preamble and joint resolution
Whereas, on the Sd day of April, 1866, by
the authority and direction of the President of
the United States, agricultural college scrip
covering nearly 100000 acres was issued and
delivered to the State of North Carolina under
the act OF Congress of July S, 1862, providing
Tor agricultural colleges and whereas by the
same authority the General Land Office is now
preparing to issue scrip in like manner to the
States OF Virginia, Georgia and Mississippi;
and whereas: said action ofthe President takes
for granted that said States are restored to
their proper constitutional relations to the
Union, and are to be recognized in all respects
as entitled to the rights of the other States of
the Union which Congress alone can rightfully
determine: Therefore,
Resolred, &C., That the further issue and
delivery of such scrip, to any Of the yet un-
represented States lately in rebellion against
the United States, or the acceptance Of such
scrip, or any heretofore issued by the registers
or receivers of any Of the land Offices of said
States be and the same is hereby prohibited
until said States shall be fully restored to their
rights as States by Congress-
Mr. lie Blond, of Ohio, moved to refer the
preamble and resolution to the Committee on
