Speeches by Carl Sohurz and Others


BILL.
The tactics by which Mr.. Porter OF lndisna was
enabled to enter motion TO reconsider the vote re-
ectinc tse Emancipation bill, at the very last mo-
men, when il WAS comreent 10 90 SO under the rules
n the House are slignatized as a yankee trick
nv gentlemen from the Border States, whose hopes
,hat agitation was over were disappointed. The
Conserve-S Slavery party, in anticipation that such
motion might be made, bad kept their forces within
call throughout long session, but when Mr.. Potter
Of Wisconsin moved to adjourn, they were
thrown of their guard and proceeded 10 leave
y the Chamber. But Mr.. Potter, as if from pure
\xresy. yielded the floor TO the gentleman from
indiana to hear what he had TO say, and on perceiv-
inc that The right member from Indiana was ready,
withdrew altogether the motion 10 adjourn, which
was renewed by Mr.. Porter after be bad moved TO
reconsider and explained his position briefly This
peudng motion to reconsider being within tie control
tMr. Porter, can be called mp at any moment and
sSopted if agreeable 70 the wishes Of majority Of
the members present. As only one more vote beside
that Of Mr. Porter is required 10 be changed 10 make
ste. which viii enable Speaker Grow to achieve
reconsideration, it is confidently believed, by the
friends of tie bill that the motion viii prevail In
that case q substitute viii be offered, framed in ac
eOrdance with the views sugges ed by Mr. Porter
tO-dsy, which, instead of freeing all tie slaves Of
Rebels at once will embrace sections freeing imme-
disely upon its passage those of the same leading
classes whose property is confscated Immediately
by the House bill which has passed, and
Ilersting the slaves Of all other Rebels, as
the Coufsca,ion bill ferfes their property at
the expiration of sixty days if they 60 not
lay down their arms. 1t viii also contain clause,
similar TO section of Mr.. Biairs amendment offered
yesterday, providing for voluntary colonization In
this shape it is believed that tie bill of liberty will
receive the votes Of several Republicans who helped
defeat the Eliot bill yesterday and that it will pass
Il it does he probabilities that both /: ana the
Confscstion bin will receive the votes Of a majority
Of the Senate, and viii become law. The course
Of several members rom Vermont, whose views CO.
ipcide with those Of certain Senators who opposed
Mr. Trumbus bill, in voting for Mr.. Eliot's bill at
last renders it probable that those Senators will fol-
low their example when the question assumes the
3De shape.
Mr.. COvODE's ABSENCE.
We are glad 10 learn that it was not John Co.
vodes fault that he was not in the House to vote
Yesterday. lie went 10 Pennsylvania on Friday
on rublic business for the War Department, going
day earlier that be might be sure to be in bis seat
on Monday. He started back aoon enough, but at
Harrisburg found that the Government had seized
tie rosd and was obliged 10 remain there TIL to-day.
Mr. MAY, having been prevented from leaving Ball.
more hy the same cause may be conside ed as paired
with Gr. Coyode.
