SENATE BILLS ON THIRD READING.

deaf, dumb, blind and inaane to and from
their respective institutions free Of charge.
Lost.
HOUSE BILLS ON THIRD READING.
An act to remove all disabilities for
holding Office or sitting on juries on acs
count Of race and color.
Mr.. Aldridge was opposed to the bill.
The negroes pay no poli-tax, and he was
not 10 favor Of taxing white people to sus.
tain the negroes in Office. II the question
was put before the loyal people, they would
vote it down, but if they viii pay POLL
tax like white people, then he would be in
favor of investing him with all the rights
and immunities Of citizenship. -.f..
Mr.. Mathews was surprised to hear the
argument Of Mr.. Aldridge. he did not
expect opposition from that quarter. The
reason that the colored man does not pay
pollrtsx is not his fault, but that of the
constitution. BE was In favor of the rights
Of manhood, and had always advocated the
rights of man. He was pledged to his
constituents to vote for this bill, and he In
tended to stand up to it. lfi .a.sh
Mr.. Wisiner introduced an amendment
declaring the repeal of the 10th section.
He said be was in favor Of calling things
by their right names. The spirit of the
bill il repeal of the 10th section. We
pledged our colored friends to repeal this
section, and there are many of us on this
floor who would never have gotten here
except on that promise. The vote was
then taken on the repeal Of the 18th Sec
ton, and failed by the following vote:
Ayes-Messrs. EckeI, Elliott, Lindsley.
Mccall, Smith, Underwood, Wisinre, aad
Mr.. Speaker Senter-9.
Noes-Messrs. Aldridge, Cate, Eaton,
Frierson, Fuson, Garner, Henderson, Lyle,
Mathews, Nelson, Mormon, Patterson, Par
ker, Rodgers, Wyatt, and Wiison-I7.
Mr.. Lyle offered bill in lieu, proposing
an amendment to the constitution, allow
ing all males the right 10 vote who are not
excluded by the constitutional amendment
by Congress for the Southern
States, and authorizing every man to benr
arms for self-defense, which was afterwards
Mr.. Mathews objected to the bill in toto,
and particularly the clause which proposes
10 arm Rebels ready for the fight.
Mr.. Wisiner spoke at length on the ues-
ton, urging the passage of the bill, and re-
viewed the whole question of franchise to
show that we had no right to keep our fell
low-citizens in bondage. We would feel
happier and more pleasant when we go
home after removing this blot from the
legislation of our State.
