FLIOT'S BILL PASSED SESSIONS—THE TAR- BY THE HOUSE—EVENING JEF AND LOAN BILLS IN COMMITTEE—A COLORED TREASURY CLERK—COLORADO. BY YELBGRAPH TO THE TRINONE. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. 13, 1667. In the Senate to-day the debate on the Bankr}!pt bill was interesting, but not relevant. The subject of the treatment of Uniouists, white and black, in the South, by tho late Rebels, was opened up by a fow remarks from Mr. Sumner on a proposition to amend the bill by requiring voluntary bankrupts to take what is known asthe wron-clad oath. Mr. Dixon essayed to support an opposition to Mr. Sumner, not by apologizing for the reported crueltios complained of, but by denying their truth. The debate Was kept up for about two hours, and was participated in by Doolittle, Conness, Stewart, Dixon, Sumner and Wilson. At 2 the vote was taken. By the first call of the roll it stood 19 to 18, This was after all the committee rooms had been searched for Senators, and when both the friends and the encmies of the bill secmed to have mustered their full strength, Mr. Patterson rose to have his name called just as the vote was annonnced. He voted in the negative, and this tied the vote and killed the bill. Mr. Doolittle entercd the Chamber at this moment, and the friends of the bill quickly mustered him into the service. His vote gave a majority of one in’ the affirma- tive. Mr. Sprague, who had refused to vote at first, then rose and recorded his vote in the negative. So the bill was again killed. Finally Messrs. Cattell and Frelinghuysen, who had been silent thus far, rose and swelled the affirmatives to 2, while the negatives had exhausted their full strength on 20. There was still a reserve of one or two.for the affirmatives had they been required. Mr. Sumner was in the chamber, and, as a friend of the system, if not of thie bill, wonld, no doubt, have cast his vote with the ayes had it been necessary to pre- vent the defeat of the measure. The result of the roll call was finally declared by Mr. Harris, Ayes, 22; Nays, 20, and the bill was declared passed. There are several amendments which must be concurred in by the House, or in a Conference Committee, before the bill becomes a law. Several important bills were introduced in the Senate to-day, and Mr. Chandler gave notice of his intention to bring in to-morrow & bill to repeal all existing tariffs, and enact, instead of them, a bill fixing a uniform tariff of 50 per cent ad valorem on all imported goods. Mr. Sherman re- ported a bill for retiring compound interest notes with three per cent certificates of indebteduess. Mr. Wilson reported the bill for temporarily inereasi the pay of army officers, with several new s added, One of these directs officers to prohibit cor- poral pnnishment for crime. Another strikes ont the ‘word white from all Militia laws. Aunother prohibits peonage in New-Mexico and other Territories of the United States. Two hours were consumed in discus- sing the League Island Navy Yard bill, and, after the recess, the subject was resumed at the night session. The House had a very interesting session to-day. Immediately after the expiration of the morning hour, Eliot’s bill for the reconstruction of the State Government of Louisiana came up for disposal. In accordance with the agreement made by the House yesterday, Mr. Eliot was entitled to the floor, with the privilegé of calling a vote on his bill whenever be chose. During the recess betw the session of yesterday and the session of to-day, the majority of the Republican members had studied the provisions of the bill, and had consulted one another on its merits, and the action of the Republican side of the House, when the bill was taken up to-day, showed plainly it was satisfactory to them and would surely pass. When Mr. Eliot took the floor. he gave notice he would allow an hour for debate before demanding ® vote. The Democrats immediately commenced trifling, for the purpose of delaying the pas- sage of the bill Their only hope, now, in defeating important measures is to be able to delay their adoption by Congress until the time arrives when the President may kill them by refusing to sign. It is altogether a matter of physical endurance, and if Democrats wish they can start “ fillibustering” to-morrow, and continue stopping all legislation until relieved by Mr. Johnson, who can take care of all matters that oceur within ten s of the adjourn- ment. The Democrats to-day started out with the intention of killing the bill if possible, with the aid of Constitutional Amendment Republicans, and, failing in that, to delay its passage for at least a couple of days. LeBlond led off with s solemn speech about gagging and depriv- fng American citizens of the rights their fathers gave them. Eldridge, Boyer, and other Cop- perheads joined in this trifiing, and kept it up for at least half an hour, wearing out the patience of Mr. Eliot, and looking in vain foraid in their dilatory movements from the Constitutional Amendment Radicals on the Republican side of the House. Find- ing only three or four Republicans acting with them, they yielded to a compromise, which was to allow three hours debate, all of which time was to be given to Democratic members. When this was proposed, Stevens and Garfield objected, and asked for a post- ponement of the bill. This was voted down, after which about ten minutes of the utmost confusion eccurred. Stevens and Garfield were not ovposed to Eliot’s bill, but they preferred the Military Recon- struction bill, and asked that the latter might take precedence of the former. Bingham was op- posed to both Eliot’s bill aud the Military bill, excepting some particularly long amend- ments he bhad offered to the latter, and he wanted action on them alone. Raymond was opposed to the bills and the amendment, and wished the whole matter to go to a select committee. At the same time the Democrats were opposed to every- thing, except the delayingof the bill. About a dozen ‘were striving to get the floor at once, amid great confusion. The ouly audible sounds were the voices of members crying out “Mr. Speaker!” “will the gentleman from the Squancnm District yield tome “Come to order!” “Mr. Speaker, I move.” *Mr. Speaker, 'l not yield.” *Mr. Speaker what would be the effect of this motion,” and of that, and of another one, and so on. Speaker Colfax soon re- stored order, and the turbulent gentlemen were allowed to proceed in questions, Each had his plan, and would state it to Eliot, who had the privilege of tha.floor. Eliot, who evidently is possessed of mere patience than any man in the House, would, before auswering, ask the Speaker what wonld be the effect of the question. During these ten minutées, Mr. Colfax gave at least two doze decisious, and by bhis activity and his great power of managing men he soon bronght order out of chaos. He deserves great credit for the ‘able manner in which he has presided over the proceed- ings of the House sinee this knotty and perplexing question of reconstraction first came up. When'| order was restored the debate went on, Boyer leading off, followed by Kentucky Harding and Finck. When the Democrats had exhansted their allotted three hours for speechmaking, Eliot rose t close the debte, but yielded fo Nocll ot Miseofl. who spent ten minutes in disenssing the right of wopeii {o vote. When Noell's female suffrage reso- lution was killed, yesterday, members thanked a kind Providence that one bore had been got rid of ; but to-day they suffered from bim again. Shella barger, one of the authors of the bill, closed the debate in a most excellent speech advocating its provisions. When bad fin- ished, the previous question was ordered, and the Bl was put to a third reading ready for passage. At this point i occurred. A bill generally printed form, and.must be read to the House three tiuieh Betors it can be passed, and before the third Fouding ogeury it is necessasy tiat the bill sball bo he ident very Taighabl nes to the House in a engrossed. It is customary, at the third reading, to consider a bill engrossed pro forma, the engrossment not actually being done until after the bill has passed. Any member, however, can demand that the bill shall be actually engrossed when read a third time, and in case it is not, if he insists, it goes to the Speaker's table, and may not be reached again for soveral days. To-day when Eliot's bill was erdered 10 & third reading, the Clerk, according to oustom, took a printed copy of the bill, and commenced read- ing its title, when Boyer, Lo Blond, and Eldridge, secing the printed copy in the Clerk’s band, jumped to their foet and demanded the reading of the en- grossed bill. The face of everp Demoeratic member beamed with smiles, all thinking they had made abig point, and had delayed the bill at Jeast another day, but Eliot and Shellabarger had anticipated this little game of the Democracy, and had had an engrossed copy of the bill already propared, so when the Democrats made their demand, the Clerk drew from bigdesk the bill regularly engrossed. Boyer, and Eldridge, and Le Bloud took their seats, the smiles vanished from the faces of the Democracy,and the bill was passed by a vote of 113 Yeas to 48 Nays. The Republicans who voted against the bill were Bingham, Baker, Blow, Kuykendall, Latham, Ran- dall (Ky.), Thayer, and Whaley. The Republicans who were in their seats when the yote was taken but refused to vote were Raymond, Dodge, Schenck, and Hubbell of Ohio. The Republicans absent and not voting were Ames, Bundy, Brandagee, Conkling, Culver, Griswold, Hale, Hart, Hubbard of lTowa, Hubbard of New-York, McKee, Pomeroy, Trow- bridge, E. B. Washburne, and H. D.Washburn, The colleagues of Messts, Pomeroy and H. D. Washburn stated that they were absent sick, but if present would have voted for the bill. The House held an evening session to-night to dis- cnss Stevens’s military reeonstruction bill, Judge Kelly having the floor at the opening. He #poke ef- fectively and with force for an hourin favor of the bill, and in the course of his remarks cited a column Jetter from Texas in a recent number of Tie Trin- unE and asked that it be printed with his remarks. He was followed by Allicon of Iowa, who soon yiclded 20 minutes of his time to Mr. Maynard of Tennessee, who insisted that the South was in as bad condition as it was during the war; that the rebellion is alive and as strong in the number of its votaries as it was during the progress of the war, and strong in the belief that the Executive is in sympathy with it, and he strongly favored the bill. He said the SBouth had cost one President his life, and had cost ancther what was dearer than his life, ** his reputation,” Mr. Allison yielded also a portion of his time to Mr. Blaine of Maine. His speech was earnest and elo- quent. He said he would vote for the hill in its present shape, but would prefer an amendment. Ho would prefer that universal, or at least impartial, suffrage should go with the Military Police bill. He several times Mr. Ray- was interrupted by mond, who accused him of using xhetorical phrases, and there was a lively passage of words between them, wl ated considerable amusement in the galleries, Gen. Garfield epoke for 15 winutes in his usual masterly mauner, being in favor of the bill as & temparary protection. The Dem- acratic side of the House was almost completely de- serted, Mr. Noell of Missouri being the only one present willing to amuse, and recited Lix speech on the Constitution and female suffrage. The galleries were erowded in the extreme. The bill will evident- 1y pass in a day or-two. The passage of the Eliot- Shellabarger bill to-day in the House has renewed the popular spirit of Radicalism. The Ways and Means Committeo not unimpeded by bores and representatives of interests, progressed considerably with the Tarriff bill to-day. The restoration yesterday of the House rates on woolen and worsted goods seemed to settle a long vexed question, but it was in effect reopened to-day 17 the afforts of Mr. 8later of Mass,, and the old difference between the wool growers and wool wanufacturers has been revived sufficiently to threaten a contest in the Honse. If the mischief wrought to-day is not cured by explanation or concessions, many treacher- ous and hostile influences are at work to delay and defeat the bill. Th= Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to-day de- cided to report against the confirmation of Scuator Cowan as Minister. to Austria. The nomination of Gen. Dix as Minister to France was considered, but no definite conclusion was reached. There is consid- erable opposition to his confirmation, and it is very doubtful what action the Committee will take in his case. The Committee decided to report favorably on the application of Henry 8. Sanford, Minister resi- dentat Brussels, to increaso the rank of his office to a full mission. The other names before the Commit- teo for confirmation were not acted on. The Senate Finance Committee had a protracted session to-day over the Loan bill. It appeard there was considerable opposition to it from so of the leading National Banks in New-York C They maintained there was no necessity for such legisla- tion at this time, and also that there ought not to be any interference with financial matters by Congress. The Committee, however, e of opinion that it would be better to adopt this, but that in no event would they interfere with the present contraction of £4,000,000 per month. If this measare will satisfy the House and the Western members who are so loud in their demands against any further contraction, well and good. They are determined not to go be- yond this scheme. A more favorable feeling exists toward the admis- gion of Colorado since the publication this morning ofa letter from Representative Ashley, chairman of the Committee on Territories, addressed to Senator Wade, showing the validity of the Colorado State Legislature, and explaining the propriety of the dif- ference in the amendments to the Colorado and Nebragka bill, and that in both cases the coudition of admission is referred to the State Legislatures, ‘There are advices from Colorado giviug assurance of favorable action on the part of the Legislature, and of a readiness of the pgople to carry out the require- ments of equal suffrage. Sien. Thayer, one of the Senators elect from Ne- braska, left here to-day with a certified copy of the act for the admission of that State into the Union, This copy is to be laid before the Legislature for its action thereon, and it is supposed that the meeting of that body will take place about the 20th inst. Representatives Plants and Nicholson bave made a mivority report from the Committee on Public Ex- penditure, relative to the Williams wine case at Boston. They say that the transaction of compro- mise was not illegal, and that if any possible case could be free of the taint of corruption, this was the one. The matter was settled to the satisfaction of the Goveriiment by the payment of $100,000, one-half of which was placed in the Treasury, $25,000 was paid over to Mr. Fafwell, and $25,000 divided betweer Collectors Goodrich, Tuck, and Phelps, as the aw di rects, the solicitor of the Treasury, Mr. Jordan, r- ceiving $4,000, '1:0*1!!!
