Senate security bill and reconstruction debates across Congress
Reports from both chambers describe debates on civil rights measures, a national convention proposal to amend the constitution, and lands grant for the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. Southern representation policy and reparations for rebel debts spark votes, while Tennessee state status and rebel voting restrictions face conditional terms. An army appropriation includes a clause barring Illinois Central Railroad funding for troop transport and enables suit to recover prior payments.
