Congressional Southern Relief —Debate in
the House on the Senate Bill.
In the Hon e of Representatives, on Wednes
day last, the Senate’s joint resolution for the
relief of the destitute in the Southern aud
Southwestern States—directing the Secretary of
War to issue supplies of food sufficient to pre
vent starvation and extreme want among the
people of all classes, and appropriating one
milliou of dollars for that purpose—came up :
Mr. Fernando Wood opposed the bill, for two
reasons: First, because he was opposed to Hie
distribution of alms by the Government; and
secondly, because he was satisfied, from recent
observation iu that region, that there was no
such destitution there as required this measure.
The people there required nothing from the
North except protection tor their civil rights,
and Northern capital to develop their industry.
Mr. Williams, of Indiana, opposed the joint
resolution, because the charity of the Govern
ment could lie better applied to the widows and
orphans of the North, made such by the rebels'.
If any were to suffer from destitution, let it be,
said lie, the disloyal, and let God Almighty
populate that country with people loyal to the
flag.
• Mr. Donnelly advocated the measure as a
measure of reconstruction and calculated to al
lay ill feeling. He believed it would extend
into regions where no other agency favorable to
the Government could reach-
Mr. Kelly also advocated the measure as one
which would say to the poor people of the
South that while the Government would re
strain those wlio had done them wrong, they
themselves should not suffer from want if the
Government could relieve them.
Mr. Banks offered an amendment, setting
aside §50,000 of the amount lor the distribution
of seeds among the destitute of the South by
the Commissioner of flic Freedmen’s Bureau.
Mr. Miller moved to amend Ilia nmcdnment
by making the amount §75,000, and spoke iu
support, of it.
Mr. Chanler denounced the measure as being
designed, not to aid the poor people of the
South, but to keep up the Freedinen’s Bureau.
He characterized it as a black wolf iu sheep’s
clothing, and as purely a political measure, con
ceived in no-good spirit.
Mr. Boyer trusted the hill would pass prompt
ly, and by a large vote. lie referred to the
vote by the British Parliament, twenty years
ago, of fitly millions of dollars for the relief ol
the starving people .of Ireland, white here it
■was proposed to appropriate only one-fiftietli
part of that amount for the relief of the starv
ing people of the South. If gentlemen on his
side of the House objected to the Freedmen’s
Bureau us a means of distribution, it should be
recollected that that was the most available
means at hand for that purpose. If more mo
ney were required, he would vote for It. If
this measure were not passed, he did not wish
to hear any more resolutions of sympathy for
the people” of Ireland from the gentleman from
New York (Mr. Wood) or anybody else. In
reply to a question from Mr. Wood, hedeclared
that file analogy between the people of Ireland
and the people of the South was complete.—
Both were suffering under political persecution
as well as under material necessities. He had
not expeeted to hear any opposition to the hill
from, his own 6ide of the House. He had
thought it was a sort of test question to see
whether the majority of the House had not un
dergone complete ossification of the heart.
Mr. Chanler, replying to Mr. Boyer’s criti
cism on his position, remarked that he (Mr.
Boyer) had discovered the proper term for his
own disease —ossification, not ol the heart, but
pf the braiu.
* — ■” in—ll mm ■■ ■■■■ I -■■■ ■ -IT
{Eri-tDcchlg Constitutionalist,
Mr. Boyer retorted that Mr. Chnnler would
never suffer from that disease. In his case the
disease would be, not ossification, but softening
ot the brain.
Mr. Chanler remarked, tliat wlmtever intelli
gence he had would not lie exercised in niis
reprentintt his friends.
Mr. Boyer said that as he had'unintentionally
misrepresented Mr. Ohanier, he, asked his par
don, and trusted he would always understand
him better hereafter.
Mr. Butler offered a substitute, which was to
strike out, all after the enacting words, and in
sert a provision appropriating one million dol
lars, to be expended under the direction of the
Secretary of War, in relieving the widows and
children of Union soldiers starved to death in
the rebel prisons of Andersonville, Salisbury,
Libby, Milieu and Belle Isle.
He declared that he bclived in the principle
of being just before being generous, and that
until the Government was able to make some
provisions for those to whom his substitute al
luded, lie was not for pnlting his hand into the
pocket, of the already overtaxed North in order
to he generous to the untaxed South. He had
supplied, for many months, in New Orleans,
food to the starving wives and children of rebel
soldiers, but in order to do so he had not
drawn a dollar from the Government, but had
taxed the rich of the South to feed the poor of
the South ; and he wan still willing to go as far
as the farthest in that direction.
In opposing this measure lie referred to the
recent appropriation by the Mississippi Legis
lature of $’30,000 for the defense of Jefferson
Davis in a trial that would never take place.
.Mr. Boyer asked Mr. Butler whether he
thought that a reason for denying aid to starv
ing women and children.
Mr. Butler replied that the Government could
only deal with people as communities, not as
individuals.
Mr. Boyer put the question iu another way :
Whether the poor people of Georgia should be
made to suffer on account of the political action
of Mississippi.
Mr. Butler replied : By no means; adding,
that if Mississippi had been alone in such mani
festation, he would be content (o deprive that
Stalin of any benefits under the bill.. The ladies
of Texas had recently sold a large quantity of
Confederate uniforms, and what had they done
vyitb the proceeds ? Had they devoted them
to relieve the poor in their midst ? No ; but
they had seut the amount as an endowment to
the college over which General It. E. Lee pre
sided. lie had also noticed the present of a
pair of game chickens to Robert E. Lee, and
thought it would have been better to have
boiled them tor some of the starving children
about whom gentlemen appeared so anxious.
[Laughter.] He wished to let the people of
the South know that as long as they followed
itku who had led them to destruction, destruc
tion could only be the result ; that they should
repudiate thcir-old lenders, and, by a course of
legislation which would divide the land among
all the people, obtaiu relief.
Mr. Logan opposed the measure, regarding it
as nothing more than a side dodge toward pen
sioning the one-armed and one-legged rebel
soldiers and the widows of rebel soldiers. If
Congress was to be converted into a charitable
institution to support a class of people who
would not support themselves, it might expect
to be called upon to appropriate a million of
dollars every month ; and even that would not
be sufficient. If charity was to be dispensed
by the Government, let it not heconfiued to one
portion of the country. Let not Congress be
urged to put its hands iu the Treasury for the
purpose of fostering treason in the Southern
States —for that was really all that this measure
meant, although not so intended by the Com
missioner of the Frcedmen’s Bureau.
Mr. Bingham had hoped that, this hill would
not have met any opposition in the House, par
ticularly on the Republican side of it. Ho trust
ed that so long as reason held a place in his
brain, lip should never forget that education and
charity were at last Hie chief defense of a na
tion. It was enough for him to know that
within the jurisdiction,#! the common Govern
ment of this country feittttn; were men and
women aud children KlarviiVgwand lifting up
their skinny lingers ami liuggagjjnro.s asking

•pi»ri«h forrVtfnl Afhrf'aci’within the limits of its
jurisdiction. If there was no constitutional
objection to the measure, he should think that
a man living iu the nineteenth century, in the
serene light of Christian civilization, would not
stop to inquire into the propriety of feeding
the poor. He would not slop to higgle .as to
whether the man famishing sit his door was his
friend or his enemy lie would not forget that
divine teaching of the Master —“if thine enemy
hunger, feed him ; if lie thirst, give him drink."
Let no mau stand on the forum of the people
and utter the horrid blasphemy that Congress
was not. to saw horn starvation the women and
children of the South. The crime of treason
was not on their heads. That was a true nt
teranee of the French exile, Victor Hugo, who,
gill liering children around him on the is and ot
Guernsey, said, “Little children at least are
sacred, for God wills it so."
Mr. Randall, In rising to advocate the joint
resolution, paid homage to the speech of Mr.
Bingham. It Was not his purpose to consider
the measure in any political mr party sense, but
from a higher and purer motive. Alluding to
an intimation made by Mr. Butler, that mem
bers believing in the principle of State rights
could not support this measure, he said tliat,,
lor himself, he spurned that appeal from him,
and that as for those around him, he might
say to the gentleman from Massachusetts, et tu
Unite.
Mr. Covode approved of Mr. Butler’s substi
tute, and mentioned as a reason for Isis position
that out of a cavalry company raised in his dis
trict, and known as the Covode company, twen
ty-four were starved to death at Andersonville,
and that out of one. hundred and Hlty-six men
of the same regiment, wiio were captured when
Meade fell back at Centreville, one tuindred and
forty-two were starved to death at Anderson
ville. Among the number was liis youngest
son, who suffered the torments of the damned
for twenty months at Andersonville} while his
oldest son fell at the head oi his regiment with
Sheridan near Richmond.
Mr. Mungeu supported the measure in a brief
but pointed speech.
Mr. Donnelly made auotber appeal to the
House to pass the bill.
On motion of Mr. Woodbridge, the commit
tee rose without disposing of the bill.
A minister of the North Carolina Methodist
Conference was a victim of the confidence
game, on the cars between Baltimore and An
uapolis Junction, on his receut return from a
visit to the former city. A person of gentle
manly appearance, resigning his own seat to
some ladies that came in, politely asked to share
that of the minister. Entering Into conversa
tion, he represented himself as a Charleston
merchant, on his way home with his purchases
as extra baggage. Soon after a clerkly looking
man appeared with hills of lading, and de
manded pay for the merchant’s extra baggage,
stating the amount at a considerable sum. The
latter produced a note of large amount, which
the clerk could not change. Then came the old
story. Would the clergyman oblige him by the
change ? He would return it as soon as he
could get his money broken, He thus got
seventy-five dollars— nearly all that the minis
ter had. Meantime the cars reached Annapolis
Junction, and just as they moved off again, the
merchant stepped out, and never stepped in
again I —Richmond Enquirer.
A crazy Second Adventist in Herkimer

the ox a few days ago died of a surfeit, the
owner having tint two days before refused §I,OOO

A French report says that M. Thiers has been

The Profits of this Concert wilt be given to the

“Wa, the officers of tlie Southern Orphan’s Asso
ciation for tbe maintenance and education of the desti
tute orphans of deceased Southern soldiers and sailors,
earnestly solicit the sympathy ami co-operation iu our
Grand Presentation Concert, of alt who desire to see
the 1 Tlorne aud School ’ enabled to receive and care
for all needy ones who seek its shelter and protection.
“Thanking our friends for their past contributions
and assistance, we again appeal to them to help us in
a mote extensive enterprise. It is the design of this
Association to erect a ‘ Home and School ’ for the or
phans of the South, both male and female, on an ex
tensive scale; in the city of Richmond, Va. As an in
ducement to have the building located there tbo Com
mon Council of that city have guaranteed ten acres ot
land, lu an elevated anil henlthful location, and will
increase the quantity of land if needed.
“It is with a cpntldent hope in a favorable response
to this appeal to a public which bas never yet failed to
sustain a charitable institution, that we have entered
into an arrangement with Messrs. L. T. PALMER A
CO., No. 13 HoMlday street, Baltimore, to organize a

It may seem unnecessary to add a sinrle .word to tlie
above address, but the calls upon the Ir st tntion have
been an nurruooua and pressing and the struggle
through which It is now passing to widen the circle of
its charities, is of such an rduou. n ature that the man
agement cannot too strongly urge upon the humane
and sympathetic everywhere, an active paiticipat>on
in this additional attempt to alleviate the sad condition
of great numbers of lie pless children, tendered thus
by the terrible war through which we have passed.—
And assuredly, whatever mav have beun the relative
pomtioal views of la.llfs “ml gentlemen heretofore,
all must agree that the children re'erred to could not,
by ony possibility, have i.tpi any agency in bringing
about their present deplorable and destitute condition,
and arc suitable objects for the charity of all persons
of whatever shade of political opinion. The ’• Home
and School" which they now, more particularly seek
to establish and endow, will be of incalcula le benefit
by providing not only food and raiment, but likewise
solid and thorough education thus qualifying them for
future usefulness to society at large, in order that this
appeal may be effectual in enlisting the active iDtcrest
and co operation of all classes of persons everywhere,
