of the whole by vote 10 to 95 and motion to re-
consider this vote was laid the table by II to &C.
1t cannot be doubted that this reference has been
made in spirit uariendly 10 the Bill or the Admin
istration, perhaps both, and that its effect will
be very seriously to delay its passage if finally
Jeopardze it. Such is evidently the view taken of it
by both the friends and enemies of the Bill although
It is taking too serious view of the matter to regard
1t as necessarily defeat of the Bill or even as in
dicatlng strong probability of that event.
/ The bill which came from the Senate is chiefly
weakened in its chances for passage through the
House by the two amendments of Messrs. Badger and
Clayton. That of Mr.. Badger, which. by declaring
that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise shall not
operate SO as TO revive any laws of the territory
listing prior TO 1920, in effect does interfere by Con-
gress with the territory, prevents the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise having its full effect, which
would be to leave things they were before its en-
actment, when the proposed new territory WAS part
of Louisiana in which slavery existed by the local
law, has alienated some Southern support. On the
other hand, the Clayton amendment which confines
the right of voting in the territory to citizens of the
United States, to be unpopular with the North.
We feel confident, however, that the bill will be
reached and acted upon this session. after much fuss
and turmoil. Many who voted for lis reference to
the Committee of the Whole will finally support ii.
