In the Senate to-day Mr.. Johnston, argyll
ing on the enforcement of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments, said that the
natural effect of proscriptive legislation in
ailenatlng the people of State from the
General Government was to foster State
pride and local independence of national
authority. He referred to the generally en-
terta1ned though erroneous opinion in the
South prior to the war, that allegiance If
citizens was due to the State Government
Which protected him, and that the people
thus looked upon the United States Govern
ment as merely something necessary for
carrying on foreign relations and like func-
lions: In England, for instance, this di-
Vlded allegiance never existed hence the
criminal intent pertaining to the term
"rebel" in that and other countries did not
properly adhere to the southern people.
