XXXIXm CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. £wo or three lines andclerksextended from the counter hav rom any views which he bas expresse and exp of the joint resolution would adopt it. Mr. TroMBrLL was unwilling to adopt a proposition that recognized taxation as a basis of citizenship, Ttwould not be !‘unt to adwit rich citizens to citizenship and ex- clude the poor. A]ir. HENDRICKS supported the amendment of Mr. Doo- little. Mr HOWARD said that the great objection to Mr. Doo- little’s amendment was that its effect would be to natural- ize all Indians who paid taxes. He believed, with Mr. Trumbull, that the Indian tribes were foreign powers. They were treated as such, and 8o regarded by the Con- stitition, which conferred power to treat not only with foreign ations, but with Indian tribes. Mr. DoOLITTLE said that the words proposed in his amendment were in the Civil Rights bill in a provision Similar to that which was now proposed as & constitutional amendment. The Civil Rights bili undertook to do this same thing which is now proposed here, in declaring who shail be citizens. The Committee of Fifteen, fearing that this declaration by Congress was without validity uniess a congtitutional mendment should be brought forward to euforee it, thought proper to report this amendment. Mr. FEASENDEN—] desire to say, that in all the Senator gays on this subject, in connection with the Committee of Fifteen, he is drawing u‘)nu his imagination. There is not one word of correctness 1n all he says. Mr. DooLyTTLE sid be would take jssne with Mr, Fee- senden on that point, 48 4 question of fact. Mr. GRivEs said that Mr. Doolitile’s chargo was not only an imputation upon the Committee of Fifteen, but an tation upon every Senator who voted for the Civil ts hill. 1 that they had voted for a bill which they believed to be unconstitutional. i Third Colored what they call ous to the fort w0 soldiers had e orders of the Burean or les far from being t was an imput ing “fl the Civil Rights bill were ever expressed in the Commit- uokand | tee of Fifteen, During all the discussion in the Comumit- "ot Jobn | tee the subjeet was not mentioned. 11if there are no doubts a8 to the Mr. DooLITTLE—We [ consiitutionality of the Civil Rights bill, what is the 1 ¢ for putting one of its provisious into a constita- | tional amendment? 4 Mr. PrssexpeN—That question the Senator may answer for himself.

Mr. BrouwrLL (11.) nddressed tne House, He sup- ported thoroughly and completely the report of the Recon- struction Committee, ‘The measures were Im,pflllpo* all that he or any one desired, but they were s serics measures which be thonght would materially aid in se- curing the largest attainable liberty to all the people of the country. Ounlzmlnn of Mr, ScHENCEK, the further consideration of the subject was postponed until next Monday. PAY OP THE MILITARY. The Honse then proceeded to the consideration of the next special order, it being the bill reported by Mr. Schenck, from the Committee of Military Affairs, to re- duce and exoblish the pay of offcers, and regulate the pey of the soldiers of the Army of the United States. {Ir. @ARvIELD admitted that that would make a groat iffrence, but there was no such provision in the bill. Mr. TrAVER opposed the bill. Ho held it to be mani- fost that in this country, eovering such a vast extent of territory, tho expenses of living must differ widely in dif- {:::-n! arts of the country; and that inequality had on always remedied here and in other countries by making the Government the purchaser of the Decessaries of life, and furnishing them to offcers and men as a part of their pay. The sbolition of that system would work the grossest meqnmx‘ and common sense and common justice were against the proposed change. Mr. BLAINE exposed the inequality of abolishing com- mutation of rations, showing the cost of living at Fort Bridger, where the Government had_contracted for at $90 per cord; for corn at $12 & bushel, and for flour at 75 a barrel, wnd where he said o Brigadier-General could not_support two horses and two children on his ry of $5,500, Oftieers on the Utah expedition could nof bave Tived on double their pay if they had not been allowed commutation of rations. Mr. FARQUAAR inquired whether the difficulty conld ot be obviated by allowing rations in kind at distant posts. f Mr. ScrENcr detailed at length the subject of the bill, and the operation of the present cumbsous and roundabout mode of caleulating the ‘pay and allowances of officers. o indicated several amendments which he desired to offer to thebill. 'These were to make lhew of o General $15,000 and of & Licutenant-General $10,000; to allow to ofticers in line of the present longevity ration 10 per cent additional for every five years of zontinuous and faithful service. The amendments were iucorporated in that bill. DEATH OP GEN. 8COTT. The SPEARER interrupted Mr, Thayer, to present mes- sages from the President and Senate” in_reference to the death of Lient. Gen, Seott, when Mr. Schenck expressed the hope that no other business would be done by the House to-day, except to coneur in the resolution of the Senate, directing the two Committees on Military Aflairs to report what method should be adopted by Congress to manifest its appreeiation of the high character, tried patri- gtiem and distinguisbed public services of Lieat.-Gen. ott, solution was concurred in, and then on motion of Mr. Schenck, the House, out of respect to the memory of Gen. Scott, Adjourned.

My books and papers wore freely offered for their inspection, but they were content with a summary of statistics from my monthly reports. No examipation was made of wy method of conducting the business of the Burean, nor of the condition of ita finsnces. The headquarters of the Central District, embracing nineteen counties, were not luspected, uor those of the Sub-District of Raleigh, embracing Wade and three other counties, as the fol- lowing statements of officers in charge shows: Rareion, N.

The great want of the one class was capital, of the other well paid omployment. Tho former could not cultivate his land withoat means to x-y for stock and labor. freedmen would not and could not enter into contracts to la- bor without some reasonable sssurance of fair wages. The twoclasses thus stood aloof, mutually distrustful. At the close of last tohe prospect was gloomy. It seemed to many that & (arge part of the productive laud must lie waste and that many able-bodied freedmen must live idle and dependent. ‘Whaterer the motive may have been, the effect of investing & few thousand dollars at such a time was good.
