Mr. GARFIELD. The Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses. Mr. " HILL. Well, one or the other. It relieved all those who were not in Congress at the time of secession, all members of State Legislatures, all civil and military officers, except the few remaining, some seven hun- dred and fifty. You granted them relief without any condition whatever. Mr. GARFIELD. The gentleman will ob- serve that those to whom he refers did 'not, at the time the war broke out, hold commis- sions as United Stat...es officers. Mr. HILL. Yes. Mr. GARFIELD. We excepted from am- nesty all those who held in their hands a commission from the Federal Government, and who had sworn to be true to their com- mission ; and we did this because they had added to rebellion — I must use words — THK CKIMK OV PERJURY In th« eyes of the law. Mr. TUCKER. Will the gentleman allow me to interrupt him ? Mr. GARFIELD. Certainly. Mr. TUCKER. Do I understand the gen- tleman from Ohio, speaking here to-day of kindness to gentlemen on this side of the House, to say that any man who held a commis- sion under the United States at the time the war broke eut, and who went into secession, was guilty of perjury ?
