Washington special says:
Investigations rscsnty made relative to
the smuggling % the Canadiss border. have
exhibited the iact that the hostile Indians
u Minnesota and DskotAh have for long
time been supplied with rifles Of the Enfield
pattern, BY English smugeless.
The following 10 . portion Of the speech
made in the House yesterday BY Mr.. BAY
mond, Of New York:
In this connection, my refsrence to the
proclamation Of Mr.. Lincoln, 70 his declare
tons both public and private, 70 his first in
augural, 70 his diplomatic correspondence
through the Secretary Of Stste, TO bis mes
sage to Congress, to his letter 70 Horace
Greeley, and Ferns ndo Wood, to the reply
made to the French proposals for mediation
u the 9th Of February, 1868 stating that
the Congress Of the United States furnished
. constitutional forum Of debate Tor the
alieniated parts that senators and repre-
sentatives were there already fully empow-
cred to confer, and that seats were also
vacant, inviting senators audrepresenative
from the discontented States who might be
constitutionally sent there from the States
involved in the instruction.
Mr.. Raymond also referred to the laws Of
Congress passed in the same idea to the
tariff and revenue laws to the act for the
apportionment Of Representatives to reso-
luton defining the object Of the war to be
to defend and maintain the supremacy Of
the Constitution, and to preserve the Union
with all the unity, equality and rights Of
ths States unimpaired. This resolution
passed in the summer Of 1861, and had been
voted for by al the Union members Of the
House, including the Speaker, Mr.. Kelly.
and Mr.. Shelsberser. The gentleman fro N
! Pennsylvania, Mr.. Stevens, had not always
held the theory that the rebel states
were out Of the Union, for on the 4,h Of
December, 1862, he introduced resolution
declaring that il any person in the employ
inent Of the United States in either Of the
Executive or Legislative branches should
propose, 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 Territories As they
existed at the time Of the rebellion, they
wovld be guilty Of high crime.
He (Mr. Raymond) did not propose to be
guilty Of that high crime. He had heard it
said that the rebel States were stopped by
their own acts from claiming their rights,
but he submitted that the doctrine Of es-
toppage must be mutual, and that IS long
as Congress had declared the object Of the
war to be to preserve the rights of the
States unmpaired, Congress was estoppcd
from putting in snv plea to-day.
Mr.. Raymond also referred to the speech
delivered by Chief Justice Chase nearly a
/ ~, -
he laid down the proposition that the rebel
States remained States Of the Union, and
that the Second process Of re organization
was that the movement should now revert
to the han do Of the Southern people.
