A Joint resolution from the House, of
thanks to Gen. sherrran and his army PASSED
the Senate by an unanimous vote The
House vote on it was also unanimous and
the President promptly signed it.

diers, who having been Iaves were freed by
entering the L S. service, passed the Sen
ate by decisive vote (29 ayes, 10 noes i,

the democratic Senators
The topic of greatest interest in the House
has been the joint resolution proposing an
amendment OF the Constitution abOllshing
Slavery. This passed the Senate last session
by two-thirds vote, but failed to get a two
thirds vote in the House The vote was re-
considered and the subject postponed to this
session. The discussion on it has been amin
ated, Mr.. 1eaman, Mr.. Mallory and Mr.
Clay Of Ky, Mr.. Morrill, Of Vt, and Odell
and Ward of NewYork, Mr Voorhees, Of Ind,
and others participating in it. 1t was e1-
pected that the vote would be taken on We'd
nesday; but probably continued debate pre-
vented Though all admit that like pro-
position will be passed by the next Congress
if not by the present one, it is doubtful
whether two-thirds vote will be obtained
