government under the Constitution.
The PENNSYLVANIA Claim Bllwas post
poned until information can be procured
from the Second Auditor Office
Mr. Boutwell,, from the Judiciary CoXl-
mittee, reported bill to enable the pres
ent Emancipation Proclamation to be
carried into effect.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the Presidents Annual
Ne sage. Adjourned.
SENATE.-Mr. Wilson addressed the
Senate at length. In the course of his
remarks he said that the Senator from
Kentucky should remember that he was
in the Senate, and not at Kentucky
barbecue The Senate was q place for
the language of the statesman, and not
the babbling Of fool.
Mr.. Davis rose to reply to Mr.. Wilson,
and called for the reading of his resolu
tions, upon which he said the motion of
Mr.. Wilson for his expulsion was based
The Committee on Ways and Means
mates intheir hands, A great reduction
will be made in the Naval and Military
Appropriation Bill.
Wilson reported back from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, bill author
izing the appointment Of an Assistant

thority

Mr. Wilson spoke at length on his
resolution to expel Senator Davis, OF
Kentucky lie concluded by saying
how grand a thing it would be, in this
crisis Of our country, for the Senate OF
the United States 10 rise to the height 81
stern and lofty duty, and cast out one
who has dared to tell loyal people to
revolt against their Government and
take It's power into their own hands
Such an act of avengng patriotism
would fire the loyal part OF America, and
silence the mutterings of treason, and
nerve the arms of the heroes who are
battling and bleeding for the unity of the
country.
Mr. Deolittle thought it would be desir
able, before coming to vote, to hear
the Senator from Kentucky. After thai
he hoped the resolution would be re-
\ ferred to the committee

The schofieId-Missouri Embroglio.

The SchofieId- Missouri EmbrOgIiO.
New YORK, January 13. Specials
from Washington to the Tribune say that
the protest against the nomination of
Gen. Schofeld for Major General, signed
by.sixty-four members of the Missouri
Legislature, and also the protest of the
Missouri members of the House, were
laid before the Senate in executive session
of Thursday last.
The State Department has evidence
satisfactorily refuting the absurd story
recently copied by our press, from Eu-
rope, and correspondence in Paris, of
the appearance in France of Special
Commission on political mission from
the rebels and of treaty or negotiation
between the rebels and France. The
entire tone of the foreign news is i'm
proving, but new and brave difficulties
are likely to occur between Japan anu
the Western Powers.
The Senate has confirmed the follow
ing nominations: John A. Bingham OF
Ohio to be Judge Advocate with rank OF
Major for the Department of the Sus-
quehana. John Hay of Illinois, to be
Assistant Advocate General of Volun.
teers with the rank of Major. Henry T.
Moss to be Attorney of the United
States for the District of Minnesota, an(
Abraham Hanson of Wisconsin to bt
Commissioner and Consul General o
the United States to the Republic o

WASHINGTON, l3.-The Military Com

The large rise of yesterday necessari-
ly brought on heavy realizations. The
business of the day footing up some
thing like $4,000 shares of stock.
Money is decidedly easier to-day TO first
class houses. The banks are loaning to
holders, the interest bearing legal tend
err to their own advantage and that of the
borrowers.

there are rumors that Longstreet and

however, whether any assault upon
