or enrollment, or trust in the Government, such property to be applied to restore to Union men in rebel States any losses they may have suffered. In the House, ex-Congressman Bull, of Ohio, was elected Sergeant-at-Arms; Hiram E. Goodenow, of New York, Doorkeeper; T. H. Stockton, Chaplain, and Wm. S. King, of Minnesota, Postmaster. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, offered a resolution that the name of Stirling Morton be substituted for that of Samuel B. Daly, as the delegate from Nebraska Territory. He said that Mr. Morton had been elected to the position he claimed in October last, and received his commission according to law from the Governor. Six months later, or in April last, the Governor pretended to have discovered an error in the returns, by which Mr. Daly was chosen, and he revoked the commission previously issued to Mr. Morton. This act of Governor Black, he contended, was a gross usurpation of power — a usurpation of the constitutional privileges of this body.
