Mr. BOUTWELL. On the other hand, the proposition reported by the committee stands without any alteration whatsoever, except that the definite article •'the" before the word race" has been stricken out. Therefore the debate which took place yesterday was appropriate to these two propositions precisely as they stand. If we open the subject to day for debate, I do not know how, if the matter is to be left to me, I can regulate" it consistently with the business of the House or with the appeals that are made to me on both sides of the House. I suggest, therefore, that it is better that we should come to a vote upon these propositions, which are jprobably now understood.

Mr. SCHENCK. And the proposition now offered by my colleague [Mr. Shellabarger] on behalf of a number of members from Ohio, including myself, is the same as it was first offered. The interlineations and modifications made in the proposition yesterday by my colleague was upon the suggestion of a great number of persons. Upon consultation, however, we have concluded that the proposition had better be restored to its original form; and I wanted four or five minutes in which to express the reasons why I have advised that the modifications proposed yesterday be taken out as being unnecessary. I will confine myself to that simple question.

Mr. SCHENCK. Knowing how many of us are represented by my colleague [Mr. Shellabarger] in the substitute he has offered, I need not say I approve the form, that it shall he in the shape of an inhibition to the States. Yesterday, when the proposition was pending, many gentlemen, among them the gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr. Boutwell] and' his colleague, [Mr. Bdtlee,] objected that unless there was something saving to the States the power to regulate the exercise of the elective franchise this noted proposition would virtually repeal or be repugnant to the passage of any registry law. Now, I conceive there is nothing in that objection. At first it seemed to be plausible, and yielding to that plausibility my colleague, [Mr. Shellabarger,] with the consent of others, agreed to modify the proposition. He now withdraws the modification. I think it necessary to have the modification withdrawn, because if there be anything in the argument presented by the gentleman from Massachusetts, [Mr. Boutweli.,] that it interferes with the possibility of having registry laws, then upon the same argument we could have no registration laws now.

Look, for instance, at the constitution of Massachusetts. What does it provide? It provides in absolute terms that every male citizen who has attained the age of twenty one years, who has resided in the Commonwealth one year, and within the district six months, and who has paid certain taxes, shall be permitted to vote; and to this is added by the twentieth article of the amendments an educational requirement. Now, a man in Massachusetts goes to the polls and offers to vote. He shows that he is twenty one years of age; that he has always resided within the State; that he is a citizen; that he can read the Constitution in the English language and write his name, yet objection is made to the reception of his vote. Why? Because he has not registered. He points to the Constitution and says, "By the Constitution it is provided that every man having these qualifications, which 1 possess, shall have the right to vote." The reply is, "That Constitution implies the necessity of prescribing by law regulations under which the votes shall be cast." If this were not so, the registry law now in force in Massachusetts would beunconstitutional. But does any gentleman here pretend to say that it is so? A man possessing all the qualifications which by the express terms of the Constitution are requisite to make him an elector, presents himself at the polls, and is told, ''Stand back, because you are not registered." This goes to show that these provisions as to the qualifications of electors do not, in the slightest degree, inteifere with the power of the Legislature of the State to adopt proper regulations under which the votes shall be cast. Hence, any exception of the kind proposed here for the purpose of saving that right to the States is unnecessary. Besides, sir, the language of this amendment is still stronger, because it contains flm word u equal;" it provides for securing to citizens ao u equalright to vote.

Mr. Speaker, I only wish to say that the distinctions and differences of opinion which have been evolved by the debate in regard to the effect of the amendment proposed by the gentleman from Ohio afford to my mind conclusive evidence that if we submit the amendment in that form to the country we shall introduce in every State confusion, discord, and contention as to what the effect of the provision will be. But the amendment reported by the Judiciary Committee is directed against tho se distinctions which have been brought prominently before the country, and on which substantially public opinion, as entertained by the Republican party, has been expressed. We are safe if we stand upon the resolution reported by the committee; and, in my judgment, we are unsafe if we accept what we ourselves confessedly are unable to understand in such a way as to come to an agreement upon it. I now demand the previous question.

Mr. SHENCK. Mr. Speaker, does not the Constitution require the vote to be taken by yeas and nays?
Read from OCR scans of the printed page (p. 745). View the page image
The SPEAKER. It does not. The only imperative requirement of the yeas and nays under the Constitution is in regard to a veto, where a concurrent vote of two thirds of each House by yeas and nays is required. On all other questions requiring a two thirds vote, such as proposed amendments to the Constitution and relief from political disabilities, the Constitution does not command the vote to be taken by yeas and nays any more than on bills which only require a majority vote. On bills relieving "from disability under the fourteenth amendment the Chair has ruled, with the assent of the House, that the Constitution does not require the yeas and nays, but that the result must be arrived at by a two thirds vote, to be declared by the Chain. On constitutional amendments, however, on account of their gravity and the value of the record, the usage has been to take the vote by yeas and nays.
