He would not say one word to detract from the respect to which the gallant and brave gentieman from Kentucky ‘was ontitled.

Mr. Rovsstan, (rep.) of Ky., remarked that he had not heard at the time what the genticman from New Jersey (Mr. Rogera) was reported as having said.

The laws give him no authority over the subject of re- Organization, By the constitution he was Commander- in-Chief of the army and navy. It wasyhis duty, under the laws of nations and the army regulations, to restore order, to preserve property and to protect the people ‘against violonce from any quuttér Until provision should be made for their government. He might, as President, assemble Congress and submit the whole matter to the Jaw making power, or he might continue military super- vison and control until Congress should assemble on its regularly appointed day. As to the Governors appointed by the President, it could noi be contended that they possessed or could ex- ercise any but military authority. They had no power to organize civil governments, nor to exerciso any au- thority except that which inhered In their persons under thelr commissions; neither had the President, as Com- mander-in-Chief, any other than military power, But he was in exclusive possession of the military authority, Tt was for him to decide how far he would exercise it~ how far he would relax it—when and on what terms he would withdraw it. He might, perhaps, permit the peo- ple to assemble and to initiate local governments and to execute such local laws as they might choose to form, not inconsistent with nor in opposition to the laws of the Unit d States, and, satisfied they might safely be left to themselves, be might withdraw the military force altogether and leave the people of any or all of these States to govorn themselvea without his interference. ‘The Committee, after 5; ing of the origin and lead. ing incidents of the war, say it was waged as a civil war of gigantic magnitade, "It was necosearily eubject to all the rules which, by the laws of nations, control a contest of that character, and to all tho legitimate consequences following it. One of the consequences was this: within the limits proscribed by humenity the conquered rebela were at the mercy of their conquerors. The Committee did not deem it necessary or propor to discuss the ques- tion whether the late Confederate “tates aro still States of this Union or can ever be otherwise. Grant this pelts abstraction ebout which 20 many words ave been Cage it by no means follows that the people of these States may not place themsetves in @ condition to abrogate the powers and _ priv.leges incident to a Stats of tho Union and deprive themselves of all pretonce to right to exorcise their power and enjoy their privilegs. The Committeo Maintain that no portion of the people of the country, whether in a Stato or territory, have the right, while re- maining on its soil, to withdraw from or reject the au- thority of the United States. They bay it is quite evi- dent from atl the fsets, and, indeed, from the whole mass of testimony submitted the” President, that in no instance was any regard paid to any other considera- tion than obtaining jinmediate edmission to Congress under the barren form of an election in which no pre- cautions were taken to secure regularity of proceedings or the assent of the peopl fo conatitution haa been legally adopted, except, perhaps, in the Stato of Ten- nessee, and such elections as were hold wore without authority of law, The Committee are accordingly forced to the counclusion that the States referred to have not pisces themselves in a condition to claim representation | Congress unless all the rules which have, since the foundation of the government, been decmed casential in such cases shall be disregard The Committee then review a length the condition and feeling of the Southern people, soving, among other things, that the latter claim as'a mgit the privilege of participation at once in the government which, for four years, they rought to overthrow, while thelr presses abound in abuse of the loyal States and efforta aro wade to perpetuate the deadiy hate and discord between the two sections and exeite peng, Against the federal Union. Tho report, which it «long one, concludes ax follows, which may bo rugarded es a summary of the wi The evidence of an Intenze hostility to tho federa! Union and an equally intenss love of the lute confederacy, the war, is decisive, While it appears that nearly all are willing to submit at least for the time being to federal authority, it i« equally clear that tho ruling motive "Ix a dostre to obtain tho advantages which will be dorived from a re- prosentation in Congress. iticert of the Union army on duty, and Northern inen who go South to engage tn business, are genorally detested and proseribed, Sonth- ern men who adhered to the Union are bitterly hated and rolentlessly persscuted.

"The testimony is conclusive of the confMleracy the feeling of the rebellious States was that of submission, Having appowed to tribun i! of arma, they had no hope except that by the magnanimity of their conquerors thelr tives and posibly their property might be preserved. Unfor- f pard ot tunately the to porsons who had protalnent im the rebellion, and the feol Uiners and conciliation manifested by tho Executive and very generally ind cated through the Northern press, dad the effect to render whole commonities forgetful of the crime they had committed, dellant towards the fod erat government and rogardiess of their duty as citizens, The conciliatory measuree of the government do not seem ta have been met oven half way.

Execution of Anton Probst at Philadelphia, Profession of Deep Penitence by the Monster. INTERESTING SCENE AT THE SCAFFOLD. TOE CULPRIT’S LETTERS TO BIS PARENTS. ke. &o, &e. Pusvapetrma, Juno 8, 1866. The exceution of Anton Probst, for the murder of tho Deering family, took place to-day, at the Moyamensing Prison. Tho affair produced the most tntouse excite- ment, and the most extraordinary effurta were mado by citizens to procuro admission to the prison; but Sheriff Howell contined the number of admissions to persons whose presence was {mperatively necessary, and conse- quently a great many who calculated atrongly on getting a chance to witness the execution were doomed to disappointment, THE MASSACRE for which Probst so justly paid the penalty of death has no parallel in the annals of crime. The cool and deliberate manner in which he butchered his victims, from the aged fathor and mother down to the babe at the breast; the miserable motive which impelled the wretch towards the commission of the orime, tho utter heartleasness and obduracy of the prisoner when arrested, his conduct on the trial, and his demeanor up to the very last moment of Lis life, all contribute to stamp him as a criminal of no ordinary character, The tmgedy, it will be recollected, oceurred on the 7th of April, at Mr. Deering’s farm on Jones? Jane, on the outskirta of the city, Probst was engaged in the capacity of hired men, and conceived the idea of robbing his employer. In order to bo successful Probst thought it necessary to murder the entire family first, and then commence the work of pillage, Taking ad- vantage of the temporary absonce of Mr. Deoring in Philadelphia, Probst proceeded to carry out his plans, Cornelius Carey, alad who was bound to Mr. Deering, was the first victim, Probst slew bim as he was work- ing in ® field and concealed his body in @ bayetack. Mrs, Deering and her tour children were then de- coyed, one by one, into a barn, and there slaughtered in a similar manner, the — mur- deror using a small axe which he had purchased for the occasion in the execu tion of his unboly work. The bodies were all \hrust into acorn crib and covered over with hay, and thia part of the work having been finished the murderer coolly waited for Mr, Decring to come homo in order that Le might complete the slaugh- . Deerinz, Probat met them at the door step, and, addrossing bis employer, said there was something the matter with some of the cattle in tho barn, and that he had better come right out avd se about it, Tho nnauepeeting vie tim promptly proceeded to the barn, followed by Probst, and was murdered just aa soon ax he entered the pre- mises. Probst then returned to the house, and, flud- ing Miss Dolan, told ber that Mra, Deor'ng wanted ta seo her at the barn, She too was unsuspecting, and foll an eaay Vietim to the deep and well lil plane of the murderer, This comploted the murderous work, making the number of lives he had taken eight \n all ag follows :—C! Deering, aged thirty-eight years; Julia Deering, aced forty-five years; Elizabeth Dolan, ed twenty-five yours; John Deering, aged eight years: ‘Thomas Deering, aged six years; Anna Deering, aged four years; Emily Doering, aged two yearn; Cornelius Carey, aged seventeen years, Probat was now free to ransack the house and do as be pleased without fear of interruption. His search for plunder resulted in bis finding the paltry sum of seventeen dollars, a couple of revolvers and somo clothing belonging w Mr. Deering, which he appropriated forthwith. After washity, and dressing himself in a suitof his employer's best clothes, Probst dekberstely sat down and regaled him- wolf with bread avd , and then locking up the premises started for the city.
