than that of the lash, which had been abolished
by Congress, az every one knew. At present,
there was no way TO enforce deciplins on ship
board except through a court martial. This. in
cases Of small offences, too impracticabls
This bill had passed the Senate nearly unanI-
mously. Mr.. s. hoped that the bill might be
passed before the East India squadron sailed.
Unless II was, it would be impossible to COM
municate the fact of its passage to the squad
ron after 1t has sailed, until some twelve months
have elapsed.
The motion to suspend the rules was agreed to,
and the bill considers
Mr.. STANTON then reported the bill with an
amendment to strike out that part which reads
"and oblige the offender to wear, for any time not
exceeding ten days, badge with the word thief
thereon
The amendment was agreed TO.
Mr.. STUART, of Michigan, opposed the bill |.
and it was advocated by Messrs. STANLY, of
North Carolina. and BArLY, of Virginia.
Mr.. ORR. of South Carolina moved to lay the
bill on the table. Negatived, II to "a.
The bill was read third time, and
The question coming up on its passage 1t was
rejected--the yeas and ruys being ordered-yeas

Mr.. MILLSON, of Virginia, moved recon
sderation. He believed that some law Of the
kind was necessary, but the present bill gave too
much arbitrary power to officers, and he could not
&C sent to it..
Mr.. EVANS, OF Maryland, spoke of the mod
ern philanthropy in the community which had
defeated the bill. Such was the present lack Of
discipline in the navy, arising from the want of
sufficient laws, that he regretted having voted to
abolish corporal punishment at former session
of Congress.
Mr.. ORR opposed the bill, because it proposed
to put sailors, who have served faithfully for
twenty years, on the pension list The same
rule, If adopted in this case, should also apply TO
mechanics and others who had served the govern
ment faithfully. He believed that logging in the
navy had been too hastily abolished, and that
there disposition to force these subjects
through the House without sufficient considera-
ton. He was in favor Of well-considered law.
Mr.: VENABLE, Of North Carolina, advocated
the bill and supported the pension clause. He
would vote for l60 acres Of land for the poor old
sailor, who has served his country faithfully for
twenty years, as soon as he would for the soldier.
The man who had braved storms in defence of
his country, should receive his sympathy. Why
should not the public lands be given to the sailor
as well for railroads In the course of his re-
marks MIR. V. spoke of " old fogyism,' and said
that he was one himself As for "progress, u
there was progress downward as well as up
ward.

journed at quarter to o'clock.
