That dog wasn't much on fighting, but waa good on paper collars, anil nornct unci had a wagon load at a time. Then he changed his name to Beecber, but inasmuch as the other dogs around town had no money, they couldn't pay him to hold service for them. But uu day "Brick" got mad with the dog ami called him Ben Butler ; he rather "wilted on the turn," but still he stood it. That dog im mediately had a fondness for silver xxns and other "conijurrei'l property." One day he stole the contribution boxes out of a church. The dog used to want to become an engraver. He would watch at the en gravers' w indows to wn the mime engraved on silver spoon, and then steal hmmi and all. He would look in the jewelry stores lor hours at a time, and would follow any nun with jewelry on him. He bail even known him to lollow a roltin for live or six in i lei, to steal the silver plate off it. (So finally he got disgusted with the dog, uinl turned hiin loose, and the ni rt thing "Brick" found be was sent to Congress from M ansae huselts. TUB NORTHWEST AN1 K.(! I A M.

The following is taken from the report of the proceedings of Congress on Tuesday, The report ol SUjvem.' speech ia from the Baltimore iluulttt; Mr. Stevens called up the hill introduced by htm some days ago, to confiscate the property ol rrlicls. The bill contain a preamble in the follow ing words : Wlrcrcas, it is due to justice, and aa example to tin nre times, that some proper punishment should l inflicted on the people who constituted the "Confeder ate Stale of America," tnrith lieceusft they occtareu aa unjust war against the I nited Stales lor the purpose ot desl roving repub lican lilwrty and permanently establishing slavery, ss well a lor the cruel and liarba roua manner in winch they conducted said war, invioh.tiou of all the laws of civilized warfare, and also oeomK'l them to make aomv compensation lor Ihe damage and ex penditures caused l.y the war, therefore, Ac. Section I enacts thst all public lands lie longin to Ihe ten Slates that loitned the Oovernnient ol the Confederate States shall he lorfeilc-it mid lsine the roMarty ol the l ulled Mates. Section S requires the President to pro ceei I forthwith to cause the seizure ot all property belonging to the lielligerent enemy deemed lorleil.l l.y the act ol July 17, 1862, and hold and appropriate the same as en emy's property, and to proceed to the con demnation ot that already seized.

Section 4 provide that out ol the lands thus seized and confiscated, the slaves who have heeii liln rated hy the ooL-ration ol the war and the aun-lidiiu-nt to the Constitution or otherwise, who resided in said Confeder ate Slates on March 4th, 1HI, or since, shall have have distributed to them as fol lows, viz: 4(1 in res to each adult male who is the head of a family;- 40 acres to each adult male, whether the head of a family or not, and 40 ai res to each widow w ho is the In a I ol a family, to lie held by them in fee simple, I .nt i.inbcnuhlc for the in i ten years after they become seized thcriol.

The title to the home stead atorusiUd shall be vested in trustees bir the use of the liberated ) ersons aforesaid; trusteiBi sh.ill le apoiiited by the Secretary of War, and shall receive salaries of not more than ;l.fMK) per annum. At the end of fen years the absolute tit le to said home . ttlcail.hall lic.fojivrj'ed to the owners, or to the heirs ol such as are then dead. Section -i -rracts that out of the balance of the rorty thu aeizeil there sliaH-lar rais ed a sum eiial to $-"0 for each homestead, to la- applied towards the erect ion of build ings for the use of said former slaves; and the farther sum ot .itM),000(MH), of which i'.'OO.noO.OOO shall la- invested ill the I'nited Stales tl er cent, securities, and the inter est shall U-semi annually asUled to the pen sirt)H alhiwed by law to fiensioners who havi iKiiimr so by reason of the late war, and :iim.(RHI,0OO, or so much tin n ot as shall be necessary, shall 1 appropriated to pay damage done to loyal citizens by the civil or military operations of the govern ment lately called the "Confederate States of' America." Section n enacts that in order that just discrimination may be made, the property of none shall Ih-seized w hose whole estate on March 4th., tMoTi, was not worth more than IVotN), to lie valued by the said com mission, unless he shall have la-come an olliecr or employee in the military or civil "service of the Confederate State, or in the service of some one of said States, and in cniiircing all confiscations the sum of $.1,000 in real or peeaonal proH-rty shall be left or assigned to the delinquent. Section 7 enacts thai the commission shall put a just and impartial valuation up on all the property thus seized and forfeit ed, and when such valuation shall lie com pleted in the several States, all the commis sioners shall meet In Washington and as sess thu f00,OtK),000 aforesaid, as well as I he allowance lor homesteads, Ac, and shall give not ice of such assessment and apiior- 1 ii hi linn t by publication for sixty days in two daily newspapers of Washington and in t wo tl.uly newspapeis in the capitals of each ot th said Confederate States.

When be l-cante cxhavmted, trriif til speech was read by the clerk, Mr. McPherson. The following i a synopsis of the speech : Mw. Sfkakkb : I am about to discuss the question of Ihe punishment of belligerent traitor byniforcinglhecoiilliajation of their property to a certain extent, both as a pun ishment for their crime and to pay tha loyal C, SATURDAY. MARCH 23, 1867. man -who have beett robbed by tire Httiehi and to increase the pensionsof our woitnhl oldiei The punishment of traitors has been wholly ignored by a treacherous Eiet Dtive and a sluggish Congress. I wish to make an issue before the American jveople and see whether they will sanction the ier fect impunity of a murderous belligerent and consent that the loyal men of this nation, who have lawn despoiled of their property, liall remain without remuneration lit her hy the Itebel property or the projierly of the nation. 'i To this issue I desire to devote the small remnant of my life. I desire to. make the iaatle iK-fon-the Hople of my ow n State, and should be glad if the Issue were to ex tcad tothcotbrrStirtes. I desire the verdict of the people tqwin this gn"at uetioii. - What I ask of this House is to give a square vote upon the direct question by yeas and nays. I pray you fjo not evade or kill it by a side wind. When you have given such rote I shall be satisfied, what ever may lie the result. This hill it seems to me, ran be condem ned only by I hi: criminals and their iiiiine diaua tritmda, and by thai unmanly kind, ot men whose intellectual and moral vigor ha melted iiiiu a fluid weakness which they mistake for mercy, and which is onteni pcrcd with a single .train of justice, and to those reliL'iontsts who mistake mcanm-ss h.r Christianity, and who forget that t he essence ol religion is to "do unto oilier w hat ol Iters have a right to cxpcl Irom you." It is of t'-nsive to eeriaiii pielentious ds-ir ol ilivinity who ate maw kisfily prating ntsHii the "falted i-alt. the priallgal son of thefot giving fathir." 'I'hey loruet thai there is no analogy Im-Iwi-cii the ease. The thought-h-sii youtfi having received e Jmil d his father's estate, and probul-ly taken a load of com to mai ket. It-II into bait company and contraeted the loathsome vice ol drunken ness and spent the money in riHinr-od iltt bauehi ry. and like all ilruukards, made his bed with ihe sw iue and ted on busks; hut like one rase only in a thousand, he reform ed, joined the total abstinence sia-iety, wasli ed hiuisell cU an, lrulieil his clothes, and with repentant steps returned to his father's house. Well mittht his aged parent rejoice ; well iniehl he kill the failed calf at such a rescue. Hut how venial was such offence compared with this murderous rctsvllion ! When the great ancestor of this bloody race had slain his brother, and tremblingly met hi judge and sought for pardon, w hat was the answer f ''The voice of thy brofh r's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which has iqn ned her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. When thou tilh-s t the ground it shall not henceforth yield unto thin) her strength a fugitive and a vagalftiiiit shaft thou ta on the earth." Vt lien ( am cried that his "punishment was more than he could hear," the Judge who administered justice in mercy drove him forth into stem, inexorable exile. He taught no forgiveness for such sins. He prated of no fatfed i elves. .... In discussing the different sections of the bill, he said : The liiurtli section provides that out of the hinds thus confiscated each lilx-rated slave w ho is a male adult, or the head of a sillily, shall have assigned to him a home stead ol' forty acres of land, (with f 100 to luiild a dwelling.) which shall be field for them by trustees during their pupilage. IiaU-vi r niav lie the late ol the rest ol the bill. I-must earnestly pray that this may not-In- defeated. On its Kllcci-HS, ifl inv judgment, ih prints not only the happiness and respin tal. inly ol the colore. I nice, but their very existence. Hoiitcateud to them are far more valuable than the immediate right of siiifrage. though twitli an- their due. Hi- then ad oeated this provision at great length, eitiuo the recent action of the Czar Vif ItiisMa in lilii rating the serfs and taxing their loruii-r nuui r to provide bir them, He tin II said ; The remaining part of the sum levied, to wit : tilMj.uisi.ooi.. is to remunerate loyal men in Isith s, el ions who in consequence of their loyally have lain plundered and had tin ii proja-ty destroyed by the invading ar mies and raiders of the eneinv. or bv the un just seizure and confiscation of the priqa-rty ol loyal men in the rehel Stales. Who ob jects to this f WhiH-w-r docs, let biiu put his name on nconl that the country may fairly judge on which side his sympathies lie. Uv the usages of nations, the property of the citizens ot the belligerent ow er taken or dest royeil as a military necessity is paid by the Government. But property taken or de stroyed by the enemy is not paiil by the Gov ernment. Strictly speaking, the proiierty of citizens ot the hostile Government, though friendly to the conqueror, cannot Iw charged to the victor. But in civil war, it seems to me, that a distinct ion should lie made, and those who had slill'i red for their adherence to the parent Government should be taken i all ot in adjusting the renditions ol peace. - We know there are loyal men in the South w bo are large sufferers. There are Mill a larger number in the North who are mado larger sufferers, neither of whom have any chance ollieing reniunciated except through this Congressional legislation. N. uliit ot them can ever receive a dollar out of the Treasury of the I'nited States. I know not whether $200,000,000 will pay tin in. Certainly it would be a great relief. I need not enumerate the sort of damages to which I refer. Southern loyalists who have suffered are everywhere to la seen. The V alley of Virginia and the course of Slier idan's oeralious are full of them. The smoking ruins ol Lawrence ami ( hamta r burg, almost every county of Missouri and Maryland, and the I'ronti. r portions ot Oliio, arc samples ol the latter. If the War had been between two regular government, both ol which survived the war,, tile, victor in the treaty of iec would require the vanquished to pay all such damages as well as the expenses of the war. If neither bad conquered the other they would probably In- silent, and each bear his own loss. Congress is dictating the terms ot peace. If she iha s not provide lor these meritorious claimant she, will lie Uiund in honor to pay them out of the, national treasury. It she does not individuals w ill Im wronged and the nation dishonored. This bill is Very luercilul toward a cruel, out lawed belligerent who, when their armies were ili.icrscd, would gladly have contpni mised if their lives were saved. Tbosu w ho will IsjalTected by thi bill will not exceed 70,000 out of a population of six millions of whites, for Una ia a people ol aristocrats amlubject; uf a proud- nobilily and a cringing poor pciaumj.,,. Thiiaa .seventy, thousand person own hbout three hundred and ninety million acre of land out of the live hundred million in the Confederate States. Thi, together with the town prop erty, cannot tie worth lea than ten billion ot dollar, (tl0,000,000,000k Thi estimate include no man' property w ho was worth leu than tea thousand dollar ; nor Joe it include say personal property, wUich may nerhsp swell it to twelve billions of dol I in. The line proposed would be but one twentieth of their estates. Were ever such gnat malefactors so gently dealt with ? It were well if all their large estates could be subdivided anil sold in small tract. No people will ever lie republican in spirit arid practice where a tew own Immense manors and the masses are landless. Small imle penitent landholders are the upMirt and guardians of republican lilwrty. But it is said that very many of these men have Iwcn pardoned by the President, and their forlcited estate restored to them.

The question which elicited the warmest discussion wa whether the vote which ratilieu the Constitution should lie one requiring a majority ol all the registered voters or all the votes cast. The, House bill require the former, aailid the bill of the Judiciary Committee, in the estimation of some of the members, but not in that of others, and several votes were had upon it, ami any quantity of debate. The alteration finally made were by modifying the form of tbc oath ami by in serting the third section, which provide for a vote being taken at the election lor delegates for ami against the Convention, which shall not lie held if a mai-oily op pose it, or if a majority of the re.icn vo ters fail to VOtellMUI the qlnslloo.

Sime thought it uiilair to ask a man to swear to that lo which you could apply no teat, such aa a feeling of attach ment to the L'nioii. Some thought relads Would not be dcUned by oath, anil a few agreed with Mr. Sumner in thinking that the terms were not harsh enough, lie wanted the alliant to swear to the indissolu bility of the I niou , that he would not couiiUnanceHlie Conteilcrutc debt, but up hold the national, and oppose all discrimin ation of rights in regard to color. Mr. How ard's amendment was lost in committee, hut adopted in the Senate. The question that was most ersistently debated was whether a majority of the reg istered voters, or of all the voles cast, should be suflicient to call a convention aud ratify the constitution, Messrs. HowardSumner, Nye, Pesacnden and Conkling contending for the former. The speeches of Messrs. Howard and Nye were especially bitU-r against rebels, According to their state ment, the Southern jicople are not lit to live in a republican country, or, Indeed, in .y other. They are unworthy of trust, ' ill of hostility to the Union and to free iualitk ins, and are onlj kept from universal mass.-u-ring of the negnst by Federal bayonets.
