na-M Mr.. Ward, On. Y, introduced a
bill, which was referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs, granting bounty land
aud money to United States soldiers who
served during the Rebellion. The bill
provides for giving bounty land and money
to all soldiers who enlisted prior to June
18th, 1868, and were honorably ~discharg-
ed. The object is to make the bounty of
this class of soldiers equal to that of those
who subsequently enlisted. 1t also pro-
vides for the repeal of law which allow
ed the master of colored soldiers who en-
listed to give these bounties.

eHs. 1t is stated that the Democratic
candidate for State Senator in New Bed
ford, Massachusetts, at the late election
was a negro, "as black as nights sable
curtain" The Republicans nominated a
white man, in order to catch the votes of
black men, the Democracy put up a ne
gro. But the colored voters could not be
deluded, and the Republican white man
Yves elected.

Mr.. ColfaX's Speech.

The following is the address delivered
by MIR. Colfax on taking the Speakers
| Chair in the National House If Repre-.
sentatives
Gentlemen Of the House Of Represen-
tatiges: The r~e-assembling of Congress,
marking as it does the procession of our
national history, is always regarded With
interest by the people for whom it is to
legislate. But it is not unsafe te say
that millions more than ever before,
North, South East &West, are looking 70
| the Congress which opens its frat session
to-day with an earnestness and s0iicituGe
unequalied on similar occasions 10 the past.
The XXAVIIIth Congress closed its con-
stitutional existence with the storm-cloud
Of war still lowering over US and, after a
| nine mouths absence, Congress resumes
its legislative authority in these council
halls, rejoicing that from shore to shore in
our land there is peace. Its duties are as
! obvious as the suns pathway in the heav-
ems. Representing iu its two branches
the States and the People, its first and
highest obligation is to guaranty to every
State a republican form Of government
The rebellion having oyerthrown the
constitutional State governments in many
States, it is yours to mature and enact iegis-
laticn which, with the concurrence OF such
a basis of audurin, justice as will guaranty
all necessary safeguards to the people, and
to afford what our magua charta, the Dec
~laration of Independence, proclaims is the
chief object OF government, protection to
all men in their inalienable rights. Gap
plause.) The world should witness in this
great work the most infexibie fidelity, the
most earnest devotion to the principles Of
liberty and humanity, the truest patriot
ism and the wisest craftsmanship. Men BY
the hundreds Of thousands have died that
the republic might live. The emblems Of
mourning have darkened the White House
and the cabin alike But the fires of civil
war have melted every fetter in the land
and proved the funeral pyre of slavery. 1t
is for you, representatives, to do your work
as faithfully and as well as did the fearless
s~aviors of the Union on their more Ian
gerous arenas of duty. Then we may
hope to sec the vacant and once abandon
ed seats around us gradually filing up.
until this Hal shall contain Representa-
tives from every State and district, their
hearts devoted to the Union for which
they are to legislate, jealous of the honor,
proud of its glory, watchful of its rights
and hostile to Its enemies, and the stars
on our banner that paled when the States
they represented arrayed themselves in
arms against the nation, will shine with 8
more brilliant light of loyalty than ever
before. (Applause.) Invoking the guild
ance Of Him who holds the destiny of ma
tons in the hollow Of his hand, | enter
again upon the duties of this trying posi-.
ton, with a heart filled with gratitude to-
you for the unusually fla,tering manner in
which it has been bestowed, and cheered
by the hope that it betokens your cordial
support and assistance in all its grave re-
sponsibllities. | am now ready to take
the oath of office prescribed by law.

very general satisfaction among the mem

a majority of important committees. 1t
is generally conceded that the Committee
on Appropriations is a most important one
now that our disbursements are to be well
looked after. Thad. Stevens is Just the
