hostility 10 any further removal Of political disabilities
Mr.. Cobb OF North Carolina alluded to the fact that
there three classes I'm the Republican party the
subject of political disabilities and urged that such
MIR Sheldon OF Louisiana spoke in favor OF general
amnesty aud declared that he would vote for any pro-
position which granted IL. The reason why the Repub
recently succeeded in carrying the election In that
State was that they had previously declared themselves
in favor Of removing all political disabilities and the
people by vote almost unanimous, struck from tue
State Constitution the provisions which imposed them on
Mr. Butler Of Tennessee declared that the feeling and
spirit of the South did Lot justify general amnesty
Rebel party mistake, and In the end would prove
