Mr. DOOLITTLE. Notat all. Your amendment proposes to allow the States to say who shall vote. Upon that subject I propose to take the sense of the Senate in both forms, both on the question of “male electors" and “male citizens of the U.S." I wish certainly to accommodate myself to the judgment of the honorable Senfrom Iowa, for I desire to secure his support, if it is possible, though I have some doubts about that. Now, Mr. President, to come back to this table, the State of Maine had 100, 718 voters in 1860, and she has 5 Representatives on the basis of poulation. On the voting basis she would still c entitled to 5 Representatives; but upon the reconstruction basis as reported by the committee Maine would ain one representative and have 6. So no or this reconstruction amendment Maine gains one. How is it with NewHampshire? She had in 1860 65,023 voters, and she has 3 Representatives on the present basis. NewHampshire would also have 3 Representatives upon the basis of the reconstruction amendment as reported by the committee. So NewHampshire is not affected, whichever way the thing stands. it' it stands on the Constitution as it is, if it stands on the Constitution as the committee propose to amend it, or it'it stands on the constitution as it is proosed to be amended by the amendment which I have just olI'ered. We now come to Vermont. Vermont upon the present apportionment has 3 Representatives. In 1860 she cast 44, 644 votes. Vermont would have but 2 Representatives upon the voting basis, because the fraction would not be large enough to give her 3, but under this reconstruction amendment Ver mont would still retain 3 representatives. Next we come to Massachusetts. Inssachusetts upon the present a portionment has ten representatives. She had in 1860 169, 175 voters. Upon the voting basis Massachusetts would have 8 Representatives, so that my amendment would reduce her'representation by two; but upon the reconstruction amendment as offered by the committee Massachusetts would have 11, gaining one. Thus we see that Maine would gain one and Massachusetts would gain one, while Vermontund NewHampshire remain the same under the committee’s amendment. Connecticut has 4 Representatives upon the present apportionment. She had 70, 246 voters in 1860, so that she would have 4 Representatives upon the voting basis. Connecticutwould also have 4 Representatives under the proosition of the committee. So Connecticut is not affected; she‘stands indifferent so far as the number of her representation is concerned. RhdIsland has 2 Representatives under the present apportionment. In 1860 she had 10,051 voters, so that the votin basis would give her but one Representative, whereas under the reconstruction amendment as reported by the committee she would have two. Tiius it appears that upon the voting basis NewEngland would lose our Representatives, whereas under the 19 Representatives. reconstruction amendment as proposed by the committee she would gain 2 Representatives. How does it stand with NewYork? NewYork now has 31 Representatives. She had in 1860 675, 176 voters. Upon the voting basis NewYork would gain 3 and lfer representation would be 34. So upon the reconstruction basis as reported by the committee NewYork would also gain 3. NewJersey has 5 Representatives under the present ap portionment. Upon the voting basis, asNew ersey had 121, 125 votes in 1800, she would have 6, or a gain of one; and according to the reconstruction amendment as propose by the committee, NewJersey would gain one. How is it with Pennsylvania? Pennsylvania has now 20 tour Representatives. The number of her voters in 1860 was 476, 442. Upon the voting basis, Pennsylvania would have the some number, 24 Representatives, her fraction bein very large. upon the reconstruction amendment as reporte by the committee she would gain one.
