recommttted. 1t proposes to allow
an additional representative to
each of the States of New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Tennessee,
louisiana, Alabama and Florida,
Such additional representatives to be
elected from the States at large, un-
less otherwise provided by the legisla
ture.
After considerable discussion the
resolution went over.
The deficiency appropriation bill
was taken up. A discussion arose on
an item appropriating one million
dollars for the expenses Of the iudici-
ary and 1t ran into the kuklux bust.
ness. 1t was principally carried on
by Messrs. Cox, Barry, and Rainey
fnegro.1 The speech Of the last
named member was In reply to Mr..
Cox and In defense of the c0l0red peo-
ple of the South; it attracted much
attention and elieited considerable sp-
Dlause on the floor and in the galle-
ries.
Mr.. Dawes paid a compliment to
Mr.. Rainey for his speech, and re.
viewed the recent changes In the con-
stitution and laws affecting the social
and political condition Of the colored
people.
Mr.. Cox replied to Mr.. Rsiney, and
denied that he had said anything to
warrant the attack made on him by
the latter in mis- speech, which had
been appIauded, but in which he CCox1
thought there was nothing to call for
such demonstration, except on the
principle that a work of art was
praised not because of its merit, but
because it was painted with the toes.
TLsughter.1 He claimed that he had
done his share in elevating to position
the eOlored race.
Mr.. Dawes asked Mr.. Cox to state
whether he had voted for the emanci-
patton of slaves In the District Of
Columbia, or to give them citizenship,
or for the thirteenth constitutional
amendment.
Mr.. Cox said he never told thing
on compulsion. Laughter.
Mr.. Dawes said he would read from
the Globe the name Of the gentleman
as voting against the thirteenth
amendment.
Mr.. Cox said he had intended to
vote for the constitutional amend
ment, and had promised Mr.. Lincoln
TO do SO if he would send to the Con-
federate authorities at Richmond to
induce them to come back into the
Union without any further shedding
of blood. It was while that commits
sion was absent that the proposed
amendment to the constitution was
voted on In the house, and under the
circumstances he couldn't vote for 1t,
but was in favor Of it and had induced
other Democratic members to vote
for 1t.
Mr.. NIblack disclaimed on his own
gecount any responsibility for confer
ring political rights on the coloEed
people.

JAG CKsoN, March 8.
The United States court was occu-
pied in examining witnesses for the
defence in the kuklux case. The wit
nesses are all white men, and give
straight forward and lucid accounts Of
the troubles at Meridian. Already
the case for the government is COM
pIetely overturned.

The legislature is moving slowly
but giving more attention to import
ant business. Fees and salaries of
public officers occupied the senate to-
day, and penitentiary bill occupied
the house.

A SINGING REsUKE.
Judge Cooley on WarmOth-Ths eOEiilct
BetHeeu Power aSd Right In
New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, March 5.-The ex-
ecutive and judicial conflict contin-
ues. Judge Cooley ordered Van
Norden rearrested this morning and
brought before him. About eleven
O'Clock the sheriff brought Van Nor
den in, when Judge Cooley delivered
a lengthy discourse upon the action
of the governor yesterday in pardon
ing the prisoner and attempting
to defeat the ends of justice, in
which he said: "If the governor
were to be permitted to exercise
such functions we might as well abol-
ish the courts entirely, for there could
be executed no law or order against
the party who might be fortunate
enough to have the governor to back
him. The. governor, more than any
one else, ought to respect and uphold
the DEGREES of the court, for he Is Of
them an executive member. In this
case he has so far forgotten his duty
as not only to not assist in the execu-
ton Of the law, but he has conspired
to defeat 1t. Such conduct cannot
be tolerated in any country where
the laws are respected, and 1t
must be put down. What makes
the matter still worse Is that
that it is well known that the governor
Is alleged to be party to the very
suit out OF which this matter has ar
risen, although he has kept In the
background, and he attempts to shield
from harm those who have been
working In his interests. 1 therefore
charge the sheriff to convey Mr.. Van
Norden to the parish prison, there to
be confined according to the terms Of
the original sentence, and / win hold
the sheriff responsible under the act
of 1858 for the proper execution OF this
order"
Van Norden is again in the parish
prison.

Two stOrlss in gsgard to the Black Hill
Gold Mines.
THE FIRST STORY.


CHICAGO, March 5.-Sensational re.
ports have been published lately OF
alleged wonderful gold discoveries in
the Black Hills, in Wyoming Terri
tory, and an expedition is organizing
at Sioux City for the purpose Of going
there. A letter from q citizen of DacO-
tab who is well informed uDOn mat
ters In the western territories, warns
the public against this new humbug,
which Is gotten up by sharpers to vic
dmize such as may be induced to Join
the Wild'goOse expedition. He says
the:e is probably no gold in the Black
Hills, and even II there was, the treaty
Of the government with the Indians in
that region Is such that no white man
can take possession of the bills in
question, 1t being reserved territory.
TIE SECOND STORY.
Sioux CITY, March 5 The Chicago
Journals editorial denOuGcing the
Black Hills gold discovery, tele.
graphed by the Associated Press last
night, created much amusement in
this city to 0day. The special CORE
spondent Of the Journal, from Dacotah,
on whose statement the editorial was
based, is well known here, and known
to be entirely irresponsible. He was
in Chicago on the day the editorial
appeared, and undoubtedly wrote it
himself. a sufficient refutation of the
whole statement is the fact that every
paper in DacOtah fully credits all re-
p0fted discoveries, and publish reports
fully confirming the same. Excite
ment here continues unabated, The
citizens today subscribed two thou
sand dollars cash in aid OF fitting out
the first expedition, and have pledged
themselves to furnish any amount re-
quired to fully develop the gold fields.
Letters are pouring in from all sec
tiOns OF the country making inquiries
In regard to the matter.
