FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1830.
The railway to the top of Vesuvius Is
now completed, and its formal inaugura-
ion will take place this month.
—The New York Tribune, (Rep.,)
makes this announcement: Judge H. V.
Johnson and Joshua Hill, of Georgia, are
mentioned as possible postmaster-generals.
Judge Johnson is a very conservative
man, and Mr. Hill was a Union man
throughout the war.
The Moffatt bell-punch has lost its
tongue in the Old Dominion. A new and
stringent license law went into effect last
Saturday, and drinks are no longer regis
tered. A banquet was given by the bar
keepers of Richmond during the evening
in honor of the event.
—The new wells completed in the oil
regions during April add nearly ten thou
sand barrels to the daily production.
There are over five hundred new wells
under way. In the face of this heavy de
velopment there can be no improvement
in the prices.
—The unit rule, says the Tribune,
absolutely the only hope of the Grant
managers, and the unit rule lias never
been enforced in a Renublican national
convention. In view of this outlook it
would seem to be in order for the Grant
leaders to back up their “confidence” in
Grant’s nomination with some proofs for
its existence. Delegates, not confidence,
will make the nomination at Chicago.
The American Barrel of New
Flour.—The Tribune of Saturday, says
the barrel of new Georgia flour sent here
to be sold for the benefit of the Calvary
Episcopal Chiircb, at Americus, Geoigia,
was purchased yesterday by Lang & Rob
inson for $15. It was purchased on Wed
nesday by E. J. Jennings for $20 and
given back to be resold. It will now be
sent to the Millers’ Association, London,
to be sold again for the church.
—It is going to require the services of a
pretty able figurer to make a calculation
of delegates elected and to be elected to
Chicago which will nominate Grant. He
has now only 224, and is 155 short of a
majority. There are only 156 more to be
elected, so that he cannot be nominated if
he gets them all. As a matter of fact, he
has no chance of getting more than eighty
of these, and he may not get fifty of them
Clearly the time has come for the third-
termers to stop claiming and go to figur
ing.
—During a thunder storm at Province-
town, Massachusetts, Thursday afternoon.
Captain Elijah Doane and another man
were out in the harbor in a laige sailboat,
The lightning struck the mast, and fol
lowing it down, went through the bottom
of the boat, sinking her almost instantly.
The men took to the dory and reached
the shore safely. They did not feel the
shock of the lightning, and hardly knew
what the trouble was until they reached
the shore, when the crowd who had been
watching told them that the boat had been
struck by lightning.
—Freeman, the adventist, who killed
his child at Pocasset, Massachusetts,
about a year ago, was formally recommit
ted to the Danvers (Massachusetts) insane
asylum on Wednesday. During his con
finement there he lias gained ten pounds,
and is in excellent physical health. 'He
is generally cheerful and hopeful, but is
disinclined to talk on matters personal to
himself, ne makes himself useful in do
mestic work about the waid.. His de
portment is perfect, and his influence upon
the otherpatients with whom he is brought
in contact is good.
—A call is out for a meeting of
colored citizens of Illinois, in Springfield,
on Tuesday, July 20, “for the purpose of
concentrating our [their] views upon some
faint action as to how our [their] claims
as colored citizens may find a good refor
mation in the issue now pending before
the coming national campaigns.”
—A couple in the backwoods of Mich
igan desired to marry, but they were not
within reach of a clergyman or justice.
There was not, in fact, a human being
within twenty miles. So they wrote out
as much of a marriage ceremony as they
could remember, including affirmative re
sponses, signed their names to the docu
ment, and pronounced themselves hus
band and wife.
Hostility to General Grant.—
The Cincinnati Commercial publishes the
signatures of several hundred Republicans
of that city, obtained in a few hours by
two gentlemen, to a declaration of hostility
to a third-term, to the extent of refusing
to vote for General Grant if he is nomi
nated. Tho list embraces many of the
leading business men of Cincinnati. The
gentlemen engaged in this matter state
that if they had the time to go through
the whole city the number of names
might be increased to thousands.
—George Eliot is about sixty. Her hair
is not gray, nor her face wrinkled. Her
eyes are tyue and her hair of a sandy
color. She spends most of her time at
home, and is dearly devoted to her little
villa at 21 North Bank. She is about five
feet three inches high; is very affable, a
brilliant conversationalist; has a lovable
disposition, and is popular; receives her
frieuds every Sunday afternoon. She is
generally abstracted, always thinking.
Her voice is no louder than a whisper.
—Five Chinamen went into the Com
mon Pleas Court in New York, last
Thursday, to be naturalized. They all
have renounced their religion as well as
their country, and have become Chris
tians. Chang Lee said that he was thirty-
two years old, had been three years in this
country, and was a Methodist. George
Lee and Sam Wing said they were Epis
copalians. James Lee and Charles Chin
said they were Methodists. All spoke
English well, and declared that they had
carefully considered the results of their
expatriation upon their kinsmen at home
and themselves if they returned. They
said they didn’t care to vote, but they
wanted the protection the law extended
to citizens.
—The Vienna Neue Freie Prcsse has
tried the experiment of lighting its com
posing room with electricity for the past
two months, and announces its entire
satisfaction with the result. Eight “dif
ferential ” lamps supply a much better
light than was before obtained from
eighty gas jets. The printers, who are
the best judges of the quality of the light
and its effects upon the eyesight, are
unanimous in its favor. The system em
ployed is that of Siemens and Halske. A
force equal to about three-fourths of one
horse power per lamp is required for the
electric machine. As to the expense com
pared with gas, the Freie Preate says that
Where water power can be employed, or
where coal is cheap, the edvantage is de
cidedly on the side of electricity.

Washington, May 10.—I* the Sen
ate, the president pro tern, Mr. Thunnau,
laid before the Senate a communication
from the seoretary of the interior, stating
that his estimates for deficiencies for the
arrears of the army and navy pensions
have been found' insufficient, and trans
mitting an increased estimate of tlie saute.
Several petitions in fevor of the Eaton
tariff commission bill were presented,
among them one very numerously signed
by New England manufacturers, in offer
ing which, Mr. Dawes called attention to
the very laige number of such petitions
presented since the bill was favorably re
ported from the finance committee. He
hoped the chairman of that committee
would call up the bill out of its regular
order, and seenre its passage. The de
mand wa3for justice to all interests, and
therefore for permanency. No class legis
lation was asked for. There was amtaniiest
impossibility in fully revising the tariff in
committee of the whole of the Senate.
Many fruitless attempts to harmonize
and satisfy class interests bore out tills
statement. The commission, which
could give the subject full and deliberate
consideration, would alone give satisfac
tion to the manufacturing interests of the
country, not now, as formerly, mainly
confiued to one section, but extending
over the whole country.
Mr. Bayard, chairman of the finance
committee, said the committee had shown
their opinion of the merits of the bill in
the best way open to them—namely, by
reporting it promptly with a favorable
recommendation. The last bill consid
ered on the calendar was No. 304, the ta
riff bill was No. 510. It was well known
how slowly business of the calendar was
disposed of, and yet how much opposition
was always made to taking up out of its
order any bill that would evidently lead
to debate. He, personally, would use ev
ery effort to get the bill considered.
Mr. Platt believed there was a wide
spread demand for the tariff commission
■and that there was & disposition in the
Senate to consider it at an early day.
Mr. Baja d said if possible he’would
call the bill up in the morning hour to
morrow.
Washington, May 10 In the House,
under the call of States, a number of bills
were introduced, among which were the
following:
Ry Mr. Frost, of Missouri, a resolut ion
calling on the secretary of state for infor
mation os to whether any official notifica
tion or circular letter was addressed by the
department of state to foreign powers, or
to ministers and consular agents of the
United States for presentation to foreign
governments, upon the occasion of the re
cent visit to foreign lands by General U.
S. Grant, or immediately prior thereto, in
relation to said visit, and its nature and
character, and all correspondence relative
thereto.
On motion of Mr. House, of Tennessee,
a bill was passed requesting the President
to open such negotiations with France,
Austria and Italy as he may deem advisa
ble,witlia view to removing the restrictions
on the importation of tobacco into those
countries.
Mr. Wright, of Pennsylvania, offered a
resolution declaring that after the 15tli iut
stant, sessions of the House shall begin a-
eleven o’clock. Adopted without objec
tion.
A bill was passed dividing the State of
Louisiana into two judicial districts. This
is the bill originally introduced by Mr.
King, of Louisiana.
Mr. McGowan, of Michigan, from the
committee on epidemics, reported back a
joint resolution requesting the President
to call an international sanitary confer
ence, to meet at Washington. Passed.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, chairman of
the committee on coinage, reported a res
olution requesting the director of the
mint to cause to be struck off for the use
of senators and members, an additional
three hundred each of the specimen stel-
lar-goioid dollar, and the metric silver
dollar, the same to be furnished only on
payment of the value of metal. Adopted.
Mr. Cabell, of Virginia, introduced
bill allowing tobacco manufacturers to
import liquorice and liquorice paste in
bond, and exempting the same from duty.
Referred.
Mr. Atkins, of Tennessee, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, reported
tho legislative, executive and judicial ap
propriation bill. Ordered printed and re-
comm itted. It recommends an appropria
tion of $16,120,930 as against $15,527,938
appropriated by the bill of last year, and
as against an estimate of $16,092,920.
The House then at 4:30 took a recess
until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be
for debate only.
Washington, May'10—In the Senate,
Mr. Garland said he hoped the Eaton hill
would speedily come up, when he would
offer the bill which he introduced two
years ago for a tariff commission, a bill
which differed from Mr. Eaton’s bill
mainly in providing for a hoard of com
missioners which should be composed
partly of members of Congress..
Mr. Bayard said the finance committee
had shown their opinion of the merits of
the bill in the best way open to them,
nrmely: by reporting it promptly with a
favorable recommendation. He, person
ally, would use every effort to get the bill
considered soon.
Mr. Beck wished it understood that the
report of the finance committee was not
unanimous. He would oppose'the hill
to advocate that of Mr. Garland. He did
not want Congress to put its business into
the hands of outsiders, especially as it ap
peared in this case that the petitions for
the bill were all on one side—“machine
petitions.”
Mr. Burnside moved to postpone the
calendar and consider the House joint
resolution relative to extending the na
tional survey into the States. Agreed to,
and the joint resolution taken up. It pro
vides tlia* the national survey authorized
by the sundry civil act of 1879 may be ex
tended into the States. The Senate com
mittee on appropriations propose to
amend, so that it may bo extended into
the respective States, “when requested Dy
the authorities thereof.”
Mr. Dawes thought the extension of the
government survey into organized States,
would lead to unlimited expense. Mr.
Booth said the resolution practically
authorized the director ofsurveys to extend
his survey over the whole country. There
would be no difficulty in getting the con
sent'of the States. There would rather
he competition among them for its bene
fits. The result would be to survey the
whole country under one head; it was
simply impossible to make such a survey
thoroughly, and at the same time im
partially by the government bureau.
Aside from the fact that State lines and
State rights were to be disregarded, the
suivey would degenerate into a means
of setting forth the advantages of favored
sections, and of favored individual owners
in those sections.
Mr. Jonas presented a petition from the
chamber of commerce and cotton exchange
of New Orleans, reciting that a state of
affairs as regards levees on the Mississippi
river has arisen, making it wholly out of
the power of riparian owners to control
the inroads of the mighty stream, and
that the precautions which the State of
Louisiana has taken to protect the people
dwelling on its banks from inundation,
are completely powerless cither to close
the existing crevasses, or to guard against
threatened ones. The petitioners also
state that they feel satisfied from past and
present experience that no Stale can give
protection which is so urgently required.
Therefore they urge Congress to take
under supervision and control not only
the levses hut also the currents and wa
ters of the riTer. The petition is signed
by William Cunningham, president of the
New Orleans cottan exchange, and Cyras
Bussey, president of the New Orleans
chamber of commerce. ■ ■
Rending debate on this resolution, the
morning hour expired, and Mr. Hoar pro
ceeded to oppose the resolution declaring
Spofford entitled to the seat now occupied
by Kellogg.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, took the'floor, but
yielded to other Senators, and will speak
to-morrow.
The leport of the conference committee
dn the diplomatic and consular appropria
tion bill, was presented by Mr. Eaton,and
adopted.
The Senate went into executive session,
and when the doors re-opened, adjourned.
Washington, May 11.—In the House,
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, from the com
mittee on ways and means, reported the
following bills, which were referred to the
committee of the whole.
To regulate duties on hoop hand and
scroll iron.
To regulate custom duties -on sugar.
To regulate custom duties on certain
articles named therein.
Mr. Garfield submitted the report ot
the minority upon the bill to regulate du
ties on hoop bands and scroll iron which
was order printed.
In the Senate,the president pro tempore
laid before the Senate a communication
from the secretary of war recommending
an appropriation of $76,000 to continue in
service twenty clerks engaged in preparing
reports to expedite the settlement of pen
sion applications, and who otherwise will
have to be discharged on the 30th proxi
mo.
The House committee on commerce,
decided to-day to snake an effort to secure
the passage of the river and harbor hill
Monday next, under a suspension of the
rules. The committee instructed Repre
sentative McLane to report favorably to
the House a hill appropriating a hundred
thousand dollars for a hospital at New
Orleans.
The committee on ways and means to
day took up the concurrent resolution re
ferred to them, which provides for ad
journment'on the 24th of May. Mr.
Phelps offered as a substitute that Con
gress adjourn on the 31st of May. On
motion the consideration of the question
was assigned for Thursday next, when a
vote will be taken upon the substitute,
and it is believed the committee will agree
to report it to the House.
The committee agreed , to take action
upon Mr. Gibson’s income tax hill on
Thursday, and instructed Mr. Tucker to
report to the House the sugar bill and
general tariff “bill, giving priority to the
former.
Washington, May 11.—In the Senate,
at the expiration of the morning hour, the
Senate concurred in the House amend
ment to the joint resolution authorizinj
the President to call an international
sanitary conference. The amendment
includes among the countries from which
delegates are to be invited those subject
to cholera.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the Kellogg-Spofford resolutions, Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, speaking in their sup
port. He proposed, he said, to discuss
chiefly the legal aspects of the case, giving
the facts as far as necessary to illus
trate principles- It was conceded, he
said, on all hands, that a legislature was
chosen in Louisiana in 1876. The_ question
to be determined, then, is which body
claiming to be the legislature was such
legislature in fact. If the true legislature
chose Spoffori, Kellogg was not entitled
to his seat. Which, then, was the true
legislature? The legislature of a State,
Mr; Hill contended, is the body of persons
invested with authority to make laws for
the government of such State. It derives
its powers to make such 1 aws solely from
the people, under tho State constitution.
This being so, it necessarily follows that
the people who confer such powers upon
the legislature, must alone have the right
to say upon what body of men they con
fer it. In other words, the State must de
cide for itself what body constitutes its
legislature, and no other person or power
has any right to decide for the State this
important question. The opinion has
prevailed in some quarters that
when there were two bodies
State, each of which claimed
to be the legislature, some power outside
of the State—the Senate, for instance—
could interfere and decide which was the
legally organized body. In no possible
contingency, Mr. Hill said, could such a
doctrine hold good. If domestic violence
prevented a State from determining for it
self which was its true legislature, the
President might be called upon to put
down violence and remove obstructions,
so as to give the State freedom to choose
for herself her legislature; but, no power
outside of the State had authority to make
that choice for her. In the present case,
the State of Louisiana recognized the
Nicbolls legislature before Kellogg was
seated by the Senate, and decided that the
Packard legislature was a body whose
enactments were not binding upon
any person whatever, and whose
appointees had no valid ti
tles. Not only this, but she definitively
recognized the Nicbolls legislature as for
its whole term. It was absurd to sup
pose that one body could be the legislature
for one or two months and then another
body become the legal assembly. The
Nicbolls legislature was chosen in 1876
for two years, and was the only legal
body for the entire two years. The Pack
ard legislature had at no time whatever
a legal standing. The State having de
cided, where does the Senate get the pow
er to reverse it? If such power existed,
it would destroy the right of self-govern
ment in the State. Mr. Hill would feel
that he had discharged a duty, if to-day
he' said nothing more than this one thing
—that there could-he nothing more dan
gerous than to say that the Sen
ate, or any power but the State,
could determine what was a legislature,
If the Senate could go into a state and de
cree that any uiob was its legislature,
what would become of the State? He
warned his friends from the -weaker part
of the country to beware when the doctrine
that the Senate could reverse the action of
a State prevailed. States would be at the
mercy of an outside, power, and would
lose their rights forever.
It has been shown that the Packard
Legislature never passed an act which
was obeyed by anybody in Louisiana. It
was a body of conspirators against the will
of the people, commenced by fraud, held
together by force and controlled by bribery
and-corruption. Mr. Hill then proceeded
to discuss the theory of government under
which the Senate was created, with a view
to defining its functions and powers. He
admitted it had the power to judge of the
qualification of its own members, but it
had no right to judge which of two bodies
was the legislature of a State. All it could
do was to ascertain which body the State
itself recognized. With regard to the ar
gument that the Senate, once having seat-,
ed Kellogg, the case was then “reaadjudi-
cataMr. Hill said no wrong action of
the Senate should be permitted to deprive
a State of its equal representation. Kel
logg ought not to have been seated in the
first place. His election was void, even
admitting the legality of the legislature
from which he claims to derive his title.

BAY DISPATCHES.
Northern Methodist Conference.
Cincinnati, May 12.—A great crowd
was present at the session of the Metho
dist general conference this morning.
Among the resolutions offered was one by
Rev. Mr. Hammond (colored), of the Lex
ington conference, for the election of col
ored bishops. He supported this resolu
tion ina very masterly speech, arguing
that a church which had such a shining
record as this has on the subject of human
slavery, and that has stood so bravely by
the colored race in all movements for its
elevation, could not ask the nation to .do
for the colered man that which the church
denied. Loud and long applause fol
lowed his speech.
Dr. O’Neal, of the committee on epis
copacy, said the committee already had
the subject under consideration, and he
could promise that it would he settled
without prejudice and solely upon the
consideration of the good of the church.
The special order for ten o’clock, the
election of bishops, was then taken up.
No nominations were made. Twelve tel
lers were appointed, and the secretary
called the roll; each delegate, rising, an
swered, received his ballot, and called out
his vote. At the conclusion the tellers
retired, with instructions not to divulge
the result in any way, which should be
known at the afternoon session.
Bishop Simpson introduced a resolu
tion, which was adopted, approving the
project of holding a council in London in
August 1881, and requesting the appoint
ment of two persons to act with Bishop
Simpson in behalf of this general confer
ence in making arrangements, and also re
questing that at least three bishops be ap
pointed as delegates. Adjourned to meet
at 2:30 p. m. - '
.Good Advice.—Governor Colquitt,
Colonels Hardeman, Gartrell, Lester and
perhaps others are strongly supported by
their friends as gubernatorial candidates.
It is some time yet till the convention
meets, and it is uncertain who will receive
the nomination. Meantime, let all en
deavor to secure . harmony.
Coneress.
Washington, May 12.—In the House the
speaker proceeded to call committees for
reports. Bills were reportedand disposed
of as follows: By WhitUiorne, of Tenues- .said as
see, from the committee on naval affairs,
for appointment of a commission to select
a site on the northwest coast for a navy
yard. Referred to the committee of the
whole.
By Goode, of Virginia, from the same
committee, a bill authorizing the secretary
of the navy to take necessary steps to se
cure adequate coaling stations and har
bors for the use of the United States naval
forces at proper points on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of Central America, and the
American Isthmus. Placed, upon the
House calendar.
In the Senate, Mr. Ingalls, from the
committee on Indian affairs, reported,
with amendments, Senate bill to carry
into effect the second and sixteenth arti
cles of the treaty between the United
States and the Great and Little Osage In
dians, proclaimed January 1st, 1S67,
which was placed on the calendar.
A number of petitions were presented,
and hills introduced and referred.
On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the Senate
resumed consideration of a bill to provide
for ascertaining and settling private land
claims in certain States and Territories.
Washington, May 12.—The Senate
committee on appropriations this morning
received a report of the sub-committee on
the post-office appropriation hill and after
considerable discussion instructed Mr.
Wallace to report the hill to the Senate
with a number of important amendments.
The committee will strike out the whole
of the House requirement for re-letting ex
pedited star service contracts and also the
clause authorizing the postmaster general
to remit in favor of the colonies of New
Zealand and New South Wales so much
of the charge for overland transportation
Having finished his legal argument,' exercised a.ainat the Jesuits. Letters
Mr. Hill spoke upon the general aspect of
the case. After referring to the deplorable
condition of the South at the close of the
war, he said the troubles in the South
since the war-have never had the slightest
foundation in any disposition on the part
of the Southern people to question or re
sist the authority of the Federal govern
ment. “I affirm, on the contrary, what I.
far back as 186S — what I
have repeated often, that if Con
gress had taken upon itself
to frame a constitutkm here for each of
the Southern States, the Southern people
would have accepted them and organized
their governments under them, trusting to
time, experience and wisdom to cure
whatever defects they might have pos
sessed. Neither ltave the troubles in the,
South since the war grown out
of natural antagonism between the
two races. * There - has been no
disposition on the part of the Southern
whites to do iiijustice to the blacks.
Where 'there have been troubles, they
have come from the unlawful acts which
disfranchised 250,000 of the very best peo
ple of the South—men of property and
experience who had been* intrusted with
office. This, of itself, would not have
been fatal, hut taken together
with the enfranchisement of the blacks
and disturbing influence of'the carpet
baggers who come South to profit by the
situation there,and whostirred updissen-
sensions between the races to further their
own ends,it was the cause of all its troub
les. But Mr. Hill looked confidently
to the Senate to prevent the disfranchise
ment of a sovereign State, anil to remedy
the wrongs of which the South complained
At the conclusion of Mr. Hill’s speech,
Mr. Hampton obtained the floor, but said
he would prefer not to begin ins argu
ment until Monday. Thereupon the Sen
ate adjourned.
The Senate in executive session to-day
resumed the consideration of the nomina
tion of Robert M. Wallace fer reappoint
ment as United States marshal for South
Carolina. Ilis confirmation was earnestly
of Australian mails as ho may deem just,
The committee add the following
amounts to House items for the purposes
named: $350,000 for railroad mail service,
$25,000for pay of mail messengers and
$75,000 for new mail locks.

Cotton Operatives’ Strike,
Blackburn, May 12.—A meeting
of delegates from twenty-five towns in the
Northern counties, after hearing the re
sult of the Manchester meeting, resolved
to recommend the operatives to remain at
work. A meeting of 8,000 weavers, how
ever, resolved to strike.
From 27,000 to 35,000 operatives
will be thrown idle this morning on
account of the strike. Many towns in north
and northeast Lancashire have promised
to support the strike. A protracted strug
gle is apprehended, and precautions
against rioting have been taken.
Manchester, May 12.—The Manches
ter Guardian, in its commercial article
this morning, says the strike by the
Blackburn cotton operatives and the “short
time” by which it will be accompanied
in other districts in North Lancashire
have exercised no perceptible influence on
this market. The supply of goods in com
parison with current requirements is am
ple, and buyers do not seem to anticipate
any scarcity. The masters’ association of
Oldham recommend a week’s holiday.
Paris, May 12.—A semi-official note
has been sent to the provincial papers,
stating that directors of unauthorized re
ligious communities, seeming resolved to
await the delay fixed’by the decrees with
out demanding authorization, and then if
expelled, to invoke the law against viola
tion of domicile and property, the gov
ernment lm taken measures to meet that
emergency. The prefects, as soon as the
military councils of revision have finished
their labors, will be summoned to Paris
to receive verbal instructions regarding
the carrying out of the decrees.
Weit Virginia Republican Conven
tion.
Wheeling, May 12.—The Republican
State convention met this morning in the
opera house. About 200 delegates are in
attendance, and all counties are represent
ed. Ex-Governor Stevenson, of Wood
county, was elected temporary chairman.
The usual committees were appointed,
and the convention took a recess.
Foreign.
London, May 12.—Tho race for the
Payne stakes for three year old colts and
fillies came oil' to-day at the Newmarket
second spring meeting, and was won by
Princo Soltakoll’s chestnut colt, Mask;
R. C. Naylor’s bay colt, the Abott, sec
ond; L. E. Walker’s hay or brown filly,'
Elizabeth, third. Twelve ran.
Bordeaux, May 12.—A fire has been
raging here since 9 o’clock this morning
in the bonded warehouse on Rue Dacalan.
The building is the property of the cham
ber of commerce, and is stored with alco
hol, ram, absinthe and other articles. It
is almost impossible to subdue the flames.
The adjacent communal school house is iu
great danger.
Congress.
Washington, May 12.—In the Senate,
after some debate on the land claims bill,
the morning hour expired, and the bill
went over without action.
Mr. Hill then resumed his argument in
support of the resolutions to unseat Kel
logg. He took up the cipher dispatches
produced before the committee, and
gave a translation of a number of them,
with comments of his own, to show their
significance. In view of these tele
grams, he said, no intelligent man
could doubt that the power of
the- government had been employed
in suborning witnesses. A review of the
evidence shows that there was no quorum
on the day of the Senatorial election, and
that most of those present were bribed.
Even admitting for tho sake of argument
that the Packard legislature was a lawful
body, these facts were sufficient to unseat
Kellogg. At tho time of the first investi
gation by the Senate, the evidence of brib
ery and of no quorum in the Packard leg
islature, was not considered. The case
therefore was not adjudicated on a full
examination of facts. It was competent,
he said, even in a court, to go behind the
prima facie appearance of settlement to
prove that certain facts were ignored.
Mr. Hill then reviewed the evidence ta
ken by the committee, to show that the
Packard legislature had no quorum at the
time of Kellogg’s election. Continuing,
he said that the Republicans had refused
to accept the decision made by the State
of Louisiana, when it recognized the
Nicholls legislature. They insisted upon
going back to the returning board, and
deciding upon the correctness of its ac
tions.
The electoral commission dose was ap
plied to the action of the Senate to aid a
partisan necessity, and evidence of bribery
and fraud was admitted. The principle
upon which the people hadbeendefrauded
of their president in 1876, was employed
to defraud the State of Louisiana of her
Senator in 1877, against the protest of the
Democrats. Now it was said that the
Democrats were to help the Republicans
to perpetuate this iniquity. If they did,
they admitted that the Democratic party
for three years had been slandering the
returning hoard of Louisiana: that, after
all, it committed no fraud. They made
the returning hoard respectable, and
brought the electoral commission into
credit and themselves into shame. If
they did this thing, they ought
to go down on their knees to
Wells, Casauave, and Kenner,
and beg their pardon for slandering
them. Mr. Hill insisted on this point be
cause he had resented this attempt. to
bring a Democratic Senate to endorse
the action of the electoral commission.
He begged his Democratic colleagues not
to fall into this trap. There
was a cry that to unseat a
Senator would- endanger the right
of every other Senator to his 3eat. “But,”
said Mr. Hill, “let every Senator do his
duty. No one lawfully entitled to his
seat need fear such a precedent: Some
said the proper remedy in such a case as
this was expulsion.” Mr. Hill thought
expulsion the proper remedy when the
question involved was the,' character of
the incumbent. When, however, it was
the constitutionality of his election and
the maintenance of the rights of a State,
it was not a proper remedy.
