Senator Thurman.

The recent speech of this gentleman,
in the Senate, on the Ku Klux bill, is
thus commented upon by correspon
dent:
AS legal argument it seems to he
almost unsurpassed He fairly riddltd
the first and second sections, and said
that they would prove SO obnoxious to
the people that taey would be q dead
letter on the statute hook. He main
tanned, therefore,, that the third and
fourth sections were really all that there
was in this bill, and if it WAS not for
them it would be dropped Immediately
These sections gave to the President OF
the United States a power which wQs
possessed by only two monarchs in the
world, the Gar of Russia and the Sui
tan Of Turkey. Under these sections
the President can of his own will de
clare war against the people OF any State
! in this Union. Such ALI idea as this wal
unknown to The trainers of our Consti
tuition. To give to the President, aIt

this power, said MIR. Thurman, to ru
in his hands absolute control over th
elections, is the destruction of the coun
try. emay not OILY shipwreck m
own fame, but shipwreck the very lit
critics of this country, when this discre
ton is given TO the President to suspen
the writ OF habeas corpus. He shove
that the power to suspend the writ va
i a legislative power. and could not b
delegated, and argument on this poin
was not necessary. He agreed with IN
Senator from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull
that the question now before us is,wheti
