Mr. DOOLITTLE. Nor did I ever object to it; and if you will introduce a resolution tomorrow declaring Tennessee entitled to representation I shall not object to it; but at the same time I do not surrender the power of this body to judge whether Senators iall comein, whether the other House agree to it or not. That is the point with me. Whether we allow the HoRep to say we shall have Senators in this body from Tennessee or not is a mere matter of courtesy toward the House, not a question of power. I do not admit their power to control us on the liestion of the admission of members. We iave the right to admit them if we choose to do it, whether the House oin or not; but if a JtResolution is broug t forward now I am perfectly free to vote for it. I never stand upon more forms. It is only when the doctrine is avowed and urged that this body has not the power and the jurisdiction over the question and when it is sought to gag this body and bind it hand and foot so that it cannot act upon the question until it shall receive the assent of a majority of the House, which may be controlled by some outside party caucus arrangement under the lead of the member from Pennsylvania, that I irotest. I am not willin that the Senate of the U.S. should surrender that jurisdiction which the Constitution has vested in it absolutely without appeal and alone in the Senate. That is the point I make. Mr. President, I have not referred to what the honorable Senfrom Nevada brought forward and made so prominent in his speech today, to wit, my action upon the Freedmens Bureau bill or the civil rights bill. I have purposely refrained from that for the reason that when those resolutions, to which I have alread referred, of the legislature of Wisconsin shal be taken up, and be permitted to s cak for myselfnnd of my own action upon that subject, I intend to cover the whole subject at once and not trespass more than once upon the attention of the Senate, and therefore I have put these 2 questions aside for today. I conclude, sir, by saying, as I said in conclusion yesterday, that the amendment now pending before the Senate is meant for and intended for nothing else than to declare awant of confidence in the Administration, to attack the Administration in that particular thing in which never in the whole history of the government has Congress ever sought or attempted to attack on Administration before. I object to the amendment, also, for the other reasons which have been stated, and they have been stated by others so clearly that I shall not occupy the time of the Senate in pursuing them further. I have risen simply to repl to one or 2 of the charges made today by the Senfrom Nevada, namely, that the administration had been derelict in not bring in traitors to trial, that the Administration had been derelict in the pardoning power; and to reply, also, to a charge which he made against me, though I do not think that he intended to charge me with it in an offensive sense, that I was an advocate of the doctrine.of state rights. I have explained on this occasion to some extent the views which I entertain on that subject.
