the session was spent in inactiou. Yo

the reasons for it in the last number

Its propriety. I shall renew it at tn,

In my opinion, Congress was dere.
llct In another particular. have al
ways held that while but few Of the bel.
Ilgerents should suffer the extreme men.
atty OF the law, yet that sufficient fund
should be levied out of their property to
pay the expenses and damages of the
war. Congress in July, 1852. declared
all their property forfeited, and directed
the President to seize it for the benefit
OF the United States; more than ton
billions Of property thus became vested
In the United States. Proceedings
against more than two billions of prom.
serty, including the abandoned estates
had been Instituted and were in nro,
gress The President has restored to
u, tne traitors nearly the whole of f.
Thus has he illegally given away half
enough to pay the National debt, He
has enriched traitors at the expense of
loyal men. And yet Congress, bold as
1t was, had not the courage to reverse
these proceedings and compel the Ex-
ecutlve to do his duty. l trust that our
constituents will give us more COURAGE,
SO that IN the next session we may com.
pei the President to do his duty and ay.
ecute the laws, Those are omissions
which frankly confess and sincerely
dePlore. But our crowning sin was the
omission to give homesteads and the
right of suffrage in the Rebel States to
the freedmen who had fought our battles,
we have left them the victims of the
Rebels who every day shoot them down
IN cold blood. At Memphis, 40 were
murdered under the direction of the |
municipal authorities, and not man
prosecuted. Behold the awful slaupb-
ter of white men and black-of a Con-
Vention of highly respectable men,
pGeaceably assembled in Convention at
New-Orleans, which Gen. Sheridan pro.
nounces more horrible than the massacre
d Fort Pillow. Even the clergyman
who opened the proceedings with prsyer
vas cruelty murdered. All this was
lone under the sanction of johnson and
lis office-holders. 1t is the legitimate
consequence of his "policy."
l admit Congress became dernagoe-
cal In the last hot days, when all man
ood was melted out of everybody.
