where they are. No oyerseer was required, the
hospitals were not filed with sick and they made
more money. But great many who had never

The RIGHT DocTRlNE.--In his speech at Ian
caster, Pa. Gen. Ross au Of Kentucky called on
the people to be so united as not to cripple tue
efforts Of soldiers in the fed, saying
" No matter what your political predictions
may be, unite to save the country, and after that
settle questions of policy. Let not your differ
ences Of opinion weaken the arms Of the brave
men who are fighting that you may be free. In
the army Of the Cumberland, in which have the
honor of commanding division, officers and
men know only the cause of their country all

EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Senate
standing committees were announced.
Mr.. Anthony, of Rhode Island, intro
duced resolutions to print 10000 copies of
the mechanical part of the Patent Office
Reports. Also 100000 copies of the Acts
and Joint Resolutions passed during the
present session.
Mr.. Bayard took the oath to support the
Constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Bayard is now entering upon his
new term of Office.
Mr.. Sumner called up the additional rule
of the Senate proposed yesterday. This
rule prescribed that the loyal oath passed
in July last shall be subscribed to by the
members of this body. A.
Mr.. Salisbury, of Delaware, moved it's
futher consideration be postponed until
tomorrow.
Mr.. Sumner replied that the statute re-
quired that every officer civil, military, or
naval should take the oath before entering
upon duties.
Mr.. Salisbury said that the oath could
not now apply, because Senators have al
ready entered upon the duties of their Of
fee, hence it was utterly impossible now
to administer it before doing so, and con-
sequently it was not applicable to this
body.
Mr. Bayard, while not rising to formally
oppose, suggested that important ques-
tons were involved as well as the consti-
tutional power to interfere with the quail
fications of either branch of Congress.
Mr.. Davis regarded the law fagitiously
unconstitutional fponDco1 n foc
Ifthey had right to administer such an
oath in one manner they had right to
administer it in another. The majority of
the Senate had great aversion to copper
head democrats, but suppose in three or
four cases these copperhead democrats
should obtain possession of the Govern
ment, including the Executive and Legis-
lative branch, and should come up with
their test oath to sustain their political
school of politics, were the gentlemen
ready to admit that these copperhead
Democrats had power to administer such
oath. Yet they would have as much
power to impose their form of oath to
protect their party ends, as the last Con-
gress had to pass this law. He trusted he
could take this oath with as clear con-
science as any man, but he held that Con-
gress had no power to pass law imposing
such an oath. He proceeded to argue
that it would he setting most Hische-
