WHEREAS, Outrages have been
committed upon the people Of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky which

nations; and
WHEREAS, Some Of those intrus-

many being hung or shot without
the pretenses oftrial, military, civil,

We,have'been permitted, by a
friend who has lately received a
privateletter from the distinguished
Confederate General, LoNeSTREET,
to make the following extract from
it. Its tone, coming from such
source, ought to convince even the
most skeptical Of the disposition Of
the South to accept, frankly and
honestly, heIresults Of the war !;
and it should shame those who,
from party heat, refuse to allow
that section of the country to re-
sumo its old relations with the
Union. General LoNGsTREGT says I:
81 see that some of the public
men of the North are still inclined
to doubt our loyalty at the South,
and to hold us in our present condiI
ton for further guarantees. What
can We do to- satisfy them? We
are willing and anxious to do any
thing that is wanted of us, provided
we are allowed to get on some
constitutional platform. | do not
suppose that there are a thousand
men in the Sonth who think differ
emily from myself on this subject ;
and have some doubts whether
there are as many as that who
would leave the Union to-day, if
they we're offered the choice to go

Mr.. Trumbell called up the bill for the
protection of all persons in their civil rights,
Offering an amendment to insert the follow
ing words after the enacting clause: That
all persons of African descent born in the
United States are hereby declared to be cit
liens" He then addressed tire Senate in
favor of the bill.
Mr. Yates, of Illinois. introduced the fol-
lowing. which was referred to the Joint
Committee on Reconstruction ..- .
Therefore he il enacted That no State or
territory of the United States shall by any
constitutional law whatever heretofore in
force or hereafter to be adopted, make or en-
force or in any maner recognize any distinc-
ton between citizens of the Uuited States,
or of any States or Territory. on account OF
race or color or condition.. and that here
after all citizens, without distinction Ofrace
or color or condition, shall be protected in
full and equal enjoyment and exercise of all
their civil and political rights. including
the right of suffrage.
Mr.. Trumbell offered the following am
endment, to be inserted Immediately after
eXaeting clause. in the first section: That all
persons of African descent born In the Uni
ted States are hereby declared citizens of
the United States. ..,.5 -l..- .-.
Mr.. Trumbell proceeded to address the
Senate OH the above, which, he said. was
necessary to the enforcement of the Consti-
tutional amendment, and called for by the
second clause ofthat amendment.
Mr.. Van Winkle asked Mr.. Trumbell If
persons of Afrieen descent were not now
citizens, under what authority could Con-
gress make them citizens?
Kill Il fIz
under constitutional authority to establish
uniform laws of naturalization. ... .. =.
Mr. SaulsluIy Locked upcn this ILL as
more dangerous to civil liberty then any one
ever introduced in the Senate. He denied
the power under the constitutional amend
ment to pass such law The second clause
of that amendment never intended such an
invasion of the rights of citizens and of the
States. If the amendment, instead of abol-
ishing slavery. had abolished all distinction
on account of color, then such bill might be
justified. -.- -,I.....
Mr.. Howard asked Mr.. Salisbury whether
the intention and meaning of the constitu-
tional amendment was not to render him
who was formerly slave free man?
Mr.. Salisbury replied that the amend
ment did nothing to the slave but to oremove
the burden of servitude from him. He be-
lieved ifthe bill was passed it would be con-
strued to grant the right of suffrage to the
negroes in the States. and such might not
be the intentions of the friends lofthe bill,
but such would be the result of the passage.
Ifthe President signed this bill, and the
bill for the enlargement of power of the
Freedmen's Bureau, he would sign two acts
more dangerous fort liberty ofhis c0un-
trymen, and more disastrous to the citizens
of the country, then the acts that have.been
passed from the foundation Of the Govern
ment to this time.

Let Him Put His Objection Into q

A few days ago, a Republican
delegation of Congressman waited
on the President, and had a talk
with him about the Negro Suffrage
bill for the District of Columbia.
Through a special to Republican
journal, the President is reported
to have urged many objections TO
it. Let the President put those
objections into veto when the bill
shall come before him for his ap-
proval and the great heart of the
country will palpitate with ecstatic
,ioy.--Ohi0 Statesman.
