BRANDS FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENT INVALID
Senator Money Asserts It Was
Illegally Adopted.
Warttngtmi, April 1.—Wfclle there
Is little probability of the adoption by
congress of Senator Money's joint res
olutlon directing the supreme court
of the Unitud States to investigate
the validity of the method of adopt
lug the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution the measure is attracting
considerable attention and it is un
derstood that Mr. Money will make it
the subje of a speech In the senate.
The resolution is intended to coun
teract in the public opinion the bills
which from time to time are intro
duced for the purpose of limiting the
congressional representation from the
South because of the curtailment there
of the franchise privileges of the ne
groes. It is claimed that congress
has the right to make such curtail
ment under the provision in question
and Mr. Money's proposition is in
tended to show that the amendment
itself came into existence by unconsti
tutional methods.
In his preamble he asserts that the
journals of the senate and the house
of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth con
gresses show there was neither a two
thirds vote of the two houses for adop
tlon nor a three-fourths vote of the
states in ratification of the congres
sicnal action as required by the Con
stltutlon. This defect, If such It proves
to be, was of course due to the fact
that the Southern states were not, on
account of the War of the Rebellion
at that time acting as a part of the
Union.
