Hessdrlcke an tka Admtaalon al NekraakA. We publish this morning jt speech from Senator Hkudricks on the blit for the admission of the territory of Nebrsska into the Union as a State, and the collateral questions involved, Which he discusses with the ability, clearness and dignity which always characterize bis efforts. The objections raised to the admission of the territory are clearly stated. The members of the convention called to frame the constitution were so impressed with the feeling Of the people against the organization oi a State government, that they concluded to adjourn without proceeding with the work assigned to them, and tbe constitution under which admission is asked,was adopted by the Legislature without having been submitted to the people for ratification. At the election in October last, one calculated to call out a full vote, the entire vote of the territory was only about nine thousand. At the most this vote would only show a population of about fortyfive thousand. The States are entitled to a representation in Congress when the population is about ono hundred and twenty-seven thousand, but it is proposed to give Nebraska two votes In tbe .Senate, and one in the lower House, with a population of about one-third of that number. The injustice of permitting such au inequality in representation is apparent. But there is another point which Mr. Hlt?dricks develops forcibly, and which will not (ail to make Its impression upon the country. It Is “ the broad doctrine of the equality of all the States in the Union,” under which even the radical Republicans of the Senate propose to admit Nebraska. Senator Wade disclaimed the idea that any restrictions should be imposed upon the admission of a State—any conditions other than those required by the Constitution of the United States. As Mr. Hendricks remarks, if Nebraska is admitted under that doctrine, it w ill be a concessioner perhaps, we may better say, tho reaffirmation of the principle that t! o people of a territory in forming their State government have the right to do so according to their own pleasure, even to tho regulation of the elective franchise, as she pleases, subject only to the condition that it shall rouforui to the requirements of the organic la w of the land. The application of this doctrine to the question of reconstruction now before the country, can be readily appreciated. We commend the able speech of Mr. Hendricks to the attention of the people. jr-g* The telegraph the other day furnished the country with the following piece of in-
formation :

Our reader* will rtmesaber that we have on several occasions publiahed statement* derogatory to tho character «f Dr- WlflHARD,Superintendent of the Soldiers’ Home, at Knight*town. These statements aroused a perfect storm of indignation agalnat the HruAi.n, and whatever of troth thetr may have been in them Dr. Wishard succeeded in staving off an investigation, and still retains the place. We publish below another statement from one of the Inmates. As it is addressed to the trustees of the institution, we hope they will
look into it:
To the Trustees of the Indiana Soldiers' and
Seamans' Home Association:
Gknthemen.—I desire to present a few specific facts which have passed under my observation during tbe last eight months. I was appointed by tbe present superintendent of the Indiana Soldiers’ Home, as market man, wbich position I have held (or eleven months, and for tbe faithful perlonnanoe of duty, Dr. Wisbard had my name placed on the county ticket for township assessor. A11 worked well until a few days since; I declined driving on account of the cold weather, and having an arm off, the labor was too great. I made a statement of these facts to the superintendent: he at once became highly enraged and abused me in tbe most vindictive manner, at the same time taking the blank bond wbich the county Auditor bad sent to him to have filled, and sarcastically remarked: “There is your bond. I can not invest a thousand dollars in you. When at tho time he could not have tilled tho bond if he wished to as he is not an
owner.of real estate.
I thought of the inspired, John M. Lord. Mun vested with a little power, cuts such fantastic tricks before high heaven that the angels weep. I presume Dr. Wisbard has not forgotten the time when he sent me in charge of eight men to Rushville and Posey township to vote, and then be back in the evening to vote at tbe home. He said we must make every effort in our power to defeat Judge
Holman.
I would respectfully call your attention to another fact—that Dr. Wisnard kept
EdPlUTY OF THE STATES. SPEECH OF HON. THOS, A. HENDRICKS, la tka 17alM4 Stataa lenate, Daarantor 17, 1866. aa the Admisaloa •f Nebraska as a State. - When this bill was before the Senate on Friday I expressed the regret which I felt at mating any opposition to the immediate admission of Nebraska aa a State, because I said that my sympathies were with the border set-
tlers^ and
should healtaM very much to oppose their desire, bin that 1 felt very much relieved from my embarrassment from the consideration of the fact that of the seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-six people who voted upon the Constitution, three thouaand eight hundred and thirty-eight voted against it, lacking but fifty of being one half of the people who
bat fifty of being . . voted upon the subject. I also expressed my gratification at the liberality of the views *xprested by the Senator from Ohio f Mr. Wade) on this question—views that I had not expected from him, and judging from his opinions generally expressed on such questions. The Senator said, speaking of -the amendment of the Senator from Missouri, (Mr. Brown:) “The pending amendment proposes to attach a condition to the admission of this State. I do not know whether you can do that. She ought to be admitted, if at all, on tb* same footing with all the other States. Up to this hour the regulation of the elective franchise has been regarded as a State question. It belongs, under the Constitution as it new stands, exclusively to the States of the Union. We have not proposed to take it away from any
State.”
Then, sir, after expressing some views in regard to the power of Congress over the Southern States, in which I do not concur, the
Senator went on to say:
“ 1 do not know what right you
that a State shall be admitted not on an equ
other State, and ahaU not be
com posed
neither
of policy nor
principles,
sljnction on account of race
exclusively of
' expedient as a matter
consistent with our republican pr;
which make no dis!'
or color.”
The motive for this action did not appear, however. It turns out, that for some purpose, the colored citizens of this district are bolding private meetings to arrange for voting at the next municipal election, and to consider other matters in that connection. Any political independence on the part of the negroes, it appears, is not a part of the Republican programme. They must be subservient to Hje white radicals, and any action which looks like slipping off from Republican partylsm, we are told, “ is neither expedient as a matter of policy, nor consistent with our Republican principles.” Negro suffrage may prove as troublesome to the Republican party as the elephant was to the man who won one at a raffle. The Republicans of Washington have won the elephant, and, judging from the resolution of the Republican Association of that city, they have come to the conclusion that the animal is disposed to do about as it
pleases.
I^Two years ago the radical papers ranked the martyred Fresldeut next to Washington—one was the father and the other “ savior ” of his country. If the wisdom or greatness of the Illinois President was questioned, it was regarded as sure evidence of disloyalty. It is not so now. Tbe record of Mr. Lincoln Is troublesome to those who sustain the action of the dominant party in Congress. Uls policy can not be maintained without conflicting with radicalism. The Missouri Democrat, an intensely “ loyal ” sheet, Is outspoken in tbe matter. It speaks of tbe crude and Illogical notion that made President Lincoln’s views a puzzle to mankind, and a plague aa well as a puzzle.” Alas! how are the mighty fallen. 127* We find the following item in an ex-
cqaoge:
Yankee traits don’t suit Jersey men. A Boston pedagogue has been arrested at Irvington, for mildly whipping a boy in his school, so that he died on the 3d instant. He is to be tried lor murder. We do not hear of a Congressional Committee being appointed to examine into tbat case. The whipping of a child at school so that death ensues, by a Boston pedagogue, excites no sympathy, but 11 the case had occurred in North Carolina, and the boy bad been a negro, Bumner A Co. would have been thrown ’into spasms, and tbe cruelty would have elicited at least a denunciatory resolution—but tbe boy was white.

many months, was frequently pummeled by this man Bowlin, and under the direct order* of Dr. Wishard.

Since that time he has not been heard of. 1 understand that his mother has written many letters of inquiry concerning him. The general supposition among the men U that
Simpson has destroyed himself.
Dr. Hannaman sent one Miss M., of Indianapolis, to act as matron of the institution. She was a lady of high mental capacity and of much experience, having been in the United States hospital at Louisville, Kentucky, for three years. She was truly a laudaole mother to the soldier. Well, she did not suit Dr. Wishard and lady. They could not have their private table when their friends came to visit them, consequently every obstacle was thrown in her way to cause her to resign—circulating glanderous reports about her in order to inspire tbe men against her; Mrs. Wisbard giving ten yards of home muslin to the wife of an inmate, to make this statement to Dr. Uannaman, as coming from Miss M.: “I can not see why they are so foolish as to spend so much money to take their crippled soldiers to the 4th of July celebration.” All this failed, sig-
nally failed.
Dr. Wishard then tendered his resignation, taking good care to have one of his pets drsw up a remonstrance and was aept at tbe same time to Dr. Hannamah. 1 was called in by this pet, and my judgment called for; and he had incorporated in tills remonstrance the removal of Miss M., and to place in her stead
Mrs. Wishard.
I told him I knew nothing detrimental of Miss M., and would not sign the remonstrance unless that part was stricken out, which was done, and the men generally aigaed the remonstrance, some through fear of expulsion. Dr. Hannaman sent some four or five hundred yards of cloth here, to have all tbe inmates a suit of clothing made, so they could b* distinguished from other citizens. I am sorry to state that not one mained soldier who is drawing pension ever received a suit of that clothing, without first paying Dr. Wisbard for it. 1 am cognizant of the fact that two men who were hired to ditch, received suits of this clothing, and the amount deducted from their

The broad doctrine la here asserted that when a State is admitted into the Union she must be admitted on terms of equality with the other State*: the broad doctrine sf the equality of all the States in the Union. And. sir, when Nebraska is admitted I shall regard it as a precedent, after consideration of the question by the Senate, that a Bute of the Union is to be admitted to representation without relerence to the character of her domestic institutions which do not affect her relations to the Federal Government. In other words I shall regard it aa establishing the doctrine that the people of a Territorv in terming their State government have a right to form it one N. according to their own pleMure, subject only to the condition that the government shall be republican in form, and that when a State has

Then, sir, from tbe Information tbat is before the Senate. (I exclude the opinion tbat came from tbe bureau of statistics), we sre not justified in say ing that the entire population of Nebraska at the time of tbe adoption of the Constitution was more than 35,000, at tbe time of tbe State election more than forty or forty-five thousand; and then it presents the question whether that population ought to form a State government and be admitted to representation in this hall and in the other House. I know very well, as was said by the Senator from Ohio, that there U no law upon the snbjeet, and no very unitorm practice; bat it has come to be the opinion that before a teriltory shall be admitted as a State it ought to have a population entitling it to a Representative in the other House, or very nearly so. In the States each section of country is entitled to a Representative in the House when the population is about 127,000. and with a less population than that a section of a State la not entitled to a Representative. Upon that principle, then, has one-third of that population, or one-half ot that population in a territory the light to a voice in the House of Representatives. Upon what principle can 40,000 people living in the Territory of Nebraska claim the same voice in the Senate of the United States that la riven to the million and a half of people of the State of Indian a? I am not upon this occasion going to complain of the unequal distribution«f political power in tne Senate; we all know it; it is felt by the country; but it launder a compromise of the Constitution, and I make no war against it now. But, sir, when we feel it shall we Increase it? Shall we rive to a people in a territory two Senators in this body when they have a population not

Tbe Senator from Ohio—Mr. Sherman—has expressed the opinion that we are committed to the admission of Nebraska by the enabling act passed in 1864, for he says that the people of Nebraska have complied with the conditions required of them. In some respects the conditions of the enabling act have been agreed to in the constitution whicn Nebraska has proposed for herself, but certainly the Senator did not wish to b* understood as saying tbat

I have been informed by men who have known Dr. Wishard for many Tears, that he has followed many branches ot business, such as peddling books and selling patent rights, and I understand be is a tailor by trade.

in no respect whatever has the enabling act been complied with. I understand the facta to be that the delegatee were elected pursuant to the enabling act. that the delegates met in convention at the time required by that act, and that having thus met, so strong did they know the judgment of the people of the territory to be against the formation of a State government and the adoption of a constitution, that they adjourned at once, without making any constitution, without taking any step* in that direction. Tbe popular opinion in Nebraska is understood to he so decidedly sgainst the policy of forming a State government at the time the delegates met that they adjourned without agreeing upon any provision of a State constitution whatever, and afterward—at what time I am not prepared to say—the Legislature of the Territory of Ne-
b»ka formed this constitution itself.
0ils is not the work of a convention. This constitution was formed, as I understand, by the Legislature of Nebraska. 1 ask the Senator from Ohio if that was within the spirit, or letter either, of the enabling act? Is it a regulative act to torn a State government and to present here a State constitution? Certainly not. And when the Territorial Legislature adopted a constitution that constitution was without legal authority or force; but I am free to say that if the people of the territory being of sufficient numbers had afterward agreed to that constitution in such manner and in such number as to satisfy us that it wae the choice and desire of the people, then tbe act of the people wonld give force and validity to auch a constitution. It brings us not to the question whether this State ought to be ad-
mited under tbe enabling act, but to tbe question whether the people of Nebraska have
agreed to this State constitutian.
The Senator from Ohio says that there are ople In Nebraska,
ht thousand.
Mr. Hendricks—Eighty-eight thousand people would give a popular vote of probably 16,000, and more than that—I should say at least 20.000. In the older States, where there-are large families represented by the head, tbe vote is about one-fifth of tbe entire population. In the State of Indiana, where the settlements are now old, and where families have grown up and become numerous, tbe population is about 1,400,000, and tbe vote is very nearly 300.000, showing about one voter to every five persons in the State. Now, I aubmit to Senators that tbe vote in a territory, in new settlements, is much larger in proportion to the entire population than in old settlements. It Is known to the Senator from Ohio, it is known to every Western man, that the proportion of unmarried men in the territories it larger than in the older States, and tbat the families of the emigrants as a general thing are not ao large as in the older States, so that the voting population is larger in new settlement* in proportion to the entiraqiopulation than in tbe
older States.
Then, Sir, I am justifled, I think, in saytn g that the voiing population of Nebraska would be very nearlv 20,WX) it there was an entire population of 88,000. With* voting populalion of from sixteen to twenty thousand, we are asked to admit the State into the Union upon an affirmative vote of 8,638. The constitution had no force until it received the sanction and approval of tbe people. No actof tbe territorial Legislature could give It any legal force and power. All the power and validity that it should have a* a State constitution and form of government was to be derived from tbe vote of the people. Then, out of an entire vote ol sixteen W twenty thousand we have 3,938 persons voting in favor of this constitution. Is that such an expression of the popular will aajustliies Congress in receiving a State whose constitution has been so irregularly formed and adopted? The Senator from Ohio [Mr. Sherman] then I think, is not able to maintain his position tbat we are committed by the enabling act; in his language bound to admit the State because we passed-the enabling act. If the people of the Territory had compiled with that enabling act, bad come here pursuant to ita provisions in every respect, then there would be much force in his position; but in the absence of a compliance with almost every r> quirement of the enabling act,I do not feel that there 1* any moral obligation on me to vote for the admission. The next question tbat presents itaelf ta whether there la such a population in Nebraska as is claimed for it, and as will justify us in tbe admission of the State. I do not believe that there are eighty-eight thousand people in that territory, although the Senator from Ohio read a letter from some bursan in the Treasury Department which undertakes to furnish statistics to that Department. The Senator waa not informed as to the means at the command of that bureau for ascertaining the population of Nebraska, and I think I am justiflni in saying tbat that bureau has npdata on which it may make a calculation. There is nothing in Un execution of the Internal revenue law which furnishes any information upon that subject. There is ao tax upon the head which enables the revenue officers to know the number of persons by the assessment. There is no census required to be taken by tbe revenue officers. It to no part of their official duty, and if they have expressed any opinion on the eubjee^ it ie simply an opinion and not baaed upon any information in the office; and I think, sir, the opinion expressed by the bead of that bureau it net comet. In 1860, when tb* census of the United States was taken, Nebraska had 28,841 inhabitants. It ie known to every Senator that since 1860, the population of the Western States and the territories has not to any con-
wuiaam/ dv mic tvsiawtavo, muu a umiVTTO&U IU express the opinion that at the dote of the war it la very doubtful whether Nebraska had as large a population as ahe had in 1860. 1 doubt whether in the spring of 1865, at the surrender of the Southern armies, then was so large a population in the Territory of Nebrsska as there wae when the census was taken in I860. I admit that since the doee of the war immigration has sgsla set in to the territories, and that the immigration is now in very large numbers to Nebraska; that the construction

think it ought not to be: and upon ground, and that ground only, I vote against tuts bill. Had there been s sufficient population in Nebraska, and had the people, in fact, of that territory expressed themselves in favor of this constitution, I should most cheer-
fully vote lor her admission.
I think that the consideration to which reference has been made in the course of this debate, does not influence my Judgment. The fact that Senater* and a Representative belonging to a particular political party have been elected, I think, would not influence my judgment.* I simply ask that when a new State seeks admission aba shall have anch a population aa reasonably and fairly entitle* her to a Representative in the House; and I think that is consistent with the principles of the Government and with the almost uniform
practice of the Government.
Tbe Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) referred to another subject, not connected with tbe admission of this State, to which I shall allude but for s moment. He expressed tbe opinion that tbe constitutional amendment which received tbe sanction of this body and of tbe other House at tbe last session was a mild proposition, and was just and fair toward the Southern States. I think I recollect to have asked that Senator at the last session a question which he did not then answer, and I will repeat the questioe to him now, and let him then, as a representative of ede of the States of this Union, say whether one of the provblona of tbe constitutional amendment is fair. That amendment was so carefully and artfully framed as 10 leave the Northern States s representation of from fifteen to twenty Representatives in the other House, based upon a non voting population. It was so carefully framed as to leave to Missouri, to Tennessee, to West Virginia, and to Maryland their full representation, when one-balf of their people

may be said tbat these people in ive been in a state of rebellion.
aw, is it right in a constitutional amendt to give to one State a representatlcn based upon a non voting population and to deny it to another State hecuu-e a particular population is not allowed to vote? Is it right, is it just, is its mild-snU fair proposition to say that New York may retain four or five Representatives bated upon a non voting population and to deny to Georgia representation for her non voting population? Is it equal and Just tbat one State shall be represented for her non voting population and another State not represented for her non voting population? That is the question. The Senator at the last session did not answer it, and I think
It ean not be answered

The wickedness and folly of tbe Southern States in going into that rebellion ean not be too strongly expressed by the Senator from Ohio; but when they come back by tbeir representation Into this body and into the other
House, do they come as States?
Mr. Wade—Does the Senator contend that the constitutional amendment provided that they might exclude a portion of their population from voting in New York, Ohio, or any other State, and still hive representation for
that portion in the other bouse? Mr. Hendricks—Certainly, sir.
Mr. Wade—I do not so understand It at all. Mr. Hendricks—There is no question about it. Mr. Wade—The amendment, as I understand it, refers to all the States alike In that
particular.
Mr. Hendrick*—No, sir. Mr. Wade—But I take a distinction between the power of this Government over States that bavq^orfeited their right* by rebellion and thosnhat never have. Mr. Hendricks—I am not discussing the view of tbe Senator who has just addressed tbe Senate, but that of his colleague. Hit colleague haa said that the amendment proposed at the last session was a fair, a mild and ajuat one; tbat because of ita character in these respects great advantage was secured to tbe party witherhich he acted during the last poMr. Sherman—Do I understand the Senator to wish an answer to his question now? Mr. Hendricks—Oh, no. Now, I will csli the attention of tbe Senator from Ohio who interrupted me a moment since to the language of this amendment: “ Representatives shall be apportioned among ibe several States according to their respective numbers, counting tbe whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indiana, That ta a general proposition and includes as a repoesentative basis all the population oi
lection
Ant and Vice President of the United States, Repre. sentatives in Congress, the executive and ju-
jng
one years of age and citizens of the UnUe'd States, or in any way abridged, except for par. licipatlon in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of auch male ettisens rtiall bear tp fee whole namber of male dtlzeos twenty-one yean of age in
sneb State.”
It require* some mathematical ability to un-
derstand this section, but I think the Senator will not have much trouble in arriving at tbe opinion wbich I have expressed, that it leave* to tbe Northern States fifteen or twenty represenUUres, baaed upon a non voting population, while it takes from the Southern State* entirely all representation based upon their non voting population, for I will ask the atten-
tion of the Senator to ths language:
“ When the right to vote is dented to any of
the male Inhabitants of such State.”
^ThriUs general; that would inclo4* all; but “ Being twenty-one years of age, and citi-
zens of the United States.”
Then they are not to be counted; and it
farther proceeds:
P.M U SUlU.S”*' 1 *'' 1 ' X “ P ‘ P “ 1C1 ' That language waa Inserted “ except for participation in rebeilloD.” so aa to give Missouri her foil representation,so as to give Tennessee her fall representation, and the same of West Yirginia and Maryland. They are not excluded from the baais of representation because they are excepted from the exclusion. So the exclusion from the-basis of representation does not include those who are not citizen* of the United States. It is nerv artfully, very carefully prepared, n presents simply the question, whether it is equality among the States ol tins Union that one State shall have a representation upon a described class of her population, and another State ahaU not
be allowed a representation upon such class. Mr. Cragin—Will tbe gentleman allow m
mr. vragio—
to aak him a question? Mr. Hendricks—Certainly.
Mr. Cragin—Does the coffstitutional amendment exclude the non voting foreign population of the Southern States more than the
Northern States?
Mr. Hendricks—Certainly not. Mr. Cragin—That is the point. Mr. Hendricks—“ Thai is the" point,” the Senator aaya; and what is the point? That the Southern State*, according to the census, would not perhaps have one Kepresentative “••ed upon a foreign population, while the Northern States, os was stated by one of the inert distinguished Representatives at the last session, have from fifteen to twenty Representatives baaed npon a non voting population. It can not be said now that the negroes are not citizens, and therefore, are not to be c® u,l 1 t «d for the purpoees ol representation. The legislation or Congress has undertaken to make them citizens and to give them political equality. Then, air, if you say that a non voting population, a population excluded by tjte law* of a particular State because of the poUcy of that State, shall be allowed as the basis of representation in favor ot that State, why not carry the same doctrine into I am not going to refer to the Intimations of the Senator from Ohio, that if the Sontbern State* do not aeeept of this constitutional amendment govemmente will be established over them. Of coarse we shell see what will be done. I am not going to diacoas that question now.
