 from the Judiciary Committee, reported back 

 the joint resolution of the House relative to 

 Tennessee, with an amendment. These amend- 

 ments, with others, were fully discussed, and the 

 Senate finally modified the resolution, as fol- 

 lows: 



Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Represent- 

 atives of the United, States of America in Congress as- 

 sembled, That the State of Tennessee is hereby re- 

 stored to her former proper, practical relations to 

 the Union, and is again entitled to be represented by 

 Senators and Bepresentatives in Congress. 



The next amendment of the Senate was to 

 strike out the preamble of the House and insert 

 in lieu thereof the following : 



Whereas, in the year 1861, the government of the 

 State of Tennessee was seized upon and taken pos- 

 session of by persons in hostility to the United States, 

 and the inhabitants of said State in pursuance of an 

 act of Congress were declared to be in a state of in- 

 surrection against the United States ; and whereas 

 said State government can. only be restored to its 

 former political relations in the Union by the con- 

 sent of the law-making power of the United States ; 

 and whereas the people of said State did, on the 22d 

 day of February, 1865, by a large popular vote, adopt 

 and ratify a constitution of government whereby 

 slavery was abolished, and ordinances and laws of 

 secession and debts contracted under the same were 

 declared void ; and whereas a State government has 

 been organized under said constitution, which has 

 ratified the amendment to the Constitution of the 



United States abolishing slavery; also the amend- 

 ment proposed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and has 

 done other acts proclaiming and denoting loyalty :
