WASHINGTON, Jan. a. The Senate
took up the bill introduced by Sumner
on the first day of the session, supple

Of the United States in their civil rights,
and to furnish the means for their vindi- |
cation.
Ferry, of Connecticut moved to refer
the bill to the Judiciary Committee.
Sumner opposed reference, and said he
could see nothing in it but mode of op-
position by delay. The bill should have
been acted upon the first day of the ses.
sion. 1t was the darling desire of his
soul to have this great question closed
now so that never again in our legisla-
ture such words as white and black
should appear, but legislation should be
only for citizens.
Frelinghuysen, member OF thelcom-
mittce, thought he could assure Sumner
that il the bill was referred to the Judi
eiary Committee it would be reported
back within two weeks. On this as
surauce Sumner was willing to consent
to the reference.
