Cpuantittoe on Enance .a 'bill for the
. , .
Iropealof the-exam tax, 11.111/ INClkhotice
'that he would calbit up to-lnorrod. '
Mr. PATTMISON, N. E., from the
Committee. vo lletrenchmeat, reported
a rennitition that contracta for stO.ionery
ant other supplies for the Executive
Departments shall, in the present unset
tled condition of the country, be Mach..
, fok a period no longer - them one - year
Adopted.
Mr. NOYES Introdtreea trbillto amend
the various oats establishing it navy de
partment, - .Deferred to the Naval Com:
ante:. -
On motion of Mr. SIII:DMAN the
Senate took up -the bill in reee.,,, rd to the
proceeds of captured and nbanuoned
T e qucatlces aa.S.islated to beim Mr.
Edmunds' amendmeet.
I Mn EDMUNDS stated that since yes
, terdny ho had learned the Secretary of
the Treasury had been instructed to ep=
point treasury agents sander at. .
of Congress. Mr. Omni had • con
sulted the Solicitor in ,to whether
ho had authority to decide which was
captured. Mid which abandoned
property. The question.' had arisen
whether the President or Secretary had
authority to submit - the question to h
commissioner, and particularly What had
been called the Savannah Cotton cases.
The Attorney General had decided ad
versely. The Seeretary,of the Treasury,
ho believed, bad given op no canon In a
manner conflicting with that opinion.
He read a letter from the Attorney Gen
eral, dated April 24th, 1166, expressing
the opinion that certain-property Was.
.unjtatillably aimed, not havingbeen the
FeTter t iz o o r ne th rs e t ( erthel n ec le r B et tu fry • Ol Y t h t i ;
Treasury tram personal blame.
. Mr. FESSEIi DEN said this matter was
doubtless mused by such a misapprehen
sion aggravatedby diasatisfleticialmanta
Of such property. few had- arty concep
tion ol the trouble and difficult). entailed
on the Treasury Department - by large
amounts of property, scattered all over
the country, which had been seized. :The
law did not mean that the gross receipts
of captured property should be paid into
the Treasury. Secretary" Chase had
established the principle of paying the
expenses of captured property out of
the proceeds.' Would it be proper that
-when certain property Was unjus=
seized it shout,' be sold and the p
paid into the Treasury? Mr. Chase bad
decided it would be fleet subject to proof.
The sixth section made it the duty of Gip
army arid navy receiving abandoned
property to turnit over to the govern
ment. They bad been in the habit of
Seining property that hid - never been
abandoned, and. the Secretary •of the
Treasury had properly allowed proof of
ownership. In act of 1164 It was
provid
cd that the proceeds, after deducting ex
penses, were to bo' paid inks the Treas
ury, under which law he had- assumed
control of that tlepartment. He had
doubtless erred in endorsing the opinion
referred to of the Solicitor Of the .I'reu
nry, without suMMnatly considering the
difference thetvreen. eapteired and &Mo. ,
donod property, but; an investigation
would show that under his administra
tion, and probably under that of the
other Secretary, in property subject to
seizure they had exercised the most
scrupulous care, so great care, indeed;
that a part of The office was 'Set aside for
that haveselgatioe..'
'pedant - gentleman detailed to pro
nounce ,on the legal sutrect of
the cane. Ili addition to that be
himself hail always examined cases after
a decision by this Bureau, and hail
sometimes set it aside. Mr. McCulloch
had simply followed the Mune marked
°orby himself and predecessor, and felt
'called to take a share of the blame, if
there were any. If the bill ehould pan
with the amendment, though the - Trea
sury Department had no objection, it
would operate unjustly to partieshaving
just claims against such property, de
priving them of their remedy. -
Mr. SHERNIAIN said when he claimed
yesterday that the Secretary of the Treas
ury had conformed his action to the opin
ion of the Solicitor, the Senator from Ill
inois (Mr. Trumbull,) had taken lam by
surprise in denying the fact. He reed a
I
statement from the Secretary's report,
I showing that the fact was as he had stat
ed. He explained that the Committee
on Finance had defined the action
on the bill on the representation of thq
Secretary of the Treasury In regard to
proceeds of the thirty-four million dol
lars worth of property. Doubtless it
was not proper for th;tmoney to remain
without being carried into the Treasury.
If the Senator from Maine thought more
time should be allowed, he had no ; ob
jections. .
. .
Mr. FTSSENDENT said the onlirca•
son for delay was that It waa only the
net proceeds that were to be paid Into
the ireastfry, and niers were certain
claims to be testerL.
The morning hour haring expired,
Mr. JOHNSON roso to spent. on Mr.
Drake's resolution restive to the Pres
ident's message • -
Mr. TRUMBULL desiring to spook
On Um pending bill, opostponn motion of Mr.
SHERMAN' it waspostponed till to
morrow.
Mr. DRAKE rose to a petuonal ex
planation in regard to an attack upon
him by the Nations:4 Intelligencer and
the New York Troth:, bossed upon a cor
respondence In the Cincinnati Comma..
fira, under the nom de plume of "Mock:.
The charge wan that he (Mr. Drake) h .
voted in the Legislature of Missouri, in
18541 and 'us, that negroes in his State
should be put pp by the Sheriffs at pub
lic auction. It wouldhe unjust to him
self and his State did ho nut pronounce
the statement totally false. In August,
1850, ho was elected to that Assembl„
and took his seat, not having previously
been a member. 'The previous winter
the House passed such a9hill, and after he
took his seat a substitute was offered
to the same effect. An amendment was
offered, providing that negroes or mulat
toes settling in the State Niece 1847,
should bb reduced to slavery. He had
voted for It. The operetta of it would
have been confined to a . dbiall number.
If the bill should have become a law,
every negro in the State woe to be
enslaved, but ire had voted against the
bill on italinal passage. The statement,
therefore, woe false and unfounded.
The SENATE took up Mn DitAHE'S

IWe may add that the First Reformed

two pastors. The present. pastor, Rev.
