The question was then taken on an amendment, moved by Mr. Clark, of New Hampshire, to insert the word “not” before the word “duly” in the resolution of the Committee, and also before the word “entitled,” so that it should read that he “was not duly elected, and is not entitled to his seat.” This amendment was lost,--Yeas 19, Nays 21. The question then recurred on the resolution of the Committee. Upon the conclusion of the calling of the roll, the vote stood, Yeas 21, Nays 20, when Mr. Morrill, of Maine, said, “Call my name.” This was done, and he said, “I vote nay.” Mr. Stockton, who had not voted, rose, and, after stating that his colleague, Mr. Wright, was at home, said, “When he was last in this Chamber, he told me, as he left the Hall, that he would not go home, if it were not for the fact that he had paired off with the Senator from Maine. Mr. President, I ask that my name be called.” His name was then called, and he voted in the affirmative, so that the result was, Yeas 22, Nays 21. Meanwhile Mr. Morrill stated the circumstances with regard to his original pair with Mr. Wright and his withdrawal from it. The result was then declared,--Yeas 22, Nays 21,--making a majority in the affirmative, and the resolution was treated as adopted. * * * * * The sequel of these proceedings, ending in the passage of a resolution, moved by Mr. Sumner, “that the vote of Mr. Stockton be not received,” and the adoption of a resolution declaring him “not entitled to a seat as Senator,” will appear under the next article.

March 26th, immediately after the reading of the Senate journal, Mr. Sumner rose to what he called a question of privilege, and moved “that the journal of Friday, March 23, 1866, be amended by striking out the vote of Mr. Stockton on the question of his right to a seat in the Senate.” The circumstances of this vote appear at the close of the last article. On his motion Mr. Sumner said:--
