governors for the Southern States in which lie en-
dOrSed tie President and advocated 4 generous
policy towards the South. lie looked upon negro
suffrage which he termed radical remedy for all
ills, Is remedy wOrc than the disease. lie said
the war was fought TO deny the right of secession
and Ia hold that the South out of the Union was
to acknowledge secession a. having been accom-
pshcd.
Mr. Wade gave the President full crcdt for what
he had done, and hon0red HIM for the manner of
doing it, hut he had failed to put the Keystone upon
the arch he had built and if left where it was ruin
would follow lie said to President johnson, to the
Democratic party and the people of the United
States that he would never yield the controversy un-
till all men in America stand upon an equal footing
equal in every respect before the law.
llousE.-Mr. DcIanO, from the Committee on
Claims, made report, asking to lie relieved from
the consideration of claims growing out of the lie.
Stmcton ar appropriation Of property by the army
