Trumbull yesterday, to the effoct that he (Trumbull) had seen it #tated in the newspapers that the first Assistant Postmas- ter-General, Mr. Randall, had spoken of the Federal offi- cers aa the President s bread and butter. He (Doolittle) was authorized by Mr. Kandall to say thet there was 00 truth in this assertion. Mr. HOWE said be believed he was the first to make the remark to which Mr. Randall had taken exception. He (Howe) did so in & recent speech, in which he said that no man should eat the bread aud butter of the President who did not support his policy. On the evening of the day on which he made that speech, be met Mr. Randall, but that rml-mln said nothing 1o him on the sub) urning to his boarding-house, however, ho ( anote Shm: Mr. Randall asking him upon what authority be had made the mssertion. He Howe) immediately re- jed, saying that his authority was the representative of he Fifth District of Wisconsin (Mr. Sawyer). Since that time be had not heard from Mr. Randall o the subject. _ Mr. DooLITTLE then proceeded with his speech, oppos 1? the section above given new pupishment for an offense aiready committed. He objected to it as making Do distinction between those who were forced into the Rebellion and those who voluntanly entered it. It wes founded in injustice and would not and ought not to re- ceive the sanction of the Routhern Sates. It was probable that the resolution would I.«{- od, baving been agreed upon in cancus, but it seemed to bim (Doclittle) that the Benate ought to pause before involving in like punish- ment both the guilty and the innocent. There was another objection to the pending section. It annalled il the pardous and amnesties granted by the President. b authority of Congress, under an act of July 17, 1 These pardons restored those to whom they were extendeo 1o their full righta s citizens. Mr. JoRNsoN said the Supreme Court bad substantially 80 decided. Mr. Grimes said what Mr, Doolittle held was troe s to the disabilities for crime already committed. The object ot the section now pending, however, was not punishment for what was past, Eu preventive aeainst what was in the future; it being prosnmable that they who bad rebelled onee would do 0 again, uuless some precaution was taken to prevent them. r. DoouiTTiR read from the President's smnesty prociamation to show that full pardon and awn and restoration to full rights as citizens were grant it. He belicved that if the present Congress had permit- td loyal representatives from the Kouth to tuke their secate at the begiuning of the session, United States bonds would be ten per cevt b than they are now, and he believed further that if this had been doge, M ian would be out of Mexico.
