such persons rs shall hereafter hold Office un-
der the Rebel Government, but also Of all who
havp accepted office under said Government
since the date Of the pretended ordinance of
secession, who new hold office under it, or
who have t:krn til" oath Of allegiance TO it.
AN amendment coniiscaiing the slaves of reb-
els was defeated. receiving OILY 30 votes;
hut motion subsequently carried to recon.
slider the vote ly which this amendment was
lost, nnd on thu 4tl of june the bill with this
amendment WIS referred bnck to the Select
Committee. At last datrs-Junc 7th-,he
Commit rr hid not reported when they do
report it is to he hoped they will favor the
amendment. The common sense Of loyal peO-
Pile will BE- enabled to comprehend why the
tight of rrlrs = "p,.riy in negroes should not
share the same fate MS their other property
rights. The Exception. il finsistedupon, would
lc an outrageous absuri,y. to say the least.
