REMARKS OF Mr.. HOWE.
Mr.. HOWE replied to the arguments Of hessrs. Doc
little and johnson against the resolution He thought
il time for the Senate 10 stop talking ~ the country
and together as to what was best TO be done or
the nation 1t was no time 10 build up parties to do
msrcenary work Ever since the Government CON.
mpnced there had been at the bottom Of society an
uns ssorted Of humanity which bad net bad far
chance "There are millions in the South" said Mr..
Howe who have been changed oy National decree cree
have been reduced from men almost TO the condition OF
chatels because OF their fidelity to the fsg and Con.
aitution OF the country These two classes seemed 70
hitherto received 1t wac for tenn be spoke. He had
thought 1t belonged 10 republican Institutions to carry
out and execute the doctrines Of the Declaration OF
Independence to make men equal. That they were not
EQUALS In social estimaton-tbat they equals In
emf oil culture physical stationshe knew very we
he had thought thst the weaker that they were the
more the Government bound 10 protect them.
Ho knew that great many OF these In whose behalf be
spoke were untducated; but be supposed II was within
the province Of the Republican party to give culture
and education to them. Replying TO the argument OF
Mr. johnson that the United States could not make
war az ainst State he said that while the people Of
Stste maintained obedience to the laws they were not
enable TO the war powers Of the Government but
when State arrayed itself against the Government
II smenable 10 those powers. He never held that
the States wer: destroyed by the wars they were de-
rated the people OF the Rebel States took down the
STATES permitted BY the Constitution and erected others

The war Is over he said, bat order is not restored
Bot the people were only as brave. and truo the
army order would soon come. God Almighty had
raised up for 200 600 men, without whoae aid peace
nUt yet have been restored and Il for TO
see that they weres not tsmped into the dust again.
Mr.. johnson, said Mr. Howe, had argued thar the
appointment Of District Judges in the South was
recognition Of the star Of the South He
did not think 1t was necessarily 90. He might have
voted for the confirmation Of these Judges but sct
Of Congress could terminate their Judicial existence
Replying to the speech OF Mr. Doolite Mr.. Howe said
he did not believe IL very courteous In Mr.. Dootle
10 refer 10 him constantly In connection vita Mr. Sum-
ner and reply 10 his (Howe speech by referring 70

Mr. Sumner had not ndorsed his (hr Heves) resols:
ton ret though he hoped he would do 90. He denied
that Mr.. Doolittle was authorized 70 say that his
Howes) resolution was opposed 70 the Lincoln ana
johnson plan Of reconstruction The first proposition
In the resolution was that the functions Of the States
lately IN rebellion had been suspended This he took
literally from the Message Of the President Tse second
was that the time had not come for their
an Steles The third proposition was that military
governments unsuted 70 the people OF The south
his 100 be bad taken from the Message OF the Pres
dent The fourth propodtion followed logically NON
tie rst three and asserted that Provisional Governors
70 be sppointen the South So that be was look
ing for godfather for his resolution he might wei
call upon the Presidents but ne vas not looking ior
godfather and unless the Congress OF the nited Sttee
adopted Il be wanted Ii 10 fan through. The hrst
yeafs Of the war Mr.. Howe said. were spent In an
effort 10 put down the Rebellion 20 40 not 70 leave any
