4 / Buchanan Crossi•the noted forger, was .
brought before Judge Williams,. of the Circuit
Court, yesterday, upon `. a
.writ of'habeas,
corpus issued • out of that Court, and the
question of the custody of the prisoner dur
ing the pendency of the motion for a new
trial-diseussed.- Judge Walker, the prisoner's
• 01114 argued that the moment the super
`s leas ':issued t the' judgment , of • the
Recorder's - Court ceased 'o to be of any .
validity until, the writ was itself superceded
'2:by the confirmation of the original judg-
Inent,er expired,' of course, by the granting
an order fora new trial, ,
and that during
operation,i,itt . the writ the question of the
"- o ictistody orthe Prisoner was an important
one. Cross had been placed in charge of the
• Warden of the Penitentiary by virtue of a
stnittimus issued,by the
. Recorder's Court of
the City of, Chicago in pursuance of a sen
tence pronounced by that Court 'against - him,
and that mittinius was all the authority the
Warden had for holding the prisioner, as was
evidenced by the return to the writ oehabeas
corpus. Now, when the. Warden was served
with a notice of the issuance of the superse
. dea B , the Judgment • of the'Recorder's Court
ceased to run,
and the . warrant of autho
.nty to keep Cross in .. the Penitentiary
as a convict became a nullity, becanse
of, the order staying all proceedings in'
Jie case until ..the motion for a new trial can
• heard and determined. As the mittimus
, v is a part of the proceedings, the writ issued,
• by the Supreme Court operated. on that also;
• - and the only reasonable conclusion that can
• be drawn, in the absence of statutory provi
sions regulating the matter, ie that the pHs,
oner slaould go back to , the'custody of the
Sheriff of the county in which' the trial was
had; for; if a supersedeas means anything,
it means an - entire suspension'. of ° all pro
. ceedings, and necessarily places' the prisoner
-in the same status . that he was, previous to
'‘. - the sentence of the Court; The. Judge then •
moved the Court to discharge the prisoner
from the custody- of the Warden of'.the Peni
tentiary, and remand him . , to the Sheriff, of
• Cook epunty;;,, ,
The motion \was opposed by Charles H..
• Reed,' State'S Attorney, and Edward • A.
•• Rucker, Esq., of counsel, who contended that
the writ of -superseeleas was only intended
• Operate upon the sentence, while, by an
express provision of the statute as well as in
the writ itself, the prisoner could not' be re
leased
. veyed to the penitentiary under a legal mitti
-211118 the Warden of that • institution became
the legal custodian, and no Judge had au
thority to step in and. transfer that authority.
to any other 'officer . . Even • admitting that a
Circuit Court Judge had such authority, a
• habeas corpus was not the proper. remedy, •
for the Judge issuing the writ can do no more
under it than, first to remand the prisoner to
his former custodian; second, to discharge the
prisoner absolutely; and third, to admit . to
bail. There can be no authority found to
• •• warrant the Judge in changing the custody of
the prisoner. ~ Suppose, however, that an or
. • der is issued transferring the prisoner to the
custody of the Sheriff of Cook county, what
• - kind of a warrant can be issued that will
stand the test of a, 'second writ of habeas
' corpus ? Should thefinotion of the prisoner s
1! be 'allowed,. the next would_ be to Site out
s second habeas corpus from the Superior
Court., and the prisoner would necessarily be
discharged under it. ~
The Court, in deciding the motion of Judge
Walker, said:
"There can be no doubt as to the effect of
a stpersedeas upon a judgment of any
court. If sentence had been pronounced but
• not yet carried into execution, then it is clear
/ that the mittimus as well as the execution
i
of the sentence would be stayed, and the pri
soner would renmin in the custody of the
Sheriff of the county where lie was tried. In
%this case the mittintus had issued and the
...
prisoner bad been convoyed to the peniten
tiary, and the sentence had begun to run.
a superseileas is issued, and while it
prevents the further operation of the sentence
does not, in •my opinion, change in any
manner the custodial of the prisoner. A
Circuit Judge at Cairo, or anywhere else
in this State, could as well have is
sued a writ of habeas corpus as myself,
and be would and does possess the same
power as I have to alter the custody of a pri
soner after he has passed out of the hands of
the county where the offence was committed.
The prisoner in this case is ,now only in cus
tody, restrained of his liberty only, and that
ha : pursuance of the supersedeas, backed by
The provisions of the statute. Now, the ques
tion as .to whO shall hold the prisoner is of
minor importance, and one over which I at
present have no jurisdiction. Should the pri
soner complain hereafter that he is not pro-,
perly treated by his custodian, then it would
be the duty of the conservators of public jus
tice to step in and interfere, but that question
is not presented by the case at bar, and. I am
not called upon to decide it. Let the prisoner
be remanded."
Thereupon the Court ordered the following
entry to be made upon the records:

chanan Cross for a discharge on habeas
"% Ua.

ult. The said Cross also appearing by Isaac
P. Walker, his attorney, and the said Dorn

'.State's Attorney, and Edward A. Rucker, of
counsel. -
.And• the matter being now heard upon the
return, replication, rejoinder and proofs, and
argued by counsel, and it appearing to the
Count that said J. Buchanan Cross was duly

And it further appearing to the Court that

(Wick is in the State uv Kentucky,) Decem
ber 28d, 1867.—When the Almighty made
niggers he ought to hey made em so that mix
in with the sooperior race wood 'have bin an
impossibilitY. The cuss uv missegenashun,
and thehatrid uv the Democrisy uv Ohio for
niggerS, bez, between em, left me in a condi
'shun wick I hardly supposed I•-shood ever
find myself in. I rite these lines, propped
up in bed at my boardin house, my face
beaten to a jelly, and perfectly kivered with
stickiti plainer; my nose, alluz the beauty
and glory uv my face,
is enlarged to twict its
fair proporshens; my few remainin teeth hey
bin knockt down my throat, my lips resem
ble sausages, my left ear is forever no, more,
and wat httle hair wuz, hangin about my ven
erable temples is gone, my head is ez bald ez
a billyard ball, and twict its normal size. It
come about thus :
There wuz trouble in one uv the Southern
counties uv Ohio. In a reliably Democratic
township in , that county is a settlement uv
niggers, who, in the old time, ran away from
Kentucky, and settlin here where they cood
hey wat they earned, wlch wuz jist so much
swindled out uv Kentucky's accumulated
wealth. Uv course comin from Kentucky,
these niggers are many uv em ez near white
ez they can be. One uv em who Carried with
him the name uv his master, and ez he says,
father, Lett, is ez near a white man ez may
be, and ez he married a wench who wuz a
shade whiter than he, their children are jist a
touch whiter than both uv em. Uy these he
hed three daughters, rangin from sixteen' to
twenty.
Now, this Lett is a disturber. He had a
farm uv perhaps 2do akers and wuz taxed
heavy for skool purposes, but his children
wuzn't of course allowed to attend the skool.
None uv the nigger children were. Bo this
Lett got the ijee into his hed that there wuzn't
no, propriety in his paying taxes without
enjoyin some uv the, benefits, arizen from env
and aided and abetted by the other niggerk,
who were wicked enough to complain uv
payin taxes to the support uv white skools,
he sent his three daughters to the skool, di
sectin them tb present, themselves boldly,
take their seats quietly, and study persever
inly. ' They did so. The skoolmarm, who
wuz a young huzzy, with black eyes and
natural curls, from the State uv Noo Hemp
sheer, where they persekoot the saints, not
only assented to reseevin em, but very joy
fully gave em seats and put em into classes—
think Wthat—with white children.
There wuz trouble in that township. I
wuz sent for to wunst, and gladly I come. I
wuz never so gratified in my life. Had small
pox broken out in that skool, there woodeut
hey ! , bin halt the egpcitement in the town
ship. It wuz the subjick uv yooniversal talk
everywhere, and the Democrisy wuz a, bilin
like a pot. I met the trustees uv the town
ship, and demanded of they intended tamely
to submit to this outrage? I askt em whether
they intended to hey ther children set side by
side with the descendants uv Ham, who wuz
condemned to a posishen uv inferiority for
ever? Kin yoo, I askt, so degrade your
selves, and so blarst the self respeck uv yoor
children?
And bilin up with indignashen they an
swered'•never!" and yoonanimously requested
me to accompany em to the skool-house that
they mite peremptorily expel these disgustin
beins who lied obtrooded themselves among
those uv a Booperior race.
On the way to the skool-house, wich wuz
perhaps a mile distant, I askt the Board of
they knowd those girls by site. No; they re
plide, they lied never seed em. "I hey bin
told," sed I "that they are nearly white."
"They are" sed one uv em, "quite white."
"It matters not" sed I, feelin that there
wuz 14, good opportoonity for improvin the
occashen, "it matters not. There is suthin
in the nigger at wich the instink uv the white
man absolootly rebels, and from wich it in
stisktively recoils. So much experience hey
I had with em that put me in a dark room with
one un em, no matter how little nigger there
is in em, and that unerrin instink wood be
tray em to me, wich by the way goes ter
prove that the dislike we hey to em is not
the result uv prejuctis, but is a part uy our
very nachers and one uv its highest and
holiest attriboots."
Thus communin, we reached and entered
the skool-house. The skool-marm wuz there,
ez brite and ez crisp ez a Janopary morning—
the skolars wuz ranged on thel.seets a studyin
ez rapidly ez possible.
"Miss," sed I, "we are informed that
three nigger wenches, daughters of one
Lett, a nigger, is in this skool, a
minglin with' our daughters ez a ekal. Is
it so ?"
"The Misses Lett are in this skool," sed
she, ruther mischeeviously, "and I am
happy to state:that they are among my best
pupils."
"Miss," sea I, sternly, "PINT BM OUT TO
LS!"
"Wherefore?" sed shi
"That v,c may bundle cm out!" Bed I
"Bless me!" said she, "I reely coodent do
that. Why expel em?" •
"Becoz," sed I, "no nigger, shel contami
nate fhe white children win this deestrick. No
sech disgrace shel be put onto wi t "
"Well," sed this aggavatin skool marm
wich wuz from Noo Hampshire, "put em
out."
"But show me wish they are."
"Can't you detect em, sir? Don't their
color betray em ? Ef they are so near white
that yoo can't select em at a glance, it strikes
me that it can't hurt very much to let em
stay."
1 wuz sorely puzzled. There wuzn't a girl
in the room who looked at all niggery. But my
reputashurt was at stake. Noticin three girls
settin together who wuz somewat dark corn
plected, and whose black hair waved, I went
tbr em and shoved em out, the cussid skool
warm almost bustin with latter.
here the tragedy okkerred. At the door I
met a man who rode four miles in his .zeal to
assist us. - He bed alluz lied an itchin to pitch
into a nigger, and ez he cood do it now safely
he proposed not to lose the chance. I wuz
a puttin on em out, and bed jist dragged cm
to the door, when I met him enterin it.
"Wat is this ?"' said he, with a surprised
look.
"We're futtin out these cussed wenches,
who is contaminatin yoor children and mine,"
sed I. "Ketch hold uv that pekoolyerly dis
gusting one yonder," sed I.
"Wenches. You, d—d skoundrel, them
girls is my girls!"
And without waitin for explanashen, the
infooriated monster sailed into me, the skool
warm laying over on one uv the benches
explodin in peels uv 'after, the like UV with
I never heard. The three girls, indignant at
being mistook for nigger wenches, assisted
their parent, and, between em, in about four
minutes I wuz insensible. One uv the trus
tees, pityin my woes, took me to the neerest
raleroad stashen, and, somehow, I know not,
I got home, Where am at present recoo
peratin.
I hey only to say that when I go on rich a
trip again, I shel require as condislien prece
dent that the Afrikins to be put out shel hey
enuff Afrikin into em to prevent Bich mis
takes. But, good Lord, Wa i t hevent I suffered
in this cause? •
ESTROMMI NAMIY, P. M.,
(WWI is PoitrruiStii,tr.)
Social Life In erase/Aft.
Dr. Belhme Nvntes froxri 13erlio to the
Liberal Christian: ,
"The education to cleardineßs, decent man
sera, good carriage and reapectfartoehavlor,
~~►~~:~ ~iNDIiIEI~'
which this great camp called Prussia secures,
is something most instructive to see. The
soldiers do not look brutal, coarse or selsual..
There is some secret about their training
which neither the . French nor the English
have caught. , It musti be .a goed deal in the
German blood—which is not hot, but as ,if
made of beer, not' b,eef•-•-a little cool and
sluggish. The German Military spirit 19 en
forced and corrected by the universal educa
tion of the people.,'German soldiers and
sailors are different fom Airterican or English
or French. They are'neither drunkards, nor
quarrelsome, nor reckless. The, union of a
careful elementary education with a universal
participation in the soldiers' calling, takes
away the exceptional character of a licensed
rudeness which belong to sot diers when they
are only a special class of the population.
"But, doubtless, this soldier-hfe, so favora
ble to order and decorum, and even so chas
tening to youthful passions, has another and
a most painful side to it. It drills the Prus
sian youth to mechanical habits, represses
personal enterprise, delays the self-relying
qualities in their Character, habituates them
to being taken care of, encourages them to
lives ot busy idleness, and sacrifices each to
all, the people to the country. Accordingly,
there is a general spirit of listlessness, occu
pation with immediate Rleasures, or magni
fying of eating and drinking as very serious
occupations, a contentment with humble
means, a patient waiting for slow advance
ment, which it is discouraging to see in so
well educated, so respectable and so•orderly a
peop e.
"Quick as Prussia'is in arms—because her
military life is all reduced to machinery, and
the machinery is in the finest order and can
be set in motion in an hour—there is no other
quickness about her. She is a slow country.
Every practical interest lags. Her workmen
are slow, and do not effect a day three
fourths of the work of an English or Ameri
can workman. It drives ore nearly crazy to
see how many•arms there , are on the levers
by which the smallest object is reached. In
the restaurants one man receives the order,
another carries it, a third transfers it, a fourth
executes it, a fifth receives the thing exe
cuted, and a' sixth makes it over to the original
orderer. It takes twenty minutes 'to get' a
chop which would be before you in five
minutes in an American eating-house. There
is a system of military subordination running
through the whole social and economical
life, and this narrows and limits everybody's
sphere, and contracts and paralyzes energy
and hope."
The Paris police and Individual
Liberty.
The Paris Moniteur announces that the
Prefect of Police has addressed the following
circular to the commissaries of police of the,
city of Paris
—Gentlemen : On the occurrence of, in
cidents, the character of which it has been
attempted to misrepresent, but to which
justice, in repressing them; has restored their
true signification, a kind of clamor has lately
arisen among part of the press, taking for
pretext the defence of individual linerty,
which , has never, •under any, regime, been
better guarantied or more respected than at
present. These attacks are based upon a
theory which goes the length of denying to
the entire police the right of proceeding spon
taneously to any arrest whatever, even
in Ilagrante delieto, unless in the cases of
crimes cognizable, by the courts of assize.
According to this theory, the • practical con
sequences of which the authors would not
dare to avow, the law which has instituted
functionaries charged with the maintenance
of public order has itself rendered them
powerless. c Without coming under the pro
visions of the penal bode, and rendering them
selves guilty of arbitrary arrest, they could
not, for instance, seize either the utterers of
seditious cries, or of crowds disturbing the
public peace,or the stranger surprised in
flagrante elieto of ordinary theft, of acts
of violence against the person, of indecent out
rages, or insults or threats towards a mother
of a family or a young girl, & - c.=of any
offence whatever, in fact, not cognizable by
a jury.
. .
" This is saying that the police ought,
under pain of forfeiture,to remain inactive and
motionless during the flagrant perpetration
of a series of (,ffences which incessantly
threaten in every great capital the safety of
persons and things. In what civilized
society could the example be found of a
legislation which would consecrate such
enormities? The sacred principle of in
dividual liberty is profaned by making it
serve thus as a pretext for polemical excesses,
which upset the most elementary notions
upon which social life rests. Simple good
sense will dispose of such theories by them
selves ; but the conclusions to which they
lead might fatally disturb public opinion,
urge the over-credulous into rebellion, and
trouble good citizens, by leaving upon em
the impression that they are liable to remain
without efficient protection in presence :of
culpable and criminal acts. It is therefore
necessary to reject them publicly, in the
name of public security. They might also
trouble some of the auxiliaries of justice and
the police, towards whom they constitute
veritable attempts at intimidation.
"It is the duty of the administration to dis
tinctly declare its right, and to warn its agents
against all hesitation and faltering. Such is
the object of this circular. You have more
than the right, it is your imperious duty, in
your two-fold capacity of officers' of.judicial
police and functionaries of the administrative
police, to seize or caused to be seized, so as
to be taken before the magistrates of the judi
cial order, all individuals surprised in fla
grante &lido, and all individuals disturb
ing the public order,r peace. Fortify, there
fore, the confidence of your agents, and con
tinue peacefully and in all security the exer
cise of your functions. Bring to them, With
the love of the public welfare, which ought
to be your constant rule, the calmness, the
it g
moderation, the scrupulous respect of hi al
forms, and that spirit of-good will and a
sure which. I have unceasingly recommen ed
to you.ii- Thus understood, your mission Will
not only not expose you to the proceedi gs
with which it is attempted to threaten y u,
but it will obtain for you the gratitude of e
population, asit ensures you beforehand y
most vigilant and firm protection.

at Mobile;fornhdoting, with a pistol, F. B. Sheppard,
citizen who was at the time a prisoner under the goy
rnment. The accused, in August, was convicted of
conduct prejudicial to good order and military disci
pline, and was sent enced to be suspended from rank
rand command for six months, to forfeit his pay
proper, for the same period, and to be reprimanded in
order by thqcominanding general.
The record in this case was returned to the court on
the 16th of November, when they decided to adhere to
the original sentence. A new court was, however,
subsequently convened, when Captain Schaff was
arriiigned on the charge of manslaughter and assault
and battery with intent to kill, and he was fotindguilty
otdiscbarging a pistol at Sheppard, thereby wound
ing him in the neck, with the intent feloniously and
wilfully to kill. The order says the findings show
that In the opinion of the commander the demtioxi
did not die of the wound inflicted on him by Captain
Schaff. The court sentenced Schaff to be fined 8300,
and to be confined in such military priion as the com
mending general might direct, for the period of six
months. General Pope approved the sentence, and
designated Fort Palaski as. the place of confinement.

that, with a view to the unification ofithe world's coin,
that the weight and value of the Lnited States five
dollar piece shall agree with those of the French coin
of twenty-five francs, the other sizes and denomina
tions of our coinarze to be in proportion, and all of
the fineness of nine-tenths.
.The sliver coins are
made to conform to the French standard by fixing the
weight of the half dollar at 172 grains, Troy. The
coinage of silver pieces of one dollar, dye cents and
throe cents, Is discontinua. Tile value of the gold
colas is to be stated on them,, both in dollars and in
francs, and , in case Great Britain shall conform the
..p.und sterling to ,the value of the five dollar piece,;
then the value in British terms shall also be stated.
••„, ,Another section of the bill makes the foreign coins
conformed to this standard a legal tender in all Pay
meuts,whatsoever so long as they are kept up to it,and
it iP made the duty of the Director of the Mint to as •
. certain whether this is done by testing a sufficient
number of such coins once every year, and in case
of a deficiency being found, the right of legal tender
may be suspended by the Secretary of the Treasary.
When gold and silver coins of the United States shall
be brought to the mint and its branches for recoinage.
all that were issued famine-tenths fine shall be so re
coined, hut all others by assay: 'No charge is to be
made for coinage, seignorage, or Internal revenue on
amounts so exchanged, but other deposits of gold for
coinage shall pay one half of one per cent. Upon the.
. passage of the act, the Secretary of the Treasury is to
declare the rates at which coins of the United States
and of foreign countries shall be reekoned,such state-
Innate to be based noon estimates furnished by the
wailrector of the mint. The act ta to take effect on
f January 1, 1869, but the mint may receive United
ki States gold and silver for recolnage on and after the
%+% fret day of October next, giving certificates there
for, payable in the new coin in the order of receipt,
and converting the metal thus received into ingots and
planchets, ready for stamping when the act goes into
, effect.
` On motion of Mr. HARLAN, Of lowa, Mr. MORTON,
, of Indiana, introduced a joint resolution providing—
' • )3171.erea8, Not more than a dozen persons have been
konvicted for frauds on revenue ' in evading whisky
and other taxes, thus relieving the perpetrators of
frauds from danger, and offering a premium for swind
ling the government—the only penalty being a flue
amounting to less than the tax—neither the Secretary
of the Treasury, collectors, district attorneys, or other
„judicial or treasury officers shall have power to com
• Promise such frauds, but it shall be their duty to pros
ecute such offenders, without reference or compro
'-"" raise. Laid on the table. .
'qMr. JOHNSON, of Maryland, moved, as a privileged
uestion, to take up the resolution admitting his col
league elect, the lion. PhilipP. Thomas, of Maryland,
' to his Boat. After objection by Sumner and Howard,
, -on the ground that the printed documents had only to
'day been laid on their desks, without Ham buying
been afforded for perilsal,
Mr. Joimisox said he would not. press a vote, but de
sired to speak and then move to postpone. Alluding,
in passing, to the difficulties under which the Judiciary
Committee had' labored, among:the multiplicity of
charges, from the absence of witnesses, &c„
"'maimedbe • took up . the charge of 'disloyalty
i
to have been exhibited while
Secretary of the Treasury under Buchanan, in con
spiring with his predecessor, to deplete the Treasury,
so as to render it impossible for the government to
maintain its credit by meeting the interest on the
public debt to mature in the following January;
transferring funds available, from New York to the
auth, so as to fall into the hands of the Confederates,
the purpose of secession being then well known.
This was a charge made by the Directors of the Bank
, Af Commerce, in New York, in a report to the share
, 4:llders in 1862 or 1863. Had it turned out to be true,
(Johnson) should have thought he was not entitled
"'to a seat, but it turned out wholly unwarranted. In
December, when appointed Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr. Thomas found that his predecessor had left little
.or no money in the Treasury, whether ' from bad
motives he (Johnson) would not say; but gentlemen
seemed to have thought it for the interests of the
United States, in which probably the President con
curred; to payon'tpublic; debt. Auother charge
had been made in to a fact, attention to which
haffibeen called by e Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sher.
man), namely. that on the night of his nomination by
41 1 e, Maryland Legislature, Ur. TCLOMIIa had wade a
..eject; conk
he not, by refusing`it. nave withheld his son from the
accomplishment of his rebel purpose?
Mr. JOIINFON said he had been unfortunate in fail
ing to make himself understood by the Senator, and
proceeded to repeat what ho said In regard to' Mr.
Thomas' object in giving the money.
Mr. BratuNna, of Vermont, said it bad been hist
misfortune to fail to see that a person under the cir
cumstances detailed bad not given aid and comfort to
the enemies of the United State& It was not a ques
tion of sympathy, but purely an intellectual question,
and they should not shut their eyes to what seemed to
him the most obvious truth from the evidence. Mary
land bad a right to select her representatives, provided
she selected those legally qualified. It this were a
question of sympathy, anot sentiment he trusted
was as deeply implanted bathe hearts of Senators as
love for their children. That is 'me of country and
hatred of treason. He Wonld briefly refer to the evi
dence to defesd the view of those members of the Ju
dicial', Committee who differed from the Senatorifrom
Maryland. He believed the evidence amply
showed disloyalty on the part of Mr. Thomm.
That gentleman had expressed sympathy for the
enemies of his country, and his speec in accepting
the Senatorship showed that he still adhered to it.
Ile was laboring under a delusion, but had a right to
that delusion. Ile had famished this money for this
purpose to his son, who was, by the laws of baryland,
subject to his control, and by the laws of morals. Did
his father oppose the act of treason? By no means;
bat on the same ground that many an affectionate
parent has based opposition to his son's joining the
nion army ,that he would be exposed to suffering and
death; that be would not gain henor or credit by it.
The laet, however. the Union man would not have'
said. He bad opposed the act became the lines were
well-guarded by the soldiers that we were obliged to
keg p from active service for that purpose. The young
man bad to be furnished with the means to get
through the lines hr order to join this Maryland regi
ment.
Mr. Hollow - Ds then read portions of the testimony,
and said the conelusion was irresistible that such was
the object; doubtless, to keep the boy from want, was
the motive;, perhaps the only one,but the Senator from
Maryland confounded the purpose with, the motive.
L a he shoo d suffer (torn disease or tarvation. he
said the best mode to avoid that was to have withheld
the supplies which enabled him to go. This duty he
did not perform. He could have evidenced his loyalty
that manner. The excuse wagon insufficient one.
Mr. flown, of Wisconsin. said that under other cir
cumstances he might think it necessary to wade
through all this testimony, but on the statements by
the Senator from Maryland (Mr. Johnson). bethought
the case was a clear one, and not because Mr. Thomas
bad given his son a 6100. but because he had given
his son in aid of the rebel service. be, however,
could—not, with his present views, vote to exclude
that gentleman frerri the Sena'e. Maryland being a
State the same as New York or Massachusetts, had a
right to be represented here by two Senators. •
3 , 1 r. 'Bowen]) asked whether if Kentucky 'should
send Jefferson Davis as a Senator the gentleman
would permit him to take his seat withoat objection,
and said be, it is a thing that .might transpire. We
do not know.
Mr. Bows would not agree to Davis taking his
seat without objection. He should inquire whether
he were a resident of Kentucky In the first place.
Mr tiowsun intended to premise that be bad such
constitutional qualifications.
Mr. Howe raid he would not object to the adults-
Mon on account of treason. He went on to argue that
a constitnency,and not their representatlves,should be
disqualified for treason It dt existed.
After further debate by Messrs. Stewart, Howe,
and Trumbull, Mr. Johnson withdrew his motion to
postpone, and the bill was laid aside.
Mr. SUMNER, of Massachusetts, then called up the,
bill for the repeal of the cotton ax. which was laid
over until to-morrow, and the Senate adjourned.
n i OUNO of Representatives.
GENERAL HANCOCK.
Mr. ELDRIDGE. of Wisconsin, Introduced a joint

referred to a committee.
