been considered by the Coniiiii:tee on
Public Lands, and he understood the
Committee was unanimous in favor of it.
Mr. JUL IAN / corroberated that state
ment.
Mr. LOGAN protested againi-t one
Committee censidering the business that
properly belonged to another Commit
tee. There were.two Committees, each
of which had more jurisdiction than the
Committee on Public Lands had. Those
were the Committee on Pacific Railroad
and on Railroads• and Canals. If the
Chairman of Pacific •Railroad Committed
were to allow such business to be taken
jurisdiction of by other -Cormnittees, he
(Mr. Logan) wanted to know it, for he
would decline serving on such Qon:itriit
tee any further. •
Mr. WHEELER, Chairman of the Pa
cific Railroad Comnlittee, said he had
been absent on account of illness, and
did not know tinything of the subject
before the House. The gentleman" from
Illinois would find him as zealous for the
rights of the Pacific Railroad Committee
as be was himself.
Mr. LOGAN said he made no imputa
tion on the gentleman.
Mr. ALLON this class of bills
had usually lS been referered to the Commit
tee on Public Lands.
Mr. JULIAN said the Codunittee had
not assumed any jurisdiction. It had
merely considered the bill informally to'
accommodate the gentleman from lowa.
Mr. WINANS, another member of. the
Committee on Public Lands, said the bill.
had been.informally considered and op
posed by the members of that Committee.
Mr. LOGAN inqulrui by what right
that Committee had considered a subject
not referred to it?
Mr. WINANS replied the members of
the Committee had considered it by vir
tue of the , right which God and their
constituents had given them.
Mr.LOGAN—A Godviven right:that is
a new feature In legislation. (Laughter)
Mr. WINANS moved an anieridment,
providing that the company shall have
no more or greater proportion of land or
other aid than it would have been enti
tled to if the act had not been passed.
The question was further discussed by
Metiers Ward, Clarke, Paine and Tale,

ported back the Senate concurrent./reso
lution fora joint Special Com tuitte on ;he

Senate had :dime thou appointed a Special
Committee of Rs own. •
Mr. BROOKS said he trusted the ru
mor that the Reconstruction Committee
would soon report a general bill, for
amnesty would pruve true—amnesty not'
for one party alone, but far men of both
parties, v:ithont preference or distinction.
Sir.*BUTLER. said he thought and
hoped the Reconstruction Committee
would come to the ante conclusionthat
there should be some means by which
men could bare their political disabill
ties 'removed without having to come to
Congress, and getting It throughornnibus
bills. He hoped within 'a day or two to
present to the Howie for reference to that
Committee some,such proposition.
