states-namely Georgia. North Caro-.

at first rejected the amendment. mti.
fed il after being reconstructed under
the acts of March and July, 1867
Only three of the so-called rebel states
now reported as voting for the amend
mcnt after their reconstruction by Con.
gress are reported as having voted
against IL; whereas il had been rejected
by ten of these states up to April lst
1867. Counting. then. the twenty. five
states that had voted for the amend.
ment, and adding the five states that
had voted both ways as given in this
statement. and considering them nil 10
be affirmative. we have as the result
thirty ratifyine states when Secretary
Seward published his final certificate
This. being more than tbree.,ourtbs of
all the states was sufficient 10 adont
the amendment aaccording TO the nro-
visions of the constitution if the "pro.
ceedings" or measures procuring tho
result were constitutionaIly valid.
