So the House refused to lay the bill on the 

 to] !-. 



Mr. Scofield: "I ask the unanimous con- 

 sent of the House to allow this bill to be re- 

 ferred to the Committee on the Revision of 

 the Laws." 



The Speaker: "That there may be no mis- 

 understanding, the gentleman from Penn- 

 sylvania will state, in its modified form, the 

 request he makes of the House." 



Mr. Perce called for a division. 



The House divided ; and there were yeas 

 l-' ;1 . nays not counted. 



So, two-thirds having voted in the affirm- 

 ative, the rule* were suspended, and the bill 

 was referred to the Committee on Revision of 

 the Laws of the United States. 



On the same day, Mr. Acker, of Pennsylvania, 

 moved that the rules be suspended to introduce 

 and pass a bill to remove all political disabili- 

 ties, and to grant general amnesty. 



The bill, which was read, provides (two- 

 thirds of each House ci incurring) that from and 

 after its passage all disabilities imposed by the 

 third section of the fourteenth article of amend- 

 ments to the Con-titiition of the United States 

 should l>e removed, and that a general amnesty 

 should be granted to all persons for political 

 offenses incurred in the late war ; provided all 

 SMb person* shall support the Constitution of 

 the United States. 



The question upon suspending the rules and 

 pawing the bill was then taken, and resulted 

 as follows:

 sideration, have adopted and caused to be entered on

 ecjual terms, and with equal privilivis. ot 'all | .

 of servitude ; and that a copy of said records, duly 

 certified by the proper authorities of said corporation,
