State of Georaia, If occasion should arise, re-
publican form CT government. 1t was not
power, he Omitted which should be eXer-
cistd without due cause, but it was power as
Clear and as incumbent on the United States
as any other power existing in the government.
1t was question of fact whether occasion ex-
listed for the exercise of it in relation to Geor-
gia, or would ever exist in relation to Wiscon-
sin or Massachusetts,. But Congress, on which
the obligation rested for the exercise of that
power, was to judge of the occasion. For his
own part he believed yesterday that the occa-
sion existed for the exercise of that power in
relation to Georgia, and the vote which he had
gwen rested solely on that power in the con-
stitution.
Mr.. Sargent of California addressed the COM

marks IN support of his bill requiring pension

The committee rose, and the following bills
were introduced and REFEREED:
BY MIR. Stevenson of Ohio, to amend the in
ternal revenue laws by repeating the clause al
lowing street railway companies to add the gov
eminent tax to the fare of passengers; also to
amend the same law by repeating the clause
