sons denied by the States the right of the cleo
tive franchise. The pending question was TO
sustain the demand for the previous question.
Mr.. Farnsworth, of Illinois, asked Mr.. Ste
yens what would be the effect OF this amend
ment if South Carolina chose TO disfranchise
some of her population by property qualln-
cation.
Mr. Stevens replied that would be case
where this amendment would operate.
MI Brooks, of New York, said there were
about one hundred thousand Coolies III the
Pacific States. He would ask what would be
their stHtuS under this amendment.
Mr.. Stevens stated that they would not be
included by the amendment, as California did

question: in order that they might consider the
amendment.
Mr.. Stevens declined to withdraw il.
Mr.. Baker, of Illinois, then said it was
entirely improper 10 rush an amendment SO

Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, said Ironically
that ten minutes We're too much time Tor

suggested that two minutes would be enough.
considerable confusion here ensued. Several
members said that they hoped the demand for
the previous question would not be sustained
The amendment should be open to debate)
Mr.. Stevens then said-I am so much aston
ished at the exhibition made on this side of the
House that / withdraw the demand for the
previous question. The amendment was then
open TO debate.
MI Kelley, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment TO the pending measure, which, in
