While by the other party it was not said that in any event or I on sny condition they ever would consent to re-1 union, ma yri inrjf C'uawy vmuitu 10 urctarr I Aaf they iceaia so consent. Here we have Mr. Lwcol-h's version of the conference. The reUl commwioners did not sav thaf thev would never consent to return to tbe union, bot they sl.-o omitted to iy that tbey would so consent. This is Pre-ident Liscol 's view, and a very muddy on? it is. Now let us tee what were the conditions which Mr. Liscols imDosed upon their return to the anion, and which his Secretary Sewakd "in sistei" npon.' They sre thus explicitly stated by Mr. L. himself : . . "Executive Mansion. ) Wa'-uisgton, Jar 31, ISC5.( Hon. Wm II. Seward, Secretary of State: You will proceed to Fortrc? Monroe, Vs. there to meet and informally confer with Me? Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell, on the bat-is of my letter to F. P. Jllair, L-q , of January 15. a copy of which you have. You will make known to tbem that three things are indispensable, to wit: First, the restoration of the national au thority throughout si! the states; second, no re ceding by the executivo of the United States on the slavery question from the position assumed thereon in the late annual message to rongrcs and in the preceding document?; no cessation ot hostilities short of so end of the war and the diobanding of all the forces hostile to the gov ernment, i ou will inform them thtt all propo sitions of theirs not inconsistent with the above. trill be considered and passed upon in a spirit ot sincere liberality. . You will hear all they mv choose to sav, and report it to me. You will not assume to definitely consummate anjthing Yours, &c, v Aseaiiau Liscol." Here we have tili whole story. Mr. Lincoln befort Seward left "Washiceton to meet tbe re-1 hsl commissioners, gave him instructions as to .... , , ... the terms on which the -outhcrn people might return to tbe anion, and these terms were just I the ones which he knew would not be accepted, vix: The abolition of slavery by the tooth, snd . submission to the conditions of his last snnual message and the emancipation proclamations which he very cnocently calls the preceding doenments." Mr. Liscoix having made his conditions, snd "insisted" upon them, as he says, thert was certainly but little room for tbe rebels to say much. Xeed the country be grestlv sur- . , , i prised lhat the conference ended without re- sultsf He professed to meet these southern commissioner! to heal the bleeding wounds of the north and south; but, like an unskillful ear ' ' geon, be first probes and lacerates the very place which has given pain and energy to the people of the states in rebellion. . ... . -i v . i Tbe president seems to have but one rcmedv i u uw.ucii niuii nuiwi for the ailments of the nation, and that Is tbe detraction of domestic sluvecv in the south.

After voting for the amend ment of the Senator from Howard, 1 took occa sion to make inquiry of distinguished lawyer of our state, both republican and democratic, and 1 am assured by them thtt a law of that character would be unconstitutional, and believing that it is our duty to make our legislation conform to the requirements ot the constitution of our state. 1 therefore move to reconsider the vote of the Senate adopting the amendment of the Senator from Howard eieinptiug certain property frora the payment of tbe tax contemplated in the bill legalizing tbe issuing of county bonds. Mr. Williams asked that tbe vote be reconsid ered and that tbe Senate pass the bill as it came from tbe Uou?e, with one pimple amendment, and let it become a law as coon as possible.

Mr. O.tler uudertook to say that so far a bis information was concerned tbe soldiers do not ask us to tax them (as was proposed iu this bill,) to provide ways and means to keep others out of the army. This amendment does cot propose to exempt a solitary man from taxation, but pro vides that the tax collector shall receipt to those who have been or are now in tbe field for service and labor performed to tho amount of their tax as assessed in this bill.

In tbe stairs of cations. roo lAT. Senatt amendmeati to Mr. Shoal?, of Allen's. dog bill, f. were severslly concurred in. school irtt rrcuLCEiia. Mr. Gregory, of Warren, called for the special order, Houvs bill 17? the common school bill. Agreed to. Sundry amendments were considered and dis posed of one way or the other. Air. CcSrotn a motion, submitted some ctjs ago. to insert ice word " wnits Delore tbe word "children," wherever it occurs in the bill, came up That gentleman insisted that the children cf mulattces and negroes were cot entitled to beoefiu under tbe bill. Tbe vote on his motion was as follows: Ate Messrs. Abbett, Banta, Bird, Bovd. Burton, Burwell, Buskirk, CoSVotb.Cock.Croan, Crook, Emerson, Ferris, Foulke, Goodman, Glazebrook, Gregg, Gregory of Montgomery, Gregory of Warren, Griffith, Groves, Haaorick, Hargrove, Harrison.

Roach, ShoafiTot Allen. ShoafT of Jay, Spencer, Stenger, Stivers, Siringer, Thacher. Upson, Veacb, Welch, White, Whiteside, Woodruff, Wright, Mr. Speaker 64 Noes Messrs. Atkinson, Bonner. Barne, Chambers, Church. Cox, Henrich, Higgins.Ho gate, Johnson, Kilgore, Lockbart, Reese, Rhoads, Riford, Sabin, Sim, Trusler, Willis, Woods 2'J. Mr. Gregory, cf Warren, moved to strike out section 16?, which is to the effect that " teach ers in the common schools shall teach tbe prin ciples of tbe national and ctate governments so far as the same may be practicable, and shall in culcate in tbe minds of the people a love of country." The teachers would teach as they pleas-ed on this subject any bow. Mr. Brown and Mr. Spencer demanded the yeas and najs, Mr. Spencer saying that he de sired to get as good a echt ol bill as possible at this period ia the history of the state. Mr. Kilgore. Then you bad better let lhat section remain. Mr. Brown. Oh ! you teach that down iu Delaware, anyhow. Mr. Kilgore. They need it all the more down in Jackson. Finally Mr. Gregory's motion prevailed and the section was stricken out. Mr Higgins moved to strike out all section from 33 to 43, inclusive relative to the duties of school examiners. Mr. Higius said that his object in moving to strike out these sections was to get rid of grant ing additional powers to the school examiner as was contemplated by them. He was not will ing that the voice ol the people in euch vital matters ad those relating ti their schools should be overridden by the dictation, authority and ca price, it might be, of one man. Mr. Rhods opposed Mr. Higgins' motion and ! argued at length for the reten'ion of tbe sec tions. Mr. Brown argued for the retention of the school examiner. His was a very important of fice. If this law was to be passed he desired to hive it petfected previously as nearly as pos sible. Mr. Lane was decidedly opposed to striking out tba sections as proposed by Mr Uiggins. The examiner, if he was disposed to exercise his powerä arbitrarily, the trustee would hold him in check, He therefore most earnestly hoped that the friends of education would &taud by these sections and vote down the proposition of Mr. HiggiiiB. Messrs. Wiight, ColfYotb, Reed, Rhods and others pursued the debate.. Mr. Uiggina' amendment was lost. Mr. Miller of Clinton, Mr. Ollcmac, and Mr. Griffith argued an amendment proposed by the first named gentleman, allowing the school ex aminer $3 instead of $1 per d iy. The gentleman from Johnson and Morgan (Mr. Oilemnn) moved au amendment allowing the examiner $300 per annum Jor other servues than those for day. which he wa?tobe Paid S3 per Mr. Brown ra.)vej to tab.e all the amend ments. j Pending Mr. Brown's ruction, Messrs. Rhods, ' Spencer, aud Griffith pursued the argument. i The chair, sayicg that he had forgotten that a ! motion to lav on the table was not debatable, or ! it would hit e been sioppoi long ago, put the question. Mr. Brown's motion whh regatd to $300 per I year wascirried. j Mr. Brown' motion to table the amendment i substtUiting $3 for $4 per diy wis lost. ! Mr. Speucer offered an a mend merit to the 73th section Mr. Howard offered an amendment to the amendment, which was nci-epled by Mr. Spencer, j and disposed of. Loet. Mr. Hogate offered an amendmcit to the effect that this law t-hnll go into force aft r its publica- lion, iriMcaa oi irom ana aucr u pissage. Mr. Coffroth suggested that the emergency clause had better be retained and the proper state officer be instiueted to print a sufficient number of copies for state circulation. Mr. Hogate accepted the amendment and it carried. Mr. Newcomb offered a verbal amendment. Mr. Harrison an amendment in amendment Both disposed of. Mr. Spencer demanded the previous question. Seconded by Messrs. Gregory, Rhods and twenty other. Put ; the bill considered : read the third time and passed yeas 76, nays 10 Messrs.

Mr. Speaker ordered the doors c!o?ed, and di rected the officers to proceed as speedily as pos sible after the absentees. Mr. Whiteside moved that the doorkeeper be instructed to ue discretion and not arret, unles as a la?t reor, members at the theatre with their wives. Mr. Newcom moved in amendment that members in company with other mea 'a wives should not be arrested, either, un!e in case cf emergency. Mr. Whiteside indignantly responded that it was to be taken presumptively that every mem ber of tbis honorable houe was at the theitie with his own wife, and not with any other manV. Some honorable gentleman remarked that he had ppent fifty Cents nightly to go into tbe the iter, and he had frequently seen honor able members there with other honorable gen tlemen's pmners ot their bosom. Mr. Speaker ordered all debate acd iuter'ocu toriei to be suspended until the doorkeeper re ported aa to absentee. Mr. Hxcirs, sayinc that he hd been informed by the doorkeeper that he hid discovered that most of the ab-entees wete at the'theiter and arour.d at the public bou?es, and tbey could not be cot here, and he therefore moved we adjourn.
