Carpenter then read from speech
made by kellogg in the Senate in 1868,
In which he sail all the people of the
State wanted was fair election; and
whenever any thief was in Office, under
the guise OF being Republican, he
should be pat out. The people wanted
fair election. even if it be by Federal
interference
In concluding his argument Carpen
ter sold Congress was iu predicament
where 1t could not stop. Louisiana had
but one Senator here, aud the Oonstitu-
ton says she must have two. The Se-i
nator from New Jersey (FrelinghuyseD),
had said he would not vote to seat
Pinchback. and by that he declared
there was no Republican Governmental
Louisiana. By seating Pinohback. the
Senate would have recognized Kellogg.
BY seating MCMILLAN, it would have re-
cognized McEnery. But by refusing to
seat either, it declared there had been
no election there. Was it wise to ad-
1ourn this troublesome question into
the troubles Of the Presidential election?
IL was not probable that there would be
the same unanimity then that there was
last time, for as he scanned the politi-
cal horizon, he thought he could see
more than one candidate; and it was not
probable 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 adjourn it, He had no
personal feeling in the matter, his re-
lAtion with Kellogg having been Of the
most friendly character; but he wanted
the Congress of the United Staten to do
its duty, and order al honest election,
so that the people could have their
choice.
Frelinghuysen said he desired to speak
on the subject, but yielded to Cameron,
who moved that the Senate proceed with
the consideration of the centenni bill.
Thurman said he alao desired to speak
on Louisiana affairs, aud hoped the cen.
tennial would go over till tomorrow.
Conkling said Senator Cameron was
anxious to get away, ind it was due him
to take up and dispose of the centennial
bill, to-day, if possible. Cumeron's g mo o.
tion to take up the centennial was agreed
to. A motion was made to refer it to
the Committee on Appropriations
Thurman spoke against referring the
bill, aud said if it went to that commit.
tee, the understanding would he that
there should be an appropriation for the
celebration, and this he opposed, on the
ground that Congress had no power,
under the Constitution, to vote money
for such purposes.
La the House. the cheap transporta.
tion bill. to regulate commerce by
railroads anoug the several States, wat
debated without any result being reach.
