CONGRESSIONAL. SENATB.— Yesterday afternoon. the Recon- struction bill being under consideration— Mr. Sherman, to an assertion that be had come to Mr. Sum- ners platform, said he had done nosach som God forbid. He would never agree to exclude the Southern ple from parti t of their own States. He regarded this as a great Ould not vote for it with- out regret. He thought it onght to tarn every Tebel out of office. He objected to the disfran- cbieing clause in the House amendment. He regretted that it had been inserted, but weuld vote for it notwithstanding. He would say also that just as soon as the Southern States were reconstructed properly he weuld vote to re- peal the disq vaiifications im the third section of the constitutional amendments. Mr. Jobnsoa. Mr. President, I have felta solicitude fer condition of the country con- sequent upon the exclusion of the Southern States from their right of representation in this body that 1 want words toexpress. The view that I have entertained is that in their present condition they are entitied to be represented But the Corgress of the United States, from the termination of the rebellion to the present ‘ime, bave taken a diffrent view, and 1 have lost all hopes of seeing them at an early day, if at any day, with the consent of Congress, rein - stated in their original condition. Nothing can be worse thar the state in which they are new placed; desolation around them; all rights denied them of a political character: and on the floor of the Senate, to say nothing of noth r branch of the Government, their char- acter as men bas been aspersed in terms which bave caused me nothing but the deepest re- egret. If l bad my own way, I would at once receive them in this Chamber, with a heart full of conviction that they would be true to their duty to the country, and thatthey would promote its permanent interest. Bat I have not my way. I am obliged, therefore. to ac- quiesce in the decision of that majority ot Congress, however erroneous or unjust I may believe that decision to be, provided I believe that it willend in a comparatively short time in restoring the Southern States to the brother- hood of States. I am unwilling that this Con- grees shall adjourn without the adoption of some measure that bolds out a hope, however distant, that this may be the result of our de- liberations; and believing that this willbe done by the adoption of the measure as it now stands before you, 1 shall give it my vote, not because 1 approve of it in the abstract or in the particular, but because I think 1 see ia ita mode of rescuing the eountry from the perilous predicament in which it is now placed. Mr. Stewart congratulated Mr. Johnson that he bad progressed co far toward universal saf- —— and universal amnesty as to yote tor this bill. After further debate, in which Messrs. Hen- daricks, Buckalew, Cowan, and Howe par- ‘icipated, the Senate took a recess until 7:30 p.m. At the evening session, Mr. Trambuil called up the joint resolution of the House authoriz- ing the employment ofa United States vessel for the tragsportation of contributions of tood and clothing for the destitute people of the South. It was passed. The reconstruction bill was taken up. Mr. Doolittie offered an amendmen: to the House amendment, as follows: a to the Jast section the following pro- viso: Provided, That nothing in this act contained shall be construed to disfranchise any persens in eitber of the said States from voting or hoid~ ing office who have received pardon and am- nesty in accordance with the Constitution and laws, Mr. Doolittle took the floor in support of his amendment, prefacing with some remarks on the condition of affairs in the South, anda deniai of the statements made by certain Rad- ical Senators as to crime and lawlessness exist- ing there. Mr. Sherman said that if the House amend- ments were too harsh the Southern peopie had the Demecratic party in the House te thank for it. It wasa tact very well known thats majority of the Union party were in favor of the Senate amendment. A minority of the Union party, assisted by every Democrat, uni- ted to defeat ihe acceptance of this proposition in the House, and lett it open to fu T amend- ment, with the result now befere the Senate. Mr. Hendricks defended the action of the Democrats in the House. amendment was then re- jected—yeas 8, nays 32. The amendments of the House were then eave in by the following vote—yeas 35, ys 7.
