had no doubts whatever as TO the constitution
atty OF his measure. and he pronounced the
argumrut OF Mr.. Morrill, as repetition Of the
old anti-bellum democratic arguments.
Mr. Morrill, resented the imputatlOn that he
had uSed anti-beIIum democratic arguments,
and pronounced the course OF Mr.. Sumner in
this matter ~ being exceptional from the begin
ming. He had endesvored to intlmidate certain
Senators by the pressure OF opinion from their
section: he had Informed them that there was q
rover in the land. the cOlOred vote, and had
attempted TO hold up the lash over those Sen
During Nr. MOrrill's remarks he stated that
the judiciary Committee had unanimously re-
ported that the civil rights bill was net warrant
al by the constitution
Mr. Carp inter-. a member of the judiciary
Committee, said this bill had never been before
the Judiciary Committee. When the committee
vas differently constituted, bill similar in tt
tie, and perhaps in phraseOlogy, was adversely
reported upOn, but believed not altogether on
constitutional grounds.
Nr E.1mundS said the hill had haon ta6
against chiefly with the view that no more legis-
latiOn on the subject was necessary; that the
original civil rights bill was sufficient. There
were some constitutional objections to it, how
ever, which he believed had been modified in
this bill. Experience mad since shown that the
civil rights bill of 1856 was not sufficient to Sc
cure that equality of rights for which the con-
StitutiOn provided.
Mr.. Thurman did not think it was proper to
state the action of the Judiciary Committee in
the Senate; but a. it had been done, he would
say that, one member of that committee, he
had voted against this bill because of his belief
that il was unconstitutional.
MIR. Morrill, then briefly concluded his re-
marks, and the Senate then, at I:l0 p. m, adj
iOuTned.
HOUSE.-After our report closed, there was
long debate on the report of the Committee OF
WAYS and Means in relation to the negotiation
OF the new loan by the Secretary of the Urea
sury, participated in by Messrs. Kerr of Ind,
Wood of y. ", Beck of Nv, Brooks of y. Y,
Dawes of Mass, Cox Of y. Y, and Roberts of
Y. after which
Mr.. Kerr, of Ind, asked permission to offer
and have printed a SUI bstitute for the resolution,
resolving that in the opinion of the House the
Secretary of the Treasury in negotiating the
loan authorized by the act OF July IL, 1870, has
increased the bonded debt more than was proper,
and incurred expenses contrary to law.
MIR. Maynard, of Tenn, who was upon the
door, refused TO yield for the purpose, and gave
way TO a motion TO adjourn, which was carried,
and the House, at 40 p m, adjourned.
