CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGs.
WASHINGTON, March II, 1866.

HOUSE.
The House set as in the committee on
the whole, nothing being in order but
general debates on the Presidents mes
Sage.
Mr.. Orth, of Ind, addressed the House
an hour in defense of the course of Con-
gross as against the policy of Presi-
dent johnson. He defended Con-
gress from the charge of dilatorous-
pursue its work and is determined to
do it right regardless of clamor, abuse
or Vituperation. He held that the Leg
islative branch of the general govern
ment was alone clothed with the au-
thOrity to recognize the State govern
ments, and this was in accordance with
the views of the people. The Union
party of Indiana had recently given
expression to that sentiment i'll the
State Convention. The people were
determined that TRAITORS shall be
punished and treason made odious, +"
that these words should be IA liv-
ing reality, the words of power
and majesty, and not Il mere figure of
rhetoric or feeble promise made to the
ear, but unto the hope the people would
never forget the public man, whatever
his official position, who should en-
dcavor to hug treason aud traitors to
his bosom and turn his back on those
VINO elevated MN 10 power anu lOEBeI
i'll the delirium of that power the sacred
principles on which he was elevated.
He proceeded TO show that the recon-
structed States gave no evidence of 10y
atty to the Government. Referring to
the test oath he declared that the last
traitor in the South should sleep the
sleep of death before that should be
taken from the statute book
Mr.. Stevens, of Pa, next obtained the
floor and made lengthy speech.
Mr.. Ashley next addressed the
House. A proposition to adjourn was
made at the conclusion of Mr.. Ashley's
speech.
The Speaker stated that it was quite
doubtful, with the accumulation of the
public business, whether more than
another Saturday could be devoted to
general debate.
Mr.. Holmes next addressed the
House on the question of the recon-
struction of the rebel States, advocating
the course of Congress against that of
the President, who, he said, had sue
cessfully met the opposition OF the
democratic party, but could not ontlive
its political support. Heidi not, on
the whole, regret the course that had
been taken by the President, because it
gives to the people of the Southern
States an opportunity to show to tho
world what they would do If again en-
trusted with power. At the conclusion
of his remarks the House adjourned.

trymen upon it. He says his record in
Canada has always been clear and
bright, and shall remain so.

WASHINGTON, March lO.-President
Johnson has assured George L. Down
ing, Chairman of the colored delegation
at present in this city, sent here by the
colored people of the States North and
South, that no sudden change will take
place affecting the occupancy of the
iandsto which Gen. Sherman gave the
freedmen possessory title. The Presi-
dent suggested that the freedmen should
continue to cultivate said lands.
Mr.. Downing has received letters
from South Carolina, from parties in
terested, calling him of their fears that
they might be suddenly removed from
the land they were cultivating. The
fears arose on the receipt of the news of
the veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bill.
When the fact was presented to the
President he gave the above assurance.
