Mr.. Carpenter then read from the
speech made by kellogg i'll the Senate
in 1868, in which he said that all the
people of the State wanted, was fair
election, and whenever any thief was
in office. under the guiso of being
Republican, he should be put out.
The people wanted n fair election,
even if it be by Federal interference.
In concluding his argument, Mr..
Carpenter said that Congress was in Il
predicameDt where 1T could not
stop. Louisiana had but one Senator
here AMI tho Constitution says She
must have two. The Senator from
New Jersey (Frclinghuysen) had said
he wo:lid not vote to seat Pinchback,
and by thai lie declared there was no
Republican government in Louisiana
By seating Pinchback the Senate
would have recognized Kellogg. By
seating Mcmillan, it would have re-
cognlzed McEnery, but by refusing to
seat either, it declared there had been
no election there. Was it wise to ad-
joun this troublesome question into
the troubles of the Presidential eiec-
ton. 1t was not probable that there
would be the same unanimity then that
there was last time, for us he scanned
the political horizon, he thought he
could see moro than one candidate, and
it was not impossible that the vote of
Louisiana might change the whole
thing. The question should be settled
now and put out of the way, as it was
neither wise nor prudent to adjournit.
He had no personsl feeling in the mat
ter, his relations with Kellogg having
been of the most friendly character,
but be wanted the Congress OF the
United States to do it's duty and order
an honest election, so that the people
could have their choice.
Dir. Frellrghuyseu said that he de-
sired to speak OH the subject, but he
yielded to Senator Cameron, who
moved that the Senate proceed with
the Centennial bill.
Mir. Thurman said he also desired
to speak on Louisiana affairs and
hoped the centennial would go over
until to- morrow.
Mr. Conkling said that the Senator
ihoi oHH1J wanna NSaneIohJ was
anxious to get away, and it was due
MIN 10 take up and dispose of the cen
tennial bill to-day if possible.
Mr.. Cameron's motion to take up the
centennial bill was agreed to.
Pending the motion to refer it to
the Committee on Appropriations, Mr.
Thurman spoke against referring the
bill, and said if it went to that commit
tee the understanding Wouli be that
