CONGRESSIONAL.
ruIRT CONGRESS

SENATE.

FRIDAY, May 81, 1884.
Mr.. Wade called up the joint resolution to
amend the charter OF the city OF Washington In
regard to registration OF voters, the pending
question being on Mr.. Summers amendment,
providing that no person shall be excluded
from the register on account or color.
Mr.. Sumner urged the necessity OF his amend
ment, saying that the effect OF this bill would
be to sanction the barbaritles OF the slave
hunter and the inhumanities heretofore prAc-
ticed upon colored people, insisting upon treat
ing them as Interiors. He could not sanction
this injustice or deny the rights which he be-
lieved to belong to an oppressed race. He was
sorry TO differ from his friends, but, in the
words OF the Lieutenant General, he proposed
to fight 1t out on this line, II It tsok all sum
meT.
Mr.. Morrill, said II was known that the Com
mittee on the District Of Columbia had hereto
fore reported bill which put the colored man
on an equality with the white man, and tue
Senator should have every assurance that wo
intend to put that bill before the Senate At the
earliest momentj but, as the Senator knows,
from practical experience, come things can be
and some things can't be. and this Is one OF
the things that Is not practicable at this time
Mr.. Harlan moved to amend Mr.. Summers
amendment by adding thereto the words,
"who have borne arms In the military or
naval service of the United States, and have
been honorably discharged therefrom;" which
was agreed to-yeas 20, nays IL.
| Mr.. Wiley moved further to amend by add.
ing provided, however, that no such resident
who is entitled TO vote elsewhere shall be enti-
tied or allowed to vote under or by virtue OF
this resolution"
| Mr.. Grimes suggested that the words 4" "enti-
titled to VOTE" in Mr.. Willey's bill, were too
indefinite, and asked who was to decide upon
the question:
Mr.. Wiley said other words could be substi-
tuted.
The morning hour was about expiring, and
Mr.. ConnesS urged that vote be taken on the
bill, as 10 get rid Of III but without action 1t
went over.
The consideration OF the Internal revenue
| bill was then resumed.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
On motion OF Mr., Alley, the House took up
and passed the Senate bill, modifying the pres.
ent law, so that officers OF the Government may
receive letters and documents without the pre-
payment Of postage.
The House proceeded to the consideration oi
private bills.
