district land office referred to the committee on public lands HOUSE washington WASHINGTO N IA f aa ba the result of the vote of the amnesty bill being announced blaine took the floor and by a motion to reconsider reconsiders obtained the right to a speech he said that the only object on his side of the house was not to be obstructed they hoped not to delay legislation by any of those means with which the last house was so famil familiar I 1 ar they had no desire to filibuster although the civil rights bill which was designed to give the rights of manhood to colored men had been ready to be reported from a committee filibustering cut off the change chance a to report it for 17 consecutive monday mornings and one foo roo the chief parliamentary garies gl rles ries of his friend from pa claries andall andali was that through the extreme use of that power he had prevented re vented the consideration of that bill they designed no such pro cess they simply desired to have a vote on whether jefferson davis should be included in this general amnesty if his hia friend from mass banks whom he saw standing with that winsome smile to which lie blaine biarne BI II aine alne was always glad giad to respond would excuse him he would suggest that his blaines amendment was better bettor than the gent lemans in another respect the gent gentle lemans mauls banks banks amendment allowed the oath to be taken in any state court of record in a probate court for instance I 1 ns tance a republican member or a police court count he thought that a governa government e ni dealing with some of its erring citizens who were coming back to be re clothed rehabilitated with the full rights and glories of american citi elti he t thought t t that at suc sue such an I 1 important pr ut transaction should be e cognizable sizable only in the B S courts he e believed there was no other difference between the two amendments kasson ah yes the latter proposition requires an oath of obedience to all laws made in pursuance of the constitution hoar 80 so that if a man violates any law he becomes guilty of perjury ury ay M I 1 blaine then my friend banks amendment is har harder deron on them than mine milne I 1 was generous to them under the gent lemans banks amendments if a man refuses to put a two cent stamp on his check he violates his oath P nanka banka we intend to obey all nil bylaws by laws I 1 I 1 I 1 blaine yes but at the same time there should be no pitfalls in legislation for the unwary to fall into banks There are no unwarily unwary on our side i blaine what is the gentle mans side banks it is s the tile si bide side de of the constitution ution of the U B S and of the laws law made in pursuance ther thereof dod dof I 1 do not see that there is an any y difference between men of this country who are under practical political disabilities and aliens who come here and ask to be admitted to citizenship iz and who are allowed to take the oath in a state court 11 blaine I 1 endeavored this morning to have a letter read and 11 1 I will read it now with that fascinating cina ting eloquence which my friend from massachusetts banks possesses he called our attention to the great statue in this centennial year of having no man in the land under the slightest political dis disabilities abill and why ironically except pon por poor davis davie I 1 will now read the letter totter it is addressed to myself and is dated raleigh NC 12 january 76 1 blaine read a letter from wm sli dil 2 olden Holden ex governor of N 0 saying that he had been impeached and removed from office as governor of that state on account of his movement against the ku IW klux that thia this was done ly by the democrats of that state the allies and echoes of the n northern democrats that he had been disqualified by the judgment of removal from holding i office in that state that the democratic legislature at its late constitutional tut ional convention had been ap pied pled to in vain by his friends to remove such disabilities that tbt the late convention in which the democrats demo crata had one majority by fraud had refused by a strict party vote td to remove his disabilities and that today to day he was the only man in N 0 who could not hold office and that he thought these facts should be borne in mind when the democrats in congress claim said relief for the late insurgent leaders when he reached the name and read it the there was an outburst of contempt on tho the democratic side and several of the N C members vances robbins and others tried to got get the floor to reply to holdens boldens Hol dens letter but blaine blacoe refused to yield and said sald what have Yo you got to say to that purely a political impeachment in peach ment ashe he is not the only person in the land deprived of office blaine it is purely political not a prosecution but a persecution the persecution of a union man today to day itis it is within tile design of the democratic party of mississippi to remove governor ames from his chair by impeachment and to disqualify him these two friends of the union one a union man in N 0 and the other as gallant a union
