n,oeeedlngs of the House Of Representatives in
relation to this matter.
On that occasion Mr. Chapman Of Alabama Of
fered the following resolution:
- Resolved That the Committee on The judi
c,ry. 10 which was referred the case Of Leuten-
ant Hooe be required to report forthwith to this
House who ale legal witnesses under the existing
avs before courts martial 10 the navy Of the Un-
ted States and further to report who shall nere
after be examined as witnesses IN trials before
such courts"
Mr. Mitchell, the member from New York who
signalzed himself so greatly IN the negotiate n
for securing the profits ofthe public printing to
the National lntelgencer, objected. MIR Chap
man moved suspension Of the rules, and demln-
ded The yeas aud nays Z" lie was determined"
he SAID, ito press the matter home now il was
begun, and 10 bring other gentlemen TO the bull
ring." A call OF the House was ordered, and the
question then recurring on the motion to suspend
the rules for the purpose of submitting the resoIu.
ten, was decided by yeas and nays, as follows
yeas 100, nays 81.
Will not the good people Of Virginia and the
South take il for granted that heir great champ.
Ons, Messrs. Bots and TalIaero. voted with
those who were DESTROYS Of bringing the question
involved in the case Of Lieutenant IIooe, to a
speedy issue That they would press the subject
on the House, and distinguish themselves above
all others, in cause Of which they have affected
10 be the leaders, But no such thing. Among
the opponents of Mr. Chnpman's res button, side
by side, IN loving communion, we find Messrs
Bolts ard Failalerro voting with Messrs. Gates

ant liooe, he required to report who are the leg
witnesses under the existing laws before cour
martial III the nnvy Of the United States, and ia
Their report who shall hereafter be examined
witnesses in trial before such courts"
II Here the question is freely presented, and 4
issue met in the very teelh. Will not the peop
Il Of Virginia and the South, look to Messs Bot
and Talaierro as foremost in the van on this o
caslonl But they Will look in vain. They "
be found hld away among the Aboonsts :;
shTunk into more than their Usual ueness ; tn
blDked the question, they dared not oppose tn
brethren and associates the Abolonists 18th
would not eomeup TO the bull.ring."
.# II will be seen in yesterdays proceedings, g
en- IN another coumr, that MIR Chapman Of A
bama put Mr. Bolts and his Northern and Sou
ern Federal friends to another severe test.
II proposed to exclude by law the enlistment
black sailors in the navy Of the United States.
Tbs would al once exclude all negroes from
participating IN any way in sailors rights.
would exclude them from coming within the
tlsdlction Of naval courts, aud destroy the foun
ton Of the judicial decision complained Of
Mr. Bolts, MIR Slnnly, and the rest OF these $
thern liarrisones, who court Northern AboIlt
support for their Presidential candidate, dare
press the Southern principle to a practical res
They know that the Abolition party aud Il
Northern Federal allies, desire that black sa
