RIDIEME CONGRESS-FUME SESSION.
(CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PBOOLFDINGS.I
The joint resolution to amend thq
stitution of the United States was Wail le
Mr. Johnson took the floor, saying : In
the remarks he was about to make, he
would address himself first to the consider
ation of the resolution, in order to ascertain
its exact meaning, and secondly to the sup
posed necessity which causes such an
amendment, and thirdly to its effect upon
the condition of the country. In this, as in
every other case upon which human judg
ment is to be exercised, it is very important
that we should distinctly understand what
the measure under consideration is. The
second section of the first article of the Con
stitution regulates the mode in which re
presentation and taxation are to be ascer
tained, and makes both depend upon the
same fact. Representation is to' be appor
tioned according to numbers, and direct
taxation is to be apportioned in the same
way. As the resolution was first reported
from the committee, it stood in that way.
Upon the recommitment, the provision
which it originally contained in relation to
direct taxation was omitted, and it stands
now as a proposition to amend the Consti
tution, so as to effect alone the second sec
tion of the first article of, the Constitution
as it relates the mode in which the number
of representatives is to be ascertained.
The Senate will remember that represen
tation was based upon numbers, with two
exceptions. The first exception was In
dians not taxed. The other was that a por
tion of the . people in the. Southern States
which was held in slavery was not to to be
taken into the account to its entire extent
but only to, the extent of
three-fifths of the whole, so that as the Con
stitution now stands, and. slavery no longer
exist, the Southern States would be entitled
to representation for the whole number of
people there. The effect of the proposed
amendment, with the exception of the pro
viso, is to make no change in' the corre
sponding requirements of the Constitution.
except that it emits the provision that three
fifths only of a certain class shallbe counted.
The reason for that omission is, of course,
apparent. There are no persons now in ex
istence in any of the States of the Union who
are not to be considered as men, but as
property. The provision in relation to the
estimation of three-fifths, instead of the
winple ntimber,.was made because there did
at that time exist in the States a class of
persons who held the double capacity of
men and property, or to bpeak more cor
rectly, who were persons and chattels.
There was great difficulty in the Conven
tion in providing for the manner in which,
as far as that class of persons wasconcerned
representation was to be ascertained, and
equal difficulty in ascertaining, as far as
they were concerned, how a provision as to
taxation was to be made in those days; but
there were no such objections as seem now
to be insuperable to the minds of some Sen
ators on the subject of compromising. They
came to the conclusion that the good of the
country demanded that there should be a
compromise, and they proposed as a com
promise the provision which now stands,
and that is, that for the purpose of repre
sentation persons held in slavery or invol
untary servitude shall be esteehied three
fifths men and two-fifths property, and they
established the same rule in relation to
taxation.
They very wisely concluded that, as it
was all important that some general rule
should be adopted, this was the best rule,
because promising more than any other
rule to arrive at a just result of ascertain
kg, the number of Representatives and
the quota of taxation. Now as far as re
lates to the quota of taxation, or as far as
relates to the quota of representation, the
state of things is clearly changed. There
are no persons now, so to speak, who are
-three-fifths men and two-fifths property.
We all stand upon the same platform as
we came from nature's God. We stand to
gether upon an equality as far as relates to
human righta, and it was entirely unne
cessary, therefore, to change the mode of
apportioning taxation except for some other
cause which did not enter into the esti
mation of the - wise and great ones by whom
the government was made and the Consti
tution adopted. In recommending this
particular provision, this amendment says
to the States you are entitled to a number
of - Representatives in proportion to your
numbers, which is all right. Oar fathers
designed that when they made the gov
ernment, and under it the country has
grown prosperous; but if, says the amend
ment, further in the exercise of your rights
you think proper to exclude from the privi
lege of suffrage any portion of the numbers
of that population on account of race or
color, that person is to be deducted from
the amount of numbers which is to regulate
the number of your Representatives, and
your power in the government is decreased
m a corresponding degree. And it does
more than that: It not only says that if
there be by State legislation a distinction on
account of color in the exercise of the
elective franchise, not only shall the num
ber of such persons who may be so excluded
from franchise be deducted from the num
ber of persons which is to ascertain the
number of your Representatives, but every
man, whether entitled to vote or not by the
laws of the State, of whom it may be said
he belongs to the race, and every man who
comes under the denomination of color,
within the limits of the State, is to be de
ducted from the enumeration. If, there
fore, as is done in the State of New York,
and in several other States of the Union, a
distinction is made between the right to
vote upon the part of a colored man and the
right to vote upon the part of a white man
in any way, by.reciniring for the one quali
fications not required for the other, the
whole of that population in the State of
New York is to be deducted from the enu
meration.
Under the constitution and laws of New
York no person of color can vote in that
State who has not a freehold and the re
quired residence. The possession of a free
hold is not required by the white voters of
New York, and there is, therefore in the
State of New York at this time a distinction
between the white and colored race in the
exercise of the elective franchise, and the
resolution says that if there be any such
distinction, then not only are the number
of persons of that race who may be entitled
to vote because they are freeholders to be
deducted, but the entire number of the race,
and New York loses, or may lose, a portion
of its representatives.
Conness asked a question-Suppose
one ofthose States, North Carolina, for in
stance if this amendment should be adopted,
should enact that a property qualification
should be required for the exercise of the
franchise, not applicable to colored people
alone, but all alike, and such an amount
was established as would lead to the exclu
sion of a large number of the colored popu
lation from the polls, would not that State
• be entitled, notwithstanding that exclusion,
to representaticn for the entire 'population,
black and white, inasmuch as the exclusion
- was notbecause ofrace or color,but because
of proper qualification applying universally,
Mr. Johnson—Of course, I have said no
thing to the contrary. None are to be ex
cluded from the numbers ',except an entire
class ? as against whom some qualification is
required for the elective franchise that is
not required of the white race. If the same
qualification is required for both, there is
no distinction. The honorable Senator's
question is answered, I think, by the terms
of the resolution. What I said was,. that as
the elective franchise is regulated in New
York, unless it is changed either by abol
ishing the freehold qualification or, by re
quiring alike qualification from the white
voters, the whole number of colored people
will'be deducted.
31r.'Connees desired Mr. Johnson tb, dba
cuss the effect of.the statute he had named
under the amendment.
Mr. Johnson—l admit that in the case
supposed,by the - honorable
,Senator there
would be no deduction. They would all be
ledibraced. If a State admits colored men to
vote, and requires a qualification which it
does not exact from white men, then the
entire colored population is to be deducted
from the estimates. Bat t Mr. President,
there is another question which the Senate
will have to meet and the country will have
to meet if this amendment is adopted. How
many States in the Union admit colored
men to the exercise of the elective franchise?
Only six. And how many exclude them
positively from the right of suffrage? Thirty.
Supposing all the States to be in the Union;
suppose, for the sake of argument, they are
to be esteemed not out of the Union, how
many of those that are claimed to be in,
whose representatives- are upon this floor,
give the colored man the right of suffrage?
Only six. And unless the States change
their policy—and I am by no means per
suaded that they will; on the contrary, so
fir as I have an opinion on the subject,
believe they will not—and that opinion is
formed upon the occurrences of the time, if
;this amendment passes, there is hardly one
of these States that would not lose a repre
sentative, provided they had this colored
population amongst them.
Mr. Johnson then referred to the effect
which the amendment would have upon the
several States. Senators representing States
that would not be affected by it might vote
_
- for% He would illustrate. Massachusetts,
according to the census of 1860, has a white
population, of 1,221,969, and a colored popu
lation of only 9,602; New York has a white
population of 3,831,730, and a colored popu
lation of 490,052; Vermont has a white
population of 319,389, and a colored popula
tion of 709; New Hampshire has a white
Population of 325,579, and a colored popula
tion of 494. The game, so to speak, is a safe
one for them. They will not be affected by
it injuriously. They will lose no represen
tatives, but, on the contrary, they gain—not
in the number of representatives that they
will have on the floor—but they will not be
met by the corresponding representatives of
the other States in number such as the Gm-
Bandon of 1789 designed these other States
should have; but they will be met by repre
sentatives less by one there than those that
our fathers thought should be the number of
representatives of the State.
. The chairs in the other hall that areplaced
there for the purpose of accommodating the
representatives of the Southern States, will
be more or less vacated, and what for ? . Is
it from the danger of having them filled?
Are not the North and the statesmen of the
North equal to the South and the statesmen
of the South, on all subject that may come
up before the councils of the nation? What
is there, looking at the history of the two
sections in the past, which would lead us to
believe that the North is inferior to the
South in anything of tntellectual improve
ment or statesmanship? Referring to the
effect of the proposed amendment upon
Maryland, Mr. Johnson said that State con
tained a population of 515,919 whites and
171,131 colored, and to refuse to let the blacks
vote would be to deprive her of a represen
tative. The people of the State would never
agree to this amendment. They will insist
to the point of revolution, upon the right
to regulate the right of franchise within
their limits.
- _
Mr. Johnson then criticised the premises
of Mr. Sumner's speech relating to the right
of the General Government to interpose in
regulatino• 6 the elective franchises of a State.
He read from Kent's Commentaries, show-
ing that the prerogatives of the Constitution
were specifically established, and in the
above regard gave no authority for inter
ference. No one had ever held before that
the General Govornment was to step within
the limits of the respective States, and dic
tate to the people therein how they ware to
elect their Legislatures, and if Congress had
no right to interfere with the elective fran
chise, was it honest now to attempt to thrust
such interference upon the States indirectly,
as was provided in the terms of this amend
ment.
At this point Mr. Sumner asked if Con
gress had the power to annul all State laws
in regard to distinction of oolor, could if not
also annul all statutory provisions for in
equality of political rights.
in
equality
Johnson thought that congressional
legislation, in either case, was entirely un
constitutional. The spe aker proceeded to
ask why it was that the Senators on the
other side were afraid to trust the people of
their respective States. If thus apprehen
sive, upon what grounds did they assume
to be confident that they had numbers suffi
cient to enable them to adept this amend
ment? and why are they anxious for its
passage? It is because they believe that it
will have the desired effect in the South
without affecting the system of State govern
ments of We Northern States. This Union
has always been dealt with as one. Why,
then, was this Congress unwilling to leave
this new provision to the people of the
entire Union, instead of pushing its passage
indirectly through the Legislature of
a iiortion of the States? He then stated
that the result would be repeated with
greater emphasis in Maryland. Senators
who now ardently advocated this measure
would precipitately withdraw their support
if they supposed that its operation would
equally affect their own State; and if in the
natural occurrence of events the black popu
lation should be equally distributed over the
country, no representative of a Northern
constituency could then be found with in
trepidity enough to countenance such a pro
position. It was because the proposition did
not affect them as it would the South that
these gentlemen were so anxious for its
adoption.
The country had come out of the late war
so depressed that it needed the uttermost
energies of the government to bring about a
recovery. He would advocate that the
blacks be left as they are, protected by the
Consitution in every privilege that pertains
to.the white man; let the black work for his
living as did the white, giving him hill
right under the law to regulate his contracts,
and thus show his capacity for exercising
the right of suffrage. Congress now pro
poses to say to the South, unless you will let
the black man vote, your representation
shall be lessened, but in assessing her taxes,
the full account of all the inhabitants would
be the basis.
The Senate at 4 o'clock adjourned until
Monday next.
HOUSE—The House spent more than an
hour in the consideration of private bills.
Mr. Donnelly introduced the memorial' of
the State of Minnesota for the improvement
of the navigation of the Mississippi river to
the falls of St. Anthony.
Mr. Eliot moved that the House proceed'
to the business on the Speaker's table.
Mr. Le Blond inquired what business the
gentleman desired to get at.
Mr. Eliot replied the gentleman would
know when the House agreed to his motion.
Mr. Le Blond merely wanted to know
whether a negro was in it or not.
The House agreed to the motion.
Mr. Smith (Ky.) ; said he understood there
was present a distinguished general of the
lJnited States army, who represented the
German element of the country, and who
had shown his bravery and military ability
on many a field—Major-General Osterhaus
—and he moved a recess of five minutes in
order that the 'General might be presented
to the House.
Mr. Eliot said he could not refuse to ac
quiesce in the motion,. and a recess of five
minutes was declared, when the Speaker
left the chair, and having been introduced
to General Osterhans by Mr. Smith, es
corted the General to the stand. amid ap
plause. The Speaker said—Gentlemen of
the House, ,of Representatives: When the
people of this republic took up arms for its
salvation, there were thousands and scores
of thousands born in other lands, who had
TOE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN :
emigrated to this country to live and 'die
under 413 flag, impelled by the samepatriot
isth as the,native born citizens who rallied
to the defende of the republic. On manya
battle-field, conspicuous was the gentleman
whom,' by your order, I have the honor .to'
introduce to you to-day, Major-General
terhaus. [Applause.] I '
Major General Osterhaus spoke substan-.
tially as follows:
Gentlemen---You must excuse me from
making a speech, as I cannot speak your
language well, having come to this country
when too old to learn. In, my own iand
yourltag was the :synabol of freedom, and
having tried but faile&to establish a Ger
man Union, I came to America guided by
the same symbol of the stars and stripes,
and I did all I could to defend it on the bat
tle field. [Applause.]
The Speaker then introduced -the mem
bers individually to Gen. Osterhaus. ,
The Speaker laid before the House a mes
sage from the President in reply to a resolu
tion heretofore adopted,stating that it would
be incompatible with the public interest to
communicate the record or report of the
Judge Advocate General in relation to the
charges pending against Jefferson Davis,
Clement C. Clay, David Yates and Stephen
A. Mallory, the evidence being merely ex
parte, and intended for the President alone.
The House proceeded to the business on
the Speaker's table l and took up the Senate's
amendments to the bill' amendatory of the
act to establish the Freedman's Bureau.
The House concurred in the Senate's
amendments.
Mr. Schenck asked that the House take a
recess Of five minutes, in order that Major
General George Crook might be introduced
to the House. • The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Rogers suggested that the House in
vite all the army in.
The speaker then introduced Gen. Crook
by saying that during a portion of the time
that the country was engaged in a war for
its salvation, the valley of the Shenandoah
was the scene of many defeats of the na
tional army, but toward the close of the
contest there was a general whose magnetics
power over his men and brilliant deeds
turned the valley of humiliation into one
of victory, prominent among the generals
with Major General Phil Sheridan was
Major General George Crook, whom he now
had the honor of presenting to the House,
[Applause.]
General Crook responded by merely
saying, "I thank you; gentlemen." [Ap
plause.]
The Speaker then introduced the mem
bers separately to the general at a subse
quent stage of the proceedings.
Mr. Smith (Ky.) said that at the beginning
of the war there were in the western @win
try some gentlemen who sided with the
government in the most determined manner,
and who were prompt to hurry to the de
fence of the country. There was here pre
sent one of these men, from his own State,
in whom he had the greatest confidence,and
for whom he bad the greatest admiration,
and who went into the war at its commence
ment to uphold the banner of the republic,
and fought throughout the contest. He
marched with distinction with Sherman's
army to the sea. He desired Major-General
Ward to be introduced to the House.
The recess was declared, when the
Speaker, in like manner as before, conducted
General Ward to the stand, saying ,when
the storm clouds of war burst over our land,
the hearts of all loyal people were soon
warmed towards these brave men who stood
by the imperiled flag. As they bad just
heard from the gentleman from Kentucky,
the gentleman at his side was one of those
men to whom the country does honor, as
the House did to-day. He, therefore, had
great pleasure in introducing him to the
House. [Applause.] ,
General Ward cordially thanked the
House for the honor received at their hands,
saying when that unnatural and terrible re
bellion was brought on, he resolved in the
inmost recess of his heart to sustain the re
public, and he never during that contest
laid down his arms, but kept the faith. He
had now returned to civil life, and among
the evidences of friendship extended to nim
he should ever cherish in grateful remem
brance the kindness and friendship ex
pressed for him here to-day. [Applause.]
The Speaker introduced the members to
the General, after which the House pro
ceeded to the consideration of the amend
ments reported from the Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union to the Navy
Appropriation bill.
The House disagreed with the committee,
and retained the item of $105,000 for the pur
chase of Sandy's Island, adjoining the
Portsmouth Navy Yard. All the items for
the Boston Navy Yard are retained except
ing $25,010 for purchase of the right of drain
age through the yard, now held by the city
of Charlestown, $167,381 for buildings for of
Licks, and $135,000 for the purchase of Oak
man cis Eldridge's wharf.
The House agreed with the oommittee and
struck out in the New York Navy-yard
items $298,600 for machine shop, main build- -
ing; $191,480 for machine shop, boiler wing;
6190,000 tor: quay wall extension at derick;
$lOO,OOO for quay wall extension at sewer;
$81,500 for office building; $lOO,OOO for filling
low places on new purchase; $lBO,OOO for
machinery for new machine shop, boiler
shop, pattern shop and smithy. The only
items retained are $981,922 for iron plating
shop, $47,600 for receiving stores; $65,000 for
dredging channels; $20,500 for special re
pairs; $116,000 for repairs of all kinds, and
$90,000 for the purchase of the Ruggles pro
perty. $20,000 are appropriated for the pre
servation from destruction and decay of the
buildings already commenced.
All the items for the Philadelphia navy
yard are retained except $35,000 for Bulk
lay's patent dryer.
All the appropriations for the Washington
navy-yard are retained.
The appropriations for the Norfolk and
Pei sacola navy-yards were nearly all
stricken out—s2o,ooo being voted for each
place, for the protection of public property.
An additional section was added, making
the appropriation as bounties for the de
struction of enemy's vessels during the re
bellion applicable to all cases, and also a
new section, that no part of the amount ap
propriated by this bill shall be paid in vio
lation of the provisions of the act pre
scribing an oath of office. The bill was then
passed.
The House reserved the consideration of
the bill to establish a uniform system of
bankruptcy. The time was occupied in
discussing the details of various sections,
but there was no final action on the bill.
Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) introduced a bill ex
tending the benefits of section 4 of the Army
Appropriation bill, approved March 3, 1865,
so as to give all officers of volunteers below
rank of brigadier general, who were mus
tered out of the service at their own request
or otherwise honorably discharged, after
the 19th of April, 1865, three months pay
'proper, the same as if they had been mus
tered out with their respective regiments,
which was referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs.
The House then adjourned.
The President yesterday transmitted to
the House of Representatives a communi
cation from the Secretary of War and the
Attorney-General, in reply to a resolution
requesting him, if not incompatable with
the public interests, to furnish any report
or reports made by the Judge Advocate-
