| My deliberate conviction is that the reasOI
why many Of rs DO net come back 10 th,
next OOIigress, is because we had not passed
this bill year ago; because we were a do
nothing party, afraid Of our shadows; be
cause we were aptly described by the ange

rights TO all before the law, on every stump

because Civil Rights was not an &C

can party will finish its great work, if it
will bring, by bayOnets OF otherwise,
peace, prosperity, quiet; Otder and law into
the South, and put down raiders there, as
the people Of the South ought to do them
selves, then you will ind We shall come
back bere.
The House then proceeded to vote on
the bill and amendments. The first vote
was on Kellogg's amendment TO strike out
of House bill all in reference to schools,
and it was agreed to by a large majority,
bit without the yeas and nays. The next

tute the Senate bill for the House bill, and
it was rejected-yeas 11S, nays 14S. The
next vote was on inserting, IS preamble
te the bill, portion of the Democratic

by Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan.

add as an amendment to the preamble the

lows
Local self-goEernment, with impartial
