SENATE.
Thurman, of Ohio, offered the follow
ing resolution, and asked its present con
sideration :
Resolved, That the President of the
United States ia hereby requested to in
form the Senate whether any portion of
the army of the United States, or any offi
cer or officers, soldier or soldiers of such
army did in any manner interfere or in
termeddle with the control, or seek to
control tho organization of the Gaueral
Assembly of the State of Louisiana, or
either branch thereof, on the 4th; and
especially whether any person or persons,
claiming seats in either branch of the said
Legislature have been deprived thereof,
or prevented from taking the same by any
such military force, officer or soldier; aud
if such has been the cose, then that the
President inform the Senate by what au
thority such military intervention and in
terference have taken place.
• Conkling said he would suggest that it
would be better to preserve the oustomary
phraseology of such resolutions by in
serting the words, “If in his judgment it
is not incompatible with the publio inter
est.”
Thurman said he did not agrso with
the Souator (Oonkliug) as to the propriety
of inserting tho words suggested. This
question did not relate to any foreign
power. If it was suoh a question, then it
would be proper to insert these words.
It was not for the Senate to submit to the
opinion or judgment of the President. It
was proper that the Senate should know
the faots. It was not a case
where the information would interfere
with warlike movements, although this
Louisiana trouble had the appearance of
war. It was not a war made by tho peo
ple. He would not say who did make the
war, but would wait for the facta in tbe
cose.
Conkling, of New York, made a long
speech contending that the President was
commander of tho army, and the question
should be left to his discretion. He
moved to amend the resolution by insert-
ing after tbe word requested, “If in his
judgment not incompatible with the pub
lic interest.”
Sherman inquired if the amendment
would preclude an objection.
The Vice-President inquired if there
was any objection to the consideration of
the resolution at the present time.
Several Senators: “Oh, no; don't ob
ject.”
No objection being made, the Vice-
President auounced the resolution was be
fore Senate, the pending question being
on the amendment of Conkling.
Thurman said he was familiar with the
usage of Senate long before the Btnator
from New York (Coukling) was, in re
spect to Foreign affairs. It had always
been the usage to use the words moved
by the Senator from New York, but in
time of profound peace, a simple resolu
tion of inquiry as to our domestic affairs
was not left to the discretion of the Presi
dent for him to answer according to his
will or pleasure. This resolution related
to what had already taken plaoe. It was
a question of fact, and there was no pos
sible way by which the President coaid
prejudice the publio interest by answer
ing it. If the interference in Louisiana
matters did take plaoe, the Senate could
ask the President to tell it by what au
thority of law it did take plaoe. The Sen
ate had tbe right to request the informa
tion, and if there was any reason why the
President should not famish it, it
for him to communicate that fact to the
Senate; or if he deemed it proper, ho
could send it to the Senate under the seal
of secrecy to bo considered in executive
session.
Edmunds, of Vermont, inquired if the
Senator (Thurman) could name a prece
dent when the words submitted by the
Senator from New York (Conkling) had
been omitted from a resolution.
Thurman replied he could name a hun
dred, if he had time to search the records.
He did not think it \va9 for him, hat in
haud, to bow before the President and say
it was for him to exercise bis judgment.
Louisiana was not the only State in which
trouble had occurred.
In reference to the organizition of tho
Legislature in Ohio, on one occasion there
were for two weeks or mere two bodies,
both claiming to be the Legislature of the
State, but thank God '. thoy had no fraud
ulent returning board. They imd not de
scended to that depth of perdition. If
Martin Van Buren, who was thou Presi
dent, had sent the military to interfere in
that legislative conflict, his troops would
never have left Columbus alive.
SPAIN.
PREPARATIONS TO RECRIVR THE KINO.
Madrid, January, 5.—Preparations are
| being made at Barcelona for the reoep-
] of King Alfouso. The oity will be illu-
ninated. The troops will be reviewed by
^ hie Majeety.
The Banks of Spaiu have advanced the
government Treasury forty million reals.
In .Pennsylvania, also, there had been
a similar instance, aud how would the
people of that State have acted had the
Federal Government interfered? What
would not be tolerated iu Massachusetts,
Ohio, or Pennsylvania for a single mo
ment wan now the case in Louisiana. He
desired to know whether, beoause of the
first fatal step in foisting an illegal Gov
ernor upon the people of Louisiana, all
liberty and all law in that Htato was to
perish ? He wanted to kuow who it was
that called to use the array of the United
States to organize the Legislative of
Louisiana. He did not want this matter
to be decided by clamor about tumults.
There would be a tumultuous spirit iu
New York, Ohio or Miohigan, if either of
those States were suffering from the seme
cause.
Conkling read from various precedents
to show that the custom had been to re
quest the President, if not incompatible
with pnblio interest, to inform the Senate
Ac.
Morton favored the amendment of
Conkling. He said the Senator from
Ohio (Thurman) argued the resolution, as
if it was in the nature of a mandate, when
tho very language of the resolution was,
“the President of the United States is
hereby requested,” Ac. If the Senate waa
to have information on the tnbject, let it
have the whole story, end this oould be
done by amending the resolution so as to
have the President send to the Senate
any information ha has in regard to tha
evidenoe of armed organisations in
Louisiana, hostile to the government of
the State. What the President had done
had been for the presarvation of the pub
lic peace. It had been done in view of
the fact that murder had been rampant
iu Louisiana, that thus# very men who
surrounded the legislature were ooversd
with blood and ready to oommit fresh
murder*.
Howe, of Wisconsin, supported the
amendment of Senator Conkling. He
saw no objection to having tha President
fnrnish the information, and no donbt
that it would be furnished. It wonld pro
mote the public interest instead of preju
dicing it.
Saulsbury, of Delaware, aaid there had
been Federal interference in Louisiana.
He hoped the time had not oome when
C»sar might oloihe himself in porplt, and
bid defiance to the American people. In
the elections last fall, these very usurpa
tions in the Southern States had much to
do iu casting the ballot, as it was, against
the party in power.
Logan, of Illinois, said when the col
ored men were murdered in Lovisiana no
voice was raised on tha Democratic side
of this chamber to challenge the wrong
perpetrated. He charged that those mur
ders were committed by Democrats. Had
tho Senator from Delaware (Saulsbury)
beeoms ths Bratus of this day to tear the
purple robes from Cnsar, that the country
might applaud ? He (Logan) was aa mnoh
in favor of having this information before
the Senate as anyone here, but he desired
to warn his friends on tbe other side of
the chamber that they must make their
friends stop their murders. If they did
not, they wonld be made to stop, and the
armies of the United States would be used
to stop them. Those who stood by these
murderers were no better than those who
committed the crime.
[Here there was a slight demonstration
towards applause in the gallery, bnt it
was promptly checked by the Vice-Presi
dent.]
Thurman said he had been asked to
point out precedents, where the words sug
gested by Senator Conkling were omitted
from resolntions of inquiry, and qooted
several. Among them was on# submitted
by Edmunds iu 1868, requesting tbe
President to inform the Senate whether
ho had established military departments,
etc.
Edmunds—Did any one raise the point
that the words “not compatible with
the public interest,” should be inserted?
Thurman—Why nobody imagined that
the Senator from Vermont could offer a
resolution not in due form. [Laughter.]
Ho next quoted from a resolution sub
mitted by Morrill, of Maine, in 1874, in
reference to the occupation of the Indian
Territory, and said he was not here to de
fend homicide, but it wonld not do to at
tempt to defend these violations of the
constitution and law by talking of mur
ders, assassinations, Ac. When the oauae
of the crimes came to bo known, the
American people wonld see that there
were two sides to the question.
Bogy, of Missouri, said he was not an
apologist for murder and disturbance, but
he did not see how the people of Louisi
ana could submit quietly to all the outra
ges heaped upon them. [Applause in the
gallery, but promptly checked by the pre
siding officer.]
Edmunds said it was high time that the
pcoplo of this oountry should know the
colored people should have their liberty.
He said the amendments were firmly
planted in the constitution, and the peo
ple freed under them are not to be made
tho victims of assassination. He read
Sheridan's telegram and said ths opinion
of that officer should hava weight. He
thought tha ohief duty of a government
was to proteot human life.
Thurman said he did not see whit Ku-
Klnx outrages had to do with the subject
matter before tho Senate. Senators
oould denounce the people
of the South as assassins, oall them Kn
Klnx and all such choice words from tha
Radical vooubulary, but he did tea what
that had to do with the faot that the ertny
of the United States had bean need in
violation of all law. Crime had bean
committed iu New England, and people
had been bung there without jury, but
that did not make all the people of that
section crimiuaU. The army of tho United
States h&d been used in Louisiana with
out authority of law to determine who
were membors of the Legis
lature, aud to organise it,
not by lawful moans, but by the bayo
net. If the President of the United
States were to overthrow to-morrow any
Southern State government, he wonld be
defended by tbe same cry of Kn-Klux,
White League, inarder, Ac. That wonld
not do. Tho time had passed when a
plain violution of the constitution and
law could be thus excused. Tne domi
nant party tried that on last fall, when
it got up a Southern outrage mill, with
the Attorney General at ohief miller, but
tha people of the oountry rejected the pro
duet of that mill. It waa the duty of Con
gress to harmonize the people of tbe whole
oountry, and not produce sectioual hatred
by constantly preaching that the people
of one aeotion are assassins and murder-
What wirrant had the Senator from
Vermont (Edmunds) for charging that the
people of Louisiana were assassins and
murderers, beoause some lives were lost
there ? Did that fsot make the people of
the whole State assassins ?
Morton said he welcomed the resolu
tion, bnt ha wanted it enlarged ao the
whole troth oonld be told. It wonld af
ford an opportunity to oontradiot the ten
tbonaand lies from Lonisisna. What evi
denoe waa there that the Conservativea
oarried the election there except the word
of tbe white leaguers ?
Adjourned without notion.
HOUSE.
Washington, D. C. January, 5.- Sev
eral bills reported from Committee on
publio lands and sent t j Committee of
the whole.
Sevoral bills of a local character were
passed.
Butler, of Mass 'ohusetts, moved to go
to the business on the Speaker's table,and
gave notioe that hia object was to get off
Senate oivil rights bill, and move to sub
stitute for it the bill agreed ta by the Ju-
dioiary Committee.
Randall failed to see tbe necessity of
going to business on the Speaker’s table,
and Beak gave indications of a determina
tion to filibuster, when the Speaker ruled
that the first question was on Wheeler's
motion to go into a eommittee on the
army bill, which was carried.
The bill appropriates nearly $28,000,000
and forbids reornitiug beyond 25,000 en
listed men. Without concluding the bill,
the oommittee rose, when Butler renewed
hie motion looking to reaching the Civil
Rights bill, when the Democrats went to
fillibuateriug.
After a oouple of hours spsnt in fllli-
bnstering, an effort was made at a com
promise.
In the oourse of the colloquy, tending
to that end Butler of Massachusetts, ex
pressed his willingness to have the Civil
Rights bill discussed, and fill proper
amendments offered aud voted .on. He
asked whether it was the purpose of the
Democratic side of tbe House to filibus
ter against a report of the Judiciary Com
mittee.
Randall—“Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof.”
Butler—“I understand tho evil of the
dav to be that we are wasting the pnblio
time.”
Randall—“No public business, whatev
er, is suffering by the course which this
side of the House is pursuing. ”
Beck, of Kentucky, declared that the
Democratic side of the House was willing
to go on now, and at all times, with the
appropriation bills, but that whatever
means he had to defeat the Civil Rights
bill, he wonld nee. He did not intend
to consent to go to the Speaker’s table, and
thus give that bill any advantage, if he
knew how to prevent it. He thought he
had a right to do that, and he wonld do it,
not to defeat public business, but to facil
itate pnblio bnsinses, which was blocked
np by the throwing in of this fire-brand.
Butler declared that he was one of those
who believed that thero was other busi
ness for Congress to do besides passing
appropriation bills. He thought that the
question of getting tho rights of citizens
was as high as that of gotting a little
more or a little less money voted away.
Gox, of New York, remarked that while
the Honse was filibustering the soldiers of
the United States were throttling the sov
ereign State of Louisiana, and Congress
was utterly indifferent to it. [Sneers
from some Republican member*.] If
they did not want to see a new civil war,
they should oall off the Federal bayonets
from Lonisisna. The Civil Rights bill,
if passed, wonld only make the trouble
worse nnd worse. For one, he would not
help the Judiciary Committee, which had
failed to report on the Louisiana question
Let that oommittee seitle that question
properly, and give peace to the South, and
then the oivil rights of the people, North
and South, would be better taken care of.
Bntler declared that he was as anxious
to get at Louisiana as any man on earth
[Laughter and clapping of hands.] Bat
a oommittee of the House bad been sent
there, and he did not propose to consider
the subject before the report of that com
mittee was reoeived.
Randall—“Then why does your Presi-
dent interfere ?”
Cox—“Take off your military.”
Butler—“I do not propose to make any
attaok or defense in regard to affairs in
Louisiana simply on the lying telegram
of the Associated Pre>s, or on any report
exoept the repjrt of our committee, and
wheu that comes in I will stay hero d»y
and night until pe »co is given to L mini-
ana. I gave it peace once, and I should
be glad to do so once more.” [Clapping
of bands by Republican members and
sneering remarks by the Democrats.]
Cox—“Why did not the gentleman do
it then, so as to make peace permanent ?
If he did well then, he has undone it all
ever siooe.”
Randall asked Butler whether he justi
fied the interference of the military iu
New Orleans aud tbe expulsion from the
Legislature of men who were duly elected.
Butler replied that he did not justify
the expulsion from tho legislative bells of
men who were duly elected, but he did
justify the throwing out of intruders,
voting themselves into a Legislature
to make laws for people who
wonld noteleot them. A Republican form
of government could not be gnaranleed,
if intruders were allowed into the legisla
tive halls.
At this atsge of the disoussion Waddell,
of North Carolina, objected to farther de
bate, and the speaker sustained tbe ob
jection. Adjourned.

MEW YORK PERU ON 1 HE OUTUAOI.
New York, Janaary 5.—Referring to
the proceedings at New Orleans yesterday,
the Herald says: “There was witnessed
in tbe Lonisisna State House yesterday a
spectacle which is the flrat of its kind in
this country, and whiob should cause
every true American to blush with shame
and indignation. We congratulate the
citizens of Louisiana and the peoplo of
the country that this extraordinary and
moat revolting scene did not provoke vio
lence and bloodshed. Foroible resistance
would have been justifiabto in this case,
if it be ever justifiable iu any case, for a
greater outrage on every principle of free
government was never perpetrated. Were
it not for the fact that the people of
Louisians have snre resource for redress
of their grievances in the sense of justice
of the whole country, and iu (he publio
resentment which will be kindled to the
highest pitch by these atrocities and un
exampled proceedings.”
The Tribune says nothing in the his
tory of even the greet conspiracy by
which the border, ruffians undertook to
seize the Territory and Btate of Kansas
oan furnish any parallel for this crown
ing iniquity of the Federal administra
tion.
The eitiaene of Louisiana have seen
themselves cheated and defrauded, and
whan the frsnd came near to failure,
they have seen the whole power of the
general government used to consummate
it, and make villeny successful, 'they
make no ontcry, bnt upon the facts, as
they are, they invoke the deliberate
judgment of the American people.
The World says, “we hope there is no
American who oan read the news from
New Orleans without a thrill of shame,
and rage.”
The 1'imee expresses no opiuion upon
the merits of the case.
The Kvening Poet says the employment
of the Federal army yesterday iu the or
ganization of tho Legislature of the Btate
of Louisiana appears to be absolutely un
justifiable. *
THE NEW ORLEANS PAPERS ON THE SITUA
TION—THE U. ». ARMY ORGANIZES
A LEGISLATURE.
New Orleans, January 5.—The 7imes
this morning says the foroe of the Btate
Government in Louisiana reoeived anoth
er illustration yesterday. Practically, we
have no government, legal or illegal, and
have not had for the past two years.
What is the use of this show of respect of
Btate rights? The rule is that of the
musket and the sword aud central author
ity, and everybody knows it. Proclama
tions by the President aud appeals for
assistance by Gov. Kellogg are tormalities
whioh do not cloak the real nature of the
business.
There is no pretenoe in this case of
riot, or su insurrection. It is the seizure
of the Btate House by the United States
troops in time of peace, a dissolution of
the Assembly and forcible expulsion of its
members.
The Picayune says: For the first time
in the history of the United States, armed
soldiers have invaded legislative halls
and bayonets been used to expel the rep
resentatives of the people from their seats.
No one ever dreamed the President had a
right to employ the army for the purpose
of shaping the organization of a Btate
Legislature.
Iu this case there was no emergency,
suoh as the law contemplates, and no call
The Bulletin says: “When the hour
arrived for tha constitutional assembling
of the Legislature elected by the people,
and absolutely admitted by the board for
strangling tho return*, tho army of the
United States was marshaled, and when
the organiz ng of the House of Represen
tatives showed a working force against
the Kellogg usurpation, a general of the
federal army marches his troops into the
very balls of legislation, and beforo the
Speaker’s chair dictates the roll call for
members by tho organization of the
HoU96. ”

Hon. W. W Belknap, Secretary of War,
Washington J). C:
I think the terrorism, now existing in
Louisiana, Mississippi aud . Arkansas
could be entirely removed, and
confidence and fair dealing
established by tbe arrest and trial of the
ringleaders of the armed White Loagnors.
If Congress would pass a bill declaring
them banditti, they could be tried by
military commissioners. This banditti
who murdered men here ou the 14th of
last September, also more recently
Vicksburg, Mississippi, should in justice,
law and order and the peace and pros
perity of this Southern part of the coun
try bo punixhe 1. It is possible that
tho President would issue a proc
lamation, declaring them to be bandits,
that no further action need be taken, ex
cept lhat which would devolve upon me.

NEIV OKLEANN,
Tlae Milaatlon on Sunday—Tbe Ktitle
House llttrrU*MUe<l—The
Programme.
On Sunday morning it was currently
reported (hut supplies were within the
building, nnd that the State House was
beiug barricaded. A Times reporter re
pairing to (lie scone, ui&nugcd, nut with
out difficulty, to effect an entrance by tho
Royal street doorway, the uuly one then
open.
An inapectiou of the interior of the
buildings disclosed that all the windows
and doors on Ih ' ground floor Have Royal
Mroot entrance—wore thoroughly barrica
ded with two-inch planks, a first layir
placed upright, coveted by cioss-Htrips,
and firmly braced by heavy stanchions.
Disposed about promiscuously were about
twenty-live poiicetuen, unarmed, except
with club and pintol.

Capitol on Friday. At about .1 ** —
Simply, there was an organization of \ t ^ 0 time of the
law and order, especially as the outlook
promised considerable excitement in any
eveut.
At 6 o’clock it was generally reported
that the Republican legislators were gath
ering At the State Honse, that the Honse
would bo convened at one o’clock on
Monday morning, and that no person
wonld be admitted into the building, ex
cept those holding certificates of election
from the Returning Board, contestants
for seats and members of tbe press.
TALK FROM THE INSIDE.
At a late hoar last night a reporter
from this offloe visited the State House,
and although he failed to gain admit
tance, interviews were obtained with two
persons from the inside of the building.
These persons stated that the Republican
members of the House had sought tho
refuge of the State Houso to avoid being
arrested on frivolous ohargos and
taken back to the parishes. Our inform
ants also alleged that all tha Republican
members were there exoept six, Ross
Stewart of Tensas, Henry Detnas of St.
Johu, Win. Ward of Graut, A. J. Cousin
of St. Tammany, aud P. Jones Yorke aud
Cain Sartain of Carroll. They also said
that to make up for the loss of the six,
tbe Republicans had with them nine Con
servatives, so-oalled, who would co-oper
ate with the Republicans in the organiza
tion of the House.
The whole number of persons in tho
building at that time was said to be be
tween 150 and 200, including a few po
licemen and some militia of Barber’s
command. Neither the police nor tho
militia, it was said, show any dispositon
to fight. Barber had rcsigued, and the
belief existed that Gen. Hugh J. Cumpboll
had been commissioned in his stead.
INDIAN TEBBITORY.
THE ORIGIN Or THE DIFFICULTY.
St. Louis, January 2.—The Democrat
has a letter from Tahlequah, Indian Ter
ritory, which gives the loilowing version
of the uffair reported last Thursday night
from Chelopa, Kansas, as having occurred
near Chow tan, Chorokee Nation : Jack
Doubletooth, who was one of the leaders
the late riot at Talequah, nnd Thomas
Cox, a white man, brought a load of whis
ky into the Territory from Kansas, and
had proceeded as far as Pryor’s creek,
where they wore met by Deputy Sheriffs
KonHine aud Cobstono, with a posse, who
had gone io spill the whisky under tbe
laws of the Cherokee nation. Double
tooth aud Cox resisted, and a fight en
sued. Cox and Doubletootb killed Kou-
siue and Colston was wounded. The lat
ter after beiug wounded fled to the brush*
and Konsiue was taken home by the
posse. Wash. Ways, another Indian, who
witnessed the fight aud who had an old
grudge against Colston, gathered a parly
of friends and pursued aud overtook him
and riddled his body with bullets. Ways
and party then fled to Ghanteou, in
trenched themselves in a log house, and
declared they would not be takeu alive.
The Sheriff of the distriet at last accouu's
was organizing a posse to capture them.
