"Suppose at the opening of the Fortieth Congress, the members from the late rebel States should be refused seats because of failure to comply with the terms of the Constitutional Amendment, and those Southern members elect should assemble in a separate place with enough Northern Democratic members to form a quorum, to which body would you present your credentials, and which would you join?"
Mr. Finnefrock, after ineffectual efforts to dodge the question made the following reply:
"If I believed I could depend on those Southern members to support the Constitution I would present my credentials to and join the majority."
