CONGRESS SIONAL.
XXXvI CONGRESS-FIRsr SESSION.

WASHINGTON, March l3.
HOUSE.--Mr. Washburne, of Wis, of
I fered preamble. settingfOrth that the most
shameful frauds had been perpetrsted on
the Menomonee Indians, by designing men,
reducing them to utter restitution, aud
asking for g. select committee TO inquire in
to the subject. and by what authority r.
W. Thompson has received $4,000 of their
money. These Indians have always been
on the most friendly terms with the Uni
ted States, and joined our forces in the
Black Hawk war. A few years ago they
owned nearly all of the State of Wiscon-
sin-having been defrauded out of their
lands, they had been reduced to very
small reservation
Mr. Larabee desired to offer a resolution
to amend so as to call for all the cores
pondence OF the subject. In the course of
his remarks he said, Mr.. Kershaw, who
came here in connection with those Indi-
ans, did so in direct contravention of the
WISHES w AhC -C POI AAC bhOhBnb
that the adoption of the resolution, by the
Wisconsin Legislature in one day, by
strict Republican vote. looked suspicious.
Mr.. washburne. in reply to remark of
Mr.. Larabee's, said, that the reason why
the latter had not been consulted on the
subject was because he had gone to Wis
consin to attend the Democratic State Con.
vention, expecting to be elected dele
gate to the Charleston Convention, but he
did not succeed.
Mr.. Larabee-That is falae, sir.
Mr. Washburne-I don't know anything
about it.
Mr.. Larabee-Then you should not speak
on the subject.
Mr.. Washburne-I believe. however, that
the gentleman was a candidate there, but
did not succeed.
After further proceedings the House re-
fused to suspend the rules for the intro
duction of the resolution by yeas ll3;
nays 60.
Mr.. Dawes, from the committee on elec-
tons, reported resolution that William
son coatssting the right to Sickles' seat, be
requested to serve on Sickles within three
days from the passage OF the resolution, 2
