TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1866.

Leave Of absence was granted to Mr.. Sumner
for two weeks on account of the sickness Of his
mother.
Mr.. Anthony offered a preamble and resolutions
to the effect that, as the Irish had fought for this
country in every war, their purpose 7of freeing
ireland was entitled to our respect and sympathy,
which Great Britain had forfeited by her faitbless
ness, and that therefore, the neutrality laws Of
1878 under which the Fenians were stopped from
invading Ireland, be repealed. The motion to lay
on the table was rejected by yeas 4; nays ia.
Mr.. Schenck offered a substitute that in the
opinion of this House, the President should recon
slider the policy which had been adopted by him
in the trouble on the Canada borders, and adopt
as near as practicable the same course which
Great Britain pursued in the late civil war A
motion to lay on the table was rejected by a de.
cded vote, and the resolution and substitute were
finally referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
In the House MI. Boutwell, introduced the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution:
Whereas, Il is notorious that Jefsgson Davis
was the leader Of the late rebellion, and guilty of
| treason, and
Where's, By tie Presidents proclamation of
May, 1865, Davis was charged with completely in
the assassination of President Lincoln, and
Whereas, Said proclamation has not been re-
voked, therefore,
| Reso5Ued, That it is the opinion of this House
that said Davis should be held in custody pris
oner and be subjected to a trial according to the
rules of the land.
Mr.. Rogers objected to this resolution.
Mr.. Boutwell, moved q suspension of the rules.
MFR. Rogers desired to ask a question, but the
Speaker ruled the debate not in order. Mr.. Rogers,
however, askedif Mr.. Boutwell, or any unprejudced
mind believed Mr.. Davis guilty of completely in
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln. The speaker
called Mr. Rogers to order and said ne must take
his seat. The rules were suspended, and the reso-
luton was adopted by yeas los, nays 10.
Mr.. Raymond offered a resolution, which was
adopted, calling on the President to communicate
to the House statement of the provisions of the
laws and ordinances of the late Confederate
States on the subject of the so-caled rebel debt.
The House proceeded to the consideration Of
the bill reported from the reconstruction commit
tee, to provide for the restoration of the States
lately in insurrecton to their political rights. Mr.
Rousseau argued that the States should now
be represented, and the country be restor
ed to peace and prosperity. Referring to the
attack of Mr.. Ingersoll recently upon the
President and those who supported him, al
sycophants and lickspittles, he hurled bacl
the epithets in the teeth of him who had uttered
them, and who had done nothing but stay at hom
and look after offices. Grant, Sherman AM
Thomas supported the Presidents policy. Wer
they lickspittles? Mr.. Rosseau proceeded to argu
that Just and temperate policy on the part of tn
radicals might have given them long lease Q
power, and even now so well are the radica
leaders convinced that their course would nc
> be approved by the people they woul
not dare to adjourn without admitting repre-
sentatives from Tennessee. They would hav
to test their own wqsRs Queen Elizabet
once asked the Speaker R the House of Con
mons, what that body had passed. Seven weel
your Majesty" So this Congress, if asked Il
same question would have to answer, seve
MONTHS for it had done nothing but pass
d freedmen's bureau bill, and some other such me
sures In the conclusion of Mr.. Rosseau's spec,
Mr.. Grinnen made some remarks of person
character about Mr.. Rousseau, who told tt
. speaker that unless he protected him he wou
protect himself.
The speaker rebuked Mr.. Grinnell for his CO.
duct. Mr.. Rosseau, in response to MIR. Crime
treated him with contempt. He said he would n
resent anything the member from Iowa might sa
On previous occasion Mr.. Grnnell had said
would not resent an insult. He therefore wou
have nothing to do with him. Whatever the Ho
n Grinnell thought he was entitled to for his la
g guage, he was welcome to. The members of Il
Is House were much excited during the altercatio
,r. which would doubtless have led to collision b
