Mr. Howard preferred the resolution az it came from
The iiotse We owe IT, he said to the loyal people OF
tic North 10 exclude the Representatives from the late
Rebeols States until the report oil the COMMITTEE was
received Tie states IN question were, su9Jugate9
uroyiuces whose inhabitants not loyal today and
only submitted 20 tho Union authorities because they
we're unable any longer to resist. lie objected TO the

House OF Congress might admit Senators or Represen
tatiyes without the consent Of the other lie did nQt
believe either House should readmt tho Representa-
tiyos of constituencies still disloyal and unwilling TO
cooperate with loyal people.

ferrod 10 joint committee subject which inc Iohsti
tnion conilcd TO each House for Itself the Judgment
of the qualification OF members. Another reason Tor

posed the Senate 10 have but six members and the
House nine, giving TO the House majority OF three
voes He denied the right Of the two Houses to act
concnrreny this subject; each House must act for
itself and exclusively IN determining tho qualihca'
lions Of its members II would be sacrifice OF sell
