RIcHMoND, JAM 21--In the Senate to. o.day highly
important reports from the military COMMITTEES on
the subject Of the assignment of Gen. LaWtOn to the
discharge of the duties of QuArtermastsr General
without removing Col. Myers from that position
The report covers forty pages and sets forth that
the President has continued In service number Of
officers commissioned under the Provisional govern
meut without being re nominated, after having con-
suited the Senate on that point and been advised BY
that body to the contrary. II alleges that Gen
Lawton has been dischargng the duties Of Quarter
master General without authority Of law; that he
has given no bond, and every dollar drawn from the
Treasury on his requisition is illegal The Senate
adopted resolution that Myers Is now Quarter
master General and is required by law to discharge
the duties of that Office and that Lawton Is not au-
thorized. Senate not in secret session to-day.
RIcHMoND, Jan s3.-The Senate was not in ses.
sion to-day. In the House the Impressment bil
IS amended by the Senate was taken up. This bill
was first passed by the House and has been pub
lished The first section repealed that par. Of the
impressment law which authorizes the President
and Governors Of States to appoint q Board Of
Commissioners to fix prices, and another section
specified that no impressment should be made for
the benefit of any government contractor. The
Senate struck out both Of these secions The House
this morning disagreed to these amendments. The
Senate had added section that when local appraisers
decide the amount Of produce man shah be allowed
to retain for his own use, the impreSsing officer
shall have no appeal from this decision To this the
House agreed and in this shape the bill goes back
to the Senate. The bill that all male slaves and
free negroes between 1S and 90 be held for service
to work. on fortifcatons IN hospitals as teamsters
&c, was taken up. 1t provides that while 30 en-
poyed they shall be entitled to ratons and clothing,
and pay to owners Of eleven dollars per month and
the government to pay the full value If slave
should be killed, die by disease or escape to the
enemy An amendment was offered that no free

WHERE ARE JUSTICE AND OUR RIGHTsi
Mr.. EDIroR:-Though have been Q subscriber
to your paper for several years, have never asked
space in your columns before. In the commence.
ment Of this cruel war was pnrsuaded to volun-
teer by friend who was raising . company, ,Eho
warned me Of the draft and its consequences stat
ing that if wished to could not hire substitute
when drafted So volunteered In few months
the draft was made and TO my surprise men were
allowed to Substitute. IsawhoW / had been fooled,
but quietly served out my time / was then clear
from duty being 40 years Of age but having inqur-
ed whether substitute would clear for the war,
and being told yes, hired . man 30 years Of age
and put him in. / was poor man and my friends
loaned me the funds to pay nay substitute. Con-
gress then passed the tithing law taking all had
saved to pay my debts, (and have = large family
and no male assistant) and now upon the back Of
this Congress requires me to 60 into service again.
'and does not refund my money. What justice is
there in thisf Is the law constitutionall
In the beginning of this struggle We were told
that We were fighting for our liberties and rights.
Where are they nowa Taken the wings of the
morning-fown away for ever unless we, as State
and People, rise up in majesty and protest against
such oppressive acts In few months we will
be in the bands of desPotism, therefore now coun-
sci that something be done to restore peace and
equality in the land 1t is well known We have in
service IS many men as can be fed and clothed and
they were properly consolidated and not scattered
over the country in little squads sufficient for every
defence. Why then should Congress seek to force
into the army, men, who have nearly impoverished
themselves In hiring substitutes, and who are gen:
orally engaged in making bread.stufs for the sub
sistence of the army? one-thtrd Of the men 20 into
the army one third into tue woods and one third TO-
the Yankees, will We be benehtted2 No. Can we
serve. two masters-can We obey those who neglect
the weighty matters of honor and justiceH
Mr.. Editor; IhAVe served twelve month, have
furnished substitute over 30, and when am told
that I must again buckle on my armor and go into
this cruel war, while my younger neighbors around
me are exempted without paying cent l do feel
how can help itf-that hate fully satisfied the
demands Of Just government 1 am willing to
support the government in the exercise of its leg
innate functions and in all proper efforts to accom-
plish the en1s for which it was established, but
never can with clear conscience sustain it in any
encroachments upon liberty, or upon the letter and

itself within the sphere Of is prescribed duties
will uphold it, but no longer.

T enement Houses in New York.

The New York Post thus describes tens-
ment house in that city:
at is commonly structure of rough brick,
standing upon lot twenty-five by one hun
dred feet; it Is from four to six stories high,
and is so divided internally as to contain four
families on each floor-each family eating,
drinking, sleeping, cooking, washing and fight
ing IN room eight feet by ten, and bed
room six feet by ten; unless, indeed-which
very frequently happens, says Mr.. Halliday
the family renting these two rooms takes ia
another family TO board, or subjects one room
TO one or even two other families
One of the largest of these barracks has
apartments for one hundred and twenty six
families. 1t stands on a lot fifty by two hun
dred and fifty feet, is entered at the sides
from alleys eight feet wide, and by reason of
the vicinity OF another barraek of equal hight,
the rooms are so darkened that on a cloudy
day 1t is impossible TO read or sew Ia them
without artificial light. 1t has not one room
which can in any way be thoroughly yentilat-
ed.
The vaults and sewers which are to carry
Off the filth OF the one hundred and twenty
six families, have grated openings in the al
leys, and doorways in the cellars, through
which the noisome and deadly miasmata
penetrate and poison the dank air of the

the whole vast establishment are a range OF
stalls without doors, aud accessible, not only
from the building, but even from the street.
Comfort here is out of the question:; common
decency has been rendered impossible; and
the horrible brutaliiies of the passenger ship
are day after day repeatcd-but on larger
scale. And for such hideous and necessarily
demoralzng habitations-for two rooms, in-
decency and gloom-the poor family pays
and the rich builder received. in 1859, so Mr.
Halliday says, at the rate of 'hirty;fre pen
