I am obliged to the Senator from Kansas for his opinion of my industry and diligence in attempting to acquire a knowledge of bills pending in the Senate. I rather think I do understand it. but I do not understand it exactly as he would like me to understand it. Who supposed that I thought for a moment or that what fell from my lips gave anybody the right to suppose that I thought. because a man was naturalized who had been an Irishman. he divested himself of his property in Ireland? I said nothing of the kind. and nothing of the sort was squinted at.. I spoke of the interest that the Indian after he had become a citizen still retained in his tribe under this bill. that is to say. obtained the benefits which the Government of the United States gave to his hostile or peaceful tribe.
