bill changing the judicial districts as recently

the same district with Ohio. The secret of the

inserted amounting to provision that the Pres
ident selecting and arming negroes may preclude

The House il committee of the whole was in

and Richardson signalized himself By trying to
revive the bullying style of debate, which 1t was
hoped had gone out with his friends OF the South

statements Richardson had made about the sup
port Of contrsbands by the government Mf.

MES it, with stating falsehood."
Mr.. Bake-"I charge the gentleman from IL

unfounded I am ready TO back that up"
