He said that, in a case of necessity, he would arm the fugitives who came to the army, though there must be an urgent necessity for such a course.

Mr. Fessenden (Me.) moved to amend so that no further enlistments shall be made until the whole number of the army has been reduced to 500,000 rank and file; and the army shall not be increased beyond that number.

Doclittle and Trumbull objected to the provision of the bill which allows a bounty for enlistment from the volunteer to the regular army. Mr. Chandler (Mich.) said he also was opposed to any recruiting officer going to the Michigan regiments to induce them to leave their colors. All the fighting had, so far, been done by volunteers. Mr. Wilson (Mass.) did not consider that the measure would have any bad effect on the army, or the volunteers in any way. There were men in the volunteer ranks who wished to go into the regular army. But if the Senate was of the opinion that the effect would he bad, he would move to strike out the provision

Mr. Roscoe Conkling said this resolution was in the exact words of the President's recent special message. It related to a subject with regard to which nearly every member has made up his mind.
