much to be said in favor of their heroisn,
| Of their Anglo-Saxon, native American
pluck, of the wonderful resources they had
! exhibited. He desired TO have them
| welcomed back, SO that in case of foreign
war they would along side of the people Of
! the North fight in the common defense Of our
/ country.
He had felt proud Of their herois,n, and
he had felt proud Of the generous terms
| accorded to them at Appomatox Courthouse
by the General Of the army, and he only
wished that distinguished officer was as
generous now as then; that he were less of
a politician, and more a General He
wished such generosity could be exhibited
TO the people Of the South that the Gov
eminent could safely calculate on aid of
their half million rifles in any war it might
be engaged in against England, France or
Spain.
There was no self-governfnent South
More had been imposed on that people
than had been imposed by any civil people
on any people, or any subjugated nation.
They had been robbed of self-government;
military had been placed over them; their
States had been recognized by force, and
they had been made the slaves Of slaves.
Was not that punishment enough? Was
not that revenge enough? Had not the
amplest desire of punishment been graft
fed? Re applied to the House to rise to
the magnitude of occasion, and throw wide
open doors Of pardon.
Mr.. Beck, while agreeing with his friend
from New York as to propriety Of passing
General Amnesty bill, expressing surprise
as hearing him say he would vote against
this bill; for his part he would vote for
every bill removing disabilities of any
person.
Mr.. Voorhees, concurred with his friend
from New York, and hoped that the day of
the PRONUNCIATION of a general amnesty
bill was not far distant.
Mr.. Farnsworth expasssed like senti-
meuts.
Thc Narragansett
Mr.. Maynard moved to strike ont the
names of Brown, McKennon, Wight, |
Thomas and bennington, of Tennessee.
Mr.. Maynard's amendment was rejected |
and Whittemore's adopted, the bill then |
passsd by the necessary two-thirds major |

TO ExPeI NhiGteIn0rc.
Mr. Logan, from the Committee on NIL
tary Affairs, on the subject Of Cadetships, /
reported that the Committee had taken /
testimony in the case of B. F. Whittemore, /
Member Of Congress from the 1st District
Of South Carolina, which testimony
.0Sether with statements made
% the committee by Mr.. Whittemore in ex-
;ulpation of himself he submitted to the
House Committee, having carefully con-
iidered the same, had concluded that in
making appointments to the military and
naval academies from the district repre-
ented5Ly him (B T. Whittemore) had been
by improper considerations,
md therefore submitted the following reso-
ution:
Resolved. That b. T. Whittemore, Rep
esentative in Congress from ths-First Dis
rict Of South Carolina, be and is hereby
expelled from his seat as a member of the
louise Of Representatives in the Forty-Grst
congress.
The testimony against Mir. Whittemore
5 very damaging. 1t shows that he offered
o get cadet appointments for sums vary
ng from $500 to 50, 900.

in the assessment and the public notice re
I quired, was much less liable to abuse thar
the power of taxing privileges. In every
instance prior to the law in question the
| privilege tax was enforced only by direct
collection Of the tax, and by penalties and
| forfeltures to be collected off of the Offend
ing parties through the regular courts, by
| Jury trial
Ii when the taxing power Of the Govern
ment was so lightly used and the demands
OF the State upon Its people were but pit
lance as was the case heretofore, SO much
care was used to guard the citizen from
undue exactions and unlawful depriyations
OF property, how should the matter now
stand when the taxing power is welded
with heavy hand and the public dues
have become oppressive burthens to tho
people?
The power granted by the Constitution
to the Legislature ''to tax merchants, ped
dlers and privileges in such manner as thew
may from time to time direct is a fearful
one and greatly liable to abuse. A sum-
mary assessment and collection of such
taxes when levied is all that can be asked
all that can be justified by custom or prece-
dent.
Shall our Legislature be permitted to
elothe a mere clerk, person unlearned in
the law, and frequently arbitrary and pre-
sumptuous, not only with the power to
assess and summarily collect such tax
from our merchants, frequently amounting
to thousands of dollars, but also empower
him to SIT in Judgment, and without notice.
without trial and without Jury, decide upon
Infraetions of the law, and infiict heavy and
ruInous penalties, and forthwith collect
them by this sharp, severe and summary
process! Such a law is unwarranted BY
precedent and custom, not demanded by
public necessity, is hostile to the spirit and
genius Of our institutions, IS unconstitu-
1onal and legislative usurpation, and be- |
ing usurpation, should share the fate Of |
other usurpations."
The court, therefore, declares the said
aw unconstitutional and void, and over
rules the defendants motion to dismiss the
petition.
