LINCOLN MONUMENT.
Nr. Welch submitted the following report
Mr.. Speaker: Your Standing Committee
on Federal Relations, to whom was referred
THE Lincoln Monument Memorial" have
had the same under consideration, and di.
rected their chairman to report the same
back to the House with the following recon.
mendations and suggestions.
This seems to be an appeal from a body
known as the Lincoln Monument Assoc
eiation," asking for State and individual aid
towards the erection OF a monument to the
memory Of our lamented President, Abra-
ham Lincoln the savior of the Country.
This appeal is for an object that will at
once commend itself to every loyal heart in
| the nation.
The name of Abraham Lincoln will grow
brighter and brighter as time rolls on, and
millions vet unborn will praise and venerate
the name of the man who saved the nation
life when assalled by domestic ana foreign
foes. and freed four millions Of human beings
from the degrading condition Of slaves and
| cnattels, and caused them to stand erect and
| free in all the attributes OF manhood. That
one act alone Of Abraham Lincoln is enough
to enshrine his memory IN the breast ofevery
freeman and of every lover Of human liberty
the world over. Such a man is deserving of
| a National Monument, and the grateful
thanks of 4 redeemed and regeEerated nation.
The State of Nevada was admitted into the
| Sisterhood of States at time when our
Country was convulsed with war, and curing
its progress, Nevada stood true and unfaiteI
ing III her devo ion and loya atty to the FEEDER
al Government.
And now as tribute to the memory OF
that good and great man who died martyr
to our Country-Nevada cheerfully heads the
lists OF States in aiding the construction Of
the proposed monument.
In furtherance of this end, your Committee
would rec 1mmend the appropriation BY the
Legislature OF the sum OF $500, and would
suggest 10 the members of the Legislature
the propriety Of donating as much az they
NAV feel disposed, towards this Iaudable and
patriotic undertaking.

CIVIL RIGHTS.
Mr. Welch, from the Committee on Fed |
eral Relations. made the following report:
Your Standing Committee on Federal Re- |
lationS, 20 whom was referred Assembly bill |
No. 26. entitled, an Act to repeal all Acts OF
parts of Acts, far they conflict with an |
Act OF Congress, entitled, an Act to protec, |
all persons in the United States in their civil |
rights and furnish them means of their vim
dication," passed April 9, 1866, have had the
same under consideration, and directed their |
chairman TO report The same back to the |
House and recommend its passage. Your
Committee would further state that in their |
opinion. the passage Of this bill is emnentiv
just and proper. inasmuch as no State should
nave on its statutes law which contravenes
or nullities law of Congress. The idea of
preventing person from enjoying the bene-
fits of the civil rights of the country in which
he may reside, Is repugnant TO all our own
ideas Of free government, OF justice and hu-
manity. Especially 40 is such exceptional
discrimination repugnant to the American
idea of liberty and justice, which seeks rath-
Or to build mp, to elevate and ameliorate the
condition of mankind, than to pull down,
and degrade any of our fellow beings. III
any constitutional government where the
least semblance Of liberty has found a home,
there the lowliest of its citizens should be
protected, and his rights indicated equally
with the rich and powerful Of the land by
so doing. disafection will be bated conspl-
raciPs and treason will be things of the past,
and the Republic grow strong in the aztec
ions Of n united, happy and contented peo- .
pie, I cunsummation which can De brought
about only by melting out equa, and exact a
Justice to all-favoTitism TO Lone.
