SISIXTII CONGRESS-FE ST SESSION WASHINGTON, Mar ch 10. . HOUSE.—The House sat will 'Committee of the Whole, nothing beinz7lir order but a r t general debate on the Presitin message. The attendance of 'members W ' Tall, but the galleries were well filled. . : Mr. Orth addressed the House, defending Congress from the charge of dilatoriness in legislation. The unmeaning and senseless clamor for speedy action came, he said, from those whose hearth bad not been on the side of the country, during, the war. • Slowly, nrely and deliberately Congress would pursue its work, - Aetermined to do it right, regardless of clamor, abuse or vituperation; he held- that -the.-legislative branch of the general goVernment was alone clotheil With authority to recognize: State goVerninents, and this was in accordance with the Views of the people. The Union party of Indiana had recently given expression to that senti ment in their State Convention. The people were determined that traitors shall be pun ished and treason made odious; that these words should be • a living reality, words of power and majesty, and not a mere figure of, rhetoric, or a feeble promise made to the ear but broken to the hope: The people would never forget the public man, 'what ever his position, who should endeavor to bug treason or traitors to his bosom, turn his back on those who elevated him to power and forget in his delirium of- that power the sacred principles on which he was'elevated. Re proceeded to show that the reconstructed States gave no evidence of loyalty to the go vernment. Referring to:the test oath he de clared that the last traitor in the South should sleep the sleep of death before the statute book should be dishonored. Mr. Stevens next obtained the floor. He commenced by apologizing to the House for the tameness of the remarks which he in tended to make. It would be remembered that at the . opening of the session, he had - made some remarks on the condition of the country, which had been replied to by the gentleman from New York (Raymond), and the gentleman from Ohio (Delano). A recess had followed immediately, and when Congr4ss reassembled for business on the Bth of 'January, he had prepared some re ply, and had obtained the floor for the pur pose of making it; but on that occasion the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. La tham) desired to make a speech, and he yieldea him the floor, and had never since been 'able to obtain it for general debate, but as this was a school for debate, and as it had - been intimated to him that his turn had come, he had dug up the old manu script, and although its contents wererather tame, and had been all said by himself or others since, he did not wish to lose the paper, and would read now what he had prepared for that occasion. [Laughter.] Mr. Stevens went on to read his manu script, which was devoted to strengthening his, position in regard to the status of the rebel States. Referring to the position which some journals had assigned him of inistility to the President, he said that those journals had done him too much honor and he would now say once for.all, that insteadi of feeling personal animosity to the Presi dent, he felt great respect for him; he honored his integrity, his patriotism, his courage and his good intentions. He (the President) had stood too firmly for , the Union in the midstof danger and sacrifice to allow him (Mr. Stevens) to doubt the.purity of his wishes, but all this did not make him less free to doubt his judgment and •to criticise his policy. When he deemed the President's views erroneous he shciuld say so. When he deemed them dangerous he should denounce them. While he could have no hostility to the Pre sident, he might have, and did have, - very grave:objections to the course which he was pursuing. He should have forgotten the obloquy which he had calmly borne for thirty_ years in the war for liberty if he should turn craven now. Mr. Price—l ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania whether there must not be soine,mistake in this matter? When I heft'. him speak in such warm terms of the Pre sident, and when I remember that the pub lic press of the country has been for the last few, weeks using the name of a certain Thaddeus Stevens as having been men tioned by the President in a speech in front of the White House; and now when I bear the gentleman, whom I supposed to be the Thaddeus Stevens referred to, speak in such streng terms in favor of the President, I want to hear him say whether he is the same person or some other. [Laughter.] Mr. Stevens Mr. Speaker ; does the learned gentleman from lowa suppose for a single moment, that the speech which I pre sume he refers to as having been made in front of the White Honse was an actual fact? [Laughter.] I desire now to put the gentleman right. What I am now going to say, however, I do not wish to be reported. It is a confidential communication [laugh ter], and I presume that nobody will violate the confidence which I repose in him. Sir, that speech which was imposed upon the gentleman from lowa, and which has had a cot siderable run, and has made some im pression on the public mind, was one of the grandest hoaxes that have ever been per petrated, and more successful than any except the "moon hoax," which, I ant told, deceived many astute astronomers. [Laugh ter;] I 'am now glad of an opportunity. although ,I do not wish it to go out publicly, lest my motive might be misunderstood, of exonerating the President from ever hav ing made that speech. [Laughter.] It is a part of the cunning contrivance of the cop perheadyarty, 'which has been proscribing our President since the 4th of March last. Taking advantag;e of an unfortunate inch dent which happened on that occasion, they have been ever since constantly denouncing him as addicted to low and degrading vices. To show you that. and in order to prove the truth of what I say about this hoax, I send up to be read --- aTpart &that slander taken from the New - York liroricl of March 7th, .1865. The foll Owing extract was read by the clerk ; "The drunken and :beastly Caligula, the most profligate: of the. Roman emperors, raised his horse to the dignity of consul, an office that in former times had been ,filled by the greatest, warriors and statesmen of the republic, the Scipios and Catos, and by the mighty nimself. The consulship was scarcely more disgraced by that scandalous transaction than is oar Vice ' Presidency by Vie late election of Andrew Johnson: ~That office had t been adorned in better tiavB "liy - the talents and ac - coraplishments of Ld.ams and Jefferson, Clinton and Gerry,_ Calhoun and Van Buren; sad now to see it filled by this' insolent, drunken brute, in compari son with whom even Caligula's' horse was respectable, for the poor animal" , did not abuse his own nature; and to think that only one frail life stands between this"in solvent, clownish drunkard and the Pre sidency, may God bless and spare Abraham Lincoln." Mr. Niblack—l beg to• inquire whether. that may not be also a hoax, in the same way as the President's speech was. 10.._ Stevens—That was a serious slander inserted in the New York World. Taking advantage of an incident which it is thought by,many was brought about ,by them seh-o,.they:hhviibeen ever since perscut ini,lum With such slanders as that; but,sir, although the, have, asserted it from time to time, the3r, have. never made the loyal Reptiblican,people , of this nation . believe it, and - thEiynevercan. We never credit it, - and lank with,hadignation on - the slander thritkutftired against the ,President of, our choice. [Ltinghtei.], 'Being unable to :fix such ,cdiuin np'on out' 'President 'bydirect; evidence„ they, bring in evidence aliahcle. with the skill er a Pt*tjea l advocate: in a casedelttatico . i2igyerendO; where the out= sides t evidence was cloulttful, they Cautiously . lead the subject ofitlieinquiry to—speak on the question;:.of his hallucination, :and - it they,cau , Eet kixvi tvgakble..And -tall ' a. sense, then the hatrinsic,•evidence in the case is made out. [Laughter.] Now, if these slariderers could make the people believe, that, the President ;ever uttered ,that speech; then they have made out their . case. [Cow.: tinned laughter.] But we know that he never did utter it.:; ,It ishot possible; and I am - glad of this opportunity to relieve him,':from that odium, but . they had wrought it up in such a cunning way— • Mr. Winfield, interrupting—May I hope tha; the injunction of secrecy will be re moved' from this earnest and sincere de- Mr. Stevens [with - a - comic seriousness of manner that irresistibly provoked laugh ter]-oh, I hope not, sir; I hope the gentle man will riot violate the confidence which I "have placed in him and all others in this confidential communication. Now, Mr. Speaker,they worked it up pretty cunningly --enough to impose on the people; for in stance, they went into circumstantial ac counts, as in the moon hoax;they pretended that the counsel of the assassins of the late President supported him, and escorted him to the stand on which they say .he stood in front of the White House, and they also pretended that he was supported by a late rebel major, who was furnished gratui tously' with ' lodgings in one of our penal forts for some time. All these circum stances they threw about it. The people may have been deceived, but we who know the President knew it was a lie from the start. [Laughter.] Now,for having shown my friend that all the foundation for that thing was fallacious, I trust he will allow me still to occupy the same friendly position to the President which I have occupied here tofore. Mr. Price (Iowa)—I am satisfied that the House and the country will agree with me that that was a mistake, and a very great mistake. Although I have not lived in the world so long as the honorable gentlemen from Pennsylvania, yet I have found that history cannot always be depended upon. But for this accidental occurrence that speech would have gone down to history as a fact, and the present or succeeding generations might never have discovered the mistake thus opportunely exposed. Mr. Stevens then resumed the reading of his manuscript. Speaking of the contest between the President and Congress,he said there was but one Union paper in the coun try that opposed the policy of Congress. Every/paper in his own State, except one hermaphrodite concern in Philadelphia,and one belligerent paper in Harrisburg, edited by the postmaster , sustained Congress; and so did every Republican in his State, who was not an applicant for office. He did not speak of New York in that connection, for be did not know much about her. No one did, except Secretary Seward,who professed to understand her. But every paragraph in the New York papers landing the Presi dent was but the outcrop of an official ad vertisement. At the close of his speech he said he had delivered it on the same principle as the late President had sent in a veto message to a bill which he had already signed—because he had written the veto, and thought it well done. So he allowed this speech of his to be cast upon the surges of this turbulent de bate. Mr. Goodyear N. Y.) next addressed the House in support of the President's policy, as against that of Congress. Speaking of negro soldiers, he remarked that mach as had been said upon the subject, negroes had joined the army, not from patriotism, but for the sake of bounty or other inducements. Mr. Grinnell ;lowa took exception to that statement, and instanced the fact that in the State of lowa more than three hundred black men had joined the army the first opportu nity they had, without any promise of bounty. He understood that the same was the fact in regard to the whole Northwest, and wished the gentleman to place that iu his speech as a jewel to set it off, is it was susceptible of improvement. Mr. Goodyear—Then we are informed that out of a population of four millions, three hundred men, living in a free State. were induced to join the army by the same inducements that were offeredto white men. lam willing the gentleman shall have the benefit of that statement. Mr. Grinnell—l wish to state this farther fact, that General Thomas enlisted over twenty thousand black men without the promise of bounty. The:State of Kentucky alone had credited to her over twenty-five thousand black men, who now, if they go back there, forfeit, under her laws, the guns which they carried during the war, and are liable to a fine of five dollars for carrying them. Mr. Goodyear resumed his speech where he bad been interrupted, and spoke for over an hour. He was followed by Mr. Ashley (Nevada), who rated Congress for its action in reference to the Sout n tiern States. He believed the time would come when those States, whether dead or not now, would have life enough to secure the admission of their representatives into Con gress. He knew that to be so. Gentlemen might delude themselves with the idea that they could continue this system of excluding he Southern States, but he would tell them that even those men who had been in the ranks of the Union party during the war would not always consent to be voting against reconstruction. He wished, to have some steps taken immediately for the ready admission of the Southern States. He was satisfied that many of the measures passed by Congress could not be carried out, and he was sure that the President was right in • vetoing the Freedmen's Bureau bill. It would not be long before a majority of the American people would' - vote that the States could not be ruled as conquered provinces; that the people resident there must be left to control their own local State governments. He did not care whether men had been in the rebellion or not. If Congress objected to their sitting here as representatives, they should be brought before the courts and punished. If they were not fit to be citizens or to be trusted with political power, they should lie tried and imprisoned or executed. These people had been already punished by the destruction of that institu ' lion on Which all their material interests hinged. , The President had been denounced as a traitor because he was not willing to attempt to force negro suffrage on the people all over the country, The President had always stood upon that ground, and he. (Mr. Ashley) was one of those who did not believe :that the negroes wore lit to vote. They had during the rebellion lent some material aid , to the, government, and for that they had Veen. well rewarded by getting their free dom. He :was: in - favor of that, and of opening up to them the chances of education and improvement, and ultimately of obtain ing political rights; but this should not be insisted on now. A proposition to adjourn being made at the close of Mr. Ashley's speech, the Chair than stated thatit was quite doubtful, with theaccOmulation of public business, whether more than another Saturday could be deVoted to`general - debate. • = ,Holmes (N. Y.) next addressed the* House on the question of the reconstruction of the rebel. States, advocating the course of. Congre.ss• as against that. of the President,. Who he said had:successfully met the oppo, sition (the Democratic party), but could not outliVe its political support: - He did not on the whole regret the course that had been taken by the President, bedause it :gave to. the. people of the Southern States an opportu , pity to show to the, world what theywould do if they were again. intrusted: with unre stricted power.: If_thev had permitted loyal ' then-to go: to the pollsi - then :Congress might have heen deceived:. - , , Now: Congress had,no excise for shutting ,its eyes • , agaihst - evie denees of dieloyalty.so, apparent as that . he. 'who , runs might read .The President had lahared patriotically and carnestlyto !King -about , abetterstate of .2.ffairs, .had tint, been k4eeod,,iik Any great:degree, T e 139 ed hQ THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN; PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 12,1866 bad "scattered had fallen on stony ground, and`had produced a very inconsiderable crop of loyalty. Who was to determine whether the impaired vitality , and suspended functions of the Southern States, whioh , the' President had spoken of hid message to Congress, ' were restored? Had Congress 'nothing to do with it, except to pass, each Houee for itself, on the certificates of elec tion for members clainfing seats in such House? In his judgment the decision of that question rested with the law-making power, and required the sanction and assent of.the entire- law -making. power of the go vernment. No other - way could the rule be uniform. Separate and independent action, might leave one rule prevailing in this House, another rule in the Senate,:and still another with the Executive Department. The Southern. States were entitled to fall and absolute recognition by each of the de partments of the government, or else they were not entitled to recognition by either. If asked when these States should be ad mitted to representation on th's floor, his answer would be, when , their governments are republican and their people loyal, and when they send loyal men to represent them. There should be not only loyal re presentatives but loyal constituenciesbehind them; and no person should, with his con sent, ever hold office under the government of the United States who had in any way voluntarily aided the rebellion. The House then adjourned. H. STEEL & SON OTRE ANTIQUES, COLORED STLKS, CB ENE SITES, PLA_LN POULT DE Sams, FIGURED SILKS, BLACK GROS GRAIN SILKS, LYONS TAFFETAS, TAFFETA PARISLENNES.
