This Afternoon’s Proceedings. -o——_— Fripay, Mareh 17. SENATE.—The Vice President laid before the Senate the credentials of Hon. John W- Jobnson, of Virginia, as Senator from Virginia, for the term of six years from March 4, 1871. The credentials were read, and Mr. Johnson came for ward and was sworn in. Mr. Chandler, from Committee on Com merce, reported bill to DEFINE A GROSS OF MATCHES, and for other purposes. Hesaid it was merely designed to prevent fraud, and asked tor its present consideration. Mr. ard said the business of manuf ictur- tng sautcbes wan largely carried on in the com. munity which he represented. There bad been bo business which had been more harrassed by taxation than this, In rv zard to this bill, would like to Kiow whecic: it had bc on asked awufacturers generally, and jesigned for the benefit of any part cular manutacturer. Mr. Chandler repeated that it was only to revent frand, and would be agreeable to every Eonest manufacturer. Mr. Pomeroy said it looked to him as if the Dill was designed tor the benetit of a particular manufacturer, as it prescribed @ particular mode of putting up the matches. ‘The bili then, at the suggestion of Mr. Bayard, was laid over for the present. Mr. Vickers, from the Committee on Com- merce, reported a bill to create Potomac, Vir- ginia, a port of delivery. Passed. Mr. Vickers, trom a majority of the COMMITTEE ON DISABILITIES, Teported a bill to remove the legal and political disabilities of Zebulon B. Vance, of North Carelina, United States Senator elect, avi asked tor its present consideration, urging that it was due to the State of North Carolina and to Mr. Vance that action should be had. Mr. Boreman, as a member of the committee, desired it to be understood that he did not con- cur in the bill. Mr. Pomeroy said be could not consent that the bill should be considered in the morning hour, to the exclusion of the regular business. But at the proper time he had no objection to its being taken up, and he purposed then to “The bill was then Placed upon the calender The bili was upon lender. ollros mae Sammie sthorize Pacific Railroad, re authorize the Atlantic and Pacific railroad to mortgage iteroad. Passed. Mr. A’ rose and referred to the fact that the House of tives had ordered @ special committee to in AFFAIRS IN THE SOUTH. He thought it wae that the Senate should also be represented in this matter, that the investigation should be conducted under the auspices of the two Houses. He therefore moved a concurrent resolution providing for the appointment ot A JOINT COMMITTEE OF FIVE on the part of the Senate and seven on the part of the House, to investigate affairs in the South, to sit during the recees, employ clerks and ste- nographers, and to he ye at Law time, the ex- penses to be paid out of the contingent fund of the two Houses, and with power to appoint sub- committees. ir. Trumbul) suggested that the number on 't of the Senate be seven instead of five, lect committee on the part of the Senate now being composed of that number, and it might be well to continue the members of tha: select committee as the members of the joiut committee on the part of the Senate. Mr. Anthony then modified the resolution ac- cording to the suggestion of Mr. Trambull. Mr-fharman said it was not his purpose to interpore any obstacle to the passage of the resolution, because if an investigation was neces rary, he thought it should be ‘made. But one suggestion he wished to make was that in the appointment of the sub-committees BACH PARTY SHOULD BE REPRESENTED. He did not wish to be understood as conveyin, the idea that one party more than another bi @ greater interest in the preservation of th= peace of the country. He su, ted to the mover of the resolution to provide for this. Mr. Anthony did not think it necessary to do tuis, because he had no idea that both partic- would not be represented on the sub-commit- rol Suoh bad always been the practice of the Senate. Mr. Scott coincided it this view, and said the Select Committee on the South had pever taken testimony in the absence of a member of the min Oth ators also expressed the opinion that there would be no question about the mmority being represented on the sub-comumittees. The reeolution was —. Mr. Corbett, from ittee on Commerce, reported bill to faci!

The questions of the constitutior:- ality of the proposed methods of suppresainz the alleged disorders, and the practical dificul tles which would attend the enforcement of such measures, if adopted, were discussed at great length. Finally votes were taken with the tollowing result:—First—It was agreed that to-day in the session of the Senate, the House cOucurrent resolution tor adjourment next Monday shali Le laid on the table. Secor That a joint resolution shall be duced by Mr. Anthony, and mreried by the republican majority, providing for the S@ppoint- ment of @ joint committee of five Senators and seven members of the House to take testimony in regard to the condition of affairs in the South. ‘Third.—That a resolution shall be adopted in- structing the Senate judiciary committee to Tepert @ bill for the suppression of unlawful organizations and the better protection of life and property in the Southern States, and finally, that no other islation shall be con- sidered or enacted di a the present session. Mr. Trumbull made an effort to have the party agree to vote en the House bill for free con! and free salt, and not have action excluded by the decision to remain and le; holly on the ku-klux bill. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, said that these efforts of republicans to meddle with the tarift were doing the party more injury than all the democratic assaults put together. ‘The Proposition was lost, and coal and salt go over to the next session.
