the joint resolution, paid an homage to the
speech Of Mr.. BINGHAM. 1t was not his
purpose to consider the measure in any
political or party sense, hut from a higher
and purer motive. Abiding to an intima.
ton made by Mr.. BUTLER that members
believing in the principle Of State rights
could not support this measure, he said
that, for himself, he spewed that appeal
from him, and that as for those around
HIM, nc might say to the gentleman from
Massachusetts, 1T tn, Brute
Mr.. COVODE approved of Mr.. Buffers
substitute, and mentioned, as reason for
his position, that out of cavalry company
raised in his district, and known as the
Covode company, twenty were starved
to death at Andersonville, and that out OF
ls6 men Of the same regiment who were
captured when Meade fell back at Centre
vile, LAP were starved to death at Ander-
sonville. Among the number was his
youngest son, who suffered the torments of
the damned for twenty months at Ander-
sonvile, while his oldest son fell at the
head of his regiment, with Sheridan, near
Richmond.
Mr.. MUNGEN supported the measure
in brief but pointed speech.
Mr.. DONNELLY made another appeal
to the House to pass the bill.
On motion of Mr.. WOODBRIDGE, the
committee rose without disposing OF the
bill.

CHILDREN IN SEARCH OF THEIR FATHER
In the steamer from the eastern shore OF
Virginia which came up yesterday were
two children-a little girl of about four
years, and boy about two-put on board
as the boat was leaving. The captain was
told that their mother was burned to
death about the close of the war, and
that their father was in Baltimore, and
would call for them. No one appearing
to claim them, the children were sent tc
the office of the police marshal yesterday
afternoon. Marshal Van Nostrand, after
attending to their immediate wants, sent
them to his residence, where they will
be properly cared for for the present
The eldest of the children appears to be
quite intelligent. They are fine, healthy
looking children. Whilst at the office,
new shoes were furnished them, and the
little girl could scarcely walk with them
showing that she had evidently not been
used to anything of the kind.-BaltinOrt

SENATOR WADE.-In the utterance OF
secession doctrine, Ben Wade has not been
found wanting, and Congress should exer-
else care in framing test oathS, lest they
enact one which the president Of the
Senate could not take without choking,
says the National Republican. In 1860, in
the Senate of the United State, Mr.. Wade
declared, when abiding to the then
threatened action of the southern States
81 am not one of those who would ask
them to continue in such Union. We
have adopted the old Declaration Of In
dependence as the basis of our political
movements, which declares that men,
when their government ceases to protect
their rights when it is so subverted from
the true purposes of government as to OPP
press them, have the right to recur to
fundamental principles, and, if need be,
destroy the government under which they
live, and to erect on its ruins another
more conducive to their welfare. | hold
that they have this right 1rheneUer they
think that this contingency has come.
"You cannot forcibly hold men in this
Union; for the attempt to do so, it seems
to me, would subvert the first principles OF
the Government under which we i've"
Now, was not that language unmis-
takably calculated to give aid, counsel, or
encouragement TO the secessionlsts! In
framing iron-clad oaths, it may become
necessary to provide an exception for
Senator Wade.

WHAT THE VIRGINIA STATE SENATORS
DID.-Additions have been made to the
Virginia delegations Of members of the
Legislature which have been here several
days, and the object of the mission has so
far succeeded that the Senate Military
Committee have made certain slight
amendments to the supplementary mill
tary bill which passed the House yester.
day, and the amended bill will be offered
in the Senate tomorrow. 1t will doubtless
pass that body without delay, and 1t Is
hoped that the bill will be ready for the
Presidents action on Thursday. 1t is be-
lieved by some that as this act is simply
to supply certain machinery to facilitate
the execution of the previous bill, which
became law without the Presidents
sanction, that he can have no motive IN
vetoing it except vindictiveness. Others
contend that he will either return the bill
at once without his approval, or allow 1t to
become law by constitutional limit. In
the latter case, Congress will not adjourn
before next Saturday Washington

BANKRUPT ACT OFFICIALs.-Chief JUS
tice Chase is already overwhelmed by
applications for appointments as registers
under the bankrupt act. He will not APP
point any one until after the meeting of
the Supreme Court in April next. Where
several counties are embraced in one con-
gressional district, one register will pro-
baby be selected for each county, and
none will be appointed except lawyers
who stand at the head of their profession,
and all will be rigidly examined, as these
positions are regarded as of as much i'm
portance as that of United States district
Judge and the fees will be fixed by the
Supreme Court, so that the best attorneys
can afford to attend to it. Where there
are any number of persons who desire to
take the benefit of the law, the position OF
register will be very profitable.

WASHINGTON, March A.-HoUsE.-The
House adjourned at halfpast IL o'clock.
No business was done.
SENATE.-House bill suspending the act
relieving the Bouligny heirs was referred.
After other unimportant business the sup
elemental bill was resumed. An amend
ment providing that at the election for
delegates the vote of the people should be
taken as to whether they desired con-
vention or not, gave rise to an earnest de-
bate; the chief argument in its favor
oeing that such vote, If favoriDg conven-
tion' would make 1t constitutional. It was
opposed principally on account of its open
ing the door to delay and irregulsrity in
restoring the States to representation,
The debate indicated that majority con.
sidered early restoration of the States
vital to the financial interest of the coun.
try, and a matter too important for techni
cal trifing.
Mr.. Johnson doubted the long existence
of the Government with ten States out.
Mr.. Morton opposed allowing rebels t
say whether they desired convention.
The amendment was defeated: Yeas

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-In his paper
Of yesterday Forney says:
"The proposition to appropriate one
million Of dollars for the relief of the des-
titute people of the South gave rise to a
lengthy and animated debate in the House
yesterday. Curiously enough, it was OPP
posed by both Republicans and Democrats,
and supported by both. No final action
was taken. We trust the House will fol-
low the good example CT the Senate, and
pass this measure. a proposition to re-
lieve the destitute Of any section of the
country should not be mixed up with poll
tics. 1t is a simple question of humanity,
which appeals to every mans heart.
But the bill will probably be defeated,
for all that.

INTELLIGENT VoTERS.-ln the Senate,
Wednesday, Mr.. Wilson called up the joint
resolution introduced by him Tuesday i'll
relation to the settlement Of claims due to
colored soldiers, providing that the same
shall be paid through the Commissioner OF
Freedmens Affairs into the Freedmen'S
Saving aud Trust Company.
Mr.. Grimes objected to treating the
freedmen whom Congress had declared
capable of exercising the right of suffrage
as incompetent to receive money due
them from the Government.
Mr.. Wilson replied that it could not be
gainsayed that there were numbers of men
engaged in plundering the colored
soldiers of the money they received
from the Government. The plan now
proposed was one agreed upon, after a
great deal of consultation, as the best
that could be devised for the protection OF
the colored men.
Mr.. Howe said the money was due to
individuals, and must be paid to them. If
they have not sense enough to take care
of it, they must choose aguardian and II
they have not sense enough to choose a
guardian, there ought to be tribunals APP
pointed to choose one for them. But no
tribunal was competent to choose guar
dams for a whole class or a whole race.
Mr.. Sherman objected to the resolution
because it proposed to make public de-
pository of the Freedmen's Trust Com
pany.
Mr. Henderson said he did not know how
it was with colored men elsewhere,
but he would guarantee for those of Mis-
souri, that they would take care Of them
selves.
After further debate the bill was, on
motion of Mr.. Henderson, recommitted to
the Military Committee.

ARREST OF SUPPOSED HORSE THIEVES
ONE OF THEM SHoT.-We learn that two
men, supposed to be horse thieves, were
arrested at Chalk Level, in Pittsylvania
county, on Monday last, the llth instant.
They gave their names as Lucan B. Baird
and Lorenzo V. Saunders, and represent
themselves to be residents Of Scottsville,
in Albemarle county. Baird resisted his
arrest desperately, and had to be shot be-
fore he would surrender. His wounds are
not dangerous. After their arrest they
were taken before two magistrates, who
committed them to Jail for examination.
These parties are believed to have COM
mitted various horse-theftS, and one of
them, Baird, is recognized by the descrip-
ton as the person who stole horses from
Mr.. Patterson, of Augusta, and Mr.. Tim
berlakc, of Albemarle. At the time of
their arrest they had in their possession
bay horse and Il bay mare, both of which
are supposed to have been stolen.-Lych-

THE GOLD OF THE RICHMOND BANKS
Treasurer Spinner's custody of the gold
belonging to the Richmond banks is likely
to prove irksome to him. A party from
New Orleans now claim the gold, and
visited the treasury to-day in the hope of
being able to carry it away with them.
Failing to annihilate the treasurer and OBJ
tain the gold, they asked to see it, In order
that they might identify it but they were
assured that If they could not describe the
coin without seeing it, they could not de-
