Washington, March ' 7.—An extraot
from a letter written by Poet Maater Gen
eral Key, February 1C, ia aa followa:
I am ready to do all I can to reetore
oonfldenee and good gorernment to the
people of the South. Tbia can only be
done by a hearty freternixation of the
aectiona for wbioh I hare labored. * ’
* * If without requiring of me the aac-
rifloe of my peraonal or political inde
pendence, you find my name oan be uaed
for the good of the South in your beat
judgment, you are at liberty to uae it. If
I were to beooma a member of an Admin-
ietration, 1 ahould not feel myaalf at lib
erty to plaoe myaalf in oppoaition to
tie general polioy, but ahould
feel bound to build up and atrengthen
it in the bearta of the people, and if tbe
time arrived when I oould not heartily
oo-operate with it, I ahould reaign. Aa
mattera an in the South, I could be more
uaeful to our people by an independent
aituation, and if, aa I hope and believe,
the adminiatration will develop a broad
and liberal polioy toward the people of
the South, I would not heaitate to incor
porate my fortunea and aelf with it.

BTAUTLXMO XfTXOT OF THU NOMINATIONS IN
THZ SENATB.
When the nominationa of the new Cab
inetottoere were delivered to the Senate
nt 2:20 p. m. to-day by Mr. Rodgers, the
Private Secretary of the Preaident, the
gnateat anxiaty waa manifested by all the
Senatora to learn the names of the ap
pointees.
The list having been delivered by the
door keeper to the Yioe President,a num
ber of Senators eagerly rushed forward to
examine it, and in a very few minutes tbe
new Cabinet was the common talk all over
the capital.
Jast after the message was delivered,
Mr. Patterson of South Carolina,, submit
ted a resolution to refer the credentials of
D. X. Corbin and M. 0. Butler, eaob
claiming a seat in tha Senate from the
State of South Carolina to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections when appoint
ed, but the anxiety waa ao great among
sassy Senators on the Republican side of
the chamber to go into executive session
that there was an indisposition to consider
the resolution. It was agreed to, however,
without diaouasion, and then Mr. Bayard
submitted one to have Jno. T. Morgan,
Senator eleot from Alabama sworn in,
but Mr. Bpenoer took the floor to oppose
it and a motion for an exeontive aeaaion
at 2:80 f. if., was agreed to.
BVBBY OASIBBT MEMBER OBJECTED TO,
When tbe doors were oloeed there waa
quite a lively scene in the Senate cham
ber. Under the rule of the Senate
single objection to the present oonaide
ration of any nomination refers it to the
appropriate committee, and when tha very
first one, that of Mr. Evarta to be Secre
tary of State waa announced Mr. Blaine
moved its reference to the Committee on
foreign relatione. Then there was an
earnest discussion in wbioh some of the
Republicans exhibited much indignation
at some of the nominations, and Anally it
emed to be generally aoquiasced ia that
all moat be referred and that none of
them should be confirmed to-day.
Mr. Oonkliog demanded tbe reference
of the nomination of Mr. Sahara to the
appropriate committee, and quite a num
bet of Senatora demanded tbe reference
of Mr. Key’s nomination.
BOITIHO DBBATB BXPBOTBD.
In faot there waa more or lass objeo-
tions to every one of them, and there
every probability of an excited debate
over them when they oome before the
Senate again.
SMBS
The executive aeaaion eoaUnued about
twenty-five minutes, when the doors
ware re-opaoed and the Senate ad-
*
ooubsb or tub democrats.
After tha adjournment, the Dsmooretio
Senators met in canons and fully discussed
the policy to be pursued by them on the
minatlons aa to voting tor their con
firmation or rejection. From the gener-
tenor of tbe debate it is believed that
the Sourbern Democratic Senators will
use their power in the Senate to induce
tha administration to ref use any recogni
tion of Packard in Louisiana or Chamber
lain in South Carolina. It ia said by
them that if tha administration will stand
firmly on the polioy of nonointervention
in the affairs of those States, the South
ern Democrats will support it to that ex
tent. They maintain that to accomplish
this, through tha divisions in the Repub
lican ranks will be to win the victory
for which they have ao long contended.
NOMINATIONS HOT TO BB OOmMBB Of
SEVERAL DATE.
As the committees of the Senate will
not be appointed before Friday, the nom
inations oannot be considered in the com
mittee before that day, and therefore it
not likely that they will be acted on in
the Senate for several days.
OAMBBOM BSTIBBID SHIBMAH.
It haa been ouatomary to confirm the
nomination of persona who have been
members of the Senate without the pre
vious formality of a reference. This is
done aa a compliment to a brother Sena
tor, as they, from his aervioe in
the Senate, know his character
without any investigation in regard there
to by a committee, but in the ease of
Senator Sherman to-day the custom was
violated, it ia said at the suggestion of
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who de
manded that hia nomination be referred
to tbe Committee on Finanoe.
Dorsey, Bpenoer and Patterson era'rep
resented as having been eernaet in their
opposition in secret aemion to Everts,
Sohura and Key.

Washington, Maroh 7.—Tha tetter al
laded to in tbe following from the Repub
titan was written by Stanley Matthews
and endorsed by Wm. M. Evarta:
“General Banka, of the House South
Carolina investigation oommittee, and tha
United States marshal for South Carolina,
oalled upon Preaident Heyea this morning,
and had a brief conversation on tha po
litical aituation in that State. Tbe Presi
dent stated that he would have to exouse
any expression of his views ou that sub
ject at this time, as he had determined
to take some days for its full considera
tion, and not to act until conferring with
his oabinet; that he would than deal with
this subject in both South Carolina and
Louisiana.
It is stated that a tetter haa bean wrltsn
to Gov. Chamberlain by a prominent
friend of Preaident Hayee and endorsed
by another friend, intimating that Gov.
Chamberlain's resignation would be ac
ceptable.
The Oabinet bed not been organised at
midnight. Neither Blaine, Morton,
Conkling nor any body ia satisfied. The
adminiatration leader in Senate is not yat
indicated.' It may be Stanley Matthews,
who ia to auoceed Sherman. Should
Hayes by disregarding the pledge of bia
managers fail to pacify Louisiana and
South Carolina, hia administration will
open with deplorable diffloultiaa. Hia
only aafaty ia thought to be to oling
the ooalition wbioh, having tbe safety of
these States in view, forced the count of
the Electoral vote to an imue before tha
4th of Maroh. Honeoty and aafaty urge
him to fulfill the pledgee made for him
by his managers.

Washington, Mtreh 7.—Mr. Bayard, of
Delaware, who wu entitled to the floor,
said hia reasons for moving to refer the
eeederiliele of Mr. Kellogg to the Cam.
mi (tec on Privilcgu end Etcotionc, were
thou warranted by the unbroken usages
of this body, ao far u ha wu informed,
since the organisation. Tha credentials
of Mr. Kellogg did not oraate a prims
Jade oau, beeauu they ware signed by
Stephen B. Packard, who wu not Gover
nor of Louisiana, either dt jure or de fac
to. On tha contrary, tha Senate must
taka oognisanoe of tha public faot that
Francis T. Nioholls wu tha Governor of
the Btate, and had a legal Lsgialatnra
acting in eooord with him; thet they had
ooutrol of every part of tha State of Lou
isiana, eioept about one sore upon wbioh
stood a hotel used by Paokard u a State
House.
He argued thet Nioholla wu tha only
Governor of tha State, and hia certificate
wu tbe only one the Senate of the United
Statu oould justly respect. This
wu not new but it demanded the asms
consideration that it did in 1878; whan
the dieouaeion wu continued at such
length.
He argued thet it wu the duty of the
Senate to see that the State of, Louisiana
wu represented here by two persona, but
thou parsons must be chouu by her law
ful Legislature.
He then referred to the uu of military
in tha South, and uid there wu an admia-
■ion of tha outgoing administration, tardy
bat honut, that tha uu of military to
uphold State governments had been tried,
but with no good runlta.
He then quoted from the telegram of
the late Pruident, to the effect that a
government which oould not maintain
itself without tha strong arm of tha mil
itary ahould bo permitted to go down.
Ha (Mr. Bayard) viewed thet language u
a paraphrase of tbe language of the Dec
laration of Independence, under whiah
our people took up arms to make them
free.
[Ex-President Grant, who came Into
tba chamber soon after the Senate met,
wu an attentive listener to the above re
marks of Mr. Bayard.]
Continuing hia argument Mr. Beyard
commented on the legality of tha Louial-
ana Returning Board, and spoke of the
proof in regard thereto offered before
tbe Eleotoral Commission. He uid a
majority of tbe Commission,olaiming that
they ware only imbued with tbe counting
power of the two Houue of Congrsu,
held thet they oould not look into the
obargu of fraud against thet Returning
Board. There waa in that decision a blow
to bia fondut hopes and belief in lew.
He then referred to the remarks of Mr.
Edmonds, in the Pinchbaok esse in 187S,
and (aid that Senator baaed hia objeotion
to Pinohbeok on the illegality of tha Loo
iaiane Returning Board. .
He then replied to the ugnment of
Mr. Blaine to the effeot that tba decision
of tha Electoral Commiuion wu binding
upon the Senate, and oontended that that
decision bad no foroa in law to oontrol
tha action of the Senate.
Mr. Blaine uked if tha Senator from
Vermont (Mr. Edmonds) did not utiafy
himfalf u a member of tha Eleotoral
Commiuion of tha legality, of tba eom
patency and constitutionality of tha re-
turnang board.
Mr. Bayard uid tha Senator from Ver
mont gave u hia reason for aooepting the
Louisiana returning board his want of
power to examine into its returns and
composition.
Continuing his argument, he uid that
tha Commiuion refnsed to take testimo
ny, wbioh the Senate wu bound to take.
The remarks of the Senator from Maine
yuterdsy led him with much abruptnue
to ohaltenga tha position of the President
of the United Statu. The new President
turns to recognize u tbe lut predeoes
■or did the true condition of affairs In
Louisians.
Mr. Bayard then quoted from the in
augural addrsu of Pruident Hayea in
regard to Southern affairs end uid they
were win words. He (Mr. Beyard), reo
ognized in tha distressed condition of tha
oountry the need of that which tba Prui-
dant had proclaimed in regard to tha
Southern States. The pesos of Louisiana
wu the pens of all, and her deatraotion
wu tbe dutruotioo of ell.
He urged that the recognition of tha
Packard Government and tha forcible
overthrow of tha Nioholla Government
would not only shook the very soule of the
people of Louisiana but would num
thrill in every bosom in this tend. He uk
ed for Louisiana to-day the ume measure
of law and juatioe that he would for Mas
sachusetts. Mr. Bayard again referred to
the remarks of Mr. Bleiue made yuterdsy,
and said ha recognized in them the ume
ory for uetionel aggression that had been
heard for years put. It fell upon hia aar
like a firs ball at midnight, and ha earn
estly hoped it would not ha heard by tha
Pruident and hia constitutional advisers.
In oonolnsion hs deprecated this section
al aggreuion and hoped than would be
an and to it now.
Mr. Blaina had tha following tetter
read:
Columbia, 8. 0., Maroh 6, 1877.
To Bon. D. L. Corbin:
I have just had a long interview with
Hutall who brings tetters to ms from
Stanley Matthews and Mr. Evarta. Tbs
purport of Matthews’ tetter ia that I onght
to yield my rights for tba good of tha oonn-
try. Thte ia embarrassing beyond endur
ance. If anoh eotion ia desired, I went to
know it authoritatively. I am not actiog
for myself, and I oannot aunma such re
sponsibility. Plsaae inquire end tele
graph me to-night.
D. H. Chamrnelain.
LATEX.
Special to Efiyu(r«r-8wa.)
Mr. Blaine, of Maine, argued that tbe
same Returning Board whioh gave tbe
eleotoral vote of Louielene to Heyai and
Wheeler, returned a Legislature Republi
can in both breaches, end 8. B. Paokard
u Governor. Tba Legislators assembled
u provided by law and elected Wm. P.
Kellogg U. 8. Senator. Hia election wu
legal and valid.
He then referred to the remarks of tbe
Senator from Delaware, Mr Bayard, and to
hia oonrae on tha Eleotoral Commission,
and uid that tbe Senator as a member of
tba Commiuion never once voted with tbe
majority of tha Judges on that Commis
sion.
Mr. Bayard—Oh yas! Tbe Senator hu
not followed the foots of that oau at all.
Mr. Blanc—So far u teat quu-
tioos oame, I do not know what
little oonrteaies aside may
have bun on all tut quutiona known
to tha public. I think the Senator ia
uniformly on reoord against the majority
of tha judgu.
Mr. Bayud—The Senator hu not rud
the record end does not seem to know
much about it.
Mr. Bleiue—I erupt Cronin’s case. 1
think tha Senator did drop partisanship
on Cronin'a oau.
Continuing hia remarks, Mr. Blaina
■aid: Now, Mr. Pruident, this ia a sim
ple question. It is a simple invitation to
this side of the ohamber from tbe other,
to abandon tbe gronnd on which the peo
ple of the United Statuheve accepted the
elution of Hayee and Wheeler. Yester
day, I spoke of book door whisperings
end talk in oorridors, and uked if any
Senator knew that there was any sort of
understanding. I asked them, and I uk
now, if there is any gentlemen of this
floor who stands voucher or sponsor for
that understanding ?
There hu bun pot in my hands at this
moment a telegram whioh lam anthoriaed
to read, nay whioh I am reqnuted to rud,
and I think it may throw some tight on
thasnbjeot. I profess to be a plain,
blunt man. I do not want any hide and
auk on this subject. I want positions to
bs olesrly taken and frankly avowed. I
read this telegram u not exactly bearing
on tha Lonteisns question bat kindred to
it. Pouibly kindred dispatches ere cir
culating in New Orietns this moment for
tbe enrrender end abandonment of that
State. Tbe diapatob is handed me by tbe
gentleman, now on this floor end olaiming
to be s Senator eleot from South Carolina.
I uked who had been doing the whis
pering in tbe oorridors and the answer
oomu baok from Columbia. Is there any
Senator on this floor who desires to stand
sponsor for that dispatoh, or for tbe pol
ay thet it covers? Is there any Senator
here who propones to abandon the rem
nant that ia left of the Republican party
betwun the Potomao and tbe Rio Grande,
and that it ehall go down for tha public
good, u Mr. Stanley Matthews pate it?
Being little of a partisan, differing in thet
respect from the Senator from Delaware.
I am not after that. I do not propose,
either st the beck of Mr. Stanley Matthews
nor Evarta to ssy that the publio good
requires that tbe remnant of the brave
man who have borne the flag and tbe
brant of tbe battle in the Southern States
against persecutions unparalleled in this
oonntry shell retire for the pnblio good.
[Load epplease.] I do not propou it. I
am here to do battle with any one in my
hnmble way who espouses that polioy. I
ley that gaga down for any Senator who
stands sponsor for tbe suggestion of Mr.
Stanley Matthews radJMr. Evarta on tha
question. Nor em I to be disloged from
my position by e qotation from tbe late
Preaident of tbe United States, of whom
I would only speak in terms of personal
respect, because the late Pruident of tbe
tbe United Statu, having tike every one
of tbe rut of ns, the right to ohsnge his
mind-end alter hia views of pnblio polioy,
did not in the dispatoh reoeived by the
Senator from Delaware maintain the ume
attitude, whioh he maintained in the dis
patch which I shall now read.
Tha following dispatoh wu reuived
Sunday evening at tbe headquarters of the
Deputment of the Gnlf:
Washington, Jen. 17, 1877.
Qen. O. C. Augur, New Orleatu, Louie
iana:
It hu been the polioy of the adminis
tration to take no pert in tbe settlement
of the quution of tbe rightful govern
ment in the State of Louisiana, at leut
not until tbe Congressional oommittee
now there have made their report, bnt it
is not proper to aland quietly.by end see
the State Government gradually taken
possession of by one of the claimant-: for
the Gubernatorial honors by illegal
means. The Supreme Court set np by
Mr. Nioholls un receive no more recog
nition then any other eqnel number of
lawyers, ooovened at tbe oail
of any other citizen of tbe
State. A Returning Board,
existing in aooordance with lew, having
judicial u well u ministerial powers over
the eonnt of the votes end in declaring
the result of the late eleotion, has given
urtifiutu of election to the Legislature
of the State. A legal quorum of uob
House, holding such certificates met and
declared Mr. Paokard Governor. Should
there be e necessity for tbe recognition
of either, it moat be Paokard. Yon may
furnish a copy of this dispatch to Pack
ard and Nioholla.
(Signed) U. S. Uxant.
Tbe President, it will be oburved,
stated in the case, in January, with ths
tuts all before him, just as I have stated
to-day, and be gives a very correct por-
trstnre of the Niobojls judiciary, highly
landed by tbe Senator from Delaware.
Tbe Senator from Delaware uid thet
tbe few innooent remarks which I made
yuterdsy sounded to him tike the fire
bell in tbe night—they seemed destined
to rekindle the fires of sectional aggres
sion. Thet Senator and myself repreunt
different schools in politice. We oome
from different eeetiona. We have reprev
unted different ideas before the war, and
during tha war, and ainoa tba war—whol
ly and entirely different. While I have
tha greatest reaped end tbe kindut re
gard for him personally, I do not
propose to take hie advice on this
question. I do propose for myeslf
u long u I may be entrusted with n seat
on thia floor that who ever alu shall halt
or grow weak in maintaining it, ao long
u I hare the strength, I will stand for
Southern Union men of both oolors, and
when I oeaae to do that before any pres
sure, North or Soath, in offlaiel bodiu or
before pnbliesuembtiee,“may my tongue
oluve to tbe root of my month and my
right hand forget its onnning”.

By Tslagraph to the Journal of Uommsroe J
New Yore, March 5.—This afternoon,
a gang of ruffians attempted to force their
way np into the Sun building with a view
of healing down the Atueriosn flag that
hang at halt mut, Union down at the top
of the buildiog. They were loud in their
ezpreuiona against Dtne end the Sun,
bnt the prompt aid of the police end em
ployees of the Sun, drove the gang ont
nto the street. The main entrenoe wu
then locked end e tin sign wu pieced oat-
aide bearing the words, “Theother door.”
Thus all persons bed to pass through the
counting room to reach the editorial de-
nartment. The orowd wu lad by e men
t>y the name of Dnffy, end they finally
left, swearing thet they would return and
before dark compel the Sun to usul down
the flag.
Another aooonnt of the attempt to henl
down the American flag at the Sun build
ing to-day says, that during the afternoon
a number of belt intoxicated individnels
sailed upon Mr. England, the publisher
of tbe Sun, and impudently ordered him
to reverse tbe position of tbe flag or haul
it in altogether.
Mr. England, who is not aconstomed to
thia kind of interference, is reported to
have literally kicked the interlopers down
the stairs. They went to the fourth pre
cinct polios station and preferred a oharge
to Captain Money against Mr. England
for aauult. The polios Captain investi-
r i tbe matter, and instead of arresting
England, piaead a guard at ths door
to prevent any repetition of anoh intar-
feranoa.

In a period of rest and recreation, though
we oannot look upon him without saying

Governor Tilden feels no personal disap
pointment, he oompletely conours with
tha body of tbe people," who, he believes,
regards the captaring of the Presidency
of tbe United States by the threat of
foroe end the use of fraud u the most
deplorable event in the history of the

MR. TILDEN OPPOSED TO THE ELECTORAL
SCHEME.
An intimite friend of Mr. Tilden sta
ted yuterdsy that Mr. Tilden had been
Ell along opposed to the Electoral Oom-
miuion scheme. When he was aked why
Mr. Hewitt, who wu supposed to be Mr.
Tilden's moutbpieoe, urged tbe scheme if
the Governor was clearly opposed to it,
tbe gentlemen replied that it was a popu
lar error to suppose that Mr. Hewitt':
movements during the struggle for the
Presidency were inspired or diotated by
Mr. Tilden. Aa far os Mr. Hewitt's course
approving tbe Electoral Commission was
oonoerned, this wu certainly not tbe cue.
Mr. Hewitt sated quite independently of
Mr. Tilden in that matter, and ever since
the formation of the Commiuion with a
Repnbliceu majority, (which became in
evitable throngh Judge Davis' declining
to be the fifth Judge) ex-Governor Tilden
bed entertained very little hope of reach
ing the Presidency, to whioh be believed
be had been honestly eleoted. “We none
of ne tike to be oheated," remarked that
gentleman, with empbatio significance,
“end I do not see why Governor Tilden
should be an exoeption to the rale.”
OOV1BNOR tilden's OUTDOOR KXRHOIBR.
Ex-Governor Tilden continues to take
his nanel amount of outdoor exercise—
about two horns per day in the saddle. It
wee stated-that he had spent two hours on
Thursday in breaking a oolt named Ellen-
wood, desorbed u a true Hamiltonian
and half brother to Commodore Vander
bilt's Mountain Boy. His ordinary sad
dle horse, which be may be seen riding
any fine day, is a large, dark obestnut,
named Topic, who hu a keen taste for
sugar. When ex-Governor Tilden visits
bia stables, wbioh are on Twentieth street,
between Second end Third evennes, he
nearly always brings him some lamps in
bis pockets. Blsckstone, e fine black
geldiDg, used ts e road horse, end three
handsome osrrisge horses are also in fre
quent nu by tbe inmates of the Oram-
eroy Perk ruidence.

One of the moat amusing and note
worthy inoidenti of the reoeption at the
Senate wee the oocaaioo of a cell made
upon Hayes by Ool. Roberts and ex-Gov
ernor Penn, of Louisiana. Tbe former
ia aooredited with holding the first inter
view with Hayes, in whioh the new South
ern policy wu outlined, and the latter is
here as a reprsssntstivs of the Nioholls
government. Penn wu very psrtiouler
in bie make-up, lazily drawing on a yellow
kid glova M he went in to pay bis com
pliment*, and sm how matters stood la
Louisiana. Hayu reoeived these gentle
men very politely, and at onoe engaged
them in private conversation. Hardly
had this begun then in oame Senator
John Sherman with ek-Governor William
Pitt Kellogg.

the troops to be used for any otberpor-
pou than to protoot the peace. This,
leaving Paokard without rapport, of
oourse means his downfall, and with it
goes the Legislators that eleoted Kellogg
to the Senate. This accounted for tbe
frautio wildnsu of Kellogg in making at

OPINION OF THE RNOI.ISn PRESS.
London, March 7.—Tbe ELglisb press
is nearly unanimous in disapproval of the
projeot whioh is believed to be the buis
of Gen. Ignetieff's mission. The pre
vailing sentiment is that it would be un
wise to purohase the demobilization of
tbs Kussisn army by a prsotiosl surren
der of the treaty of Paris end conoesaion
to Russia of a future right to establish a
protectorate over Turkey’s Europen pro
vinces. Even if Turkey were alile to work
out utisfactory reforms, Russia or Rus
sian aooiatiea would not give her the op
portunity to do so.

REASON! FOB Nil OOUBSB ON THE ELECTORAL
BILL—FRAUD HAVING TRIUMPHED,
HE IS MO LONGER NEEDED.
Washington, March 6.—Hon. Abram
S. Hewitt hu resigned hia position u
Chairman of tha Dsmooratio National
Committee, in a latter of oonaiderabia
length, in whioh ha asserts that tha re
sult of tha eleotoral bill hu diuppointed
the hopu of every lover of hia oonntry,
and that the grievous wrong hss been per
petrated of awarding tba Presidency to a
candidate who hu no just tills to its hon
ors. Mr. Hewitt defends his ration upon
that bill, and, regarding hia assent to the
completion of the oonnt, mys that, a* an
honorable men, no other oonrae wu open
to him, bat that it honor had permitted
otherwise, hie judgment wu that it wu
Hie honest coarse for the oonntry, u well
as for the Demoo ratio party, to proceed
in scoordsnee with tbe lew to an orderly
completion of the oonnt, although they
knew it would ruult in the installation of
Usyes.
Mr. Hewitt reeitu hie opinion that dis
astrous consequences wonid have followed
tbe defut of tbe oonnt, malting eventu
ally in eivii wu. On one aide were an
archy end eivii war, and on the other
peace and order. He uys in oonolnsion :
“Under the eironmataooes I could not
huitste u to my oourse. I felt that, ts a
patriot and the trusted 'servant of the
Demoorray, no other oonrae wu left open
to me, and I feel tare ite wisdom will be
vindicated by tbe ssrly and triumphant
suocessof the Demoorstio party, standing
as it doos upon tbe wreck of justice and
patriotism, from whioh no amount ot pas
sion or provocation bu been able to move
it. For myulf I feel that I have now
completed tl» duty whioh wu assigned
me at St. Louie. The runlt of tbe cam
paign wee the unquestionable eleotion of
our candidates. That they rad the peo
ple have been defrauded ot their rights,
is true ; bnt for this remit I do not nold
myself more responsible than any other
member of Congress upon whom rested
the duty of oounting and dralaring the
vote.
David Dudley Field’s Speech ms the
Army BUI,
Mr. Field (Dem. N. Y.) sddresud the
House, end uid that the present question
wu one of priooiple. The supreme mo
ment hod arrived when the House oould
show whether or not it wonid exeroiso its
oonstitntioual right. To gentlemen from
the South, he oould ssy now was the time
to stand up, for if they stand up it could
be said, “Hold np yonr head, for your de-
liversnoe drswetb nigh." Was this tbp
time to give way, when the Bopnbliosn
party wu about to pleas falsehood in tbe
forehead of the nation ? No, deoidedly
no. The Constitution uid that tbe United
States ahould gnersntee to every State e
a repnbliora form of government, and
proteot it against domestio violenoe. Did
the gentlemen believe tbe President wu
the person to do that ? Did tbs gentlemen
from Massachusetts | Mr. Banks] believe
that the President bed a right to march an
army into Msusobnsstts and declare thet
it did not have e Republican Govern
ment ? Tbit power onght to be taken
away from him. Tha people had seen
an army used to eleot e Pruident. There
was not e men so blind u not to see that,
bnt for the nse of troops in South Caro
lina end Lonisiane, the President would
not have been eleoted who was to take
the oath of office In a faw hours. He ap
pealed to the Democrats to vote down
onoe for ell the monatrone dootrine that
the President oonld nu the army as be
pleased.
At thia time tbe sun, whioh had been
obsonred, shone into the hell, end, amidst
cheers rad laughter on the Republican
side, he continued is followa:] I taka
that as a goad omen. Let us stand firm.
If the Senate chooses to ssy that yon shall
not bare the army bill unless yon give the
President the power to keep tbe Cham
berlains and Packards in power, then let
them take that responsibility)! they dare.
