troops from that part of the country. They
also protest against the organization of mili
tia, as it would be officered entirely by
rebels ; and they represented that thousands
of people there are in the utmost destitution.
The petitions were referred to the Committee
on Reconstruction.
Mr. Baker (Ill.) asked leave to offer an
amendment to the Constitution excluding
from the Presidency, Vice Presidency,
Congress, the Army and Navy
and Judiciary, ate., of the
United States, all who have voluntarily
aided the rebellion in civil, military or
naval service.
Mr. Chanter (N. Y.) objected.
The committees were called for bills and
reports of a private character. •
