And why V Uecuuso their continuance is only n mutter nt irritation iimong thupioiib nd is not nouired bv tho public safety. Thesu disubililles to bold office were ongi- iiully imposed not us a punishment ot thu individual, but as a measure of public safely. Thu colored people ot the Soulli nro now voters ; they have become ac c ust.itued to the exercises of the elective franchise and are in a position to know huw tu vole und protect their righs; whereas at the titnu these disabilities were itn p. .sell it was apprehended tht In tho new organization of stutu governments, il no such disabilities wus imposed, tlio lead ing men in those slite who had carried tlttiir. into ret cl.ion and who had managed public utlairs mid have it in their jxiwer looppuss lliu lew Union men among them and the colored men bcfoie thny had be come accustomed lo exercise their r gills and insert their Independence, ilclicu a provl-lon was udopltd excluding the leaders in lite tebilliuii from office till the sialu government should bu reorganized und thu newlv enfranchised population should come lu understand their rights. As u consequence of their disfranchise ment, It litiu happened, and 1 regret it, that inexperienced und sometimes corrupt mm Indiana, who hits stigmttiized these reso- ' d'shonesl persons in those stutes have neen ClUVIIlCM !'

Had publlu nflaits in the late rebel states been controlled to 11 larger exteci by men ol political experience In '.hose communi ties, it would probnb'.y have been better for litem. I urn sure the tlmo hus now count whon the people of all the stutes should be icrmttled to elect and thu fedeml government loajipuint whom they lileato ii. ulllee. Tito removal of political dis abilities puts no man into office. It merely authorizes the peoplo to express their own cholco in the election of whom they will Wins ran wo not nais an amnesty bill In this body 7 Thu senator fn.m lndiuna will tell you, perhaps, ho is for umnekty.

The limohuscomo when the pcaco of tho countrv requites it. Tno tlmo has come when, laying 11, 1 le all malice and hate, wo should cultivate kind ly feelings and endeavor to govern tbe country in tho interests of peaco. I as sume, tnen, thatuiunesty is nttunti-repub-lican. To refuse it, und strive to keep alive the hatreds of the war by tho con stant exhibition of its horrors, is lo my mind not only unpatriotic, but positively wicked. Tho next resolution declares "That no form of luxation is just or wlso which puts needless burdons upon tho people." Thut is another " nnti-rcpubllcan and essentially democratic" principle, is ii? Then tho reveisenf It is a republican principle, and that form of laxaiion Is Just which puts needless burdens on the o pie. Is thai thu opinion of thu senator from lndiuna? Hu say that tho reso u- tion is essentially tiiiti-republieun. Of course hn mean it. Thu Senator s spei 1 h will have great Influence 1 11 tlio country. lt will bo circulated uu over uie lanu, huu his constituents una mine (tor lliey ull read what th" senator suys) wl.l leud the declaration thai theso resolutions are es sentially, not in single instances, but "essentially anti-republican ' and "cs-tn-tlally democratic. ' ,.I am sure llio litlelli gem. republicans of tlm land will i.sk to lie delivered from such sort of lejiublicaii ism as desires lo put needless burdens on the people. Tho next resolntion relates to the civil service, nnd c'ejlares: "'I hat the shumcleis nbuse of the gov ernment patronage for tb? contiol of con ventions and elections, whether in the interest ol individual or of a purty, with consequent corrurtion und demoraliza tion of political lile, demands the thorough and genulno rerorttfof the public ser vice1. That also I believe to be a republican principle. 1 know the senator Irom Indi ana has commended our present civil-service reform us tho ocsi in the world ; but I know it has been disclosed recently that ,ir. .n:i, f the government aro msns ed for purty purposes.
