(R ), introduced a bill to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the publiclands of the United States for educational purposes The bill requiring Supervisors of Internal Revenueto be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, was reported adversely; and the bill relative to the refining of gold and silver bullion of thelintsUnited States at the mint and branches, favorablyMr. CAMERON, of Pa. (R), offeree* a resolution dlrecth g the Military Committee to suggest some appropriate testimonial in honor of the volunteers of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, who, on the 18th of April, 1861, marched through the city of Baltimore to defend the Capital, they being the first troops who responded to the first war proclamation of the President of the United States. .. .Mr. THURMAN objected giving all the credit to Pennsylvania and Massachusetts In view of the immediate enlistment of thousands In Ohio and other Western States, in his own town more than 2,000 men being In camp within three days aftor proclamation. His friend at his side (Warner), on the 2d day after the proclamation, reported a full company at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio.Mr. Cameron replied that no such camp existed. He held that the services of those Pennsylvania and Massachusetts men were more important to the Government than those men enlisting at home, because they were here to defend the capital from attack; therefore they should receive some fitting testimonial.Mr. MORTON said the proclamation was respondedto as promptly in Indiana and other Western States,structlng the Committee on Freedmetis’ Affairs toexamine and report whether Gen. Howard has man-abed the funds intrusted to him as Commissioner with integrity, and whether all the money appropriated for and received by the bureau has not been diverted to other purposes than those directed by law, with authority to send lor persons and papers.Mr. MAYNARD, of Tenn. (R-), raised the question of order whether unanimous consent to make a personal explanation extended to permission to offerresolutions.The SPEAKER rcplted that it did not.Mr. MAYNARD objected to the resolution being offered.Mr. WOOD said he selected for investigation a committee composed entirely of Republicans, and hedoubted whether the gentleman from Tennesseewould take the personal and political responsibility of keeping out the resolution.Mr. MAYNARD said he would take that reaponsi-(as anywhere else. To be accurate, the resolution should be confined to a simple statement of the arrival of these men in Washington. After further remarks eulogistic of the promptness and.spirit with which their States bad responded at the outhretk of the rebellion by Messrs. Conkliag, Fenton, Trumbull, Stockton, Pomeroy and Ramsey, Mr. Saulsbury, of Dei. (D.), moved to strike out the reference to the President’s proclamation, remarking that the precise object of tbelr services was to suppress powerful combinations which had arisen in the States.Mr. STOCKTON, of N. J. (D.), moved to include the New Jersey volunteers, who organised the first brigade near Washington.On motion of Mr. SHERMAN, of Ohio (R ), the whole subject was referred to the Military Committee.At 1:30 the Georgia bill was taken up, aud Mr. SUMNER, of Massachusetts (R ), addressed the Senate at length against the Bingham amendment as an engine of rebel power supported by technicalities, and upon the power of Congress to enter into a State and establish a republican government.Mr. CARPENTER, of Wla. (R), said the 8eoatof from Massachusetts would find a justification tor his peculiar views, either in the Constitution in the moregeneral tcope of the Declaration of independence or in the sublime indefiniteness of E Eluritnu Uautn. This being a government of delegated powers, he held that the burden was upon the advocates of uuusual power on the part or Congress to show that the authority for the exercise of such power existed. He was unable to find such authority In the Constitution, and proceeded to srgue at length against the validity of the funda-■mental conditions upon a State, quoting from the pre-Drake, Jvlous arguments by Messrs. Drake, Edmunds and Morton against their constitutionality. He was infhvor of keeping Georgia out ot the Uuton until orderillitvand tranquillity were established within her borders, and it was felt that the Government could safelystead of declarin which would oneIer admn conditionstrust her with the rights and privileges of a State in-itted upomen would one day be proven utterly Mr. COLE, of California (R.), moved anupoibe proven utterly worth!executivesession.Mr. POMEROY, of Kansas (R ), desired to havean understanding that the vote be taken at 1 o’clockto-morrow,Mr. DRAKE objected.The Senate went Into executive session, and qn hour afterward adjourned.f HOUSE.Bills were introduced and referred granting the Evansville A Southern Illinois Railroad *)ompany the right to build a bridge accross the Big Wabash river; amendatory of the act of July 27,1868, to protect the rights of actual settlers on public lands.gnis oi actual seuiera on piThe bill which was up in the morning hour lastThursday, in reference to the Bureau of Education and discontinuing tha Freedmen’s Bureau, waa taken up and passed—yeas, 104; nays, 61.Mr. McNEELEY, of Illinois (I).), moved to amend the title by striking out the word “discontinuing” and substituting the word “perpetuating.” so as to mate It read “perpetuating the Freed men’s Bureau.”Rcjectjpr i.Mr. HOAR, of Mass.

(R.), had moved toofamend by reducing it to 2%. Mr. ALLISON withdrew the amendment. -v -Mr. SCBENCK, of Ohio (R.), argued the necessityof a distinction between raw and refined sugars.Mr. ALLISON argued that a difference of 2 cents per pound between raw aud refined sugars wa* too great. It took 125 pounds of raw sugar to make 100 pounds of refined ; 2y% cents a pound on the latter would, therefore, be equal to 2 cents on the formerMr. MARSHALL, ot III. (D ), did not approve the sugar classification contained in the bill.Mr. SCHENCK defended the action of the Committee on Ways and Mears.Mr. KERR, of Iod. (D.), said the classification of sugar in the bill was not ail In the interest of consumers but of refiners, and the law as at prescat existing was better both for the people and the Government. “=*After further discussion by Messrs. Wood, Sheldon, Lynch, Kelley Burchard, Judd, Paiue and others. Mr. ALLISON renewed his amendment to reduce tbe duty on clarified sugars to 2}*£c. per pound, and tbe amendment was agreed to—67 to 65.Mr. SCHENCK moved a substitute tor the next paragraph taxing refined sugar 4c. per pound.
