like to inquire f the Senator from

courts. Too officers ail over the
Stau-, i tom t he (governor down to the

an I if they could not punish viola

fession for tile Senator to make.

If there were urouuds to believe tint'
he was not ipialt died, llieu t he Senate
could sit ivs julges; hut until tiia
ti m- no net iou eoul I In* taken. Wuen
before lu the History of this country
di I the Sena e of liie United States
propose to take testimony in regard
to ihe elect ion of members of the
other H >use ot Congress, ns this res
olu. iou proposed to do? Che Const t
tu imt provi h-s that each Hons
snail lie the judge of t lie oualilica
tioas of its own memhers. ’Cm-Gov
ernor of Mississippi asked for Feder
al tr nips, lufore the eleetion, b> keep
the people of that S*an- in awe.
The eorivsi olicit her- between him
and the heal of the Department oi
Juntil-e wis known to ail. Gov.
Ames faiii-d to snow that anv cans
existed for Feiirai interference.
Mr. Bayard then reietrea to the lu.e
m -ssage of tlie President and said
there was not one word in it abou
Southern affairs. Cue Department
Oi Justice hud its agents down there,
gathering information for the guid
nin e of that Department, yet from
that Department there was not one
word or suggestion as to these alleg
ei wrongs. If these things existed
there it w-as remarkable that the
President of 'lie United States main
tained a dead silence on the subject.
All this matter came from the Sena
tor from Indiana, who always scent
ed to have in his possession state
ments hostile to I lie |n*aee of the
Soiithern States,and some associates
without diameter, against till* whole
people of thut country. This was
revolutionary. It was hut another
step in the march towards the
cons ilidation of power, which the
people of this country tnnM
see. This was tin* first time that the
Senate of the United States sought t"
take testimony concerning the elec
tion ef members in the other House
of Congress at the time these South
ern people were found helpless and
blee ling at the foot of ttie Senator
from Indiana, mid his party,' tli.-

when the time was to couie that the

hogsheads of sugar, aud 600 barrels
of molasses, of which but 160 bales of
