The playing of a Polish pianist,

MEMPHIS, TENN, TUESDAY, JANUARY H. 1873.

sent last winter to Louisiana, the two
| Election Committees and the Judiciary
Committee. He argued against the res
olution, saying something should be left
! to time, the great healer; that
/ Louisiana should be left to take care of
herself, and that Congress should be
done with the everlasting question Of
reconstruction; let them reconstruct
themselves somewhat; If they can't
have pace let them have trouble. He
wouldn't care If some Of those violent
rascals down there cut each others
throats.
Mr.. Cox supported the resolution, de-
string no er-pdrte statement, but both
sides Of the question, so that Congress
might determine the proper course to
pursue
Mr. Poland argued that the question
was a mere election contest and purely
Of a judicial nature. One side had got a
decision in its favor, and it was not for
him to say whether it was right or
wrong. 1t was the duty of the Execu-
tive to prevent civil war and anarchy,
and that he had done.
Mr.. Hale (Maine) supported the reso-
luton, arguing that the earpetbag gov
ernments brought disgrace upon the
Republican party, and might have
brought defeat upon it but for other
OverpOwering considerations. The Re-
publican party will be held responsible
in the future if anarchy and corruption
prevail in the Southern States, and
therefore he wanted solemn and funda-
mental action.
Mr.. Bingham sustained and Mr.. Scho-
field opposed the resolution.
Mr.. Dawes opposed the resolution,
saying there was more trouble with eX-
isting facts than with any effort to
search after others. The constitution
confers upon the Executive the duty of
recognizing, when there is a conflict in
a Stateywhich of the two was the gov
eminent de fdctO, not de jtSre, and Con-
gress was not to set up by enactment
one set of officers, but to decide on the
point who were de JidctO officers. The
question who were de jJlre officers
should be left to the State courts. So
far, the President had acted in conform
ity with his duty.
Mr.. ShellabargeT indorsed Mr.. Dawes's
views; Mr.. Poland and Mr.. Eldridge
those of Mr.. Kerr.
Mr.. Garfield offered as a substitute a
resolution referring the Presidents mes
sage on the subject of Louisiana to the
Judiciary Committee, with instructions
to report whether any facts in the case
require action by Congress. Adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Hibbard the rules
were suspended to allow his proposition,
in reference TO the Pacific railroad, to be
the order as an amendment to the Leg
islative Appropriation bill.
Mr.. Sargent moved a suspension of
the rules, to enable him to offer as an
TO the same BILL PROPOSE |
tion directing the Attorney-General TO !
institute a suit in equity against the |
Pacific Railroad Company, to ascertain |
whether they are in default to the Gov
eminent.
Without taking vote the House adj
journed.
