The powerful speech of Judge She llabar-
ger of Ohio, delivered in the House late on
Saturday evening, on the sulj"ct ol
National citizenship, and the manner OF its
forfeitur, and the power and right OF the
National Government 10 control its re-
sumption after forfeiture, has challenged as
profound attention among leading thinking
members as any speech yet delivered 10
Congress He assumes tba. citizenship,
under the Constitution, is Of National, and
not State, origin. BY mastetly exposition
of authorities, Of State, national and in
ternational character, with The uniform
practice of civilized nation, he shows that
by participation in the Rebellion the Reb-
els have lost ALI right to. participate in
the Government, and he further claims and
shows by presidents that Congress, or the
legislative power, can absolutely prohibit
their resumption of the right Of franchise,
except upon such terms as Congress may
determine, and that the Safes have no
authority over the matter.
