30C2U;ILth Congress—First Session.
CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS
'SENATE.—Mr. Howard asked that the
Committee'on the Pacific Railroad be dis
charged from the further consideration of a
. bill to aid in the construction of the southern
'branch of the Pacific Railroad, on the
ground that the committee are of opinion
. that no farther pecuniary obligations ought
to be assumed by the government to aid in
4, the construction of the branches of the Union
Pacific Railroad. The committee was dis
charged, as requested.
Mr. Howard, from the Committee on the
Pacific:Railroad reported a joint resolution
to extend the time of completing the first
twenty miles of the Western Pacific Rail
road to the" first of January, 1867..
Mr. Wilson called up the the joint resold
ton requesting the President to procure
three valuable gold medals, with suitable
devices, one to be presented to Capt. Creigh
ton, of the ship Three Bells, of Glasgow; one
to Capt. Low, of the bark Cilby, of Boston,
and one to Capt. Stouffer, of the:ship Ant
arctic, as testimonials of national gratitude
for their gallant conduct in rescuing about
'- five hundrod 'Americans from the wreck of
the steamship San Francisco, and that the
cost of the same be paid oat of any money
in the treasury not otherwise' appropriated.
Mr. Johnson offered an amendment that
a sum not exceeding fifty thousand dollars
be appropriated to enable. the President to
reward in such manner, as be may deem
most aPPrOpriate to the officers and crews
• of those vessels that aided in the rescue of
the survivors from the wreck of the San
Francisco, and such others as distinguished
themselves by offices of heroism and hn
manity on that occasion.
The amendment was agreed to, and the
joint resolution as amended was passed. •
The act amendatory of an act in relation
to the habeas corpus was taken up. This
bill'grants indemnity to officers of the army
for acts committed in aid of the suppression
of the rebellion, and exempts them from
liability to civil courts for such acts.
The pending question was upon the
amendment of Mr. Edmunds (Vt.), that the
provisions of the act shall not apply to acts
committed in States represented in Congress
during the rebellion, and in which the
habeas corpus was not suspended.
The yeas and nays were demanded on the
adoption of the amendment. Yr A 4 — Messrs.
Buc.kalew, Cowan, Doolittle, Edmunds,
Guthrie, Hendricks, Johnson, McDougall,
Nesmith and Saulsbury, 10. NAYS—Messrs.
Anthony, Chandler, Clark, Conness,Cragin,

sits) Morgan. Nye, Pomeroy, Ramsay,Sher
man, Stewart, Sumner, Trumbull, Van
Winkle,Wade, Willey, Williams, Wilson
and Yats, 29.
Mr. Saulsbury moved to amend the bill
by striking out the following section: SEC.
4. And be it further enacted, That if the
State Court shall, notwithstanding the per
formance of all things required for the re
moval of the case to the Circuit Court afore
said, proceed further in said cause or prose
cution. before said certificate is produced,
then, in that case, all such further proceed
irigs shall be void and of none effect,and all
parties, judges, officers and other persons
thenceforth proceeding thereunder, or by
color thereof, shall be liable in damages
therefor to the party aggrieved, to be re
covered by action in a court of the State
having proper jurisdiction, or in a Circuit
Court of the United States for the district in
which such further proceedings may have
been had or where the party,officer or other
person so offending shall be found, and
upon a recovery of damages in either court
the party plaintiff shall be entitled to double
costs.
Mr. Saulsbury, in a few remarks on the
above, said that if he were a judge he would
_pay no attention to the bill, believing it to
be unconstitutional.
Mr. Clarke—Mr. President, I would net
take notice of the remarks of the Senator
from Delaware, but this is the second time
he has made such remarks. He said the
same thing in reference to the Civil Rights
bill. If it be seen that the rebel spirit which
defies the nation in the person of judges
and others has crept into the Senate of the
United States and shown itself here, the
morethe necessity for the bill which we
propose to pass. "I would not yield to
that authority." So said the rebels, sir;
and now, when the war is over, the Senator
from Delaware stands up and repeats that
he would not yield to the authority of the
United States. It is time, sir, that this
should be done with. It is time that the
Senator (Mr. Saulsbury) should understand
that the authority of the 'United States will
be supreme, whether it concerns a Senator
or the merest rebel soldier. This govern
ment must be obeyed. It is not worth
.having if it cannot cause itself to be obeyed.
Mr. Saulsbury—l cannot possibly imag
ine anything I have said that should call
for the very unbecoming remark of the
.Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Clark).
Who is he that he should attempt to lecture
A Senator of this body? Sir, I assigned a
reason why, if I was a judge, I should not
• carry out the provisions of the law, because
I believe it to be unconstitutional. What
did I say about resisting the authority of
- the Federal Government, except in the in
terpretation of an act of Congress if I were
:sitting in a judicial capacity. Was there
Anything discourteous to any member of
this body—anything disrespectful to the
authority of the government of the 'United
States in such a declaration? Sir—The idea
did not enter into my mind at the time. I
stated a fact that, sitting as ajudge, and be
lieving. the act to be without a constitutional
authority, I should feel compelled to exe
cute the law of my State. When the Sena
tor (Mr.. Clark) gets up ,here and insinuates
rebellion and rebellious spirit to me, I have
• only this to say, that there is nothing in
that Senator mentally, morally, physically
or otherwise, that gives him the right to use
' insolent language.).
• Mr. Clark—Mr. President, I desire to use
no insolent language. I shall not be dis
courteous to the Senator from Delaware, or
any other Senator. I hope I shall not be
discourteous to the Senate of the United
States; I hope I shall not be discourteous to
the government of the United States, but
when the Senator from Delaware, or any
other Senator, shall rise repeatedly, time
after time, and say here, in the presence of
the Senate, that he will not obey the autho
iity of the United States, it is time,. with
due deference to him, that the spirit—not
the Senator, but the spirit of rebellion which
- .creeps out in that way, should be rebuked.
I claim nothing morally; I claim nothing
physically; I claim nothing mentally; but
I de claim to love my country, and, God
helping me, I will contend against
ether r bellion to the bitter end of it, w in
the Senator from Delaware or in him who
is now confined in Fortress Monroe. Sir,
we have had too much trouble from this
spirit already. If the men who have been
'engaged in the rebellion accept the
e Atta
in
ti n, let them accept, sir, but let not the
s e opposition and spirit which begat the
re be manifested in the Senate of the
'United States. We owe it to the people of
the United States who have stood by us
through this rebellion, that this Senate
should be free from expressions of the kind.
If the Senator from Delaware rejoices that
this rebellion has been put down, let him
put e ry the spirit which produced the re
belli , and accede to the authority of the
gen al government.
Mr. Saulsbury—l shall not continue this
controversy here; I simply rise to repeat
that there was nothing in the remark that I
made to cause any member of this body to
say that I would oppose the authority of the
Pederal or State Governments. I said that,
sitting as a judge, and being called upon to
act, if thia act was produced before me, I
Gould not recognize it as constitutional law,
it was simply an expression of opinion. It
never occurred to me, sir, that there was an
intellect in this country so obtuse as for one
moment could suppose there was any
spirit of defiance to authority, any rightful
authority of this Government, State
or Federal, in what I said.
The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr.'
Clark) to exhibit his own patriotism, has
chosen to indulge in language unbecoming
this place, and which I trust he will not re
peat. Of one thing he may be assured, sir,
that while I wish to cultivate kindly
i rela
tions with members of this body,both n the
Senate and out of it, no imputation upon
my just and proper devotion to my Govern
ment will be submitted to, and I would ask
the Senator from New Hampshire is the
future to be more cautious in the use of lan
guage. •
The time is gone by when sensible men
indulged in reflections - upon the' motives of
others, simply because they may differ in
their political views or in their interpreta
tion in reference to a statute, whether State
or Federal. Now, sir, I have sought no
controversy with.that Senator or any other,
and hereafter, as in the past, if I believe
that an act is unconstitutional,l will say so;
and I have as much confidence in, my own
judgment in - reference to questions of that
character as I have in the judgment of the
Senator from New Hampshire.
Mr. Clark—Mr. President, I have heard
the Senator's remarks, and I do not bate a
jot or tittle from what I have said. I meant
no disrespect to the Senator, butsimply to
rebuke a spirit manifested here. If I have
occasion to say again what I have said, II
shall certainly say it.
Mr. Saulsbury's amendment gave rise to
a lengthy discussion, participated in by
Messrs. Trumbull, Doolittle, Williams,
Clark and Howard.
Mr. Doolittle moved to amend theamend-
Ment by striking out the word "judges"
after the words "all parties."
Mr. Cowan discussed the judicial author
ity conferred by the Constitution upon the
Federal Government. This Government,
he said, was a government of delegated
powers, although many who came here as
'Senators affected to sneer and snicker at the
assertion. That could not be helped. as
there was nothing in the Constitution to
prevent a man from making a fool of him
self. He thought it was about time for a
whip to cease to crack over the heads of the
minority in the Senate. It was about time
for the minority to be freed from the tyranny
of the majority here. Mr. Cowan theii ar
gued to snow that the jurisdiction of the
cases provided for in the bill belonged to the
State Government and not to the Federal
government.
Mr. Johnson, in the course of his remarks
adverted to the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus in the late rebellion, and the
trial of citizens before military commis
sions. He believed that the rebellion could
not have been put down without the sus
pension of the habeas corpus. He also be
lieved that the President had the right to
suspend it, but in this belief he differed
from the late Chief Justice, who held that
Congress alone could suspend it. Referring
to the trial of citizens by military commis
sions he said he maintained now,-a,s he
maintained before the commission which
tried the assassins of the President, that they
were illegal and unconstitutional. He cited
the case of an officer who caused the whip--
ping to death of a soldier, by order of a
court-martial, for the crime of mutiny, and
was hung twenty years afterwards for doing
so. The decision by which this officer was
executed had never been reversed in Eng
land.
Mr. Doolittle's amendment was disagreed
o.
The question was next taken on Mr.
Saulsbury's amendment to strike out the
fourth section.
The amendment was disagreed to.
Mr. Edmunds moved to amend the first
section by providing that in all suits against
officeis referred to in the act, the Govern
inentof the United States shall pay all the
damages and costs. Disagreed to.
Mr. Howe offered an amendment making
it the duty of the Attorney General and the
District Attorneys to defend all officers in
the United States Courts sued in the cases
alluded to in the bill. Disagreed to.
Mr. Hendricks moved to amend the fol
lowing clause of the first section: But no
such order shall be a defence to any suit or
action for any act done or omitted to be
done after the passage of this act, by adding
the words: "Nor for any act done with ma
lice. cruelty or unnecessary severity."
Adopted; yeas 18, nays 16.
Mr. Doolittle offered an amendment to the
first section to the effect that the order of a
superior officer shall constitute, in those
States and Territories where martial law
has not been declared,or where the adminis
tration of civil law has not been interrupted,
a prima facie defence, and in case it shall be
made to appear that such person acted un
der such order not maliciously or oppres
sively, such defence shall be conclusive.
Mr. Doolittle subsequently withdrew his
amendment.
Mr; Saulsbury demanded the yeas and
nays on the passage of the bill.
The bill passed—yeas 30; nays 4—Messrs.
Buckalew, Guthrie, Hendricks and Sauls
bury.
Adjourned until Monday.
HOUSE.—Mr. Washburn (I 11.) offered a
resolution, which was adopted, directing the
Secretary of War to communicate to the
House the report of the mixed Board of En
gineers and Naval Officers, of which Com
modore Latimer was President, and Majors
Chase, Bernard and Beauregard were mem
bers, in 1851 or 1852, and the report of Major.
Beauregard, in 1852 or 1853, relative to the
success of operations bf a towboat company
in deepening the Southwest Passes, as per
contract.
The bill reported on Thursday, appropriat
ing $115,000 for deficiencies in the public
printing—s4so,ooo for paper, and $95,000 for
binding was passed.
The House then proceeded to the consi
deration of the bill to reorganize and estab
lish the army of the United States, the
pending question being on Mr. Thayer's
amendment to the thirteenth section, relat
ing to the Adjutant-General's Department.
Mr. Schenck moved to amend the section
by adding to it the following proviso—Pro
vided, Nothing in this section shall be con
etrued to vacate the commission of any
officer now commissioned as assistant adju
tant general, but only to change the title to
adjutant in the case of those who rank as
lieutenant-coldnels or majors, without
affecting in any way, their relative positions
or the time from which they take such rank.
Mr.Blaine(Me.)spoke against the proposi
tion of the, Military Committee to changt
the nomenclature of assistant adjutant
generald to adjutants, arguing that there was
good •reasons for the distinction that had
grown up.
The debate was continued at considerable
length by Messrs. Thayer and Davis against
the section as reported by the Committee on
Military Affairs,
,and by Mr. Schenck in
support of it.
Mr. Davis commented upon the remarks
of Mr. Schenck yesterday, reflecting on offi
cers in the Adjutant-General's Department.
Mr. Schenck challenged him to point to a
single phrase or sentence in his remarks re
flecting upon the officers of any department.
Mr. Davis suggested that he had accused
them of shirking the responsibility of active
service during the war.
Mr. Schenck denied that he had used any
such language, but he would say now that
while the greater part of those officers em
ployed in Washingtonwould have preferred
to be on active duty in the field, he believed
there were others who were here because
they preferred to have places in the Depart
ment rather than active service in the
field.
Mr. Schenck's amendment was agreed to.
Also, another amendment offered by him,
striking out the words "after the "first ap.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHIL ADF.LPHIA. SATURDAY. APRIL 21:1866.
pointments made under the provisions of this
section."
The debate was closed by the previous
question, and the house was brought to a vote
on Mr. Thayer's substitute for the thirteenth
section. The vote was taken by yeas and
nays, and resulted, yeas, 69; nays; 39. The
substitute was adopted.
The thirteenth section, as thus amended,
reads: •
Sec. 13. And be it farther enacted, That
the Adjutant's General's Department shall
hereafter consist of the officers now author
ized by law, and their rank 'shall be as fol
lows, namely: one adjutant general, with
the rank, pay, and emoluments of a briga
dier general; four assistant adjutant gene
rals, with the rank, pay, and emoluments
of colonels of cavalry; five assistant adjutant
generals, with the rank, pay, and emolu
ments of lieutenant colonels; and ten assist-,
ant *adjutant generals, with the rank, pay,
and emoluments of a major of cavalry.
The House proceeded to the consideration
of the fourteenth section, mregard toinspee
tors general of the army.
Mr. Schenck (Onio) said he supposed the
committee would' find, in reference to,this
section, that it would have the same oppo
sition and difficulty from officer's expe
rienced in reference to the last section. He
wished the House and the country to know
the fact..' In the thirteenth section the com
mittee had proposed to retain all these offi
cers in the Adjutant General's Department,
and even to , give them more rank than they
ever had before. But the House was die
satisfied with that, and had increased the•
rank of two captains in the Adjutant Gene
ral's Bureau , to that of colonel. The House.
thus declared that the committee was
wrong, and that the gentlemen who use
their influence at the other end of the aye
nue. were right. He had thought 'that the
war being over, and the army being pared
down, these officers should not be, at all
events, increased in rank, but he found that
not only were the same- number of officers
that were sufficient when there were my
riads of men in the field to be retained, but
they were to have more rank. He was de
termined that that should be understood by
the House and by the country. He had
known perfectly well that when the Bu
reaus were affected the committee would
meet opposition. He knew that the per
sonal, official and social influence that sur
rounded this House would make it very
difficult to effect any reformation of a
Bureau.
Mr. Thayer rose to repel the imputation
conveyed in the language of the Chairman
of the Military Committee. He would leave
the House and the country to judge of the
good taste of the scolding which the Chair
man of that committee had given to the
House for daring to differ with him on a
subject under consideration in the House.
That gentleman had spoken of the influence
of bureaus and of personal influence. He
(Mr. Thayer) discharged his duty here un
der a conscientious sense of the obligation
that he owed to his country and his con
stituents. He was not the agent of any bu
reau or department, but was quite as inde
pendent, politically or personally, of every
bureau and department of the government
as was the Chairman of the Military Com
mittee. If that gentleman would discharge
his duty with the same absence of .personal
motive and personal aim, he would satisfy
the utmost expectations of his constituents
and the country. [Laughter.]
Mr. Schench declared that when he said
there were social, personaland official influ
ences brought tooperete on members on this
subject he meant just what he said.
Mr. Thayer intimated that the statement
gained no weight by repetition.
Mr. Schenck continued to say that all
members, himself included, were subject to'
these influences in a greater or less degree.
He reiterated the expression of his disap
pointment at the action of the House.
Mr. Randall (Pa.) did not think it a kill
ing affair, even if the gentleman from Ohio
was disappointed. The majority of the
House had acted its good sense, the opinion
of the gentleman to the contrary notwith
standing.
No amendment was offered to the four.
teenth section, whichis as follows; .
SEirrime IL And be it further enacted,
That there shall be four inspector generals
of the army, with the rank, pay and emolu
ments of colonels of cavalry,and four assist
ant inspector generals, with the rank, pay
and emoluments of lieutenant colonels of
cavalry, one of whom shall be specially as
signed to duty as inspector of cavalry, and
two assistant inspector generals, with the
rank, pay and emoluments of majors of
cavalry.
The House proceeded to the consideration
of the fifteenth section, relating to the Bu
reau of Military Justice.
Mr. Garfield (Ohio) moved to amend it by
inserting after the words "military com
mission," the words "authorized by law."
Mr. Bingham opposed the amendment as
covering a reflection upon the late Presi
dent.
Mr. Upson moved to amend the amend
ment by making it read "under the laws or
war." After some discussion both amend
ments were rejected.
Mr. Garfield then moved to amend by
striking out the words "military commis
sion" and called for the yeas and nays.
The amendment was rejected by a vote of
yeas 34 nays 76.
The Republican members voting for
were Messrs. Anderson, Baker, Donnelly,
Garfield, Hale, Hubbell (Ohio). Mercur.
Spalding, Francis, Thomas, Warren and
Windom. All the Democrats present voted
for it.
The section as passed reads:
Snariox 18, And be it further enacted.
That the Bureau of Military Justice shat,
hereafter consist of one judge advocate
general, with the rank, pay and emoluments
of a brigadier general, and one assistant
judge advocate general, with the rank, pay.
and emoluments of a colonel of cavalry,
and the said judge advocate general shall
receive, revise, and have recorded the pro
ceedings of all courts martial, courts of in
quiry, and military commissions, and shall
perform such other duties as have hereto
.fore been performed by the Judge Advocate
General of the army. And of the Judge
Advocates now in office there may be
retained a number not exceeding ten, to be
selected by the Secretary of War, who shall
perform their duties under the direcion of
the Judge Advocate General until otherwise
provided by law, or until the Secretary. of
War decides that their services may be dis
pensed with.
The House Passed to the consideration of
the sixteenth section, relating , to the Quar
termaster's Department.
Mr. Davis moved a substitute for the sec
tion, providing for one quartermaster gene
ral, four assistant quartermaster generals,
eight deputy quartermaster generals,
sixteen quartermasters, and forty-eight
assistant quartermasters.
Pending. the consideration of the section,
a movement was made towards adjourning.
Mr. Miller, from the Committee on Roads
and Canals,reported backiwith a substitute,
the House bill to ascertain the practicability
of having a steamboat navigation from the
Chesapeake bay, at the month of the Sus
quehanna river,to Lake Ontario,in the State
of New York. Ordered to be printed and
recommended.
He also reported back adversely a bill
granting lands to the State of West Virginia,
to aid in the construction of certain rail
roads, which was laid on the table.
Mr. Harding (111.), from the Committee on
Militia ' reported back,with amendments,the
House 'bill to educate the militia. Ordered
to be printed and recommitted.
On motion of Mr. Moorhead (Pa.) leave
was granted to Mr. Washburn (Ill.) to
report back the Senate bill to • pay Thomas
F. Wilson, late United States Consul at _
Bahia, Brazil, $1,500 in full for extra ser
vices, and all other claims of Ideagainat the
government,, which was consideFed and
passed.
Mr;Rice (Me.) asked leave to offer a reso
lution instructing the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency to, inquire into the expe
dienoy of providing by law for the conversion
of State banks, now organized into national
banks, on or before Ist of January next.
Mr. Ross objected. Adjourned. '
