Mr. Sarpcnt Of California, introduced bill In
relation 10 certain deposits in the post Office de-
partrnent Referred. After the expiration OF the
morning hour Nj. Morton, OF dha1asna aadress
reviewed at length the arguments OF Mr.. Carpen :
ter He quoted from the Rhode Island case OF
Potter against Robbins, and said 1t directly sus-
tained his views in this ease. The Senator Car
penter) would admit that he was more fa-
milisr with the law OF Wisconsin than
with those OF Louisiana, and certainly
The decisions OF legal tribunals in louisiana
were entitled TO more weight than the argument
fore the senate now depended upon former de-
eisions of Judge Durell. Mr.. Morton then spoke
At some length as to the legal powers of the Pres
idcnt to employ the land and naval forces of the
United States, and said the views Of tie Senator
A., r~~ra-n frsC Ha
the argument OF the gentleman (Carpepterl,
that the President had never recognized the
kitb kslF0sf the Whole mater. e The President n
did recognize that Legislature, even II he had
not he heogg a. b anu
of the kellogg government by the President was
asde ,n the State government OF louisiana, and
order new election was one of the gravest char
acter. IL could not be done without setting aside
aportiOn of the constitution OF louisiana II
Congress should order new election now, the
constitution of Louisiana would require another
one for members OF the Legislature next Novem'
ber. -.
fSesI Preside1t than the argument Of the Senator
from Wisconsin Carpenter, that he must re
ceive Information from the Legislature of the
state and demand for interference before he
could interfere. He (Conkling) would gentur,
to say If turbulence existed in any state OF the
iniepe e If he but received the ontcry from
the Governor, no matter about the form of ap
y.
be as fall as II he received an application
reiterating all the particulars. The authority
to decide whether an exigency had arisen IRON
the use OF federal forces, rested entirely with th
president, and he had the right TO take into con
federation the letters of Pinchback, claiming Il
be acting Governor on the 18th OF Decen Der, ans
all other information he could get. Therefore l
seemed to him that the argument OF the gentle
man from Wisconsin (Carpenter) to which b
would subsequently take occasion to reply
seemed TO have degenerated into more criticism
on the part Of the application.
The people must stop this murder bus
ness, The election of sixty-eight was q fai
victory TO- the Republicans. But for tn
Warmoth fraud, Kellogg would have beel
elected in 1872 by from 10000 70 $4,000
There had beln frauds committed by a.
parties, but those of the republicans were a
drift wood. This new election Inovemen
carried JOY unspsakable to the hearts of tn
Colfax Parish ~murderers. The bankrup
bill Was trel ,aken up and read. Severs
other minor points were taken up and dis
posed cf and Senate adjourned.
