THURSDAY, FEBRUARY s, 1874.

rose to say, that when some days since he pre-
scented, as was his duty, the resolutions Of the
Massachusetts Legislature in favor of amending
the Constitution, lie moved to lay them on the
table, and that they be printed, the latter motion
r was rejected. Yesterday, when the Senator from
Georgia presented counter resolutions from his
State, he moved for their printing. which was
ordered, and he chr. b. voted for it. II was
too late, perhaps, for him to move reconsdera-
ton of this vote, even If be wished to do So
which he did not 1t was not his intention to
have alluded again to the Massachusetts resolu-
tions, nor would lie have done SO, but for this in
cident. Now, however, he brought this discrimi-
mating action formally to the notice of the Senate,
that they might, if SO disposed render equal justice
to his State .lss s$
