| to debate the subject for a short time the
speeches being limited each to fifteen minutes.
Nr. Stevens closed the debate, saying that the
amendment was not such as he desired as thew
did not recognize the right of the black man to
vote. He, however, trusted that something on
this subject might be done by future legislation.
He took occasion to stigmatize the Presi-
dent as an usurper in undertaking to
establish civil governments in the seced-
ing States. Upon his demand for the previous
question, the House concurred in the Senate's
amendment to the constitutional amendment by
vote of l20 to 50. The Speaker, therefore, an
nounoed the joint resolutions as having passed.
Several gentlemen announced the reasons for
the absence of their colleagues, who they said if
present, would have voted for tie proposition.
Mr. Edrldge as take-oh upon these gentlemen,
said that if Messrs. Brooks and VOORHEES, had not
been unseated, they would have voted against the
proposition. (Laughter.)

doubt if Jefferson Davis were member of the
House, he, too, would have voted against the
amendment, Gaughter.)

shade, including Smith, of Kentucky; Raymond,
N. Y; Whiting and Steers, and Lathrop, of West
yirginia-the negative being composed wholly of
decided Democrats

now be submitted to the legislatures of the re-
spectiye States for their action.
Mr.. Stevens proposed a substitute for the nend,
ing BILL reported from the reconstruction com.
mittee, to enable the States lately in rebellion to
regain their privileges in the Union. The material
point in substitute is the admission Of Tennessee

impartially to every class, besides ratifying the
constitutional amendment to which reference is
made above. ..- .... =
