HOUSE.
Mhi,tcmorc Chokcd off.

Tie galleries and corridors were
througed The Whittemore case was i'm
med.ately taken up.
Mr.. Logan, who had the floor, yielded to
Mr.. Whittemore, who in voice free from
tremor commenced to read his defense, but
was quickly interrupted by the Speaker,
who announced the receipt Of a communi-
cation from the gentleman, and conceived
it his duty to lay it before the House.
Mr.. Whittemore desired to recall it until
he finished his remarks, but the Speaker
declined to allow it, and the paper was
read as follows:
WASHINGTON, Feb. p, 1S70.-To Hon.
J. q. Blaine. Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives, Sir u inclose the following
communication, addressed by telegraph on
the 23d inst. to the Governor Of South
Carolina, resigning my seat In Congress,
and the telegram accepting the same;
please Law them before the House and
notify them that / am no longer a member
of mat body. Very respectfully yours,
CSigned) B. F. WHIrTENIORE.
Then followed copies of telegram to the
Governor resigning his seat, and telegram
from the Governor accepting the same,
both dated Feb. %. Whittemore rose
wl.n the Speaker stated it was not within
Il. province of the Chair to recognize any
| other than n member of the House; il
The judgment of House be that the gen
| tlcnan shall have its unanimous consent
to proceed, it will be for the House, not
| the Chair, so to determine.
Amid the discussion which followed, sew.
eral points Of order were made and over
ruled by the Speaker.
At his suggestion, finally an appeal was
made pro Tolu10 from the decision, by Mr.,
| Farnsworth, and was Immediately tabled
| on motion of Mr.. Cox
| Mr.. Dawes said it seemed to him'so dan
| gerous a precedent to be established. thai

wilIed it or not, that he desired to put his

opinion on record against it. The Con
stitution clothed the House with power t
punish member, but if member coulC
escape punishment by merely reslgnlng
whether the House willed it or not, all
power to control the House was at an end
MIR. Farnsworth with the consent of Mr.
Logan moved that the resolution of expul
sion be laid on the table. Agreed to with
out division.
Unanimous CenSure.
Mr.. Mungen again offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That B. F. Whittemore, mem.
Der from the 1st district of North Carolina,
did make appointments to the Military Acad-
envy at West Point, and to the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis, in violation of the law,
and that such appointments were infiu-
enced by pecuniary consideration, and
that his conduct in the premises has been
such as to show him unworthy seat in the
House of Representatives; therefore, it is
condemned as conduct unworthy a repre-
sentative of the people.
Mr.. Butler, of Mass, asked unanimous
consent that Mr.. Whittemore be heard on
that resolution.
Mr.. Morgan objected.
The resolution was then adopted unani-
mously-yeas 1S5, nays 0.

The House then went into Committee
Of the Whole on the Legislative Appro-
priation Bill. The session continued I'M
til O'Clock, when the Committee reported
the entire bill to the House, with all the
amendments, which were agreed to in
bulk, excepting that appropriating S91, 900
for the mint at Carson City, Nevada, and
that appropriating s14o, 900 for the Bureau
Of Education, on which separate votes
were asked.
Without disposing of these the House
adjourned.

part of the Senate, be appointed with full

and injure them; a Convention to re
move such barriers as exist in the State
Constitution in the way of their partisan
designs. This Convention was called by
an Legitimate Legislature without either
law or precedent, but in ayOwed viola
ton of both. Its practical object is to
| eject from office the present loyal judi
ciary and to seize upon all offices now
| held by Union men. In one breath they
say that elections are too common, so
they propose to take the election of
Judges from the people and give it to the
Legislature. In the next they say that
no office ought to be held without a vote
of the people, so they propose to give
the election of the heads of the depart
ments to the people. Each party has a
majority, because that course results in
vacating the offices aid filling them with
Rebels.
You are no doubt appraised of the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature. They have
not had time to perfect all their schemes,
but they have repealed every law intended
to protect Union men and to elevate the
colored man. They have called Con-
VentiOn. They have repealed the school
law because it gave school laws to eolored
children. They have matured measures
amounting to reputation because our
bonds are held by Northern men who set
free our negroes and rayaged our country.
CIhis reason was actually given in debate,
which by request was not reported
They have practically changed the rela-
ton of landlord and tenant to that of
master and slave. They require tie ne
gro to vote under the eye of his master or
employer, and forbid him under heavy
penalty from walking out of the highway.
Many other kindred measures are pending.
They practice the arts of hypocrisy to
perfection. There is not man among
them except the twelve Republicans but
believes the negro ought to be disfran-
chlsed and reduced to slavery or killed;
and yet they will with flourish give him
the right of suffrage in the proposed Con-
stitution. They sOlemnly disclaim repudi-
alton, and go on to reduce the revenue
and refuse all provision for the State debt,
and actually repudiate by non-action.
They curse Congress, aside, with clenched
teeth, but object to the reading of a letter
in Convention that reflects upon Con-
gress.
But l must conclude. The result of
five years study of and participation in
Tennessee affairs is as follows:
l. The hostilities of Tennessee Rebels
to cOlored people as free people, ard to-
ward Union men as late belligerent enc
mics, is such that the latter will be de-
strOyed by being left within the power of
the former
2. The General Government must 9th
er abandon It's friends in Tennessee, white
and cOlOred, to a wretched fate, or it must
take them under its immediate and direct
protection.
3. To this end the State will have to be
reduced to a territorial condition, and the
protective power of the Government
brought to the doors Of the classes pro
tected.
4. If the latter is impossible, the whole
loyal population must quit the State.
Most respectfully,
A. J. FLETCHER.

Speaker interrupted, TO have read com
munication from Mr. Whittemore, inclos-
ing his resignation to the Governor Of
South Carolina, and a telegram accepting
the same.
Mr. Whittemore, in his remarks pre-
pared for delivery in the House, expressed
the belief that a large number of cases are
to be discovered where corrupt motives
and causes influenced appointments. The
eagerness of the press TO find sensational
matter would bring it to public gaze
