WASHINGTON, May IA.
SENATE.-Mr. Wright presented a Pc
tition from from citizens of Indiana asking
Congress to leave off the agitation of the
negro question and attend to the business
of putting down the rebellion. He said
he believed these were the sentiments of q
large majority of the people of his State.
Our motion of Wilson of Massachusetts,
the resolution to suspend the payment of
troops actually employed in the Department
of the West was taken up. He said under
the act as reported great frauds have been
perpetrated, and the only remedy WAS to
have commissio nappointed to investigate
the claims.
After discussion, the question was laid
over.

Secretary of State for the number and

quested to inform the Senate, if compa3ble
with the public interests, concerning the
arrest in Kentucky, which was adopted
Ayes 80, noes Z.
Mr.. Powell offered an amendment to Mr..
Sumner amendment, which the Chair
said was substantially the same as the
original resolution, and was therefore not
in order.
Mr.. Powell appealed from the decision of
the Chair-Ayes "a; Nays l.
Mr.. Powell read a letter concerning an
interview by citizens of Kentucky with the
Secretary of State when he refused to give
them any information, and said he did not
care d--n for the opinion of Kentucky,
but meant to hold her in the Union &c.
The resolution as amended was adopted.
Mr.. Clark, from the Special Committee
on Confscation, reported bill.
Mr.. Trumbull offered resolution that
the President inform the Senate, if compat-
ible with the public interests, of any infor-
nation he may have of any design on the
part of any foreign power to interfere in
the contest now existing, and whether any
foreign power has made any arrangements
with the insurgents or has it in contempia-
ton to do so. Laid over.
After the consideration and amendment

out by John M, BrIggs, charging accused with
treason, in furnishing mules and horses to the
Southern CoDfederacy. Mr.. Peay gave bail In
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance before U
s. Commissioner Halliday this morning. Ao'
cordingly, st the appointed hour this forenoon
be was on band With q host Of witnesses from
St. Louis, including the District Attorney OF
that city, whom he had summoned to testify to
his character and loyalty to the Government.
II appeared in testimony that Mr.. Peay, In his
capacity Of horse trader, had fouud himself at
the breaking out Of the rebellion, in the South,
with a large lot Of mules ana horses on his
hands, come OF which be disposed of and never
got any pay therefor That as soon as practi-
cable be returned home, having sacrificed all
bis property in the South. He proved himself
to be the leading member of Union club In
St. Louis, and no suspicion Of disloya,ty had
ever been breathed against him there The
Commissioner thought the arrest had heen made
at the instance of Briggs to accomplish some
malignant feeling which he entertained against
Peay, and there being no proof whatever 10 es-
tablish the charge against accused, he was hon.
