CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, January %.
HOUSE.

To-day was specially set apart for speech
making on the proposed anti slavery Con-
stitutional amendment. About thirty menu
bers only were present.
Mr.. Ashley said it was his intention to
press vote on Tuesday.
Mr.. Higbee advocated the amendment,
and noticing the objections, said the State
which subscribed to the Constitution sub
scribed to the manner in which all amend
ments are to be made, and that slavery is
not reserved to the State. The Constitution
was established to promote the blessings of
liberty and insure domestic tranquility, but
their ends cannot be accomplished until we
abolish slavery, which is the element of dis
cord and evil, not only in, but also outside
OF the States where it exists, and will so
continue as long as it remains; therefore it
should be abolished, and there was no time
more expedient and proper than now, to
take measures for that purpose.
Mr.. Finck, of Ohio, said this was not a
question as to whether slavery was right or
wrong. 1t was not question whether it
ought to be continued or abolished. But
the question was higher, namely: Whether
this Congress, three-fourths of the States
ratifying its action, may invade the rights
of States and destroy the balance of power
so wisely adjusted by the trainers of the
invade the rights of States by engrafting a
new power in the Constitution. He said
the Republican party can exist only by
changing the fundamental law, as it was
incompetent to govern the country under
the Constitution as it now exists.
Mr.. Washburne, of Ill, desired to state a
fact to the House. That in the Illinois
Senate only five of the twenty-one Demo-
cratic members recently voted against a
resolution instructing the Senators from
that State to vote for the constitutional
amendment. That the leading speech in
the Illinois Senate was made by Mcconnell,
one of the oldest and ablest Democrats in
the State, and known as the Democratic
WAR Horse" of Illinois. Other Demo-
cratic Senators spoke and voted for the res
olutions of instructions, among them Lind
say of Peoria, and Scofeld, of Hancock
county, ana brother of the distinguished
member from Pennsylvania in this House
of the same name.
Mr.. Patterson favored the amendment.
Mr.French made speech against it. Others
advocated the amendment.
At o'clock the House adjourned.

coURT-MARTIAL.
Trial of Provost Marshal Mills Con.
tinued = Examination of Two
Witnesses for the GOvcrn-
ment, Etc., Etc.

The General Court-Martial met In the
Buckeye Block on Saturday morning, pur-
suant to adjournment-all the members be-
ing present.
G. II. Heckler, witness called by the
Government was a substitute broker in
Dayton and had followed that business for
over a year. He and his partner, Lambert
Woodruff, made Capt. Mills present OF a
hundred dollars. Committees to fill quotas
would call on Capt. Mills and ask him who
was the best hand to procure recruits. He
would refer them to witness and his
partner Ore day they-witness and
partner-made more money than they
thought they ought to, and concluded
to make Capt. Mills present for his
kindness to them. They took hundred
dollars to him, ard though he requested 1t,
they refused to take it back. 1t was, how
ever, paid back to them some time, as the
witness thought, in September last.
Richard Chambers, also a Government
witness, was a substitute broker in Dayton
about year ago, and Especial Agent of the
Government. While he was such Agent
son of Capt. Mills, took contracts to fill
the quotas of several townships of Mont
gomery county. The money was deposit
ed in the Second National Bank and the
Exchange Bank of Dayton. Capt. Mills
was their surety. The profits Of the busi-
ness were equally divided between the three
partners and Capt. Mills, each receiving
one-fourth of the. whole. They sometimes
made Captain Mills clerks compensa-
tion for making out papers. Once
witness paid Truman Mills, son of Captain
Mills. three dollars for making out mus
ter-roll one night after Office hours. Tru-
man did not like to take it, but witness
forced it upon him. While witness was
Government agent, he had an oflice-room,
and there was sort of an agreement be-
tween him and Deputy Provost Marshal
Broadwell to arrest deseiter and share the
profits. They did each make such arrests
and divided the profits.
The Court adjourned till one o'clock this
afternoon.

Result Of BIafr,s Mission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. The result of
Blair's volunteer visit to Richmond is this:
That jefferson Davis is willing to waive
formalities and send to Washington or re-
ceive three commissioners to treat for peace
upon the basis of separation. The Presi-
dent of the United States, ON the other
hand, is willing to give hearing to any
person of influence who may come from
States in rebellion, with or without Davis
authority, to treat for peace on the basis of
submission to the Union. OF the above
facts there is no doubt.
