CONGUESS-FIRSTLSW3ION. umm [CLOSE OP YESTEIWAY'S PBO=FiDINeSd SENATE.—Mr. Morgan (N. Y.) called up The bill to extend the time for withdrawing goods from the public stores and warehouses, on which Mr. Sprague's motion for recon sideration was pending. Mr: Sprague (R. I.) spoke against the bill, so calculated to injuriously affect home manufactures by enabling importers to sell goods cheaper than they could be manufac tured. The country, Mr. Sprague said, had heard a great deal about the profits of manu facturers. The happiest day of his life, he said, would be when he saw the New Eng land system of industry made the system of the country , . He would like the western and middle State to enjoy the strength of the New Bngland system. -After further debate, in which Messrs. Sherman, Morrill, Hendricks and Clark participated, further consideration of the subject was postponed until to-morrow. Mr. Wilson reported a bill to fix the mili tary peace establishment of the 'United States. It fixes the peace establishment as follows: Five regiments of artillery, twelve of ca valry, fifty of infantry, cadets, etc: The five regiments of artillery are now organ ized, but the organization of the first,second, third and fourth shall be like that of the fah, The adjutants, quartermasters and commissaries iaereafter to be extra first lieu- tenants. To the six cavalry regiments exist! there shall be six more added. The first d second lieutenants and two-thirds of e higher officers to be selected from the offi cers and soldiers of the volunteer force, and the other third from the regular army. Four companies of each regiment may be drilled as infantry, at the discretion of the Prat& dent. The fifty regiments of infantry are thus made up: ten regiments now organised of ten companies each, the remaining nine each, with three battalions of eight regi ments, are made twenty-seven by adding two companies to each battalion; five addi tional regiments of ten companies, an.d eight regiments of colored troops, to be officered by_officers of colored troops who have dis tinguished themselves in the field. It re quires the distribution of officers among the States in proportion to the troops furnished during the war. Each regiment shall have one colonel, one lieutenant-colonel, two ma jors, one regimental commissary, one adju tant, one regimental quartermaster, ten captains, ten first and ten second lieuten ants,one sergeant-major,one quartermaster sergeant, one hospital steward,one commis sary aergeant,two principal musicians;each company one captain, one first and one second lieutenant, one first sergeant, four sergeants, eight corporals, two musicians, one wagoner and fifty privates. It pro vides an ordnance sergeant and hospital steward for each military post, and author izes the President to appoint a superinten dent of national cemeteries, established or to be established, with the rank and pay of ordnance sergeant, to be selected from non commissioned officers. Enlistments shall be for five years. It provides for one lieu tenant general, five major and ten brigadier generals. The adjutant general shall have the rank and pay of a brigadier; two assist ants, colonels of cavalry; four assistants, lieutenant colonels, and thirteen assistants, majors; four inspectors and eight assistants, who shall have respectively the rank and pay of colonels and lieutenant colonels of cavalry; the judge advocate general to rank as brigadier, and the assistant to rank as colonel of cavalry. The Quartermaster's Department shall have one general, four assistants, eight de puties and sixteen quartermasters, grading as above, and in addition forty-eight more quartermasters, rank as captains. The Commissary General shall have two assist ants, ranking as colonels, two as lieutenant colonels, eight commissaries as majors, and sixteen as captains; surgeons, seventy-five majors; assistants, one hundred and fifty first lieutenants, for three years, and then rank as captains. The Paymaster General is given two assistants, two deputies, sixty paymasters. The Chief Engineer shall have six colonels, twelve lieutenant colo nels, twenty-six majors.. thirty captains, twenty-six first and ten second lieutenants. Other provisions of the former bill have been somewhat changed in this. Mr. Morrill (Me.) called up the joint re solution to amend the Constitution on the subject of representation. Mr. Sumner (Mass.) offered an amend ment to insert the following words at the close of the original proposition, "and they shall be exempt from taxation of all kinds," so as to make the amendment provide that those who are excluded from the right of suffrage on account of color or race shall be exempted from taxation. Mr.. Henderson (Mo.) addressed the Senate at length in favor of the amendment offered by him recently prohibiting any State from withdrawing the elective franchise on ac count of color. Mr. Henderson commenced his remarks with an allusion to the Presi- dent's speech to the Virginia delegation. In that speech the President has said that he regarded what is known as the radical party ! as the great danger of this country. He (Mr. Henderson) had honestly and earnestly supported the President in his accession to the Executive chair.. He had given the Ad ministration an earnest support, and his object and purpose was to restore, if possi ble, and, at the earliest practicable moment, the union of these States. He desired now to do so. On the 24th of February last he adverted to the admission of Louisiana and Arkansas. He believed that Mr. Lincoln had the authority to do what he did for the re-organization of these States. The war was then existing; and it was our design and purpose to restore the Union, as rapidly as possible, and it was thought that the re bellion ought in part to be suppressed by these new state organizations. The rebels did not participate in these State organizations, They strongly opposed them, and the men who participated in the reorganization of Louisiana and Arkansas were Union men. Mr. Henderson next referred to the am nesty proclamation of President Johnson, and denied the right of the President, to grant amnesty to rebels, except upon the conditions prescribed by the act of July, 1862, which prescribed an oath that must be taken before amnesty can be granted. He adverted to the proclamation reorgan izing the State of North Carolina, and de nied the right of the President to prescribe the qualifications of voters, as he had done in that proclamation. He believed the State governments in the South must be reorgan izep before there could be a perfect union of the States; but if you turn back the State governments to the men who had been in rebellion, is it not reasonable to expect that they will rebel again? He would ask the Senate if Congress could not, to-day pass an act depriving the late rebels of their citi zenship, notwithstanding the President's amnesty? If Congress has the power to do that, it ought to be done. The men, who went into the rebellion ought to be disfran chised and prevented from taking part in the work of re-organization. Mr. Hender son read from the address of the Virgini a delegation to the President. He said it was, signed by a man named Balawin among others. Mr. Wilson inquired if that was not the Baldwin who was a member of the rebel Congress, and who nominated General Lee - for Governor of Virginia. it. Mr. Henderson said he so understood it. EMI.: Sumner inquired if that was the sort of men who gave advice to the President? Mr- Henderson was speaking of Mr. Lin coin's plan for reorganizing on the basis of one-tenth of the people .of a State, when 111 r. Wade inquired how, under a republican form of government, one-tenth of -a people could govern nine-tenths? M.r.„Heuclereon inquired if the govern- ment of South Carolina was not republican when she entered the Union? Mr. Wade said it was not.` Mr. Mr. Henderson said our fathers must have lied about it then. Mr. Wade said they were mistaken; that was all. Mr. Henderson continued his remarks on the subject of reorganization, contending for the right of giving the control of State gov ernments to loyal men. Yet men who did thiswere denounced as Jacobins and Round heads. Mr. Sumner—By whom ? Mr. Henderson—The President says so to the 'Virginia delegation. He refers to such men as the Senator from Massachassetts. He is the most dangerous man I know of. He is always making whitewashing speeches and doing other dangerous things. The President alludes to him when he talks about hammering at one end while the an vil was going at the other. Mr. Sumner said that did not apply to him. It must be meant that the Democrats were hammering at this end. Mr. Henderson was sure Mr. Sumner was the man whom the President meant. Mr. Henderson was referring, again to the interview between the Virginia delega tion and the President. He was interrupted by Mr. Wilson, who said: "I want to ask the Senator if he has any anxiety whatever in regard - to the opinions of this Mr. Bald win or any men of that class, or any men in the .country who sympathize with them, that they will be able to influence affairs in any of the States that in 1864 voted for Mr. Lincoln for President? I ask if he does not believe that these States, by a most decisive Majority, a majority larger than they gave in 1864, are to-day opposed to the admission of any of these States to representation in the Chamber until they give security for the future ? Mr. Henderson—l before stated I am a conservative. lam regarded as a conserva tive, not as a radical. I want these States back immediately. Mr. Wilson—So do we. Mr. Henderson—Bnt I am not so anxious bout it as to take them back in their pres nt condition. Mr. Henderson then dis cussed the right of Congress to disfranchise rebels. He believed that right existed and ought to be exercised. On motion of Mr. Doolittle the Senate went into executive session, Mr. Henderson not : having concluded his speech, and soon after adjourned. HOUSE.—Mx. Brooks inquired whether the Committee on Reconstruction had a right to report at any time and make a spe cial order? The Speaker replied they had not, but that unanimous consent was required for a special order. Mr. Brooks said that what was to be done with the resolutions had better be done La- day. Mr. Bingham, at the suggestion of Mr. Stevens, moved to recommit the resolution, and that it be printed. Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) wanted to know the use of recommitting the resolution when the committee bad made up their minds. Mr. Bingham replied the gentleman knew the object of the motion was that the committee might report it back again. Mr. Brooks said that the committee could thus put the resolution through the House at any time without their knowing what it was. Mr. Bingham wanted the gentleman to understand that the object of the amend ment was to extend universally the guaran tee of constitutional protection. Mr. Brooks wanted the country to under stand that they did not know what the committee were doing, and that the amend ment could be put through the House under the gag law. Mr. Bingham replied that nothing of the kind was intended. The motion to recommit was agreed to. Mr. Schenck (Ohio) offered a joint resolu tion, which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, providing that hereafter every brevet appointment or commission conferred on an officer .of the army shall state for what particular act of gallantry or meritorious conduct the same was conferred, and the names on the army register shall be similarly designated. The House proceeded to the consideration of the Michigan contested election ca.se, Baldwin against Trowbridge. The report of the Committee of Elections says there is no question of fact and on y one of law involved in this contest. By the act of the Legislature a large number of votes were cast by soldiers outside the limits of the State. If these votes can be lawfully counted, Mr. Trowbridge has a majority of the whole, and is entitled to the seat. If not, Mr. Baldwin, having a majority of the home vote, is entitled to it. It will be observed the committee say that the elector is pro hibited by the Constitution of the State, tak ing the interpretation of its Supreme Court as correct, from voting outside of the town ship or ward in which he resides, but by the act of Legislature is allowed, when absent in the military service of the country, to vote even outside of the State. Here is an unmistakable conflict of authority. The Constitution prohibits what the Legislature as plainly permits. The one authorizes the election to be held only in the township or ward, the other at military headquarters. The power to act at all in the premises, so far as concerns representatives in Congress, is derived from Article 1, section 4, of the Constitution of the United States. They conclude their argument by saying the power to prescribe the place, whether called a qualification, limitation or condition, is still vested in what the Constitution calls "the Legislature," and there it must re main. It cannot be diverted by giving it another name, however apt it may ue. The committee therefore report the reso lution that Rowland E. Trowbridge is en titled to a seat in this House as Representa tive in the Thirty-ninth Congress from the fifth Congressional district of Michigan. Mr. Marshall, of the minority of the com mittee, says in his statement that, having carefully considered the questions ()flaw in volved in this case, he has come to the con clusion that Mr. Baldwin was duly eiected. It is admitted that of the votes cast for Re presentative Mr. Baldwin had a majority. It is also admitted that a large number of citizens of Michigan who were out of the State, and in the service of the United States, on the day of election, in pursuance of the provisions of an act of ie Legislature of Michigan, approved February 5, 1864, voted at the places where they happened to be on the day of election, and that if these votes can be lawfully counted. Mr. Trow bridge had a majority and was duly elected. If they cannot be, lawfully counted, Mr. Baldwin was duly elected and is entitled to the seat. The question is therefore purely a legal one, and involves some nice questionts of constitutional law. The Supreme Court of Michigan, in a case arising out of the iden tical election out of which this contest has arisen, have construed this provision of their constitution to mean that the elector shall be personally present in the township in which he resides on the day of election, and there in person present his ballot at the place - of voting. Mr. Marshall combats at some length the positions assumed by the majority, and concludes by a resolution that Augustus C. Baldwin is entitled to the seat. Mr. Beaman addressed the House in behalf of Mr. Trowbridge, and.was followed by Mr. Marshall on the other side. Mr. Baldwin, the contestant, being too unwell to speak, obtained permission to print his argument. The House, at twenty minutes past four o'clock, adjourned. Tam BILL providing for the permanent lo cation of; the capital of West Virginia, at Euekhannon. passed the Rouse of Repre sentatives on Thursday. ILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA; WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1866. English - Feinale Boarding Schools—Queer •The Queen, a London "lady's news paper," has lately contained a number of 'letters from various correspondents,. relative •to corporal punishment in schools, the contents of which have completely disgusted the community at large, and made parents particularly anxious respecting their children at school. It appears from these letters that in most of the fashionable ladies' boarding schools the system of corporal punishment is in vogue, and that mar riageable young ladies are stripped, laid across a "horse," and then receive a cas tigation which is usually awarded to only the naughtiest children. Besides the stripes of a birch, there are several other formalities to be gone through, very humbling to the pupil, and which one correspondent describes as follows: "For the first offence the delinquent is prepared for punishment, but generally pardoned; for the second she is whipped privately; for all subsequent delin quencies the punishment takes place in the schoolroom, on the "horse," and in addition to the pain it inflicts it costs in money about ls. in, fees. This is the system: First, she proceeds tothe house keeper to procure the rod—she pays 2d. for the use of it; secondly, she has to be partly undressed by the maid, and this costs 2d.; thirdly, she has then to walk barefooted to another part of the house, to be robed for punishment—a pecaliar dressing to add to the disgrace. It is a long linen blouse, short cotton socks and slippers. The young lady, thus dressed, now proceeds to the drawing room to be exhibited to the lady super intendent. Having been approved, she is then conducted to thesecond room, when she has to pay 6d. to the governess who inflicts the punishment. A wooden horse, covered with soft leather is the medium of castigation. The de linquent then thanks the governess, kisses the rod, and retires to her own room, to appear no more until the next morning." One of the writers, an Irishman, says he has under his care a niece, 18 years old. Last summer, the young lady having finished her education, they went to live in a "pleasant village near the Thames." In the "village" was a very large ladies' school, and the young lady in question being particularly fond of study, made arrangements to attend twice a week, in order to add to her store of knowledge, if possible. One afternoon it appears she c4::•ntradicted, or rather corrected a teacher who had mis-quoted a line of poetry. To her surprise, when about to leave after her lessons, she was ordered into the school-room. To her amaze ment and indignation, she was told that she was to be birched "for impudence to a teacher." She protested and implored but in vain. Her resistance was useless against force; she was held across a desk, the clothing was completely re moved from the lower part of her person, and the lady principal gave her twelve sharp cuts with a birch. The young lady went home, distracted in mind, and related the circumstances to her uncle. He was, of course, highly indig nant, but he concluded to say nothing about it until the young lady had CiM pleted the term of her tuition. That time having arrived, he sent an invita tion to the lady principal, asking her to lunch at his home and receive the amount of money due her. This the principal accepted, and on her arrival she was rather surprised at the warmth of the reception, which was as follows: Three lady acquaintances had been in vited to act as a committee of reception, witha "birch," "horse," &c.,alongwith them. Ou the appearance of the prin cipal the gentleman lectured her as to her conduct to his niece, and told her to avoid exposure by legal proceedings he had concluded, with the ladies present, to punish her as she had done his niece. There being no other alternative she consented, and was accordingly stripped bydaie ladies, drawn across the "horse,'' gentleman himself laid on the birch. He gave her twenty strokes, the everity of which the principal's flushed countenance attested to. She then de parted. There are a number of other letters, all of which contain accounts similar to the above. NEW ORLEANsTeb. 13.—The Texas'State Convention organized on Saturday. It was agreed by a vote of 66 to 11 that all the members should swear to support the con stitution of the United States. A resolution, previously adopted, that all who had not hitherto done so should take the amnesty oath, was reconsidered. The constitutional oath was administered to the Convention en 7naxse by Judge Ever ett, the members standing. Governor Hamilton was notified of the organization, and sent a message, recom mending, among other things, the repudia tion of the rebel State debt. Stories The Texas Stitte Convention The Convention appointed a Committee on the Condition of the State Executive, Le gislative, and Judiciary Departments, of which Judge Roberts F. Smith, President of the Secession Convention, is Chairman; a Committee on the General Provisions of the Constitution, of which Judge Hancock is Chairman; and Committees on Elections, Printing, Education, Public Lands, Indian Affairs, (U. Resolutions declaring no person coming 'within the exceptions of the President's It Amnesty Prow ation entitled to a seat, and a substitute to refer all credentials to a Committee on E ections, were referred. Resolutions to adjust debts contracted on the basis of confederate money, to inquire after the record f the library and farniture of the Suprenie Court, to extend relief to parties owing debts prior to the war, and to establish separate Criminal Courts, were all referred to appropriate Committees. From Fortress Monroe. FORTRESS MoNsoE,Feb.l2.—The steamer Amanda Winants, with the brig Rhinebeck in tow, started' from here on Saturday for New York, but returned in the course of the night, having been unable to proceed any farther than Hog Island, the sea run ning in very heavy from the eastward, and breaking in seven fathoms of water. The large fleet of vessels that left here on Satur day, bound north, were having a rough time of it outside. The wind had been blowing from the northward steadily outside for four days, and created such a heavy sea that the brig which the Winants had in tow was completely bidden at times as she lay roll ing in the trough of the sea. Unusual activity is being manifested in the work of renovating the Gosport Navy Navy Yard, destroyed by 'the rebels at the beginning of the war. Saw millsand stables are being erected, and the Yard under the untiring exertions of the officers, is gradual ally assuming the appearance of cleanliness and order. All the dead or decayed trees are ordered to be removed, and workmen are engaged in removing the debris from the burned district, and tearing down and re moving the old temporary sheds. Yesterday, the weather cleared off, but a rain storm set in last night and has pre vailed all day,Tith a heavy fog. Three soldier of the 3d Infantry, were drummed out o the garrison yesterday, for desertion and other crimes. E,The Mount Hope Insane Asylum Case. BAL'indonE, February 13th. The court bad previously decided to admit .the decla rations of a former Sister Superior as evi dence in the case, its value •to be subse quently determined by the court. Miss Mary Fleming of New York, whose testi mony the prosecution has endeavored to obtain each day of the trial, was recalled to the witness stand, and testified, in sub stance to her having been brought to the institution by her sister and Cooper in De cemberi 1858, from New York that she was greatly_distressed at being confined there and that the superior sister, Angie, told her she was not insane; that she told the supe rior how she came to be taken there, and that the superior said she was not insane, and that her family should not leave her there more than two months. The witness also testified that Dr. Stokes said the same, but still she was kept there for nearly two years. Connecticut Polities. HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 13.—The Repub lican State Convention which meets to morrow, promises to be one of the largest and ablest held in. the State for years. The attendance at the caucks to-night was quite large, and much good feelingprevails. The convention will indorse President Johnson, affirm confidence in the patriotism of Con gress, and reaffirm the doctrine and princi ples under which the party has fought for the past five years. There is a strong desire to renominate Governor Buckingham, but as he positively eleclinesZa new choice will be made. The prominent candidates for Governor are General J. R. Hawley, Lieutenant-Governor AVerill and the Hon. E. C. Scranton. EXCITING SCENE IN A HOSPITAL.- Through the carelessness of an intoxicated nurse four wards of the Cumberland Hos pital at Nashville, Tenn., were burned on the let inst. About one hundred patients were in the wards, many of whom were suf fering from limbs lately amputated, but all were removed in safety. The nurse, a discharged soldier, perished in the flames. Men who were suffering were heard to ex claim: "Don't take any trouble about us,we tan be removed at any time," while others who were only slightly unwell, were clam orous in the entreaties to be carried away. THE Maryland Legislature adjourned on Thursday night, after refusing to entertain the proposition to amend nr repeal the re gistration law. The Susquehanna boom bill •• as also-defeated.
