Not Itmar tgo, however, the Govern

secured.
2. Resolved, That the Government
of the United States and the govern

who owe It allegiance and whose
rights within ij&jurlsdlotioB It might

the United States is one of delegated
powers alone. Its authority Is de

All powers not granted to it by that
Instrument, nor prohibited by it to the

again applied to tbe General Govern
ment for a settlement of this claim,
and in her petition protested against
tbe loss of interest. The' petition was
presented in tbe Senate and referred
to the Committee on. Claims, of which
committee Mr. Iverson, of Georgia,
was chairman. Tbst committee'In in
vestigating this matter decided It was
not a private claim of South Carolina,
but that to meet the question fully a
general law must be passed covering I atantly employed from tbe opeotog ttU

goes to places along tha Mtosiswippl
river clear to tin month, and to all
points east sod west upen the coast of
tbe Gulf of Msaioo. In this trade sdvoa
steamboats and fifty baffles are cos*
all tbe pertinent cases. Mr. Iverson
presected such a bill, which passed
the Senate by a very large majority,
strange to say the moat active oppo
nent being Mr. Hunter, of Virginia,
wboee State was then advooa'ting her
claim of more than $1,000,000. Hecon-

8. Resolved, That the Constitution
of the United States has not conferred
tbs right of suffrage upon any one,
and the United Statss,hgrp no voters
of their own creation In tftelStatee,
bat the fifteenth amendment of tbe
Constitution has Invested citizens of
the Uuited States with a uew constitu

the elective franchise on account
of race, oolor or previous con
dition of servitude, and It to within
tbe jurisdiction of the Government of
tbe United States, which Cengress
may exert by appropriate legislation,
to prevent tbe denial or abridgement
by a State of the right of a citizen to
vote when such denial or abridgement
is on account of race or oolor or pre

When this bill went to the House It
was lost by a very close vote Some
of tbe advocates of tbe payment of
these honest debts actually voted
against the bill because of the then sca^t
Treasury of tbe General Governmeht.
