Proctor, of Dansville, were the first movers in this, the last effort to save Messner, and it 1s per- Daps not saying too much to concede that but Jor them the miserable man would now be in evernity. These gentlemen came here from neignboring coun- ues Wo argue causes at the General Terin of the Su- preme Court now sitting.

But no teie- gram had yet reached Angelica, and the Judge had Teured to rest Wholly ignorant that he was to be visited. He arose and received the party, who, feel- ing the linportance of time, at once laid the appiica- tion aad proofs before him.

Mr. BUTLER, Of Masa, from the Judiciary Commit- tee, reported @ bil for the repeal of the Civil Tenure of Office act, which was ordered printed and recom- mitted. THE FIFTEBNTH AMENDMENT, ‘The House proceeded to the consideration of bust- ness on the Speaker’s table and disposed thereo! as follows:, Message from the President, transmitting the report of the Secretary of State of the States that have ratified the fifteenth constitutional amendment. ‘ihe message and report were read. The report e4umerates the rollow- Ing States as those from which oiicial notices of such ratification had been received up to the vth of December:—Missourt qinctecttye), Kansas (defec- tive), North Curolina, West Virginia, Massachusetti, Wisconsin, Maine, Louisiana, Michigan, South Carolina, Pennsylvania,y Arkansas, Connecticut, Fiorida, Tlinois, Indiana, New York, New Hamp- shire, Nevada, Vermont and Virginia. The Secre- lary states that in the ratification by Missouri the second section of the amendment 1s omitted, and that in the ratification by Kansas the phraseology of the second section 18 changed. ‘The message and report were referred to the Judi- clary Committee. REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES. ‘The next business taken from the Speaker's table Was the Senate Dill, passed December 5, removing litical disabilities from Messrs. F. B. Hawkins, of North Carolina; Mowbray, of Tampa, Fla, and D, H, McCall, of Union Springs, Ala. Mr. BROOKS, (dem.) of . Y., said he had hoped the gentleman irom Massachuset's would bave redeemed the promise made last Congress to bring in # genéral bill removing all those disabilities. He had hoped to hear no more Oo! thia pendling in the amnesty of the government, bu that a general am- nesty law would be passed worthy of the charity and generosity of this great goverument, and that the statute book would be no longer encumbered with these pardons in detail, Mr. BUTLER was happy to inform the gentieman from New York that the consideration of a bill ta provide for the removal of the disabilities from those who had offended the country by tueir rebellion was now beforethe Committee on Reconstruction, and he doubted not that as soon as other and more pressing auues could ve attended toin that com- mittee, suck a bill would be reported; at least he knew tbat it would be considered by the committee. ‘This DIL was put forward pending, the necessary delay in the considerations Of such general biils, and to meet the exigencies of the case. Mr. Cox said. ne had objected the other day to this bill when the gentieman from Massacuuseitts intro- duced it, and substantially, in bis own mind, though he did not express it, for the same reason given by his colleague (Mr. Brooks). If looked like a sinail business to be peddiipg out the amnesty of the gov ernment in this sort of way. He believed that it ‘Was so recognized by all parues. It had been recog- nized atways in all free governments and in all ages when civil war was over amnesty should be given, and now, after five years since the conclusion of the late civil war, this government had stil these personal amnestiea, He gave notice to the gentleman trom Massachusetts that hereatter whenever a bill came in granting amnesties to personal indiviauals he shouid interpose his objection, He did not propose todo it on this occasion, for the reason that the men named in the blll had been appointed to the necessary federal offices, aud that it was necessary they should have their pardon in order that they might fill their functions. Mr. BUTLER sald that he could not agree with the gentieman from New York tn saying that this was a small business, There was “more joy in heaven over one sinner that repententh than over ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance,” Mr. Cox remarked that be understood trom that that the sinners pardoned by this bill belonged to the republican party. If they were democratic sin- ners they would not be included in this amnesty; but the democrats forgive them freely if the gentle- men on the otter side would forgive them. Gene- rally #peaking, these personal amuesties were given a3 the consideration for weachery, and they were given for the purpose of adding recruits to the radi- cal party, aud not ont of that abundant generosity of which the gentleman from Massachusetts was himselr so brilliant an example, (Laugiter.) Mr. MAYNARD, (rep.) Of Tenn., asked the gentle- man from New York if that was not a proper inotive for pardon—to bring recruits from tue rebel ranks into the ranks of loyaity¢ Mr. Cox reterrea to the fact that the other day Louis Napoleon, six weeks after the attempted revo- lution, and while men were aiter nis itfe, gave an amuesty to the whole realin and made himsel! strong by the act. Mr. BUTLER desired to say, once for all, that he did pot think that a great republic needed to take a leason from an emperor how to make itself stropg, The vill was passed. CONSIDERATION OF THE CENSUS BILL. The House then went into Cominittee of the Whole (Mr. Dawes in the chnir) and resumed the consideration of the Census bill. Amendments offered by Messrs. Jupp and CoruRN eee to.an earlier apportionment of representa- tives than that contemplated in tie bill Jed to a jong and animated discussion, Without disposing of the question thus raised the committee rose, aud the House at four o'clock ad- journed.
