/ In: a momentaryA)i|M^nc4memory, a i
friend of mine once-miggestea to me, the idea
that Lady Macbeth’s exclamation in the
Bleeping scene—“ The Thano of Fite had a
wife: where is she now?”—was a conscieuce-
Btricken reference to herself, and her own tost
condition- Of course, the hypothecs was
immediately abandoned on the
that Macbeth never had been i Thane ot
Fife,'! and that it la Macduff’s .slaughtered
mate Lady Macbeth is dreaming of—the
poordame who, with all her pretty chickens,
was destroyed at one fell swoop by Mac
beth’Bmmderous cruelty. , ,
■ The conversation that ensued led me to
inflect on this mistaken suggestion of my
ftimid, as involving a much deeper mistake
—in’ important psychological error. Not
only the fact was not as suggested, but a fact
of i&at nature—viz., an accusing return upon
herself by Lady Macbeth—could not be.
Xady, Macbeth, even in her sleep, has no
qualms of conscience; her remorse takes none
of the tenderer forms akin to repentance, nor
the Weaker ones allied to fear, from the pur
suit of which, the tortured soul, seeking
where to hide Itself, not seldom escapes into
the boundless wilderness of madness.
A very able article, published some years
agodh ; toe^d£tohaf , 'Jtct)fetu, : bn the cha
racter of Lady Macbeth, insists much upon
ah opinion that she died of remorse,' as some
palliation of heir crimes, and mitigation of our
detestation of them. That she died of wick
edness would be,l think, a juster verdict.
Bemorse is Consciousness of guilt—often, in
deed, no'more akin to saving contrition than
the faith of devils, whotremble, and believe,
is to saving faith—but still conscio.usncss of
guilt: and that I think Lady Macbeth never,
had; though the unrecognized pressure of
her great gtiilt drilled her. > I think her life
was destroyed by sin,as by a disease of which
She was unconscious; and that she died of a
broken heart, while the impenetrable resolu
tion of her wiU temained unbowed. The
spirit was willing, but the; flesh was weak;
the body can sin but so much
other deadly passions besides those of vio
lence ’and sensuality can wear away its
fine tissues,' and undermine its wonderful
fabric. ' The woman’s mortal frame suc
cumbed to the tremendous weight of sin and
suffering which her immortal soul had power
to sustain; and, having destroyed its tempo
ral house of earthly sojourn, that soul, unex
hausted by its wickedness, went forth into its
new abode of eternity.
The nature of Lady Macbeth, even when
prostrated in sleep before the Supreme Aven
ger whom Blie keeps at bay daring her con
scious hours by the exercise of her indomita
ble will 'and Tesolute power ot purpose, is
incapable of any salutaiy spasm of moral an
guish; or hopeful paroxysm of mental horror.
The,irreparable is still to her the
rable,—“'What’s done cannot be undone:
and her slumbering eyes see no more gbosls
than her watchful waking ones believe in: “I
tell yon yet again, Banquo is buried; he can
not Coine out of his grave.” Never, even in
her dreams, does any gracious sorrow smite
from her stony heart the blessed brine of tears
that wash away sin; never,even in her dream
do the avenging furies lash her through
purgatorial flames that burn away guilt; and
the dreary but undismayed desolation in
which her spirit abides forever is quite other
than that darkness, however deep, which the
soul acknowledges; and whence it may yet
behold the breaking of a dawn shining far off
from round the mercy seat. /
The nightmare of a butcher (could a
butcher deserve to be so visited for the un
happy necessity of his calling) is more akin
to the haunting's which beset the woman who
has strangled conscience and all her brood of
Eleading.angels, and deliberately araled her
eart and mind against all those suggestions
of beauty or fear which succor the vacilla
ting Eense of right in the human soul with
promptings less imperative than those of con
science, but of flue subtle power sometimes
to supplement her law.. justly is she haunted
by “blood,” who, in the hour of her atrocities
exclaims to her partner, when his appalled
imagination reddens the whole ocean with the
bloody hand he seeks to cleanse, “A little
water clears us of this deed!” Therefore
blood —the feeling of blood, the sight of
blood, the stnell of blood—is the one ignoble
hideous retribution which has dominion over
her. Intruding a moral element of which she
is conscious into Lady Macbeth’s puuishment
is a capital error, because her punishment;
in its very essence, consists *iu her infinite
distance from all such influences. Macbeth, to
the very end, may weep,and wring liis h inds,
and tear liis hair, and gnash hi 9 teeth,ami be
wail the lost estate of his soul, though with
him, too,the dreadful process is one ofgradual
. induration. For he retains the unutterable
consciousness of a soul; he has a perception
of having einned, of being fallen,.of having
wanderod, of being lost; and so he cries to
his physician for a remedy for that “wounded
spirit,” heavier to bear than all other con
ceivable sorrow: and utters, in words bit-
terer than death, the doom of his own de
serted, despised, dreaded, and detested old
age. He may be visited to the end by those
noble pangs which bear witness
to the pre-eminent nobility of the
nature he has desecrated, and sug
gest a reascension, even from the bottom
of that dread aby63 into which he has fallen,
but from the depths of which he yet beholds
the everlasting light which gives him' con
sciousness of its darkness.' But nha may none
of this: she may but feel, and see aud smell
blood; and wonder at the unquenched stream
that Bhe still wades in,^—“Who would have
thought the old man to have had so much blood
in him ? r —and fly, hunted through the nights
by that “knocking at the door” which beats the
wearied life at last out of her stony heart and
seared impenetrable brain.
' 1 once read a pamphlet that made
a very strong impression upon me,
on the subject of the possible annihilation of
the human soul as the consequence ol’ sin.
•The author, supposing goodness to be near
ness to God, and jbis to be the cause of vi
tality in the soul, suggested the idea of. a
gradual, voluntary departure from God, which
should cause the gradual darkening aud li aal
utter .extinction of the spirit. I confess that
this Iheory of spiritual self-extinction through
sin- seemed to me a thousand times more ap
palling than the most terrific vision of ever
lasting torment.
Taking the view Ido of Lady Macbeth's
character, I cannot accept the idea (held,! be
lieve, by 1 her great representative, Mrs. Sid
dons) that in the banquet scene the ghost of
Uanquo,which appears to Macbath,ia seen at
the same time by nis wife, but that, in conse
-~ -rjnence-of-ber greater-command over- herself,-
she not only exhibits no sign of perceiving the
- -, apparition, but can,with its hideous form, and
gesture within u few feet of her,rail at Macbadi
in that language of scathing irony which
combined with his own terror,‘ elicits lroui
from him the incoherent and yet too danger
ously .BlgnHicimt appeals with which .he
agonizes ner aud a-mazes the court.
To this supposition 1 must again object that
lady--Macbeth is tno ghostrseor. She is

all Shakespeare’s plays. ‘ That sue is godless,
and i nibless in the pursuit of tho objects of
he: ambition, does not make her such. Many
men have been so; and she Sa that unusual
and unnmiuble (but not altogether Unnatural)
creature, a masculine woman, in the only
real significance of that much misapplied
epithet-
Lady Macbeth was this' she possessed
the qualities which generally characterize
men, aad not women,—energy, decision,
daring, unscrupulousness; ; a deficiency
of imagination, a great preponderance of
the positive and practical mental ele
ments; a powerlul and rapid appreciation or
w hat each, exigency of circumstance de
manded, and the coolness and resolution .ne
cessary for its immediate execution.
Lady Macbeth’s Character has more of the.
essentially manly nature in it than that ot
Macbeth. The absence of imagination, to
gether with a certain obtusoness of the ner
vous system, is the condition, that goes to
produce that rare quality —physical courage
■Which’ She posesses in a pre-eminent degree.
This cofnbination of deficiencies is seldom
found in men, infinitely seldomer in women;
and ’ its invariable result is insensi
bility to many things—among others,
insensibility to danger. Lady Macbeth
was nut so bloody as her husband,
for she was by no means equally liable
to fear; she would not have hesitated a mo
nient. to commit any crime that she consid
ered ' necessary for • her purposes, but she
would always have known what were .and
what were not necessary crimes. We find it
difficult to imagine that, if she. had underta
ken ihe murder of Banquo and Fleance, the
latter would have been allowed to escape,
and impossible to conceive that she . would
have ordered the useless and impolitic
slaughter of Macduff’s family and followers,
after he toad„ fled to England, from
a there rabid movement of impotent hatred
and apprehension. ‘ She was never made
Ravage by femorse, or cruel by terror.
. There -is nothing that seems to me more
false than the common estimate ofcruelty, as
connected with the details of crime. Could
the annals and statistics of murder be made
to show the prevailing temper under which
the most, atrocious crimes have been com
mitted, there is little doubt that those which
present the most revolting circumstances of
cruelty would be fqund to have been perpe
trated by men of more, rathei; than less, ner
vous sensibility, or irritability, than the aver
age; for it is precisely in such organizations
that hatred, horror, fear, remorse, dismay
and a certain blind, bloodthirsty rage, com
bine under evil excitement to produce that
species of delirium under the influence of
which, as of some.infernal ecstacy, the most
horrible atrocities are perpetrated.
Lady Macbeth was of far- too powerful
an organization to be liable to the frenzy of
miogled emotions by which her wretched
husband is assailed; and when, in the very
first hour of her miserable exaltation, she
perceives that the ashes of the Dead Sea are
io lie henceforth her daily bread, when
the" crown is placed upon her brow,
and she feels that the “golden round” is
lined with red-hot iron, she accepts the dis
mal truth with one glanco of steady recogni
tion :
"Like some bold leer in a trance,
Beholding all her own mischance,
Mute—with a glassy countenance.'’
She looks down ihe dreary vista of the
coming years, and, having admitted that
“naught’s had, all’s spent,” dismisses her fate,
without further comment,from consideration,
and applies herself forthwith to encourage,
cheer and succor, with the support of her
superior strength, the finer yet feebler spirit
of her husband.
Iu denying lo Lady Macbeth all the pecu
liar s-cnsibiliiies of her sex (for they are all
included in ils pre-eminent characteristic, —
the maternal instinct, —and there is no doubt
that the illustration of the quality of her
resolution by the assertion that she
would have dashed her baby’s brains
out, if she had sworn to do it, is no
mere figure of speech, but very certain
earnest) Shakespeare has not divested her
of natural feeling to the degree of placing her
without the pale of our common humanity.
Her husband shrank from the idea of her
hearing women like herself, but not ‘‘males,”
oi whom he thought her a tit mother: and
i she retains enough of the nature of tnankind,
: if not Of womankind, to bring her within the
> circle of our toleration, and make us accept
I her as potisiblc. Thus the solitary positive
;■ instance of her sensibility has nothing ospe
' dally feminine about it. Her momentary
! relenting in the act of stabbing .Dunc-iin,
j because he resembled her father as he slept,
: is a touch of human tenderness by which
; most men might be overcome, while the
I smearing her hands in the warm gore of the
i slaughtered old man, is an act of physical
I insensibility which not one w’oma’n out of a
! thousand would have had nerve or stomach
: for :
That Hhakespeare never imagined Binqno's j
ghost to be visible to Lady Macbeth in the ,
banquet-bail seems to me abundantly proved ;
(however infierentially) by the mode in which
he has represented such apparitions as affect- ; (
inn all the men who in his dramas are sub- ,
jeeted to this supreme test of courage,—good ;
men, whose minds are undisturbed by ■
remorse;, brave men, soldiers, . pre- ,
paved to face danger in every shape |
(“ but that") in which they may i
be called upon to "meet it.. For instance, ;
take the demeanor of Horatio, Marcelltfs and Id
Bernardo, throughout the scene so finely ex- !,'.
pressive of their terror aud dismay at tho ap- j
pearancc of the ghost, and in which the cli- I
max is their precipitating themselves together
towards the object of their horror, striking at
it w ith their partisans; a wonderful represen
tation of the eilect of fear upon creatures of
a naturally courageous constitution, which
Shakespeare has reproduced iu the ecstasy of
terror with which Macbeth himself finally
rushes npon the terrible vision which un
mans him, ami drives it from before him
with frantic outcries aud despairing gestures.
It is no on frequent exhibition of fear in a
courageous hoy lo ily at and strike the object
of his dismay,—a sort oi‘ instinctive method
of ascertaining ils nature, and so disarming
ils ttiTors; ami these men are represented by
Shakespeare as thus expressing the utmost
impulse of a tear, to the intensity of which
their winds hear ample witness. Horatio
says; “it burrows me with fear and wonder.”
Bernardo says to him: “How row, Horatio!
you imnbie aud turn pale!” and Horatio, de
scribing the vision and ils effect upon himself

The second time that Hamlet sees his father’s
j -ghost, when one might' suppose that .some-.
thing of the horror attendant upon, such a
i visitation would have been dispelled by the
j previous experience, his mother thus depicts
i -the anpearance that he presents to her: —
• • Forth at jour eyes jour spirits: wildly peep;
And, as the sleeping BOldiers In the alarm,
Your bedded htur, uke life in excrements,
Sturts up and stands on end.”
What a description of the mere physical re
vulsion with which living flesh and blood
shrinks from the cold simulacrum of. life,— so
like and so utterly Unlike,—so familiar ’ and
yet so horribly strange! The agony is physi
cal,—not of the soul; for
“What can it do to that,.
Being a thing immortal as itself ?”
exclaims the undaunted spirit of the young
man; and in the closet scene, with his mother,
passionate pity and tenderness for his father
are the only emotions Hamlet expresses with
his lips, while his eyes start from their sockets,
and his hair rears itself on his scalp, With the
terror inspired by the proximity of that “gra
cious figure-” . .
In “Julius Caesar,’’the emotion experienced
by Brutus at the sight of Caesar's ghost is, u
possible.even more to the purpose. The spirit
of the firm Homan, composed to peaceful
meditation after his tender and sweet recon
ciliation with his friend, and his exquisite
kindness to his sleeny.young slave, is quietly
directed to the subject of his study, when the
ghost of Caesar appears to him, darkening by
‘ls presence the light of the taper by which
he reads, and to which Shakspeare, aeeord
ng to the superstition of his day, imparts
his sensitiveness to the preternatural influ
ence. Brutus, in questioning his awful visi
tor, loses none of his stoical steadfastness of
soul, and yet speaks of his blood running,
cold, and his hair staring with the horror ot
the unearthly visitation.
Surely, haying thus depicted the eflect ot
such an experience on such men a 3 Horatio,
Hamlet, Brutus and Macbeth, Shakespeare
can never have represented a woman, even
though that woman was the bravest ot her
sex, and almost of her kind, as subjected to
a like ordeal and utterly unm’oved by it* An
argument which appears to me conclusive
on the point, however, is, that in the sleeping
scene Laay Macbeth divulges nothing ol the
kind; and, even ii it were possible to conceive
her intrepidity equal to absolute silence and
self-command under the intense and mingled
terrors of the banquet scene with a perception
of Banquo's. apparition, it is altogether im
possible to imagine that the emotion she
controlled then should not reveal itself in the
hodr of those unconscious confessions when
she involuntarily strips bare . the festering
plagues of her bosom to the night and her
appalled watchers, and in her ghastly slum
bers, with the step and voice of some horrible
automaton, moved by no human volition,
but-a dire compelling necessity, acts over
again the mysteries of iniquity with which
she has-been familiar. But, on the contrary,
while wringing from her handß the warm
gore of the murdered Duncau, and draggiug,
with the impotent effort of her agonized
nightmare, ber husband away from the
sound of the “knocking" which reverber
ates still in the distracted chanibers of her
brain, almost the last words she articulates
are: “ I tell you yet again, Banquo is buried;
he cannot come out of his grave.” Assuredly
she never saw his ghost.
I'am not inclined to agree, either, with the
view which lends any special tenderness to
Lady Macbeth's demeanor towards her hus
band after the achievement of their bad emi
nence. She is not a woman to waste words,
any more than other means to ends; and,
therefore, her refraining from all reproaches
at the disastrous close of their great festival
is perfectly consistent with the vehemence
of her irony, so long as she could hope by its
fierce stimulus to rouse Macbeth from the de
lirium of tenor into which he is thrown bj'
the sight of Banquo’s ghost. While urging
her husband to the King’s murder, she uses,
with all the power and weight she can give
to it, the “valor of her tongue,” which she
foresaw' in the first hour of receiving the
written news of his advancement would be
requisite, to “chastise'’ the irresolution of liis
spirit and.the fluctuations of his purposes. She
lias her end to gain by talking, and she talks
till she does gain it; and in those moments
of mortal agony, when his terrors threaten
with annihilation the fabric of their lor
mnes,—that fearful fabric, based on such
infinite depths of guilt, ceuieuted with
such costly blood,—when she secs him rush
ing upon inevitable ruin, and losing every
consciousness but that of his own crimes,
she, like the rider whose horse, maddened
with fear, is imperilling his own and that
rider's existence, drives the rowels of her
piercing irony into him, and with a hand ot
iron guides, and urges, and lifts him over the
danger. But, except in those supreme m
stants, Where her purpose is to lash and gcJSd
him past the obstruction of his own terrors,
her habitual tone, from beginning to end, is
of a sort of contemptuous compassion
towards the husband whose moral superiority
of nature she perceives and despises, as men
not seldom put by the liner and truer view of
duty of women, as too delicate lor common
use, a weapon of- too fine a temper for
worldly warfare.
Her analysis of his .character while still
holding in her hand his affectionate letter,
her admonition to him that his face betrays
the secret disturbance of his mind; her advice
that he will commit the business of the King’s
murder to her management, her grave and
almoßt kind solicitude at his moody solitary
brooding over the irretrievable past, and her
compassionate suggestion at the close of the
banquet scene,—
“You want the season of all natures, —sleep,”
when she must have seen the utter- bopelcs3-
ness of long concealing crimes which the
miserable murderer would himself inevitably
reveal in some convulsion of ungovernable
remorse, are all indications of her own sense
of superior power over the man whose; ma
ture wants the “illnesß” with which hers is
so terribly endowed, who would “holily” that
which he would “highly,” who would'not
“play false,” and yet Would “wrongly win.”
Nothing, indeed, can be more wonderfully
perfect than Shakespeare's delineation of the
evil nature of these two human souls—the
evil-strength of the one and the evil'weakness
of the other. . , :
The woman’s wide-eyed, bold, collected
leap into the abyss makes us gulp with ter
ror; while we wateh the nWs • sit?&ingr
shrinking, clinging, gradual slide ihtsJtjtoith
a protracted agony akin to his own.
In admirable harmony with the conception
of both characters is the absence in the Case

‘ Jlor has, Shakespeare failed > to . show how
well, up to a certain point, the :Deyil Berves
those who servo him well. The whole-hearted
wickedness of Lady Macbeth buys that ex
emption from “present fears” and “horrible
imaginings” which Macbeth's halt-allegi
ance to right: cannot purchase for him. In
one sense, good consciences—that is, tender
ones —may be said to be the only bad ones;
the very worst alone are those that hold their
peace, and cease from clamoring. In sin, as
in all other things, thoroughness has its re
ward; and the reward is blindness to fear,
deafness to remorse, hardness to good, and
moral insensibility to moral torture the
deadily gangrene instead of the agony of
cauterization; a degradation below shame,
fear, and pain. This point Lady Macbeth
reaches at once, while from the first scene ot
the play to the last the wounded soul
of Macbeth writhes, and cries, and groans,
overit3 own gradual deterioration. Inces
sant returns upon himßclf and his own con
dition, betray astat,e' of moral disquietude
which is as iu-boding an omen of the spiritual
state as the morbid feeling of his own pulse
by a sickly self-observing invalid is of the
physical condition: afid, from the beginning
to the end of his career, the several stages of
his progress in guilt are marked by his own
bitter consciousness of it. First, the Btartled
misgiving as to his'own motives:
“This supernatural soliciting
Canpot be ill,—cannot bo good.”
Then the admission of the necessity for the
treacherous cowardly.assumption 01, friendly
hospitality, from'which the brave man’s na
ture and soldier’s alike revolt:
“False face must hide what the false heart must
know.”
Then the panic-stricken horror of the in
sisting : - ■ "
“But why could I not pronounce Amen i
I bad most need of blessing, and Amen
Stuck in my throat.”
The vertigo of inevitable retribution :•
“Glamis doth murder Bicep,
And therefore Cawdor shall sleep no more.
Macbeth Bhall sleep no more!”
The utter misery of the question:
“How is it with me, when cv'ry noise appalls
me?”
The intolerable bitterness of the thought:
"For Ban quo’s issue have Ijiled mg breast.
And mine eternal jtm:l given;
Given to the common enemy of minkiud.”
Later comes the consciousness of stony
loss of fear aDd pity :
The time has been
Mv senses would have cooled to hoar a night
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
Cannot onco stir me!”
After this, the dreary wretchedness of his
detested and despised old ngeconfronts him :
‘‘And that which should accompany old age,
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have.”
Most wonderful of all is it, after reviewing
the successive steps of this dire declension ol
the man's moral nature, to turn back to his
first acknowledgment of that Divine govern
ment, that Supreme-Rule of Right, by which
the deeds of men meet righteous retribution
“ Here , even here, upon this bank and shoal
of Time”; that unhesitating ‘confession of
faith in the immutable justice and goodness
of God with which he first,opens the debate
in his bosom, and contrasts it With the des
perate blasphemy which he utters in the hour
of his soul's final overthrow, when he pro
claims lilt—man’s life, the precious and
mysterious object of God's moral govern
ment- , ,

The'preservation of Macbctlr's dignity in:a
degree sufficient to retain our sympathy, iu
spite of the preponderance of his wife’s, na
ture over his, depends on the two factsof his
undoubted heroism in his relations with men,
and his great tenderness for the womanwhose
evil will is made powerful over his partly by his
affection for her. It is remarkable that
hardly one scene passes where they are
brought together,in which he does not address
10 her some endearing appellation; and,
from his first written words to her whom he
calls'bis “Dearest partner of greatness,” to
his pathetic appeal to her physician for some
alleviation - of her moral plagues, a
love of extreme strength and tender
ness is constantly manifested in every
address to or mention of her that he
makes. lie seeks her sympathy alike in the
season of his prosperous fortune and in the
hour of his mental anguish:
‘‘Oh, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!”
andinthis same-scenethere is a touch -of
essentially manly reverence for the wo manly
nature ot her who has so little of it, that
deserves to be classed among Shake
speare’s most exquisite inspiration; his re
fusing to pollute his wife’s mind with the
bloody horror of Banquo’s proposed mur
der. ’ ,
“Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck!”
is a conception full of the tenderest and
deepest reflneiheht, contrasting wonderfully
with the hard, unhesitating cruelty of her
immediate suggestion in reply to his: .
“ Thou knbw’st that Banquo and hlsFleanee live,
But in them Nature’s copy’s not cterne";
by which she clearly demonstrates that her
own, wickedness not only keeps : pace with
his, but has indeed, as in the business of the
king’s murder, reached at a bound that goal
towards which he has struggled by slow
degrees.
, At the end of the. banquet-scene he appeals
to her for her opinion on the danger threat
ened by Macduff’s contumacious refusal of
their Invitation, and from first to last he so
completely leans on her for support and
solace in their miserable partnership of .guilt
and woe, that when we hear the ominous
words, , ■■ '
“My Lord, the Queen is dead!”
we see him stagger under the blow which
strikes from him the prop of that undaunted
spirit, in whose valor he found the never-fail
ing stimulus of his" owm
;; In the final encounter between Macbeth and
the appointed avenger of blood, it appears to
me that the suggestion of hiß want or perso

sented memorials of ofilcors of the volunteer

introduced by Mr. Wilson, refativo to commuta

arc equitable, and grow out of a la.w of Congress,
the decision'of which is now ponding In the Su-
S retie. Court. Referred to the Committee on
iilituAv Affairs. -: .
Mr. Wilson (Mass*) doubted whether any
legislation was riewsary on the subject. It was
a question for the Court to decide. In his opinion
the intention of Congress in the law referred to
was otherwise.

ing be established. Referred to the Committee
on Finance.
Mr. Anthony, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, reported a bill to restore Lieutenant-
Commander Abbott to the retired list, whiqh was
taken up and passed.!
On motion of Mr. Trumbull, the bill to autho
rize temporary supplying of vacancies In the
Executive Departments, reported by him yester
day: was taken up. ,- . ,
Mr. Fessenden asked whether thirty days was
•not an unneccMarllylong timefor incumbency of
Euch vacancies. ’ ‘
Mr. Trumbull said as the laty now stands, the
President could snpply vacancies for eight
months, which hod been thought an unnecessary
length of time. He had no objection to the time
Being made shorter still.
Mr. Fessenden (lie.) moved to amend by
making it ten days, and by inserting, after the
•word “vacanoles 1 the words “occasioned by
death or resignation.” The amendment was
agreed to, and after a discussion as to the effect
of the bill in repealing existing laws on the sub

'Die special order, the resolution, to admit
Philip i. Thomas, Senator-elect from Maryland,
was taken, and Mr. BnckaUnv, of Pennsylvania,
took the door. He deprecated the coarse the de
bate had taken, and claimed that injustice had
been done to the personal character of
Mr. IheuL-ag, of which he spoke.highly, eulo
gizing the modesty and gentlemanly feeling which
had prompted him in refraining from appearing
to urge his admission. 1 h
Mr. Buckalew defended Mr. Thomas at length
from the charges made against him, and claimed
that the debate should have been confined to the
report of the Committee; that nothing had ap
peared to authorize the allusion, unless found in
fact that Mr. Thomas had given his son #lOO
when about to join the rebel army.
.N r. Sherman of Ohio, agreed that they had no
nvn’ to exclude Mr. Thomas from political reasons
hat every legislative body had power to exclude per-
BOES who would bring reproach upon it—« power the
British House of Commons had often exercised. He
renin contended that the act of Mr. Thomas at the
outbreak of the war aided the rebellion.
Mr. Howaitn took issue with the statement of Mr.
Trumbull yesterday, that no war existed when Mr.
rnomasxesigncdin Janntay, 1861.
Mr. Horton, t>r Indiana, followed, and he likewise
mmbated the several arguments of Mr. Trumbull, and
trgued that Mr. Thomas oonld not take the oath
nmhfully, having given both aid and countenance to
he rebellion. He asked what greater encouragement
>r countenance conld be given to the rebellion than
caving the government In the hour of Itu peril *
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, followed In opposition,
rguing that if It had been proposed bytho South to
onftscate Sir. Thomas’ property daring the war he
oald have advanced good reasons against it In bis
'<lio!i-conduct.
Mr. Fowled, of Tennessee, defended the course of
is colleague- in the other House (Colonel Stokes),
evera! times held up as a justification of the admls
!on of Mr. Thomas, and gave his reasons for voting
a the negative.
Mr. Drake, of Missouri, instanced, as a later prcco
ent than that of the Stokes case, cited by Mr. Trum
nll yesterday, the case of John Young Brown, whom
tie House yesterday decliued to admit for disioval
ordi spoken at the outbreak of the war-
Mr. Tipton, of Nebraska, reiterated the considera
ons which would Influence him in voting for the ad
ilssion ot Mr. Thomas, and announced his intention
1 dose the debate on Monday; and hoped the vote
mud not be further deferred.

SESSION.
Mr.-Farnsworth (III.) asked whether this was
not the *amo proposition as was before tire House
last year, and was then defeated.
Mr. Bromwell said that it was. ' -
Mr. Wasbbnrno (Mass. 1 ) suggested that the
patentee had had the beneflt of the invention for

Mr. Van Wyck remarked that the American

had made enormous dividends. • •

Mr. Vaknswobtu moved to lay the hju on the ta
ble.- Negatived— yeas 38, ndyß 89.
. Mr. Bbomweel, of Illinois, closed tho discussion
by an argument in support of the bill.
_Mr. Bltleh stated that his information was that
Harvey had entered into a bond of 810,000 with a
Massachusetts mtti to assign the 1 patent to him; bat
he subsequently sold it to the Providence Company
for «12S,OOO.paylngihe 810,000 forfeit That explained
why Mnesafchnsette was not in favor of paving any
more money by way of royally to Rhode Island!^
Mr. Jenckib, of Bhode - Island, denied that the
Pro vidence Company had obtained the patent lor any
anch consideration.'
Mr. Butler said ’ho had his information from a
member of theHoqse, Mr. Washburn, of Massachu
setts, who had himself made the bargain, and re
ceived the $lO,OOO forfeit from Harvey.
Mr. Btevehs, of Pennsylvania,: remarked that while
he was a member of the Committee of ways and
Means that committee investigated this matter for
three years, and ascertained that the invention of
screws had been mimopoUzecl by the Providence com.
panv, and that an English company, which had been
established in the United- States for the manufacture
of wood screw*, had been bought up bv the Providence
company.
Mr. WAsnncns, of Massachusetts, opposed the
hill, arguing tbatitwas for the,-benefit of one of pie
greatest monopolies In the'country, and without any
“tens ion of the patent it would take at least flvmjifclire
to allow other companies to compete with the Ameri
can Screw: Company, .
>Mr. Van Wyck, of NewTork, opposed the bill, and
related some facts published in the New York Ere
nh.rj I‘ott, showtDg that the American Screw Com
pany starling with an original cspltal of $57,000, had
now a capital of 31,000,000. after making dividends
estimated at $10,000,000. He asked whether the tn
dmuy and labor of tho country should be any longer
taxed to glut such a rich corporation.
Mi. Bi’.o.twbli. said that he knew that it was on
just such statements that the bill of last Congress
was defeated; but although notice was given to all the
manufacturers of wood screws In the country, no op
position was made before the Commissioner of Patents
re this hill.
Mr. Butler said that be found from further inquiry
that the. only mistake in bis statement was the
assertion that Harvey had paid the forfeit of $lO,OOO.
Be hud not Cone so.. After some farther discussion
the House proceeded to vote on the bill, and it was
defeated--yeassB, nays 70,
The following is the vote i n detail on the hill to ex

_ _ MILITARY DISTRICTS.
The Speaker presented a communication from the
secretary of War In ansn-et to aresolnion offered by
Mr. Brooke, with copies of all orders by the com
manders of the five military districts of the booth for
the execution of the reconstruction acts. Referred to
the Committee on Reconstruction,
Also, the resolutions of the Virginia Constitutional
Convention relative to the tax on tobacco. Referred
to the Committee of Ways and Means.
Mr. Bi-tleb. of Massachusetts, from the Commit-
tee on Appropriations, reported YbTl! for the relief ot

$50,000 to remove the Indians. Paesed.
KENTrCKY ELECTION CASE.
The House proceeded at three o'r.locu to the eonsid
i ration ot the two remaining resolutions in the elec
tion case from the Second Congressional District of
Kentucky, declaring that Baiuuel £. Smith, the con
testant for Brown's seat, did not receive a majority
of votes, mad directing the Speaker to notify the Gov
ernor of Kentucky that a vacancy for Congress exists
in that district % '
Mr. DAwes, of Massachusetts, addressed the House
in support of the resolution. He said that this ivas
the first case in either House of Congress where the
claim was set up ns in this case, that a man who
received a minority of votes was entitled to the seat,
because the man receiving the majority of votes was
ineligible.,, i- -.nt'.
; In thla case Mr. Bros™, to whom the House re
fused the eeat yesterday, received 8,692 votes, and
the contestant, Samuel E. Smith, 2,816 votes, and
the House was asked to declare that even-one of the.
8,692 voters knew whht the House had only decided
-yestcrdajvthat John Y. Brown was ineligible to hold
a eoat, arid therefore they had wilfullv thrown away
thtir votes, and Smith was entitled to tie seat If any
question had been definitely by the voters of
the Second District of Kentucky, it was that they did
not want to be represented in Congress by Mr. Smith
Mr. Dawes presented the views in writing'of an
absent member of the Committee on Elections, ( Mr.
Shellabaiger,) which tjrcro read to the House. They
coincide with those expressed by Mr. Dawes,
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, suggested the 'case of Mr.
Brown being sent back by his constituents. -
Mr. Dawes said—Suppose they do. If there be no
other wayiof keeping him ont ; of the HbustpJlet Cod,'
tress paaa« lawideflning tie powersbfthe ballot, and
let the elector know just how hiß ballot will be
counted. "Under thedaltlamendmont of the Constitu
tion Congress has a right to pass such a law.
Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, moved that the matter be
postponed till Monday week.
Mr. Dawes resisted the motion, End it.was rejected

him to speak f such a late hour, moved that the
House adjourn.
The motion was and the House, at a
