Mr. Ingersoll. successor of the late Owen
Loveioy, appeared and was qualified, and
took his seat. Fa01 S. H<.fGS n
The House passed a number of private
bills, Including one providing for the pay
ment Of the I'd Regiment of the Sd brigade,
Ohio militia volunteers, during the time
they were in the service, irrespective of ir-
regularities. ~ iz
Holman, Of Ind, offered resolution
that when the House adjourn to-day, it be
until Monday, SO that members may have
leisure to visit the wounded officers and
soldiers from their respective Congressional
districts, alleviate their sufferings and see
that they are properly cared for-agreed to
&c to 43.
Mr. Webster, of Md, from the Commit
tee of Conference on the disagreeing
amendments to the bill establishing a
territorial government for Montara, made a
report thereon, which he said struck out
the Seuates amendment giving the right OF
suffrage to colored persons and consigned
it to every free white male citizen of the
e. :. ard those who have declared their
mention to become such.
The report was coneurred in by avote Of
l02 against 26.
The Senate had already agreed to the
report. s
The House then considered the bill ap
propriating $500 for damages sustained
by Prof Armos in consequence of the burn
ing of his buildings at Annansdale, Va
Mr.. Hale explained that the property
was destroyed by our troops to prevent it
from continuing to be used by the rebels as
a lookout. He bore testimony to the 10y
atty of Prof. Armos and spoke OF bis suffer
ings in the Union cause.
Mr. Washburne opposed the bill, not be-
cause Of the amount involved, but because
il established a principle of providing Tor
all the casualties of war and which would
make drain of S50O,OOO, 900 on the
Treasury.
MIR. Stevens, Of Pa, said that it had
been settled long ago that whenever ma
tons are at war and the enemy destroys
of the other belligerent it is a mis-,
fortune and no nation pays for it excepting
as a gratuity.
Mr. Hale in advocating the bill said that
the question was not whether We were able
to pay the claim, but whether it is just and
right. The honor of the Government would
be better maintained by paying than with
holding the money.
The bill was passed by yeas 63 nays 80
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, here rose and asked leave
to introduce the following resolution:
Resolved, That the forcio'e seizure by
the Federal military authorities at N Y, of
the Offices Of the N Y World and Journal
of Commerce, and the suspension of their
papers for the innocent publication OF
forged state paper, is an act unwarranted
by the circumstances connected with SAID
an arbitrary outrage upon the
rights Of the citizens, and
deserves the reprobation of every friend OF
public liberty and private rights.
Mcssrs. Wsshburne and Farnsworth, OF
Ill.,, objected to the introduction of the
resolution.
