Southern members, upon their acceptance
of the Constitutional Amendments; If Mr.
S. had introduced the measure attributed to
bim by .the Chronicle, he would have been
entity of deliberate stultification, and he
desired now to say for the benefit
of; the . editor and all others that
be adhered’ to the Consstiational Amend-
ment, and he thought that If it were ratified
by three-fourths of the States represented,
it would become part of the Constitution of
the land. Yet be would have the so-called
Legislature of the rebel States adopt it as an
earnest of loyalty. If it were possible for the
amendment to be ratified by all bat one of
the loyal States sufficient to make the num
ber two-thirds and a sufficient number of :
the late disloyal States voted, so as to make
the number two-thirds, he, Mr. S., desired
. to say plainly,that he would not consider the
amendment legally ratified until a specified
act of Congress were passed to meet the case,
for he. could not ; recognize the late rebel
communities as States of this Union. ■
[To the New York Associated Pressl .
Mr. Stevens (Pa.); at a subsequent stage
of the proceedingStSaid that he had intended,
perhaps irregularly, to say a word In refer
ence to’the position of Mr, Spalding. He
would only say now that he thought the ar
gument of the , editor altogether the
better of the two, and perfectly con
clusive. While he would not charge the
gentleman (Mr. Spalding) with being the
author of the resolution, he tboughtthe doc
trine implied In it was the most pernicious
that could possibly be brought -to obstruct
the fin al free reconstruction of the Govern
ment, but he would not go into the argu
ment now, as the gentleman (Mr.
Spalding) was notin his seat. He had only
thought it proper to say so much in favor of
the argument of one who could not appear
here himßelf, and which he deemed conclu
sive and entirely more satisfactory than
that of the gentleman from Ohio.
Mr. Williams (Pa.), from the Committee
on the Judiciary, read a report- in the case
of the arrest and detention under civil pro
cess .of Charles D. Culver, Representative
from' the Twentieth District of Pennsyl
vania, proving by reference; to Parliamen
tary hißtory and, precedents, that such
arrest and detention was a‘. breach
of privilege; and closing with a reso
lution directing the Speaker to issue
bis warrant to the Sergeant-at-Arms, coin
mandinghim to deliver forthwith the Hon.
Cberies v. Culver, detained in a civil, BUit,
from the custody of the sheriff or jailors of
Venango county, or any other person or
persons presuming to hold or detain him,
and to make return to the House of such
warrant, with the manner of its execation.
- The resolution was adopted.
; Mr, Delano, on leave, introduced a joint
resolution, directing, that until otherwise
ordered it should he unlawful forany officer
of the United States Government to pay any
account, claim, or demand against the Go
vernment, accruing prior to April 10th,
1861, in favor of ’ any person who
promoted, encouraged, or in
any way sustained the late rebel
lion, or in favor of any, person who, daring
such rebellion, was not known to be op
posed thereto and distinctly in favor of its
suppression. The joint resolution was read
three times and.passed,
> Mr. Stevens offered the following:
i Resolved, That a committee of seven be
aupointed to report a bill to establish a sys
tem of free common schools in the District
(if Columbia, from which no childsix years
old or more residing in said district Bhall be
excluded, except for improper conduct.
The schools are to be supported by taxes
impartially levied on the assessable. proper
ty of the District, together with such
annual appropriations as Congress may
grant. Adopted.

Mr. Morrill, from the Committee of Ways
and Means, reported baok the - Senate j tint
resoluticnin relation to the settlement of the
. a'ccountß of W. P. Wingate, collector of the
