-XXXIKth Coogrcss-SecoiidSnalM. Washington, Dac.ll, Senate.—The District of Columbia Suf frage bill was taken up. The pending question was upon Mr. Cowan’s amendment to strike oat tae word “ male” before person. " Mr. Anthony (R, I.) said he supposed Mr. Cowan had offered this amendment by way of satire, but he should vote for it, not be cause of any right that women had to exer cise the franchise, for he considered it a right that could only be granted by society. If it was olaimed that intelligence ought to be the basis of suffrage; women could net be ex cluded, still less if virtue or morality was to be the standard. It might be said that men represented women, but this was not true; there could be no representation without the consent of the person represented, and wo men had not given this consent. : Nations had been well governed by Wo men. Elizabeth raised England to the height of greatness, A woman furnished Columbus with the means to discover Ame rica. A woman now sat upon the throne of Spain, and a woman was the ruler of the proudest monarchy of the earth. It was not logical to say that a woman cauld reign as a queen, or command an army, and yet that a woman was hot fit to vote for com mon councilmen of Washington. The time had not yet come for female suffrage, bat it was coming. „ Mr. Williams (Oregon) said women did not need the protection of the ballot that negroes did, and for this reason he should vote against the amendment and for the bill Negroes had been enslaved and degraded! Intelligence had been denied them. Women bad not been enslaved, but honored; hus bands and brothers protected wives and sis ters, and it was the pride and glory of Ame ricans to love and honor the female sex. Ii would be time enough to to consider the question of female suffrage when it was de manded by American women. No such de mand had yet been made, except by a few who sought notoriety, and did notreprcsent the sex to which they belong, if indeed ttiey can be said to belong to any sex, which he considered very questionable. It has been said that the hand that rocks the oradle roles the world. This was true and beautiful. Bat in a different sense from Uiat of exeroising the right of suffrage. Those women who now olamored for the turmoil of politics and wished to enter into contests with men at the ballot box, would if they had the power, overthrow the framß work of society and make every home a -hell uponeartli. When women were willing to be sailors and soldiers, to fight battles and navigate the seas, it would be time enoughfor them to ask the right to vote. Mr. Williams then resumed the conside ration of the subject of suffrage to the contending that the ballot was necessary to to enable them to protect themselves All the arguments against it were mere pre judice. Why was it that so long as a negro was a slave there was no objection to nis sitting in a railroad coaoh or riding in a steamboat? But when he became free he was not to be allowed any such privilege. Ho would base his argument solely in the right of protection, which every man has white or Dlack. ’ „r l iL^ d i ee . n s s ? id here that the inhabitants of this District were the descendants of proud and haughty families. For that rea son he wanted this bill passed, so that all thefiescendants of these haughty families might have the right to vote. If it was said that the negroes were not intelligent, he would, reply that they were intelligent enough to distinguish right from wrong in the late rebellion, and to know the friends frara the enemies of the Government. Mr. Cowan said he had not intended to again take the floor on this subject, bntit hmi been said that he was not in earnest in offering this amendment. This was not correct. He had been opposed to any change in the suffrage; but if it was to be changed if negroes were to be enfranchised,lhe was m favor of still further change, so as to em brace women, also. If white men eould not be intrusted withpolitical power for the negro, they could not be intrusted with it for the women. WhJ* 1 ? thought women were represented by their husbands might go to the nroceed mon > a .rfighfs Conventiomre cently held, to learn differently. It was time to look facts in the face; He was willing tostand upon old constitutions sano- Hm» d ™l hey f Were V y the when the tone comes to make a step, it should be direction. He was sur prised that hip sincerity should he doubted - Radicals were not like the poet, they were made ami apt born, and when the rime ca S®5,®, wwold ? ld . be 5 s radical as any of them. He did not intend to let the Juggernaut of progress run- over him. He had as many reasons as Mr. Anthony, and one more for being in favor of this bill, for he had a vrife whereas Mr. Anthony was a widower. He hoped, therefore, that Mr. Anthony would make an abject apology to him for having expressed a doubt of his sincerity. [Laugh er.] This new personage who appears on the political.stage to oppose the Jnpiterian of legislation, complains that toS have been a tyrant to her. • * He (Mr. Cowan) proceeded to read from .the proMedmgsof the 29th annual meeting Pennsylvania Anti-slavey Society and the speech of Mr. Francis D. Gagddur mg the session of that body. He would an- Kfi 1 tp , lnend f i pm Massachusetts (Mr. Wilson) to express his opinion on this sub ject, and he felt assured that he would he firm on the side of humanity on this ques- H on - He could almost see from where he bosoni of his friend from Massa chusetts heave in sympathy with this new issue (laughter) and now that they had two negroes in the Massachusetts Legislature he could not doubt that Mr. Wilson would come fully to his (Mr. Cowan’s) position. He hoped also that his other friend from Massachusetts (Mr. Snmner) would vote right m this proposition, now that a change b? d come over his domestic relatives. won J d not have alluded to this delicate subject, but he found some re “a*B i rom M . rs - Ga g® in relation to Mr. great Bpee S, h of 1081 Winter to phich he was compelled to assent. Mrs. Gage had discovered that Mr. Snmner pro taxati°n and male representa tion, and not a word was said bythat gen tleman against tiie tyranny of men without giving them the right of renre -Bentation. He would say to gentlemen that Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Francis toeir a htete with%hefr bfnMr^flyin^and °A fe ?^l su ,S ag J?' his amendment were adopted he (Mr. Cowan) would vote for thn bill. He would not be afraid of negro snf! •fr* a S® if female suffrage went with it tt<> n 9 t J )e first to propose any change thb “alter of suffrage, but if any chanle was to be made, it ought to be a radical and fundamental one of this kind. H« wL in good earnest in offering this amendSlnt He was not so blind as not to see the signs of the coming times. gns Mr. MoiTill (Me.) said he could not be heye that Mr. Cowan had been arguing to infav « of his proposh won. While the znaiontv in tha oirmtA intended to he fadical, they intended rational .also,, and && enemies to make them ridioulons wonld bf unsuccessful. He would not consent to see Mr. Cowan pretend to endorse radicalism *> r Repose of breaking it down. It™ the old device to make a measure order to defeat it. Mr. Cowa^d^ X?

CJowan resinned the floor in reply to f n ?i nt ?* n t D S that to deprive a Hght of suffrage was a punish a?d M DOW proposed, was in the nature of an ez post facto law. * , Wade (Ohio) said he had not intented fiirf , this discussion because the nrst day of the last,session of Congress he introduced the original bill, to which the £?(? 11 S lt L eehad “ade several amendments, which be supposed sufflcientiy demon strated toall what his views on this subject wer «- His views were not of any sudden ? e .^ ad alwaysbeen of the opinion that the right to vote in a Republican go vernment ought to be limited onlv by yelrs ?/ dl4CJ j® u OD- He had always believed that it would be safe when the laws of the * emi tted our People to their they had fixed simply an age ot majority,and of competency to manage their own affairs as the qualification for suf frage.

He imagined that the unsafety was entirely on the other side,’ for just in pro portion as you limit this franchise, you create in some degree an arlstocraoy or irre sponsible government, and gentlemen must be a little tincturedTwitfirtfie fear of Repub right oA^ hentbey ftar theexteflded , if he(lknr.jyad e ) believed, as some gen tlemen did f that to participate in .govern ment required intellects of the highest oha penence; if only such persons should be ber mitted to participate in the government, he should know that a republican ferm ofgo yerntoent could not liVe. It was because he beheved that all that wasessential in go vernment for the welfare of the community was the plain, level of the weakest intellects, that he believed this government ought to stand and would stand for ever. wl4 “ at to be protected by this republican government? Certainly it la the weak and the ignorant who have no other manner of defending their rights except through the ballot-box. The argument for aristocracies and tnonarchies had ever been that the people did . not know enongh to take care of any form of government As to the pending amendment, he intended to vote it He might not have introduced it because this might not be the best time and place to agitate the subject; but as to the right of women to vote, he had not donbt whatever. He was fully convinced on that subject It would puzzle any one to draw • j. l ?® demarcation between the female and the Male in this respect, while both were alike subject to the same law. The timeisapproacning, said Mr. Wade, when ®^ y > fem ,! Ue . :ul UlB oonntry will be respon sible for the just government of the coun tryasmueh as the males. Their right to participate in the government of the conn try will be just as well acknowledged as our own. 6 J ate ® said he did not share with 0 Senators m the embarrassment in which these amendments seemed to involve them, He oould see no argument whv a woman should not vote that would not apply ,(J <> Prevent a man from voting; but another issue had been mn<i o last summer, another question had been V 1 ® J? e °P le > an d. he was for ad hering to that. He would join the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cowan) in mak ing female suffrage an issue in the nbxt election, and if he* desired it he was for universal suffrage, and when the time comes he would vote for it; but in voting against this amendment he only adhered o the voice of his State, as expressed at the polls last fall, confined as it was to another ißsne. 10 "Wilson (Massachusetts) said he should vote against this amendment. He was opposed to connecting the two aues tlons together at all. The lldiesin mens Rights Convention seemed to have had a great effect upon Mr. Cowan. If Mr h fd read the speeches of these w<£ men during the past few years he would have a better record when he leaves the t ?® for ? he (Mr- Wilson) came to the conviction that it would be better for the legislation of the it >he women of the land had the right of suffrage. If Mr. Cowan would offer women’s suffrage as an independent measure, he would vote for it; but he was Z P “ “““otfDS th e two together. He was in favor of negro suffrage because it was a necessity. We have won negro suf frage for the District of Columbia! Ig 0 6r >,?^.

It therefore enacts that until the law making power of the United States shall have declared the several portions of the united States heretofore represented in Con gress as the States of Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Arkansas,Louisiana and Texas are restored to their political relations to the Union th’ey shali-not be entitled to representation in the-Electorel College for the choiiM of President and Vice President of the_ United Btates, and that no electoral vote Bhall be received or counted from them except as each may hereafter be so deolared restored to its political relations in the Union and entitled to representation in Congress. Mr. Finck asked Mr. Wilson whethfr fate bill WBs printed. Mr. Wilson (Iowa) replied in the negative. Mr.Fmck suggested that it was certainly a matter of great importance, and one that should not be pressed without discussion. : Mr. Wilson (Iowa) said he would proceed to explain the bill, and then, if the House choose to postpone it he would have no ob jection. In the preparation of the bill and preamble, the committee had been carefnl f°u,H. gc i be ? ond the precedent already es tablished. In the preamble the committee adopted the deciaration of the President of the United Btates that the revolutionary progress made by the people ofthe South in the course of the rebellion had deprived certain portions of the Union of all civil government. It had also followed the de claration made by Congress in the joint resolution providing for the admission of members from Tennessee, that the politicai relations of portions of the Union formerly represented as States could only be restored by the consent of the law-making power of the United States. On those two declara tions in the preamble the committee based the bill. In the prepara tion of the bill tbe committee had followed the precedent established by the Thirtv eighth Congress in the joint resolution ex cluding from the Electoral College the States then in rebellion. The only differ ence was that that joint resolution was con fined in its operation to the Presidential 18 ¥> F hile this biU provided that it should apply Indefinitely. Mr. Finck suggested that there was an other difference—that at that time thecoun try was in the midst of war, and that now the midst of peace. [Expressions of dissent on the Republican side.] ..Mr. Wilson (lowa)—We were at that qt war * * ad w e think that the effect of that war on those communities exwfo to-day.

I do not believe that it becomes this nation. I do not believe that it is safe for us to un dertake to pass laws by which we oan pun ish men however guilty, who could not be punished under the laws under whioh the crime was committed. Can we not alter the Constitution so as to change the place of trial of traitors, and say that the venae mav be changed and that they shall be tried bv •torcra summoned from another bailiwick? The Constitution and oar laws provide verv careiully th“t especially treason cases are to be tried in the plaoe where the overt act is committed, or a district previously asoer tainedi by law and by a jury from that baili wick- Any law that professes to change that to any of its features, looks to me to much like attempting a case of j ndicial mur der that I have been always afraid to touoh it. lam aware that if the traitors of the South were to be tried under our existing Constitution «nd la w, not oaoof tjiijjn eoulg ever beconvlcted. 1 I should never attempt to Uy them for treMon. I should try them as belligerents under the laws of nations and under laws of war. , A is what you would do lf were the administration.” * S jevens-I am speaking of -what I would do when I get into the Admin [Laughter.] I know that any attempt to try them for treason would be a failure, although I would not discourage the m ® nt i°n this to show that I am fully sensible that none of them under our present Constitution and laws can ever pe convicted; and yet I would rather let every man of them run unpunished forever 'Which"they eoqld be punished. I think our government would endanger its future existence and its charac ,tar/?£ joshce before the world. ± think that the British government suffered more from the murder of Lord Russell, although it was the execution of the sentence of a court, tnan it would have suffered by the escape of forty traitors. I think this govern ment had better be careful how it tampers either with the crime or the remedy, for it is be “ e r to forego a remedy for the crime which the world will view partly as a felo de se, and partly as a political offence, than to attempt now to pass laws lestmalefaotors may escape,.... i This professes to be a bill to make indefi nite the time of prosecution for one of those offences which, of all bthers. should be quieted by lapse.of time v Murder is a dif ferent thing. .There are so many engaged, not only in treasoa, but in rebellion, that there must be some. quieting law. And there ought to be, in my judgment, for’it does not follow that every traitor escapes who is not prosecuted within three years from the time of the offence. ■ The statute of limitations nowhere runs in any case, except it is possible to enforce “s/wnedy. It only runs from the time which it is possible to enforce it- For in stance, Benjamin is in. Europe. Sols SlidelL Ido not suppose anybody wonld say that fvhile Benjamin was absent beyond the sf as, the statute of limitation wonld run; It only runs from the time which he may be prosecuted and is not prosecuted, Whether that be so or not during the con tinuance of the war the crime continued. It was a continuing offence, and that offence continues up to the time When peace shall be proclaimed. It never has been pro claimed.. I know that a gentleman up the avenue haapnt forth some pieces of paper which he thinks equal to the proclamations of James to Charles; but they are of no im portance, and the question of peace or war is yet to be decided by Congress. 'I say there is no peace. [Sensation,] This nation is still in a belligerent condition, and the con quered belligerents are with the power of the conqueror, to be dealt with as captives and not as criminals, 1 I can, therefore, in the first place, see no necessity for the bill, but if there were a ne cessity lor it,l should certainly object to any alteration of the law as it now exists witu reference to treason, which wduld enable tbe Government to convict, where it is con fessed it could not convict under the law as it stood when the crime was committed. I should be very glad to see condign punish ment inflicted on many of these men. al though not capital punishment I read Boccacio when I was a boy, and have never forgotten the principles which be laid down. I have never been for bloody punishment. Ido not consider that there was sufficient atonement made by the exe cution of that magnificent leader of the re- De !u oni ricketty Wirz. the Dutchman w * th , humpback, who only pbejed the orders of his superior offi cers, and who, if he were tried in ordinary times, and according to the law, would never have been convicted, because his Go- e ™ment was answerable for him. The tdea that the starvation of fifty or sixty thousand men is to be atoned by the execution of one of the keepers of the pri son, instead of being visited on his govern ment is absurd. “ ~Eere 1116 Speakerinterrupted, announcing w i?}i or ? ,D^ J hoar had expired, and th M^ e bUI e ° over 011 to-morrow. asketl teave to intro hUr? b v U regulate the sale of coin and bullionby th e Secretary of the Treasury.
