MIR. Doolittle 'fWhy put this provision in the
constitutional amendment. Mr.. Fessenden, who
mas ieit the Senate, may answer that himself"
mr' Doohttle's amendment was rejected, The |
second section passed with some verbal alter q
ations.
In the debate upon the third section. Mr., Hen
bricks proposed an amendment 80 as to make if :
apply to those whose term Of Office had mot ex-
pired at the commencement or during the war, I
contending that the oath was binding only during !
that time.
Mr.. Guthrie opposed the third section because
of. the prescription. He supported Mr. Hendricks's
amendment because it was less proscriptive.
Mr.. Sherman inquired if Mr. Hendrickss amend
ment would have the effect of excluding those who
resigned to take position under Gen. Lee. Mr..
Hendricks replied 'no resignation was not an |
expiation of the crime"
Mr.. Sherman said he believed, under the pro- |
posed alteration, those who resigned and entered
the rebel service would be relieved from the pro-
visions Of the section.
The amendment was disagreed to by yeas 8,
nays "a.
Mr.. johnson moved to amend to strike out the
words or members of State legislatures, execu-
tive or judicial offcers,n which was rejected by
yeas 10, nays 32.
Another amendment was proposed by Mr.. John
SON. so as to make the section apply to those who
had sworn to support the Constitution within ten
years previous to January, 1861, which was dis
agreed to.
In reply to an inquiry, Mr.. Howard said the last
clause Of the section made it discretionary with
Congress to disability generally or in indi
vidual cases.
Mr.. Salisbury moved an amendment providing
that the removal Of such disability should be with
in the scope Of the Presidents exercise of the
pardoning power, which was disagreed to by yeas
10 nays 80.
Mr.. Doottle oontended that the section was I'M
justly discrimnative and intended for punishment,
saying that while treason ought to be made odious
at the same time only the principal leaders ought
to be punished. Mr.. Doolittle responded, pas the
Senator from Nevada said five or six ought to
be satisfied with that anount.n (Laughter.)
f Mr.. TrumbulI replied to Doolittle, and said he
thought the rebels got off easy with merely exclu-
sion from Office, and maintained that such exelu-
sion was no punishment.
The Senate adjourned.
