amid much confusion.
GRANTS LAST WORDS.
"Go," continued Mr.. Wise, ''read the
speech OF Charles sumner, Of Massachu-
setts. If I mistake not he was the first in
the country who declared, some l5 years
ago, that the time had come for peace,
and that the bitter memories of the war
should berem0ved; and mark the contrast
between the leader Of the Federal army
and the gentleman from Maine. The last
words spoken by that great leader on his
dying bed at Mt. McGregOr were that he
thanked God that he closed his eyes on
the world believing that peace had re-
turned TO a distracted country. IAp-
plause on the Democratic side.
BACKBITERs DENOUNCED.
''And yet, and yet, the halls of legisla-

word more to him. While we sit here and
vote pensions 90 ouT soldiers"

"Yes," replied Mr.. Wise; sour soldiers.
We are IN the house of our fathers, and
we have come to stay. Applause on the
Democratic side. While we are ready
and willing to vote pensions to hOnOrablv
discharged soldiers who served their
country in time of war, We will never
consent that it shall be held and pro-
claimed on hign that one VINO happened
to have been in the Confederate army is
forever disbarred from the service Of his
country.
MAHONE's CIRCULAR.
81 protest that these honorable soldiers
of the Union army shall never a4ain be
subjected u the treatment they were sub
jected to under the last administration,
when men who had fought bravely for
the Union under a circular bearing the
name OF william Malone as chairman,
and James ID. Brady, a present member
Of this House, as secretary"
"There was no such circular" inter
rupted Mr.. Brady. 81 challenge him to
produce the circular
'W hen.' continued Mr.. Wise, not heed
ing the interruption, "they were required
under the whip Of the master - give
money for partisan purposes; required,
like slaves, to hold their ballots up thst
their bosses minlOns might see whether
they voted riRht. Oh! what an attitude
in which TO place a discharged soldier OF
the Union, under the whip and lash Of a
Confederate brigadlcr." Loud and con-
tinued applause on the Democratic side
and in the galleries. AT this point the
Speaker brought down his gavel and
declared that Mr.. WIso's time had ex-
