Speech of Hon. Mr. Holmes, of
New York.

Mr.. Holmes addressed the House on the
question Of the reconstruction Of the rebel
States, advocating the course of Congress as
against shat of the President, who, he said
had successfully met the opposition (the
Democratic party,) but could not outlive its
political support. He did not on the whole
regret the course that had been taken by the
President, because it gave to the people Of
the Southern States an opportunity to show
to the world what they would do if they
were again entrusted with unrestricted pow
er. If they had permitted loyal men to 60
to the polls, then Congress might have been
deceived. Now Congress had no excuse for
shutting its eyes against evidences of disloy-
atty so apparent as that he who runs might
read. The President had labored patriot-
catly and earnestly to bring about a better
state of affairs, but his labors had not been
blessed in any very great degree.
The seed he had scattered had fallen on
stony ground, and had produced a very in
considerable crop of loyalty. Who was to
determine whether the impaired vitality and
suspended functions of the Southern States,
which the President had spoken of in his
message to Congress, were not restored ?
| Had Congress nothing to do with it, except
to pass. each House for itself, on the certf-
Gates of election of members claiming seats
in such House? In his judgment the deci-
sion of that question rested with the law
making power, and required the sanction
and assent of the entire law-making power
of the Government No other way could
the rule be uniform. Separate and indie
pendent action might leave one rule prevail
ing in this House, another rule in the Sen
ate and Still another with the Executive
Department.
The Southern States were entitled to full
and absolute recognition 10y each of the de-
partments of the Government, or else they
were not entitled to recognition by either
If asked when these States should be ad
mitted to representation on this floor, his
answer would be, when their governments
are republican and their people loyal, and
when they send loyal men to represent them
There should be not only loyal representa-.
tives but loyal constituencies behind them
and no person should, with his consent ever
hold office under the Government of the
United States who had in any way volantar-
lily aided the rebellion.

PERSONAL.
CIkcINNATI, May 18th, 1866.

OlAclNNATI, may 10Th, 1900.
Mr.. Editor In your issue of las
week | noticed card from Louis,
Turner" which refers to her being di
Vorced from me. and states that | have
annoyed her.. and attempted to scatter
discord among the children. Now, it il
not my purpose to lay before the public
the difficulty which has existed between
myself and the said Louisa Turner, be-
cause | do not think it proper or neces-
sary. | will say, however, that the
statements contained in her card, are
false from beginning to end. | have
always, as those who know me best will
willingly testify, treated my family kindly
providing for all of their real wants,
and great many which were imaginary
1t was my custom, before | same to this
city, to have family prayer in my house
regularly; in other words tried to bring
ICY family up to love and serve God.
After reaching this city, my wife
formed the acquaintance of number of
persons, who are Numerous in large city
like this, who take pleasure in destroying
the happiness of families. Ny wife
being poor weak minded woman, and
easily misled, soon fell prey to them,
and became changed person. Nothing
that | could do pleased her finally, I'M
der the influence of the persons referred
to above, she sued me for alimony, and
was granted divorce and one-third of
my effects. Since the divorce was grant
ed, have not inter fered with her in any
way | felt as though all connection be-
tween myself and her had been severed,
and make it poiat, having paid over
to her one-third of my effects, to keep
away from her,
One Of the charges which is preferred
against me is, that | have "sued my only
daughter, four years old, to take away
from it the only bed, given the child by
its grandmother" The facts in the case
are these: My mother, an old lady,
seventy-fve years of age died about two
mo this ago. During her sickness, which
was of short duration, Louisa Turner and
others got around her and told her all
kinds of tales about me, and persuaded
her to will her effects, not to me, her
lawful heir, but to her grandchildren.
The old lady, being feeble and in dotage,
acquiesced in what was said and a docu-
ment was drawn up as her will
Knowing that an advantage had been
taken of mother, entered suit for my
rights. This is what Louisa Turner calls
suing, C. to take the only bed given the
child by its grandmother" There are
many other things which | might men
tlon in this connection, but forbear.
1t strikes me as being remarI ably
strange, that woman should, after hav-
ing received a divorce and one-third of
her husbands property, then publish
him in widely circulated paper, as a
wicked, outrageous, and abominable man,
still cling to his name. as she does to
mine. Isaac Turner.
