WlKtli CCSBBEBS- Second Beaalmu t«LOSE OF YZStKBDAY’S FBOOEBDIHBS.I Sknatk.—Mr. Trumbull moved that the . Senate take up the bill to repeal the amnesty eeotion of the Confiscation Dill, ' Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, hoped that the bill would not be taken up. The bill to admit Nebraska was properly before the Senate. He Mr. (Hendricks) was entitled to the floor upon it, and- wished to make some remarks upon it. A vote was taken, and the Senate took up the bill indicated by Mr. Trumbull. Mr. Trumbull called for the reading of the section proposed to be repealed, and it was read. Mr. Trumbull said the only effect of the passage of this bill will be to repeal the thirteenth section of the Confiscation act. which is as follows: “That the President is hereby. authorizad at any time hereafter by proclamation to extend ts persons who may have partici pated in the existing rebellion, in any State oT p&Tt thereof, pardon and amnesty, with such exceptions and at such time and on such conditions as he may deem expedient for the'public welfare.” Prom the baste with/which this bill was hurried through the House,and the anxiety manifested by some in this body to pass it ait once, without the usual ..reference to a •committee; afiimpression has gone out to the country that, by the repeal of the thir teenth section of the Confiscation act the power of the President to grant pardons and restore to the rebels their- property would be taken away. Such. however," will not he its effect. The President’s power to grant pardons and restore property'will fie j ust as complete afteO the passage of this bill repealing . the thirteenth section as before. The.Constitutiou confers on the President the “power to grant reprieves and pardoiis for offences against the United States, except in cases of‘impeachment.” And it is not in the powerof Congress:to de privebim of this prerogative. A pardon is aremissioh'Ofthe’crrme:&hd'offence,audnot of the convictionjand may be granted either heforeor after conviction; and may he abso lute or conditional. All these questions were settled by the opinionsof the Attorney Gen erals and the decisions of the Supreme Court,years ago. Mr. Wirt, Attorney General ■finder President Monroe,gave an opinion in 1820, that the President, under. the Consti tution,had authority to pardon as well before as after conviction; and the Supreme Court, of the United'States, in the case of ex parte William Will, 18 Howard, 310, cited with approbation the following —A pardon Is said by Lord Coke to be a work of mercy, whereby the King,either be fore attainder, sentence or csnviction or after, may forgive any offence, crime, etc. 3 Inst., 233. The same Court, in the case of United States vs. Wilson, Peters, 162, decided that a pardon is a deed, to the capacity of which delivering and accept tance by the individual for whom it is in tended are necessary, and that the Presi dent may grant pardons on conditions. The President’s power to restore property seized under the confiscation act to its for mer rebel owners will not be affected by the repeal of this thirteenth section, as the sec tion is silent on that subject, and his power on that subject is just what the Constitution gives him and no more. It is certainty ■within his power to retain the property seized, by imposing as a condition that no property shall be restored under it, and ■where he has not done so,it is manifest that he did not intend to retain the property. This is moreover apparent from the affirm ative action of the President, in commanding Major General- Howard, Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, to restore to pardoned rebels their former property. The President has these powers under the Constitution.. It may be asked why repeal this thirteenth section? What possible harm can it do to let it stand? I answer, it contains a power to grant a gene ral amnesty by proclamation, which the Constitution does not give. There can now be no occasion to issue a general proclama tion of amnesty. That has already been done, except as to certain specified classes and by repealing this thirteenth section Congress takes from the President the power "to issue any more general proclamations of amnesty, and declares that the granting of special pardons and restorations of rebel property shall no longer be done under its sanction. Mr. Johnson (Md.) took the floor to show that the President has full power to pardon under the Constitution. He cited the autho rity of the Federalist and the proclamation of General Washington during the whisky insurrection to suow that the President has, by the Constitution, the power to issue a proclamation of generalamnesty. Pending the remarks of M r - Johnson the morning nour expired, and the Chair de •x aided the bill to admit Nebraska to be in order, Mr. Trumbull hoped the Nebraska biU would be informally laid aside for the pre sent, until the bill called up by him was dis posed of. The Chair decided that Mr. Hendricks (lnd.) was entitled to the floor on the bill to admit Nebraska, and it could only be laid aside with his consent. ‘ Mr. Hendricks (Ind.) declined to yield the floor, SO the bill -to ? admit !N'ahrft«k'a was taken up. Mr Hendricks addressed the Se / state against the bill, taking th'e grottadthat the population ofNebraska was too small *>r a State Government; that the majority in favorof a State Government was very smalL ■Ac. -In conclusion,.he referred to-a-speech of Mr. Sherman’s on Friday last, and said Jie;<Mr.Bherman) expressed the opinion that Iheconßtitntional amendment whieh passed this body at the last session was a mild pro position, and was just and fair toward the Southern States. I think I recollect to have asked the Senator at the las t session a ques tion which he did not then answer. I will repeat the question to hlm now,and let him then as a Representative of one of the States of this Union, say whether one of constitutional amendments'-.was fair; that amendment was so carefully and willfully framed.as to leave the Northern S tates a re presentation of from fifteen to twenty Re presentatives in the House based upon a non-voting population, leaving Missouri, Vargima, Tennessee and. Maryland their foil representation, when one-half of their people, by State policy and legislation. * are denied the right of voting. Full repre mentation is allowed to four States, notwith standing one-half of the population is dis franchised, and full representation, includ ing a large non-voting population, securing twenty Representatives of the House, is left -to (he Northern States. Now is it right in a constitutional amend ment to give to one State a representation' based upon a non-voting population.- and deny it to another State because a partiou lar population is not alloyved to vote?. Is it right to give to Ndw York—is it . just and amid and fair ‘to propose that New York may have four or fiverepresentatives’based npon a non-voting population, and deny to Georgia a representation upon her non voting population? Is it equal and just shat one Btate shall be represented for her population; and ■ another State -snail not be represented for her non-voting population? ' B This is the question. lie Senator (Mr. Sherman), at the last session' did ndtranswer it, and i. think it cannot, he-answered.-1- kno wit can be said that these people of the South have been in a state of rebellion. The wickedness and folly of the Southern States m going into that rebellion cannot be too fitrong]yexpressed_ by the Senator from Ghio, .Rut, sir, when they come back by aeir representatives in tbjs body and into tlley come as States? : ' the Senator cioh- : amendment. provided that they might exclude part of rag DAm BVMIIWO BtHligTIN : PBII.ADBI.rHIA, TI'KSDAT.

Bnt I make a distinction between the power of this government over 1 the States that have forfeited their rights by rebellion and the rights of those States that have not thus forfeited their rights. Mr. Hendricks—l am not discussing the views of the Senator, bnt of his colleagae (Mr. Sherman). "His colleagae has stated that the amendment was fair, inild and fast and that because of its character in this re’ spect, great advantage was secured to the party with which he acted. Mr. Sherman (Ohio) asked Mr. Hendricks if he desired him to answer the question now? » Mr. Hendricks said he did not want aa immediate answer; any other time would d j. Mr. Cragin (N. H.j asked Mr. Hendricks if the constitutional amendment did not in clude the non-voting foreigners of the South as well as of the North. Mr. Hendrioks said the cases were not analogous. No Southern State would, ac- the last census, be entitled to re presentation on the foreign population. Mr. -Hendricks concluded his remarks. Mu Brown (Mo.) gave notice of a pro posed amendment to the bill for the admis sion of Nebraska into the Union, as follows: Provided thattkis act shall not taka effect except upon the fundamental condition that within the State of. Nebraska there shall be ho denial of the elective franchise, or of any other rights, to any_. person, by reason of race or color; and upon the further condi tion that this fundamental condition,shall be submitted to the voters of the territory of Nebraska at an election'to he held On the first Tuesday of blank next, and at snch election such voters shall declare their ab sent to or dissent from the condition afore said, in such form as shall be prescribed by thp Governor, of said territory; and all votes givea atsaidelection shall be returned by the Governor within blank days of the elec tion, who shall forthwith canvas the same, and ifa majority of such votes shall be for this condition, the Governor shall certify mat fact to the President of the United States, who shall, by proclamation, an nounce the fact; whereupon, without farther proceedings on the part of Congress: this act shall take effect. Mr. Trumbull moved that the Senate post pone the further consideration of the Ne braska bill and take up the bill to repeal the thirteenth section of the Confiscation act. Mr. Wade gave notice that to-morrow he would move to rescind the resolution pro viding for the holiday recess. It was found that unless this was done the Suffrage bill would be lost, as the ten days given to the President would expire during the recess and the hill would fall. Snmner said the case referred to by Mr. Wade could be provided against by the Secretary withholding the bill untill afier the holidays, or until such time as would secure the expiration of the ten days after the reassembling of Congress. Some discussion took place on the motion to take up the bill to repeal the- amnesty power of the President,and the Senate voted to take it up. Mr. Sautsbury (Del.) offered an amend ment to strike out all after the enacting clause of the bill, and insert in lieu thereof a provision that tbe act emitted l, an act to suppress insurrection and confiscate the property of rebels,” iB hereby repeated. Mr. Johnson fMd.) took the floor on this bill, but yielded to Mr. Freiinghuysen (N. J.) who rose to announce the death of the late Senator Wright, and paid a tribute to his memory as a man of industry in bnsiness, honest in public, and of Christian virtues in priva f e life. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. F offered the usual resolutions of condolence and regret. Mr. Cattail (N. J.) delivered a eulogy on the life and character of the deceased, and was followed by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Davis in similar remarks. At the conclusion of the eulogies, the Sen ate at 3 P.M.adjourned as a token of respect to the memory of the deceased. House.—Mr. Stevens (Pa.) fromthe Com mittee on Appropriations, reported bills making an appropriation for Invalid and other pensions and for the Consular and Diplomatic expenses of the government for the year ending June 30,1868. Referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, and made the special order for the 4th of January. On motion of Mr. Stevens (Pa.) the peti tion of the clerks and civil employes of the government for theincrease of compensation was referred to the Committee ef Ways and Means. 1 Mr. Julian (Rid.) introduced a joint reso lution prohibiting the farther issue of agri cultural scrip to States lately in rebellion. Read three times and passed. Mr. Schenck (Ohio) offered a resolution reciting the published advertisement for the sale of a colored man at Annapolis on the Bth of December, convicted by the Circuit Miurt of Anne Arundel county, and sen tenced to be sold as a slave, and directing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the same and report whether such proceedings were not in direct conflict with the Constitu tion of the United States, and with the act to protect all persons in the United States in their civil rights, and furnish the means of their vindication. - Also, to inquire whether any steps have been taken by the President 10 that 'law : and prevent such out rages. The committee to have power 1 to send for perspns and papers, and to report what aouon is necessary and proper for Congress to take on the subject. 8 Mr. Stevens (Pa.) said he wished to make a suggestion and to see whether the inquiry J be .l nlarg ?i; - 16 would be recol lected that in the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, it was declared that sla very should not exist except for crime, of which the party should be convicted. Mary land was not the only State’in the South where occasion of that unfortunate excep tion was taken to sell colored people into slavery. Not many weeks ago two very respectable persons, .a gentleman. and his wife, had called npon him and told him that they had just come from Florida, where it had become too warm for them; that the day before they left "they said seven negroes were sold into slavery at public auction, some of them for seven years, and that they saw several others whipped with stripes on the naked back, at the whipping post, nnder the discriminating laws of Florida.. He thought this inquiry should be enlarged and extended to ail the slave Slates. Maryland, although close to 1 he free States, seems to be wore imbued with the old virus of slavery than any of the Southern States that have been con quered, except, perhaps, Kentucky, I think u even beats Kentucky. The slave portions °f Maryland, with one-sixth of the white population, with one hundred thousand white people, have an equal power with the me portions, that have a white population of six hundred and sixty thousand, and she is carrying on her government in that way. My judgment is that there is no snoh thing form of government there! a “ d .4 h 9P?, that the distinguished and able KeMleman from Marylahd, Francis Thomas. Ty d !>i ,6fore ‘bis Congress adjourns, move that Congress shall give to'Maryland a re publican'form of government; shall appor non her representation according to and on the basis of population, and shall modify her laws so that men shall not be sold into s]avery_rightnnder the eye of the capital. fr^v.^ e hck (Ohio): said he the first place, drawn the resolution giving it more scope, and directing inquiry into’all kindred cases and subjects, hut it had oc cn.rr*d 10 that the Judiciary Committee gation of this particular instance, Which seemed to present itself as a sort of speei men without interfering with the per ' fonnance oF its other, duties.- Iftany at torn pt~wei-emade..to-seud_thh:J udici-ary Committee or select committee with power, iniexamine withessek ia‘alll parts!ofitfie country, it might result-in.having no report for a long time to come.

He sent up and had read by the Clerk an extract from a loyal Georgia newspaper of the Btn of December, showing that in the late Equal Bights Convention held in Macon, Gta , the delegates representing fifty counties re ported .one hundred and fifty murders within the last ten months, and in no in stance did the civil authorities attempt to bring the murderers to justice. The amendment was agree to, and the re solution as amended was adopted. Mr. Ashley (Ohio) moved to suspend the rules to enable him to offer a resolution for the appointment of a select committee of seven, to inquire whether any acts had been donebyany officer of the Government of the United States, which, in the contempla tion of the Constitution,., are. high crimes and misdemeanors, and whether such aots were designed or calculated to overthrow, subvert or corrupt the Government of the United States, or any department thereof. Mr. Finch (Ohio) called for the yeas and nays on suspending the rules. Mr. Bingham (Ohio) suggested the modi fication of the resolntion so as to specify 1 the particular officers referred to by it. As the resolution stood it would, be notifying, the world that there was a grand inqnest being held on all officers of the United States who were liable to impeachment. The resolntion was not modified, and the House refused to suspend the rules—yeas 88, nays 49; not a two-thirds vote. So the resolution was not received.
