MARTIN WELKER,

Let all opposed to forcing negro
suffrage on the States, Ohio included
remember that Martin Welker voted
for negro suffrage in the District OF
Columbia, and thereby made it q
Mecca for negro emigration.
Let it be remembered that Martin
Welker voted for enfranchising the
negroes of the Southern States, and is
in favor of giving the negroes and car.
pet-baggers supreme authority over
the white people of those unfortun-
ate states contrary to their wishes.
Let it be remembered that Martin
Welker voted to place negroes on an
equality with tue white races in Ohio,
and that he Is pledged, notwithstand-
ing negro suffrage in Ohio was de-
feated by a majority of over fifty
thousand, to force it upon our people
should Grant and Colfax be elected.
Let it be remembered that Martin
Welker is in favor of compelling
white laborers in Ohio to work hard.
er and longer each day in the year, TO
feed the indolent, idle, ignorant and
besotted negroes down South. as well
as the corrupt and intriguing scound-
rels who are running the negro bu-
e and eating out the substance of
our people.
Let it be remembered that Martin
Welker refused to vote against the
increase of his own salary $4,000 a
year; and that he has receipted for
the same, and has thus robbed the
people of $4,000 which he told them,
he would not receive, and had no
right to have.
Let it be remembered that Martin
Welker voted for that stupendous
fraud upon the people, the Funding
Bill" SO called, which proposes to
convert seventeen hundred mill ms of
800 bonds payable in the lawful cur
rency of the country, into gold bonds
running thirty and forty years at Al
and 5 per cent. interest, also payable
in coin ; and thus compelling the peo-
Pile to pay over four thousand mil
lions of dollars in interest, and seven
teen hundred millions in coin, prin-
,ipal, besides!
Let it be remembered that Martin
Welker also voted to give to rotten
corporate monopolies millions ofacres
# the public lands which should have
,een preserved for actual settlers and
or public revenue.
Remember that if you do not de-
ire these outrages to be continued, it
your imperative duty to vote against
heir author and in favor of reform in
these things. Vote against Mar

"Any people anywhere, being incliD.

MT. Morgan asked Mr.. Bingham whether
Wooley had been refused the privilege of con-
sulting with his counsel.
MIR. Bingham declined to answer until ne had
leave from his colleague, but after several more
votes, at ~ o'clock, made statement that
no such refusal had been made.
The Speaker stated that the Sergeant-at-
Arms had asked him if Wooey could have ac-
cess to his counsel and he replied in the affirm
alive, and at any time.
Mr.. Bingham asked to have the vote taken
on the resolution before the House, and then
have the other resolution Observation-Disclosures
to be to commit Wooley to close confinement
go over until tom PROV.
Mr.; Highly objected and persisted in objec-
tlon despite the remonstrance of the Republic
cans, who. urged that there was no condition
embraced in the proposition.
The Sergeant-at-Arms had several times
within the last two hours brought in absent
members, and quorum was obtained at about
ten, and Mr.. Burrs motion to lay Mr.. Bing-
hams resolution on the table having been neg
atived, % against SO, the resolution was adopt

Mr.. Bingham then proposed to offer the sec
ond resolution in order that it might be passed

taken at o'clock.
The resolution directs Wooley to be kept in

THE SCHOOL INVESTIGATION

NEW ORLEANS, May 28.-The committee of
Investigation into the charges of the presence
of twenty-nine colored children in The white
schools of the third district, reported to the
School Board last evening. Twelve of the
scholars reported as colored have been with
drawn from the school, nine proved white, two
were refused admission, and six neglected to
furnish the required evidence of guilt. The
matter has been referred back to the investi-
eating committee, with power to act. All
children OF known mixed blood will be requir-
ed to attend schools for colored children.
