WASHINGTON, June 14-Sendte.-Mr. Morgan
presented memorial from the New York Chamber
of Commerce in favor of the bankrupt Law. He
expressed himself favorably upon it, and said he
hoped it would be reported at an early day from
the Judiciary Committee
The House passed the bill for establishing assay
offices in Oregon and Idahoe.
The debate continued on the bill to restore po- !
litical rights to the Southern States. Among the
speakers was Mr.. Harris, of Maryland, who reiter
ated the right of the Southern States to secede.
WASHINGTON, June l4.-Samuel Hanson, for
merly clerk in the Confederate postoffce depart
ment, has committed suicide from want OF employ
ment and reduced circumstances.
The Star asserts that the votes Of the more CON
servative Union men were obtained for the consti-
tutional amendment, by pledges from their radical
colleagues that action shall be taken during the
present session upon the bill.
Considerable excitement was caused to-day, in
front of the capitol, by Mr.. Rousseau, who ap-
preached Mr.. Grinnell, and said he had waited sew
eral days for him to apologize for the outrageous
assault upon him (Mr. Rousseau) in debate. Mr..
Grinnell said, 81 have no apology to make.''
Whereupon Mr.. Rousseau caned him, Mr. Grinnell
making no resistance whatever. When Mr.. Rous-
seau had finished fiagelating him, Mr.. GriuneIl
merely said, It is all right,'' and the parties sep
arated.
| WASHINGTON June 14-House.- Harris said
he stood now as he did after war was declared /;
as he did last Congress, when he received his
crown ofcensure as he stood when in prison, and
| before that Internal instrument of tyranny
court-martial and, as he stood in principle so he
would in practice. He believed now, as then, in
the right of secession that those States were sat.
sfed Justified II in going out of the Union, and,
moreover, that they did go out and thereby be-
came to this Union as foreign States. He would
stand by this, and he therefore against the re-
construction policy of the President, who was
only carrying out Mr.. Lincoln's scheme, and was
now faithful to the Republicans, and had been
since he left the Democracy; but he believed in
the Presidents declaration: " no taxation without
representation"
In his view, the Southern States had nc right to
representation in this Congress, and had no right
to furnish the country with President or Vice
President He wanted Tennessee admitted into
the Union, which he must do by act of Congress,
but no bill for that purpose could receive his vote
so long as the st-oath disgraced the State
[statute n book. Under the test oath the South
could have no representative men in Congress.
Referring incidentally to the assassination Of Mr..
Lincoln Mr.. Harris said Mrs. Surratt entreated
for four days TO prepare her soul for God. "Not
an hour,n Numbered forth voice from the war
department, on with the gallows, tile coffin aud
the grave; the angels Of heaven shall not
rejoice over the repentant sinner" Angels Of
mercy sought relief from a higher authority
and probably from more merciful heart,
but Preston King was the ianitor tlege and they
were excluded. Where is Preston King? Echo
answers where Mrs. Surratt was executed to the
day. Notwithstanding the application of her
heart-broken daughter for her remains they are
still in the keeping of the war department. Mr..
Harris then showed how different the South had
acted in the case of John Brown, whose body was
given to his friends. Ee concluded by saying the
right of secession was born with the Constitution
Mr.. Leblond, in the name of the Democratic
party dssented from his views. 1t did not believe
the Southern States ever were out of the Union,
or could go out. In this he differed from Mr. Har-
rs and Thaddeus Stevens.
Mr.. Dawes denied for Stevens, who was not
present, that he held the opinion that under the
Constitution the States had ths right to go out; i;
but he did believe they had fought themselves
out, were recognized as belligerents, and were
conquered, and those States are now conquered
territory.
The speech of Mr.. Harris excited great interest
and comment. Members crowded around him
during its delivery.
WASHINGTON, June 14.--It is stated that our
minister to Austria, under instructions from this
government, informed the sovereign of that coun-
try that the sending of Austrian troops to Mexico
would be looked upon as an unfriendly act and as
a violation of the Monroe Doctrine, to the support
of which we are pledged.
The Austrian government, we learn, has officially
given the assurance that no such troops shall be
sent to the Emperor Macmillan. ~
