of Wade.
Mr. DoOlittle wished that the oiyil rights bill
could be placed in charge of the Judiciary Com

HOUSE PRoCEEDINGS--NEw YORK CONTESTED ELEC
...... TToS CASE
At the termination Of the morning hour the
House resumed the consideration Of the contested
ELECTION case of Dodge against Brooks from the
Eighth Congressional District of New York. Mr.
Brooks resumed his argument, an additional hour
being granted him.
He appealed to the Republican side of the
House for justice, and felt confident that if the
members could understand and comprehend the
case, they would do him Justice He addressed
himself to their justice alone, and that lie
demanded that the contestant should have come
here with clean hands and clear heart but yet
he came with his hands soied with corruption,
polluted by pigmies and villains. The contestant
had expended $4,000 for corrupt purposes, while
there was no allegation that he (Brooks) had spent
cent on his election. He was no professor of
religion, but he (N[r. Dodge) was and yet Mr..
Dodge made corrupt bargain on.the Sabbath day
with the Tanmapy hail candidate.
II he did not do it himself, he did it through his
friends Cowdon and Canon also professors of re
ligion, and he paid the money, $1,000, which Barr
had received for running against him (Brooks.)
He appealed to the honorable gentlemen of all
parties to do him justice. If he was to be thrown
out, he would say to his Democratic associates, be
content; the blood of the martyrs is the seed of
the church. He appealed to his Republican asso-
ciates, With whom he had been connected here
some years in service, from his own native State
Of Maine, and from Massachusetts. If the honor
able gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr.. Stevens
We're within the sound OF his voice and was really
the government of this country, he should not ap-
peal to his mercy he should hardly dare appeal TO
be gained by his party in the exchange Of one spe-
cies OF copperhead for another. Nothing would
be gained by such an exchange.
Alter Mr. Brooks concluded, Mr.. Dawes sus-
tanned the report Of the committee. The latter
was Interrupted several times by Messrs. Marshall
and Brooks the latter being called to order by the
Speaker in one instance.
The amendments were voted down, and Mr.
Brooks declared not entitled to his Aseat by vote
to the seat by a vote Of Y to 81. The oath was
adminfstered'to Mr. Dodge, and lie took his seat.
