disabilities removed by acts of Congress
of July, 1865. Miller never labored un-
der any political disabilities imposed
by the third section of the Myth
Amendment, but it is admitted that he
acted as IL surgeon in the rebel army
and had given aid to persons in hostil-
ity to the United States, and; therefore,
could not take the oath required by the
act of July, 1862. Miller is not relieved
from taking the oath prescribed by act
of July, 1862, and i'll the opinion of the
Committee, is not entitled to u scat and
it follows from the conclusions of the
Committee as to the proceedings III the
election Of Hill and Miller, that neither
Farrow nor Whitby is entitled to a seat.
The Committee is of the opinion that
Hill was duly elected by a legislature
having authority to elect a Senator, and
is entitled to take his scat on taking the
oath required by the Constitution and
the laws. All the contestants MAIN
tanned the position before the Commit
tee that the ineligibility,or disqualifica-
ton Of individual members of either
House, not sufficiently numerous to
effect it's constitutional quorum, was ~,
immaterial issue. The majority of the
Committee agreeing to the report are
I'll:
and Carpenter. ,.... ...f
Senator Thurman agrees with them
that Hill is entitled to take his seal, ,and
holds that Miller is also entitled to take
his scat, on taking tho oath prescribed
by the Constitution. ....
Senators Stewart and Rice, of the mi
nority, say the main question is, Which
election should be held valid, that of
Hill and Miller, i'll 1868, or Farrow and
Whitby, in 1870: They hold that no
Congressional act has recognized as le-
gal the organization of the legislature in
1868. They recommend the adoption
of resolution declaring Farrow and
Whitby elected and entitled to seats.
