Mr. WILSON, of Iowa. The language of the statute gives it better than any construction I can give: “The time durimr which such person shall so be beyond the reachoflegril processs iall not be deemed or taken as any part of the time limited bylaw for the commencement of such action.” The point, I believe, to which the gentleman seeks to direct my attention is this: whether this statute will prevent the operation of the statutes of limitation of the States in relation to actions commenced in the State courts. I am not prepared to say that it will go that far, nor was the committee prepared to say that we could provide by law that the statute of limitation in a State could be suspended in its Operation upon actions brought in the State courts by congressional action. The remedy which seemed to be sought by the memorialists was this: that citizens residing, for instance, in the State of NewYork, having claims against persons residin in the State of SCarolina might have their remedy in the courts of the U.S. without being barred by the statute of limitation in force during the existence of the rebellion. In other words, they wantthe statute of limitations suspended during the period of the rebellion. We think the law now does this. We did not specially consider the Question as to the power of congress to suspend the stat utes of limitation of the particular States and prevent their operation upon actipns brought in the State courts as distinished from the courts of the U.S. old within those States. I think, however, and in this the committee concur, that where the action was brought in a U.S. court, this statute is broa enough to save the remedy, and reaches as far as we may safely go. I have merely called the attention of the House to this not for the purpose of calling the attention of the country to the existence of the statute which I have read and which seems not to have been very generally noticed. I have nothing further to add; and I now move that the committceg be discharged from the further consideration of the memorial, and that it be laid upon the table. The motion was agreed to.
