Mr.. Trumbull offered the following substitute for
the proposition before the Senate, which was
adopted: That no person exercising, or per
forming. or undertaking to exercise or perform,
any duties OF any Office which by law was required
by law to be filled by the advice and consent Of
| the Senate shall, before confirmation, receive any
compensation for his services, unless commissioned
by the President to fill a vacancy Occasioned by
death, resignation or expiration Of term during the
recess of the Senate, and since its last adjourn

protracted discussion took place on the above.
| In the course of the discussion Mr.. DOOlitte said
4 the President had not removed from office for
\ opinion sake He had been an extremely liberal
| chief magistrate in this respect. He had removed
only to make way for men who had served in the
army.
Mi Howe asked if his colleague would give way
| to him while he read an extract from a news
paper
4 newspapers; he did not read them nor believe
1 them. Lattery they had so much abusedhis course
that he had ceased to read them. He would not
yield to Mr. Howe.
4 .AMr Wilson, gin reply to question from Mr.. Doc
little, said that in speaking Of the executive abuse
of power, he had referred to the present Presi-
dent, He wished simply to say that, during last
/ simmer and autumn, we were told that the Presi-
dent was making an experiment in organizing the
rebel States. We were told that if it did not sue
eeed.itEas in the power of Congress to remedy it.
What was the fault now Men were now being
turned out of office for believing that the policy
was not right, and the patronage of the executive
was now being used to carry out that policy. The
Biairs were travelling through the country on a
voyage Of discovery, offering kingdoms Of this
world for converts. When the case of Mr.. Stock
ton was under discussion, Mr. Scoyel, of New Jer-
sey, came here and gave his promise that man
opposed to the President would be sent here. What
DOVE find since We hear of a letter written to an
n officer in New Jersey, by direction OF the Presi-
dent, directing him to turn out certain men and fill
! the vacancy, after consultation with Mr.. S. This

Mr. Howe said no President was ever under
greater obligations to the party that elected him
than the present executive, He had been made
the candidate of q party against which he had
1 been opposed all his life, and ought, above all
other Presidents, to be tolerant of opinions
different from his own When the war broke out
he was made a brigadier general for fidelity and
loyalty to the Union. He was semitic Nashville.
4 He (the Presidency has been in the habit Of saying
that Nashville was point of imminent peril, but,
sir, when we sent the President to Nashville the
same security existed as in Washington and every
other point within the national lines. II was a
place Of peril because wide detection and treason
had covered the country with peril butt was
not peculiarly perilous. This nation made Nash
vile as secure as any point, and he stayed there
and did his duty and grateful for that duty done,
we said to HIM, because he had been faithful
over few things, we would make him ruler over
many and we did make him YicePTesident of
the United States commended to us, as I said
BEFORE by the single fact that he had been loyal
/ in the beginning of the struggle, and had been
| faithful to one trust we had reposed in him as
| general in the army. 1t happened that when he
had been made Vice President terrible disaster
overcame the country and he became President,
and it happened soon after he became President
Of the United States the fact was then developed
that there was difference of opinion upon some
points of policy between the President and the
great body Of that party which had been instru
mental in making him President upon questions
which we thought, which we now think, and
which |, for one know are vital and fundamental
/ II there are any vital and fundamental questions
| IN national poiitcs-and he found that he was in
/ harmony with those who had opposed his cleo
ton, and at variance with those who had given
him the election
i Mr. Doolitte said that his colleague, Mr.. Howe,
4 had recently presented to the Senate, on one
occasion, when he (Doolittle) was absent, resolu-
tons OF the Wisconsin legislature condemning him
i (Dooitue) and requesting him to resign. The
resolutions were not addressed to the Senate and
therefore the Senate could take no action on them
He was called upon to resign for supporting the
II policy Of the President for the restoration Of the
Union. Was that liberation of differences of
u opinion? Did his colleague Mr.. Howe, endorse
that Mr.. Doolittle, referring to the subject Of
reconstruction said that the special committee, in
its report, had abandoned negro suffrage, and it
had also abandoned that other idea that the States
of the South were not States, but territories Mr.
| Doolittle, continuing, said The position of Mr..
| johnson towards the Republican party was similar
to that Of Mr.. Lincoln towards the same party
/ yention cemented the Union party in favor of Mr..
/ Lincoln. He (Doolittle) believed that next fall
the election would show majority in favor of the
present executive, and the President would not be
Idfiyen out Of the Union party, no matter who
might come into it. The Democratic party had
been vanished with the rebellion, and now avowed
the very principles of the Union party in 1864.
Was the Union party to run away from its victory
U the President had erred at ALL it had been in
being too lenient, in tolerating the vest of per-
sonal abuse from newspapers whose editors or pro-
prietors held office under his administration.
MT, Conness rose to question of order, The
debate was taking too wide q range. Senators
were not confning themselves to the question
before the Senate.
Mr.. Wilson was surprised that the senator from
, California, AIR. Conness, who occupied more time
than any one else in the Senate should raise such
an objection.
The Senate, pending the consideration of the
amendment of Mr.. Trumbull at O'Clock adj
/ jouned.
HOUSE, PROCEEDINGS REPORT OF THE RE-
CONSTRUCTION ooAAIITTEE--THE NEW TAX BILL.
WASHINGTON, May s.--After the reading Of the
journal, Mr.. Garfield of Ohio, moved to postpone
the special order being the constitutional amend.
ment reported by the Committee on Reconstruc.
ton, until the tax bill shall be disposed of He
said II would be national calamity to have the
tax bill delayed.
Mfr. Stevens of Pennsylvania, hoped that no
such disposition would be made Of it. He had no
/ idea that the discussion Of the constitutional
] amendment would occupy two or three days and
it was not the purposes of the committee to have
| the other two measures acted upon until it was
