IL HIS speech in the Senate, on last
Friday, on the joint resolution provid-
ing against the admission Of the South
ern representatives, Mr.. Garrett Davis
made the following point: 1.-The Pres
ident Is required by the Constitution TO
send messages to Congress, and he has
the power to decide what body is Con-
gress. The members here, who are in
favor of admitting the Southern Sena-
tors, could meet with them, and con-
stituting a majority, the President, if
he see proper, could recognize them as
the Senate, and hold official relations
with them, and he Mr.. Davis advised
him to do it." A little further on he
added: whenever Andrew Johnson
chooses to say to the Senators Of the
South, in the exercise of his noble Con-
stitntional right, you get together and
form a Senate with the Democrats and
Conservatives, and | will recognize you,
what will become of this body?"
