speech or Mr. Raymond .oa the BASIS


In the House of Representatives ON
Tuesday the debate on the constitution
al amendment to make the qualified
voters the basis of representation COM
ing up, Mr.. Raymond, of New York,
made q speech denying the positions
heretofore assumed by Mr.. Stevens and
others, that the Southern States are out
fof the Union, and arguing that Con-
gress is particularly enjoined by the
Constitution from doing anything TO
those States which it may not do to
other States. a-4f -
In this connection Mr.. r. referred to
the proclamations of Mr.. Lincoln; to
his declarations, private and public; to
his first inaugural; to his diplomatic
correspondence through the Secretary
of State; to his messages to Congress; to
his letters TO Horace Greedy and Fer
nando Wood; and to the reply made TO
the French proposals for mediation OF
the 9th OF February, 1858, stating that
the Congress of the United States fur
nished a constitutional forum of de-
bate for the a1ieniated parts, that Sen
ators and Representatives from the
loyal portion of the people We're then
already fully empowered TO confer, and
that the seats were all vacant, and in
vited the Senators and Repre-
seniatives from discontinued parts,
who might be constitutionally
sent there from States involved in in
surrectton. Mr.. Raymond also referred
to the acts of Congress passed in regard
to the tariff; to revenue laws; to the
act for the apportionmento f represent
tatives; to resolution defining the OBJ
ject of war to be to defend and main
tain the supremacy of the constitution
and to preserve the Union with the uni
ty, equality and rights of the States I'M
impaired. This resolution, passed in
the summer of 1861, had been voted for
by all the Union members of the South,
including the speaker. Mr.. Kelley and
Mr.. ShelIoberger. The gentleman from
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Stevens, had not al
ways held the theory that the rebel
States were out of the Union, for
on the 4th of December, 1862, he in
troduced resolution declaring
that If any person in the employment
of the United States, in either the exc
cutive or legislative branch, should pro-
pose to make peace or accept, or advise
the acceptance of any such proposition,
on any other. basis than the integrity
and entire unity of the United States
and their territory as they existed at
the time of the rebellion, they would be |
guilty of high crime. Mr.. Raymond |
also referred to a speech delivered by |
Chief Justice Chase nearly a wear ago
in Dartmouth College, in which he laid |
down the proposition that the rebel |
States remained States of the Union,
and the second process of reorganiza- |
ton was that the Government should |
now revolve to the hands of the South
ern people.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Ex-Governor
Curtin's message was communicated to
the Legislature to-day, The financial
report shows an improvement in the
condition of the treasury since Nov. 80,
1860, of over g, 100000, notwithstand-
ing the large expenditures for military
purposes. The extraordinary expenses
growing ont of the war, not refunded
by the General government, Is 81, 000,-
QUO; yet on Dec. 1, 1865, the State debt
was nearly half million dollars less
than on Jan. !, 1861. Under the cir
cumstances, the reduction or even re-
peal of the ordinary State tax of two
and a halt millions of dollars is posi-
BILE with entire safety to our finances;
also thelocal taxes of bonds, mortgages,
&c. The Governor then gives a highly
interesting statement of the action of
Pennsylvania in the prosecution of the
war for the Union. He alludes to the
promise of the Federal authorities TO
reimburse the State for the expenses of
the emergency troops and the failure of
Congress to do so, and recommends the
Legislature to adopt measures to bring
the subject again before Congress. He
concludes thus:
+tMy uniform course during our
late war was to avoid the discussion of
the policy of the General Government
while giving hearty support to the
National authorities in all their meaR-
ures to suppress the rebellion. / shall
continue to pursue thesame course dur
ing the embarrassments necessarily
connected with the entire restoration of
the country. The principles expressed
in the message of the President Will re-
ceive my cordial support

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The message
of the President in answer to the Senate
inquiry for Information relative to ne
COLLATION. in 1861 with Mexico, for the
purpose of marching United States
troops from Jacquas to Arizona,
through Mexico, encloses a paper upon
the subject from the State Department,
from which 1t appears that under date
of May 4, 1851, Senior Romero called the
attention of Mr.. Seward to a project of
southern men for seiziDg Mexico and
establishing slavery therein, and de
clared that Mexico conquered her indie
pendence through the blood of her chill
dren, and Will maintain to the last
against any invader who may attempt
to take it from her, and that she will
never consent that any human being
shall be reduced TO slavery within its
territory. 1t is a free country in which
no man is born a slave and in treading
upon that which liberty retains TO those
who may before have had the misfor-
tune to lose it.-zHe therefore wished to
arrange between Mexico and the Uni
ted States n treaty which shall guaran-
tee the boundaries of the Mexican Re-
public as may be agreed upon and pre-
vent the introduction of slavery into
the Mexican territory. He would make
an indispensable condition to such
treaty. or arrangement that no Euro
pean nation should interfere therein
text for the intervention OF that CONT
nent in the affairs of Mexico in particu-
lar and America in general. Mr..
Seward replies in May the 7th that
such designs of the insurgents here
against the peace of Mexico cannot
be carried into effect If their designs
against their own government are pre-
vented He says that full instructions
were given to Mr.. Corwin TO establish
such relations with Mexico, and the
other American Republics, as will
strengthen their power and enable them
to maintain Independence of every in
| fluence coming from the other hemi-
spheres. In another letter of the same
date he asks permission from the Mex
lean government for the passage OF
troops through Mexican territory for
concentration in Arizona. Mr.. Romero,
August 10th, communicated the desired
permission. Mr.. Seward acknowledges
the liberal and magnanimOus exhibit
ton of confidence, and promises that
Mexico shall have no occasion TO regret
the courtesy.

TIE SLocUM BoED.-The Supreme Court
has filed an opinion in the case of the People,
for the use of Boise county, VS.. A. Slocum
ct. al. The case was appealed from the Dis
trict Court in this county on the demurrer of
defendants. The frst objection, that the
plaintiffs have not legal capacity 10 sue, was
oTerraled. On the second objection, that
the complaint does not state facts sufficient to
constitute cause of action, the question of
the validity of the bond declared upon, was
raised. The Court, by Mcbride, Who rem
dered the opinion, admits that the bond was
not in compliance with the statute, but denies
the corollary that it is void, upon the ground
that being less onerous than the one re-
qnired, the defendant could not complain
md that defendant having assumed to act as
Treasurer, and received moneys in that capa-
city, he was liable for the moneys, with or
without fling bond, aud therefore that the
alleged want of authority of the Board OF
Commissioners to require a second bond, af-
ter the first had been destroyed, was imma-
erial. The Court says: I'm this case the
law required bond of the County Treasurer.
+ was bis duty to execute one, and in doing
so, if he gave oneless stringent less burden
some, and more liberal than the law strictly
and properly enforced would have exacted,
he cannot claim exemption for admitted La
bilities. tits bond giyeo to comply with
the Law, and yet falling short of its provi.
siOnss and to allow defendant.to avoid such
an obligation would be to permit himto take
advantage of his own wrong, and while we
admit that this is not statutory bond, yet
is lawful bond and may be enforced under
the general law, as being sustained by Legis-
lative authority - a9a
Ia regard to the amount for which the
suretes are. liable, the Court says 49,
We think therefore that tits joint and several
bond for thirty thousand dollars, and that each
and all OF the defendants are liable for that
that the sum set opposite their respective names
. to show the sums for which they intended to
Justify and to fix their liabilities towards each
other in the event of the collection of the penalty
and the necessity for contribution and settlement
The third objection, that the complaint
was ambiguous and uncertain, was held to
be well taken. s.Tbe cause will be remanded
with directions to trequiro the complaint to
be amended, and made more defnite-and
upon complying that the plaintiffs proceed
with their action"
The legal points being decided, the case
viii next be tried upon tAe complaint and
answer. 1853 s 49, asss4ss sI6aaa-asa ba8
