denim the author therefor. Anything
the Senator from Massachusetts,
might charge. had nc terFgrs for him.
If that Senator had been permitted TO
have his way. the clause Of the Con-
stituti0B that says all Persons born
within the limits OF the United States
arc free, would not have been incor
porated IN that instrument That
Senator being opposed 10 the Fif-
teenth Amer dment when the time
came to vote upon it arrived, left his
place IN the Senate and would not
vote for it.
He said that regardless OF the an.
reasonable propositions aud impraed-
cable measures of that Senator, free
dom had been secured His uncon-
stitutional measures would never
have accomplished that object, yet
that Senator presumed to be now, the
exclusive friend of the coloTed man,
but the colored man would long since
have prayed deliverance from such
friendship had that Senator's counsels
prevailed.
Sumner, in the course Of his reply,
referred to the speech alleged to have
been made by Governor Walker after
the election in Virginia, containing
the statement that a horde of greedy
cormorants aud unprincipled carpet
baggers who had infested that State
had been driven out. He said. this
allusi0n to Northern men who had
settled in Virginia for her good was
characteristic of the representative of
that party which had gained brief
control in that State by fraud and
violence.
Yates addressed the Senate upon
the general subject of reconstruction.
asserting that the plighted faith Of
| Congress was not to the rebel States
for their admission, but to the people
of the loyal States, that the condi-
tlons already imposed upon the rebels
shall be carried out to a fulfilment.
Salisbury said that in view of the
many professions Of friendship for the
negro made during the discussion, he
rose merely to say that however un-
popular the utteTance. he was a friend
Of the white man.
Wiley submitted an amendment as
substitute Of q portion of Edmund s
amendment that requires the taking
OF an Oath UJ Ant 1Sgl5i@ttlIS U5IUTG
this act could take effect, providing
simply for the imposition Of the oath,
preparatory to member taking his
seat.
Edmunds explained that the oath
prescribed in bis amendment was not
applicable to the Legislature as a
body, but to be imposed upon each
individual member; therefore, no de-
lay need be oeeasioned in the admis
sion of the State, if each one could
take the oath. If a quorum could
not take it, then the State ought no;
to be admitted.
Ramsey moved an executive ses-
sion, which was agreed to-29 to 27

THE ST. LOUIS AND KEoKUK RAIL ROAD
The all-absorbing topic now is the st
Louis and Keokuk railroad. You are
doubtless aware that there is considerable
contention and q great difference of inter-
ost in tho county in regard to the loca-
ton. Ex-senator Henderson, at the late
term OF the County Court, made speech
in behalf Of the river route aud Louisiana,
and presented petition signed BY mum.
Der OF the citizens Of Buffalo township,
requesting to be allowed to make an sp
preparation BY private subscription Of
100000 to the Company on condition
that Louisiana be made o point. The
votR will be put to the oitisens of that
township on the 22d instant. The cit.
liens Of Bowling Green, true to their own
interests, OF course favor the ridge route,
and indeed the advantages which nature
herself has given that route are far supe.

tral. Were the road built on that rout il.
would undoubtedly DO Of g, eater utility
and value to the county and the citizens
generally.
Mr.. Mckenzie left here yesterday (the
l7th) on his way back to St. Louis, hav.
lag been to Rails county to confer with the
County Court on railroad affairs. He re.
ports the prospect favorable Gays that
the bonds Of Rails county have been issued,
and that the agent Of shat county has
gone to st. Louis with thenp. He is con.
ident that the work on the road will be
commenced in March. This is cheering
news to the frieHds Of the road here, who
now look forward to its commencement
and methinks l can even now hear the
shrill noise Of the locomotive as il whistles
"down brakes" at Troy, to let off freight,
take on passengers, &C., and then steams
on It's course. But will aot anticipate
