ,111, should perform the duty enjoined upon .t, and send to the people the neepssarY con stitutional amendments for the future safety of the republic, he apprehended men now within this hall would learn when it is too late, that the ballot in the hand of conspira tors was more dangerous to the republic 'ham the bayonet. - _ lithe resolution reported from the oom mimeo should not be passed, he should tremble for the future of his country. But was this all that was proposed to be done? Had gentlemen forgotten that the House the ether day, with singular unanimity, sent to the Senate an amendment to the 'Constitu tion, which was intended by the authority of the people to declare by organic law that 130tber the United States or any State of the Union shall ever assume or pay any debt or liability incurred in aid of the late rebel lion, or which shall hereafter be contracted or incurred Air such a purpose. Did not this suggest that the safety of the republic imperatively demanded not simply that the amendment should be passed, but That there should be an additional provision that no State in the Union should ever raise by tax ation on loyal men any money to pay tri bute or pensions for life to those who en lowed in and carried on the atrocious rebel doe ? And would it not be well further to amend so that no State should levy a tax to ,edemnify, in whole or in part, men in re bellion tbr losses or damages incurred by reason of their resistance to the government. As the Constitution stands there was no power to restrain taxation. for such pur poses. The joint committee of fifteen did ,tot consider that they had fully discharged ',heir duty by reporting this amendment. They have under consideration another original amendment to the Constitution, which looked to giving the power express to congress to enforce in behalf of every citizen. In every State and territory the rights which were granted to him from the beginning, tut which unhappily had been disregarded, -imply for the want of power in Congress to •r] force them. If the Committee should pre -,-ent such an amendment in fit and proper erms, it would, he thought, receive the netion of almost every gentleman' iu this douse. By the amendment pending, we cake but one step in the attainment of the nd to secure to each -State equal rights in 'he Union. The distinction of free and bond itizens no longer existed. Every slave by he act of emancipation became a free citi zen' or free person, and equal before the law withwilh every other citizen. lie argued that the point made by the ',pending proposed amendment to the Con . 4 tit utiOn was whether the originally declared etention of our fathers should he enforced cravenly surrendered when all are free by amendment aendment to the Constitution, re cently ratified, and whether a minority -hould disfranchise the majority of the citizens of a State. In further explanation ef nit) proposition he said it gave equal political power to'', every State in the Union, provided its requirements shall be ppeyeo. E(3 repeated, this amendment Would net, accomplish all i that was desired, but w ould be one step tow d the attainment of the end. No ques,tion f more importor ance could come before he House, save, tilhe Constitution shall also be amended 'a) a to'enforce the guaran, es in aid of this. sem. provision. Mr. Broomall - (Pe.) rose to indicate:an amendment which, he should offer, at the' proPerlime. At an early period in the ses- , stomhelproposed to apportion representa tives on the basis of the actual voters: ' lie was in favor of that principle now, but one was willing to waive his own,predi lections and,take that which would, nearest, alTreitCh to what he desired. ) He sent up .. to the clerk's• table, which was read; asube stitate be ifttended to offer, namely "That ; representation arid' direct, taxation, shall be, tqapOrtiOned.among the States which shall be in the 'Union; according to their ,respec,- rive/ numbers, counting the wh o le number of persons in such excluding Indians not taxed. Provickii, whenever the elective franchise shall, be denied by, the. Constition or laws of any State to any portion of male °citizens', above the. age of -tweiatymone-years; 'the same 'proportion shall be excluded from the ;basis of repyesentation. He , claimed that the iiropcisitied , thus amended would :rerobVepbjection's which had been urged against:thenriginid yesblution. • - Davis - (NeW 'York) said that this government was formed in the spirit of concession, and conflicting opirdons of all sections were reconciled; and he believed IL' ADELPHIA, , FRIDANi JAN that thiis ;spirit. shonld control, thepresent, deliberatipn. That ca great% ,existed, every One Conceded, becauSe there was an inequality of , ' 'representation. He ,would ask nothingfbrinniself,as a Northern man, which, it; he were a Southern man,he would rot assent to. for the sake of the Unien. They all ought to sacrifice something to in dividual and local prejudtces. He was ready, to support any proposition to effect the object, althougp it mightnot accomplish all he desired: Heexpressed the hope that the•resolution would be recommitted to the Committee, in order that some plan may be devised which will commend it, not only to gentlemen here, but to the judgment of the entire people of the'country. Mr. Ward (N. Y.) was not satisfied with the orginal proposition or with the amend ments proposed. The whitewashed traitors —with infernal ingenuity, would evade the object and still deprive of their rights those whom they have oppressed for so many yearp; therefore, he intended to offer an amendment that all persons who shall be deprived ,of the elective franchise in any State by reason of a tax or property i quali fication, or any other which was not n force on the first s of January, 1866, in any State where the same is applied,shall be excluded from the basis, of representation. In his opinion, :the States lately in rebellion have the rights only of the criminal who' pleads to the judge for , .mercy. It was the duty, of 'Union members of Congres's to inaugurate an amendmentbere which should remedy existing &Hs, and- if no other amendment could be agreed uponthanthe one reported by the Committee, he would adopt , it, but he hoped that the ,amendinent he had ~ sug gested would prevail. • Mr. Nicholson (Del) briefly expresSed his views. ~He should r vnte not only against, this but allother proposed amendments to the Constitation—the temper and disposi tion of the'House was such as not to authOr ize such an, important change in the. organic law.He protested against taking away the reserved rights of the States, and especially the potential one as to wko shall exercise the sovereign power of volkg. The object of the majority was, he said, ,to give suffrage to the blacks, in order that latter might bectime their allies. The House, without' taking any vote on the question, adjourned.
