water, and beddeG well. When cattle are

10 the PO0nle of the Country.

The address of the Democratic Con-
greasmen to tho people of the couEry
has been issued, and is signed by four
teen Senators and ninoty-fyo members
of the House. From the concluding
portion of the address the following is
an extract t
Everything that malicious ingenuity
could suggest, has been done to %irritate
the people OF the Middle and Southern
States. Gross and exaggerated charges
of disorder and violence owe their origin
to the miscellaneous minds of potential
managers in the Senate and House
representations to which the Executive
has, we regret to say, lent his aid, and
thus helped to inhaIne the popular feel
ing in all this course of hostile legisla-
ton and harsh resentment. No word of
Cancellation, Of kind encouragement, or
fraternal fellowship has ever been spoken
by the President or Congress to the
people of the Southern States j.; they
have been addressed only iii the IAN
guage of prescription. We earnestly
cntreat our fellow-citizens in I'LL parts Of
tho Union to spare no efforts to main
tain peace and order, and to carefully
protect the rights of every citizen, and
to preserve kindly relations among all
men, and to discountenance and dis
courage any violations of the rights Of
any portion of the people secured under
the Constitution, or any of its amend
mcnts, etc.
In conclusion, we earnestly beg of you
not to aid the present attempts of Radi-
cal partisans to stir up strife in the land,
to renew the issues OF war, OF to obstruct
the return of peace and prosperity to
the Southern States, because it is thus
that they seekto divert the attention of
the country from the corruption and
extravaganza in their administration of
public affairs and the dangerous and
profigate attempt they arc making to-
wards the creation of centralized mill
tary government.

of Davis: Beck asked and obtained
leave to make n statement on behalf of
the Senator from Kentucky, whole said
had been so foully denounced by the
member from Massachusetts. That Sen
ator and that member had had a contro-
vorsy on the floor OF the Senate.
Butler interrupting-Ah, no, L had no
controversy with him.
Deck-The Senator denounced the
member in the Senate as II id scoun-
drel! and I would characterize that as a
controversy. Laughter They had a
quarrel on the floor of the Senate, and it
ought to have ended there, and would
have ended there but for the fact that
the member from Massachusetts saw fit
to come on the floor of the House and
use language grossly offensive to the
Senator from Kentucky, and it was after
that the Senator had pronounced the
speech which had been quoted by the
member-Jhe member from Massachu-
sets. II lie had q personal explanation
to make he should have made it at once,
but he had waited until last Tuesday,
the day that Congress, was to adjourn,
and then asked leave to make it, having
sent printed slips Of it in advance to
Boston and to the New York Herald,
knowing that the Senator would have
let the city before he could have seen it
in print. Therefore 1 objected because
it had been held up SO long and not be-
cause l did not wa 1t to give. the gentle
man a chance Of replication.
Butler, intelrupting-The reason Civ
en- by the gentleman was that he would
not let me speak so long as the indict-
ment against his State was continued.

reply to that indictment, l would have

he never did, wilfully, tell n lie, and no

When the member said that the Senator
was shielded by his age, and thathe did
not seek the proper redress, l have only
to say, that while my Senator is neither
a bully nor a b~hckguard, the member
can get any redress from him that he

1t lies in the mouth OF the member from
Massachusetts to talk about my Senator
being shielded by his age, ornot seeking
proper redress. l have witnessed scenes
with that member which satisfied me
that he would not seek the redress to
which healludes. Laughter. Hedoes

of the most convincing and telling
speeches that has yet been heard in that
body, on the subject of the so-callod XII
Klux outrages which are being charged
against the people, as well OF his district
us Of the whole South. He character
lied the stories us the basost f~abrications
and caused letters to be read by the
clerk from many of the best citizens of
Tennessee, proving his assertions. Mr..
Yaughn's speech WAS listened to with
the most rapt attention, and is believed

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
Republican says THE Ku-lllux bill
has passed the Senate. In taking this
step the Republican party has assumed
an immense responsibility. 1t has given
to the Federal Government an extent of
authority with which it has never been
trusted before. In the hands of a man
like President Grant we have little OF no
fear that his increase Of power will be
abused. But we should be very sorry
to see a Democratic Congress giving any
such power to a Democratic President.
We are afraid that the Republicans in
Congress have set their political oppo-
nents q bad precedent, which they will
be sure to avail themselves of if they ever
again obtain control of the administra-
ton"
