Of this type in the Senate were Sumner, Wilson, Trumbull, Wade, and Preston King; and in the House, Thaddeus Stevens, John Hickman, G. A.

Seward and Fessenden did not vote. In presenting, February 18, petitions opposed to compromise, Sumner added comments of his own in approval.

The presence most missed was that of Douglas, who died June 3. The session of July 9 was set apart for eulogies on Douglas, in which Trumbull and Collamer took part. Sumner, though inclined to pay tributes to deceased associates, remained silent. The committee on foreign relations consisted of Sumne27. Failing to change the terms of the bill, he voted against the admission. A number of Republican senators, including Trumbull and Wilson, voted with him. Curiously enough, he often encountered in his antislavery efforts the sharpest criticism or debate, but was lost on a later vote. Among the senators voting with him were Anthony, Fessenden, Foot, Grimes, King, Trumbull, Wade, and Wilmot. Among those voting against the amendment were Hale and Wilson.

, March 27, of the Civil Rights bill, and July 16, of the second Freedmen's Bureau bill—the last two vetoes being overcome by a two-thirds vote of both houses. Trumbull showed consummate ability in the drafting, management, and advocacy of these measures. As they were well handled in debate—not only by Trumbull, but by Howard, Trumbull, but by Howard, Morrill of Maine, Fessenden, and Wilson—Sumner, although he had prepared himself on the Civil Rights bill, did not speak; but he watched the measure closely and with deep interest, approving it altogether, and recognizing it as a precedent for his own bill for equal political rights in the reconstructed States. Feb. 7, 1866; Coh a plurality as a sufficient vote to elect, and also the right of a senator to vote on his own title. March 23 and 26. Works, vol. x. pp. 377-390, 391-405.

They at once proceeded to their business, and remained in session the greater part of the afternoon, during which they revised the House bill, and added conditions on which the rebel States should be admitted to representation. Sumner made an earnest effort for equal suffrage, but it found no favor with his associates, only one supporting him; Howard probably. and he gave notice that he should appeal to the caucus. At 5 P.

came into the possession of Ben Perley Poore, and was sold in 1888 at an auction in Boston to a New York dealer in autographs. The Senate began its session, March 5, for the trial of the impeachment, Chief-Justice Chase presiding; and the vote was taken May 11, resulting in an acquittal,--thirty-five declaring the President guilty, and eighteen declaring him not guilty, which was not the two-thirds required. Among the nays were six Republicans, including Fessenden, Grimes, Henderson, and Trumbull. The change of a single vote would have effected the President's deposition from office. As often occurs in such contests, the personal element had a part in the result. Some of the senators had been in controversies with Wade, president of the Senate, who would have succeeded an impeached President; and his style and temperament were more or less publicly referred to as objections to his becoming Mr. Johnson's successor. The chief-justice bore himself with dignity and impartiality, but

The correspondent of the New York Times, February 11, wrote of the controversy: With all his faults there is hardly a better-natured man in the Senate than Mt untimely; an amendment, however, admitting, aliens of African nativity or descent was carried, and became a part of the Act as passed. The differences between Trumbull and Sumner on fundamental conditions did not prevent their hearty co-operation on this question. A few days later. Sumner, when a bill to prohibit contracts fo
