THE ELVCTIVE YRANCTISE IN THR DIRTRICT, At twenty minutes pact twelve clock, there being no forther new basiness before the Sennto, the bill to regu late the elective francbise in the District of Columbia was taken up. - On Mr. Cowan's amendment to strike out the word “male” the Onain said Mr. Brown, (rep.) of Mo., was entitled to the floor, Nir. Brown said he did not think the pending amend- ment offered by Mr. Cowan was intended in good faith for practical legislation. If it were intended to be put into practical effect be was one of those who believed it. would be necessary to accompany it by a gocd deal of other legislation to prevent it from degenerating into abuse and corraption. But accepting the matter in the light he had stated he, for one, witling express his opinion ‘froely on this subject. T have to ray, said Mr. Brown, that T stand for universal eufrage, and do not recognize the ight of sowiety to limit it on ony ground of race, color orsex. 1 will go further, sir, aod say that I recognize the right of franchise as being an intrinsical and ; and 1 do not believe that rociety bas the right to impose any limitation upon that right, that does not xpring out of the necessity of the social’ state iwelf, These may seem extreme views, but they con- form: to the rigid logic of the question; ‘and I defy any Fenator on this floor to escape from them. 1 bave been shocked during the coorve of this debate at expressions which I have heard so often fall from the lips of dis tinguished Sevetore, paying that they recognize in this Tight of franchiee eobstnutially no right at ull; that it was simply # privilege conceded by society for the gov- eroment Which represents society; that it wae a gra- jour boon from somewhere, avd for which we should feel I (and thankful. To ether words, it was not a raht in any senée. Mr. President, Ido not hold my liberties by any sch teoure, T shonld grieve to think Twas dependent excivsively, in a matter of right, upon the views of society, which may represoni only majorities for these nghta On the contrary, 1 be heve that whenever you establish that as the doctrine, wheaever you erystalize that idea in the public mind in this country, you ring the death knell of American lib- ‘erty, Decause you Imy it open to overthrow whenever corraptions shall prevail to such an extent, and when- ever majorities shail become suffleiently exasperated. Mr. President, so important and crucial, so to speak, do 1 doom this position that I trast T may be pardoged if I refer to the abstract ground upon which I deem it to fest; and I do this the more because, in my be- lief, ultimetely the metaphysi v8 controls the practical in life. Now, sir, what are abstract righta, and are there any intrinsicaliy conditions that go to constitute Hberty im society? Thad occasion a year or two since, in discussing this question very fully be- fore my own constituents, to review this subject: and, as 1 then presented =the argument perhaps more succinctly and freely than 1 may now do in the course of debate, 1 will, by leave, refer t@ jton this occasion, Mr. Brown then read a to, was be opponents of female eutite ca.

Sir, ff it were tel me to determine what should be the trne qualification of a person to exercise the right of suffrage, if it were a mere question, I would fx it upon that, that the head of a amily, capable ol pperting that family, and that had supported a family, should be permitted to vote, and ndne others. And, Mr. President, while 1 know that the question is not a sew one, it is impossible for me to treat it as a new question, because suflrage been oxtended every- where beyond the heads of families. Yet, sir, the reason, in my judgment, why it has been extended is simply this:—If certain men fsnve been permite! to voto who were not heads of familics, i was because they ‘were exceptions to the general rule, anid because it was te be presumed that if they are not vow the heads of families, they ought to be, and probably will be. I say, Mr. President, that according to reason, nature ard religion, the famity ts the untt of human society so far as the ballot is concerned, and. in my judgment, it = resents this fundamental clement of herman jioty. Tt should therefore be cast by the bead of the tamiy; end, according to reason, nature and religion, the man is the head of the family. In that relation, while every man is king every woman 1s queen, and upen man develves the responsibility of controlling tho external relations of hie family, and these external relations are con- trolied by the ballot; for that ballot or vote which he casts oes to whooso the Irgislators who are to make the laws which ore ‘0 govern society, Within the family circle man is supreme. He governs by the law of the family, by the law of reason, nature 2nd religion.

The bill revorted yesterday by Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, from the Judiciary Committee, repealing provisions of the law of April, 3790, 80 as to prevent treason and capital offences from being barred by the statute of lim!- Aublons, came up as the first business in the morning our. Mr. Jenckes, (rep.) of R. 1., obtained the floor, and spoke in opposition to the bill.’ The act of 1790, he raid, ‘provided the punishment of death for four offences treason, wilful murder, piracy and forvery, Forgery had since ceased to be a capital offence. “Murder was excepted from the limitation of the act Piracy could be punished in any civilized nation, This bill. thero- fore, applied only to casos of treason, He considerad it impolitic and unwise to rveddlo with the statutes of ing competent. Now we may as well speak truly on this 4,limitation. They were statutes of ropose and peace, question When aman tells me, for instance, that the Indians of the States and Territories are competent to exercise this great right of suffrage, he tells mo what I cam not be maile to believe, and what seems to me to be impossible for any man to believe. When a man telis me that the Afnieans in this country, just set free on the plantations, spoeking of them ag a mase, not exceptional cases—for there are a great many excep- tionat cases of intelligent colored men, who are compe- tont to exercise this right-but when 9 man tetieme that ay amass these men jnst set free are competent to ex- erci¢e the richt of enffraze and help to make the taws of this great republic, he teils me what is perfectly abhor- ront to ty senso of just reasoning and propneby. Sir, it would be a burlesqaé on repabjican institutions, and we woold rake ourselves the inighiae stock of tho world were we to eny that these slaves, three or fore millions of thom that have jugt been set free from a bondage ot two hopdred years In this country, and who in the conniry from whieb they came have vever risen from a ‘2 porrtion the most degrada 0: any on the face of the earu)—to wel? me that Uney are e@acated and experienced the woment their ehackies are stricken off, and are in a condition to exereive this high right of suffrage, ww contrary to reason in my jndgment. If seems to mo perfectly Impossible, Mr. Doolittle then rererred to the ion, fh ad decided Uns qnestion i ‘The iesne, he said, in- stead of having been made, was avoided everywhere. The idea of universal negro sufirege as the basis of re- n was avoided everywhere in. every State of the Union. it may be possible that in Messachneette it wes not—Iam not 0 sure aboot that; but ip every State where there was anv fear o! loving the election it was avoided. In conclasion, Mr. Doolitfle eaid ho conld not possibly vote for a universal sutfroge bill. Perhaps he might vote for qualified snffrage. r Mr, Powwroy, (rep.) of Kansas, explained briefly his opposition to the pending ameodment. He did not wish to complicate the question before the whieh was colored suffrage oniy. The bill now p was to be a model for others on the same enbject, and he did not wish to bring the question of female suftrage inte it. The yeas end nays were then called on Mr, Cowan's amendment to strike out the word “male” before the word “‘person,”? which resulted as follows;— Yras—Messrs. Anthony, Rrown, Buckslew, Gowan, Fos ter, Neemith, Patterron, Riddle and Wade—, Nays—Mesers, Cattel ier, Connoes, vig, Dixon, Doolittie, Edmunds, Fess huysen, Grimes, Harrig, Henderson Nowe, Kirkwood, Lane.

So the amendment was not adopted. . Mr. Dixon, (rep.) of Conn, ofiered thé following amendment :— Fnsert at the end cf the first rection of the propos aub- stitute of the Committee on the District of Columbia the words:—Provided. that not a person who has heretofore voted in the Distriet shall be permitted ta vote uniesa be shail be ab the time of offering to vole, to read and also to welle bis wn name, Mr. Drxow said his amendment was intended asa pro- tection to the baliot. He intended to vote for the bill if thos gmended. Color or race should be the test of the right to vote, bnt be doxzbted the propriety of giving the suffrage to any man who could not read or write. Mr. Hexowens, (dem.) of Ind, said that, as a general Proposition, he was not in favor of basing’ the right ‘to vows upon intelligence, in regulating the right of lo, He should not vote Dixon's rodure into (ue ct persons who ny ercise of the franchise, he fel qualification. Mr. Saruenpny, (dem.) of Del., solid he believed that upon the passage of this bill the Bever satistied abolition element of this country would put itself 10 work and flood the District with as many free negroesns possibte, #048 to getthe District under negro control, a necro Mayor and a negro Common Council, so that there shonid be at least one free pegro government in the Americon Union. Aithough be was not in favor of female suffrage for the reasons so well eteted by others, still, with a view of delaying as faras possible such a catastrophe as was proposed, he bad tried to bring bis mind to vote for female suffrage, but it would have been to vote for negro as well as white women. Under no circum. stances, here, ip his own State or wherever he might bo located, would he vote for negro suffrage. It was but the beginning. of the fore ng of negro saffrage every- where throughout this country. ‘This bill was, in the language of the Senator from Kansas (Mr. Pomeroy), a model to be copied aiter thronghont the S at least throughout the States of the Northwest. Neither could he vote tor the proposition of the Senator from Connecti- cut. What was the test? A person who could read or write his name—a wonderful amount of education to quality aman for the discharge of the high office and trust of votiag!

Mr. Parwn, (rep.) of Wis, introduced a bill for the annual publication of the report on the progrese of the survey of the northern and northwestern lakes Re- ferred to the Committee op Printiog. CALIPORMA LAND TITLES. Mr. McRuxe, (rep.) of Cal., introduced a bill to quiet the titles of lands in the town of Santa Clara, California, Referred to the Cominitiee on Public Lands. CREDENTIALS OF A REPRESENTATIVE PROM TERAR Mr. Coorar, (dem. ) of fenn., presented tne credenjials Courts had of late years treated them with greater reepect than formerly, and in no clasp of cases ebould they bo more stringently applied than in cases arising during periods of sedition and rebellion. ‘All persons to be affected by the propozed change of the law had been within the rallitary ana civil power of the government for twenty months. "If indictments had not been fonnd and the guilty prosecuted and punished, tt was owing 10 the insufficiency of the judicial depart- ment and the clemency of the exenutive. It was here that the remedy should. be applied. If this Congress shovld repeal this statute of limitation another Congress might repeal theve statutes of indemnity snd timitation parred by the just Congrere, and thus revive the causes of presecut'on ngainst thousands of servants of the ra public who had execated in the army the commands of their officers in the enppreseion of the rebellion. It was jnet that al] parties should be required to rest upon those limitation and statntes of pence, and that the pun- ishment of crime and the mode of enforcing it should be loft to the statutes in force at the time when the offences were committed, Mr. Rocere, . J, addressed the Honse against the bill. There were serious objec ie, he enid, to the pasrace of a law of this kind, not only on qner- tions of policy, but on qnestion® of law. It would bo within the meanin of the constitution an er pert facto law. It was agningt the genins of tha repubtic and Aga'nst the spirit of our institution, The time bad come when people should tarn their hearte from bloody. war to the contetnplation of paca, and when Cot should begin to legislate an weil for the benefit Of the South ar of the North. The people of the South Were being trodden down by Congressional tyranny, whieh he thought would be a reagonabla exense tor rebellion, He proterted azninst tyranny and dospotiem in every shape, and he warned the peopio of she United Stator that their liberties were about to be taken away by a set of crazy fanatics, who bad been gent hero, as they supposed, by the will of the people, for the purpose of trampling the constitution nnder foot and depriving the people of their rights and liberties. Ho was for amnesty and general pardon, ond there ‘were men in the republican party who were for the fame. Horace Greeley, the leading white of the black republican party, was for general emyperty and for cene- ral enffrace, and if he conld not get general suffrage, then he wat for general amnesty. Torace Greeley had olfered to go ball for Jefferson Davis and wauted him released from imprisonment. The conduct of Congress was worse thap that of the Long Parl ament of England. Tt was such ns disgraced and degraded the people of the country. (Laughter all over the House) So tong ax God Aimighty gave him breath he would raise bia voice against such despotic conduct. The whole gbirct of legisiation here appeared to be to punich the South. The first principle of charity or mugnanimity bad aot been exiended to the South exeept by a few. None of the Inte rebel States were represented in_ Congress except Tennessec, and that war a State which bad no republican form of government, bat was governed by adespotism. The people of the south were now in the same condition that made the American colonics rebel against the mother country, being compelled to submit to taxation without repre- sentation. Mr. Griexena, (rep.) of Towa, remarked that rour mil- lions atthe South had been compelled to enbmit not only to taxation but to slavery without representation. Mr. Keitry, (rep.) of Pa., wanted to know whether Mr. Rogers edmitted that the colored men of the South who had to pay taxes should be repreeented, Mr Reoxns thought that Mr, Kelley di¢ not ond stand his (Mr. Rogers’) premises. He bad not admitted that the free negroes of the country were citizens of the United Stater, It had been wettied in the early his- tory of the ry in the Dred Scott case (oneral lauebter) that negroe were pot citizens, and the pro- pered constitutioval amendment admitted virtually that they were not. Mr. KeLteY pressed the question whether ir was liberty or despotism that denied not onty representation but citizenship to tue people who were taxed. Mr. Rogers replied that if the gentleman's theory of be are ‘was correct, the framers of the itution were Mr. Kercay suggested that be bad not asked about the opinion of the founders of the ment, but about the opinion of the leader of the democratic party of this House, the honorable gentleman from New Jersey. (Laugliter.) Was be in favor of denying both the right of ntation and the right of citizenship to four mil- lions of American ple and their posterity * Mr. Roparrs declared his position to be opposition to inflicting on the South or on the North citizenship by virtue of any Congressional legislation or constitutional amendment, He was in favor of liberty, bat not in favor of negro suffra; Mr. Tuaven, (rep.! of Penn., inquired whether the gentleman (Mr, ‘) had not voted against the con- stitntional amendment abolishing slavery. Mr. Roparne admitted that on the simple ground that control over the institution of slavery had never been delegated to the federal government, but had been reserved to the states, and he held now that that constitutional amendment was utterly null end void in view of the reserved rights of the States. Mr. Witson, (rep.) of lowa, intimated that Mr. Rodgers had not voted against the constitutional ameadment abolishing slavery. Mr. Roporas repented that he had voted against it once, bat not the second time. He knew that flings had Deen thrown at him for not voting on the second sion when that constitutional amendment was voted on. He was sick in his bed at the time, and bi from his bed. Slavery bad died, not through that con- ati uieiees the result of war; bat war had not destroyed the It bad not destroyed their institutions, for it authorized a lot of men here claiming to be the representatives of the nation to abuse the powers of the constitution, trample it under foot, brewk down the old Union and destroy liberties of the peo- ple.
