XXXXVIIItk CONGRESS---Ist SESSION.
WASHINGTON, May 2, ISG-1.
SENATE.
Mr. GRIMES, of lowa, presented a petition from na
val officers, representing that formerly there were nine
ty-seven commanders, and sixty-live captains in the
navy, and that now, notwithstanding its vast increase,
the commanders haVe been reduced to twenty-seven in
number, and that in consequence the lieutenant com
manders have to serve as commanders, and command
ers as captains, without additional rank and pay. They
pray relief in the premises. Referred to the Committee
en Navy Officers.
The bill to grant pre-eruptions to certain lands In
California Chas called up, :and, after some remarks in its
favor by Mr. CONNESS, -was passed.
Mr•. MORRILL, of Maine, called up the Senate bill to
regulate the foreign and coasting trade on the North
eastern and Northwestern frontiers of the United States,
which was passed.
The bill to provide for the collection of internal reve
nue was received from the House and referred to the
Conimittee on Finance.
On motion of -Mr. FESSENDEN, a thousand copies of
the House internal revenue bill were ordered to be
printed for the use of the Senate,
Mr. WILSON, of Massachusetts, offered a resolution
to provide additional grounds for the cemetery at the
Soldiers' Home, in the Diktrict of Columbia. It directs
. the Secretary of War to add. to the Soldiers' Cometery
such portions of the ground adjacent as may be service
able for the purpose. Ho stated that six thousand
soldiers had been already interred in this cemetery,
principally - since the. war commenced, and addition
al ground was now•needed•that all the soldiers buried
vlchlity.should be interred la one ground, so as
to make their resting-place a spot of common interest.
The resolution was adopted.
sir. SUMIN-ER called up his resolution requeting the
President to communicate the opinion of the Attorney
General as to the rights of persons of African descent in
the regular and volunteer service, with accompanying
papers, which was adopted.
Mr. HALE offered a resolution that the Committee on
Military Affairs inquire into the present condition of the
Soldiers' Home, the administration of the fends of that
institution, and whether some other mode of relief by
pension or otherwise would not he for the public lute
rest, which was adopted.
_ .
Mr. WILSON introduced a bill to grant one million
acres of the public lands for the benefit of public schools
in the District of Columbia. The lands are to be taken
from any subject to private entry, and the proceeds are
to be forever devoted to the lanitruction of children be
tween the ages of five and seventeen 'years, without
distinction of color, and men of color, between the ages
of twenty and .sixty, in the cities of Washington and.
Georgetown and the county of Washingtomshall each an
nually pay a poll-tax of one dollar for the use and benefit
of the public schools, to be assessessed and collected by
the corporate authorities of these cities and the levy
court of said county.
Mr. HENDRICKS- called up the Senate joint resolu
tion to pay the State of Wisconsin 5 per cent. of the grant
of hinds made heretofore to her for literary purposes,
which was laid over at the expiration of the morning
hour.
The CHAIR presented a letter from the President in
answerio the Senate resolution calling .for Information
as to.the Territory of Nevada, enclosing a letter from
Governor J. W. Nye.
DOOLITTLh, of WiScodsin, from the Vi,mmittee
on Public Lands, reported back the bill for thV relief of
certain friendly Indians, with two amendments; and
moved that they he printed, which was so ordered,
The army appropriation bill was received from the
House with amendments, and, on motion of Mr. FES
SENDEN,reforred to the Committee on Finance, and or
dered to be printed:
The bill to provide a National currency was then pre
sented to the Senate by .tho Chair, as reported trout
the Committee of the Wholo.
of Kentucky, by unanimous consent, in
trcduced au amendment preventing- - associations cre
ated under the act from holding real-estate for a longer
,period than Ave years. Adopted.
Mr. DAVIS offered an amendment after the 31st section
to recd.;
" That everyassociation doing business under this act
six months after the rebellion shall be crushed and the
authority of the Government restored, be required to
redeem with gold and silver their notes in circulation,
at their several offices. "
Mr. DAVIS said he was no friend of the present mea
sure in any form; but as the bill was to become a law,
it should lie made as unobjectionable :as possible. He
thought his amendment of the most vital importance.
There never was a wholly commercial country on the
face of the earth that retained for a considerable
time an irredeemable paper currency. The universal
practiee, by the inexorable rule of the world, was
ofand silver. Congress should not change the kW
of the world. The sooner this present measure was
stamped as a temporory expedient, to pass away on the
restoration of peace and tranquility, and the laws of
money, that have regulated the world for eighteen cen
turies, should be resumed, the better for the Govern
ment.
Mr. JOHNSON, of Missouri, did not deny that this
whole measure was one of expediency. No one could
.indicate the day when the rebellion would be subdued.
As long as the war lasted we could not return to specie
Payments. The banks established under this bill could
not be expected, in six months after the suppression of
the rebellion, to redeem their enormous issue in specie
without great financial curtailment and embarrass
ment. We should jm very cautions in fixing a period
for the resumption of specie payments.
The :intendment was rejected.
Mr. FESSENDEN reported from the Finance Commit
tee the House bill apProPriatitig $2.5,000,000 for the pay
of volunteers called out for one hundred days, with a
recommendation that it be passed.
Mr. HALE opposed the measure as unwise; while he
Would keep the public faith with every man called out
by the. Government, he thought this resolution emi- •
uently unwise.
Mr. FESSENDEN said that whatever might be his in.
.divl,dual opinions of the wisdom of tile call, they had
been offered and accepted by the commander-in-chief,
and lie should vote to appropriate the amount required.
;Mr. HENDERSON said he would vote any amount of
money to pay troops called out for a longer period, but
be did not think the present bill of any account ; in fact,
`it was a perfect humbug. These_ men could not lie
drilled in the time forwluch they are called out,
Mr. GRIMES inquired bow long the men who fought
;at Wilson's creek had been drilled?
Mr. HENDERSON said that, so far as the ' Missouri
troops were concerned, they were mustered into the
. service in August, 1861, but they had been drilled for a
number of years previously. Fur himself he was op
posed to calling out a mob.
Mr. SHERMAN, of Ohio, said there could be no doubt
of the President's authority, under the existing law, to •
call out these troops, and whatever might be our opinion
as to the wisdom of the call, we should vote tho appro
priation.
Mr. CARLISLE, of Virginia, did not think it was en
tirely respectful on the part of the President to have
slighted Congress not having indicated his intention
to call out these troopsi for one hundred days. This pro
posed action plaCes the Treasury of the United States
directly under the control of the President, and we sit
here merely to vote mousy , to carry out, and not to de
termine upon measures. The sum proposed would not
itself cover the cost. Resides this, the men were to be
taken at a time when labor was of more value to the
country than any service they would render in the field
in.their short term of service.
Mr. WILSON, of Massachusetts, had expressed to the
Secretary of War his opinion that this offer of the West
ern Governors ought not to be accepted. The Presi
dent, however, with the sanction of law, having the
power, and listing exercised it, he should vote for it,
He was iu aver of calling out the troops for a longer
period.
Mr. HENDERSON inquired if the President had given
a written or mere verbal acceptance to' the offer of the
Western Governors.
Mr. WILSON understood it to have been an Official
acceptance by the President, advised by and approved
of by Lieutenant General Grant, and the draft of the
bill before us was enclosed in a letter to the chairman
of the Military Committee,,of both Houses. The mode
of this call was proper enough, though many of us
doubt the wisdom of it. He voted for the measure, and
Put the responsibility where it properly belongs—on the
PreSident.
Mr. CLARK said the great point was whether this
call, having the approval of the Executive, after con
sultation with the commander of the army, should not
now be Sanctioned by. the Senate. For one he was not
willing to say no, When this great campaign- was
about to commence, and when we needed men,and the
Governors of States offered them, he Wanted to know
what Senator would refuse them, or prevent their rally
ing to our standard. He for one would not be willing
to take the responsibility.
Mr. FESSENDEN did not think we should raise
trivial objections in the present emergency , . We cer
tainly had the power to make the appropriation, what
ever might, or might not, be the wisdom of the object
which it was designed to forward. He was not a mili
tary man, and yielded his judgment to those who were,
or were presumed to be such.
Mr. JOHNSON opposed the measure. He would in
quire why the Governors of other States had not been
consulted? Was the opinion of able general officers in
the service asked, before the acceptance of this offer?
If we have heretofore passed laws conferring the power
on the President to accept these troops, then,
in good
faith, we were bound to support him. He took the
view that we were under no such obligation, and felt
hound to vote against the bill.
Mr. WINDOM called attention to the law of-1601,
which clearly gave authority to the President to call for
the militia in particular emergencies.
Mr. CONNESS frequently gave votes in favor of mea
sures when he had doubts as to their propriety and
wisdoim because in our present troubles he felt it his
. duty to do so.- The measure before its did not receive
the concurrence of his judgment, and he should vote
against it. This measure proposed that a hundred
thousand men should be mustered in for one hundred
days, at an expense of 4;25,000,000, to be doubled and
Quadrupled. The first knowledge lie had of this mea
sure came to him from the public Press. It Was said
these Governors would call upon the President with
their offer, and the next announcement was that the
President had accepted it. Who authorized these Go
vernors to regulate the method of carrying ou the war ?
Was not this the function of the President and his
Cabinet ? If the President wanted additional men, why,
in God's name,did not he call for them to the extent of
five hundred iousand for two or three years, or for the
war, and thus inspire the nation instead of trifling with
it, and mortifying its temper. He said this as a friend.
than whom no truer could be found, to the Admiuis
tratiOni
Mr. LANE, of Indiana.,defended the acceptance-of.
the troops offered by the Western Governors, and their
proclamations calling them out expressly state that their
action bad the endorsement of the President. For him.,
self, he was as willing as any one to advocate a strin
gent conscription law.
Mr. CONNESS offered nu amendment giving the Prinp.
dent power to continue the services Of these troops for
six months from the date of their muster, which was
rejected — yeas 11, nays 21
Mr. HENDERSON offered an amendment providing
that no part of said appropriation shall be paid to troops
mustered -in after May 15, 1561, unless they shall be.
mustered for a period of six months, which Was rejected

The House took up and referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs the resolution of Dlr. BLAME, of
Maine, calling ou the Secretary of the Treasury-to state
the amount of debt incurred by the several States to aid
in suppressing the rebellion,.and declaring, as the judgt
ment of the House, that all debts legitimately contracted

The "Union—The War,
The House took up Mr. HARDING'S resolution, of,

Blair to a command. Time message was referred to the
Committee on Elections, and ordered to be printed.
The • House passed the bill appropriating. over a mil

Mr. WINDOM, of Minnesota, who. had reported the

of the Indians. It was passed, .and provides that it
shall be lawful for the President to remove any tribe or
tribes to any of the public reservations, as he may deem
necessary and proper, and take measures for stimulating
them to habits of industry.
The House went into irommittee of the Whole, Mr.

EVENING sr.sswg.
To Guarantee Republiema Governments
The bill to guarantee republican governments to the
States subverted or overthrown by the rebellion being
under consideration,
Mr. LONGIEAR, of Michigan, argued that a State La
the people united into one body or community, for the
purpose of government. Sovereignty is an attribute of
‘,
gor =meta. Primarily, sovereignty is iu the people.
Sta t are erected through the forms of government.
The . iforms become living bodies,by virtue of the sove
reig, 7 imparted to them by the people, The United
Statb, Government is the supreme State to which all the
people owe primary allegiance. When a State of the
Union becomes subversive of the ends for which it was
created, or seeks, by virtue of the sovereignty with
which it has been invested, to bring the peep le in con
flict with the superior sovereignty to which they owe
primary allegiance, or when such State Government
becomes abrogated Ct , destroyed by any means, the
sovereignty with wid,' ,, ,, it was invested returns to the
people, to be exercised by them (IC Won° and such State
ceases to exist as a State of the Union. 'This contest is
war, and all the rules of war attach, among which is
the right of the conqueror to dictate to the commend
the form of government they shall adopt.
The States, in their corporate capacity, may be t rea t e d
as foreign enemies; but the people, in respect to their
allegiance to the National Government, must be consi
dered and treated as domestic enemies..
. .
Mr. DONN - ELIA - , of Minnesota, said that the great
question involved in the Solution of the question of re
ti..isstruction, was the safety of the nation, and that
n'ything must he made to give way to this; that the
e of the war would simply restore ns to the condi
tion of affairs out of whicli the war arose, and that we
must change that condition by the extrication of slave
ry, or we would have a 'series of wars and rebellions.
The President's amnesty proclamation did not go far
enough, and it was the dutrof Congress to supply that
deficiency. ..The. safety of the country could not be per
mitted to rest solely on the oaths of allegiance, that the
conscience of the rebels jastified them in committing
perjury against the nation. It was the ditty of the
.North to regenerate the South, and compel freedom of
speech, freedom of press, and universal education every
where. These measures were required by our own
safety, and we could not permit the Southern people to
return to the social condition which prevailed in the
South before the war.
. .
He further showed the importance of the Union to the
West, and argued that the West would continue to in
sist upon the unity of the nation, in spite of all disasters
and disheartnients, and that it was the right and the
necessity of the West to reach the sea in every,direction,
over kindred territory
Mr. DENNISON, of Pennsylvania, was opposed to the
hill under consideration. It was proposed at a time
when we have not the power, even if we had the right,
to reorganize a single State. The States had been treated
at'll they bad no reserved rights, All State Constitu
tions had been trampled upon, and placed at the mercy
of the war power. A solemn act had been passed to pro
tect military agents against any crime they may think
proper to commit. The last vestige of State rights, and
the protection of citizens, together with all other pow
ers, are sought to be centralized in the General Govern
ment. This he was not prepared to sanction by his
vote. The bill was intended to legalize and perpetuate
the unconstitutional proclamations of the President. It
had been said that slavery must be eradicated, in order
to preserve permanent peace, but this was the cry of
unrelenting and cruel fanaticism. It was an effort on
the part of the strong to justify theirattack on the weak.
The only reconstruction there ever can be t is to spread
the kindly influences of the old Constitution over all
the land. He did not justify secession, which was
brought about by foolish men, who deserve punishment,
and who preferred their own wicked projects to the wel
fare of the country. He believed there were good men
enough North and South to overwhelm both the Aboli
tionists and Secessionists, and once more restore the I
glorious old Union. The existing usurpation of a
monstrous military power should be removed. There
does not exist a more despotic government 'than this on
earth, and Abraham Lincoln is not merely a despot in
name, but in fact.
Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, repeated the points
heretofore made by him, namely, that ''the rebels were
efititled to no rights under the Constitution and the
laws, and could invoke the aid of neither in their be
half; that they were to be treated during i the war as •
belligerents, according to the laws of war and nature;
that they could claim no other rights than those of fo
reign nations with whom we are at war, and am sub
jected to all the liabilities of foreign belligerents; that
their real and personal property may be taken to pay
the expenses of the war and to relieve the wounded
soldiers and the families of the fallen. While the in
nocent should be spared, the morally and politically
guilty should be punished. He proceeded to reply to
the attacks which had been made upon these positions,
arguing that from the crimes of the belligerents we are
justified in exacting the extreMe demands of war. The
people are the absolute sovereigns, apd there is no other
government independent of these sovereigns. When
they make an unjust war, all their property, both pub.
lie and private, is subject to forfeiture. The Contede
rate States are a republic, however bad may be the
sovereigns, and speak for the entire people. This
view he illustrated, and said to allow them to
return with their property untouched would be rank in
justice to the men. If, as has been contended,
they are in the Union, where are their representatives
We are making war upon them for going out of the
Union without law, and they should never again be re
ceivedt into it until they repent and are rebaptized into
the national Union.
In the ceurse of his remarks he alluded to the recent
speech of Mr. Blair, of Missouri, and to that gentleman
at stealing the mantle of the President and stabbing the'
friends of the President in the latter's trains. If he (Mr.
Stevens) could live to see the land no more trod by the
foot of a slave lie would be content with any lot.
Mr. STROUSE, of Pennsylvania, said that free and
voluntary enlistments exist no, more;for the reason that
the war has been diverted from its original purposes,
declared by a solemn vote of the House, namely, " that
this war was not waged for purposes of conquest or
subjugation, but to define the supremacy of the Govern
mentovith the equality of the States unimpaired, and
that when obedience to the Constitution and the laws
should be secured the war ought to cease. '• Bat in
stead. of this we. have confiscation, abolition, the des
truction or State laws, violation of theConsticntion,and
national debt—the centemplation of which ie frightful.
Notwithstanding all this, they were told by the stipen
diary Swiss guards of the Administration that all is
well, and there was plenty of money. All hopes of
peace were dispelled so long as the Administration shall
adhere to its presentpolicy. We 'cannot subdue eight
millions of people and hott/ them to subjugation. In
order to be succpssful, the Administration nmst retrace
its steps, and President ',Merlin divest himself of the
fallacy that he is the Government. The Demo
cratic party is the only organization for re
sforitt„,4, the seceded States to . their former Btattc.s•
in order to secure a more perfect union. The
Democrats were opposed to the. shedding of blood
in the effort to raise the negro to the equality of the
white man,.and gratify the Abolitionists of New Eng
land and their brother fanatics of old England. While
he hatedsecession lie could not shut his eyes to the
fact that the constant' agitation of slavery in the
North is the primary cause of the war, and secession
the consequence.
He repeated that the war is the result "of Abe
liti onism,.and its objectis the extinction of slavery and
the extermination of the whites, with the uegroes for
vassals to the brood of vandals and Goths, created under
the confiscation act. Unless we accompany the sword
with the olive branch we will never have the Union.
Mr. CRAVEN,. of Indiana, briefly . stated his views.
The Democratic party, whose principles he endorsed,
had inscribeffupon its banners ' The. Constitution, and
th e twon. When passion and prejudice shall have
run their course,, and not.until then will we realize in
their vast extent the blunders which have been COnl
pitted. This cruel war would have been ended before
now if the abundant means furnished had heen honestly
and wisely applied, and if the Administration had
rigidly adhered to the policy avowed - at the beginning
of the struggle. Fanaticism rules, and we must drink
th e bitter cup. By changing our policy the Administra
tion has divided the North and united the South. He
• arraigned the Republican party, whom. he character
ized as Abolition fanatics, and for breach of promise
and faith; and, among oilier things
.charged• that Me
efellan was removed from command because he was
conservative., and against the radical negro policy. De
feats, instead of victories,. had reaultethbecause of folly

IMAITTISITh Woxims.—The Baroness do Soo'
confessed that she would exchange half of her
knowledge for personal charms, and consider them
cheaply bought at that price. All women know
that it is beauty rather than genius which all gene 6
rations of men have worshipped in the sex. Can It
he wondered at, then, that so much of woman's
time and attention should be directed to the moans
of developing and preserving that beautyl Women
know; too, that when men speak of the intellect of
woman, they speak critically, tamely, coolly ; . but
when they come to speak of the charms of a beauti
ful woman, both theiflangnago and their eyes kin
dle with the glow of an enthusiasm which shows
them to be profoundly, ir not r indeca, ridiculously in
earnest. It is a p or thanatural sagacity of wo
men to . perceive all this; and they therefore
employ every allowable' art to become the
uOddess of that adoration. Preach to the &in
tr.:l IT as we may, against the arts em
ployed by a woman for enhancing their beauty,
there still stands the eternal' fact that the world
do,- not prefer the society of any ugly woman of
genius to that of a beauty of leas intellectual ae
quirelnehts. The world has yet. allowed no higher
mission to woman than to he bee:utile]. An - ft it
would seemthat the ladies of Cie' present age are
carrying this idea of the world to -greater extremes
than ever, for alt' women now, to Whom nature has
denied the talismanic power of beauty, overcome•

au interesting report to the stockholdere will be read.
. . -
The New. York Et:cuing Post of to-day . says:
Mr. Chase has decided that the ten-forty liveperemit.
loan shall not be withdrawn. He will, however, take
measures to prevent further depreciation of the cur
rency by any increased issue of circulating notes. Sub
scriptions to the popular loan are now expected to in
crease, and there is no doubt that HOS loan, the inte
rest and,prinelpal of which are payable in gold, offers
an investment superior to most of the railroad securi
ties now chiefly in favor.' .
Gold. elicited at 179!‘ and closed dull at 17734. Ex
change is inactive at 195.
The loan market is extremely inactive. At 6 per cent.
a considerable amount has teen offered to drat-class
houses, and refused because of the limited business
doing. The ordinary rate for call loans remains at 7 per
cent.
The bank statement reflects significantly this state of
things, and shows an accumulation of two and a half
millions of deposits and a falling off in loans of two mil
lions. Of specie the banks have lost - 1 , 750,6a
Tim stock market opened dull, and as there was some,
disposition to press Mocks for sale, the quotations are
generally lower.
Government securities are quiet. Coupons of 1991
are offered at 11334'; five-twenties at 100, ex interest;
coupon lives of 190•3 at 1654 seven-thirties at 110 for the
April issue, Certificates are steady at 09NR , 9S'if•
Slate stocks are firm; hank shares dull ; mining shares
neglected; railroad bonds steady, and railroad shares
irregular.
Before the first session gold was quoted at 1773 i; Now
