DIR. Morton (interrupting) TO mis-

phasis)-"One who would represent
her." The State of Indiana having
elected a Democratic Legislature
would have the right to repfescnt by u
Democrat whenever vacancy occur
rtd in her senatorial representation.
Had the gentleman (Morton) gone
abroad, he would have learned there
that when popular sentiment condelp-
ned any man or measure, the ministry
nc once laid down their arms but in
hrs (Morton's) case that seemed to be
made the very reason for holding on
10 Office. Following that Senator's
example. he (BIair) proposed to state
some matters connected with the hiss
tory of The ratification Of The plleenth
amendment. he then arraigned the
Republican party for iufdelity to its
professions before the people in regard
to the principle Of the fifteenth amend
ment. After carrying Presidential
election upon the representation held
out by tho hicago platform, that ne
gro suffrage was entirely matter with.
in the control Of the States, that party,
at the ensuing session Of Congress, had
forced the principles upon the country
in the fifteenth amendment \ pr0posi
ton TO submit the question to the
State Legislatures thereafter to be
elected was voted down. The ; majors
and Representatives from the Safes Of
Missouri, Kansas, Michigan New York,
and Ohio voted for that amendment.
although the people ofthose States had.
by immense majoritir<; ranging from
10000 to 10000. rejected negro suf
frage at the election Just preceding.
The Legislatures throughout the coun.
try, elected prior to the submission of
the amendment, ratified it without re
gard 10 the protests of their consiisu
enig.

express company, one of the creditors, against
the appointment, in this state, of the same as
signeeS of the Boston, Hartford and Erie rail-

Mr.. Nback opposed the senate amendment,
and discussed The political questions connected
with the new territorial government for the
District of Columbia, accusing the president of
appointing, as members of the council, none
but members of the dominant party. The APP
pointment of Gov. Cooke had been recognized
by the whole country as excellent, but even
Gov. Cooke had recently entered a convention
of small, contemplate ward politicians, and had
gone down in the dust like worm and crawled,
for the purpose Of ingratiating himself In their
favor.
Mr., Randall suggested that Gov. Cooke had
had favors enough from the government to in
duce him to crawl anywhere. Laughter.
Mr.. Niblack said everything done or at
tempted by congress during the present session

party standard ever set up in the country. In
this connection, he referred to the effect of the
presidents special message on southern out
RACES, in inducing republicans to vote for the
kukluX bill who, at first, resolved not TO do so.
In reference to the Appropriation for promoting
civil service reform, he criticised severely the
action of the president in forcing the resignation
of Secretary Cox, because he had striveu to de.
fend his clerks from political assessments, and
said it was suprcmey ridiculous to appropriate
money for this administration, to be used for
promoting civil service reform.

the house proceeded to vote on the amend
ments.

agreed to, with proviso that no person be en-
titled to draw q salary as member of the board

charge of duties of any office under the govern
ment of the United States.
Amendments appropriating fifteen thousand
dollars for the expense of the Sutro tunnel COM
mission, and twenty thousand for testing the
sea coast rifled gun were offered ,lbut ruled out
of order, and, without proceeding further on the
bill, the house adjourned.
