After many conferences between
Virginia and its individual mem
bers with the Judiciary Committee
Of the Senate and members of the
Senate and House, it seems pretty
well understood the following def
mite arrangement has been substan-
TALLY agreed to. Following the
precedent of the Missouri compro-
mise at the proceedings upon the
admission Of Oregon, Kansas and
Nebraska, n bill will be proposed
authorizing the admission of Vir-
ginia upon the adoption of tho pro-
posed constitution, with certain OBJ
noXious clauses with regard to dis
tranchisement, and probably other
Objectionable features will be strick-
en- out when this bill is passed. 1t
is believed that il will be followed
by an amnesty bill, either univer-
sal or with very few exceptions, to
take effect upon the ratification of
the constitution. 1t is understood
that this adjustment meets the APP
probation of Grant, Gen. Schofcld
and a large number Of the most
prominent members of both Houses.
Gillem concluded his testimony.
lie attributed the defeat of the con-
stitution to its prescription features.
The white people nearly all oppos-
ed it and many negroes whose gen.
erosity was appealed TO voted
against it. Gillem thinks if the
was resubmitted with
the understanding that the pro-
scriptions be governed by recon
struction laws it would be adopted
by a majority.
