that. Cries from the Democratic side, good,
good. Let us adjourn.
Mr.. Clark was willing to give way for that
purpose.
Mr. Stanton thought thisline ofdiscussion
would be much more appropriate and better
managed if the House were organized by
election of presiding officers.
Mr.. Washburn of Maine arose to question
but Mr.. Clark proposed to go on with his re-
marks unless some gentleman wished to
move to adjourn.
Mr. Stevens. | hope the House will not
adjourn; these things must come out. A
voice, you're right
Mr. Stanton. see no good to be accom-
plshed by remaining here unless we proceed
to vote. | take on myself the responsibility
to move that the House adjourn. Negatived
by 2 majority.
Mr. Vallandigham remarked some demo-
Gratis were absent; three of them might be
here tomorrow therefore he voted aye.
| Mr.. Clark resumed, but in tone not alto
gether audible He wished to show why the
resolution ought to pass, and to present to the
American people the position of certain gen
temen occupied as regards the Speakership.
Heretofore the people were divided as Demo
Gratis and Wings, there were conservative
and American citizens who advocated insur-
rection, robbery and disunion. No party
since this government has had history,
however fond of power, has had until now
so much disregard to the popular will as to
send forth to the country at large a docu-
ment advising the dlsfranchisement and muir
dering of a large portion of the people.
Kilgore, of Indiana explained and was un-
derstood as saying he CONDEMNED as strongly
as the gentleman from Missouri possibly
could, the avowa! of such sentiments.
WASHINGTON, Dec. GIVE have the pro-
ceedings of this day in both Houses of Con-
gress, but nothing was done but continue
the discussion of Mr. Clark's resolution in
the House, and Mr.. Mason's in the Senate.

OF TIE CITIZENS OF THE PAnisi OF ASCENSION.
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatves Of the State of louisiana in General
/ Assembly convened
THE undersigned, residents and occupants on
the Houmas Lands, petition your honorable
bodies that
| WHEREAS Il Bill was introduced at the last
session Of Congress, and near its termination,
by Senator OF the United States Senate under
the title cf u Bill for the settlement of pri.
vatc land claims in the State Of Missouri and
other purposes" under which, with great tact
subtlcty, II clanSG was Incorporated and made
part Of the bill, declaring that all land claims
in the Territory Of Orleans, reported favorably
on by the Commissioner Grimes, Robertson,
etc, shall be valid
| That in Congress this bill was passed through
both Houses, and became o law. That the
operation of this bill is ruinous to your petition
erS, in rendering claims valid which are in re-
aity fictitious. and which the claimants have
for the last half century been striving. and in
all instances have failed, to sustain. In proof
Of which our Courts have decided the case en-
titled Minor vs. Tilatson, instituted 1921 or
'2s, and decided against the alleged Houma
Claim
Of patent fraudulently obtained by the heirs
Of Wade Hampton, sued in the Circuit Court
Of the United States, Fifth District of Louisi-
ana, which suit was brought by virtue of n re-
solution of Congress passed 26th June, 1916,
and decided IN 1852, Judgment decreeing that
the patent he annulled,, having been obtained
under fraudulent prctcnSions
That your petitioners would have been sat
iSlied ifin the place Of obtaining, through the
ntefmcdiation Of Congress, where our rights
and interests could not be understood, appre-
ciatcd and judged BY the majority of its mem
bers, they being almost strangers to the justice
OF our cause, as were members ofour own State,
who were probably the aHthofs of tits LiW if
pretrnders to these claims had trusted to f.
nal decision Of their prctensions By our Courts
Of Justice, where they were III suit ut the very
time of bringing in this bill into Congress
That this bill contcmplatcs the eviction OF
at least five hundred electors, residents and oc-
cnpants of the lIouma Lands, rcducieg us, our
wives and children to the greatest misery, and
dcpriyng us Of the profits we are beginning to
enjoy after many years Of toll and priyation
We therefore petition yoar honorable body to
lcgisatc III this matter. III such manner as you
may best DO to secure justice to your petition
crS, and obtain Il repeal Of this iniquitous bill,
to memorable our Senator's and Representa-
tives in the Congress of the United States on
the subject, with I'LL necessary Instructions and
to request the Governor of our State to for
ward them on with the least possible delay.

A COMPLIMENT TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Mr., Washburnc of Maine, one of the leading
and most noted Republicans in the House OF
Representatives, i'll his late violent and section
al speeches, passed the following compliment
to the Democratic party. lie said:
Q Let us, Mr. Chairman, learn wisdom from
our opponents. Look at the Democratic par
ty and note its policy 1t has held possession
Of the Government, with short interruptions,
for more than a quarter Of century; not be
cause it has been always earncstand has dared
to trust itself. 1t has never paid court to its
opponents or stopped to speculate upon their
weaknesses and divisions always bold and un-
compromising, it has never doubted its OWE
suliciency and inyincibility, and so it has ever
been mighty power in the land
Mr.. Washburne, with all his bitterness
against it, had to confess that no other polit-
cal organization stood by its principles 50 brave
~ and unfinchingly as the Democratic party.

which we are Of opinion does Texas great in.
Justice.
In speaking Of the Cotton lands Of the South,
it does not refer TO Texas in any manner. Now
Texas possesses scope Of country, running
from the 9th parallel to the 35th, and extend
ing from the Sabine to the Rio Graudc, which
for Cotton, is unsurpassed in the world And
in Texas the producer is not liable to be troub.
led, aS the article in question seems to infer
planters from of the Mississippi Red and Ar
kansas Rivers are, by the soil becoming ex-
hauSted. In Texas our soil extends various
depths, from two TO twenty feet, and no soil OF
such depth can be exhausted by cultivation.
Good judges have estimated that Texas alone
is capable Of producing 100000 bales of
cotton annually. We think therefore, that the
planter will not require TO go to Africa, India
or South America TO produce; let i'm come to
Texas, when he finds his soil exhausted, ana
our word for it, he will not be disappointed
The southern States can always supply the de
mand, if our planters will only awaken to the
Importance of properly cultiyoting their home
