The SPEAKER. The Chair thinks the Gentfrom Ohio has connected it with the subject under discussion. This constitutional amendment proposes to give Congress “power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper to secure to the citizens of each State all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States, and to all persons in the several States equal protection in the rights of life, liberty, and property.” and ift e Chair is correctly informed by the remarks of the Gentfrom Ohio as to what this extract is, it relates to the Veto by the President of a bill passed by Congress in regard to the rights of certain persons, and if that is the case, it may be within the proviike of Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to secure those rights and the rights of others generall, and therefore, as a part of the remarks of the Gentfrom Ohio, this is certainly in order. The Clerk resumednd concluded the reading of the article, as follows: This is the greatestvictory they have achieved during the war greater than any of the feats of armsof Stonewall Jackson or of RobtELee; and it has given them more plensurpthap had General Lee beenelectedGovernor of Vllllnll. They have found an ally in the President worth more to them than the alliance of France or England, and they now begin to see. even asthey saw foreshadowedat Manama s.the final trinm h of the great southern cause. The Republicans have been ignominiously defeated and driven from the field routedborsc.foot and dragoons; and nothing can savethem from total annihilation.
