He read a letter from a citizen of Wis- consin, by the name of Willard, a soldier in the late war, but now settled im Texas, in which the statement is made that justice is unob- structed, that things are moving along qGuietiy and peaceably. Mr. Wilson said every one of the military commanders in*!.e South reported that auarchy prevailed, and there was notuirg but cruelty ior tbe freedmen. Hovuse.—Mr, Laflin, (N.

The question recurring upon the motion to lay on the tuble, Mr. Finck withdrew that motion. Mr. Eliot then witadrew the demana for the previous question, in order that the bill might amended, and upon his motion the section (ta) providing for @ delegate in Congress was etricken out. Mr. Eliot renewed the demand fer the pre- vious grestion. Mr. Eldridge (Wis.) said that when the mo- tion to lay om the table was withdrawn, it was understood that an opportunity was to be afforded for debate Mr. Eliot satd he did not know upon what ground that supposition was based. He knew of no such undeistanding. He had no Obje>- tien to the bill being debated for an hour or two if that was satisfactory. He would there- Tore suggest thatthe bill be discuese@ tor an hour ora half, when fe would call the pre- vious question. Mr. LeBlond (Ohio) said he understood the gentleman to propose to allow an houraod a half for debate and then call the question oa the paseage of the bill. He did not wish to be understood as now speaking for the minority, bat for bimeeif. He thought tbat when it was proposed to hurry a bill of this importance through after an honrs’ debate, it was time tor the minority to assert their rights. He was aware that one reason urged for this haste was that the Houee Representatives were near the close of the session, and that no policy ef re- construction had as yet been adopted.
