10 ry Senate Debate on the Vir- ginia Bill, The House Sustaining the . Administration. Exciting Discussion Over the Re- construction Question. Passage of Bingham’s Resolution for the Un- conditional Admission of Virginia. RAGE OF THE BITTER-ENDERS. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 1870. Exciting Events in the House—Discussion on the Virginia BUl—Passage of Bingham’s Resolution—Signal Defeat of the Bitter Enders. Immediately after the reading of the journal the debate on the bill to admit Virginia was resumed in the House and continued without interruption until haif-past four o'clock. There was a large mumber of speeches delivered, most of tnem dull and stuptd, traversing over the old ground of reconstruction and setting forth statements which have been pub- Mshed again and again. With all the speaking there were a number of members who were unable “to get off their pieces,” and they optained “leave toprint them.” The speeches of note were those of Bingham, Logag, S. 8. Cox and General Farns- Worth. These were all in favor of the uncondi- tional admission of the State. Cox’s speech was @ model of keen sarcasm and was listened to with great interest. gogan made some sharp thrusts at Hamilton Ward, of New York, and the latter gentleman came near losing his temper. The Vote on Bingham’s substitute was so close that the extreme republicans hoped to turn the.scale on the vote on the passage of the bill as amended. When the yeas and nays were called on the passage, how- ever, the republicans who had voted with the “bit- ter enders’’ against Bingham’s substitute deserted to the conservatives almost in a body. General Paine, of Wisconsin, who had contended so strenu- ously for the bill reported from the Reconstruction Committee, voted at last for Bingham’s substitute. ‘When the vote was announcea—yeas 143, nays 49— there was an outburst of applause from the demo- cratic side, and Bingham went around the House the hhapptest man in it. ‘The Petition of Inhabitants of British Coium- bia for Annexation. The Pall Mall Gazette having doubted the genuine- ness of the petition of tne colonists of British Co- lumbla tor independence, &c., Mr. Vincent Colfer, in a note addressed to the Washington agent of the New York Associated Press, denies that, “us charged, American politicians had anything to do with it ‘The petition was drawn up and signed by citizens of ‘Victoria without any outside intiuence whatever.” ‘The steamer Newbern, on which he was a passenger, stopped there on her way down from Alaska, and the signers requested him to hand it to Presulent Grant, which he did, At tne same time a petition was forwarded to the Queen of Engiahd, “diferent in its reasoning from the others, but of the same purport, in which they ask her Majesty if she wil! graciously permit the colony to become a portion of the United States, and pray- ing that she will cause such steps to be taken @ she in her wisdom will deem proper for the speedy transfer of the colony to the United States. A copy Of wis petition was recently submitted to the Senate of the Unitea States by Mr. Corbett, together with a resolution in furtherance of the object, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, Meeting of the Indian CommissionVineent Colyors Report. ‘The United States Indian Commiaston continues its sessions at the Interior Department. Tne mem- ber from Connecticut, Nathan Bishop, L.L. D., has reported for duty. Contradictory reports of threa- ened outbreaks and of the peaceful condition of affairs in Montana and Wyoming, were received. Governor Campbell, ef Wyoming, asked for legisia- Uon looking to the opening up of the Indian lands tn ‘he northeastern part uf Wyoming to gold pros pectors, and that the Shoshone reservation may ve curtailed so as to allow, a mining company to retain possession of a portion of tis reservation, upon which they have trespassed. Mr. Colyer read his report of his tour in Indian ‘Terrilory, New Mexico, Arizona and Alaska, and re- commended that Congress be petitioned for a code of laws defining misdemeanors in the Indian coun- Uy; that it organize a constabulary or border potice, to be made up chiefly of married men, who shall serve during good behavior, at fair p; and that the Indian agents shall have magisterial powers to pass Sentence on ana issue orders for the arrest of the guilty. The commission have arranged for a meeting with the Committees on Indian Affairs of Both houses to-morrow morning. The Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner Parker will attend, The Coal Tariff to be Retained. The Ways and Means Committee had a sharp dis- cussion to-day on the question of the tariff on bitu- minous coal. It was finally agreed, by a vote of six ‘to two, to allow the present tariif of adollar anda quarter per ton to remain. This is regarded asa vicwory for the protectionists, The free traders, however, say they can upset the committee work im the House, and the tariff men confess that they are not quive out of the woods. Ocean Teiegraphs. The Committee on Foreign Relations of the Sen- ate held their usual meeting to-day, resuming the consideration of the bill before them im relation to ocean telegraphs. The Dominican treaty will not come up untila mass of business before the com- mittee has been disposed of, sceport on the Paraguay Investigation. Next Thursday Judge Orth, chairman of the sub- commiitee of Foreign Affairs of the House, will sub- mit his report on the Paraguay investigation to the genera committee. Mr. Orth estimates that it wiil take him two hours to read the report. Reduction of Newspaper Postage. At a convention of postmasters of the principal cities of the Union, held at the Arlington House to- day, General P. H. Jones, of New York, presiding, the following was adopted:— Resolved, That during the coming week we submit in writ- ing to the Fostmaster Geueral our views upon the feasibility of @ reduction of postage upon newspaper matter when mailed by a publisher, the sume be prepaid by weight in bulk at the oliice of mailing, tue publishers being cial cop es and to enclove thelr post nts, Meeting of Steamboat Inspectors.

A petition was presented by Mr. HamLin, (rep.) of Me., for an appropriation tor the support of the destitute poor of Washington. A petition was presented by Mr. Scort, (rep.) of Pa., from the Lehigh and Schuylkill region of Penn. sylvania, setting forth that the Special Vommis- stoner of the Revenue in his report nad incorrectlp estimated the cost of the manufacture of pig troa. Mr. DRAKE, (rep.) of Mo., presented a petition in favor of the abolition of the iranking privilege. Hie declared himself not only in favor of the propo- sition, but wished to incorporate with it another reform by discontinuing the tunmens¢ publications of public documents and thereby lessening the ex- pense of the government, P BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS. A PRATT, (rep.) of Ind., from thegJudictary Com- ittee, reported favorably a bill relative to the ac- knowledgments of deeds in the District of Columbia, Mr. WiLLzy, (rep.) of W. Va., introduced a bill to abolish the franktng privilege and establish a letter carrier system in cities of 5,000 inhabitants. Referred to the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. Mr. Scorr offered a resolution requesting the Sec- retary of the Treasury to communicate to the Senate information or data upon which the Special Com- misstoner of the Revenue had. oased his statements relating to the average cos: of the manulacture of American pig iron in the valley of the Cumberland and anthracite regions of Pennsylvanta, WHISKEY SEIZURES IN CALIFORNIA, Mr. Coux, (rep.) of Cal., addressed the senate tn explanation of the joint resolutton previously in- troduced by hum, setung forth the setzure in San Francisco, last August, of 4,000 barreis of distilled spirits, sipped trom New Yurk to that port, the probability of their release by tue internal revenue authoriues in Washington upon aileged ex parte representations of the owners, and /nstracting the Comuaussioner of Internal Revenue to hold the said spifits subject to determination by the United states courts. He said that the seizure had been pro. perly made by the San Fraucisco authorities, and that the subsequent recommendations of Supervisor Fulton, deputed to examine into” wie matter, had been made upon insuMicient examination and under improper influ- ences. ‘he liquor umported and stamped as hi; wines, he said, had been shown by chemical analy- Sis to be rectified whiskey, containing coloring and saccbarine fmaiter. In justice to his constituency he felt required to interpose bis protest against the further fraudulent introduction of distilled spirits into California, to the prejudice of home produc- ticn and home industry, and to'the sole advantage of tne whiskey rings of Kentucky, Ohio and the Kast. He also criticised, as an indiguity to the commauity there, the action of the officials, Fuiton and Cowan, in thei supervision of and reports upon his own recommendation of persons to fill vacancies in the office of Collector of Internal Revenue. Insiead of discharging the duties to which they had been specially assigned, of inve:- tusating the atleged frauds of the internal Reve Department, he compiained they had shown Incompetency for @ satislactory vestigation by tue appolbtment of mcapable officers as agents for that purpose. Jnstead of instituting an investigation on the spot, 8o far as he bad learned the only result of the iy vestigation by Supervisors Fulton and Cowag, sent out by the department, and whom he styled the “Western Whiskey emissaries,” was the arrest of twosmall lads tor selling matches without a license; us, Lop. in view of the charges of fraud and to- thathad been made. He sald the small dis- rict of San Francisco had paid as mach #4 as {ee whole ten metropolitan districts of New York. He read Various correspondence on the subject of the whiskey referred tg, the value of wich smounted to a quarter of a miilion. (. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, said that while the moiter remained undecided the Commissioner labored under the smart of an implication upoa his integrity, ‘The Senator from California, actuated py & strong feeling of Stave pride, and to allow Caliior- nia to Make all the whisky that could be drank were, had prought his case here; bat that Senator must Know corn coula not be produced anywhere in the world so cheaply as in the Mississippi Valley, and, therefore, while California might produce an aracie of better quality she could not compere with the former district In pointof quantity, Hie justified the course of Commissioner Deiano,and said that upon being iufermed that a seizure had been m t Jor Ue purpose of enforcing the revenue laws, but to create obstaclés in tha way of commerce between New York and San Francisco, that wat oilicer promptly selected Mr. Fulton, @ supervisor con- nected with nis office, Whose ability was conceded, and Mr. Cowan, a gentleman of the highogt integrity, not connected therewith, to go to Sap Francisco and invoetenes the selgur ‘nesg weutiemen complicd with the duties of ett appointment, and repoijed the liquor to ba ws it purporled—ordinary whiskey, and therefore not Mabie to confiscation. Upoaone and the allegauon was that it was rectided whis- key, which was deemed by the other side question- able. He thought the term “whiskey emissaries” yplied to the internal Revenue DVejariment un- rived, and that the head of that department had charged all his obligations fully and iaitufully. THE VIRGINIA BLL. Mr. Ferry, (rep.) of Conn., said that in the light of the history of the past six months Virginia had, with the utmost good saith, 80 far as the action of i neerned, done all that er ys required, Whatever otter Senators might do he would not, by et a fe Gi violate the good faith in whico he acted mm, by imposing upon her the condtiions pret nt to restoration, she Was given to understand her restora- ton would be accomplished by complying with Uiose conditions. "The bill, as reported by the Ju- diclary Commitee, proposed to carry oui unis pledge, and he would vote lor it. He was opposed to we endament of Mr. Edmunds because of 1s aim- 10us character and the lability of its b , boleving that the present where tue G ie te % power equal to that of the e1gn nd, and a iutiitary commission Was in sion tu decide upon the qualifications of mem- ers of the Legislature, Should admonish the Senate of the necessity of great Cuution to prevent an acuse of power under Congressional legisiation. He feared lly Was Whether, as a result of war, we are to have here: great imperial republic, Nz guthority turouga the functions of the government in all parts pf the land, or whether some little semblance, at (ast, of ihe old system Of local self-government was to bo preserved, To assume that Virginia should be longer excluded because the election tn that State nad not proved as watistactory to Congress as it might have t would be unworthy Lie self-respect of the Senai Mr, HowARo, (rep.) of Mich., said the only secu. rity for Congress now was the positive enactment of an act to exclude and prohibit trom seats in the Vir- ginta Legislature all persous not entitled to them under the fourteenth amendment. He was surprised vo hear from his republican friend from Connecticut (Mr. ferry) the democratic argument that Con- a was endeavoring Lo erect an linmense inperi- alism. He considered such apprehensions mere lilu- sions, and believed there Was nothing in the condi- tion of Me oe which would justry Congress in foregoing Such precautions as the circumstances ré- quired. fle believed that State had learned the cost und penalty of the war agaist the Union; and If sue ever again reared her head in war against the na- tional authority she would not have leit to hera Toot of soi to stand upon. The amendment offered by Mr. Willey to the amendment of Mr. Edmunds was modified so as to read, ‘that before any member of the Legisia shall take or resume his seat, or apy ofl State shailenier upon the dutics oF his otic shall take and subscribe to the out prescribed m te amendment.” ‘rhe amendment was agreed to. ‘The Seaute ‘then voted upon the amendment of Mr. Edmunds as amended, which was agreed to— yeas 45, nays 13, Mr. WILSON, (rep.) of Mass., offered a further amendment, imposing certain fundamental condi- uons similar to the proposition reported by the House Reconstruction Commitice. | Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., Safa, by this propo- sition Congress would tinpose upon Virginia a per- petual prouibition from ever excluding Irom the polls any person on account of drunkenness or ina- bility to read and write, Under it that State couid not prevent drunkards, or persons of infamous character, or wholly illiterate aud incapable of sut scribing their naines to an vath ‘to true deliveranc make between the people and the prisoner at the bar,’ from sitting on juries; nor could persons of different color be separated in scuools. He suomitted whetuer the Senate was ready to actermine police regulations for Virginia, which, however obnoxious, should be perpetual. A vo'e being taken on Mr. Wlison’s amenduient, it was not agreed to—yeas 23, nays Mr. Daks, (rep.) of Mo., offered an amenament Making the admission of the State coudimonal upon slatures not hereafter passing an act pur- to rescind its action heretolore upon any itutional amendment. amendment of Mr. Drake was not agreed to— yeas 11, nays 44, dit, DRAKW moved to further amend by Het let among other conditions, that the state shall never deprive any class entitled to vote under the cousti- tution of such right. He said tits provision was in- serted In the bill for the admission of Arkansas and ail other unreconstructed States, and hoped it would be amposed in the case of Virginia, ‘The Senate then, at twenty minates fo five o'clock, took # recess till seven o'clock. Evéning Se: in. THE WOUSH BILL FOR THE ADMISSION OF VIRGINIA. Upon the expiration of the recess a message Was received from the House of Representatives tavs- pthc Laat sh whe admission of Virginia, with he information that the same had been passed Dv; that body. f ‘The bil was read informally upon the suggestion of Mr. TRUMBULL, Who remarked Unat if the Senate ‘Was noW full he would propose to substitute the bill for the measure now before the Senate, bean BRATION OF THE VIRGINIA BILL RESUMED. jonpiderauon of Mr, Dipke’s amendment was then ree ed, ane on Be role being taken it was cted—yeas 17, nays r, DRAKE submitted another amendment sub- stantially similar to that just voted upon, the differ. ence being an omnasion of words. He complained: that some of his republican conireres had cb: front and jomed with the opponents of the Congres- sional policy, for which \conment of Reimcinie the country would hold them responsible. His own Position tn regard to Virgimia was determined by his Pledge to stand by and tect the colored race of the South, by whose help the war had been nade a success, Mr. CARPENTER, (rep.) of Wis.,8ald the guarantee of the Union for ity perpetuity and ce Was In the equality of the States. He would give to Virginia’ all the rights given to Massachu- setts, and would deal with each exactly alike when they fatled to perform their duty to the Union. That should have been done when the emer- gency arose, but where was the wisdom of saying to @ State now on the threshold of the Union, ** We dis- trust you; we will not permit you to exercise tue functions of a State?’ Congress could not rob a State or its prerogatives as sgoh. Until her people could come into the Union as did the people of any other State they should not come at all. The duty of the United States to guarantee to Virginia a re- publican form of government imphed as its first idea a government ordamed and established by the peopie over which it existed, ‘The people of Virginia had held an e:ection and ratified a State constituuion, which provided. certain means for its own amendment, Now Congress proposed to make a change in that constitution in a way totally differ- ent from that in which the people have said itshould be amended. His objections to the amendment were, first, because ineilectual; second, if of etlect it altered the constitution which the people had ratified, and forced upon them a constitution which they had not ratified—an act which in the case of Kansas had been denounced by the party whose rep- resentatives now proposed Its repetition. ‘ Mr. CAMERON, (rep.) of Pa., in reply to a remark by Mr. Warner that the Senate had given evidence of its mi ity in the confirmation of General Longstreet, said that he had the confirma tion upon the principie that because he believed ‘the alliberality in the South which had manifested itself whenever occasion offered should be rebuked. He thought the Senator from Alabama would have some evidence or this ilhberality upon the exptra- tion of nis oficial term, believing, as he did, that not one of the Senators now occupying seats in this body would be re-elected. He said it was now ten o’c\Ock, and therefore inoved to adjourn, which was not agreed to—yeas 15, nays 38 Mr. CAMERON ten wade a motion to adjourn till Monday, and the question of order belng raised the Chair decided the motion to be in order, walch deci- Sion gave rise to a protracted discussion upon its propriety. 4 ‘Mr. TRUMBULL said if it could be understood the tricnds of the bill could get a vote upon it on Mon- day at four o’ciock ne would, m view of the anxiety of some Senators for an unmediate adjournment, agree to ap adjournment at this time, The Senators generally expressed their acqui- escence in the proposition, when Mr. Trumbull stated the general understanding to be that a vote will be taken at the thue appointed, without debate. ‘The Sevate then, at half-past ten o'clock, adjourned tli Monday, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIV23. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 1870. Immediately after the reading of the morning Journal the House resumed consideration of THE VIRGINIA BILL. Mr. Fitcn, (rep.) of Nev., expressed his regret that Virginia had not been admitted to political equality in the Union at the same time as Georgia. He believed that it would have been better for the country and for the republican party. He was quite convinced that no act could be done so hurtful to the republican party, 80 injurious to the best inte- rests of the whole country, and so especially damag- ing to the speedy and honest reconstruction cf the South as to exact now from Virginia any other con- ditions than those prescribed by the act of April last. The war had been waged to build up, not to demolish; to protect, not to destroy; to digenthral, not to disfranchise, If they should givé to simulated apprehensions and to the spleen of disappomted politicians such legisia- tion as was embraced in the bill in violation of the luplied compact in excess of the previous conditions and not necessary for any high purpose whateve they would not be iMdorsed by the people. Thecom- pact of April last was to the effect that if Virginia Would provide im the State constituhon for giving colored men the right to hold ofice she would be ad- mitted. She had fulfilled that condition and now it was proposed to admit her witn a fundamental con- dition that she would not change or al her con- stitution in those particulars. Did not Me gentle- men oa the republican stde of the House see that they were measurably giving away their position? that they were surrendering tne fortress to the euemy when they admitted that Virginia could change her organic law by disfranchising her col- ored citizens? He appealed to his own side of the House to be logical, if not tiaghanimous; wise, if not confiding, Why should they {i@0Te ail harass, and wrong and desirgy tit uahappy Common- wealth? What had gag done to deserve such treat- ment? She wag Stare that had given four Prosi- deri toThS republic, that had entered with hesl- tition into the conspiracy to destroy the govern~ ment, and whose people had been punished as never people had been punished for their folly and their crimes. Soawiully shorn pf raiment, despairing, she stood at the door of the Capitol meekly asking, not to shape the policy of the country, and tof the Capitol with her sons, but for the right to rule herseif and shape her own loca! laws, For himseif, he couid find no rejotciug in her humi- Nation, Hewoald not laugh at her calamity; he would not: mock when her fear cometh. Republican though he was ghe a part of his country and he would not insult her sorrow. On the contrary, he could not find words for her but those of welcome, confidence and chee e Mr. WARD, (rep.) of N. Y., a member of the Recon- struction Committee, referred to thé singular post- tion in which the bill was placed by the action of the gentleman from filinols (Mr. Farnsworth), who had been deputed by the committee as its organ to present the bill to the House. He was surprised to near the opposition made by that gentleman to the provisions imposing an oath on the State oiicers. ‘The committee had reported the biil in good faith, with the understanding that the gentieman from Iilinols should defend tt in the House. If that gentie- man could not consistently do so he should have passed tt over to some other gentleman on the com- mittee, for instance, who would have defended it and pressed 16 to & vote. Mr. FARNSWorRT, said he had per- sued in the House the course which he had intimated jn the committee that he should do—to wit, advo- cate the bill, with the exception of the provision in regard to the oath. It seemed to him that the mem- bers of the commitiee who had thus far addressed the House, except Mr. Upson, tad not advocated the bill as much as he had. When the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Paine) was addressing the House he (air. Farnsworth) had been inquired of as to which side that gentleman was on, and alter a careful exa- minatioa of his speech since he was at a loss to determine whether, the speech was in favor of the bill or against it. Mr. WARD denied all recollection of mr. Farns- Worth saying m committee that he should oppose in the ilouse the provision imposing an oath on state ollicers. He had understood him tosay that he would support the bill, aad in that understandmg he was upheld by all lus republican colleagues on the com- mittee; ognerwise the geutleman (Mr. Farnsworth) would not have had charge of the biil Individually. die (Mr. Ward) was opposed to the adinission of Vir- ginia under the Waiker government. He was op- posed to the admission of any State presenting her- self with @ republican figurehead, but with rebel backbones, heeis or head, like Senter, Jack Hamil- ton or Walker: but they were elther to take this bill or see Virginia admitted unconditionally. He, therefore, held it to be phe duty of every Union member of radical tendefleies who wished to defeat the combination of democrats and conservatives to support tis measure as the only measure that could be got, and as the only guaranty that could be secured with reference to Virginia. He had no faith in the rebels of this generation, With afew exceptions they felt but one thing, and that was the power of the government. Whlle the gov- feet had the power he would insist on enjorc- Ing tt Mr. LOGAN, (rep.) of IIL, having ten minutes al- lowed him, explained his position on the bill, He intended to vote for the amendment offered by Mr. Bingham to admit Virginia without conditions, and if he could not get that be would take the next best thing be could get for accomplishing her admission, Not because of Virginia’s statesmen or warriors, living or dead, but because the honor of the House and of the nation was pledged to her admission on the proposition presented by the gen- Ueman from Ohio. If he maade a contract with a revel he would live by 1t and stand by it. Congress had Made a contract with Virginia, knowing her peopie to be rebela; Virginia tad performed her part of the contract, and Congress was bound to perform Us part. Mr. BInGHay, (rep.) of Ohio, advocated the amend- Tent which be had offered providing for the uncon- ditional adinission of Virgima, He could not, how- ever, claim the credit of originating that amendment. It had originaily been introduced by the gentieman who how had charge of the oll (Air. Farnsworth). He appealed to the repabiican side of the Hou to remember the words under whien that party ha conquered during tye past several years of wa- matched trial in the history of the country, “Equailty before the law, both of men and States,’? was the watchword, the central thought and the idea of the repubiican party. The issue before the House involved airectly the question whether in the future tue government was to have vassal States as well as citizens. I forced to @ vole on thin question whether Virginia, the mother of States, statesinen and heroes, should be represented, in Congress, he would say:— Let the State come in, and let — those who have undertaken to put feuters om her in violation of the constitution stand responsibie for that impotent endeavor; he washed his hands of it. He reminded the House, regardless of whether he should be taunted with it, that his, amendment only reflected the recommendation of the President of the United States in his last annual message. if the conditions were Imposed then Virginia would not be admitted to her equal piace in the Union, as the President recommended and as the constitution enjomed, If the conditions were put in this bill the effect would be to drag the whole Sane belore the judiciary, and there he apprehended they would have a reckoning that would not be at all to the advantage of the republican party. He ridiculed the idga of tue second secKian wnder- ' taking to declare that the election of United States Bonaters In Virginia, without autuority of law, Was to have the same elfect as if authorized by law. He ‘was for the largest liberty to all the people under the fe did not forget the obligation of his asked the House either to admit Vir- ‘on an equal sooting with the other States or not admit her at all. He prayed the House to re- Member that the old battle cry of the republic wag “Liberty and justice"—the noble stright, the stern duty of men @nd nations. (Suppressed sppisuse) ‘Mr. FARNSWORTH, at half-past three o’lock, roge to close the debate, He gave fitteen minutes to Mr, Cox, (dem.) of N. Y., who declared that would rather vote to send Virginia back to military rule than vote to admit her under this bill, The con- ditions imposed in it would destroy the very politis, cal existence of Virginia as a State. Their object was to tie up the State forever against any altera- tion of the law made by the Constitutional Conven: tion that met in Richmond the winter of 1867-68' ‘Thus tring broke down Statehood. It was all uopro- gressive, Inoperative and utopian. It presentea the absurdity of saying that the tessellated convention of Wells, Uhandler and Underwood, with mulatto barbers sharpening their wits on their razor strops ‘and with field bands cudgelling their vrains with oxqoada, was to rule Virginia forever. The heavens might pass away, but the doings of that Convention ‘would never pass away. (Laughter.) Mr. FARNSWORTH resumed the floor and closed the debate. He said that the opposition to the condl- tions of the bill came not from Virginia, but from some members of the House who believed that they would be inoperative, and who thought 1¢ wiser to enforce the fourteenth amendment by some wise, well digested and well prepared laws that should apply to the whole country instead of singling out Virginia aud putting them in this crude manner on the tail of the kite, He referred to the notice given by Mr. Patne, at the opening of his;speech the other day, that he would criticise his course as it deserved, He had expected something very terrible; he haa supposed that the lion would roar; but that gentleman, elther because he was ol stick close to his thanuscript and forgot threat, or for some other cause, mi to do what he said, and he (Mr. Farnsworth) found out at last that it was not alion at all, but only Snug, the joiner; and the gentleman from South Carola (Mr. Whittemore) resented to the House last it a lylug, abaurd t from individuals themselves the loyal people of Vir; intended to blacken. the character of Governor Walker and defeat the efforts of those who were attempting to bring the State into the Union; - It was @ gross, black, damning libel upon Governor Walker, Mr. WHITTEMORE, (rep.) of 8. C., remarked that he woull undertake to prove; it by Governor Waiker’s law partner. Mr. FARNSWorTH replied that the man who was most energetic and’ active in getting up that mant- festo, and Whose name was Porter, had been tried and found guilty by a military commission, and had been sentenced to six mOnthe’ imprisonment, and bad nad a ball and chain attached to nis ankle for four months for disloyalty, sedition and drunken- ness. He undertook to say that but for the mi tions and efforts of a few men who, through the rehabilitation of the State, would lose their offices, Virginia would have been admitted on tne first day of this Congress, Phe debate was closed and the House proceeeed, at half-past four o’clock, to vote on the bill and amendments, The first question was on an amend- meni offered by Mr. Whittemore, providing a pen- alty for taking oath falsely, and it was agreed to— yeas 122, nays 71. The next question was on Mr, Bingham’s amend- ment as @ substitute, When the roll call was com- pleted there was great excitement on the floor, as it Was @ test question between tne opposite camps, and it was known the vote was very ciose, thyre being a majority of three on Bingham’s amendment, Finally the vote was announced as 98 to 95, ‘The following 1s the vote in detail:— Yeas—98.
