Preparations for the Periodical Louisi- ana Fight in the Senate, IN THE HOUSE. SOUTHERN CLAIMS. Special Lepateh to The Trina, Wasuinatoy, D. C., April 15.—The House devoted the day to the consideration of the Southern Claims question, upon Gen. Brage’s amendment to abolish the Southern Claims Commission. ‘The reault was thut Bragg was defented by 65 to 113. The subject {s nut yet ended, however, os a proposition to adopt the Potter Claiins Commission bill of last year fs pending. There {s not much probabitity that it will pass, The debate on the Bragg amend- ment showed that the Claims Commission had agreat many friends among the Democrats, and that the Republicans geucrally would not vote to abolish it. Perkdps the most novel feature io the debate was the testimony which ox-Con- federate soldiers bore to the tact of extended loyalty’ fu the South, A Tennessev ex-Rebel and South Carolina Confederate Colonel DENOUNCED GEN. BRAGG in sound terms for bis‘ asgumption that there were no loyal meu fn the South, and cited many instances to show where men were not only loyal but were put to sovere tests of thelr love for the Union. Gen, Garticld was able to show from the rec- ords of the War Department that there were fifty Southern regiments ightlug on the Union side, and Gen, Henderson, of the Rock Island, Iltuols, District, bore his personal testimony to the Juct that throughout the War he fought side by side with Southern regiments for the Union cause, ‘The Republicans couldn't consistently yoto to abollah the Claims Commiasion, as it is A CREATURE Of THEI OWN CREATION, and was estabushed to secure the payment of clalms of undoubtedly loyn) men in the South who in many instances furnished such fovalua- bie ald to the Union army, There can beno doubt that there have been some fraudulent claims presented to the Com- mission, but as. a whole the Republidans are of opinion that the claims pald have been just ones, Gen. Garfleld taunted Gen. Bragg that the proposition to abulish this tribunal for loyal Southern men did not come frum an ex-Confed- erate, but from a Union soldter, nnd Gen, Brage, later In the debate, declared that he did not pro- nounce himevlf so much agulust the fact of undoubted loyalty at the South ag at the ma- chinery of the Southern Clatims Commisston. The Republicans voted against the proposition to trausfer the business of the Commission to the Court of Clalme, for the reason that the lat- ter Court hus OFEXED WIDE THE Door to the payment of all classes of clutins, loyal as well as distoyal, by deciding that the Presiden- Unl pardon fs a barto any tnquirles as to loy- alty. This decision gives all Rebela who re- celyed Andrew Jolinson's purdon equal rights beforo that tribunal with meu of undoubted loyalty, P ‘The object of Springer's amondment, tnough concealed under a proposition to relieve Con- eress of these claims, wag to reffeyo clalinants now before the Cumnission, and those whose clalins way hereafter be filed, from any test of losalty. ‘The House again adjourned without reaching the potitical legisiation attached to the bill, THE DEBATE, Tothe Western Associated Press, Wasiunaton, 1 C., Aprit 15.—The House went into Commiltteo of the Whole on the Legis- lative bil, the pending question belng of Mr. Brage’s motion to {nvert a clause repealing the law creating the Southern Clalins Commiesion, und the substitute thereforo offered by Afr, Young (Fenn) abolishing the Commisston, but trausterring all claims nuw pending before tt to Jourt af Clune, Mr. Bragg spoko in favor of the proposition. The taw orderlig the Court bad been passed on what the Republicau side of the House wontd call an unconstitutional und rovolutionary method, baying been encrafted on au Appro- printion bill. He therefore liad expected that side of the House to ald bim in his proposition, but he found tht with them itwas “all tall, and noctder) ‘The first objection that he bud was to the Court Itself, not to fts members or otlictals. It was nut conlined to legul evidence, but was allowed to act on unsworn’ evidenco of detectives, ‘The Court by acting on the un+ aiworn atutement of such men had proved that the terms uscd to designate the informer mighe property be applied to the Court Itself. Mr. Ketfer replied to Mr, Bragg, and claimed thatthe Court should not be interfered with until fe died by limitation, Mr, Atkins thought {t proper that the Com- mixston should be extended avother year. Mr, Baker (1nd,) opposed ue amendinents. The question was whether the men who had advanced supplivs to the Union army should be paid or not. He believed tut those inca who had worn the bine, though they bad happened to sive In the Bouth, were ag much entitied to compousa- ton us those whe bad tived tm the North. Mit. YOUNG (TENN.) sald he did not think he would vote for Mr. Brage’s amendment, because he held that it was thelr duty to give the citizen a tribunal to which his demand could ov tried. ‘There lad been Joyal men iu the South,—as true iu their fealty. to the Federal Government a8 any mun who re- sited In the Northern States,—and the claims of Joyal mien should be pald. Mr. Rusecil (N. C.) protested thut the‘propo- sition offered by ihe eentloman from Wiscousin (Bragg) was not only an injury, but an insult, to the Unlon man of the South It bad become quite respectable on this oor to cast slure at thie Unlon meu of the South, That had got to be the bigh-toned thing, the highly respectable thing, but the insinuation was a slander on the men Who were thy equals of the vontleman from Wisconsin or of apy other gentleinan op the four, [Applause onthe Republican aide, Mr, Warner wanted to know why the geutle- man fron North Carollua would have the House toto pay for property which be (Russell), wiille in the Conthderate service, had helped to destroy. Mr, Russell, not baving heard. the ques! dlatinctly, did not answer it directly, but sat that be Had been in the Confederate service, and that he was not apologizing for it either, Mr, Garfield, in snawer to some arguments on the opposite slde, remarked that the Southern. Ctaims Commissian was not a court, but merely ® comintttee to take testimony and REPORT IT TO CONGRESS. He sald that 99 per cent of all the clatms pre- sented before the Southern Cialma Commission would, {f sent to the Committee on Claims, go through without needing any proof of Joyalty on the part of the claimant, because it had been decided that the Executive pardon removed the diatinetion of lovalty. ‘The proposition, there: fore, was to abolish substantinily the distine- {lon that hod hitherto been mnde in that ro- spect,—that clatins arisingoutof the War should not be pald except to persons who had been loyal to the Government during the War, That objection was, to bis mind, utierly fatal to the proposttion offered by the gentleman from Tens hosseo (Young). If that amendment was to pre- vail, he wanted members to vote npan it with thelr eyes open, and to know that all outetand. Ing claims (over 8,000) were to be rent to a court. in which, under its rulings, the distinction be- tween loyalty und disloyalty could not be ree tained, Mr. Braga ssked Mr. Garfield whether the Jaws of war and Interoatfonal law did not hold that the conquering power was not reaponsibte for any loss inflicted upon private citizens re- siding in hostile territory. Mr. Garfield admitted that it was so, but stated that the law would not avall in this roat- ter, because, 1€ Congress conferred nnon the Court of Claims jurisdiction over these elatmna, it would be conferred according to the estab- shed rules of that Court. Mr. Brage—Will not, these claims go to that Court to be determined according to Inw, and fs it not such that nu disloyal claimant can recover iu that Court, und was ‘not that the reason for the makeshift by which the Republican party created this Southern Clutins Commission? Mr. Garfleld—By repeated decisions af the Court of Claiins and of the Supreme Court, the vardon of a claimant ia construed tu wipe out the distinction of disloyaity, Mr. Bragg—My ptirpose in offering this amendment is to prevent this Government pay- ing any debt which it fs NOT LEGALLY LIANLE TO PAY. That ts my first purpose. My seconil purpose In tu prevent gentlemen on the other side from pub- ishing campaigu documents in whleh they call us ‘Coufederates,” and accuse us of an attempt to rob the Government, aud in which they de- founes me as a coadjutor distributing tally, [Laughter] £ want these gentlemen to face the music.” They have hid themeclyes behind the shadow of loyalty long enough, Was Ten- neasee loyal during the Ward If so, why, fn God's name, did she go out of the Union, and vost us more people and treasure to field than guy other State except Virginia coat ust The people with whom you Ive are the peuple by whom you are to be judged. If the peuple of North Carolina were loyal, how did the geutle- man (Russell) know that while he himself waa serving in the Confederate army, while he was & member of the Confederate Lecislature, then becoming a Republican Judge with- out ever having Fraslusted from a law oftice? Ueaushter-| om not astouished that the rules adopter! by the Southern Clatns Commlasion should meet favor with thut gen- tleman. [Caurhter.| J agree with the gentle- man from Obto (Garilold) that the substitute offered by the gentleman from WUeSEGC (Young) ought notto be adopted. Every oue of those claimants was an enemy. ‘Fhev hai no Jegal claim agalnst the Governinent, and when we cotnmenced opening the doors of the Tress- ury tu them we did it asa mutter of uratulty, and yet you ask all these men (meaning South: ern metnbers of the House) who lost their all in the cause, to vote tu tax themselves to pay the men who were distoyal to them us well a8 dis- loyal to us; to the men who wero “ Good Lord” and “Good Devil,” depending upon which flag floated in feunt of the place’ where they lived during the War. [Loughter.) You ask them todo that, You ask that the burdens of this already overburdened peopla BHALL BE INCREASED In violation of international law. Mr, Garfleld—The general doctrine of bellig- crenteis of course scceted by everybody to cover as enemics, technically, all the “inhabit- ants of the belligerent territory. ‘That ceneral doctring is recognized by ull lawyers every- where. Wut nobody line aver denied, except the gentleman from Wisconsin, that during War and since, the Supreme Court has repest- edly determined that in cases before it the question of loyalty cannot be raleed where the party bas been granted a pardon. It was stated in the last Congress that 9 percent of all the Neople of the succdad States were what we would call disloyal, and that every man in those States that amounted to anything belone- ed to tht category, 1 desire to traverse that provesition by some facts. Do gentlemen now that (leaving out all the border Staten) there were Iifty regiments and seven companies of white men fn our army flehtins for the Union from States that went into the Rebethon?
