NTH CONORESS-FERST SESSION
[CLOSE 04' YI.STEILDAY'S PBOCEE,DINGS.I
SENATE.—Mr. Dixon (R. I.) introduced a
bill to prevent the perversion of the mails to
fraudulent and illegal purposes. It autho
rizes the Postmaster-General to prevent the
delivery of packages or letters sent to ficti
tious addresses, whenever he is satisfied that
fraud or deception is intended, and that
:such letters shall be sent to the Dead LettOr
office, and thence to the writers. Wahl)
imposes a fine for mailing hand-bills and
.circulars to induce people to invest money
In lotteries or gift enterprises. It further
imposes fine and imprisonment for falsely,
denying the reception of- money received in
such cases. The bill was referred to the.
Post Office Committee.
Mr. Howard (Mich.) presented the memo
rial of 175 citizens of Alexandria, Virginia,
asking for a territorial government for the
State of. Virginia. The memorial asserts
that on the withdrawal c f the United States
troops, the State government will fall into
the hands of rebels; that the Legislature at
Richmond had recently passed a law to tax
loyal people for the pension'of the widow of
Stonewall Jackson, and that loyal men are
being persecuted traitors. The petition was
read, and on motion, referred to the Com
mittee on Reconstruction.
Mr. Riddle (Del.) presented a memorial of
citizens of Jefferson county, Virginia, pro
testing against the cession of that county to
West Virginia, and asking that the mat
ter be left to the vote of citizens of the coun
ty. Referred to the Committee on Territo
ries.
Mr. Foot, Chairman of the Committee on
the late ceremonies on the death of Abraham
Lincoln, reported that under a joint resolu
tion he bad applied to Mr. Bancroft for a
copy of his oration, and had been furnished
with it for publication.
Mr. Chandler, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported a bill to pay to Mr.
Wilson, Consul to Bahia, Brazil, $1,500, for
damage done to his personal effects by a
mob, after the capture of the Florida. At
the suggestion of several Senators, the above
was laid over for the present.
Mr. Trumbull introduced a joint resoln
tion, tendering thanks to officers and sea
men who rendered assistance to soldiers
and others wrecked on the steamship San
Francisco,
which was referred to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs.
On: motion of Mr. Lane (Ind.) the Senate
took up the bill to grant the benefits of the
pension laws to artificers, the same as to
soldiers and men enlisted or detailed as ar
tificers, and wounded in the service, who
are entitled to eight dollars per month pen
sion, and if killed, their heirs and assigns
lire entitled to the same amount, which was
passed.
Mr. Trumbull called up a bill in relation
to the Court of Claims, which .was passed.
It provides that, in all cases decided by the
Court of Claims, there may be an appeal to
the Supreme Court; also, that the session of
the Court of Claims shall commence on the
first Monday in December.
.Mr. Chandler called up a bill to permit
the International Ocean Telegraph Compa
ny to establish a line between New York
and the West India Islands. It compels
the Companyto have the line finished with
in five years, and gives the exclusive right
of way to it for twenty-five years. At the
request of Mr. Sherman, the above was laid
over for the present.
The constitutional amendment was taken
np at one o'clock.
Mr. Hendricks took the floor in opposition
to the pending measure. He commenced
by referring to the early history of the coun
try, showing that the Constitution .of the
United States was framed at a' time when the
best fraternal feeling existed between the
different sections of the country. It was
framed after a long war had cemented the
Union.with a bond of friendship. Now it
was'proposed to amend' it at a time when
sectional hate was strong, and when the re
presentatives of an entire section were ex-,
anded from the halls of Congress. He de-,
precated very much the disposition which
seemed to prevail with regard to amending
the Constitution. He would vote against
every proposition for amendment now be
fore Congress, and against every one that
might be introduced hereafter. Not that
he did not believe there there were points
in which the Constitution could be im
proved, but he did not believe the people or
Congress were in a condition to act wisely
upon such measures. He denied the right
of the Special Committee to report such a
proposition. It was a committee raised to
inquire into the subject of the admission of
Southern Senators and Representatives, and
not to report constitutional amendments.
Mr. Fessenden said it was the practice of
committees to report on everything referred
to them. The resolution under discussion
was offered in the House and referred to the
joint committee.
Mr. Hendricks contended that the practice
was a bad one. The special committee, he
said, had its origin in a party caucus. It
- was a political inquisition, over whose doors
might be written, "ND admittance to the
American people." They selected witnesses
according to their own pleasure, and it was
a party measure that organized the com
mittee, and it was nothing but a party com
mittee. It could not have been originated
if proposed any day since the first day of
the session. Referring to the first pronosed
amendment on the subject ofrepresentatiou,
he said it was abandoned because it was
found out that to base representation upon
the voting population would be to injure
New England's interests. He believed
Federal taxation ought to be based noon
property and not upon population.
The proposed amendment was seated only
upon party policy. It was designed to crip
ple the representation of the South and per
petuate the powers of the Republican party.
This much has been admitted by Thaddeus
Stevens, in the House. Another effect of
the proposed amendment would be to re
duce the representation of the agricultural
section of the country and to correspond
ingly increase New England powers. He
would not say as word against New Eng
land. He honored her history, but he could
not consent that she should have increased
powers. During the war the interests of the
Northwest bad beeri subordinate to New
England by a heavy tariff, and foreign
competition had been cut off for the benefit
of New England manufacturers. He de
manded for the West simple equality with
the other States in the burdens of the coun
try. This has not been the case for five
years. Manufacturers had been growing
rich while Western farmers had been al-,
post impoverished.
Mr. Anthony interrupted Mr. Hendricks
to say that there never had been a time'
when home manufactures bad more com
petition with importers than during the past
few years, when the import duties were not
equal to the individual taxes.
Mr. Hendricks thought the same power
that forced the representation in the Senate
might change it, though it was declared un
elnigeable. Equality, of representation in
the Senate would reduce New England to
ene-third her present number.
The six New England States had twelve
senators, with a population of three mil
lions and a half, while the six great agri
cultural. States of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
lovia, Missouri and Kentucky, with a pop
;dation of eight millions and a half, had
,einly twelve Senators. According to popu
lation, every man in Rhode Island was
equal to ten men in Indiana in the legisla
tion ofthe country. The Southern people
did all that a conquered people could do to
show their good faith, and now it was pro
posed to punish them by reduoing their
representation. • In this idea of punishment
the, gallant armies of the Union were not
represented. As a punishment , this
amendment could not be adopted ac
cording to the Constitution. It was an
4 1 . 7 post foactO LW, IP Southern people had
committed - a great . critne; but they had suf
fered the punishment of defeat, which was
the'severest known to belligerents.- If there
Was in The Senate a desire to amend. the
Constitution , from = motives of revenge, it
certainly %did not come from :the army.
Quoting from Mr. Feseenden's speech, Mr.
Hendricks said, for
the lirstlime in the his
tory of the Senate, it was proposed to do by
indirection what could not be done directly.
Indirection was a vice in anything. His
colleague (Mr. Lane) had come here to ativo
cate negro suffrage, but had never raised his
voice in favor of enfranchising the ten
thousand negroes in Indiana. Toe pending
amendment, he said, was a bribe held out to
the States. It was worse than force. It was
a bribe to them to increase their representa
tives/in Congress. He held that the two
races were so different that they ought not
to compose one political community. He
believed, with Mr. Douglas and President
Johnson, that this . was a white man's
government. There was a great deal said
about the part taken by the colored men in
putting down the rebellion, and there was a
great deal more said about it than was true.
The rebellion was put down by the white
soldiers of the country. [Applause in the
white gallery and hisses in the
colored gallery.] He was opposed to teeing
the laurels won by white soldiers worn
by the colored race. [Applause.] He hen
heard a great deal said a .nt the part taken
by the blacks in the atta - on Port Hudson,
r
but the truth was that t e blacks were not
at the front when the attack was being
made. He did not think his colleague (Mr.
Lane) would speak for negro suffrage on the
ground of the work done by negroes in the
war.
Mr. Hendricks was discussing the right of
Congress to regulate suffrage-for the State',
when Mr. Yates asked a question: Suppose
he (Mr. Yates) should go from Illinois to
Indiana to live, could the State legislation
of Indiana disfranchise him forever? It
might require residence of a certain numbAr
of years, but could it disfranchise him en
tirely?
Mr. Hendricks declined to answer, because
he knew the next question that would come
from the Senator from Illinois. It involved
a judicial question, which he proposed to
leave for the Supreme Court to decide.
Speaking of the President's policy, he said,
in so far as the President had labored to
bring the lately rebellious States into their
proper relations to the government, be en
dorsed him. His colleague and other Sena
tors had attacked the President fur his
appointment of provisional governors. He
believed the President did right in this.
He had the same right to appoint Governors
in these States that he had to appoint thetn
in territories.
Mr. Wade inquired how, if as was alleged
by Mr. Hendricks, the State governments
had not been overthrown in the South,thera
was any necessity for appointing Provi
sional Governors? The President certainly
could not appoint Provisional Governors
for Indiana and Ohio.
Mr. Hendricks said the rebellion had dis
turbed the relations bet:vee•i the States of
the South and the Union, and rendered tits
action taken by the President necessary.
He did not believe President Johnson could
establish a State government. All he could
do was to place the people in a condition to
act for themselves.
Mr. Howe—l will ask the Senator a q ne-i
Lion. What necessity was there for setting
aside the government of the people of South
Carolina, and authorizing the same people
to elect a new Governor? Has the Senator
any reason for supposing that the people
who elected Mr. Orr, in 1865, were dissatis
fied with the election they had made a
short time before of Mr. McGraw? If they
were not dissatisfied, where was the neces
sity for the President to authorize the same
people who had elected McGraw to elect a
new Governor?
Mr. Hendricks—Mr. President, that is not
precisely the point lam discussing. I shall
answer it, however. Governor McGraw was
a part of a political movement seeking to
establish a Southern Confederacy.
Mr. Howe—Now just there, what was the
name given to the crime which that in
volved? What was the legal punishment
for it?
Mr. Hendricks—l am not discussing that.
It goes before the Courts for discussion. I
might ask the Senator whether there can be
treason after belligerency has been recog
nized ? I am not going to be called off in
that . way. It is not fair to attempt to divert
a Senator from his argument by sometbing
that may be regarded us sharp or smart.
Mr. Howe rose, but Mr. Hendricks de
clined to yield the do r to him.
Mr. Hendricks—lt has nothing to do with
the validity of the State constitte ion whether
McGraw was a traitor or not. I ant aiwats
willing to be intsrruuted, but it must be vu
the subject I am discu.sr-ing.
Mr. Clark understood Mr. Hen iricks t
say that the act of the President app 'twin L;
Provisional Governors might uit tie vatid,
but where the people had acted tinier it
Elrod leaned a convention their acts were
valid. I want to inquire how it was that
after the people had elected a Governor in
some of these States the President still, in
defiance of what the people had done, kept
that provisional Governor in office, and re
fused to recognize the Legislature until It
had done certain things.
Mr. Hendricks—That is not the question
I am discussing. If the President attempted
to control the action of the Legislature,after
it had been fully organized, and after they
had elected a Governor pursuant to his plan
it was an act not justified under the circum
stances.
Mr. Hendricks next adverted to the ac
tion of Congress and of the Senate in recog
nizing the existence of the Southern States
since the commencement of the war, hold
ing that by repeated acts this recognition
had been made. In conclusion he spoke in
favor of immediate union.
M. Sherman asked Mr. Hendricks if it
was' not right to exact from the Representa
tives and Senators of Southern States the
same conditions exacted from Senators and
Representatives of loyal States?
Mr. Hendricks said he had answered that
question already, and continued his re
marks, alleging that the Republican Sena
tors on this floor demanded more blood.
Mr. Howard inquired of Mr. Hendricks
whether if he was an officer of the govern-
ment, charged with the execution of the
laws, he would put Jefferson Davis on trial
for complicity in the assassination of Mr.
Lincoln,if assumed by the Secretary of War
that such a charge was pending against
him. If so, upon what ground has he
(Mr. Bendriclis) the assurance to charge
honorable men here with thirsting for more
blood.
Mr. Hendricks said that if he were an
officer upon-whom the execution of the law
devolved in the vase suggested by Mr. How
ard, he would certainly order the trial of
Jefferson Davis before some court having
,competent jurisdiction; and if the court con
victed Into, would 'execute the sentence
against him. Mr. Howard had used one
word which, if he were twice as old as he is,
he (Mr. Hendricks) would' throw back to
him. Be had said it was assurance to speak
as he (Mr. Hendricks) bad been speaking.
He threw back 04-1 word to him. [Ap
plause. and hisses in the gallery.] lik e
(Mr. Howard) did not wish to be included
with otter Senators, he would exclude him;
but his language was parliamentary,and he
meant it as be used it when he spoke of
thirsting for' blood: He would referto his
colleague (Mr. Lane) as having said that he
demanded a felon's death for . the leaders of
the rebellion.
Mr: Lane interrupted Mr. Hendricks to
say that he demanded the death of no man
without a trial before one of the courts.
l At‘the conclusion of =Mr. Hendricks' re
marks,
Mr. Chandler rose and said: The senator
froth Indiana has referred to me as hutring
written a certain letter in 1861; it is not the
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1866.
fast time ' , have been arraigned for that. I
was arraigned first by the traitor John G.
Breckinridge. After I had given him his an
swer;jhe went out with the rebel ranks and
fought against our flag. I Was arraigned by
another Senator from Kentucky and by
otheii traitors, upon this floor, and lexpect
to, he arraigned again, I wrote that letter,
and Istund by the letter. What was there
in it? , What the position of the country
when; that letter was written? The De
mocratic party, as an organization,' had
arrayed itself against this govern
ment.! We had a Democratic ' trai
tor in the Presidential chair and a
Democratic traitor in every department or
the government. Democratic traitors ;were
preaching treason on this floor, and Demo
cratic.' traitors were preaching treason in this
hall of the house. Democratic traitors, were
in your army, and your navy. Democratic
traitors were controlling every department of
the goVernment. Your flag was fired upon
and with no response. The Democratio
party had ordained that this governtn, eal.
should be overthrown, and I, a Senator
from the State of Michigan, wrote to the
Governor of the State of Michigan "unless
you are prepared to shed blood for the pre
s*rvation of this great government, tn
government is overthroWn." Tllat is ad
there was in that letter. That I said and
that I say again, and I will tell the Senator
from Indiana that if he is prepared to gNI
down in history with the Democratic traitors
who then co-operated with him, I am pre
pared to go down upon that blood-letting
letter, and I stand by the record as there
made. [Applause a udhisses in the gallery.]
Ihe presiding officer (Mr. Pomeroy) called
the galleries to order.
Mr, Chandler continued. Mr. President,
what was the condition of this country when
that letter was written? You had a band of
Democratic traitors organized in this city as
"National Rifles," drilling every night for
an attempt to overthrow the government by
a mob. You had the Democratic traitor
Buchanan in command of your navy yard,
where all the munitions of war were stored,
and you had the Democratic traitor Robert
E. Lee in your War Department plotting
for the rebellion at that very moment, .an 3
now lam to be arraigned here as a blood
thirsty individual, because when these
Democratic traitors stood here in the halls
of this Senate and proclaimed that thi
government was overthrown, because I
then wrote to the Governor of my State that
unless be was prepared to shed blood for
the preservation of this government it lwas
overthrown. Now lamto be arraigned as
going down to be remembered in history as
blood-thirsty. Yes, sir, I am proud of the
name; may it stand as long as the govern
ment; when that Senator (Mr. Hendricks)
and the men who have co-operated with him,
shall have gone down to eternal infamy,
The remarks of Mr. Chandler were here
interrupted by loud demonstrations of ao •
plause and loud hisses in the galleries. Tu
presiding officer announced that if these
demonstrations were again attempted he
would have the galleries cleared.
Order having been restored, Mr. Chao -
dler said on some future occasion he would
reply to the accu-ations made against him
about the blood-letting letter. He would
not further trespass on the indulgence of the
Senate tc-day.
Mr. Trumbull moved that when !the
Senate adjourned to-day it be till noon on
Monday next, which was order&l.
After a brief explanation by Mr. Howe of
the questions put to Mr. Hendricks, whicb
that gentleman characterized as being asked
for the purpose of displaying a little aharp
nese' Mr. Yates took the floor, bat quitted
to Mr. Nesmith, Who moved to adjourn, but
gave way to Mr. Conness, who movedi to)
Executive session, which was held. Toe
Senate soon after adjourned.
House.—The House proceeded to tho
consideration of the Pennsylvania contested
election case of Alexander H. Coffroth and
William H. Koontz. The majority of the
Committee of Elections, Messrs. Upson.
Dawes, Baxter, Marshall and Radford; in
their report say that neither of the claimants
has any prima. facie right to the seat under
the Governor's proclamation, the certiticiat“
of the return judges. transmitted by Mr.
Coffroth as required by law, being the offi
cial certificate of his election, which, in the
omission apparent on the face of the Gover
nor's proclamation, would seem to prim
facie entitle him to a seat. The certitie4t
of Mr. Koontz being signed, as was seen,
persons not legal return judges, is of °owe,
wholly illegal and void.
The Committee further say that when a
contest on the merits of the facts may h.-
fully developed, if any legal notes are fount
to have been omitted in the court, full en ;
final justice may then be done both to tt ••
voters and to the respective claimants. B;i
until such an investigation is had, the elm
rnittee on the question of a prima facie rigid
to a seat, feel constrai"ed to abide by those
precedents and rules of law which expe
rience bas proved to be safest guides in
weighing and determining impartially ques
tions of this nature.
The minority of the committees—Messrg.
Paine, McClurg,Shellaborger and Schotiohl,
combat the views advanced by the majority,
and say that the two certificates of election
purporting to have been addressed each by
a district board to the claimants respectively,
are probably both regular in form, but
neither can support a prima facie claim t
the contested Eeat. For the reasons related
by them, the Coffroth f i eturn was on its flee
worthless as a return upon which to base
the Governor's proclamation. It by no
means permits him to base his proclamation
in part on the return and in part on evidence
obtained aliunde. For the same reason
they must, if they do not go behind the re
turn to inquire who were the loyal distt ct
judges, give the seat to Mr. Koontz, on his
return alone.
Mr. Upson addressed the House in sup
port of the majority report, and Mr. Painr
in behalf of the views of the minority.
The subject was postponed until Monday.
Mr.Orthand.) asked leave to offer a resolu
tion that the Committee`pbn Reconstruction
report an ameudment to the Constitution,
that no person who has held a civil or mili
tary office under the late so-called Confed
eracy shall ever be eligible to hold an office
of honor or emolument under the govern
ment of the United States,but objection was
made.
Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) presented a petition,
numerously signed by citizens of Pennsyl
vania, praying that the specific tax. of one
dollar a barrel levied on crude petroleum
may be changed to a moderate tax, to 'be
rated by a per centage upon sales at the
mills, as being lesas oppressive and mere
easily assessed and collected. Referred to
the Committee on Ways and Means.
Mr. Darling (N.Y.) presented•the petition
of assistant assessors of internal revenue, of
the Ninth District of New York for increase
of pay. Referred to the Committee lof
Ways and Means.
The Rouse took up the Senate bill pro
viding for the exhibition of mineral speci
mens of the United States in the Patent
Office building, the Secretary of the Interior
being authorized to prepare suitable cases
for the same, and referred it to the Coin
niittee on Mines and Mining.
After further proceedings the House ad
journed.
Mr. Newell (N. J.), in the speech which
he delivered in part last night, defended the
political character of the President, and
maintained that the framers of the Cotui
tution designed all men to be free a
equal. This could not be carried out at the
early period because of the existence lof
slavery. The emancipation proclamatinn
makes citizens of those who have been let
free, which involves the right of suffrage.
States have no power to secede, and the;•e
fore bone are out of the Union. . He called
on the Reconstfuction Cornratitee to repirt
in favor of adinitting Tennessee and other
Statts sending loyal representatives. I
