In the debate which followed the presenta-
ton of the report Mr.. Mullins desired to
know whether any of these men have petition
ed for themselves or are they here by the pc.
tition Of others?
Mr.. Farnsworth Every one of them has
petitioned for himself
Mr.. Mullins. One further question. Are
they all now in Office or all desiring Officer
Laughter,
Mr.. Farnsworth | have no doubt they all
desire office, for that is desire that is very
prevalent at this time. But that they are all
in office | very much doubt think very few
of them hold Office.
Mr.. Mullins. Only one more question. |
see Shenandoah county in the list Mosby
figured largely in that region. Is he brought
in here? Laughter.
Mr.. Farnsworth No, sir; his name is not
in. We will be very happy to consider bill
for his relief when my friend shall offer it.
Mr.. Mullins. Well, sir, Gabriel will snap
bis resurrection gun before [ offer it, Laugh
ter
Mr.. Beck. | merely desire to say on behalf
Of the minority OF the committee that there
is not man recommended here who is not as
thoroughly Republican as any gentleman on
this floor.
A Member. Mr.. Mullins included?
Mr.. Beck. Yes, sir; that gentleman includ-
ed. Laughter. The reason the minority
were willing this list should be reported now
was because we were assured that another bill
would be reported, in which large number of
persons of both political parties would be recon-
mended for the removal of disabilities.
Mr. Jones, of Kentucky. [ would like to
ask the gentleman from Illinois if it s absolute
ly necessary for q man to petition Congress on
his own behalf in order TO get bis case consider
ed by thec0mmittee2
Mr.. Faresworth. No sir; DO not under
stand it is absolutely necessary he should do so
himself, We regard it, however. as better
evidence of mans loyalty and disposition to
accept the situation il he comes and asks Tor
relief than if he stands upon his dignity
Mr. Jones, Of Kentucky. understood 1t
was necessary he should petition on his own
behalf.
Mr.. Farnsworth We have no rule.
Mr. Jones, OF Kentucky. There is one other
question would like to ask. If Col. Mosby
was TO petition the Congress of the United
States for removal Of his disabilities, con-
Tossing his FAULT and protesting himself loyal
citizen, would not gentlemen of the Republican
party in this House be in favor OF a removal OF
his disabilities.
Mr.. Mullens | would have to see the blood
run from his knees all the way from here to
Mecca in penitent confession before | would DC
it. Laughter.
Mr.. Farnsworth moved the previous question
on the passage Of the bill. So.
The question was put; and on division
there were-ayes, 81, noes 80.
So 1.-TWO thirds voting in favor thereof the
bill was passed.
The Virginia Committee are still battling Tor
their proposition, but their progress has been
greatly impeded by the renewed and extraordl,
nary exertions being made by the Richmond
Radicals, who are here in force, and are bring
ing all the influence they can, to bear upon
Congress in opposition to any conclIatory
measures. Gov Wells was again before the
Reconstruction Committee this morning, OPP
posing the new movement The committee
are now less confident of success than day or
two since, and from appearances, and rumored
