Mr. CHANLER. My object in offering the amendment to the amendment is to place myself right upon the record, after having endeavored in vain to induce the gentlemen on the other side to officer the colored troops with colored men. There is nothing so utterly inconsistent in legislation as the e ort of Gentlemen on the other side to induce a class of our fellow citizens to do the fighting and then not give them the same rewar they claim for their own laborers in the field. There has never been an greater incentive offered to a soldier than that of rising gradually from the humblest to the highest rank and when Gentlemen who have served in the field, after having reiterated upon this floor time and again how great are their obligations to the soldiers, bring in here propositions to exclude the black man from an cance of becoming an officer in the Army, deem it fit and proor at this time to bring in an amendment where by the whole or ulzation shall be repealed.

The slander is false and unjust. such conduct as that is political heresy and against your own doctrine. I say that the Republican party is to da guilty of political heresy in not officer ing the black troops with black officers. I know that it has been ruled out of order to use such language here, but I also knew that in the face of the tacts you dare not deny that what I say is true.
