~. "a. s.4 SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The following
is continuation of Senate proceedings
from the report sent last light.
At four A. NJ, Mr.. Flanagan, who was
on the floor, gave way to Mr.. Morton, who
made a motion to adjourn. The Chair, MIR.
Ferry, of Michigan, was ~
3 os-z- Sound Asleep, s.EF
and had to be awakened by the clerk to put
the motion. The motion to adjourn was
lost, and Mr.. Flanagan resumed. o.
v-sv Hill's Compromise.
The question was then taken on the sub
stitute offered by Mr.. Hill, when it was
lost-ayes 16, noes 20. The alternatives
were the Democratic Senators and Hill and
Trumbull. Et4L
mir. Howe then renewed in different
terms his amendment, that until a new
election the Kellogg Government shall be
considered the de facto government. 1t
was agreed to; ayes 20, noes is. e.. -- ..
Mr. West then moved an amendment,
which he said was for the purpose of con-
forming the lines of the election precincts to
the lines fixed by the State laws. -
Mr.. Carpenter opposed the amendment
and said it would put the whole control of
the election in the hands of Kellogg.
What was wanted was fair election, and
so that was effected it did not matter a fig
whether it was Democratic or Republican.
The amendment was then rejected; ayes
II, nays 8.
The bill having been considered in COM
mittee of the whole was reported to the
Senate, the question being on concurring in
the amendment which had been made.
that the amendment had been adopted in
committee Of the whole by the vote of Mr..
Carpenter.
Mr.. Carpenter said he did not by his vote
recognize that any one Congress in order
ing this new election could designate any
one as the government adinterim.
Mr.. Trumbull said that the whole testi-
mony showed an organized conspiracy to
carry the State of Louisiana, having its
headquarters in the New Orleans Custom
house and indirect support from Washing
ton. Hsuch thing is to be done, it is
useless TO argue. Farewell TO all free cleo
tions if such usurpations are to be sust ain
ed. There was
A State Near Here
| Pennsylvania where the election frauds
had been four fold what they were 10 Lou
isiana. He was mortified that the Presi-
dent pardoned election repeaters convicted
in Federal courts.
Mr.. Carpenter skid lie would prefer the
bill as it came from the Committee, but he
found half dozen Senators who would not
vote for the bill unless with this recital.
Tue whole question was whether they would
have Kellogg's Government four weeks or
four years. To save the people from
usurped government he made this compro-
mise. He desired fair, free election.
Mr.. Thurman could not vote for this bill,
not only because be did not believe Con-
gress had any constitutional power to pass
it, but be did not believe the facts warrant
ed its passage. The difficulty originated in
the improper conduct of the Administr2-
ton five days alter the unanimous report
of the committee on elections. That &C
ton of Judge Durell was unwarranted
The President sends q mes
sage that if we do not act he will continue
to recognize tina Kellogg Government.
Let him take the responsibility.
The amendment retaining the Kellogg
government in power until a new election
was then concurred in as follows: Ayes,
Boreman, Carpenter, Chandler, Clayton,
Conkling, Corbett, Cragin, Ferry of Michi-
gan, Flanagan, Frelinghuysen, Gilbert,
Hsmblin, Harlan, Howe, Morton, Osborne,
Ramsey, Sawyer, Sherman. Stewart, West,
Wilson-22. Nayes, Bayard, CasSerly,
Cooper, Davis, Edmunds, Goldschiwhait,
Hamilton of Maryland, Hill, johnson.
Kelly, Machen, Norwood, Ransom, Sauls-
bury, Schurz, Sprague, Stephenson, Stock
OOU, 1HuTudu, lTuIlDull-ZU.
Mr.. Hamilton of Maryland, thought Kel
Iogg ought to be in the hands of the law.
He said unless the policy of the Republican
party towards the South was changed, South
Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana
were ... ... ... ....... ..... =
Lost to the Anglo Saxon Race.
Mr.. Casserly said he could not vote for
the BILL
Mr.. Bayard characterized the action of
the President as outrageous. The Senator
from Indiana (Morton) never made more
sudacious statement than when he said that
Senators on this floor would sanction Dur
rell's action. He (Bayard) would like to
zee the lawyer to endorse the outrageous
of Durrell.
Mr.. Morton moved to lay the bill on the
able. Lost; ayes 10, nays Y. The bill
