Congressional.

SENATE.-Mr. Trumbull called up the
bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen E
! Bureau.
Mr.. Cowen moved to amend, by restrict
ing the operations of the bureau to the
States lately in rebellion.
Mr.. Trumbull said that would have the
effect of exclu ding Kentucky; Missouri and
Maryland, where there were many slaves
who needed the protection Of the bureau.
Mr.. Guthrie said there was no reason
why Kentucky sbould be included in the
bill. Kentucky did not waut,the relief pro
posed. The freedmen were. part of his
population, and would be cared for as such.
He believed the States themselves could
take care of the freedmen much better than
the Freedmen's Bureau, the bill before the
Senate providing for a lazzaroni through
out the South, and Kentucky wanted no
such within her borders. The bill could
not be intended as matter Of economy; if
economy was the object it would have bet
ter been accomplished by the immediate
admission of the Southern States. The
South had lost 81 ,OOO, ZOO. 900 by the war.
He thought they deserved itsas a conse
auence of engaging in war. There was no
reason in the world why Congress should
regulate the relations between the citizens
and freedmen of Kentucky. He was sorry
to see the spirit that was manifested in
Congress toward Southern people. for be
believed they were honest and sincere in
their anxiety to return to the Union. A
discussion here arose between Mesers. Pom
eroy and Guthrie. pending which the Sen
ate adjourned.
On the 18th, Mr.. Chaudler's resolution
providing for non intercourse with Great
Britain was laid on the table,-25 to 12.
Mr.. Chandler gave notice Of bis.intention at
some future day to move for the repeal of
the neutrality laws. A resolution vas
adopted calling upon the President for b is
correspondence with Supreme Court Judges
respecting the holding Of civil courts in in :
surrectionary districts for trial of offenders
sgaiust the United States The bill fixing
the military peace establishment was re-
ported from the Military Committee.
Mr.. Williams introduced a resolution,
which was referred 10 the Committee on
RecOnstr uction, declaring that the leaders Of
the rebellion ought to be tried by court
martial or military commission, and that
il would be expedient to try them by civil
court, where the jury in such, would be
the equals of those accueed Of crime.
Mr. Stevens, from the Committe on Re-
construction, reported an amendment to
the Constitution. providing that represen-
tation shall be based on the RboIe number
of persons in States. and that where the
elective frsnehiss is denied or, abridged on
account of race or color all such persons
shall be excluded from the basis Of repre-
H.
Mr.. Rogers, Of New Jersey, from the
COMMITTEES on Reconstruction, opposed the
amendment, arguing that il, is contrary to
the principles on which the Government is
founded. viz: Representation and taxation
must go together. Il was designed to de-
grade the white man.

Rats Desert a Sinking Ship.

The n. I. Herold, heretofore an ardent
supporter oi President Johnson's policy,
speaks thus of the result of the Maine
election:
"The general results Of the Maine cleo
ton are very decisive aud very significant
They are startling and incomprehens
to the Conservatives and indicate a popu-
lar ground-swell wholly unexpected by the
radicals themselves. 1t is manifest to Us
that this remarkable election turned more
upon the exciting political events of the
day, North and South, than upon the
exact political issues presented between
the Southern restoration policy of Presi-
dent johnson and the reconstruction
policy of Congress. Extraordinary results
are generally due to extraordinary causes
Had the Republicans simnly held some
thing like their standing majority IN
Maine, the result could have been ex-
planned by the simple statement that the
battle was fought between the Union
party OF The war and the old Copperhead
Peace Democracy. But the enormous
gains to the Republican vote throughout
the State require a larger explanation"
After endeayoring to find a plausible
excuse COR the overwhelming result, it
concludes thus:
"Whatever may have been the real
causes, however, operating to bring about
the extraordinary results of this Maine
election, it is too decisive against the
Democracy and Conservatives to be linn
tied to Maine. We apprehend that, as in
all cur political contests of the past of
national character, the result in Name
indicates the general DRIFT Of the elections
coming after IT throughout the Northern
States. The prospect now Of a Couserva-
tive majority in the next Congress is very
doubtful ; the prospect of another radical
Congress is better than it has appeared at
any time since December last In short,
this Maine election of 1866 vii! probably
mark another new chapter in our political
history, and perhaps another reorganiza-
ton of parties, and another reconstruction
of platforms for the Presidential election,
beginning with the close of the. coming
elections OF October aud n November"
When we remember that a few DAYS
ago the Herald was their particular foul
mouth-piece, this desertion of the Copper
head causeis peculiarly significant A few
more Earthquakes" are in prospective
The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1866-09-27

has time and again withheld It's radicalism
that opportunity might be afforded for
healing the breach between it and the
President, though on every occasion greet
ed only with repulse. It differed from
the President, as was its right, but at no
time has 1t been unwilling to heal this
difference on any fair basis, though per-
sistently and properly refusing to acknowl-
edge even by implication that it could
not rightfully impose conditions. A few
men, extreme in their views and differing
widely in them with the Congressional
majority, at various times gave utterance
to impolitic references to the President,
which were quickly seized upon as the
occasion for attack, rot only on Congress,
but on the great body of the Union
Republican party. Yet if a justification
OF the EXTREMIST measures proposed IL
Congress, save that Of reducing the rebel
States to territories, were required, such
justification IS at hand from the Presi-
dents own mouth.
Thus it has been proposed by Thaddeus
Stevens to con6scate the property of
rebels. President johnson advocated
like doctrine, thus "Their (tbe rebels')
great plantations must be seized, and
divided into small farms, and sold to
honest, industrious men,
Thaddeus Stevens and others proposed
the disfranchisement of rebels. So did
President johnson, in these words "The
traitor has ceased to be citizen, aud In
joining the rebellion has become public
enemy. He forfeited his right to vote
with loyal men when he renounced his
citizenship and sought to destroy our
Government"
So in regard to negro suffrage, the
President spoke as follows in dispatch
TO Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi: ''If
you could extend the elective franchise to
all persons of color who can read ;he
Constitution of the United States in
English and write tAeir names, and to all
persons of color who own real estate valued
at not less than two hundred and fifty
dollars, go" ecouId completely disarne the
dd0ersary and set an example the other
States rU f1lolo"

{" In calling convention to restore the
State, who shall restore and re-establlsh
it? Shall the man who gave his iufu-
ence and his means to destroy the Govern
ment? Is he to participate in the great
work of reorganization Shall he who
brought this misery upon the State be
permitted to control its destinies If this
be so then all this precious blood of our
brave soldiers and officers so freely poured
out will have been waatonly spilled, sall
the glorious victories won by on: noble
armies will go for nought, and all the
battle fields which have been sown with
dead heroes during the rebellion will have
been made memorable in vain. Why all
this carnage and devastation It was
that treason might be put down and trai-
tors punished Therefore say that trai-
tors shall take back seat in the work of
restoration"
ANDREW JOHNSON IN FAVOR OF DIS
FRANGHISING TRAITORS.

citizen, and in joining the rebellion has

false card Oh tho subject of bounties given
by Congress to white and colorad soldiers.
Our political adversaries are acting
upon the adage, "A A lie we'll adhered to
is as good as the truth" As military
agent of Pennsylvania at Washington for
more than two years, I became familiar
with the laws of Congress granting boun-
ties to soldiers. | most positively affirm
chat no act or acts of Congress di>crimi.
nate against ,rhite soldiers or a.. faror of
colored soldiers. All assertions to the CON
trary are falsehoods, intended to mislead
and deceive
You are at liberty to make any use YOU
please of this communication.
Yours, truly,

Gen. Grant ON Hseaster Clymer

A special correspondent of the Chicago
Republican, WHO had conversation with
General Grant after the Presidential party
left Cincinnati, and who was authorized
to make public the Generals sentiments,
says that General Grant felt that to ask
men whose sons had she'd their blood for
the Union TO vote for men who had been
disloyal to it was the greatest insult that
could be offered. Southern men he
could make allowances for. and he could
ride through the South and get out on a
platform and shake hands in friendship
with such men az Lee, Johnson, or For
rest, because, though they had been al
most educated in secession, they come
now truly honest and loyal in their adhe-
renee to the Uuion, and were seeking to
strengthen it, But he did not feel that
way toward Northern men who had once
been disloyal, and neither desired to asso-
ciate with them nor have them for his
friends No such men should have his
support, nor ought they to be supported
by Mr.. Johnson's friends throughous the
Northern States. He particularly IN
stanced as a specimen of this objeetioCal
class of men, Heister Clymer, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, saying that to ask any soldier to
vote for such man, Of at one time known
disloyalty, against another who had served
four years In the Union army, with credit
to himself and benefit to his country, was
gross insult.
