HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Gen. CLlNCH, of Ga, appeared in the House,
and was duly sworn to support the Constitution OF
the United States
Mr.. FRENCH, of KY. took the floor in con-
tinuance OF the debate upon the general ticket
election. Mr. F. expressed himself as entirely
convinced ia his own mind, of the right of the
members from the four States to their seats, but
his remarks were made in SO low tone that, from
our position, we could not hear them.
Mr.. VlNTON, Of Ohio, followed. He could
not sit in silence and see solemn act of Con-
gress.violated. Twenty-Five States of this Union
had complied with the law under discussion, and
divided themselves into dstrcts--these States
sent here two hundred and two members Four
States had not complied with it, and sent twenty
one members. The whole question before Us
was, whether the law of the last Congress was
vaid-if so, undoubtedly the States were hound
to obey it. Mr.. V. then proceeded to examine
this point, and to answer the objections of those
who urged that the law was invalid, because il
did not preclude legislation by the States as to the
time, manner, and place Of eecting members o.
Congress. Mr.. Douglass (the author of the re-
porD explained two or three times what he meant;
one OF his explanations was that Congress might
legisate as to either of the incidents, time, man
ner. or place, without legislating upon the others;
but, i; it did so, it was bound to legislae upon
it that there should be no legislation left for the
State upon the same polnt-taillng this, the law
was invalid.
Mr. VlNrON proceeded to show the absurditv
OF this POSITION, lnasmuch as Congress, having
entire power to legisate upon the subject, might
use the whole part of its authority. 1t had the
power to alter Stale laws, whatever there were.
A law might be invalid too. without being un-
constitutional. 1t was a non so9uHnr, to say, thai
because the law did mol cover The whole ground,
and do every thing that was required. it was un-
constitutional to the provisions it did enact.
The States were bound TO obey as far as they
could, and there was no doubt OF their ability 10
obey he provisions OF the act OF Congress under
consideration. The Legislation Of the States
overrued, aud set aside To the ex ent OF The Con-
gres,lonal leglsaton, and no further. The law
passed here was in pursuance OF that general code
OF legislation appropriate To the subject. aud
binding upon those called upon t. execute il.
Mr.. BLACK, OF Ga, considered the question
as more than one OF privilege it uvulscd the
right OF twenly-one members TO Their seats on
this floor. II the question was merely personal
to hnnseIt, he should remain personal spectator
but Was something more than This.

TWENTY.ElGHrHS CONGRESS,
FIRST SEES SION.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1874.
SENATE.
FRENCH SPOLIATlONS.

FRENCH LIATlONS.
Mr.. FAIRFIELD presented resolutions Of the
Legislature of Maine on this subject, invoking
Congress no longer to delay doing justice TO The
claimants. Mr.. f. said this was the third time
the Legislature of his State had expressed SINH
lar views to those contained in these resolutions,
and he hoped 10 be pardoned for delaying the
Senate with few remarks OF his own in the
premises.
senled to Congress by The claimants for indem
nifty, there had been eighteen reports made, and
only Two Of them unfavorable Among those
who had made favorable reports he might name
Messrs. Giles of Virginia, Livingston, of Louisi-
ana, and Holmes, of Maine. In 1884 the Senate
passed bill, appropriating $5,000,O00 for the
settlement of these claims, but here the matter
ended Was this justice?
Ii was said in one of the untavorable reports
that The claims were old, and the original grev-
ance was thus sofened; now he, Mr.. F.. knew
many of the claimants in his State, and knew
them to be smarting under the injustice Of Con-
gress-instead Of their grievances being sooihed,
they were aggravated, by time
These claims accrued between the years 1893
and 1900 and during that period from SIX 10
seven hundred American vessels, with their car
goes, estimated at value of $l5,000,0O0, were
seized, and The proceeds cast into the French
treasury.
llhad been said that many of these claims
were bought up by speculators--how this might
be elsewhere lie could not say, but he did not
know Of single instance of il in Maine.
The Senator then went into close historical
examination Of the subject, to show the incon-
teslable rights Of The claimants.

published in such form that they may have gen
eral circulation.
MIR. HENDERSON gave notice of bill TO

Mr.. ALLEN again gave notice that he should
call up this bill "to-morrow."
THE TARIFF.
Mr.. HUNTINGTON continued the debate on
this subject. His argument was based upon
facts, and showed great skill and research He
replied chiefly to the speech Of Mr.. Z, oodbury
who had complained of the g bill OF abomna
tom as expressing the commerce of his State
Mr. H.. allowed that MIR. w. might speak for
agriculture, but he showed that, in commercial
point of view, New Hampshire had not much TO
complain Of any way.
Before Mr.. H. concluded his speech, he gave
way 10 motion that the Senate should adjourn.
