XXXIXth CONGRESIL-FIRST SESSION' WASHINGTON, AtarchlC SENATE.—Mr. Trumbull (Ili.) reported the civil rights bill from the Judiciary Committee, - with a re commendation that it pass. 'Mr. Davis (Ky) obJected tS its immediate recon sideration and it goes over. , A. joint resolution was passed to, distribute 12,500 among the sufferers by the Late arsenal explosion, ten In number. Mi. Davis offereda resolution.that the committee on Reconstruction ought to take the testimony of a rea sonable number of persons whose' names may be sug gested by , tenators and Representatives from said States. The present consideration was objected to. A t o'clock the regular army bill was taken up. Hoosz.—Mr. Wilson (Iowa). from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported back the Senate Bill in relation to the Court of Claims, with the following amend ment, wan additional section : • ' That at the end of each term of the Court of Claims, the Clerk of the said Court shall transmit a copy of the decisions thereof to the heads of the Departmentn, the Solicitor, Comptroller. and Auditor of the Trettry, the Commissioners of the General Land ,Office and of Indian Affairs, the Chief of the Bureaus and other officers, charged with adjusting claims against the United States. • The amendment wan; agreed to, and ithe bill so • amended was passed. • Mr. Spalding (Ohio) 'obtained' leave to make a per sonal explanation. He observed, by the report in the Globe, that the joint resolution,ewhlch he had intro duced last 'Monday, touching the taxation of the on tional currency, bad been characterized by the g•entie • man from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) as "rank repo diation." Nothing could be 'further from his (Mr Spalding's) mind than •to infringe ripen the nations credit, which •he regarded as he did the apple of his eye. The object of his iesolution was simply to permit greenbacks to be taxed In his State just as State bank notes have been heretofore taxed there. He did not intend his Joint resplution to apply to the interest , bearing bonds of the Government. Mx. Stevens (Pa.) confessed that when he made the remark complained of. he was not aware of the pre cise object of the joint resolution, and had only fol lowed the lead of the distinguished gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Wentworth) whom he was always happy to follow. [Laughter.) He found ,-bowever, that the resolution was entirely different from what be had thought, and of coarse his 11 mark was entirely inapplicable. Mr. Donnelly (Minn.). by unanimous consent, Intro • doced a bill granting lands to the State of Minnesota, for the establishment of an asylum for the relief of disabled soldiers and salloraz The bill was read twice end referred to the Con mittee on Publici.ands. The House resumed, as the business of the morning hour, the bill reported yesterday by McCook., from the Committee on the Judiciary amendment to the act of March pi, ises s relating to the habeas corpus and regu lating ;ndictal proceedings in certain cases. The substitute reported by the Committee, proposes to enact that "any search, seizure, arrest or imprison ment made or other trespasses or wrongs done or committed or any acts omitted to be done during the rebellion by any officer or person under and by virtue of any order, written or verbal, general or special, Issued by any military pincer of the United States holding the command of Department, district or place w• thin which such seizure, search. arrest or imprisonment was made, done or committed, or any acts were so omitted to be Cone either by the person or officer to whom the order Is addressed, or by any other person al.:Ungar assisting him therein, shall be held and axe declared to come within the purview of the act to which this is amendatory and within the purview of the fourth, filth and sixth sections of the said act for all the purposes of defence. transfer, appeal, error or limitation provided therein. The other sections of the bill relate to the defence to be made in such judicial proceedings. Mr. Cook (Ill.) explained and advocated the bill. It embraced, be said, two principles, which were also embraced in the habeas corpus act 01 2,33, approved and signed by President. Jackson. These were first that the United States shall protect its officers in executing its laws and maintaining its authority; and second, that tne question whether an officer was acting under the authority of the United states. shall be held in the (hurts of the United States. These two principles he conceived could not be surrendered. without surrendering th e power of the American Government. He moved to recommit the bill, Mr. Harding (Ky.) opposed the bill and made a speech to show bow It could be used to protect the most despotic and outrageous acts of United States officers or soldiers. The morning hour having expired before the close of Mr. Harding's mucks, the bill went over till to; morrow. r ." 71M '. 71 Mr. Pike (Me.) asked leave to introduce the follow ing resolution : fFherras.
