ia ion shall not exercise the functions of hs once
unless he takes an additional oath prescribed By Con-
gTCss.

Without coming 10 a vote on the bill, on motion 0l
Mr.. FESsENDEN, the Naval Appropriation bill

Mr.. ANTHONY Rep X. l. opposed the amend
ment for the repair of the Naval School al Newport
or Annapolis AZ an indirect mode OF directing the
DEPARTMENT 10 remove the Naval School from New
mort He thought the Senate was not ready to
make such disposition Of the Naval School on such
abort notice lie referred 10 the circumstances Of
the removal Of the School from Annapolis ~ an nd
diiional reason why the Senate should no. hastily
act in this matter. The Senate should not restore
the Naval School where IL NAV be reached III any
way by traitors. The great advantage OF Newport
in harbor. climate, means OF COMMUNICATION etc,
seem TO point it on, the very place Tor the Naval
Academy. -
Mr.. TN EYCK Rep, y. j. said that he should
orpose the amendment, in order 10 have IA Commits

Mr.. KENNEDY had IA letter read, signed by q
large number Of the senior class in the Naval
Academy, IN favor OF "a return 10 Annapolis.
dir. GRIMES Rep, Iowa thought this WIS really
a question, whether We would continue naval
academy at all. We had all the buildings, library,
&c., at Annapolis. lie was not willing 70 be driven
from there by the Rebels, nor WIS he willing 10
punirh loyal men Of Maryland by taxing away tins
