- IL Al Al.
Mr.. Guthrie said there was reason why Ken
lucky should be included in the bill. Kentucky
did notwant the relief proposed. The freedmen
were part of her population and wsbld be cared
for as such. He believed the States themselves
could take care of the freedmen much better than
the Freedmen's Bureau. The bill before the Sem
ate was providing for "lazaroni" throughout the
Southern States, and Kentucky wanted no such
within her borders. The bill could not be intended
as matter of economy; if economy was the OBJ

the immediate admission of the Southern
States. lie did not understand what the
gentlemen meant when they said the war was not
over. There had been no forces in the field for
nine months and. in May last, the President is
sued an amnesty proclamation looking to peace
and union. This had been looked on as too lenent
to the South but he was sorry the President had
not gone further. As it was there were 5000 ex-
ceptions to the proclamation, and among these all
the misfortunes of the war would be distributed.
The South lost one thousand million dollars worth
of property by the war, and he thought they de-
served it, as a consequence Of engaging in war.
but il was not punishment enough. There was no
reason in the world why Congress should send OFF,
GERS of the Freedmen's Bureau to regulate the re-
lation between the citizens and the freedmen of
Kentucky. He was sorry to see the spirit that
was manifested in Congress towards the Southern
people. for he believed these people were honest
and sincere in their professions OF willingness and
anxiety to return to the Union.
Mr.. Pomeroy was glad to hear from Mr.. Guth

laws relating to slavery.
Mr. Guthrie said that was his opinion and that
