was laid on the table in the e. S. House Of
Repre-: entatives, on Tuesday, by a vote OF 81 to
SO. It was defended by Mr.. Davis Of Nd,
who, it is said, referred particularly to the re.
cent election of u. s Senators from Virginia,
denouncing the election, and coudemning the
proceedings on that subject, in this place. The
following is an extract fro Mr.. Dayls's re.
marks as published i'll the papers:
Mr.. Davis, Of Maryland, said from the pre-
sent aspect of affairs, it looked as though by
the Fourth of July next, armed rebellion will
have failed to lift it's brazen front. Ills 90
iect as expressed 10 the bill, was to prevent
the States now in rebellion from coming here
next December, dic,atoriay clamoring Tor the
admission of their Representatives and tWeny-
Two Senators. The President should treat
those who hold power in the South as they
deserve, strip them OF their enblems OF au
thority and expel them from the Executive
Mansion, should they there intrude. As to
Louisiana, that State was recognized by the
bayonets of Gen. Banks and the secret letter
OF the President. He wished to prevent The
Rebels from sweeping in mere next December
and becoming our II asteTs Ii this bill be not
passed, what is the alternative? The PreSl
Dent, With the bayonet, remains in power with
out law in the premises. lie Mr. Davis was
attempting to lay down the law. but some gen,
tIemen here prefer arbitrary will to the writ
ten law OF the land Some ten years ago,
when he first came to Congress, this was a
Government of law, but he had lived to see tile
Government degenerate to a, bltr*ry will. Let
us hope, he said, that in the course Of events,
those who have rebeled against the Constitu
ton and laws, will, like the prodgal son, re-
turn, asking forgiveness on their knees.
A REpR1MAND Mr.. Field, of Louisiana
was brought, on Wednesday, before The L. S.
House of Represen' ative, to receive the rep.
rimand ordered by the House, fr his assault
upon Mr.. Kelley, ne nber <of the body.
The Speaker briefly recapitulated the cir
cumstauces IF the assault, and In conclusion
said - 1T is but just to you to state that the
testimony ii your friends het"re the committee
declare y"u to be a gentlem IN OF correct de
portn,ent kind and alniable in your inter
course with others, and unex, eptlonahle In de

Occupy TO day, is theref RE ony another illus
tratinn of the exceeding value Of that warning
voice of inspiration, Loyk not upon the wine
when it is red, when it yieldeth IT'S color in

to remember thrt, whether as an individual or
legislator, He that is slow to anger is better
than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit
better than he that taketh a city, 1t only
remains FIR me to direct the Sergeant Arms
