SENATE.—The Vice President laid before the Senate a communication from the Secre- tary of War in reply to a resolution of the Senate of January 26, 1864, concerning copies of military orders issued in Kentucky, Mary- Jand, Tennessee and in connection with elections. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Pomeroy presented a petition from mili- tary storekeepers, asking Congress to pass a | tance of a fee and acting as counsel in the case law defining their rank. Referred to the Mili- tary Com mittee. r. Brown of Mo., presented a petition trom 300 citizens of Harrison county, in that State, setting forth the grievances under which they labor in connection with the military adminis- tration in thatdepartment. Mr. B. said Harrison county was among the most loyal in the State, and condemned the treatment its citizens had met with from the military commandant. He wished the memorial to be referred to the Committee on the Conductoft the War to inv: tigate these matters. He had no doubt, however, that the recent change in the command of the department will resujt in remedying the eyils complained of. Mr. Wilkinson, of Minn., also h that the Committee on the Conduct of the War would investigate this matter. The management there, as be learned from many letters received, would have the tendency to demoralize the troops, among whom were Minnesota regiments, and prevent the return of order in Missouri. The memorial was referred as desired. Mr. Sumner presented a petition of citizens of Boston, principally Germans, protesting against the President's reconstruction plan, and asking Congress to pass laws to render the rebels politically harmless, Referred. Mr. Grimes, trom the Committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia, neporedl back the “bill amending the charter of Georgetown, with a substitute theretore. Mr. Halecalied up there; rt of the Judiciary Committee in his case, re! lative to his accep- of Huut, released from the Old Capitol, The request of the committee to be discharged frem the further consideration of the subject Was concurred in. Mr. Fessenden called ap the bil! to increase the internal revenue, reported with amend- ments by the Finance Committee. Mr. F. explained the considerations which bad influenced the committee in modifying the bill as passes by the House, especially as Tegards the whisky tax. They did not think it proper to impose a tax for punishment on one artucle or one class more than another. As to speculators, who had been speken ot in this connection, they were a class of merchants, and these speculations were mercantile enter- prises generally, and thus capital was actively employed in a way to afford revenue, and this WaAs a revenue measure. The first amendment ot the committee fixing the tax on spirits distilled atter the passage of this at 60 cents, up to Ist Tnly next, was adepted. Gn motion of Mr. Hendricks, the bill was then’ postponed until to-morrow, as he desired to look into it. Hovss.—Mr, Pendleton asked leaye to intro- @uce a bill providing that the Secretaries of the Executive cepernente be allowed to. occupy = om the-floor of the House of Representa- ves. i Mr. Holman objected. ‘The House resumed the consideration of the joint resolution amendatory of the confiscation act. Mr. Wadsworth, of Ky., replied to the speech of Mr. Stevens, horetofore delivered, and de- nied that this is a public war as contradistin- guished froma ciyil war. He contended that the laws of war do not authorize the conquest of individual property orland. They iorbid it. The House went into Committee of the whole on the state of the Union—Mr. Dawes in the chair—and resumed the consideration of the Amendatory enrollment bill. Mr Amos Myers maintained the right to draft under the Constitution, because every man in time of trial is bound to take up arms in de- fence of the lile of the Union.
