"Wbe Urania Xamby.
Very little that is new can be told of tbAt
most interesting-of—English-literary- families,
the Brontd girls; but an Englishman who
lately spent a winter day at Haworth, their
former home and present burial place, resur
reefed a son of the old sexton of the church
over which the father of the family presided,
who ttated that he know every one of the
Bronles well ,
"No,Thhe said, in' reply to some of my
Auditions about them, "they didn't visit much
among the people in the village. They were
fonder of taking long walks by themselves on
Ikea moors. Emily (Ellis Bell) was very re
iferved. ' Annie was the loveliest, sir. When
ever they were baking at the parsonage she
td•Ottys took care to make me—l, was a little
lad, then; you know, sir—an apple pasty; or,
If she couldn't make me one, then she would
eve me a handful of raisins, or something of
that sort."
"Did you know Branwell, the son ?" said
I, "was he hot very clever ?"
"That he was, Sir 1 I will give you an in.-
slance of it: tell you what I've seen
him do often andOftert. I have seen him
lake two (pinks, one in each hand, and
write two letters at once on two different sub
jects, while some one kept talking to him.
B.ei wrote just ,as easily writh the left hand as
with the right., The way be first began to write
With - both battle, he told rue was this. One
day be was at a railway station, and he
wanted very much to get two letters written
before the train came up, and it occurred to
him that he might as well write them both at
once, He tried, and found hp could do it
quite Well."
' /Its. Gaskell, in her "Life of Charlotte
Bronte," has stated that one, reason of Bran
well Bronte's having so early contracted those
Isibits of intoxication which blighted his ca
reer, was to be found in the fact that when a
traveler for a commercial house came to stay
at Haworth for the night, and complained of
the dullness of the place, the host of the
“Black Bull" would then send tip to the par
sonage, "with the traveler's compliments,"
and beg Mr. Branwell to come down to the
inn and spend an hour or two there. The
sexton, however, informed us that this state
ment was quite untrue. "Mrs. Gaskill," said
he, "went too far there." The host of the
"Black Bull" had never thus sent for Bran
well; "for," as the sexton observed grimly,
"he (Branwell) never wanted any sending
for; be went fast enough for himself."
"Did you know Mr. Nicholls, the curate;
who married Charlotte Bronte?" asked my
friend.
"Yes; I knew him well. A. nice man he
was. Quiet, you knoiv, but very kind, and a
real bard worker.
"How long was Mr. Nicholls at Haworth."
"Why, altogether he was here about
seventeen years. Ten years he was here
afore he married Miss Brontk, and about
seven years afterward. Four months after
Mr. Bronte died he went away."
"Did he apply for the living after Mr.
Bronte's death?" vie asked.
"Yes; be did, sir," answered the sexton;
°but he didn't get it."
"But surely," said we, "having been curate
here for seventeen years of his life, having
known the Brontk family so long, and having
married Charlotte Bronte, he was the most
suitable person to have been appointed."
"Well, I don't kuow how it was, sir," re
sponded the sexton; "but all I know is, he
sent in his application to the trustees, and
hearing that there was going to be some op
*salon to him, he withdrew it."
He showed us the communion-pew, in
front of which Charlotteßronte was married,
and under which she now lies buried, al
most on the very spot where her feet must
have stood during the performance of the
marriage rite. All the family, also, except
Annie, are buried close beside her. The
sexton pointed out to us the Bronte pew,
which is close before the altar, and especially
showed where she (Charlotte) used to sit.
"She was," he said, "very little and had a
footstool for her feet. Yee, the pew was in
exactly the same state as when they sat in it.
Ab, sir," continued the sexton, •"I once saw
Thackeray and an American, who, they tell
me, is a great man over there, called Emer
son, and Miss Martineau, and Miss Bronte,
all sitting in that pew, one Sunday. Tnaeke
ray arid Emerson came to visit Miss Brontk
for a day or two, that was how they all sat
there on the Sunday."
Miss flacon's lizilluoitiations.
There is a story connected with Stratford
ort-Avon, which is not generally known. Miss
Bacon, a New Haven lady, noted for her ia
tellecteal attainments, and for her peculiar
theories in respect to the authorship of the
woiks of Shakespeare, went to Stratford,some
five years ago, with a view of collecting evi
dence upon the spot where the Bard of Avon
was born, for the purpose of establishing the
fact that he was a myth,
She took up her residence in the honse of
a shoemaker in High street, not far from
Shakespeare's house, which she visited
almost every day, as well as the celebrated
ehurch containing the dramatist's remolds.
The Rector of the church, the Mayor of Strat
tml, and the people, generally, treated her
with much civility. On one occasion she
Was seen by the clerk of the church entering
with implements in her hand; and, as he was
afraid that she might endeavor to remove
the lid and molest the tomb of the poet, con
trary to his terrible admonition against
the disturbance of his ashes, and con
trary of course, to the law, she was
requested not to visit the church excepting
daring religious services. She expressed,
however, a strong desire to visit it at, night;
and the clerk, yielding for once to her urgent
entreaties, permitted her to do so. But while
she fancied herself alone, he was watching
her all the tiuie in the vestry-roam. He
stated, in an interview with the writer of the
present article, that she was quietly sitting
for about an hour, looking at the tombstone,
apparently wrapped in meditation. Whenever
a noise reached her from the vestry-room,pro
sinced by some unintentional motion of his,
she would look startled and flushed, as if she
could not account for the noise she heard, or
could only attribute it to some occult influ
ence. .This led, in the opinion of the clerk,
to Mr. Hawthorne% allusion, in his Oar Old
Houma, to the supernatural experiences of
Miss Bacon in Shakespeare's church. Mr.
Hawthorne% imagination sympathized with
bliss Bacon's hallucinations. The rector
_ of_othe _cha t tels, protested against Mr. II tw-'
• therne's statement, as to the permission
given to the lady to examine the contents of
ShakeSpeare's tomb. It was well known
.that Miss Bacon was anxious to 'examine it,
for Me purpose of proving that the tomb con
tained no ashes at all; but she was never
permitted to do any tbiug of the kind. Sae
-received to other privileges than thoie granted
to other visitors of the church, which consist
:simply in being permitted to look at the tomb

.and t talons.
Her time was spent in writing, reading,
and. visiting the localities associated with
'Shakespeare and his family. Her existence
',passed placidly enough, until, as the daugh

Scene in the. French Corps Legia
The journals accused of corruption by M.
de Kerveguen have completely vindicated
themselves before the "Jury of Honor." A. 9
the charge had been made by M. de Kerve
guen publicly in the Chamber, M. Haviu,
the
editor of the Aciiiele; sought to read the find
ing of the jury in the same place. But the
mejority would not bear him. As soon as
he appeared in the tribune his voice
was 'drowned by every variety of
noise that can be produced without
the aid of other instruments than keys, pm
halves, boot-heels, and the human voice.
The scene was one of unparalleled excite
ment and uproar, and what, of course, con
tributed most to make it disgraceful was that
the majority Were refusing, in defiance of
their own rules and of the decision of the
presiding officer, to listen to the answer of
two of their own members to an infamous
charge which they had heard with perfect
composure. M Havin gave up the attempt
in despair, and the opposition felt so out
- raged by the occurrence and so ashamed
of it that they seriously debated the
propriety . of resigning in a body.
M. Grimier de Cassagnac, editor of the
Pays, and one of- the newspaper bravos of
the Empire, has headed the attacks on his
brethren date press, and has asserted, more
over, that he could produce proofs of their
corruption which did not appear before the
Jury of Honor, if he were not afraid of being
sued for libel. Thereupon the editors of the
journals named by him—the Revue des
Deus Moncles, the Libertcl, the Opinione
Nationale, ,S.Wele,Debats and tl venir Na
tional—have signed a paper authorizing him
to print his "proofs," and undertaking not to
sue him.—. Nation.
Official list:port. u 1 t.oncral Meade on
th a Alabama. Election.
The Seen Wry of War sent to the Howie on
Saturday, in compliance with a resolution of that
body, the official report of Major• General Meade
to General Grant, dated Atlanta, Georgia, March
2ld, giVing the following analysis of the returns
ol the vote in Alabama at the election submit
ting to the eglatered votes the Constitution
framed by the Convention of that State :
Total vote cast for the constitution 70,812
Total vote cast against the constitution....
Total vote cast at the election 71,817
Votes cast by colored men 6 . 2,194
Votes cast by white men 6,70 . z
Votes not separated 2,92:
Colored votes cast for the constitution...62,oB..
Colored votes - cast against the constitution 10",
White votes cast for the constitution.......
White votes cast against the constitution.. 901. ,
• Asomparison of the vote cast in October lase.
for the Convention with the present election,
shoWs tisi follows: White vote for the Convention,
18,553; do. for the Constitution. 5;802; loss on
Constitution, 12,751; colored vote for the Con
vention, 71,930; for the Constitution, 62.089; loss
on Constitution, 9,641. Total loss of vote on
Constitution from the vote for the Convention..
22,392. • By a careful examination of the official
returns; at General Meade's headquarters, the re
gistration lists show prior to the recent revision
the number of registered voters in the State was
166
685. The latest revision adds 3,996. Total
registration,l74,o3l.
In comparing the vote cast at the election with
the registered vote, General Meade says lie ha.
deemed it no more than just to deduct the regis
tered vote In such counties as have been rejected
In the election. It will be seen that in two COW]
ties (Dale and Henry) no election was held. That
In Lowndes .the ballot-boxes were stolen; and in
Sumpter only a pat dal election was held, and the
votes rejected by the registers, on the ground of
Illegality. The registered vote of all four of
these counties should be deducted from the regis
tration, and the partial vote of Sumpter thrown
out. Adopting this basis, the total reg,ristriition
as above is 170,631, less the registration of four
counties, 13,686. The registration in counties
where votes were cast, 156,045.
One-half the amount required for ratification,
78,173. Now, the total vote at the election is
71,817, and deducting the vote in Sumpter, re
ported 1,458, the actual vote east atthe election
is 70,359, and the Constitution fails of ratification
by 8,114, that is to say, the whole vote cast in
these counties where the election was held fall ,
short of one-half of the number of reported vo
ters in these counties by, 8,114, and the Coustitn•
tion, therefore, under the law requiring one-hall
the registered voters to cast their votes. is not
ratified.
Gen. Meade says, in conclusion :
The Constitution failing of ratification, the
means to be" adopted were questions of import•
lance. I have deemed it my duty to turn over to
the President of the Convention the, returns of
the election for members of Congress, and Stott
and county offices, but I have not authorized the
Issue of certificates of election until the questions
connected with the ConstitutiOn are definite')
settled. I have received, and transmit herewith,
a letter from several prominent members of the
Republican organization in Alabama, urging a
reeefinneudation On my part Cf tho immediate
admission of the State by Congress, and
maintaining that the recent election, when psop
eily explained, will show a majority of the regis
tered voters as being in favor of the measure.
1 regret that it is not in my power to coincide
with these gentlemen, and cannot concur with
therd in their views, acknowledging the import
ance of the State being at the earliest moment
restored to her proper relations in the Union.
I cannot but look on the result of the recent
election as an expression of opinion that the
registered vote's do not desire to be restored un
der the Constitution submitted to thorn, and in
view of the recent acts of Congress to give the
ratification to a majority of the votes cast, 1
would prefer seeing the Convention reassembled
fora revision of the Constitution, and the revised
Censtitullowsubmitted to the people under the
new law/. I am of the opinion that a revised Con
stitution, more liberal in its terms, and confined
to the'requirements of the reconstruction laws,
would, in Alabama, as I have reason. to expect, it
will in Georgia and Florida, meet with the ap
proval of a majority of the registermi voters; and
I beg leave to call your attention to the difficulty
of carrying on a government in a State where so
small a proportion of those qualified to take part
in the government are in barer of. the organic
law,and to secure to a larger proportion of Aqua
must be,the governing class a more acceptable
Constitution.'

CONGRESI9.-SECOND SESSION*
DiADIR OP SATURDAY'S PROCKRDINGS.I
fliemetese
Mr. Jonnsme, of California, opposed use amend
ment at some login, professing blame:lo4 fever ~ti
the measure proposed by Mr. Horton. but asserting
that a reduction of tax tosl would result in thq ces
sation of fraud and the collection of a large amount of
revenue.
Mr. Witt/awe of Penneylvards, said the prop
osition of Mr. 'Morton was ineaustatent, starting
out, as it did, by taking the ground that there were
already penalties provided thatwerenot carried oat,
and yet proposing another. Whatproof was there,
that if /haslet Attorneys made dishonest compro
mises with drat d,tbey would not C01:1111 , 70 at the escape
of the same men from criminal proseetution. A•great
outcry had been raised about whisky frauds by the
very men who now, when a motion was protniied
lookipg to their pesecution, professed great system
thy for the poor distiller. He held that the tree
course to stop 'these trends was a proceeding in rem,
not a prosecution of individuals, and argued tha the
present provision was justifiable, and would be effec
tive.
Mr. NTH said the large distilleries in cities manu
factured for a foreign market, =thin? a Superior and
high priced article, upon which they could afford to
pay the tax.
tinanstert asserted that the distilleries of Ken
tucky and Onio made most of the whisky exported,
about 2,000,0G0 gallops.
Mr. Nee repeated that there were large distilleries
in New York that ma eafactured solely for exporta
tion. Were they to be closed up because others com
mitted frauds, and their stock lett ad their hands in
order to allow the government to dispose of the
whisky on hand frOm eelenres.
lieneetrOtta considered the tax as unreasonable
and as being the sole cause of the fraud. A proper
tax could be collected, and a tax of fifty cents would
produce mare revenue than one of They should
not start out with the idea that whisky was an outlaw
to be bunted down. In Indians the legitimate pro
ductioa of whisky bits been almost stopped, and this
measure would effectually put an end to it. The true
way was to impose such a tax as the manufacturers
would feel Wag Mt, min feel in honor bound to pay.
Mr. Mottniza, of Maine, said If it would be put upon
moral grounds, be maintained that the government
Amid not raise dollar from such a source, a poison
ous article and the frightful cause of crime. A. how
ever this was a nutter that might be left to the States,
be wag in favor of taxing It as a luxury to the highest
possible point.
Mr. finsnitsx said the only question now was
whether the bill was in such form as would be approv
ed by the people. It could not be further amended
without another committee of confereuee. He ex
premed some surprise tbatthe Sensterfrour Vermont,
among others, bad now opposed the section taxing
wholesale manufacturers.
Mr. Mounitt said he bad not been aware that lum
ber, breadstuffs, eke, were included.
Mr. Steinman called attention to the fact that it
could not imposes lax of more than two cents on a
barrel of dour, merely placing a tax of one-fifth of
one per cent on amounts over 155,000. it was not a
tax on breadetuffe, but on the wholeeale producer, and
too utterly insignificant as a reason for the delay of
the bill. He wetted that the provision had been in
troduced, for wit en, however, neither the House nor
the Senate were responsible It was inserted at the
urgent roiliest of the Commissioner of Internal Here
nne, who bad to d them that he could not collect any
revenue from whieky without it. It would not affect
the country dietricte. because there the distilleries
could be controlled, but is would prevent the immense
fraudencommitted in the cities.
Ile saw nothing alarming in the bill that would
work anyjmury. in a couple of months this whole
internal revenue matter would form the subject of
further legislation. It was necesas y to place this
povrer somewhere. He did not wish to et ter into a
general discussion of the varione points raised, though
be could show that the proposal of the Senator from
Indiana (Mr. Morton) was unjust and would be nuga
tory. He appealed for a vote to-night , as otherwise
they could not tell when the bill would be acted upon.
Mr. FitI2.I.I(GHOTP43I, of New Jersey , was ill favor
of the proposition to close up the distilleries. if in
nocent, it would not injure them, as the effect would
be to raise the price of the whisky in store. He de
nied that it would have the effect of an ex post facto
law by stopping the manufacture by persons engaged
in violating the law.
Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, argued that the conference
committee had no right to take cognizance of the
whisky . provisions. Such a proceeding defeated the
right of a distinct vote and the freedom of debate on
every question. He advocated at some length the
taxation of the capacity of distilleries as the only
practicable mode of collecting thereventie.
Mr. Howe declared himself in favor of collecting a
two dollar tax, but thon,eht this Nil would be Inopera
tive to do it, on which point he spoke at some length.
At 4:M e. a. Mr. Conkling called attention to the
little time that remained -- for-the action of another
committee of coil% reuse, Monday being set apart for
other business , and urged the friends of his report to
allow a vote to be had either on agreeing to the report
or on a motion to noneeemcur.
Mr. Howes° then moved to disagree, and asked an
other committee of conference.
Mr. Boxcens would vote to send the matter to an
other committee of conference, In order to provide
means for the collection of the tax as effectively as
possible.
Mr. Cementer believed the •tax could be collected,
and would vote for this and every measure tending to
enforce it.
Mr. Tnunnerea did not believe a tax of two dollars
was to be collected by inflicting extraordinary penal
ties. The crime could not be prevented by 'extremity
of penalty.
Mr. Hound's motion was agreed to by the follow
ing vote:

was paired with Mr. Morton, and Mr. Thayer, who

The CUAIR appointed as the new-committee of con
ference Meters. Sherman, Howard and Morton.
Mr. Tavarect.t. called up the bill to relieve the po
litics) dieablittic of B. R. Butler, of Tennessee.
Mr. Ihmicat.ew, of Pennsylvania, took the floor i u
opine:tom, but yielded at SP. X. to a motion to ad
journ, and the Senate adjourned.
(Nore.--The name of Mr. Yates was accidentally
omitted from the affirmative vote on the passaee of
the hill to amend the judiciary act over the Preside eV's
veto on Thursday Rseorrree.l
House of Representatives.
Mr. Iferinswownt, of Limns, at half-past two,
moved that the Mouse take a rt.'ceea from 1:30 to 7 ti.
si., the vote en the bill to be taken at 7:30, causing ex
pressions of disapproval on both! sides of the klonse.
.The SPNAKEII intimated that this was the last day
tor legistative action for some time.
Mr. BAtiliS suggested that the vote should be taken
new.
The motion of Mr. Farnsworth was rejected by a
large majority.
Mr. ELDRIDGE. of Wisconain, then proceeded to
address the Renee in oppoaltion to the bill. He re
ferred to the various movements of Congress against
the exectr ire and the judicial departments of the
government, and saw. in all these movements, men
aces against the peace and security of the country.
There had even been a apposition, he said, which
had probably emanated from the usurping Secretary
et War, to disband the Capitol police, and to supplant
that force with a tnilitary force, and if that proposition
had not been noticed and defeated, Congress would
have been to-day legislattog under the gleam of the
sword, and the Supreme Court would have been in
terprettug the laws et the point of the bayonet. fie .
declared that Alabama, eras a State in the Union,
• masts the history of the last five years was a lie; un
less the war for the suppres4on,of the rebellion was a
monstrous crime; anlesa every man who
fought in the war on either side was a
conscious traitor. The bill, he said could be
justified by no man not filled with infernal
hatred of our form of gevenatent and not desiring Its
• overthrow. It must, It could only end in blood, and
no man in his senses could upset anything else. The
white race had never in thelistorrof the world been
subject to the black race. ,The, madnese or folly of
Congress could never conipel the white man to submit
to .African domination or government. Ho was glad
that the Reconstruction Committee and thogentle
man from Pennsylvants, Mr. Stevens, had the hardi
hood to proclaim the revolutirmary parpoee to build
up a mighty nation on the ruins of the old Union. He
wished the people of the States which denied waiver-is
sal negro suffrage to take heed and understand that no
State shall ever, according to the report of the Recon
struction Committee, be admitted until the right of
universal suffrage shall have been made permanent
2nd impossible of violation. He- read extracts from
speeches made hy Mr. Colfax and by Mr. Bingham,
In the house of Representatives, against enforcing the
Lecompton Constitution on the people of Kansas, and
applied the sentiments to the case of Mahan). 4, and
sated what had caused the most remarkable charm in
the times and opinions of those gentlemen. Was it
the emigration now going on from the States of the
South, crushed by military despotism, into the
.State of Kangas r The course of Congress on
this measure would not 'restore good eovern
ment and prosper' y to all time. No man wee
--Mete - arisione than - trimeetr - to - lem - ttur - Statee
Alabama and the other States of the South represented
in congress; bat ho could not be a party to this bas
tard Constitution-ethis negro government. He could
not he a party to such an outrage, not only on Ala -
Mune. bu on all the States of the Union. With bra
- views, he'could not impose title Constitetion upon
the people of Alabama, if it had been formed by - the
angels In Heaven instead of by 'Ciingress.` The acts
of today would affect this Republm for . centuries for
gam or for evil. The idea of the white-people of Ala
bama submitting to a Constitution tam forced upon
them was utterly absurd •and preposterous. He had
not 50 mean an opinion of them as to suppose they
would submit; they might submit so long as they were
in the presence of and were overawed by a standing
army, hut PO longer. The hour would certainly come
when time pride of race and blood would not. brook the
eotninati on of inferior men—when the white temple of
the State. conschaus of the great wrong inflicted ,on
them, and conscious of their Gori-gtven strength and
their right to be free, would rise in their might and
drive into the sea the African rulers; platted over them
by Congress. In conclusion, be read sortie mire ex=
tractsfrom a speech of Mr. fluaghem's on the Santee
question, only substitutlngthe name -3f Alabamt for
that of Sweaty and shoWed how. :emirate!, they ap
plied to the present question.
Mr. 'Wri,trams, or Pennsylvania. stated that be
Ohouktvotturgainfit the bill, Ind-thet, asefrusehenid be
found at letfiatice -with many of his own political
friettle, he desired to give the reasons *bleb had
brought him to that conclusion. Ile did not Where
it either, sescniial or wise to compel the peefOo of
Alabama to enjoy the privileges of the Union and to
share in its governMent against their will.
.!,Ir there was any considerable- nurabrirof-whitenten
in the South who bad any sense of contrition for wh rt
they bed done beyond tnat feeling of remorse which
swayed the heart of oaten and tits .ieers, only because
their enterpriee bad failed, he had not rseen the evi
dence of it. He did nJt believe in compelling those
incorrigible delinquents Into an association of power
with a people whom they hated, and a government
which they had striven to overthrow.
Butonsm addressed the House in advocacy of
the bill, putting it on the statesman-lite axiom. that
it you cannot get all you wish, you etiould get all you
can. lie thought, however, that sufficient restriction
had already been imposed on the people of Al Oaten.
and, theretore. be was opposed to the third rection. It
aas authorized neither by the laws nor the ConstOu-
Von. It was the right of the people to alter or amend
thc ir Constitution, subject only EA the Constitution of
the United btates, and they could not he deprived of
that right. The American system would be a total
failure if the people could not be treated
with that right, There was no colorable ex
cuse for attempting to engraft such a pro
vision on the statute book. I cannot, he said,
shut my eyes to the great fact that this gov
einment was built by white men upon ideas, if not in
stincts, that were peculiar to the race—that the pre
dominating element is still the same, and that there is
no reason to expect that in tee long' future it will ever
put on any other complexion. In saying this. I
would not be understood to disparage the 'political
rights of any race that fate or fortune has cast upon
our shores, whether it be the docile African, or the
other and more turbulent one that comes by ship loads
with its old world ideas and its anti-republican in.
'Uncut in church and State, to fill the ranks and feed
the wasting reservoir of the so-called American Demo
cracy. We have there both to deal with, as we have
had the Spaced and the Frenchman, and have now
the Mexican and the Indian, and under the new per
chase of the President and the Senate, If reunited here
which Hod forbid—the Brquimatix or mongrels'of the
Polar ties, and must do the beat we can to incorporate
and assimilate, if we can, these heterogeneous ele
ments by educating them into a love of order
and a just appreciation of the rights of man.
But nobody. I suppoee, would think of construct
ing a dnrab'o republican State from either of
these materials w thont a judicious, intermixture—a
hide leaven or flavoring, at least—of that high in
stinct which pats the man's above the State, and nas
In rho process of ages evolved stability and jurispru
dence from the fowlers of Individual manhood, and,
as a consequence, a just retpect for the rlghta and fib
erties of all.
Ihe negro, as we know has just taken o ff the
chains that have shackled h is limbs and bound down
his higher faculties for more than two hundred years.
That be will be able to maintain himself for any con
siderable time, even by superior numbers, without a
considerable amount of support from loyalists with
white skins, in the presence of -the stronger and.l3l4te
sublimated, if- not higher ethnic element, I do not
believe. When you bring these two races -nay, any
two races—in juat opposition on terms of equality and
rivalry, the weaker will be sere to go to the wall. Just
as among the white race the Celtic man has always
succumbed in the presence of the stronger Teuton. as
well on the continent of Europe as elsewhere.. With
the white element divided, as in Tennessee, I should
have felt no difficulty on this score; but where It is all
black on one side and white on the other I see no
safety; and at I look for no great popularity in the
measure here without inquiring whether an antece
dent ratification Is such a one as the Constitution re
quires in that case, the amendment in question is not
already a part of that instmment, and I think it only
necessary to say that the reservation is an idle one.
Is there any way of enforcing it? If there be, what
is it Y
Is this defaulting State to be expelled, or is it now
to be nullified by legislation here? Where will gentle
men find the power to do either? Does it rat on the
contract of the Constitution? If on the former, how
is that to 'confer on Congress a jurisdiction which
the Constitution does not give. or to take away from
the Mates • power that is expressly reserved to the
States respectively, and to the people: I have no
faith in each stlpalations. They confess a condition
of things which we are not ripe for--unconditional
reetoratlon. Ido not choose to anticipate by taking
such a risk. I prefer to wait until all ie at least appa
rently safe. There will be danger enough even then.
It is no easy task to construct a friendly republican
Stale with hoetile elements so formidable to be dealt
with. Be JO but an apprentice in political science who
thinks it can be done tither in a emery or without the
co-operation of a clear majority of the people. No
good thine, no machine, certainly, of a construction
ro delicate or complex as the organization of a State,
was ever perfected Ina hurry. We can afford to wait.
I warn the gentleman that we cannot afford to coin
mit an error. It was quite incomdatent with that Con
gress had already done totichtng the matter of recon
struction, and he hoped it was Inconsistent with all
that Congress would hereafter do on that subject. Ile
also opposed the section offered by Mr. Steven., im
posing conditions an the admission of - Alabama - into
the Union. and hear:waled to the House to reject it.
The construction of it he declared to be to confer suf
frage on women and children. The substitute offered
by ale colleague (Mr. Spalding) he characterized as a
total departure from the legislation of Congress on
the subject. Be could not sanction that part of it,
particularly that which enabled the Legislature to pro
pose amendments to the Constitution and submit
them to the people. There was nothing like it in the
past history of the country.
Mr. DAWNS reminded him that in reference to the
admission of Nebraska the Congress had added an
amendment to the Constitution, and required the
Li•_gifilature to accede to it.

of the Federal Conatitution
Mr. Bingham then proceeded to advocate the vis
tape of the bill with the third section S truck out, and
predicted that members who voted for it would tind
themselves tn9Gurucd by their constituents, and se4-
Lathed in the hereafter by the action of the pet.ple of
Alabama themselves. Referring , to. Mr. Fidtid re':
phsraphrate and the speach of hituaelt and the Speaker

Mr. DAWES said he would be very glad to vote for
the bill as it came from the committee, either with or
without the third section, if he could see in it any
guarantee of security to the people of Alabama. Ile
bad wanted to hear the gentleman from Ohio (61r.
Bingham) on some doubts which he entertained, but
he regretted that that gentleman teemed so eatisfied
with his own ideas that ho was disposed to proclaim
them as the lex seripta of the Rouse, and to permit
no man to behind them; ast condlusive evidence of
what the House should do. The proposition of the
gentleman's colleague (Kr. Spalding) secured to the
people of Alabama everything secured to them by the
original . hilLeseept one thing, that was representation
in Congress.
The theory on which all this legislation wont was
that the moment representation was eecured in the
House and Senate, the State passed from under the
control of Congress, and that whatever the State might
do afterward could no more be interfered with in Ala
bama than it timid be in Massachusetts. It was pro
posed by the substitute offered by the gentleman from
Ohio (dr. Spalding) to legislate So that everything
which the Constitution of Alabama secured to the
people should be secured to them, except to mere
eentation in the branches. He confessed tint he had
undergone some change in views In the year he had
been here touching the idea of representation in these
two branches. Ho bad in times past struggled to se
cure representation in single districts, as the armies of
the United States cleared out the rebellious element;
but be was satisfied now that, instead of representa
tion in Congress being the first thing, it should ho the
last thing.
The State should be first - built up, indivNual and
personal rights secured, the damage wrought by the
rebellion repaired, and stability and security made
certain• and representation should follow and grow
out of that security, and not be the means ol bringing
about the seem:ley Itself . It should be the last thing,
and not the first.
31r. BTAVENS, of Pennsylvania, rose at the Clerk's
dear, and said: Mr. Speaker, I desire to say a few
words In reference to the condition of this bill, Some
flare - atm Congress passed' all - Atabaltin
and other waste territory of the United States to form
constitutions, If possible, eo as to make them fit to
associate with civilized communities. It gave them
a certain ion of limo for, the purpose of doing so.
It was provided—vvheiher wisely or unwisely it is not
for me to say—that the State of Alabama and the
other States, after having all their voters registered,
should require a majority of all the registered voters
to adopt such a conethution. Unfortunately, Alabama
did not find a majority to come up to the law which
had been utieeetl. It failed of that majority by a gi)11-
f 3 iderablo number. The llouse had seen this.difficulty
below it finally happened, and had pawed an act
giving power to those States to act with ahem, major
ity, according to our majority principle. The Senate
dipapreed, with a wisdom which ,haa characterized it
far above this House In many just such disastrous
issues.
They let that bill lie upon the table over two

months,- although urged to take it up and page it be
low the w to of Alabama took place. That vote took
place, and only a minority of the roOstered voters
voted for ibcConstitntion; hence it Is that we aro now
called upon either to reject this State or ettolate our
own enabling act, which alleWad it to eater up en cer
tain conditions. There is , nothing that prevents us
from violating that act if we deem it tinder. I am
oaten reminded by gentlemen around - me, some very
wise end some otherwise (laughter), that I have said
more,than once that all t rose are outside of the (ion-,
etitutlon. He is otherwise who thinks lbat this Ye
sertion is not true [Laughter among the Democrats.]
This vet proceeding shows that this House 'believes'
that It ' is acting. not . according to,the forme of the
Crnsfitntior, which permit no such CaSeif of lapsed
territory--tortie-tormedanto•ctimulianitlea-and-branght
into the nation. Wbeti-Western Virginia was intro
diced, and I first made that declaration. it waa admit
ted by a majority of the House, on thegronad that it
had complied with the forms of tke Constdation in
acquiring the , consent of both States while one had
ceased to exist long before, and the other one existed
in (Ado (taught r). I voted for the; admission of that
State; but 1 was not Poing tht makb either a fool or a
knave of myself, and to say that 1.-voted for it under
ti t
the Constitution, or that I did n t know what I was
voting for, I held then, as I hold now. that, having
conquered that territory from snot ti er power, a power
recognized as an independent belligerent by all the
sovereign nations of the earth, b ourselves as well
as others; we had a right to treat it as such, and to
take it in or keep it out as , we pleased. I said then
that the Constitution bad nothing to do with it ; but I
would inform my learned friende from the bashes
(laughter) that while I speak of being outside of the
(Arnstitutlon, I do not mean that the Constitution
does not recognize theta* of nations. It does recog=-
nize the law of nations, and the aaw of nations re
cognizes the right of the conquering power to do with
the conquered territory just, as it' pleases . I trust I
I shell hear nothing more. after thiia explanation, from
my most obtustical friends, who have often seemed
so ienorant of what I mesht. or of what they were
talking about. [Laughter. 3 • ,
Now, Mr. Speaker, what are we to say with reference
to Alabama? I confess to you that I am not entirely
clear as to what we ought to do. As a just and wise
but y wo have power ander the Constitution to admit
new Stater, whether made out of fragments of a con
federacy, or oat of fragments of a foreign nation, or
by any other process when we come to agree with
those States I bold, moreover, that when you come
to admit new States, you can admit them on A ust such
terms as may be agreed upon; they are parties capable
of contracting, capable of proposing and of consenting;
and until they have loot that power of consent by
having become actually incorporated in another body,
they have a right to enter into each contracts ; and.
alter they have gone into it, and it is partly executed,
they are bound to fulfill it. Row was it with reference
to Texas when she was admitted? There was not only
a condition Unposed by Congress, but there was a
proposition made to that State to sell her wild lands
and pay her debts—the lands consisting of over fifteen
hundred millions of acres, and the debt being over
$20,000,000. The debt was afterwards paid, to be KIM.
But because Texas could not .pay It, did anybody
ever doubt that it was a valid and pa binding contract
on the people of both sections—of both nations, if you
please, for then they were both nations or both con
contracting pewee'. It would be an indication of great
ignorance on the part of members of the Rouse if it
were needed that I should enumerate the numerous
Cf.. , ,Pii in which conditions have been proposed and ac
cepted and acted upon, and never violated. They
wire proposed to Missouri, to Arkatteas, and to other
ettiteP, but I will not enumerate thew. •
For anybody to say that any tract of land coming
here end saying there are one hundred thousand peo
ple here, is a Constitution under which we would like
to be ore of the members of your nation. For any
body to say that we could not admit them and send
that Mem real Coestitu Lion to their people to be voted
upon, and if carried, to be acted upon here forever
atter, seems to me to be a degree of ignorant:o which I
will not presume to exist in this House, 14 then, we
have a right to do it in all instances in which we ad
mit new States Into the Union, the only question here
is, although this State him not lived up to this enabling
ate, a re we prepared to admit her people as tree to as
red lute with freemen. a few of whom so sympathized
with the rebels that they were unwilling to let those
poor men into the Union at all? [Laughter.]
What is that Constitution'? It is that every man of
se incient age (twenty-one) shall be entitled to vote at
their erections. If I were certain that those who had
perjured themselves and altompted to break down this
elorione Union would live and abide by their cont-act,
and not attempt further to destroy usi if we admit this
terrible leaven, I shotud not hesitate; There are no
home, no omissions that would keen' me from admit
mg them into the Union at once. I confess I have
my doubts—l am sorry for it--as to whether. after we
shall have admitted them into the union, and after the
rocrrow's sun shall have vet upon there, they will not
be ready to call a new convention had re-establish
kJ avery fn some shape or form.
We know very well the ingenuity of these men.
We abolished slavery, except for crime; but I have
Moen informed or twenty cases in which men have
teen sold into bondege and are now serving in it.
t. 1.0 case fe in Florida, where, oar Commiseioner of
Freedmen informed me, he had seen six of them sold

There are hundrede this day in the Southern. States

They have so altered the law that they have introduced
the evetem:of pconage,even worse Mexicte,or,the
middle southern provinces—and yet what shall we do.
We meet try so to eh:_ekle them in some way that
iehife. we are admitting their fraudulent white men,
we are securing tho poor, ignorant black man from
their impositions. Hence it is that I have moved to
r ike out all atter the fret section, and insert in its
mace white. I think it will be a complete shackle;
but the proposition of the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Bingham) to strike out the third section is all, I must
eay, in the interest of slavery . I - have offered my

Mr. Frsysau asked how he could help it
Mr. BorTwr.m. replied that if he were affirming the
preposition, It would be his business to perfect it;

lie went on to say that he was in favor of the bill, but
oppofed to Mr. Stevens' amendment, which had
teen offered after the bill had been agreed upon in
cr.mmittee. That amendment would open up to

he would exclude men who were not convicted'

ray that the conditions declared to he fundamental
5.” the third section of the bill were in entire hnniony
ith nine precedents in the government, and were
within the rale laid down by the gentleman trom Ohio
. Mr. Bingham), to wit: That they were do harmony
with the Constitution, and not in any sense outside of
it. or extraneous to it, and were conditions that, were
necessary for the security of the people of Alabama,
if that State was to be admitted into this Union.
Mr. Mitbun, of Pennsylvania, favored the admission
of Alabama under the Constitution presented. He
acid he was very anxious for the late rebellious States
to have representation in Congress, and be restored to
all their political rights, and that military rule be dis
pensed with as soon as could be done with safety to
the country Ile approved of the Constitution pre
sented. and the only barrier :that teemed to be in the
way was that the vote on the ratification of the Con
stitution was not one-half of f e lla registered voth, said
to be 170,000. The whole number of voted pulled, as
reported, was 71,817, of which 70,b12, were cast in
favor, and 1,085 against the ratification of the Cons
rititut ion, showing a majority of 09,807 in favor of its
adoption, or 18,182 votes less than;one-half the re
ported registered vote. He contended it was difficult
to tell the number of qualified electors at the time the
vote was taken, ear:any names were defectively reg
istered, and a large number, had left the State, and
others died, and stated that the proof shower that
mazy were deprived of the right of voting. He also
argued that there was nothing in the reconstruction
laws to prevent its admission that the act made it
imperative when at least one-halt voted; lint this did
not prevent Congress from passing a law admitting
Alabama. As the law now stood a.mere majority was
enfilcient. Why then put Alabama to the trouble and
the government to the expense of going through the
form of another election ? Those who ratified to vote
bad no reason to complain.
Mr. Fautisivourrif, of Illinois, closed the debate.
He said that the bill was opposed by tho gentleman
from Maseachwietts (Mr. Dawes) and others on the
Republican side, because it would give the Stato into
the hands of the rebels; and was opposed by the mem
bers on the Democratic' side because it would put the
, 'tate-Into the hands of loyal-med. 4,"Who ahoald de
cide when doctors disagree?"
He argued thtt to reject Alabama now, after she had
gone through the struggle, would be only to encourage
rebels and to'dlbourage loyal men.
Mr, Muss, of Pennsylvania, suggested in this con
nection that bellied the original letter sent in January,
/860, to Captain Francis Lyons, who had just been dis
charged from the Federal army, notifying him to quit
the Kate of Alabama, adding that Captain LyOus had
remained, and bad, a feW months later, been brutally
murdered. This was when Andrew Johnson bad began
to inspire the rebels . evith fresh courage, and whoa the
whole power of the Siete was being placed by him in
the bands of disloyal men. -
Mr....ranrceworern resumed, and said that be had let

Alabama, but th spare the loyal people the mortifica

of Alabama shell be recognized and admitted into the

such alteration. If the right of suffrage in the State
of Atabiuna should ever be reduced below the univer
sal right therein provided for, all legislation admit
ting said State into the Union shall be null and void.
The amendment was rejected wittibut a division,
and the ontstion then recurred on the substitute
offered by Mr. Spalding for the original bill,as follows:
That the Constitution framed by the Convention of
Alabama, which was submitted for ratification by the
people at an election commencing on the .4th day of
February, 2868. Is hereby declared to ho the funda

bama for ratification, at such time or times as it may
designate. And said Legislature is also empowered
by a majority vote of each House to submit the said
