The Georgia BlII-Mr. schur1 q
Condemns the Extremists.
As the discussion upon the Georgia bill
progresses the muadle becomes more con-
fused. Each additional speech but dis
closes another peculiar view of the case,
and each senator has his special premises
and reasoning to work out conclusion, the
Senate being apparently evenly divided
upon the question, Shall the Bingham
amendment be adopted
Senator Schurz this afternoon made one
of the ablest speeches of the session in
favor of the bill as it came from the House.
He Was listened to by the entire Senate
with notable interest throughout, and Mt
the close Of his argument was the recipient
of congratulations from nearly all of the
senator's, who made haste to take him by
the hand. Such was the power of his elo-
qucnce, the force of his logic, and the
rhetorical perfection of his speech, that it
commanded alike the admiration of those
who agreed as well rs those who disagreed
with Mr.. SEIZURE in opinion and sentiment
upon the subject under consideration.
Mr.. Schurz completely riddled the argu-
ment of Mr.. Morton, and made that most
radical of Radicals ridiculous in the eyes
of bis brother senators and unhappy in
himself. He showed that this senatorial
Samson, like the one of old, was shaking
the pillar that would bring down the edi-
| fec and crush him and his party in its
ruins. 1t was reconstruction falling to
pieces. He charged that this attempt Of
the adventurer Bullock and his party to
perpetuate themselves in Office was n
"gross, palpable, and fragrant usurpation,
and if Congress encourages, aids, or winces
at it, they are particeps criminis." He
was disguised with the preyarication OF
some Republican senators, and thought it
would be more manly in them to come out
squarely, as did Senator Wilson, and pro-
claim that, claw or no law, We intend to
hold the power in Georgia"
In his peroration Mr.. Schurz fairly
| reused his auditors to their feet, and warn
ed senators of the consequences of the at
tempted usurpation, and asked them if they
had considered what must be the fate of n
usurpcr with his foot upon the neck Of an
uuruly people; and he begged them not to
put aside the Constitution and all law, nor
| to descend to mean tricks and small de-
vices.
Such a thorough castigation as the ex-
tremists received at the hands of Mr..
Schurz has not occurred upon that floor
since they came III power, and they felt it
keenlcy, save his colleague, Drake, who.
like wild animal furious at the punches
he received, growled and CRASHED his teeth
and paved and roared at the rebels
and proposed an amendment providing
| that soldiers be quartered upon the
southerners, and that lcvics be made
upon them in sums Of one hundred TO one
thousand dollars piece, after the manner
of the Mexican banditti, but his PROPOSE
ton was called monstrous by Trumbull and
repuliatcd by others, and it will have the
votes Of none but Drake himself and such
small fry as Thaycr.
| Troops TO be Sent to Tennessee.
Mr.. Frank IIybcrgcr. Of the Governor :
staff, accompanied by Mr.. Fletcher, Secre-
tary of the State of Tennessee, to-day de-
livcrcd to the President the official note OF
Governor Scnter requesting the President
to send troops 70 Tennessee to quell the dis,
turhances in that State and enforce the
laws.
| The Governor states that he has called
upon the Legislature to organize the militia
but that lie has been refused, and that he
now asks, in accordance with the provisions
Of the Constitution, that national forces be
sent to aid him in maintaining order.
The President stated that he would com.
ply with the requisition. WALLACE.
