He thought the government and the ple ot the North had already done much for the foyai alists Of the South, and ought not to be expected todo more than would be reasonable or possible. Mr. Tuaver, (cop) of Nev., regretted that this bill for the relief of M Murphy seemed to be regarded by Senators as a test case, and he would vote for ita Fecommittal because he had some doubt about the menits ef tie claim; but when the general questions were presented for “his consideration—what is the duty and what should be the attitude of the govern- ment of the United States towards these people of the South who were faithful toitduring the war? he did not require the aid of Puffendorf or Grotius in order to determine it; and, however sound in law might be the proposition ot the Senator from Massachusetts (Sumner) and the other opponents of this bill, that those people were public enemies, his heart and judg- ment revolted against it, He held that every man at the South who Was faithful to the government of his country throughout the war stood in the same rela- tion to the government wiih a loyal citizen of New York or Oregon; and for the government to stigma- tuze such a man as a public enemy would be, in his opinion, refinement of cruelty. During the war he had seen the Unionists of the Sonth come out at the Sena. of the United States forces from the gorges the mountains and the caves of the earth, where ‘they had lain hidden and famishing for wepks or months rather than be false to their coun- ty. And now, if the government of that country were to stigmatize them as public enemies, would it not be false to them and false to its own solemn and repeated pledges? If that propo- sition were laid down by the government, in case of another rebeliion who could blame the people of the South if every man, woman and child should the rebels? The government had expressiy promised by its army officers to the loyalists of the South for their property taken for the use of the army. He had himself often taken such property, but his pe cinghe gy oy © had always given a voucher to the owner of the property that he should be paid for it upon establisning his loyalty, and so far as he knew this had been the universal practice of the army. It as been — by one of the opponents these that the loyal people at the South who chose to remain there during tne rebellion must be regaraed as public enemies because they sochose, But had that Senator forgotten that President Lincdin had held out spec! inducements to them to remain at home, w fei place only ten thousand loyalmen in a rebel were the Siate, and should be so recog- other argument was these le were rents. ognition of as bell nts was made with the object of protecting the lives of the Union soldiers who fell into their hands, and that the recognition went no Surther than was necessary to secure that end; and it they were belligerents in a wider sense, why @id not the sorenens treat with them for Why demand an unconditional Neither upon this nor any other ground could the Union men of the South, “the one hundred view, whatever the position of the cervalnly ty soon piter ite close, & public enemy soon But he would take the case of another citizen of —.

Mr. WasHBURNE (IIl,) said his object was to show that it was right and proper to dis} of this bill at the earliest moment in order that public business should be proceeded with, and besides, he wanted to see whether the House was w: that the large amount of money proposed to appropriatea should be made @ charge on the rnment, After further proceedings Mr. WASHBURNE moved, oars the House ordered h his motion to be on the ie. EXTENDING BOUNDARIES OF CERTAIN STATES.

He said the Senators and representa- tives from those States and the delegates from the Territories were in favor of the bill. Mr. WASHBURNE, Of IIL, said that the bill proposed to dismember Utah, and he suggested whether, be-~ fore taking final action, it would not be better to walt for the arrival of the delegate from Utah, who is detained from the House by sickness. Mr. ASHLEY said the bill did not design to inter- fere with the settled portion of Utah, bus to give the Territory to Colorado, Thus there would not be ter ritory enough in Utah to make a State. He origi- nally drew up the bill to blot out Utah, but the com- mittee @ that the Mormons should not be isturbed where they are, the provisions were altered to what they are in "the bill.

The German democrats assembled in delegate Meeting last evening at Schmenger’s Germania Hail, on Third avenue, near Eighteenth street, for the purpose of organizing for the year. It seemed that the Germans had profited something by experience, for the hall was crowded, and in fact uncom- fortably filled, and shouts and cat-calis were numerous. But all the opposition menaced was not strong enough to break into the arrange- ment as fixed. The contesting delegations of the Fifth, Eleventh, Twenty-first and Twenty-second wards were referred back to their wards, and the Seventeenth ward was fully admitted, with the threat that a rod is kept for them in the pickle unless they behave themselves.

"The Caledonia Club Ball. ‘There was a gathering of the clans last night at Apollo Hall, corner of Twenty-eighth street and Broadway. Auld Scotia was in the fleld, and to the inspiring strains of the pibroch the Malcoims, the Macgregors, the Stewarts, the Macdonalds, the Macphersons, the Argyles, the Macfarlands, the Macduffs and a dozen others gathered, and, dressed in kilts, sporrans and dirks, with their bare legs and their glittering skeindhus, all joined in the general muster. All of witch 1s in- tended to convey the idea that last night the Caledo- nia Club of New York held its twelfth annual ball at Ferrero’s Hall. For years past the Caledonia Ciub ball has been considered one of the events of the season, and its annual festival has always been looked forward to by hundreds of handsome ladies and gallant men as one of the most enjoyable affairs which are known in each year. Last night the club kept up its reputation, and the ball was certainly one of the most elegant that has ever been given. Dancing commenced about ten o'clock with a fall foor, and after that hour couples continued to arrive, s0 that shortly Cad aon hour not only was the floor of the dancing hall mee aie, but also the room which is ily used as sip r room was covered fn dancers. About midnight the scene was a very clegant one, the pic- turesque costumes of the Scotchmen, with their jaids and bonnets surmounted by nodding plumes, the charming and variegated costumes of tlle ladies, the sparkle of jewels, the bright anne 6 of eyes and the bright rays of a thousand gas jets, all conspired to make the scene one of extreme beauty. des cribe the ladies’ toilets would be an im- possibility. They were of the finest fabrics and of the ‘brightest colors, of the latest fashion and of the most approved cut; in fact, they were beautiful in texture and were fearfully and marvellousiv made. A programme of twenty- eight dances had been prepared, in which the lan- ciers, waltz, quadrilie ahd schottische were sand- wiched between Scotch reels, patronellas and bine bonnets. The lads and lassies seemed to know no such thing as being tired, but as quickly as the dram sounded for each daace the floor was covered with ro ors of terpsichorean devotees. Robert- son’s ban pplied the music, and a selection of “‘gude auld Septtish tunes” were played, which were enough to make everybody dance, 80 much suggestiveness of motion Deine contained in each of the national airs. Altogether theball was a won- derful success, both as to the Bonnie folk who comprised the company and the ‘nde’ manage- ment which was exercised in providing for them. The hall was Priya decorated with the ban- ners of the club, the arms of auld Scotia and the Stars and Stripes; but of course the Ee embellishment was the winning elegy ae and he happy countenances of the guests. sma’ hours had weei begun” ere the festivities ‘tn. tshed, and even then it was all too soon for scores of happy dancers; but everything must have an end, bins the social. jolly ball of the Caledonia Club. The various committees were under the charge of Clans- man John Crown, Chieftain George Gilluly and Chieftain John Watt, to whose executive abilities and that of the committees under thelr charge the suc- cess of the ball is mainly due, The Arion Society. Preparatory to the great masqueérade ball this society usually . holds what it calls car- nival sessions, and the frst of them took place last night at the Germania Assembly Rooms, ‘The hall was tastefully decorated and almost over- crowded. The “‘little council” had seats on a platform, over which was turning a windmill, indt- cating that what was being said below it was but idle wind. A number of original essays in rhyme and prose were recited, the speaker standing on a contrivance representing @ huge mouth, the jaws of which closed when the matter re. cited was not “taking.” Madame Birndorf was one of the guests, and she very arg illustrated her diiiculties with the Stadt thea- tre, offending no one and amusing all. The carnival gazette was then read by Mr. Buchleister, — toa mesa of the hits are worth repeating. Napoleon oe a of France, but it only sounds tg, hits no one.

Asaremarkabie thing it may be men- tioned that, others having forgotton it, Mr. John Kress offered a toast to the ladies. Baxter Hop. The tenth annual ball of the Baxter Ciub took place at the Academy of Music last night. The “greatest bal! of the season”, has been chronicled so often since the season began that it would De probably, @ very commonplace re- mark to state that the hop of the Baxter frater- nity last night was by far the grandest affair of its kind which has occurred since last winter. However, ifrichness of toilets, an unprecedented array of female beauty, a display of diamonds and parures magni- Aques which even the Americus Club could not outdo were it to do its utmost, and a crowd Cel _ post- tively crashing in numerical strength, constitute the merits of the ball of the season par tarenonon, then the Baxters last night carried off the palm. From eight o’clock in the evening till as late as eleven o'clock carriages innumerable mageroed up the streeis adjoining the Fone snee Hine adding its quota of powdered and diamond-giitter- ing beauty to intensity the brilliancy of the general whering within the bailroom. The latter no lecorations save the ladies, who in trae earnest were decoration enough for any grand occa- sion, and the only Gyo at display in the Way of ornamentation mi by the club was the words ‘Baxter Club, 1869,” which were set in jets over the stage. The gay th who pa pated in the festivities of the night e mtiy enjoyed themselves hugely; and not until the hours of “early morn” had been ushered into existence did the brilliant gathering adjourn to meet in 1870, Ball of the Lindsey Blues. The sixteenth annual ball of the Lindsey Biues, which came off last night at Irving Hall, was a re- markably brilliant and select affair. The Blues were organized in 1852 and have the honor of being one of the oldest independent military companies of the city. The decorations were remarkabiy handsome and appropriate. In the centre of the platform was a dazzling gas illumination of the device of the corps—a Maltese cross, surmounted by the Ameri- can ecagle—around which were displayed the colors of the company, while on either side littered trophies of martial weapons. Judging by ~~ number of ladies present the galiant Blues must at favorites with the fair sex.

The hop came off in the spacious drill room of the armory, corner of Centre and Grand streets, which was ali aglow with bril- ant gas jets and densely hong with the national bunting in curious festoons and other designs. The oMcers and men of the company were in full dress uniform, and numbers of gentiemen not with the regiment presented themselves in 8 less teeameae ‘ jadies, of whom there @ large representation, red, as they always do, beautiful and attractive, many of them ‘Greased in the most gorgeous and tasteful at: nena dee fore eleven o'clock the bal!
