XLtft SESSION
CLOSE or batdbday’s proceedings,
Senate.
NATIONAL. DEBT
The bill to fnnd the national debt and tho conver
sion of the notes of the United States was taken up
at tbe expiration of the morning hour.
The question was on the amendment roported by
• Mr, Sherman, from the Finance CJorainittce, provid
ing for the issue of twenty, thirty, and forty year
qonds, bearing interest five, four aud
a half, and four per cent, per annum; to be exempt
from taxation in afcy form; said bonds to be ex
clusively used for redemption or purchase of an equal
amount of any of the present Interest-bearing debt of
the United States, other than existing five per cent,
bonds and three per cent, certificates, and to be ißsaed
/to 'any amonnt sufficient to cover tho principal of all
outstanding obligations, with the exceptions above
t named.,
The amendment provides for the annual approprla-
J Lion out of customs receipts of $l86,00o,IKK), to be ap
plied to the payment of interest, and reduction of
principal in lieu of present sinking fnnd. It makes
the new bonds and any lawful money of the United
States exchangeable for each other at tbe Treasury,
unless the amount of outstanding United States notes
shall be equal to $400,000*000, or unless Bpecle pay
ment sbail have been resumed. Finally, it legalizes
contracts made specifically payable in coin.
Mr. Sherman said he did not intend to discuss the
general subject of funding the public debt. He had
fully stated hiß opinions in the early part of the ses
sion, and all tbe debate since then had strengthened
his convictions then esftresedd. Recent oventa made
it imperative now that Congress should take measures
to iiphten the bureau of the public debt. The Repub
lican Convention /had promised it by reducing the in
terest as rapidly as possible, and a majority of tbe
House of Representatives ana the Democratic Conven
tion “bad ilncaU'iied to do It by taxation.
The oerty proper and legal way to do it was by ex-
bonds at a lower rate of interest for those
bearing a higher rate. This could be done, and must
frefdone, and no pretext would excaso the party in
power for delaying action or evading responsibility.
** *.ll distinctions between the noteholder ana the bond-
xfider and the private debtor and creditor are anti-re
publican, and should be done away with as Boon as
/possible, cither by the resumption of specie payments
'or by the payment ot the maturing bonds In lawful
money. This bill deals with this question to this
extent only, that bondholders and noteholders alike
may receive in payment of their debts a five per cent.
£6lO -bojui, and all private persons may contract to pay
or receive either gold or paper money, and their con
tract shall he enforced.
The provisions of the bill are simple and eaeily un
derstood. It contains four independent propositions.
They may be separated, but ought not to be. The
first contains an authority to sell o five per cent, bond
in the redemption of u six per eent bond. The second
makes a distinct provision which, if left undisturbed,
will pay off the entire debt in thirty-five years. The
tWru gives to the noteholder the precise privilege
that is given by the first section to the bondholder;
and the fourth authorizes contracts in gold. If these
propositions are to be discussed, 1 prefer to do it as
questions arise in the debate, and content myself now
with expressing the earnest hope that Congress will
do something to make good every promise to the
people in the Chicago platform, to reduce the interest
of so much of the public debt as is now subject to re
demption .
Mr. buMNUßthen took the floor, and commenced
by saying that, after the tempest that has recently
swept over us, it was well to endeavor to comprehend
the actual condition of affairs, aed what has brought
it about. It was impossible to separate tbo financial
question from the political question —our present re
sponsibilities, in both respects, having sprue;: from
the rebellion—together constituting a fearful erin total
of disorders.
When the nation was again in health, inconvertible
paper would be as impas9oaie us a b’ll jof sale of a ha
jnun being. For the sake of the national finances, the
freedmen should be secured and maintained in equal
rights, as danger was to Be apprehended from pardon
ing rebels and their Democratic allies. He dilated at
length on the Importance ot preserving the public
' faith; which he styled a treasury, a tariff and an in
ternoi revenue all in one, as with that, .even If they
were lost, it would be but for a day.
- Mr. Sumner then urged economy, simplification or
taxation by applying it to fewer objects, and the dim
inution, as tar as possible, of the public debt, aa the
only present means of lightening the public burdens, 1
' ana w ent on to cite the probable Increase of popula
tion and material resources of it 3 country in the fu
tnie, to which be thought we may tranquilly leave the
final settlement of the national debt. He anew of no
reason why one of our bonds would bring 20 per cent,
lees than an Knglish bond while it pays 100 per cent,
more interest, except England had superior credit,
‘ from which he educed the lesson of public faith. Pro
ceeding to consider tbe bill before ♦.he Senate, he ar-
Sicdthat only confidence in the public faith would
duce the bondholders to make the proposed change
of bonds; any menace of compulsion would defeat the
transaction—it would bo repudiation under an alias.
The bill, however, was tree fiom any such imputation,
lie was assured by men who ought to know that these
bonds would be rapidly taken fipr the live-twenties.
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
A t the conclusion of Mr. Snmner’e remarks, °t S.lf
o'clock.
Mr. Tri mkull moved to go into Executive Bcrshra,
stying probably no vote could be reached on this bill
to-day.
Before the motion was put.
Mr. Conkling Introduced a bill in relation to the ap
proval of wills in the Dietr.ct of Columbia. Referred
to the Committee on the District of Columbia.
The motion prevailed, and the Senate went into
Executive cession accordingly.

At 5:20 the doors were again opened, and the House
amendments to Mr. Edmunds’joint resolution in re
srard to votCB In the Electoral College was before the
Senate, on a motion to concur.
Mr. TBUWuifLL opposed It. contending that it in
volved the very propositlo • that caused oiiiereuce of
oppinion in the Senate.
Mr. Edmunds contended that it was a mere question
of form.
The amendment was concurreu in—yeas 19, nays
14— and tbe bill goes to the F esider i.

eral, with the runk of Major. Agreed to. .
Mr Boutwell, from the Committee on Recon
struction, reported back, witb amendment*, the Ben
ate joint resolution excluding from the Electoral
College the votes of States lately In rebellion, and
asked thnt It be considered now.
Mr. Phelts objected. ' ,
Mr. Boutwell moved to lay aside the army bill
temporarily. Agreed to.
ELECTORAL COLLEGE,
“ The Electoral College bill, with amendments, was
then read.
The amendments reported were read as follows:
To strfke out tho words “and which States are now
represented In Congress,” and insert the following:
“Provided that nothingberein contained shall bo con
strued to apply to any state which was represented in
Congress on tne 4thof March, 1865.” That tho Joint
resolution will read:,
Rtsolvedy That none of the States whose Inhab
itants were lately In rebellion shall be entitled to rep -
resentation in the Electoral College for the choice of-
Preeldent and‘Vice-President of the United States,
nor shall any electoral votes bo received or counted
from any ot such Btatcs unless, at the time prescribed
by taw tor tho choice of electors, the people of such
States* pursuant to the acta of Congress in that behalf,
shall have, since the 4th day of March, 1867, adopted a
constitution for 1 State government, under which a
State government shall have been organized and snail
bo In operation, nor ' Unless snch election of electors
Bholl have been held under the anthorlty of such con
stitution and government, and such State shall have
also become entitled to representation in Congress
pursuant to the acts of Congress In that behalf: Pro
vided, That nothing herein contained shall be coo-
Btitffo to apply to any Sttfo that was represented In
Congress on the 4th of March, 1867.
Mr. Boutwell rehmrked tnat ho did not deem it
necessary to discuss tbe measure* as tbe object of it
was well known to all the members.
Mr. Eldiudgb asked Mr. Boutwell to state under
what part ot the Constitution he found authority for
the measure.
Mr. Boutwell said ho could not go at length into
all the circumstances by which the Southern States,
through the infiuenco of tho gentleman’s political
Inendß, bad loßt their representation in Congress,
but the purpo&§sT tho country unmistakably was to
hold those Stales in the grasp of tbe loyal people of
the country until they were reconstructed under loyal
iiilluences, witb loyal majorities, loyal State govern
ments," loyal representatives, and Senators in Congress.
When all these tblngß took place, then, and not
beloie. those States should participate In the Presi
dential election.
Mr. Bldridoe said that the gentleman had not
answered or intended to answer his question. As to
tho statement that the Democratic party was respon
sible for the loss ot representatives by the Southern
States, the gentleman from Massachusetts peed nut
tell the House any such thing, for he knew and had
known that that was not so. (Laughter.] The war
against the rebellion was a success, and the Southern
btates were saved to the Union.
Mr. Boutwell said that under the lead of loyal men
in the South eight Southern States had been substan
tially restored to the Union against tbe protests of
iorty-flve Democratic members. The gentleman and
his associates raise the banner of war for the expul
sion of eight States which have been already restored.
That is the issue on which we go tothe coantry.
Mr. Eldiudgb denied that the Democratic party
took any such position, and declared that the Repub
lican party was responsible for the war. The South
ern people were crushed and broken down and trod
dtn into the earth by, be had almost said, the atro
cious acts of this Congress. Tho only reason why
those States were held in tho grasp of power was the
bar that if left free they would act with the Demo
cr n cic party. The gentleman from Massachusetts dare
cot before God deny that that waß the Bole purpose
for which this scheme was inaugurated.
Mr. Boutwell repeated the charge that the Demo
cratic party was responsible for the rebellion, and re
ft rred to the letter of Franklin Pierce and the speeches
of Democratic leaders about the period of secession,
lie sent to the Clerk's desk and had read the letter
of F. P. Blair to Colonel Brodhead.
Commenting on that letter, Mr. Boutwell said that
its writer proposed that the President of the United
States should take the army* drive out of the House
m d Senate* members entitled to their Beats; then
disperse the Legislatures of tbo Southern States; eet
up new Legislatures and send new sets of Senators
and Representatives to Congress. That was tho dis
tinct declaration ot Frank P. Blair.
Mr. Munoen— I would like to ask the gentleman
from Massachusetts where be was when Frank P.
Blair was fighting the battles of the country to keep
those States in )
Mr Boltwell— was in the service of my coun
try; but one thing I never did—never proteßßed to
rerve under a commission as general in the army and
tuke pay for that sendee, and serve In tho House, ps
member of Congress, exercising civil functions and
military authority at the Bame time, in violation of
the Constitution and of the entire theory of tho
government
The discussion was continued in the spirit and
temper of the portion of it here reported, and was
participated in by Messrs. Brooks, Dawes, Beck, Ste
vens of Pennsylvania, Marshall and Schenck.
Air. Brooks said that if the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts txpected the Democracy to sit down in
quiet and contentment under the reconstruction acts,
be was indulging in the vanity of all dreams. The
Dtmocracy would exert its power and influence for
the repeal of those acts, and for their overthrow, in
i\ery possible constitutional manner. They would
co before tbe people with pride and pleasure on the
issue whether the States of the South were to bo gov
erned by negroes almost exclusively, or whether they
w ere to be governed as the States of Ohio, New York,
and Pennsylvania were governed; whether they were
w be governed by white men or by negroes: that was
the issue, and on that they would proudly appeal from
Congress to tho people.
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, reminded Air.
Brooks of the similar joint resolution passed by Con
greve without a dissenting voice, before the last Pres-
idential election.
Mr. Brooks suggested that there was a great differ
ence between the Btato of the country at that time
and at this.
Mr. Stevens —Not a bit—not a bit
Air. Brooks -Are we in rebellion now?
Air. Stevens— You are in rebellion (loud and con-
tinued langhter),and Frank Blair declares so. He de
clares that tbe only way for the Democratic party is to
riect a President who shall make ÜBe of theaimy to
undo all that we have done In reiorming the South,
turn bait the voters out of their palaces, re-establish
tbe oid institutions of slavery, and re-establish tho
* white man’s government. ’’ Is that not rebellion?
Mr. BROoKs--The Democratic party is always in re
bellion against tyranny ond tyrants. [Derisive
laughter on the Republican side of th 3 Chamber.]
Ala. Stevens (ironlcally)--So It is, aud with them
anything but a white man’s Democratic government
is tyranny; and they are always in rebellion against
everything but a Democrrtic majority and a Demo
cratic slave rule
Mr. BitooKS—Under what article of the Constitution
do you derive the authority to pass this law?
Mr. bTEVEHS—I derive it from the authority of Con
gress to open and count and deciara the electoral vote.
Of course Congress is to provide the means by which
that shall be done. 1
Mr. Beck declared that the object of including in
the joint resolution Florida, Arkansas, and North
Carolina, which were now represented in Congress,
was to give the majority the power of the Southern
electoral votes of those States if they should be
Democratic. !
Air. Alarsuall declared that any charge of the
Democratic party having taken part In secession and
rebellion was unsustained by facts, and which every
intelligent person knew to be so, and he mentioned a
remark made by Mr. Lincoln, that of his own
party were very good at representations and long
pi ayere, but that it it had not been for the gentlemen
valor of the Democracy of the North, tho Union
would have gone downnnder rebellion.
Mr Bout well read gome extracts from an article
in tho World , giving a sketchy description of the
delegates to the Convention, of their record of service
to the nation, picking out the paragraph relating to
sorvic 3 in the Confederate army of John A. Winston,
ui Alabama, James H. Clanton, and Wade Hatflp
to“i 1 Wabhrubne, of Illinois, thought the picture
was incomplete without the description of N. B. For r
rest, of Tennessee, and he had that read. f
Mr. Brooks suggested to have read the record of
Governor Golden, of North Carolina.
Mr. Alullins wound up the description of Forrest
by remarkingthat he was the hero Of the bloody mas-
B&cteof loyei manat Fort Pillow. . . ..!
Mr. Marbiloll remarked that he appealed to the
honest people of the country, aud wished them to
notice how Democrats were attacked in the House day
after day’without an opportunity of meeting the at
tack, but they would be heard at the forom of the
pe< pie, and would there fasten upon the Republican
party the atrocious record, and leave it to the verdict
of an indignant people.
Air. Schenck accepted the appeal to the people and
I to the polls, and declared that the Republicans would
| be there to meet and repel charges and make light of
aH threats. Ho commented with much severity on
Mr. Blair's letter.
Finally the discussion was closad by the previous
question, the Republicans having voted by 83 votes to
second tbe previous question.
Mr. Eldriloe said he wanted the other side
counted in order te know how many Democrate were
out of their places. To which Mr. Stevens re
marked, “Every one that is here is out ofh Is place.”
[ [Laughter.]

The Registry Raw—No Extra Session.
HAiuUkpuito, July 11.—Governor Geary haa written
the following letter in relation to a call for an. extra
bcsblod of the Legislature for the consideration of a
new registry law:

created Seo'of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and’ the Rev.
J. F. Shanahan, D. D., of the new See of Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, yesterday morning at the. Cathedral,
Eighteenth street, near Vine." ‘ The Bacred edifice was
tilled to Its utmost capacity on the occasion, and the
ceremonies were ofa very grand and imposing charac
ter. ■. ,
Right Rev. Bishop Wood had the Chief management
of tho ’detailb of the affair/ and It was man
aged throughout in a manner .to leave
nothing to be desired. At abont 10 o'clock the bish
ops, priests and ecclesiastical students, Who took part
In the ceremonials, formed Into line in front of the
cbsptl, adjoining the Cathedral, on Summer street, to
the number of.npwards of three hundred/and crossing
Eighteenth street passed into Logan Square, and
afttrwardß Into tho Cathedral throngh the main door.
The procession, with its mitred bishops, the eurpllced
' clergy and the Btndcnts. presented an imposing ap
pearance. As it entered tho church, the Germania
Oicheslra performed Hoffman's Processional March,
very effectively, and the solemn strains of the
mnßic added much to the Interest and eclat of the
display.
Atter the clergy hnd’taken their position within tho
Sarctunry. the Kight Rev. Bishop Wood, arrayed in
his Episcopal robes, ascended the altar, when the
Bishops that were to be consecrated were brought be
fore him by the following named Bishops, who had
been specially Invited to take part In the ceremonies
ol tbe day ;
Right Rev. Bishop " McGill, Right Rev. Bishop
Whelan, and Right Rev. Bishop Dominic.
Right Rev. Bishop Wood, as the Consecrntor was
saluted by the Bishops elect, when tho Right Rev.
Bishop McGill, as the Benior of the assistant, Bishops,
addressed the Consecrator, as follows: |
Right Rev. Father, oar Holy Mother, the Catholic
Church, requires of you to raise these priests here
present to the burthensome office of a Bishop. Bishop
Wood.—Have you the Apostolic commission? Bishop
McGill, replied: We have.
The commission was then ordered to bo read, and
waß delivered by the- Rev. F. F. Bopkine, of the
Cherch ol St. Philip do Nerf, in a maimer to show to
great advantage the reverend gentleman's fine oioou
ilonary powers. In the celebration of the Mass, Very
Rev. c. J. H. Carter, the Rev. P. F. Sheridan, Rev.
Fierce Mahon, Rev. P. O’Reilly, Rev. John Fitzmau
rice, Rev A. .1. McConomy, Rev. F. P. O’Neill, and
Itev. Thomas F. Muffin assisted. The Rev. A. J.

At abont ll o’clock Mass commenced, the
Bishops elect occupying positions on the left of the
Consecrator. After the Conflteor\ of tlie Mass had
been said, tho Consecrator continued the Mass till
the portion called the Sequence had been reached,
when he resnmed his seat before the altar. Tho
Bishops elect, In the meantime, retired from the
sanctnary to tho adjoining chapel, with the assistant,
Bishops, where they divested themselves of their capes,
and opening the stole pnt on the pectoral crosß. They
were then robed with the tunic, dalmatic, chasnblo
and sandals, when the concluding services of tho con
secration were proceeded with In the order prescribed
In the Ritual. These were all highly emblematic
and significant in character, and added increased In
terest io the solemnity of tho affair. The Rev. Michael
O'Connor, S. J., delivered the sermon on tho occasion.
It was able and eloquent throughout, and treated
mainly of the duties pertaining to tno Episcopal office.
Atter the Rev. speaker had concluded, the Mass waß
continued to Its termination, and tbe newly-conse
crated Bishops were invested-with all their Insignia of
office, and went through the Cathedral imparting their
benediction to the multitude present.
The ecclesiastical services were all of the grandest
and most imposing character, hat tho paucity of num
bers In the vocal force of the choir made the Bing
ing weak and Ineffective. It had been an
nounced that forty or fifty vocalists would
be present, but from some cause or other the number
ol singers did not exceed a dozen, all told. Tbe mu
sic Bung was Hummel’s Grand Masß, No. 2; the Vent
Sancte Spiritus of the Abbe Yolger; the Dale Soni
tum of C'OBta, nnd Haydn’s Te Deum. With a suf
ficient force, the mmfic would have been a splendid
feature of the occasion.
Nearly all the clergy attached to the Catholic
churches of the city and the adjoining towns were
present at the consecration, and made altogether a
number sufficient to fill the spacious sanctuary of the
Cathedral completely.
