be] a tn WASHINGTON Interesting Debate on Reconstruction in the Senate. Inif iatory Steps Looking to the Impeach- ment of a Supreme Court Judge. ‘The Rights of American Citi- zens Abroad. Able Discussion in the House on the Law of Expatriation. Wasuxeroy, Jan. 30, 1868, ll o'Olock PF, M. ‘he Supreme Court and Reconstruction. A good deal haa been said of late as to how the Judges sof the United States Supreme Court stand with regard to the all important question of the constitutionality of the various Reconstruction laws, Correspondents have classified the Judges into pros, antis and neutrals; but most of their despatches have been based upon mere rumor or guessing. There seoms to be no doubt, how- ‘ever, that Nelson, Clifford and Field are thoroughly op- posed to the Jaws in question, on the ground that they are enbrely gzainst the spirit and letter of the constitu- tion, The McArdle case, it asserted, will soon come up again in tho Supreme Court, whon Senator Trumbull, who acts as counsel for the War Department, will move to dismiss the canse for want of jurisdiction, An tn- teresting argument may be expected, Prospective Impeachment ot a Justice of the Supreme Court. Considerable excitement was created in the House this morning over a resolution introduced by Mr. Scofeld, ef Pennsylvania, reciting that an evening paper of this eity yesterday contained a statement that one of the Jastices of the Supreme Court had declared at a private gathering that the Reconstruction acts of Congress were unconstitutional, and that the court would so decide them. The resolution authorizes the J@diciary Com- mittee to examine into the matter and ascertain the trath of the statement, and if so, whether it does not constitute a misdemeanor in office sufficient to cause arti- cles of impeachment to be preferred against said Judge, No name being mentioned in the resolution, the @emo- erais endeavored to have the name of the Judge in- serted; but none of them would offer tho necessary amendment todo so, although the name of Justice Field was moutioned as the party alluded to. The de- Date was cutoff by a call for the previous question, and the resolution was adopted by a vote of 99 yeas to ‘67 nays. The Election in Alabama. So confident is tue republican party that the radical constitution to be submitted next Tuesday to the people of Alabama will be carried, and radicai Representatives ‘Wo Congress clected at the same time, that preparations are being made by the Union Congressional Comunttee to fre asaiute of one hundred guns in the vicinity of Abe Capitol. “The Tax on Whiskey and Malt Liquors, ‘Measrs. Frederick Lauer, &. Huston and G. Gerst, of Pennsylvania; H. B. Suller, of Lilinois, and pM, Klemer, of-Ohio, represcnting the Executive Committee of the: Uniied States Brewers’ Association, have arrived in this city for the purpose of effecting some desirable legislation in regard to the present;internal tax npon whiskey. ‘The delegation waited upon the Committoo on Ways.and Means of the House gnd had an interview relating principally to the proposed revi- sion of the Jatcrnal Revenue laws, They will again be heard W-morrow, when tue question of malt liquors will be more fully discussed, A memorial in possession ef the delegation states the changes iw the law which the brewer interest of we cagpiry require. They elaim-that the deauction of seyen-and a balf per cent allowed by gection fifty-two of the act of July 13, 1866, ‘wpon the sale of stamps beingman insufficient compensa- Bion for all losses intended .to be covered thereby, the same should be increased to fifteen per cent, especially as the losses under the new stamp sys- tom, proposed to be substituted for the present one, will be more numerous, in.consequence of the very nature of ine.new stunp. They earnestly urge a reduction of the duty on Canada barley to tho same figure as before the expiration of ihe reciprocity treaty—namely, five vents per busbel—for the reason that the quantity of harley crown in the United States ts insufficiont to sup- vly tho demands of the trade, and that the farmers of the United States find it more profitable to raise wheat ‘and corn than barley, whilefon the other hand the light oul @! Cavada is more adapted for the raising of bariey. Visit of the British Minister to the State De- partment. Mr. award Thornton, the newly arrived British Min- edgier, was at the State Department this morning aud bad interview with Mr. Frederick Seward, Assistant Sec- retory of State, the Secretary being absent from the Department ai the time.

OFFICES, On motion of Mr, Parrersox, (rep.) of N. H., the bill in addition to the act regulating the tenure of civil offices was taken up, He moved to amend by substi- tuting an entirely new bill. He explained ite pro- visions as dispensing with special agents heretotore ap- pointed under the acta of 1792, 1703 and 1846. Some- times, he said, being of limited number, sometimes large, and whose duties were very indefinite, they nad been made political agents, The bill would save three or four hundred thousand dollars to the Treasury di- rectly; how much more be could not say, He referred to frauds committed by connivance of those in the Revenue Department, fraying thoy had been in the service of whiskeying rather than of the government, imstaucing one who had blackmailed a citwen of Chicago to the amount of $100,000, aad who was said to have made betwecn $35,000 and $50,000 within twonty days. After discnssion by Messra, Harland and Mornll, of Vt, Mr. sumuer bad read by the Clerk a letter from the secretary of tate expressing the bope that the bill would not be applied to agents of the state Department in forelge affairs, and stating that they had been em- ployed by every adininistration since ployed Goveruor Morris on a mission to Eng! Mr, ScmNer, (rep.) of Mass, then moved to except such persons accordingly, provided they are paid out ot the contingent fond of the department, Mr. Howarp, (rep.) of Mick., asked how maay of such agents there had been for the last five years, They had been very numerous and very miachievous, He believed that this body had the honor of furnishing one of them. There was much darkness on this subject, Mr. Scmwer said the fact of their being secret agents made it impossibie tor namesto ve known, He bad heard of one McUracken, but did not know who he was or where be came from, and be therefore supposed the whole thing was 4 forgery, by which an attempt was made to discredit one of the most distinguished citizens of the republic. Mr, Corkum, (rep.) of N. Y., condemned the present system, by which not only real persous, but mytba, could be sent out, Mr. Howanp—Ghoste? (Laaghter.) Mr. Conkiixo hoped that if the system was continued only flesh and blood would be employed. Ir. ANTHONY, (rop.) of R. L, said that the whole amount of appropriation for such service was bat $30,000, and ho thought 1 had been cut down to $15,000, ied Mr. Garmas, (rep.) of Iowa, said it bad been restored to $50,090, Mr. Jonysox, (dem.) of Md., defended the service as necessary to the government, ‘Mr. Cameron, (rep.}of Pa., said this government had no secrets, and be could not imagine what such agents <= ted for, characterizing the system as a relic of ark ages. On motion of Mr. Hewnnicks, (dem.) of Ind., the fur- ther consideration was postponed, Mr. Parrexson, of N. H., gave potice that he would press for a vote to-morrow. ‘THE INTRRNATIOPAL MARITIME EXHIBITION AT HAVRE, Mr, Scmver succeeded in calling ap the resolution to authorize the Secretary of the Navy to send one or more navy officers to the Invernational Maritime Exgibition at Havre, which was again iaid aside alter debate, ‘THE MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION MILI, On motion of Mr. Hexvricks, who calied for the special order, the Supplementary Reconstruction bill was taken up, when Mr, Crain, (rep.) of N. H., took (he floor, He said the question now agitating the country was whether its destinies should remain in the hands of those wno, amid war and desolation, served the monuments of our liberties, or whi yet ent had rushed through 4 series of measures to restore the rebels to power. The recon- struction measures of Congress bad called forth the outrages aad the deflant attitude of the rebels in the South, and woald accomplish the desired result. He eulogized the speech of Mr, Morton a8 an unanswerable argument againas the position of the democratic party, And said it would be yet ranked with the first efforts of Daniel Webster. Recurring to the question of negro | Mpremacy, be ridiculed the idea of a million of the Vir- giulo chivalry acknowledging themselves whipped at th polls by half that nutaber of negroes, He then enus rated other States in which, akhough the white vote proponderates, the blacks had carried the election. If (his proved anything it proved too much for the other | ide; It proved that the negro was qualified to vote, He | quoted the tesumouy of Governor Bi of Georgia, | denying (be buwilinting pretences that he atte: doiay recoustraction. If the megroes had voved rebels noth would hi been beard ot supremacy, d the § lor from \\ isconsin have osiled then as fellow citizens. He cited | | the atterances of Beauregard, Wade Kumpton aud many otbers ia the eudeayor to catch the mogro | voto. He doubted whetuer Mr, Doolittle would vote for luis oWa amendment, hough in offering It he conceded | the whole question, for, if Congress could empower a part to vote, they could enfranchise all, It was only a | duestion of policy. He (Mr, Cragin) would impose no qualification but tuat which God lad given to each sane citizen Wot convicted of crime, He related a story of a citizen of Now Hampshire, who, at the time a property aslilication Was required for tae New Hampshire Legie- lature, akod--wied & coan with just enough property 1 | entitle bic toe seat wos elected, such property consiat- | ing partly of @ jackass, and the jackass dyiug, the man was deprived of his seat—who represented the town, | the map or (ue jackass; He then referred to the fact Hecapitulation.

It cor ferred no power on the government to make a State gov- ernment, which was the high prerogative of the people, ‘The sole province of Congress was to recognize such governments when formed. He said Mr. Morton, in quoting from 7th Howard had merely read the opinion of one judge, while the Supreme Court had pronouaced upon the question of the Executive recognizing the Staie government of Rhode Island. The char- ter government of Rhode Island was called, upon the President to interpose military power against the power of the government, which the President did, and the Court said that was conclusive upon the Court, the President having recognized that State government. He quoted from the decision of the Supreme Court in tue Mulligan case to fsupport his view, and said that President Lincoln held the same doctrine. If the view of the republican party was correct’ they should not have re-elected Mr, Lincoln, who had pocketed the Winter Davis bill, that proposed a plan of legislative re- cotstruction, and had sald be was not wiiling to bind himself toany singlo plan of reconstruction; that Con- ress should not tie his hands by any plan: ’ When Mr, ncoln was re-elected was there @ more important question before the nation than this of restoration? He had used the words ‘restoration to their practical rela- tions to tbe government of tho United States,’ What a different doctrine from that which claimed that no State government existed and that Congret won, Mr. Hen- ville, Tenn., to restore that State to its practicai relations to the Union after she had done every possible act of houtility to the United States, That convention met in 1865, and, recognizing the old constitution as binding, they added amendments and voted upon it by virtue of the sovereignty of the people over their constitution, What then did Congress doy July 21, 1866, Tennessee was admitted, and the reasons then given in the act of admission came up to condemn their present course, It recognized the old constitution and its amend- ments. Now it was claimed that Congross only had chis power, and yet Senators were on this floor elected under that coustituuon. Tennesace was, there~ fore, a legal constitutional government. Bat they said Such states might ratily constituuonal amendments, but could not elect Senators. That would not do, Aiter de- fending the consistency of democratic xonators in former votes, assailed an eourse of debate, ne quoted the description of the promising condition of afar in tho South by General Graat, as seen in the impoach- mentYestimony, and again from Mr, Morton’s speech, before quoted to the same effect. He would characierize, if it Were senatorial and courteous, the statement just made by Mr, Cragin in regard to the condition of the South, as an utter misrepresentation, Mr. Jobnson pro- ceeded to his legitimate works of restoration by the proclamation of hay 29, 1865, not claiming the night to torm State governments, but recognizis the old State governments as Congress ha recognized Tennessee; be had taken siepe to allow the peopie to restore those practical relations, ap- pointing Provisional Governors until that could be ac- complished, He defended the President only when he Uhought bim right, because he (Mr, Hendricks) claimed to bo a just man, Mr. Lincoin’s proclamations of 1863 ‘and 1864 had enunciated this policy, aad they re-elected him, It it was Sead for Mr. Lincoia, was it wrong for Mr, Johnson ¢ ‘hy, then, condemn bim for adopting Mr. Lincoln's policy, as Mr. Morton had admitted he didY He read from Governor Morton's message of 1865, characterizing Mr, Johnson's measures for restorauion ab just and benelicent; and from General Grant’s testimon: the opinion that tuat policy was identical wit) Mr. Lincoln's, It was sottled comstitue tional conventions could form ‘valid constitutions, and, therefore, the present State constituuions were valid, Tuoey bad done some of the most solemn acia of a State—they bad abolished sla oy, repudiated secession and declared the rebet debt should dd come from the persist the South out of these chanbers? Why keep the country distracted? No dis. loyal man could come here, for they had passed a law prohibiting it, What had they done but distraucuise whites and enfrauchise biacks? Moralize as they might, with all their political ambition and power, they could not take the garlands from the white aoldiers aod put them on the brows of the negroes. They won no battle, carried no point, The white soldiers carried victory from the Potomuc to the Gull. Mis object was to per- petuate their party power. He defined a republican form of government as coming from the peaple, and said such a form existed before Congress dey ten governors and subjected them to military authoriy, Abolishing juries and the habeas corpus, empower- ing commanders to take the judge from the bench aud put a tieutenant in bis stead, thorizing conventions to nx their salaries and levy @ tax on the people to pay them. He also read asa parallel the original recital of the grievances of the culoules at the hands of the King of England, Life, hberty and pro perty placed in the power of military rule was called Toconstraction and ressoration and a republican form ot government, He envied the honorable Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Doolittie) in deing so often answered. Fach answer was a concession that had not been made before. There are net many of us here, he sad; bat fow ag We are we feel that we are standing in the Ther- mopylw of our country’s liberties, He ailuded to the expression of regret by republican senators that so many had been disfranchised, and said it was an adinis- “iy vat it was wrong. ¢, Conness, (rep.) of Cal,—Perbape we do not all re- gret it. HA Mr. Hewpnicks said that perhaps Senators would like to seo all the white people siricken down aud the po put in the hands of the negro, (subdued applause in the galleries.) He went on to discuss negro supremacy, characterizing the registration as a disgusting fraud, and citing instances of otrages by the blacks of the South. He referred to Mr, aiorton’s Claim of the gress to raise up a new class of voters, of that gentlemag while rick, ‘alludiog to pine vi aah Commitive as sho#h bi lof rmab of the House Committee (Mr. Ste¥éna), ogg Teconstruction measures were extra-coustitu- 01 Mr. Feasexves, (rep) of Me., said Mr. Stevens spoke without.authority from the charman of that committee on the part of the Senate, aud he made aa observation in an under tone about men who were apt to think whea 4 had formed an opinion that everybody else with them, which being understood Mr. He ks 48 au allusion to himeeif, Mr. Fessenden disavowed any ateotion t@ make any such appication.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wasmcrox, Jan, 30, 1968, PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS--MR, MARSHALL AND GERERAL BURDRIDGE, Mr, Marsnan., (dem.) of Ill, rismg to @ personal question, sent up to the Clerk’s desk and had read a card from Major General Burbridge, published in this morning's Washington Chronicle, in reference to a speech made by Mr. Marshall in the House, characterizing General Burbridge as the “military Jeffreysof Kon- tucky.”? The card designates Mr, Marsball as a reckless and vindictive man, true to his perverse nature, and the writer says he apprehends that “there is not a heart so debased, unless it be among this man’s faithful confed- erates, a8 to delieve such a statement, and not another tongue go false as to utter it,”? This card, dir. Marshall said, demanded some little notice at bis hands, General Burbridge bad, after waiting some eight or ten days, thought fit to apply to himself the epithet of “American Jeffreys.” If in the heat of debate he should ever do injustice to any one, citizen or soldier, st would be the highest gratification of his life to repair the injury done. There were frequently men m the Union uniform who during the late war had not been governed by bigh, noble and manly principles, aud who, when they succeeded in obtaining places of power, developed some of the very worst features of human nacure, These remarks, he said, were general, and had no spe- cial or personal application at this time, fistory proved that when charges were made against such per- ‘sons they attempted too often to screen themselves from investigation by turning on those who made the changes and accusing them of being in sympathy with the ene. f the country. Yo 1aras that attempt had been je in his (Mr. Marshali’s) case he would say that if neral Burbridge had been acquainted with bis (Mr. Marshall's) bumbie history he would have knowo that the charge was utterly and entirely false. There could be no personal issue whatever be- tweon General Burbndge and himself. He (Mr. Marshall) knew nothing and.could know nothing of his (General Burbridge’s) conduct during the war; but the charge on which he had made the allusion had been made by persons of the highest respectability and re- sponsibility in Kentucky, who, he understood, were pre- pared to prove them by testimony. He hoped that Gene- ral Burbridge would be able to vindicate bimself trom these charges, which had been seriously and gravely made, bat the way to do so was Dot by the pubiication of ‘scurrilous cards’? RSPORTBD SAYINGS OF 4 RUPREME COURT JUDGE—INVESTI- GATION ORDERED, Mr. Scorreny, (rep.) of Pa, rising to » question of Privilege, offered a resolation reciting that the Wasuing- ton 9 Kepress of yesterday contained a statement that at» private gathering of gentiewen of both political parties one of the Judges of the supreme Court spoke very freely of the reconstruction measures of ress, and declared in the inos positive terms that all those jaws were unconstitutional aud that the court would be sure him suggested that it was exceedingly indiscreet to speak so positively, when he at once re; the views mm Amore emphatic manner; also reciting tuat soveral causes ugder such reconstruction measures were now ding in the Supreme Court—and directing the judiciary Committee to anquire inte the truth of the declarations contained im the sewspaper article and report whether the facts constitute such a misdemeanor in office ag requires this House to present to tie Senate articles of impeachment against such Justice of the Supreme Court, with power to examine witnesses and to repert al any ume, Srwaker asked whether there was any objection to the introduction of the resolution, Mr. Preyx, (dem.) of N. Y., rose and asked whether the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Scofield) as- ny the responsibility of stating the facts recited to true. ‘Mr. Scovircy said that of course he did not, but he hoped to tind out the truth of talsehood of tne alle- gations. ‘The Srraxex announced, aftor a pause, that the reso- lution was before the House, Mr. Jonnsox, lem.) of Cal., said he bad risen to ob- ject, but he was willing to let the resolution be offered if it designated the Judge referred to. Mr, Evorrper, dem.) of Wis., asked whether the reso- lution was before the House, The SreaKwe replied that it was. Mt. ELorivos said be had risen for the purpose of objecting to the resolution, but he had supposed the gentieman from New York (Mr. Prayn) to be making objection, After the answer to tuat gentioman’s inquiry he did make the objection. The Srrakex remarked that according to the gentle- man’s statement ne bad not objected in time, Mr. Buate, (rep.) of Me., said It had been remarked by agontleman near him that the Speaker bad waited an upusual levgth of time for an objection, and that none was made. Mr. Scoris.p remarked, in further reply to Mr. Proyn’s question, that he bad po ground for the resolution ex- cept what he had gathered from the articie recited. He believed, however, that the same statement had ap- peared in a Baltimore paper this morning, in which the name of the Judge was mentioned. He had taken it for granted that all the gentlemen on the other side would like to #ee a Justice of the Supreme Court vindicated from the aspersions of journals, He was very certain ‘that the gentieman from Calforola (Mr. Johnson) would on reflection cease to make objection. He had beard such ramors afloat as tv judges coming down from tne bench and going sometimes to places that were thought beneath them, aad retailing in advance what they in- jenaca tw do, bot he had never believed them. Now, jowever, he saw the statement in a respectable news- paper, and was quite sure that the gentlemen on the ower side would on Péflcetion concur wity Bim that the proposed inquiry should be made. Mr. Pauyw thought that before so serious # charge was made aguimet a Judge of the Supreme Court—or rather againet all the Judges, as none were named in the repplgucn—-the gentleman making it should satisly from proper inquiry that there was good ground for gttering the resolution. ~ “fr.

Mr. Scorimun—Yes, sir, I have some hope, Mr. Provx—Does t itleman mean to say that he pos peed ‘nat the report of the committee will show that tavement is not true? to vindicate the character true it was bad 5 enough. Mr. Boren, (dom.) of Pa. that any gentleman on his of the house would have oojected to th quiry if it had bees baved on anything that appeared authenive.

Mr, Boyer disclaimed any such intention; but ho meant to say that any newspaper paragraph was hardi, sufficient to base upon 1% a grave investigation, charge were trae, every ver Would adinit that ociaration alleged to lave been made by the Judge was indisereet under the circumstances, improper and unjustifiabl BLAiwe remarked that @ like paragraph was pal re Gasete, giving name of the Judge as Stephen J.

Tt actually amounted to that, for no nation could permit its citizens to be imprisoned in the United States without declaring war against them. Mr. Waxp, being allowed three minutes to express his views, said he sympathized fully with the purposes and objects of the bill, and no member would go farther than he would in favor of @ measure which would ac- complish those purposes, He was opposed, however, to vesting such very extraordinary powers in the Presi- dent. It wax giving him the power to involve at any time the nation in war. He thought that such provision should be stricken from the bill. It would then be com- plete anough, It would empower the President to make all necessary investigations and to roport the facts to Congress. That he believed tg be the condition in which the law ghould be placed. 5 Mr, Woopwarp, idem.) of Pa., being aliowed eighteen minutes to express his views on the bill, declared bim- self in favor of its main features. The only dofect be saw in it was, that itdid not provide for the expatria- tion of American citizens. He submitted that when the American government was asking other governments to provide for the expatriation of their sub- jects in bohalf of the United States it was ‘quite indispensable that the government should begin by providing for expatriation of its own citizens, To meot this defect be bad drawn a section which he proposed to offer as an amendment, ‘that whenever any citizen of the United states, either native born or natu- ralized, shail remove bis domicile to a foreign country im good faith, and with the intention of becomming a citizen or subject thereof, and who si become naturalized under the law of such country, he shall he considered a3 | abjured bis allegiance to the government of the United Siates, and all claims on the part of such govern ment on the allegiance of such citizen sball forever conse,” Mr. Banks suggested, he did yesterday, that the incorporation of such a proposition Would debar natural- jzod citizens of the right, up to this date, of claiming protection of the government. It was not necessary to proclaim the right of expatriation, for that was existant and inalienable in citizens of the United States, Mr. Woopwarp remarked that whily the Judiciary De- partment had not actually decided there was no such right as expatriation, that was the inference and the necessary intendment of its decision, and it could never be expected that foreign governments would adopt the principle of the right of expatriacion unless the United States de that right to exist in its own citi- “ifr, Wiusom, (tep.) of Towa, chairman of the Jud ir. Witson, (rep.) of Iowa, chairman of the Judici Committee, aad : Le Speaker, I have read with pred est and profit the elaborate report of the Committco on Foreign Affairs which accompanied the presentation of this bill to the House. The subject of which it treats is now of great gravity and high public coacern, It involves issues of mignty beg eae to the republic and its cizens, and we should be careful not to evade, avoid or becioud tuem by our present action, The re- port and the bill confront us not only with a grave ques. tion, but also with « very delicate one, which, while we treat of 1t with firmness, we must at the same time handle with care. We snould neither deceive ourselves ‘as to te nature of the ground upon which we place our action nor mislead those citizens whose demands for a redress of asserted wrongs have commended the pres- ent sonra pc ‘We are reap ro with a mere 0 jection, or ng a game for the votes of naturalized Guzens, Waoe' on views the present occasion through such giassos will greatiy mistake the magnitude of the proposttions of the sub- ject with which we are dealing. The stern fact that we are treating the current and imme- morial doctrine of most of nations of the earth respecting the mgbt of expatriation ehould piace us on @ higher plane of stavesmanship than that which connects merely the present aod transient effects of its action, We cannot play with the question without assuming riskw for ourselves and imposii danger on the nation, The former would be folly, ng tne latter would be in a certain senso acrime. Our steps, therefore, should be taken with caution, deliber- ation, firmuess and @ pertect appreciation of ‘the con- sequences which attend them, We may not injudici- ously rush upon the bosses of the bucklers of other ations without encountering the dangers of war. We Tay not trifle with the expostulations of our naturalized citizens without exciting a restless discontent which pe fase ee of thei an uncomfortable disturbing clement m internal policies and affairs of the nation. Be- tween these two poritions and antagonistic facts we cannot safely play a réle of dissimulation, We must deal even-bandediy with both, with a perfect under- standing that donger Nes on either bund. A straight- forward dealing with any state of facts which may confront us is statesmanship; @ dissiminating mani- wijation of them is diplomacy. With tho latter we ve nothing to do, for we are legislators. It is our business 10 dictate what the law and the policy of this nation shail LF and to do it in terms which may misiead no one, whether foreign nation or naturalized citizen, The great question before us is the right of expatriation, Does the bill wlict we are con- sidering deal fairly with this question and ina way not calculated to mislead those of our citizens who are most directly interested in its provisions? Iam going to say that in my judgment it does not, and hence it ie that I desire to direct the attention of the House to ite leadii and conirotiing secuon. fhe first section of the bill provides “what all naturalized citizens of the Uni States, while in foreign States, snail be entitled to shail receive from this goverument the eame protection and property that is accorded to native born citizens in like situation and circumstances." ‘Thus the section is direct and positive, and challenges ¢ ° ae tention and piactice ot every nation from P we bave drawn the ioreign element of oar popelad jon. It is affirmative, aggressive and boldly American in these regards, and commands respect and admiration. Let this be declared as the policy of this country and no one can mistake it, Itisa grand assault on the miser- able feudai doctrine of non-expatriation. It sounds the deep sweiliug tones of « nation whose — growth rest upon the right of expatrintion. ie the voice of potential America, reviewing the poiicies which assert the hen allegiance of a man to the pl-- o bis birth. It broathos the breath of life in'~ < of the constitution which declares tha? 4 shalt famaas bom re jomal power, an above the heads of fo tion.” Ac cea % eons ane gearea an hy migh' cheate . stopped here we jt feverently worship ite directness, boldvess and i and come it to — among the statutes of the next succeed 00 ides that | President is mont im just efforts wo secure the recogaition by vernments of the prigcipies of public taw which bave tosisted upon and maretall by the governmeat of the United States in regar@ to the rights of natural- ized citizen, This is a complete negation and tion of the preceding declaration of the section, aod destroys the affirmative and ive character of tl ‘bill, ‘tin this form, and we leave the nation ir present track in every respect, It will have no effect on the doctrine of expatriation than the ger wave of the ocean would produce on this Continent, It is ne more than a tub thrown at the ‘7 and spouting whale to arrest his attention and draw him away co his points of attack, It ie diplomacy, not legisiation, Knact this section, and you do not chango the law or the practice of this pation in the remotest degroe, will be a mere declaration that the ples of public Jaw which have beou insi upoa and maintained by the wrament of the United States in regard to the rights of mataralized citizens shall con tiaue a8 a role of conduct of this republic. This involves tue very complaint made aod urged by our naturalized citizens upon the attenuon of Bre government; bus it does not change the law or remédy ; it leaves them just whero they aro now, for this government has not insisted upon and maintained the right of expatriation. If we are to do no more than this we leave the naturalized citizon who may piace himself within the jurisdiction of bis na- tive country in the eame position in which he finds himeelf now whrn 80 circumstanced; we leave him ail of hie Presont risks and assume Ho new respone'bilities our. Selves fhe pending Dill may misiead him; it cor. tainly will not accomplish more than this; and jt I¢ to be hoped that he may escape this result, The complications attending the condition of citizenship by naturalization ar@ abundant now, and I pray you not to multiply them by enacting the provisions of the first section of this bill without amendment. The English doctrine of aliegiance is thas staved by Mr, Blackstone: — Natural allegiance t# not auch as ts due from al! men born Within the soveretgn’s dominions immediately pon their irsh; for immediately upon weir birth they are under the ite appropriate nation; bat it ie declarat: voteution of tue Crown, atthe time, too, when daring the ty they are i ie of Protecting shemeuiven.

If we turn to American text writers—to Story, Kent, Pawle and otbers—we are rewarded by a harvest of the same barren results. Hence, sir, it ie not a matter of surprise vo me that the English government should quote us our own practice and precedents; and hence that I object to the first section of this bill, If it amended its enactment will not a coloring which our action and non-action have the great question with which we are ‘This section, as it now stands, can bear ceptive fruit, which will tura to bitter ashes op of our naturalized citizens ; and am sure that no ‘House desires to reach #0 T'root conidont that. the Commiites on Foreign ent thro! fh whose chairman this bill has been have actuated by @ italy Sine Purpose, mean to assert im its broadest spat Chal they will ¢ first section, which every vestige of — o observance of the earorigs teudal doctrine of as as it is for those who are born upon our soil; and Ido ot doubt that this great and just doctrine is the exact objective point at which the Commitee on Foreign Affairs are aiming, The Englishman, Iristinan, French- man, German, Swede, Dane, Kussian, or member of any other nationality, who by naturalization in pursuance of the laws becomes an American citizen, snould know and feel by force of our position and honor that the act of naturalization 18 equivaient to our American birth; amd that wherever he may thereafter go the flag of the republic euvelops him as completely as it does the person of him who first saw the light of heaven in an American home. This is the result which I desire to reach, and I will uot willingly assent to any- thing which stops ehort of it’ It is tue true American doctrine of good faith and bonor that commands us to assent to it. The past shortcomings of our government should move us to the bigh demand of the present oc- casion, If we have been remiss in the past, we should cause the present to compevsate the future for the re- missness of governmental action. With whatever faults the past conduct of this government may be a let us by our present aciton make full atone- ment, It is high time that feudalism were drivon trom our shores and eliminated trom our jaws, and now is the time to discard it: Iregret that the rules of the House under which we are now acting will not allow me to enter upon a more elaborate discussion of the questions of which the bill treats. An eniorcement of my views by a review of ibe action of the executive, legislative and judicial depariments of this gov- ernment would have been agreeable to me, however unprofitable is may have been to tue House, | accept the situation, and close my remarks with the expression of a hope that our action upon the momentous question involved in this bill may be such as will reault ina thorough reversal of the past action of our government, and in a legistative declaration which cannot be mis- understood by foreign governments or misinterpreted by that portion of our population who bave become citizens by naturalization. Mr. Pix, (rep.) of Mo., expressed his fears thatthe bill a It at present stood was simply to keep the word of promise to our ears and break it to our hope. The effect of it would be to leave for ifths of the natural- ized citizens from Prussia suoject 10 arrest on ther return to that country, because the wilitary service there was provided by law, andevery subject a. from Prussia before having served out his legal term service would be subject to Impressment into the ser- vice on his return, Asto the retaliation clause tm the bill, he denounced it as barbarot d inbuman, Mr. Myens, (rep.) of Pa, siated that the criticisms of respect alluded to, hat the goveroment had not hitherto maintained the doctrines of the bil ‘but those doctrines had been constantly asserted were now insisted on in the form of this law. He agreed with the gentieman trom Missoar: (Mr. Pyle), ‘that the exception from provection of tnose deserting from conscription actually urdered was not sufficient, construed into a standing order of conser. ption, interence that emigration from these countries was’ de- sertion should be guarded against. ‘ibe which were made to the bill seemed ouly for tae pure pose of making it more eifectual upoo its main pro- vision, Certainly om the first seciion he believed the House would unite and would euact into aw a doctrine which uttered the sentiment of the American people. the amendments alluded to by Mr. Myers, and which were made to tue bill to-day by Mr. Banks, are as fol- lows: insisted upon and maintained” are strack out: . ‘The exception of persons entitled 10 the provi- sions of the bill is exteaded to deserters from any mili tary or naval conscription that may have been actually ordered in such state, also to persons who shall tall to make a report of property for taxation.) ‘The morning hour having expired at balf-past wwo o'clock the bill went over till the morning hour of Tues- day next, LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL.
