Hover —At i1 o'cloek the House reassem- bleu, ana Mr. Finck opposed Mr. Boutwell's bill, He said the exhibition and scenes of the jae ereciut, extending through nearly twenty bours, exhibited the tact that it is always wise for & majority to deal liberally with a minor- ity. Ifa reasonab: me had been allowed for diseussion, the es of last might would not bavt transpired, He argued that the bill was ex post facte, and therefore unconstitutional. He quoted from the remarks ot Mr. Boutwell, submitted yesterday, wherein he said if the Supreme Coart did not take care of their dig- nity the Legislature should step in. He (Mr. Finck) believed the Supreme Qourt was as competent to take care of itsown dignity and honor as was the gentleman from Massachusetts or this House. There were other ways in which the Supreme Court was contaminated, and be would here allude to a gentleman in Mas- sachusetts, who had been elected to a seat in this House to succeed the gentieman’s (Mr. Boutwell’s] colleague, (Mr. Alley,} and he would venture to say that three. fourths of the lawyers of the land who had any regard tor their characters would sooner associate in the Sepreme Court with Alexander H. Stephens than with the person to whom he rete! (Gen. Butler] He did not make this compar. ison to excite bad feeling, but in order to show that men who had engaged im rebellion were regarded higher than one who was guilty of Murder and bribery. Let the judges of the several courts exercise their own judgment as te the moral standing of attorneys, ard all would be satisfactory; but it was evident that this legisiation was conceived in rebellion to the Constitution, and a spirit of malignity against the South. Mr. Finck advocated a spirit of concili tion, and eaid that the principles of the party controlling the legislation of this House were pot in accordance with the principles of the Constitution and form ot Government, and in order to make their party De imciples ppear to be somewhat in conformity wi jonsti- tution. they invaded that instroment and at- tempted to subvert it to meet theirown yi 5 If the Supreme Court continued to do its duty it would declare this bill unconstitutional as ba bad done the test oath. T. Rogers, (N. J.,) Mr. Niblack, (Ind.,)and Mr. Boyer, (Pa.,) made short speeches in op- Position tothe bill. The latter claimed it was an upjustifiable encroachmert upon the pre- rogatives of other branches of the Goyern- ment. At tbree minutes to 12 Mr. Boutwell moved to adjourn, andat IZo’clock the House was called to order, and Mr. Boutwell closed de- bate by an explanation of the bill, and argu- ing that as the Legislature had power toan.- thorize courts to make rules for themeel vee, it had also power to preacribesuch rules as were deemed ni The previous question was then called, and he bill paesed—yeas 109, nays 12 On motion of Mr. Pike (Me.), tha Committee of Ways and Means was directed to inquire into the expediency of allowing drawback on material used in the construction of vessels, Qnd of abolishing the tonnage tax, so that ves- tome ited States may havea share in import n merchandise.
