WASHINGTON, March l3-House-In committee of
the whole. The bill appropriating 100000 to the
Southern destitute was considered Wcrd opposed
the measure; the South only wanted civil rights and
Northern capital to develop their resources. Williams
thought congressional bounty would be better applied
to the widows and orphans made so by rebels; if any
are to suffer let them be the dsoyal and let God Al
mighty populate that country with people loyal to the
flag. Chandler denounced the measure as intended
to bolster the freedmen's bureau; wolf in
sleeps clothing. Boyer hoped the bill would pass
the reedmens bureau was the best means Of distrbu
ting necessities If the bill failed, he didn't wish to
hear anything of ireland sympathy. He declared
an analogy between the Southern and Irish people
complete.

ment offered, providing that at elections for dele
gates vote of the people whether they desired
yention should be taken The amendment gave rise
to debate the chief argument in its favor being
that such vote, if favoring convention would make
it constitutional. 1t was opposed principally on,
count Of opening the door to delay and rregularty in
restoring the States to representation Debates show
the majority consider early restoration vital to fnan
cal interests and matter important for technical
trling Mr.. johnson doubted the long existence of
the Government with ten States Morton was op-
