C< INSTITUTIONALIST. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 20,1807. ttcaiiiii? Mailer oa Every Pa^o. 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 lor leave »«• ■ i uMpm4HM|Mi'oiM lie' in Gatfi, puhlisirfESgi in ib, Ms. is .of Asls.a ilist ai; iso'i' si jgOhgßSs sixty thousand -jpen, -»**>i»iaiaa am) chifdiMMM •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 county, N. Y., lias for ten years been feeding a big ox for a feast when Christ should appear, flu slaryed his other stock, and spent nearly all his property in purchasing food for that "ox ; the ox a few days ago died of a surfeit, the owner having tint two days before refused §I,OOO for the animal. A colored cook expected company of her own kin, and was at a loss how to entertain her friends. Her mistress said : “ Cbloe, you must make an apology.” “La ! Missus, how can I make it ?

Thiers has been asked whether he would object to take office in the event of the present French ministry being dismissed. M. Thiers is said to have relused very explicitly, but to have promised to sup port the Government, if its policy proved as liberal ns might be interred from the Emperor’s letter.
