Mr. Cuanprer called up the bill for the, tion of abandoned property and for the prevention of fraud in the insurrectionary districts, the pending question being on the motion to strike out the sections providing for the | ere gy of cotton, rice, 81 and tobacco. Mr. Chandler ped there sections would not be stricken ont. He said great quantities of cotton had been collected by the army at the Southwest; but it was mostly divided among? cor- tain officers, and the Treasury had not received a dollar for the cotton coliected by the army, except some at eg Head. Mr, Powx1, (opp.) of Ky., hoped the Senator would investigate the matter before his Committee on the Con- duct of the War. The motion was lost—14 against 21. Mr Cuakk, (rep.) of N.

Mr. Davis, (Union) of Ky., offered an amendment that any officer plundering or secreting property, or bartering or selling cotton, rice or tobacco, or in any way aiding any one else to do this, shall be dismissed from the rer- vice. and be forever incapable of holding any office or place in the service, Mr. Powis. moved to tnsert the wi “taking” after the word “plundering,” and the word ‘money’ after the word ‘‘property.”” He said he knew and had evidence in his possession that officers in the West taken large sums of wwoney from persons a they arrested before they mould ir gaa ‘The motion was agreed Mr. Howanp, (rep ) of tiich., said the Laws and Ar- ticles of War provided for these chses now. This amend- ment was offered simply for the purpose of making a charge against certain officers. He was unwilling to make <r such charge without any evidence. Ir. Davie said that a shipload of flour was at Belize by the brother of « certain officer.

He was ready at all times to account for his oaieck, though he should not answer newsypape! If Mr. Davis was an honest and just man he could at any time be satisfied by the letter, Mr. Wilson said he believed that all the other charges against General Butler would turn out as groundless as this one.

Doouirrix, (rep.) of Wis., renewed the amendment to strike out the eecticn authorizing the Treasury agent to purchase property in the insurrectionary districts. He did not wish the government to become a great factor in articles of property, and be did not wish especially to furnish means to the rebels to buy munitions of war to carry on the fight Mr. Hexneeson, (Union) of Mo,, hoped the section would be strickeu out. The government might as well break wp the blockade at once as thus to become an im menee trader and furnish supplies His information was that the rebels had received great aid and comfort from the contraband trade on the Mississippi river. The mo ney furnished would be used to help the rebels, and if this policy was purtued the war would be interininable Mr, ContaMan, (rep.) of Vi, contended that this pro- vision of the bill would practically defeat the Coni on act, by buying property which was already contiscated, He ‘also referred to @ former act of Congress authorizing the President to grant licenses to trade. The motion was agreed to—24 against 16. Mr. Cuanprxn the bill was now worthless. The Senate had deliberately voted to continue the present state of things, that ite generals should be demoralized and that a vast amount of property should be handed over to the thieves to be divided among them.
