he made this assertion in response to the ef-
fort now being made to have the senate de-
clare that there was no difference between the
parties to the war. Replying to Voorhees,
denial that the war was waged for universal
liberty, he said that while congress and the
president. representing the loyal sentiment of
the country, were anxious to see peace re-
stored, even though slavery remained, the is.
sue that shook the continent and world was one
between human liberty and human bondage.
Hs,depicted the growth OF the anti-sIavery
sentiment Of the country. Congress meant
to kill slavery in it's own way when it said
slavery might live II the rebels came back,
and 1t should have SO sale 10 the south. The
song OF ''John Browns Body was not mere
sentiment, and when, in the spring of 1864,
after much faitering, the issue was .squarely
power. It's triumph was then but question
OF time, for he knew from the temper of the
comrades who then surrounded him that
they had but begun to fight and but begun
to die.
The hour Off arriving, Hawley was allowed
to continue by unanimous consent. He de-
Tended the wisdom of reconstruction legisla-
ton, and said he would put the question to
the bravest Of the confederate soldiers now in
ley), by his vote, to admit that those who
framed that Liquidation were wrong.
Butler denied that any such admission had
been asked for or suggested.
iHawley commended that it had virtually been
asked for BY the appeals made In debate.
Butler said he regarded the argument as
unanswerable, and that the senator from Con-
necticut had lashed himself into fury with
out the slightest pr0vocati0n.
-Hawley replied that on the contrary he had
never spoken with more care and elaboration,
end proceeded to quote expressions In the de-
bate to verify his assertion that the particular
statement referred to had been denounced as
wrong. unjust and ungenerous. He was dis
posed to favor any carefully prepared repeal
Of restrictive measures, based upon the con-
eidefation that time, with its mellowing in
naences, had dissipated their necessity, but he
would never vote upon the assumption that
such measure ought never to have existed.
I Upon the close OF Hawley's remarks the
bill went over until tomorrow, and the gal
lcries which had been more than usually full,
rapidly thinned out.
The bill to create court OF appeals then
came up az unfinished business, and its con-
sideration occupied the remainder Of the day
without action. 44
The committee amendment in regard to ap-
pealsI in patent and copyright cases was re-
leaves the Jurisdiction Of the supreme court
in such cases az at present without regard to
the amendment in controversy. The remain
ing amendments OF the judiciary committee
were agreed to.
/ Garland moved an amendment providing
that appeals in writs of error to the supreme
court, taken before the passage of the act,
shall not be affected by it. Adopted.
1 Allison moved an amendment making pro-
vision for the payment Of mileage and ex-
penses applicable to district and circuit judges
alike. Adopted
| Butler moved an amendment requiring
judges to be transferred from one circuit to
another under the rules of the supreme
court. In explaining it, he remarked
lit would have the effect incidentally
Of enabling certain localities to get rid of un-
worthy judges. In this connection he ex-
pressed the opinion that the Judge in the cir
cult in which he lBntler9 lived. was utterly
UNFIT to discharge his duties. and some of his
acts were q disgrace to American citizenship.
gIngalls said he did not know of what the
senator from South Carolina complained IN
leAS il was the recent rulings in the election
cases In that state.
The testimony in these cases, if true, dis.
closed much greater disgrace to American
citizenship than had ever before been perpe.
trated on this continent. He wanted the fact,
Of the senator {Butler,) was to avoid the ad-
ministration Of Judge obnoxious to the PEG.
| pie of his state.
Butler sarcastically reioined that he &C.
knowledged the superiority Of Ingalls, facili-
ties over his own for acquiring information
concerning the events transpiring in South
Carolina, but he thought he would be able to de.
monstrate at the proper time that certain cir
cult judge had been guilty Of conduct that was
disgraceful to American jurisprudence, not
withstanding the opinion OF the senator from
Kansas.
Sherman asked whether the reference now
made was to Judge Bond.
Butler replied af1irmatively.
The amendment was rejected. Yeas, II;
nays, SO.
Butler offered two additional amendments
FirstcThat after the establishment OF
courts Of appeal, no appointments to the SD
preme bench shall be made until the number
of the court is reduced to six.

those OF revenue and admiralty, or those Of

requiring their prosecution to be by ineict-
ment and presentation OF grand jury, etc.
Both amendments were voted down.
