Why the Sherman Substitute was Defeated.
The following extracts from the speeches Of the
most violent Radical representatives, made on
Monday evening, will show why they defeated the
SHERMAN substitute for STEVENS bill in the House
recently. It was not Radical, revengeful enough,
and did not provide for the plnnder Of the South
ern people, NJ.
Mr.. Boutwell, said: My objection to this bill is
provides, if not in terms, by the measures which
it proposes, for the reconstruction of those gov
ernments at once, through the agency Of disloyal
to us if this bill passes, ought to restrain us from
any action in favor Of this measure although we
be compelled to let the 4th Of March pass without
Government. Under this bill there is
not one rebel in the South, from Jefferson Davis
himsels If he were released from Fortress Monroe,
to the humblest soldier who trained in the armies
Of the rebellion practiced the 1e arioue business
Of the guerrilla, deprived oithe right Of suffrage
It provides for universal amnesty and restoration
Mr. Stokes opposed the Senate amendment be-
cause he saw in It universal amnesty ana universal
guage If it did not enfranchse every rebel IN the
Southern States. He, for one, would never cast
his vote to place the Of those States Ia

recently with the Presidents pardon and an order
for the restoration OF the property, snd eject
ment has been brought in the State court and be:
yond all question the recovery will be had. Sir

Of property belonging to the United States, confs-
Gated not.as rebels property, but as enemies pro
perty, has been given back to enrich traitors. Om
whose farms have been robbed, whose cattle have
been taken from tSaor1, and whose houses have
been rlhed, are to go forth suffering and laborine
while Wade Hampton and his black horse cayalr,
