THIRTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Second Session. SENATE. ‘Wasmxctos, Jan, 26, 1867. ‘THE IMPORTATION OF FIRECRACKERS, Mr. orcas, (rep.) of N. ¥., presented a remonstrance fgainst the proposed prohibition on the importation of firecrackere, which was ordered to lie on the table, INDIAN APPAIRS, Mr. Doourms, (rep.) of Wis, presented the report of the joint special committee appointed March 3, 1865, to inquire into the condition of the Indian tribes and the past 5 ement of Indian affairs, which was read and rns ~ = pee by an appendix containi is report is ‘8 great Serount of ipformation from distinguisbed mil itary officers and from civilians, and the testimony of many witnesses, The field of the investigation is given from the West to the shores of the Pacific, and was ex- amined in divisions by sub-commissioners. The com- mittee especially recommend the eof the Senate Dill now pending in the House for the creation of boards of inspection for the constant and thorough super- vision of Indian affairs and al} new States and Ter- ritories, They urge that such investigation is the best of all modes suggested to secure fidelity and efficiency in the Indian service, and to prevent wars, which r all are the source of the greatest expenditures and abuses connected with the Indian affaira The boards of in- spection are clothed with power to visit all Indian tribes in their respective districts annually, to see that the treaty stipulations on the part of the United States are faithfully kept: to hear the complaints of Indians; to preserve amity, with power to suspend or cause any officer of the general government to be suspended, and teexamine bis books and accounte, and to inquire gen- erally into their treatment by civil officers and military anthogities. One member of the board is to ne detailed from the regular army by the Secretary of War; one member of the Board isto be appointed from among euch persons as may be named by the great religious bodies in convention, and the chief of the board is to be an assistant commissioner of Indian affairs. The argument of the commission is that the beard so constructed can supervise all our Indian affairs jm a threefold character—civil, military and edncational—and that the abuses in our In dian system do not grow so much out of the system which Congress has adopted as from want of efliciency in the administrat:on of tHe system, in sparsely inhabited and far distant Territories, and that such boards of in- spection aro the best, if not the only, means of securing greater efficiency and fidelity in the premiees, REIJEF OF THE NORTH MISSOURI RAILROAD, Mr. Hexpensos, (rep.) of Mo., introduced a bill for the reliet of the North Missouri Railroad Company, by allowing it credit for duties on railroad iron, Referred 1 the Finance Committee, RALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RATLROAD.

It was dwagreed to by a vote of 10 yeas to 17 nays. Mir, Pessenpew moved to strike ont the word “alher- tile” from the [otlowing paragraph: —“On aspbalturm, bitumen or mineral piths, albertiie and bituminous epales of every description, $5 per ton.”” His object, he #aid, was to put it under the heed of coal, Tho amend- eed LO. 4 runs, (rep.) of Vt,, moved to amend by chan ing the duty on al! marble in slabs or biocks fro cents per cubic foot and twenty ceuts ad valor dollar per cubic foot.

No sooner had he done this than he was told that he must increase the tanff to proiect home manufactures. He believed the existing tariff was ampte for revenue purposes. Un- der it and the internal tax now levied the national debt could be paid off in fifteen or twenty years, This bill, he said, was unjust to the West.

Mr, ad nsout interrupted him to say that though Mr, Seward might have been the leader ot the republican party, that was before he bad got his head hurt, but that gince be had got his head hurt he had been a fit leader for the democratic party. Mr. Ross, without stopping to notice the thterruption, proceeded with his argument against the Dill. He be: lieved the calm and dispassionate opivion of the House would be that the bill was uiworthy of an American Congress. The war had been waged to save, not to destroy the Union of the States; but, according to the theory of this bill, the war had struck from the national banuer ten of its stars, He never could consent to such an act. The expressed sen! 3 of Generals Grant and Sherman were against thy Some ermy officers might favor it, but they were officers whose military deeds during the war had been the hunting of cotton and silver spoons Another objection to the prin- ciple of declaring the rebs! States conquered provinces was that if they were conquered pro- Vinces the general government would be re sponsible for their debts. He recognizes in the party most opposed to the representation of the Southern States in Congress, the operation of the fecling in sap- port ot a bigh tariff. The Representatives allotted to the ten States excluded were only fifty, so that if ever they were in their seats the Representatives of the other States would outnumber them nearly four to one, What dan- ger could there then be from that source? After 1870 they would be outnumbered five to one. The including of the colored people in the basis of representation would not add much to the Southern Representatives, because, if there was any troth in the reports of outrages upon colored people in the South, industrionsly circulated, there would be an emigration of negroes from the South to New England, like to the flight of Davis, ong q prosentatives of doy Roeiend would be . le. deprecated Asegullg Bade, ine House on Judge Davi the Supreme Court, and upon the President of the Wnited States. If Congress could depose the President and paralyze the Supreme art oe government would be destroyed 40 this country. le thought he saw among the leaders of the republican party types of the Robespierres, the Dantons and the Marats of the French Revolution. He ‘appealed to Congress to let well enough alone Rather bear the ilis we have than fly to others that we know not of. As tothe proposed impeachment of the Presi- | dent, he almost thought he ought to be impeached for leaving so many disunionists in office. Mr. Stevens, (rep.) of Pa., at the close of Mr. Ross’ Speech, rose and said he would mention the conclusion to which he had come in reference to the management of tie bill. He would not attempt to take a vote to-day, as there were seyeral gentlemen who wished to ae but he desired when the House adjourhed this e ig to have the floor, so that on Monday he could call the previous question. Before doing so he would invite the gentieman from Ohio (Mr. Ashley) to withdraw bis sub- | stitute, and wouid also invite his colleague (Mr. Bingham) to withdraw his motion to refer to the joint Committe on Reconstruction, and then the bill could be discussed } and amended under the five minutes’ rule as if in Com- | mittee of the Whole, Mr. Asmixy, (rep.) of Ohio, hoped the motion to re- | Commit would not be adopted. That would be a declar- ation on tbe part of the House that no action might be expected during the remainder of the Congress on the great question of reconsiruction. He accepted the sug- gestion of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and now withdrew bis substitute, and he would sustain the mo- tion that the bill be consider d in the House under the five minutes’ rule, so that it might be perfected and sent to the Senate within the next two or three days, allow- ing ten days within whch the bill, if vetoed, might be reconsidered. There were but twenty working days left | Of the session. Mr, ConKiiG, (rep.) of N. ¥., asked Mr. Ashley what objection there was to baving the bill committed to a committee which was familiar with the subject, and which nad a right to report at any time. Mr. Asuizy rephed that the Reconstruction Committee | had had no meeting this session, although several bills | had been referred to it, and to send this bill to this com- mittee would be sending it to its grave. Mr. CoyKLine said be thought that was a poor answer, coming from a source so distinguished and from a gen- tleman so ingenuous. He hoped the gentleman from Objo would not withdraw his motion to commit the bill, and that the majority of the House would commit it. ir, Stevens called attention to the fact that the bill to which his was a substitute had been the Reconstruction Committee, and the House, if it pre- | ferred the original bill to tho substitute, could so vote, | That comtmitiee bad had several bills referred to it this ! session, and he asked Mr, Conkling why it had not acted’ on 3 Mr, Coxxumxe replied that if he were chairman of the Committee on the part of the House he could probably answer the question; but as he was only a subordinate member of re yey bound to come when ordered, and having no right to cali others, he could not answer it, a ter at the expense of Stevens, who is such chair- man. Mr, Asmiey said as he believed that the Committee on Reconstruction would not be able to agree on a bill he should vote against the reference of the bill. He pro- ceeded to arcue on the general principles of the bill, and m the course of nis remarks spoke of the Président of the Uni tates as having become the leader of a nega- | tive rebellion us hostile as dangerous to the Unied | ‘States us an armed open rebellion would be if he were at the head of it, |, -Mr, Breck, (dem.) of Ohio, asked his colleague whether ‘the Republican party in Congress bad agreed upon any definite plan of reconstruction. ‘Mr. Asaiey replied that so far as he knew it had not. Mr. Hise, (dem.) of Ky., inquired whether the id Mr. Ashley was that none but those vhom he his party dociared loyal, to wit, the negroes and interlopers | In the Southern States, were to be admitted to re and that the great body of the people were to be dis- ea lied that the great body of the peopl ir. AsutEy replied that the le there bad the forgivenees of the conqueror. In the con- stitutioual amendment there were only certain parties excluded from holding office. He asked whether the gentleman from Kentucky would favor the admission of those State senators and representatives who had aban- | doned their seats im Congress to join the rebellion. | Mr, Hisg argued that afver they had laid down their arms the people of the rebel States came in under the amnesty, entitled to all their rights as citizens. Jur. AsHLsy said that the position of the gentleman and his party was, that Jef! Davis or any other leader of ‘tne rebellion could come here and take seats in thie honored ball. He (Mr. Ashley) cared not how few loyal ‘men there were in a State, whether biack or white, the Dation would be era wf it turned ite back on those who had been its friends, Mr. Canter, (dem.) of N. Y., asked whether if no Joyal people but negroes were found in a State, he would bs that State government based on negro votes jone. Mr. Asnuzy—The genticman asks a question which he knows very well— Mr. Caanten—(Venturing to finish the sentence)— You cannot answer. (Laughter). Mr. Asutsy—(Finishing it in his own way)—Has no Practical eftect. Mr, Cnaxtxr—You cannot answer. You daro not answer. | Mr. Aruixy—Yes I ean, Mr. Coaxner—Then give the answer, yes or no, and do not stand faltering about (Laughter). Mr. Asutey—When the gentleman from New York talks about my not daring to answer, he seems to talk about what he knows nothing about. Mr. Caaxter—Then give us the answer and that will settic the question. Mr. Aseixy—Take your seat and Iwill give the an- swer. If there is «single State in the American Union in which there is not a man except black men I Would clothe them with the right of franchise and every Peas under this government. (Applause on the floor and in the galiories, with corse Ninen) In con- tinuavon of his argument he said he would not vote to- day to admit Horace Greeley as a member from South Carolina, or any other man, however ‘al, until the State was restored to ite with the governinent of the United States, Mr. Evpxivcs, (dem.) of Wis., inquired jocularly ‘which Horace Greeley he meant, the South Carolina one or the New Yorl: one. Mr, Asutxy—Either, sir, for that matter. In continu ation of his remarks he said the assumption, the brazen faced assumption of men here who during the entire ‘war were in secret alhance with the rebels, coming here now and joining hands with the apostate at the other end of the avenue, who is the leader, the recognized leader of a counter revolution or negative rebellion, as I said a while ago, passes com: n, Alter Mr. Ashiey sat down Mr. Wrvrimxn, (dem.) of N.

Mr. Asntry—I intended to refer to the great body of the men on ition to every man who was Vea ete to who discourag: setitmente, wi s ed, ainst the ment. ett TeLD—I dosire to know whether the gentle- man from Ohio intends to charge that there were men who were in secret alliance with the enemy during the from general ee from the votes of gentle. men who were in opposition during the war, ‘‘not an- other man and not another dollar,”’ and from ‘hes made by gentlemen on that side of the h Ihave no doubt that some of them are here and have been here mn the entire Tew .

Mr. Le BLOND, res" ing, asked the House which was the most offenr' ‘the language used by the gentleman from Nev, ‘york, Mr. Hunter, or that used by bis col- leagué, tir, Ashley? The latter was languago which no Aeerican citizen willing to advocate the laws and con- Siliution wonld listen to, (Applause on the floor and in the galleries. ) « Tue Srzakger lectured the spectators who had violated the rules by manifestations of applause. Mr. Nrotack, (dem.) of Ind., intimated, in an under tone, that this time the applause was on the democratic side, and hence the Speaker's rebuke to the galleries. The Sveaker overheard the remark, and intimated that it was unjust and uncalled*for, Mr, Nrsiack made due apology. Mr. Hitt asked for the reading of the report of Messrs. Ashley's and Winfield’s remarks. They were reproduced by the re] Clerk, and then the House lution of censure, Mr. Hau, (rep.) of N. ¥., asked to be excused from voting, saying that he could not vote ‘no’? without seeming to admit that anything would justify a member iving the lie, nor for it without seeming to justify the guage of the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ashley), Which he certainly did not. He was not excused. The vote was taken and resulted yeas 84, nays 34. Mr. Hunter was called upon to receive the censure of the House, He came to the inner line of seata,and was there addressed by the Speaker, saying:—Mr. Hunter, no deliberative body can rve 118 own self-respect or command the respect of its constituents that tolerates the use of offensive language condemned by gentlemen everywhere, as well as by parliamentary Jaw, for havi! tran: the rules of the House.

I have been a member of the House eight years, and never be-, fore uttered a word for which I was called to order. or which was regarded as improper. I intended to apply no upparliamentary or personally offensive lan, uage. intended my remarks to apply to gentlemen who, here or elsewhere, during the war and since, wer? in secret alliance with the opposition; who had voted against sup- plying a man ora dollar for the war; who discouraged eulistment and encouraged desertion, and who organized conspiracies to overthrow the government, I intended my remarks to apply to no other persons. ‘This ended the proceedings and the day’s session, and the House, at twenty minutes before five o'clock, ad- journed. RELIEF FOR THE CRETANS. Large Meeting at Cooper Institute—Addresses by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Hitchcock aud Others—Resolutions Adopted., Having just perfected an organization for the relis¢ of suffering families in the South, the citizens of this city evinced by the demonstration at Cooper Ynstitute last evening that their sympathy and generosity are mot confined to the destitute within our own borders. The outrages inflicted on the Cretans by their intidel oppres- sors; the murder, pillage and spoliation which have marked the recent efforts of the Turks against the Can- diotes, and the devotion to Christianity and liberty which characterizes the latter, together with the remem- bered achievements of their race in past centuries, are evidently not without consideration in the minds of American citizens Their ancient renown and their living literature and art have ever maintained asteady interest in the Greeks. It is not surprising, therefore, that, following the precedent of 1824, promi- nent citizens have endeavored to raise funds to aid the suffering Cretans, especially the women and children, many of whom, widowed and fatherless, are refugees 'n the neighboring islands of Greece, or on the continent, without any adequate means of subsistence. A large number of the most influential citizens of New York attended the meeting last evening, which was graced also by the presence of many ladies. The rear and front of the stage were tastefully adorned with American fage ‘The méeting was called to orer at eight o'clock, when Mayor Hoffman was appointed chairman. REMARKS OF MAYOR HOFFMAN, Mayor Horrmas, on taking the chair, said it was not expected for him to make a speech; but he took pleas- ure in presiding at such a meeting, and would do all he could to aid the Cretans. Charity ought to begin at home, but it ought not toend there. (Applause.) If he thought the aid proposed to be given would injure suffering im our own cotintry he would not bave been present. But one good deed begets another. Whether or not the Cretans succeed in their revolution was not to be considered now, nor, would he speak of Grecian art or literature, but simply ‘of the starving women and | cbildren in the mountains of Crete or as refugees in | neighboring lands. Every assistance sent theso people rter and read by the led to vote on the reso- ‘of | would be gratefully received, and would be looked upon by God as a worthy benevolence, REMARKS OF REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER. The cha'rman then introduced Rev. Henry Ward Beecher as the first speaker, the audience greeting his appearance with ed rounds of applause, which subsiding, he spoke substantially as follows:—It 1s wrong for any man to pray for summer and then com- Plain when it comes that it brings euch abundant har- vest, Itis wrong for us to have been praying as we have ever since we were children “Thy kingdom come,” and when with a sweep as broad, as the ‘season begins to advance, draw back’ or complain that the answers are more frequent and more abundant than we are willing to receive. We are lovers of liberty. Our sympathies go the world over with all men that seek tobe free. When that honest desire of personal, sociat and civil freedom brings them into conflicts he is no true American that ho'ds back is sympathy from all such and from their straggles. Nor is it possible for us to be true to ourselves if we contine our sympathy to a mere sentiment—a mere emotiou. It must be practical, long in its reach, powerful in its re- sults, For one I do not desire that the calls upon our public sympathy should be less frequent, for I hold that we are dietinctively men in the degree in which we are =. ing effects for others and not in the degree in which we are heaping up treasure or pleasure for ourselves, (Ap- plause). For life after all has its best pleasures in the exercise of our highest feelings. It is when we range up into our moral sensibilities, it is when we become martyrs in some sense to those feelings, an enjoyment in ourselves, It is when we vindicate our title as sons of God by doing God's work among men, that we begin to have supernal pleasures that time cannot take away. I rejo! then, in these recurring opportunities, in these ap- pouls that are made, I will not say to our chanty—I say to do our duty. For I hold that this government and our institutions, aud our civil, social and industrial his- tory have brought upon us duties that are commensu- rate with our enjoyments. God has not given to us the fruit of all the labors of in 8 gone by that we might be mggard of it, What controverry of nations bas there ever been that we have not reaped the fruit of it? What single martyr for liberty has ever died that we have not become his heir, and did not in- herit what he achieved ? Into this nation has rolled all that history has done in time past, and we claim that in this new nation, where a people, unobstructed by th: — ba cage old pooner wats oped themselves, we have reprodi among 8 the things that prop! and died with. out the sight and ive done most ive to us the results of all the world’s suffering, all battles and all iments of na- tional growths that might be of these? We are made the stewards of time and of the results of time, that when the nations of the carth, pining and sickening, needed help and medicine, we might admin- ister that which God has administered to trust—the benefits of truth and liberty, and of th ristian reli- ion, (Applause.) We are fid agents, We hold fa trust our institutions, rey, for ourselves and for our childfen; but also for all other nations, For, con- sider, if you please, that it is impossible that such an periment such @ success as ours should not be a disturbing force all the world over, ‘ou mean it or mean it not, it t is not that we arc of doctrines, though we propagate doct! It ts not that we are making crusades and attempting to unsettle foundations abroad, But we do unsettle foundations abroad and are not cru- saders, I-would not have this nation make its chief Dusiness to controvert political doctrines or to scatter litical doctrines, Thank God, we don’t need to do it, 'e need to send no a cru: Tt bas been given to us to demonsirate that there is such @ thing as yublic safety im connection with the highest Riverty. That demonstration nothing can hide trom the eyes of men. It had come confessors sought cheaplp.

(Applause.) We are saying to every nation in the world, “Trust your people and they will not betray your truet,”” (Applause.)

We got our heart and conscience from the Hebrew, the Greek gave our hea and our hands came from Rome, Literature, architeot- ure, art of every kind were the treasures that had been reecived from the Grecks. Our civilization was largely the fruit of Greece. There was scarcely a single direc tion in which we could turn in which we could not ind our obligations to the Greek mind, and we were @ pros- perous people in part because we have had the example, the philosophies and the sharp, undying stimulus of the Greek mind to stir us up to what we are.

The Greeks only ask for national unity, and is it not a small request? One millon inside the lines and another outaide ask to bo one. Cannot the Christian world afford that this may be so?
