Congress Going TO Work Again-Pre-
partitions for an Earnest Campaign.
From the Richmond Examiner, Feb. 8

From the Richmond Examiner, Feb 81
Congress NAV he congratulated upon
finding itself now steadilyoccupied upon
its great and pressing business. The tur-
moil of peace resolutions having blown
over, and even the vague craving OF
those who wished something done look
ing toward peace being in some sort ap-
peased by the departure Of three emf
nent citizens to Washington on that
hopeful erraBd, there is now leisure to
attend to business Accordingly within
the last lay or two both houses are pro
ceeding methodically to work The
Senate has just passed bill which will
sadly interfere with the comfortable ar
rangements of some of the post quarter
masters and commissaries, but will give
much satisfaction to most of the citizens.
The Senate aud House have not yet
agreed upon the provisions of another
most important military bill, that pro-
vides for the employment Of free negroes
and slaves to work on Notifications, and
perform other labor connected with the
defense OF the country. 1t may be hoped
so that General Lee may know what he
has TO calculate upon in the shape of ne
gro labor On this point one word of
warning may be given to both houses,
that whatever comments or objections
the policy of the bill may call forth, the
country in its present temper will not
sustain any hesitation OF resistance to
this or any other measure founded on
cupidity or reluctance to sacrifice prop
erty, any amount of property in the
common cause "All that a man hath
will he give for his life" and since
there is much more than life at stake
now, it would be Well to see our law
makers in the quiet work Of providing
for spring campaign The business of
peace is now happily devolved on the
three so-called commissioners; it is their
department, and they ought not TO be in
terfered with For all the rest of us the
work is preparation for an immediate,
active and, perhaps, decisive campaign

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7

SENATE-Mr. Trumbull called up the
resolution introduced by him few days
since, declaring as follows:
WHEREAS, The Secretary of the Senate
has submitted the constitutional amend
ment to the President for his approval,
and whereas. the proposition to amend
the constitution does not require the ap-
proyal of the President, therefore,
Resolped, That the action of the Secre
tary in this case shall not be taken as "a
precedent for the future.
This resolution was adopted.
The Chair here said that the untinlsh-
ed business was the bill i'll relation ~
the enrolment law, which was then ta-
ken up. The pending question was the
adoption of the amendment OF Mr.. Con
ness, to make the third section read 50
that substitute brokers, recruiting agents
or other persons who shall for pay Oh
profit enlist insane persons, or persons III
a condition of intoxication, shall be pun
ished
Mr.. Cowan moved so to amend the 3rd
section as to make persons accused OF the
crimes above named amenable TO the
civil courts, Instead of a court martial
or military commission.
The question on the adoption of Mr..
Cowans amendment was decided III the
affirmative by yeas %, nays Ia.
Mr.. Grimes moved TO strike out the lst
section, which allowes persons liable 10
draft to be accepted as substitutes
Mr.. Wilson opposed the amendment.
He had been told by men engaged in en-
listing men, that the clause referred 10
would be of Invaluable value to the ser
vice. The country needed and must
have them
Mr.. Clark offered as an amendment
that any person drafted may furnish as a
substitute a person liable TO draft in the
same town, city or ward.
Mr.. Grimes withdrew his amendment,
and Mr. Clark amendment was adopted
HoUsE.-Ths House went into COM
mittee on the forti6cation bill.
Mr Washburne, of Illinois, said he
understood the amendment in the bill
was five millions of dollars. He was led
to know from the chairman of the COM
mittee on Ways and Means that II was
necessary TO eIpend all this money at
the present time.
Mr. Brooks moved 10 strike out the
half million for defeDses around Wash
ingtoB. Lost
The fortihcation bill was then laid
aside.
The committee next took up the army
bill.
Mr. Wilson offered an amendment TO
prevent any of the money from being
paid for service to such railroad compa-
nies as have received grants Of land 10
build their roads, on condition that they
would transport troops and other prop
erty of the United States free of toll.
Mr. Wilson and Washburne supported
the apspdmsnf, which ains p fhs Hi
