The Republicans generally kept silent in the debate. They were now in a majority by the withdrawal of senators from the seceded States, and entitled to the chairmanship of the committees and a majority of members of each committee. It fell to Bright of Indiana, who nine years before had explained the exclusion of Chase, Hale, and Sumner by saying that they were outside of any healthy political organization, to move the new list on which the two parties had agreed.
