out the words "late rebellious Slater, and apply
tho law equally to all the States and Territories
and to the District Of Columbia
Tho amendment was subsequently, withdrawn, as
there was no prospect Of carrying It.
Mr. Le Blond, Of Ohio opposed the whole amend.
ment as being violation Of the rights Of the States
and the amendment was but another eSidence Of
the hostile feeling Of the majority Of this House
toward the people Of the South. But in view Of
the recent action Of the States Of Ohio and New
York n condemning the legislation Of Congress, he
thought these States should be mentioned In the
bill. He would therefore suggest, as q part Of his
remarks, . resolution directing the Committee on
Reconstruction to take the Of Ohio In hand By
reason Of Its having refused by vote Of 20 to So
to strike the word "white" from the State consti.
ton, and thereby repudiating the acts Of this Con-
gress, and that the Committee on Reconstruction
report bill providing for q military government
for the State Of Ohio until that State shall adopt
constitution republican In form, and exclude the
Representative of the so-called State Of Ohio
from seats In Congress until tho State shall have
been duly admitted.
Mr.. Le Blond said he had no hope that such q
resolution would pass, and members on his side Of
the Chamber could not be expected 10 vote for the
propositions but he submitted that In order to
be consistent gentlemen on the other side should
vote for the resolution. II was as germans to the
subject under consideration rs the smendmOnt Of
the Senate was.

enee committee on the disagreeing votes Of the two
Houses on the bankrupt law, made report. The

| from all It's amendments and agree to the Senate
amendments, except tho twenty sixth, which pro.
yides that for year after the passage Of the act
no bankrupt should be released upon the surrender
Of his property without the consent Of q majority
Of his creditors; and the Senate receded from that
