Judge Thomas's speech against confisca-
ton in the house yesterday excites much COM
mcnt He seemed to think confiscaton to be
quite as bad as rebellion. 1t is said that three
Massachusetts members will vote against all

state most thoroughly, says that five sixths of
the legal voters are for confiscation; and fur
Their, that any Massachusetts representative
who at this time stands in the way of confisca-
ton or emancipation will never see public life

'Judge Kellogg of Illinois, who has been
reckoncd very conservative, took strong
ground in favor of confiscation. He frankly
stated that he had been home recently and had
