horrible catastrophe we witnessed last night.
About midnight, those sleepless ones who

ThiriY-ninth COngress--Second Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Il.
HOUSE.

Mr. Scbenck offered a resolution directing the
judiciary Committee to inquire into the sale OF
a colored man in Maryland under the sentence
Of Court.
Mr. Stevens made speech on the subject, in
which he said that it was the duty Of Congress
to give to Maryland a republican form Of gov
ernment, which il has not now.
Referring to the sale Of colored man at An
napols, Mr. Stevens said the amendment abOl-
ishing slavery made an exception of those con-
victed for crime. Maryland was not the only
State where occasion was taken to sell colored
people into slavery. Not many weeks ago two
very respectable PERSONS gentleman and his
wife-had called upon him and told him that
they had iust come from Florida, where 1t be-
came too warm for them. The day before they
left they saw some negroes sold into slavery at
public auction, some Of them for seven years,
and they SAW several others whipped with
stripes on their naked backs at a whipping post,
under the discriminating laws Of Florida. lie
thought the inquiry should extend to all the
slave States.
Mr. Schenck enlarged upon this theme and
narrated an instance Of oppression in Georgia,
where a colore1 agent Of Philadelphia benevo-
lent society, was arrested on the charge Of
yagrancy and condemned TO the Changing for
Q term Of twelve months.
Mr. Lawrence, Of Ohio, moved to amend the
resolution 60 rs to direct the Committee to report
what legislation is necessary to protect loyal
CITIZENS in the enjoyment Of life, liberty and
property in the lately rebellious States, except
ing Tennessee lie sent up an extract from q
loyal Georgia newspaper, Of the eth Of Deem
Der, showing that at the late Equal Rights
Convention, held in Macon, delegates represent
ing fifty counties, reported one hundred and
hlty murders within the last ten months, and in
no instance dill the civil authority attempt %
bring the murierers TO justice.
Tne amendment was agreed to and the reso-
luton was adopted.
Mr. Ashley moved to suspend the rules to
allow him 10 offer = resolution for the appoint
ment Of select Committee to inquire into the
acts done by officers Of the Government,
which amount to high crimes and misiemean-
ors. The rules were not suspended. the vote
being IS to 49-less than two-thirds.
