Mr.. johnson, Of Md, spoke on the ques-
ton Of the adoption Of the new oath as q
rule Of the Senate, and opposing it as un.
constitutional. In the course Of his re-
marks he said the people Of the South
when the military power Of the rebellion
was subdued, would again come into the
Union under the Presidents Amnesty Pro-
clamstion. He opposed placing the ne
gro on politibsl equality as greater
evil to the slave than to the master, and q
political degradation Of the white unne-
oessary to the crushing Of the rebellion.
The day was fast approaching, if the
power Of the Government was exerted as
it ought to be, when the military power Of
the Rebellion would be crushed, and the
people Of the South would share in heart
as well as in deed, the blessings Of re-
stored Union.
Mr.. Howard favored the adoption Of the
oath, arguing that without the fidelity re-

The amendment Of Mr.. Powell was reject
ed by vote Of 26 to II.
The Senate then adjourned to Monday.
--.s HOUSE.
Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey, opposed the
pending resolution, contending that es-
tates could not be forfeited beyond the
lifetime Of the offender, and the measure
now proposed was clearly against the Con-
stitution.
RWithout taking in question the Conhsca-
tion Bill, the House went into.a Committee
Of the Whole on the smendstory excise
law.
s@z,An amendment was adopted taxing all
cotton in the hands ofmsnufscturers, here
tofOre exempted, st two cents per pound.
Mr.. Brooks Of New York, moved to
strike out the drawback of two cents per
pound in all cases, where the duty i'm
posed by this act upon the cotton used in
manufacture shall be satisfactorily shown
to have been previously paid.
Msssrs. Brooks, voorhees,, Harrington
and J. C. Allen, advocated the smend-
ment regarding such drawback ss bounty
to manufacturers at the expense of the
agricultural interest.
Messrs. Morrill, and Dawes replied,
showing that New England pays its fair
proportion Of taxation on its prndnets and
industry.
Mr.. Wsshburne Of Illinois, said that
whatever complaints might be uttered in
Mr.. Voorhies district in Indiana, as to
the operation Of revenue laws, there was
no complaint in the loyal district which
he (Wsshburn) represented. His con-
stituents were not only willing to pay the
present tax, but all additional taxes which
may have tendency to crush the rebel
lion and hang traitors. The rebellion is
to be crushed and the States brought back,
if necessary by subjugation.
Mr.. Grinnell, Of Iowa, in behalf of the
farmers, said he represented and favored
The encouragement Of manufacturers.
Mr.. Brooks amendment WAS disagreed
to.
An amendment was adopted that all
spirits imported prior to the passage Of
the Act shall psy an additional dnty of
6fty cents.
The bill as amended was reported to the
House, when it, and substitute offered by
Mr.. Stevens, were ordered to be printed.

u runersd e1acuation Of Rlchnond ]

The rumored evacuation Of Richmond is
scarcely 10 be credited at this time.
Though it comes frem what seems to be
good authority, we cannot think it has
been already accomplished NOtWitbstand-
ing there have been evidences Of the ne
eessity for such evaeustiOn, we had con-
cludsd that it would takeplace little later
in the season. Generel Lee undoubtedly
sees that most formidable advance against
Richmond, BY at least two different routes,
will take place as soon as the spring cam
paign can be opened. II be hopes to with
stand the progress Of Grant his Richmond
army must be weakened, and if greatly
weakened must become prey to Generals
Meade and Butler.
WsloOl, therefore for speedy evacua-
tiOn Of Richmond, but not quite now. The
telegraph may, however, tell another tale
before this opinion is in type. "a
