tate, were an encouragement to the rebellion; and it was thought that the time had come for our government, with a view to end such plots, to take the position by an authoritative declaration that under no circumstances would any foreign power be admitted to a part in the contest. Sumner, therefore, prepared elaborate resolutions for adoption by Congress. He carried them through his committee after some days of chaos and discord, with very slight amendment. Reported February 28, passed March 3. Works, vol. VII. pp. 307-312. Only five votes were given against them in the Senate, and those five from senators who had little or no sympathy with the government in its struggle. The resolutions, while approving foreign mediation on international questions, pronounced it unreasonable and inadmissible in domestic troubles, and declared that any proposition from a foreign power for the purpose of arresting the efforts of the national government to suppress the rebellion was in effect a

This Act took effect March 3; Sumner treated the exclusion of colored persons from the ordinary railway carriages as a corporate malfeasance, even at common law, and before the statute of March 3 took effect sought, Feb. 20, 1865, the repeal of the charter of a company wMarch 3 took effect sought, Feb. 20, 1865, the repeal of the charter of a company which enforced the exclusion.

He sought in the session of 1869-1870 the repeal of the charter of a medical society in Washington because of its exclusion of colored physicians as members. Dec. 9, 1860, Works, vol.
