by 80 ayes to 80 noes. !
bill has passed both houses for submit |
ting to the people of the next general cleo
ton, the question of amending the consti-
tuition by giving members salary of $780,
per annum instead piper diem.
In the Assembly on Saturday morning
Mr.. Osborn introduced needed resolutions
instructing the Senator'S and representa- yes
in Congress to vote for the civil rights bill
notwithstanding the Presidents Veto. The
opposition fought the resolutions and call
of the house was ordered, which could not
be suspended for the want OF sufficient
number of votes until 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon when the votes were got and reso-
lutions adopted under the previous question
by so ayes to s noes Mr.. Newell from
your county was present and did good SER
vice in voting for these resolutions. These
resolutions came up in the Senate last
evening, and contrary to general expecta-
ton were quietly concurred in, the opposi-
ton making no fight on them, by Is ayes
to noes Senator Sholes and perhaps
other Republican Senators were prepared to
make speeches OH these resolutions but as
there was no disposition on the part of Dem
ocratic members to discuss, the vote was
quietly taken as stated. Senator Sholes
had prepared a thorough and searching re-
view of Senator Doolittles course in Con-
gress which, although not delivered as he
intended on the floor of the Senate, will GER
tainly be published, as it should be.
The action of the Legislature in adopting
these resolutions is very timely, and does
required credit to the Union party besides
perhaps more effectually aiding the cause
of right and justice, by making Senator
Doolittle toe the mark when he COMES to
vote ON the bill over the veto,
Another good action that has suppose
by this time, rejoiced the hearts of Union
men throughout the country is the decision
0 of the Supreme Court stating that the vote
of 1949 has given coored citizens the right
