Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-01-30

and said Mr.. Doolittle was discourteous to
the Senate, and were on the eve OF stopping
him from further progress. but some of the
cooler Yankee Senator'S soon saw. that that
only made the matter worse, and, upon
motion. he was allowed to proceed. Il think
this will be called the great speech Of the
session. Mr.. TrumbulI tried to reply, in
rather bad humor, and failed tomakemueh
impression. So the faithful, deeming 1t
all-important to have something said to
moderate the ponderous blows of the Ser
iator from Wisconsin, rallied the next day
(Friday,, and Moxa Morton and buffoon
Nye let offtwo hours each of their old stump
speeches about liberty and equality in the
s'spread eagle" style, and the faithful, in
! ONE degree, were composed. But neither
these champions of Radicalism attempted
to answer the truth and logic Of Mr.. Doo-
little, nor can they. Morton seemed terri
bly, exercised when Doolittie quoted from
his speech in Indiana against negro suf-
irage and in favor of the policy of Presi-
lent johnson. It is quite evident here

ires looking to the early Authorization sol
he Southern States, and the admission ol
shis forced representation into this Con
gress, is only the most desperate of all .ths
outrageous measures of these desperate
men, because they know it is their last and
only hope of perpetuation of power. They
know they will not succeed in the Presi
dental election by the votes of the North
ern and Western States. They only hop,

>titutfonal proceeding in the South, an(

This bill, now before the Senate, viii
surely pass, though several Republican
Senators give unmistakable signs of balk-
ing in the harness, and opine before this
Congress adjourns several of the Senators
belonging to that party will eventually
kick out of the party harness altogether.
The question of the admission of Senator
Thomas, elect, from Maryland, is not ye1
decided. But he will get his seat.
The Presidential question here, as every
where else, excites good deal of interest
and various are the speculations. I think
It may be set down as fixed fact that Gen
Grant will be almost the unanimous choice
Of the Radicals. The Generals friends try
