HOUSE.
TO THE DAILY PRESS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
The House resumed the consideration of
the Constitutional amendment, reported YES
terday with regard to the basis of representa-
tion S--''
Mr. Stevens moved the previous question,
put several gentlemen, having protested that
an amendment of this importance should not
mand.
Various gentlemen expressed their views as
to the effect of the Amendment
Messrs. Orth OF Indiana, and Sloan of Wis
consin briefly explained the amendments they
desired to offer, separating taxation from rep
resentation and giving the latter on suffrage.
Mr.. Brooks of New York made few re-
marks and caused to be read petition from
Susan 3. Anthony asking that the right of
suffrage be given to women. nrr noah
Mr.. Stevens asked Mr.. Brooks if he was in
favor of it.
Mr.. Brooks replied that he was if negroes
were permitted to vote, as he preferred his own
color and white women above negroes.
There was applause from the galleries, which
the speaker checked, saying, that he would
use the utmost means to preserve order; and
either appreciation or disapprobation were
alike censurable.
Resolutions were offered to the effect that
the Doctrine of State Rights strikes at the
foundations of all governments, and that by
efforts to secede they destroy all their rights,
and that government over the territory re-
verts to the United States, and all territory of
Texas under such rules ought to be set apart
for colored people.
They were referred to Reconstruction Com
mittee.
The Amendment was debated without ac-
ton. -e-. ~
