Joint Committee on Reconstruction. has been
the report OF joint resolution for the amend
mcnt Of the Constitution, In such manner
:" that whenever the elective franchise ahall
be denied or abridged in any State On account
Of race or color all persons of such race or
color shall I've excluded from the basis of
4, representation"

The commencement Of the discussion, and
while still prefcrTing an amendment in that

amendment, which they are shy of doing, It
