Congress found it necessary to cure the deficiencies of the reconstruction Act of the last session, particularly as to the registration of voters, by two supplementary acts, —those of March 22 and July 19, both carried over the President's veto. Sumner endeavored to engraft on this legislation the requirement of free schools, open to all without distinction of race or color; but though he found new allies in Morton and Cole, this effort failed by a tie vote, a majority of the Republican senators, however, sustaining him. March 16; Work;, vol. XI. pp. 146-163. He made another like effort July 11 and 13; Ibid., pp. 397-408. He again declared his regret that military rather than civil methods and agents had been adopted in reconstruction, saying, I would not see new States born of the bayonet,—a declaration which called out protests from Frelinghuysen and Stewart. He agreed with Conkling, who had just then bec

ir mongrel, cut-throat races and foreign languages and religion. Sumner completed his speech on the second day, and was followed by Morton, who maintained that the acquisition was desirable as the key to the West Indies; and that if not made by the United States, England or France would shortly have the prize. This a familiar argument in such cases; but an interval now of more than twenty years has shown it in this instance to have been misapplied. The ratification was then supported by Cole, Nye, and Stewart, and opposed by Schurz, Patterson, and Casserly. After a few weeks' debate the Senate laid the subject aside, and did not take it up again till late in June. There was no popular demand for the annexation outside of a ring of speculators and adventurers. Here and there a journal, which was under their influence, or was quick to respond to the President's wishes, favored it. New York Evening Post, July 1, 1870, wrote that the scheme had no sympathy or favor with the p

C.), Sawyer (S C.), Osborn (Fla.), West (La.), Kellogg (La.), Ames (Miss.), Flanagan (Texas), Cole (Col.). Some reports put Hamilton (Texas) in place of Flanagan (Texas), and Pratt (Ind.) in place of J. Hill (Ga.); but Pratt's eulogy on Sumner, April 27, 1874, makes it improbable that he favored Sumner's removal. Those reported as speaking in lf. Morrill of Vermont at once sought the opportunity to reply to the argument of the message; and though the attempt was made to shut him off, he obtained (Sumner and others supporting him) his right to be heard at length. A few days afterwards Cole of California spoke briefly on the other side; and this was the end of the discussion in Congress. It had been found impossible to obtain a two-thirds vote in the Senate for a treaty, or a majority vote in the House for a joint resolution. Outsi
