BXXEKth CONOBEEM—FIRST IIIaSSION CLOSE OP YESTXELDAY% raosisisnmas. SENATE.-Mr. Nye called up a bill for the relief of Paymaster Rittenhouse, of the Pa st& Squadron, to indemnify him for the loss of government hinds stolen from his safe. In the discussion of the above measure, Mr.il r. Wilson, who oppos it, stated that the government bad lost l than a quarter of a million of dollars thinh the negligence of paymasters since the commencement of the war, Re thought it best to hold every one of them to a strict accountability, and not set a bad precedent at this time, when there were so many settlements with paymasters being made, Pending discussion in the above, Mr. Fes senden rose andsaid, "I gtive notice that on Itior„da,y I should ask the Senate to proceed 'to the consideration of the joint resolution fez an amendment to the Constitution' re ported by the Committee en Reconstruction, and as I understand that the . Senator from 1 4 ,1assechusetts is prepared to speak on that measure, and other gentleman understand he is to do so to-day, ,shalt make a motion that all further consideration of the- bill be postponed until Tuesday, and that we pro ceed to the consideration of the joint resolu tion." . ' - Mr. Stuart spoke of the necessity of taking action on the bill for the admission of Colo rado. Several Senators replied that the bill for the admission of Colorado could be taken up at any time. The joint resolutiot was then read, pro posing the following amendment to the Constitution: 5 Awn= Representatives shall be ap; portioned among the several States which may be included within this Union accord ing to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State. excluding Indians not taxed; Provided, that whenever the elective franchise shalt be denied or abridged on account of race or color, all persons of such race Or color shall - be ex cluded from the basis of representation. Mr. Sumner took the floor, and after a few introductory remarks, called for the reading of the following proposition, offered by him as a substitute for the above joint resolution: " Whereas, It is provided that the Consti tution of the United States shaib guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of government; and, Whereas, By reason of the failure of certain States to maintain governments which Congress can recognize, it has become the duty of the United States, standing in the place of guarantor, where the principal has made a lapse to secure such States, according to the requirement of the guar anty, governments, republican in form ; and,e Whereas, further, It is provided in a re cent constitutional amendment that Con gress may enforce the prohibition of slavery by appropriate legislation, and it is impor tant, to this end, that all relics of slavery should be removed,including all distinction of rights on account of color; now, there fore' to carry out the guaranty of a repub - can form of government and to enforce the prohibition of slavery, be it _Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives, &c, That in all the States lately declared to be in rebellion there shall be no oligarchy, aristocracy, caste or mo nopoly, invested with peculiar privileges and powers; and there shall be no denial of rights, civil or political, on account of color or race, but all persons shall be equal be fore the law, whether in the court room or J ltt the ballot box; and this statute, made in pursuance of the Constitution shall be the supreme law of the laud, anything in the Constitution or laws of any such State to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Sumner remarked that it was wrong to admit that man could hold property in man; and so also the kindred idea of in-- equality in race, and thus openly set at nought the first principles of the Declara tion of Independence, and the guarantee of a republican form of government. Itself, an amendment, according to the dictiona ries, is an improvement—a change for the better. Surely the present proposition is an amendment which, like the crab,goes back wards. There are four millions of citizens now robbed of all share in the Government of their country, while at the same time they are taxed directly or indirectly, for the support of the Government. And this tyranny of taxation without representation it is now proposed to recognize are not in consistent with constitutional rights and the guarantees Of a republican govern ment. Speaking with a sincere deference to those -valued friends from whom he differed, he submittkd that the time has come at last when all compromise of human rights should cease; especially there should be no thought of a three-handed compromise, which, after degrading the Constitution, re nounces a beneficent power, and lastly, bor rowing an example from Pontius Pilate, turns out a whole race to sacrifice. Mr. Sumner then proceeded to his argument on the power of Congress to procure equal - rights for all, and he began by expressing a heartfelt aspiration that the day may soon tome when the States lately in rebellion may be received again into the co-partner ship of political power and in the fall fel lowship of the Union. He saw fall well that it is vain to expect this day, which is so much longed for, until we have obtained that security for the future which is found only in the equal rights of all, whether in the court room or ballot box. The poweretof Congress on the subject are as ample as they are beneficent. From four specific fountains they flow, each one suffi cient for the purpose, all four swelling into one irresistible current, andtending to one conclusion—First, the necessity of the case by which, according to the analogies of the Territciries disloyal States, having no local government, lapse under the authority of Congress: secondly, the rights of war, which do not expire or lose their grasp except with the establishment of all needful guarantees; thirdly, the constitutional injunction to guarantee a republican form of government; and, fourthly, to the constitutional amend-, melts by which Congress, in words of pecu T liar energy, _as empowered to enforce the abolition of slavery by appropriate legisla tion. According to the proverb of Catholic Europe, all roads lead to Rome; and so do all these powers lead to the jurisdiction of Congress over this whole subject. *No mat ter which road you take, you arrive at the same point. Re proposed, with the permission of the Senate, to show the necessity , and duty of exercising the jurisdiction of Congress so as to secure that essential condition of a re publican government, the equal rights of all, and he put aside at the outset that metaphysical question, worthy of the schoolmen in the dark ages, whether cer tain States are in the Union or oat of the Union. This is a question of form, and not of substance; of words only, and not of • facts—for the substance is clear and the facts are unanswerable. All are agreed, according to the authority of President . Lincoln in his latest utterances before his lamented death, that these States„ have ceased to be in practical relations with the - - Union, and this is thought to sustain the jurisdiction of ICongress, even without the plain words of the, Constitution in two separate texts. Necessity and clay com mingling, if what is necessary is not always according . to duty. surely duty is always a necessity. On the present occasion they unite in one voice for the great guarantee. It is at once a necessity. Glancing at the promises of the fathers, he 'should exhibit, first, the overruling necessity of the times, and seconAiy, the positive mandate of the Constitution 'compelling ," us to guarantee a republican form of government, and thus to determine what is meant, by this require ment all of which Jute been fortified by the r 'constitutional amendment authorizing Con-. as to enforce the abolition of slavery ~ The demand which he nuide stands ton' necessity. The Senate must grant it or peril the peice of the republic, and postpone indefinitely the great day of security and reconstruc tion. Therefore, in the name of 'that na tional safety, which is the supreme law,' he brgan his appeal.- Whatever is required for the national safety is constitutional. Not only it may be done, but it mnsti be done. Not to do it is to fail in our dtity. This republic must be saved. Enfranchise ment was defined by Mr. Sumner as the establishment of the equal rights of all, so that there will be no exclusion of any kind, civil or political, founded on color ' but the promises of our fathers shall be fulfilled. Such an act will be, in the words of Presi dent Lincoln, an act of justice warranted; by the Constitution, a military necessity. The national safety pbsitively requires that the enfranchisement thus promised shall ,be performed. The freedman; though forbearing and slow to anger, will not submit to outrage always. He will resist, resistance will be organized, and here will begin the terrible war of races foreseen by Jefferson, whpre God, in all his attributes, has none which can take part with the oppressors. The tragedy of St. Domingo, will be renewedion a wiser, theatre, I with' bloodier incident.% Be warned by this historic precedent. It was the denial of rights to, colored peole, after excessive promises; which caused that fearful insurrection. After various vicissi tudes, during which the rights of citizen ship were conferred on free people of color and then resumed, the slaves at last rose, and here the soul sickens at the recital. Mr. Sumner roceeded to consider the guarantee of a republican form of govern ment by the Constitution. Assuming that there has been a lapse of government in any State so as to impose upon the United States the duty of executing this guarantee, then wouldhe insist that it is the bounden duty of the United States to see that each State has a republican form of government; and in the discharge of this bounden duty they must declare that a State which, in the foun dation of its government, sets aside the con sent of the governed, which imposes taxa tion without representation, which discards the principle of equal rights, and which lodges power exclusively with an oligarchy, aristocracy, caste or monopoly, cannot be recognized as a republican government, according to the requirements of American institutions, Even if it may satisfy some definition handed down from antiquity, or invented in monarchical Europe, it cannot satisfy the solemn injunction of our ConSti tution. For this question I now ask a hear ing. Nothing in the present debate can equal it in importance. Its correct determi mination will be an epoch for our country and for mankind. Mr. Sumner eloborately reviewed the principles asserted by James Otis, John Adams, Patrick Henry; by the colonial As semblies of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and finally by the Continents I Congress. onclusively demonstrated, he said, the issue of principles actually made in the controversy with the mother country, until at last the watchword, taxation with out representation is tyranny, of our fathers, so obnoxious across the sea, gave way to that other defiant watchword, independ ence. But in seeking independence they did riot turn their backs upon the principles asserted ihroughout to the end. That end was nothing else' than a republic, with liberty and equality as the animating principles, where the government should stand on the consent of the governed, as their representative, for here was the distinctive feature of Ameri can institutions. At three forty-five P. M. the Senate went into executive session, Mr. Sumner not having concluded his speech, and subse quently adjourned. HOUSE.—The House resumed the con sideration of the Senate bill to enlarge the Dowers of the Freedmen's bureau. Mr. Trimble (Ky.) opposed the bill for reasons set forth at length, regarding it as striking down thevery foundation on which liberty rests, and obliterating the right of the citizens of all the States. Mr. Grinnell (Iowa) while supporting the bill, took occasion to reply to the gentleman who had just addressed the House, de nouncing the wrong, oppression and crime which bad been perpetrated in Kentucky, and which the gentleman had defended. Mr. Trimble wished to know whether the gentleman was personal in his remarks. Mr. Grinnell replied, he applied them to the State which the gentlemen had de ended, and while proceeding with his speech made use of the term, "your Presi dent." Mr. Randall (Pa.) asked what the gentle men meant by saying your President? Mr. Grinnell replied, "The President, the great Union man who, at Nashville, said he would be the Moses to lead oat the children of Israel." Mr. Randall (Pa.) desired to say he esteemed the President as the President of the whole country. He supported his policy because it was calculated to restore the Union as of yore. While he had no agency in electing him, he required from the other side the respect and support which he himself accorded him. Mr. Grinnell replied he had the honor of giving the President his vote, while the gentleman from Pennsylvania had voted for he knew not whom. He (Mr. Grinnell) said he was the President's friend, and then read from some remarks of the President in favor of protecting the negro, and securing him an honorable and useful employment. Not only the President, but Generals Grant and Howard and the Secretary of War, had asked that the freedmen be protected. IHe asked Mr. Randall whether he approved of the Freedmen's Bureau. Mr. Randall (Pa.) replied he did not know what those gentlemen had said, but he endorsed the policy of the Presidentr who was actuated by patriotic motives alone in his endeavor to restore the union of the States The President did not recommend such a" bill as this, which was in violation of the letter and spirit of the constitution, and proposed to appropriate money without warrant of law. Mr. Grinnell stated that the President does endorse the substance of this bill. Mr. Randall—Where is the proof? Mr. Grinnell—ln the language of the gen tleman from Pennsylvania the other day, I cannot reveal secrets. He then spoke of the outrages committed upon freed persons, and alluded to the receipt of a memorial from friends in Maryland asking for pro tection, and saying their school houses had been bm'ned, near enough to Washington that the flames Might light up the Capitol, and the school teachers driven away., It would be worse than barbarism to leave the freedmen where they now are. Mr. McKee (Ky.) said that those who oppose this bill are those who oppose every measure to crush out demon. They oppose the bill because it was against the course whic they had so long pursded. They pro posed to continue tyranny, oppression and wrong, while the nation desired to protect all people alike.l When the President issued his proclamation calling for troops, it was denounced as a Insurpation. As for him self, he only stood on one side in the con test, and that 'was. on' the side of his coun try, and auainstitreason, oppression and wrong. General Grant said that both whites and blaCks mutually require !the protection of the government. This :did not look like peace. Although Kentucky ' was not included in The' proclamation do claring certain States in, rebellion, she was the most reDellihna of the whole crew. idle desired that the' government shall be con tinned in loyal; hands against traitors and disloyal men. He defended the constitu tionality of the hill, and said that they had Jailed as yet to bring down the chivalry' ae TOE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1866. ow asil4iy ought to be, in order that just rights'might be given to their fellow men. 'The time had gone by when hutnan beings, could be treated as brates•by their former mmasters. , the Committer Treed- Mr'.Eliot, from the Jon bn 1 re men's Affairs, offered se'versd amendments to the pending bill, so ass to provide that the act establishing the 'Bureau:shall "ex tend to refugees and freedmen in all parts of the United States, and authorizing the President to divide the section of country within which the privilege- of -the writ of habeas corpus was suspended on the first day of February,lB66, containing such refugees and freedmen, into districts, each cotes:in ing one or more States, not to_ .. exeed twelve in number. He said this amend ment limited the jurisdiction of the F.ll - and confined it to States where the writ is now suspended. Mr. Raymond (N. Y.) rose to a personal explanation. He said he was not in the House when the debate closed (last Friday), and until he saw the Globe he was not aware that any remarks were made concerning him at that time, He found that while sl hiding to the letter of General Sherman to the President, concerning the appropria tion for negroes of the Sea Islands, his col league (Mr. Chanler) said the letter should now.be before the.uountry, as it was in his (Mr. Raymond's) bands for presentation, and that it had been given to him for that purpose. He knew nothing about any such transaction, or that the letter was placed in the hands of his colleague, or of his having a claim to present such a letter. He never felt or dreamed of being a contestant of his colleague for the presentation of a letter or anything else. He was told in conversation by a gentlii man from South Carolina that such a letter had been written, and he asked him whethtir he had any objection to giving a copy of it for publication in his (Mr. Raymond's) newspaper. The gentleman assented at once, and for that purpose it came into his hands. As to the bill under consideration, the original proposition seemed to be thed Congress hail no right to refuse to take some steps, in the way of duty, to protect those who have been set free. He had no appre hension as to the practical working of this measure.. He found that this law, like most others, would - work well when well admin istered, and this would depend on the char acter of the agents in whose hands it was placed. He did not fear that agents would be appointed who would not use the power for the great object of harmony, conciliation and protection to all classes of citizens in the Southern States. He was quite sure it would work well. Mr. Chanler wanted to set himself right, but Mr. Eliot declined further to yield the floor, and then proceeded to defend the bill. The objection, he said, which had been urged, that this bill referred to the whole country, was removed by his amendment, and the objection to the expense had been removed substantially by other amendments proposed by the Committee on Freedmen's Affairs. The objections applied to the Senate bill, and not to the substitute now pending. He then read from various official letters relating how freedmen had been persecuted, and as an argument for their protection, and from others to show how many white refugees had been relieved. It Atlanta three hundred families of whit( refugees, it was sta tc-d, would suffer greatly tnis winter unless they were assisted by government agents. To these the latter had given transportation and rations. He de , mended the previous tp. estion. Mr. Stevens said the bill, as it stood, con• templated the turning off of negroes at th( end of three years from the land on which they had been located by the government. He moved to strike out this objectionable clause. The bill said that the rental shah be based upon a valuation of the land, and that the occupants thereof may purchase i; upon paying therefor the ascertained value of the land. What advantage was that? There were no public lands except the ever glades. He moved an amendment so as v give the lands now occupied on the princi ple of the Homestead law, forty acres t each occupant. The President, he said, was now ordering the confiscated lands to b' returned to their former owners, and the freedmen were to be removed from them, notwithstanding their erection of churches and schoolhouses. The pardoning power could not restore these larLds to the rebels. None but Congress could prescribe such disposition of' them. The freedmen on the Sea Islands who had built their habitations, and schools and churches there, had a right to retain the same forever. It would be a burning shame to turn away these poor creatures. Sixteen thou sand freedmen, between Fortress Monroe and Williamsburg, Virginia, are occupying lands ceded to them by our government under the Confiscation act. Having been taken as enemies' property and confiscated, it could not, he repeated, be reached by the pardoning power of the President. These sixteen thousand persons have built houses, churches and school-houses, and have over two hundred thousand dollars in savings banks. They were now to be turned out, and the reeking rebels brought back to take their places. God forbid he should ever vote for a bill like this. The Emperor of Russia set a good example when the serfs were proclaimed free. That monarch said they have earned the land and are entitled to it. And were they to sell the freedmen those lands at a price not less than the government price, or rent them at a price they could pay? Mr. Eliot said so far from that being the ease, he had information from the head of the Bureau that all the rights of the colored men would be cared for with satisfaction to themselves. That is all they ask and all they want. Mr. Stevens said if the freedmen were turned out it would be robbery. Mr. Smith moved an amendment that none of the provisions of this act shall ea ter d to or be enforced in the State of Ken tucky. The bill and the amendment will be voted on to-morrow. Mr. Stevens offered a resolution, which was adopted,,setting apart the evenings for the purpose of general debate, and in pur suance of this, the House took a recess till half-past seven o'clock for that purpose. Evening Session.—Mr. Hubbell (Ohio) made a speech to show that Abraham Lin coln, in his proclamation and other official acts, contemplated the re-establishment of loyal State governments in the South at the earliest possible moment. The path of duty of Andrew Johnson, his successor, was plain, supported by a unanimous Cabinet. The policy inaugurated had received the sanction of the American peeple in the most authoritative manner, and any de parture from it would have been a betrayal of his party and the country. He referred to the proclamation of Presi dent Johnson. with reference to the restora tion of the State of North Carolina, arguing that in all its features it was precisely the same plan as that inaugurated by President Lincoln, and to which the latter adhered until the dayof his death. The President had acted wisely and done well, and his policy was magnaniinotts and conciliatory. He (14,1 r. Hubbell) maintained that it was the duty of Congress, by appropriate legis lation, to legalize the validity of what had been done, and to restore the States to their proper, political relations to the General Government. He desired au amendment to the Constitution changing the basis of representation from population to voters, or something equi - . alent, so as to conform to the new order of things, giving ample and complete protection to freedmen, which was demanded by every consideration of hunianity, and by the un,mistakable voice cf the people of the country. Mr. Samuel J. Randall (Pa.) affirmed that the rebel States have never been out of he Union, To ELL • eo is to admit the right of secession, which we have beetrit witr:to prevent. He sustained the .Presidentitil his4eclaration that the States icannoecone- Mit treason, but individuals.conld, 8e in stituted a comparision between the western ineurrection and the late rebellion, except ing in the numbers engaged in the former. Gen. 'Washington having subdued the rebels gave the soil back to the owners, and to the people all their civil rights . He reviewed the entire history of the Republican party, showing that they, as a party, by their acts and the legislation which they controlled, have deliberately established that - these States have never been out of the Union, and they have permitted them to exercise the highest-powers known • to the Constitu tion. He referredlo various acts of the Execu tive, Legislative and Judicial Departments of the Government, admitting Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana and other rebel States were in the Union, and that the Republican National and various State Conventions had endorsed Mr. Johnson's nomination as a citizen of the State of Ten nessee. The Houses of Congress, in joint convention, when assembled to count the electoral votes, declared Tennessee a State in the Union. He then cited the erection of Western Virginia into a State, and affirmed that the legislation with reference thereto proved that Virginia, after seces sion, remained, what Virginia was before the act— a free State in. the Union, competent to cede territory; that Congress recognized that right without limi tation when West Virginia was admitted into the Union. West Virginia therefore stands as all the States in the Union formed from the thirteen colonial States. Decisions of the Supreme Court were , then cited to show that that judicial authority had as sumed that these States were in the Union. In response to Mr. Spaulding's view of the . States being in the Union as a portion.of the Government, without taking a part in the governing power, he said it was the para phrase of what South Carolina attempted to demand in her nullification Convention of 1832. He concluded by asserting: 1. That the Constitution of the United States was for a perpetual Union, without limitation as to time, and that the rebel States had no right to secede. 2. That the conventions of the rebel States had no right to secede from and deny their allegiance to the Constitution. 3. That the individuals who thus secede and aid this secession are liable to the judi cial and executive powers of the Govern ment, who alone have the power to pin' h or pardon. 4. That the citizens and inhabitants of the rebel States who remain faithful to the Union retain their rights, which cannot be inter fered wither taken from them by any power; and the States remain at the end as before the rebellion commenced. That the rebel States all stand upon the same footing in their relations to the Union, excepting as to dates of acts of secession. Entertaining these sentiments, he should vote for the admission of the representa tives, they having complied with ail the re commenuations of President Johnson, and against any act which would delay this na tional blessing. Mr. Lawrence Ohio) vindicated the policy of the government relative to the punish ment of traitors. That policy was that some of the great conspirators who inaugurated the rebellion, anti were most guilty in con ducting it,should be tried in the civil courts for . treason, but military officers, as those who assassinated military officers and mur dered Union prisoners of war, should b , tried and punished by military tribunals. Four of have been urged to protect traitors. First, that secession is constitu tional. Second, the belligerent rights of the rebels. Third, that the Constitution required , treason to be tried in the State where committed (and there is no legal loyal State where the rebellion existed tonad fourth, that a jury trial is impracticable. He deemed it unnecessary to discuss thr right of secession, since it was denied by all the loyal men. Ile argued that the belligerent rights of the rebels did not protect them from tria: for treason, because the nation retained not only belligerent but sovereign rights, in eluding the right to try and condemn trai tors, and this he supported by citations from Vattel, Wheaton, Bell, Bishop, and other authorities. The Constitution, in de claring that treason should be tried the State where committed, only had reference to the geographical State. Treason,as such, can only be tried in civil tribunals, and this has been decided by the Attorney General; but military offences may be tried by mili tary tribunals. He had confidence in :the Courts to con demn treason. A failure in a civil court was no more probable than in a military one, and in neither case could it impair the verdict of war. He might prefer a military Trial of Davis first, but that was for the Pre sident to decide. The President invited our attention to this subject in his message. A civil trial is practicable; the marshal selects the jury, and there were now thousands of oval men in Virginia whom he could and would select. An act of Congress excludes traitors for juries, since it was not deemed just that traitors should try treason. The President will execute the sentence of the Court. Jeff. Davis is the colossal traitor of the age, and if he is to go unpunished, then in the name of humanity and God let us abolish the gallows forever. With restored loyalty he was ready for conciliation. Mr. Stillwell (lnd.) said that from the 14th of April, 1861, when the American flag was fired upon at Fort Sumter, until Lee's surrender, on the 9th of April 1866, eleven States were in armed rebellion. It was pro claimed, when they were about to cut the •thread of national life, and sever the bonds of Union, that it was the duty of the govern ment to maintain its rights, execute the laws and protect its flag over our extended territory, and to make and punish rebellion as a flagrant crime. In order that the public mind might be clearly informed of the issue involved, Congress, on the 23d of July, 1861, passed a resolution declaring that the object of the war was to preserve the Union, to preserve the rights ofthe States unimpaired, and that when theca _ objects were attained the contest ought to cease. This was a binding pledge of the national faith to every one in arms, and that the war was not for subjugation, but was waged to 'preserve, not to destroy the government. The system inaugurated by Mr. Lincoln for the restoration of the Southern States' was perfect in all its details, and its practi cable application was about ito be made when the head of the nation, the conscien tious, wise defender, and the friend of State government, was stricken down by the hand of an assassin. That the plan of Mr. Lincoln, as carried out by Mr. Johnson, would ultimately meet the approval of the people, was his earnest hope. The doctrine that States could secede 'from the Union was not a new one. It was 'proclaimed by John C. Calhoun, and cul- Ininated in 1861. The doctrine had been proclaimed here that those who had been 'engaged in the rebellion had forfeited their political rights; but we will soon have to :meet this great question. His position was !known from th'e resolution which he intro duced here on the 19th of. December, namely : "He would be ready to admit to (seats all loyal men who can come'here and 'take the prescribed oath, that they had 'never assisted in rebellion." If man's rights cannot be taken away, - we certainly cannot deprive Union men of representation.. , He believed with the Presi dent that suffrage belongs to the States, and 'that Congress has no right to interfere with it, He expressed :himself hopeful for the future, and that all portions of our country , would soon be in harmony and united to carry out the great purposes for which the Union was founded.
