ury and Interior Departments to furnish the

ernmsntI clerks statements Of all removals
made In their respective Departments since the
date of the list Of employees furnished the com
mittse some time since. !-.'''a'l,
Mr.. WICKLfFFE, of Ksniucky, was opposed
to the adoption Of the resolution. The House
Of Representatives bad svipced desire to
usurp power in the military, judicial, and ex
ecutive branches Of Governmeut, hitherto IN
psralleled. Congfess had no business to inter-
fsre with the removal, Of clerks in the Depart
ments, that business belonging exclusively 70
the heads Of those Departments but II Il was
done, the employees should have the privilege
Of appearing before the committee Of investi.
gatiaa apd clearing themselves Of the charges
against them. --
Mr.. POTTER, in bis reply, stated that thert
were five hundred men now In the Depart
men,s known to be dlsloyal, aud hundreds whD
had never expressed one word Of sympathy
with the United States Government in IL efforh
to uppress the rebellion. The committee had
never dictated the removal Of any clerk They
were simply committee Of inquiry, and could
| only lay the result Of their Investigations be-
fore The heads Of Departments. But those
officers had not done their duty. lie would
not charge them with wilful negl>c ct, as 1t war
equently impossible to decide as to the merit
| OF those whose loyalty was doubted.
Men had appeared before The committee and
made oath to their loyal sentiments, and had
presented vouchers from Senators, but when
they found their assel tions and protestations
were Of no avail with the committee, they had
left Washington, and were now to be found in
the ranks of the rebels. 1t had become even
! necessary to produce evidence of disloyalty

be none employed by the Departments against

produce the impression that Union men have
not been driven out OF Northern Missouri.
and that oil who have left ran away from

true, that there should be such universal
stampede Of debtors from Missouri this
spring, and stIll nore singular that oil these
unfortunate debtors arc Union men, with not
single secessionist amongst them.
That there are hundreds and thousands ~
Missourians who have come into our State,

border, give ample evidence. That thev
represent that they we're driven on. BY threats
