THE CONTRAST.

TIE CONTRAST.
Tho debate in the Senate upon the bill
10 enforce the Fifteenth Amendment grows
interesting. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, who
does not reside within !, 500 miles Of q
rebel State, proposes to add penalties foF
any violation Of the DISTINGUISHING clauses
of the Fourteenth Amendment. That
amendment excludes certain class Of per-
SONS from holding any Office under any
State Government unless relieved Of the
disability by o vote Of two thirds Of each
house of Congress. Mr.. Stewart proposes
to mike it penal offence. for such persons
to hold Office This proposition brought
up the whole subject OF amnesty, and the
further punishment Of e1-rebels, and it is
curious to note the difference of opinion
upon these measures among Republican
Senntors h1r. Stewart is still for vieor-
GUS prosecution OF the war. He demands
that men who have been admitted to suf-
frage under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, and who elect officers in the
rebel States, shall not themselves be eligi-
ble to any Office.
