In the House, on Saturday, there was an ex- citing debate on resolutions toexpel Alexander Long, representative from the Second District ot Ohio, and B. G. Harris of the Fifth District of Maryland, for treasonable utterances in de- bate. Mr. Long delivered a set speech on Fri- day, 1a the course of which he declared him- seif im favor of recognizing the Rebel Con- tederacy. On Saturday Mr. Colfax, of Indi- ana, proposed a resolution expelling him for the language used. During the’debate Mr. Harris, ot Maryland, made 3 speech which alternate. ty excited the derision and the indignation of tne House, endorsing Mr. Long’s speech, de- clating that not aman or & dollar wouid he vote for this “infernal war,” that the South Buying. Selling. L 15, a was not brought into subjection yet. and “God i Almighty grantthatit never may be,” &c. The Tesolution expelling Mr. Long was finally postponed yatil after his speech had appeared in the Congressional Globe, as there was some | dicpute ebout the exact words used by him. Mr. Washburne then submitied * resolution | expelling Mr. Harris from the House for the treasonable expressions he had uttered in de- bate. On the resolution the House yoted yeas 31, nays S&, Two-thirds ot voting in the af- firmative the resolution was not carried. Mr. Schenck then submitted a resolution charac- terising the words used by Mr. Harris as trea- sonable, and declaring himan unworthy mem- ber of the House and thereby severely censurad. This resolution of disgrace and censure was | udopted—yeas 9, mays 14, As no member having a particle of self-respect would hold Mis seat alter receiving such a stinging vote of censure, it cannot be doubted that Mr. Harris | will resign his place in the House, and betake Rimself at once to the Vonfederate lines, where be can advocate the rebel cause with somewhat Jees disbonor to himself than while a member ot Congress, receiving Uncte Sam’s money and under voluntary oath of loyalty to this Gov. | eri ment.

He knew ‘that the gentleman from New = sbire considers himself the Naval Committee, ,committes had beem conducted for jthe past three yeats; and as showing the spirit of the gentleman, he mentioned that at the beginning gentleman from New York (Mr. Harris) the “bairmanship of that committee: bat like the iqstance wherein Satan-had offered the Savior of man grea! rewards, notin kis power to be- setow, Mf he would fail down and adore Lim, and have taken the oath of allegtance to the This merning oneof Capt.

The prisoners were committed to the rnoow at the dress parade of the Engineers at their camp, near the Navy ; Yard, the order approving the proceeding of the court mertial in the case of @ soldier, Josiah Peabody, convicted of desertion and sentenced to be ehot was read.

Hale) had offered the. both the tempter and the twmptation were spurned. ne leman was the most unrelenting, ined, persistant enemy of the Secretary of Navy and of the Nary Department that is in the country, both in public and priyate, in the position where he oughi to id it. ‘. also notced an ad- ve report Mr. Hale, purporting to come from the Commitiee, though none but the chairman had anything to do with it, ona@bdill which he introdu to change the mode of procuring mgyal supplies, with the view of correcting many abuses. Mr.Grimes went on tostate how frands were committed il is connection, through naval storekeepers f orders when certain things were wanted in the mechanical departments, by which, the corruptions of the blacksmith’s and others, frauds were committed. He denounced the manrer in which Mr. Hale quoted from a sypech of his (Mr. Grimes) in the Senatethe other day, by cutting off a sentence in the mid- dle, as a specimen of Petsyiogeing that would have done credit to a itioner at the Old Bailley. He said he had done now. he trusted forever with the Senator from New Hamp- shire, and would in conclusion ask that Sena- tor to recollect that non-resistance was not one of the traits of his creed. Mr. Hale replied briefly, indicating that like the sportemen who took their horses out in the morning for training, the gentleman from Iowa scemed lately to think it necessary to exercise bjmeeif a little on*him (Mr. H.) before entering upon the race of the day. The gentleman had practiced’on him several times. He h , however, the country would survive and the rebellion be putdown. He explained tha@Mr. Grimes’ recolution of repeal was suBmitted to the Naval Committee, at whicha majority was present, though Mr. Grimes was not, and they came to unanimons conclusion, and authorized } him (Mr. H.) to draw upa rt, and it was in part submitted to some of afterwerd. The report was simply a relation of facts, and those facts were true. The cause of the diffi- culty with the ueman is evidently that he has thonghthe not sufficient influence with the committee; but notwithstanding the gentle- man’s Mal eet assault, he should not re- spond in that spirit. As regards the gentie- man’s threat he tared no more for it than he did for his speech, and as the gentieman says he is done with me, I am glad of it. Hover.—Mr. Holman rose to a correction of the journal, as tothe Innguage used by Mr. Harris, of Maryland, on Saturday, for ichhe was “sincerely censured.” The word “sub- jection” was altered in the journal, so as to ac- cord with the fact that he used the word “sub- ; jugation” in connection with his speech. The Speaker laid before the House the official report of Lieut. Gen. Grant, and the reports of the subordinates; which were ordered to be printed. ~ Mr. Hooper introdaced a National bank and currency bill, the consideration of which was postponed till Saturday next On motion of Mr. Stevens, by general con- sent,it was resolved that when the House ad- juurn to-morrow, it be till Thursday, in order to afford members an opportunity to attend the funerai of John C. Rives, late an officer of this House. Mr. Crayens, of Indiana, offered a resolution declaring against an amendment of the Consti- tution, which is ample for war purposes, and that to reduce the States to the condition of territories would be as bad as secession. De- bating arising, the resolution lies over. The House proceeded to the consideration of the resolution heretofore offered. Mr. Fink, of Ohio, re-offering the doctrine as enunciated in the Crittendon resolution—that the war is not waged for the purpose of subjugation, but to restore the authority of the Constitulion, and chat as scon as these purposes were sccom- plished the war ought to stup. Mr. Wilson, of lowa, moved to lay the re- solution on the table. This was agreed to— yers Sl, nays 6. | The Hoyst sesumed te gopsideriiion of the 1 Fesolution offered by Mr. Colfax, of Satprday, proposing to expel Mr. Long, of Ohio. . Mr. Bliss, of Ohio, thought that the Speaker bad not considered the subject fully. He did not understand his colleague to advocate the recognition of the Confederate States, but Merely |o adopt this asachotce of evils. He (Mr. Blies) did not.concur with his colleague, hor did the other m@mbers of the delegation. Mr. Stevens, of Pa.; explained his views as expressed on a former occasion. He had said that the rebels had established & de facto gov- ernment, but as traitors they should be pun- ished by sword and fire, to the extreme limit ot the laws of war. But the gentleman from Obio had advocated the quiet acknowledg- ment of the Southern Contederacy. He suid that ¢ but a knave or fool, or both, would thus assimilate his views to those of the gen- teman from Ohio. Mr. Fernando Wood spoke in justification of Mr. Long’s remarks, looking upon it as ex- traordinary thatthe Speaker should descend from his high official position to move to expel & member from this floor, The war was a failure, and hence there was no crime in ex- pressing & preference Tor recognition rather the subhjugstion of the Sonth with all the at- iendant bloody evils. Mr. Wood made ihe remark that Mr. Chase, a member of the Cabinet, had openty declared for the recogniuon ot the South Mr. Cox said he would prove it; and then read from & paper to show that the Mayor of Baltimore in April. isl, asserted that Mr. had said so. And this had never been . Ashley said Le would deny it. Fernando Wood remarked that Mr. se would not dery it. He then sent to the table a number of extracts, showing the re- marks attributed to certain members of the Republican party 1 advocacy of the dissoiu. von of the Union. Mr. Spaiding, of Ohio, whose name was men- tioned im this connection, said it was a false- hood, come from what quarter it might. Mr. Fernando Wood further contended that war ig destruction, dissolution and extermina- tion. He did not sgree with Mr. Harris in favor of secession, or witn Mr. Long that the alter- pative of recognition has yet been presented, SA oe LOCAL NEWS. ee GronGETOWN AFPAIRS.—The flood in the liver and canal yesterday and to-day excites considvrable anxiety for the safety of the upper ons of thecanal.
