HARD PRESSED,

Senator Michel reports that Frost
one of III. Missouri elect ors, was inellig-
ible because he Joined the rebellion, hav-
ing teen an oticer of the army and ii
member of the Legislature of Missouri.
But the fourteenth amendment only
DISTINGUISHES such officers who Joined
the rebellion as had previously taken
the oath to support the Constitution OF
the United States. But when Frost en-
tered the army that oath was not re-
quired, and Frost did not take IT Nor
was he disfrant hised by reason OF having
taken the oath to support the Constltu-
tion of the United States as mem Der OF
the Missouri Legislature in 1855. The
disabilities upon all such persons were
removed by the general amnesty act OF
1872, which declared that "all political
disa bilities imposed by the third sectlon
of the fourteenth amendment OF the
Constitution of the United States, are
hereby removed from all persons whom
soever, except Senators and representa-
tiyes of the Thirty. sixih h and Tllrty-sev-
enth Congresses, officers IN the judicial
military, and naval service of the United
States, ncads OF depart ments, and tor-
aign ministers Of the United States
Members of Legislatures, it will be seen
are not included in the exception, Nor
would the exception include Frost in
the military, even if be had tax t1e
oath to support the Constitution, .fcr he
had resigned his commis ion in the ar
my N. ny years before the war, and the
exception in the general amnesty act Is
limited to persons who were actually
officers when they Joined the rebellion.
This is the accepted construction OF the
act.
Senator Mitchell also reports that Ben
jamin Williamson, one ot the New Jer-
sey electors, was ineligible by reason OF
his being at the time of election com-
missioner OF the United States; are al
though Judge Williamson held such an
Office and exercised its outies in one or
two instances twenty years ago, he had
long since vacated ii by accepting the
office ofI.Cnancellor of New Jersey, the
law, in terms, making that acceptance
itself a resignation OF all other office,
State and National,
The efforts of the Radicals to work up
case OF ineligibllity in the Democratic
vote out of such material to Offset Gro
nin,, shows how heavily Cronln weighs
upon their souls, Senator MltchelPs re-
port avows that it is only to offset Gro
min that his committee attacks Frost's
vote, thus admitting Cronin cannot be
got rid of otherwise.
