Nj WADE Rep. Ohio did not want any I'M
mimiy for other States. Ii he had the power, he
wo Id hang traitor. and brdge-burners twice over,
il they were in the loyal States.
Ms. TRUMBULL Rep, ILL., was wiliingto pun
ish traitors any here. He Only wanted 70 conhne
,he military punishment, provided for m the b TO
States where the judicial power cannot DC exeT-
cised
Mr.. WILSON rep, Mass said the Government
wanted power to move large bodies OF troops over
tho roads 1t any time and in such numbers as they
pleased. We have II large army, which must he
moved aud Il might require all he rolling stock,
&C.. Of several rail Dads at once.
Mr. WADE wac for giving the Government oil
the power il needed 10 carry on the war. III u cold

hnferl'ce.
Mr.. BROWNING Rep., III was in favor Of the
main object 81 the bill, but he had some donbts
about pnuishing operative on railroads by military
law AZ provided fox by ths bill. He simply object
ed to compelling the railroad men 10 sdDj''' thei"-
selvee 10 the rules and articles OF war.
Mr. HALE thought there was much necessity Tor
severe measures Ak last traitors in many places an

Sir. FESSENDEN hep, Mel thought, IN regard
TO many things about which Congress cgislaied, TIE
Government had power over them, aud IN much
greater degree under The war power. The Senator
from Ohio .ld that the Government already porsesses
ths power--the war power. III So whst IL the neces-
sity for this bill In his Fcesenden Judgment such
power was always incident 10 time OF war. Why,
then is II necessary 10 put this law the statute
book He thought il better TO leave the matter TO
the discretion Of d commander. lie ttessendenj
would do gll that was necessary under the elrcuIn-
siauees As 10 giving any commander power 10 shoot
any person who nteIleres against the Government, he
thought that would be dangerous power TO put on
the statlte-book There was no necessity for such ,
legislation. We lighting TO restore the Constit-
ton. Let US be careful that do no, violate IL.
We bad better Leave the war power in full force 10
be used by the Commander-in-Cbief.
Mr. WADE claimed that Congress mad the war :
power and il we LEFT il 20 the President we might y
~ well declare the President dictator and tyrant. ?
Congress, the representatives, of the people ought .
10 have control OF the war, and he never would give
mo such power. Tie Senator from Maine seemed to h
think that Congress had nothing to do bu furnish II
men aud money and then let the President do he r
plesses. :.
words in bis mouth which lie never sad. He never G
supposed Congress had not power over tue Prcsl-
