class Of legislation which was utterly unknown TO
the constitution. He proclaimed the fourth section
OF the bill TO be without parallel IN the annals OF the
civilized world for 1t visited with dlsranchisement
all persons whO having held Office and taken oath TO
support the constitution, had rendered voluntary or
actment was crime against nature and revolt
against the eternal principles OF truth and Justice
Mr.. BINGHAM opposed the bill, and expressed ms
regret that 1t had been reported by the Reconstruc-
ton Committee The fourth section applied 10 every
State In the Union. II was too late In the day for
any man to deny that the states OF the Union had
sacred rights which could not be invaded. The man
who laid violent hands by legislation on the constl-
tuition OF his country ought TO be held pu0lc
enemy. Congress had no more right TO legslate on
the qualifications for State Ofices in the several
States than II had to leglsate on the qualncati0ns
for Office In England. He believed tnat Indiana was
just as much IN revolt against the requirements OF
the constitution, by the action OF her Legislature az
Georgia was.
Mr.: BUTLER remarked that he agreed with MIR.
Bingham on that point.
Mr.. BINGHAM moved the postponement Of the bill
till the first Monday Of December next, and de-
manded the previous question. The previous ques-
tlOn was not seconded.
The bill was laid aside temporarily and confer

1915, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we believe received an
excellent education in England where mis- father was
well known as the founder Of the Cunard line OF
steamships and where he also had many influential
relatives and connections. Nearly quarter OF
century ago the baronet came to the United States
for the purpose Of assuming the active management
OF the great business necessarily connected with his
line OF steamers. Here he ever after resided; and
although continuing subject OF Great Britain, no
native or adopted citizen felt warmer friendship for
the republic and greater interest In the welfare and
prosperity Of the nation Although the Cunard line
was well established when he became its manager,
1t was mainly due to his energy and business
sagacity that 1t has succeeded in retaining the con-
dence Of merchants and travellers In spite Of the
opposition lines which have from time to time been
started, some for the express purpose on breaking
it down. Aside OF the naturally large circle OF ac-
quaintances which was made through business con-
nections, Sir Edward Cunard possessed numerous
personal friends in this city and elsewhere who ad-
mred tae many sterling qualities wca aa3rnea % ms
