organization should not be received.
Drake, of Missouri, claimed illimita-
bic power by the Constitution. Davi.
replied bal Congress had no discre.

atots and Representatives 10 which q
State is entitled, for the Constitution
explicitly fixes the number. lie con.
cludcd by saying that the ides Of
March would see the funeral OF the
Republican party. Nye, of Nevada,
got up next, and appeared to be very
much alarmed about seeing Wade
Hampton and Bedford Forrest at the
New York Convention and wanted
the pencil of Hogarth to depict what
he had seen. Davis reminded the
Nevada Senator, that no matter how
a rebels hand may be reeking with
the blood of Union soldiers, the Rad
ical party is willing to receive him
as soon as be protested repentance.
In the House, old Boutwell,
branched in the political field, claim
ing all that was good and pure and
patriotic for the Radical party, and
disappearing and classifying the
position Of the Democracy. This
brought Messrs. Eldridge, Brooks and
Marshall to their feet, who exposed
the false Misrepresentation, and ut
terly demolished the nefarious charges,
clearly demonstrating the fact that
Radicalism confessed the wal against
the South a failure. Mr.. Beck rose
and showed that the purpose of the
bill was to perpetuate the lease Of
Radical power. II was framed in a
spirit of fear engendered by the result
of the election in Mississippi. BY
bill the Congress reserves the
to decide for itself whether a
State has been properly reconstructed
and Mr.. Beck charged that after the
next election, when Congress came to
count the electoral vote, if the Radi-
majority found that the majority
of electoral votes was given to the
Democratic party by the vote Of any
one of the Southern States, they
would under this bill declare that
that State had not formed its State
government in accordance with the
reconstruction laws. The saving
which exempted from the
provisions of the bill any State re-
presented in Congress on the fourth
Of March, 1867, was put there for
the benefit Of the State Of Tennessee,
for under Brownlow's tyrannical rule
that State is supposed to be assured
to the Republican party. Boutwell,,
Schenk, Stevens and Butler, brought
in some blank cartridges; abused the
Democracy ; howled over Blair's let
ter /; endeavored to make a fine point
by abiding to Hampton and Forrest,
services to the Confederaoy. The
debate took a very wide range, and
on the Radical side was made up en-.
tirely OF misrepresentation and a fire.,
use Of billingsgate. II showed thai
in Congress the Presidential line
are already drawn, and enables tn,
public to make a very fair estimate o
the campaign argument" Of th,
Radical party. The Democrats cam,
out with flying colors rs they will d,
when the votes are counted after th,
November electiou.-K. Times.
