General AmnesaYs

In the Federal House of Representa-
tives, on the 9Th inst, the following took
place: ''.1
Mr.. Maynard of Tennessee, from the
committee on Rules, reported a bill re-
moving all disabilities imposed and re-
malnlpg on any person by the third Sec
ton OF the fourteenth article of the
amendment to the constitution, and sub
stituted for the iron-clad oath the modi-
fed oath now administered to persons
from whom disabilities have been re-
moved. .. ..4.T@
Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, asked whether,
under that law, Jefferson Davis might
not obtain a seat in the upper house.
Mr.. 6. F. HOar inquired whether the
Committee on Rules had a right to re-
port such an act of general legislation.
The Speaker doubted very much
whether that committee had q right to
report it, except under a call.
Mr.. H0ar said he would not insist on
the point.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, said that
he would.
Mr.. Maynard moved to suspend the
rules, and to receive and pass the bill.
IN reply to Mr.. Lawrence's question, he
SAID that the late President of the South
SIn COnIeuefacy might as we'll as thC
Vice President, have a seat in either
house, provided the people should think
proper to send him.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, said that
he would not object to the bill if it had
been examined by and was reported
from a committee 49,.
Mr.. Maynard said that it was the
unanimous report of the committee.
The bill was then passed by @ vote OF
141 yeas to 29nays.

The Seating of Louisiana Com
grGSSHmeR1.

The following additional proceedings
Of Congress on Tuesday last, when
Messrs. Sypher and Sheldon were
seated, have been received:
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, called
up his resolution offered yesterday, de-
cIaring that Sypher, Sheldon and Pinch
back, of Louisiana, have prima facie
rights to seats in the House, and that
they be admitted to take the oath, of
Office.
Mr.. Beck suggested as a substitute, by
referring the whole matter to the Com
mittee Of Elections.
During which discussion the Presi,
dents message was received, and Clerk
Mcpherson, at fifteen minutes past one.
began to read it, concluding at forty
minutes past two in the afternoon. It
was referred to a committee Of the whole
and ordered to be printed.
The House then resumed the cOnsid-
Grafton of the resolution as to the
Louisiana members. After a long de-
bate, the question was taken separately.

agreed to yeas 1853 to 95 nays. It was

The Roll Of Congress and the
Louisiana Question.

r &E
This il from the Delhi Chroniele, a
Democratic papers
According TO the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, the roll of the Senate stands, %
Republicans to 10 Democrats, and OF
the House, Republicans, 1W Demo-
Gratis, 81; Liberals, 4, and contested
seats, 10; which gives the Republicans
FIVE than q two thirds majority
in the Senate; while in the House they
only lack four of having the tWO-tlirds
majority, which they will be sure to gel
out of the ten contested seats. Hence
the Republicans have the full control
of both the Senate and House on al
questions brought to a party vote,
Therefore, we see no hope Tor the
McEnery government to obtain any re-
lief from Congress-
Although this question should not be
made a political one, but each claimant
for the government of the State should
stand upon its own merits and the de-
cision be rendered according to the will
of a majority Of people, it is sure tC
he made one ne think; and IL it is, why

Hon. George L. Smith.

This gentleman, recently elected by an
overwhelming majority to represent the
people Of the fourth Congressional dis
trict of Louisiana in Congress, in place
of Samuel Peters, deceased, has been
admitted to his seat. The question came
up through a notice Of Mr.. S. S. Cox, a
Democratic member from New York,
who offered a resolution to admit E. G.
Davidson, the opponent of Mr.. Peters in
the election of 1879. After some Skin
mishing on the part of Democratic and
Republican members, Mr.. Butler, OF
Massachusetts, sent to the clerks desk a
certificate from Governor Kellogg, which
was read, dated the twenty-ninth OF
November, 1873, stating that at a spe-
cial~ election held in the fourth congress
sional district on the twenty-f0urth of
November, George l.. Smith had receiv-
ed q majority of the votes cast, and was
duly elected to represent that district III
Congress. Mr.. Morey, of Louisiana
then moved to amend the resolution OF
Mr.. Cox byinserting the name of George
L. Smith in The place of Davidson. The
motion finally prevailed, by a vote OF
1874 yeas to 81 nays, and Mr.. Smith was
| sworn in. This is good news for the
citizens of the fourth congressional dis
trict, who will have a faithful anG
| efficient representative in Mr.. Smith
