SENATE.
Washington, February 26. Mr.
Thurman called up tlie bill amending
the charter of the Freedman’s Sav
ings & Trust Company, and for other
purposes, which was passed.
CIVIL BIGHTS BILL.
Tho Civil Rights hill was then pro
ceeded with.
Mr. Thurman moved to amend the
fourth section so as to exclude from
its operation Stato juries. Ho held
that there was nothing in the Four
teenth amendment to give Congress
power to prescribe the qualifications
of jurors In the State courts.
Bout well argued as to the power of
Congress to enact all measures to
place nil citizens of tlm country on
an equal footing.
Morton said the present laws in
! many of the States excluding colored
men from tho jury box, were in viola
j tion of the Fourteenth amendment,
as it deprived them of equal protoo
| tion of tho laws. No race or class of
men could have equal protection,
when, if one of them committed a
crime, he should he tried by persons
of another race or class.
Thurman said women and children
did not sit in the jury box, and yet no
one could deny that they had equal
; protection of the laws. He said, fnr-
I (her, that, he never would ho willing
to give the colored men of this coun
try more privileges than tho white j
women. [Applause in tho galleries.]
In the course of a colloquy between
Mr. Thurman and Morton, Mr Mor
ton intimated that Mr. Thurman was
a Bourbon, and clung to all tho old
ideas entertained before tlie war.
Mr. Thurman said ho would even i
sooner he that, than to change his!
opinions, like tlie Senator from Indi-1
ana, with every passing breath.
Mr. Merriinon made some remarks ]
charging political motives as lying at
the bottom of tlie desire to pass this
bill. When lie concluded there was a
lull in the proceedings.
No Senator appeared prepared togo !
on, but finally Mr. Norwood took the j
floor, and concluded a speech which |
lie had commenced in tlie Pinchbaek j
ease. Before concluding his remarks |
Mr. Norwood gave way, and the!
Senate went into Executive session, I
after which a recess to 7.30 p. m. was !
taken.
The Senate reassembled at 7:30 p.
m., and tho consideration of the
Civil Rights bill was at once proceed
ed with.
Mr. Norwood continued his speech
on Louisiana affairs and the condi
tion of the South generally. He
maintained that tho President ex
ceeded his authority in using the
army as lie had in Louisiana, and if;
tlie American people submitted to It j
tiie Republic was at an end, and the;
empire might, as well be hailed at
once.
In regard to the President’s mes- j
sage on tho lawlessness in the
South, he contended that the Itepub-;
lican party was responsible for all
the lawlessness in tho South. The
reconstruction policy of Congress had
stood in the way of the people of tlie
South, and thwarted their progress. ,
He regarded tho President as entirely I
responsible for the military interior- i
once in Louisiana. He commended
the heroism and forbeuranee of the
people of Louisiana, under the cir
cumstances.
by which they were surrounded, and
drew a picture of the manner in
which he said they had been slander
ed and oppressed. He said tie would
appeal to them by every motive to
continue to suffer and forbear until
1876, when tho verdict of the Ameri
can people would be recorded.
Hamilton, of Maryland, obtained
the floor, and the Senate, at 10:15 p.
M., adjourned.
HOUSE.
Mr. Huribut, of Illinois, submitted
a proposition that by unanimous con
sent the reading of the journal be
waived, and a session until 5 o’clock
p. m. be given to the Committee
on Appropriations for consideration
sundry appropriation hills, and at
that hour tlie House take a recess
untill half-past seven o’clock, when
the bill reported by Mr. Coburn shall
bo before the House for debate only,
and a demand for previous questions
shall be considered seconded when
ordered by the House. Agreed to.
By unanimous consent a number
of bills were taken tip and passed.
The House t hen went, into Commit
tee of the. Whole on sundry eivii ap
propriation )>il Is.
At 5 p. rn. the House took a recess
until 7:30.
The House reassembled at 7:30.
The attendance was very slim, not
fifty members being present.
The House was called to order by
Mr. Lyner, of Inti., Speaker pro tern.
Mr. Coburn was recognized, but be
fore lie proceeded to address the
House,
Mr. Caldwell, of Alabama, asked
whether the bill was prepared before
or after the report.
Mr. Coburn Before the report.
Mr. Bromburg, of Alabama -Then
the report was made to suit the bill,
and not the bill to suit the report.
Mr. Coburn declined being further
intercepted, and proceeded. He de
fended the bill as only in the interest
of a full and fair vote, to prevent in
vasion and protect States from local
insurrection. He contended that
during the Brooks-Baxtcr contest in
Arkansas the State was invaded by
troops from Tennessee and Texas;
that there were armed men from
Texas at the Coushutta massacre;
and again, that men from Georgia
had invaded North Carolina and Ala
bama on election days, and that,
there had been numerous invasions
of a tike character.
After further debate the House, at
12:20 a. m., adjourned.
From Wlilnt<m.
Washington, February 26,-Quito a

for some time over tho Macon Post-
Ofllee. Five Moßirney, Jack Brown,
Glover and Bond are aspirants for

can to oust Belcher, the present in
cumbent. Though the light has been
going on some time, scarcely any pro
gress has been made towards moving
Belcher. A recent investigation made
by the Government agents into tho
| condition of the Macon Post-Office,
! does not furnish any ground of com
j plaint.
,T. E. Bryant, defeated Republican
candidate for Congress in the First
I Georgia district, lias been here for
some time working to oust General
MeLaws from the colloctorship of
that district; hut so far has made no
headway. Bryant lias been working
