( Laughter.) Mr. Morrill proceeded to argue against the general objections to negro snffrage, urging that we have made the negro an American citizen, and he is entitied to the common rights of American citizenship. Mr. Willey expisined the provisions of his amendment, making a reading and writing qualification requisite. Mr. Wilson argued in favor of unqualified manhood suffrage. He was against the qual- ification of reading and writing, and had op. posed itin his own State. He was in favor of the House bill with an amendment he would offer, requiring @ residence of one year in the District and 1x months in the ward. Mr. Willey inquired if manhood suffrage aid not mean intelligent suffrage! Looking to the antecedents of the colored peopie of the Dis- trict. the most of them just emerged from the lowest type of barbarism, was it pot necessary to jay down some rule to protect the great right of enffrage from injury. The question on the amendment of Mr. Wit- ley was being further argued when we left. Itseems to be improbable that « vote will be Teached to-day on the bill.
