joint resolution that the joint committee

SO I8nocuous that congress may nnt IN

nized in the constitution OF the United
States, and however little some may re-
gard property of rebels as worthy OF con-
sideration. l cannot see that an act OF
force depriving any man OF constitutional
property was that dire process OF law
mentioned in our constitution.
Our national public buildings should he
decorated with those things which appeal
10 the general and universal sense OF
patriotism. Leaving ont OF consideration
the Confederate war, I DO not know that
there Is any event ia our history since

railway across the continent, the Atlantic
cable. the electric light and the telephone
were events of transcendant Importance.
