people Of the South il it Gould be adopted now Inc
remedy ia within the power of the people, anu Is
connected With the resolution of the minority
Mr.. Vedder (Repl Of Cattsraugus IN voting ie"'
insisted that the Administration was not in any why
responsible for the acts of Sheridan.
Mr.. Prince Rep) Of Queens in voting Oh .iio ""
ortv resolution said that tho proceedings Oh 'ou"S
were mainly matter Of CONTAMINATION Du' .,'
majority were responsible for the DIVISION VI e"u-
80 ,ho, had taken place. Their denuDciatrJn of
.n;..rr interference met with the appror ation Of
m. whole House. but they had inser Ged matters
which could not be approved by tho minority. He
;oned also in coudemning Gen. Skeridan's language
and the insane dispatch of the Secretary of War but
the charge that the General Government shows a
tendency to subordinate the civil to the military
power in disregard of constitutional guarantees was
untrue in fact. He regretted that there could not
have been l2S votes in favor OF proper resoiNion
but was compelled to vote no.
The vote. taken by Yeas and Nays, first on the
resolution of the minority, and then on that OF the
majority, was a strict party VOTE without break,
| except that of absenteesm.
In the Senate the discussion of Senator Johnson's
resolution ran still the private virtues and pupno
services of Gen. Philip ii. Sheridan. and great
deal of ancient history, in which Gen. jackson was
| the principal figure, was torn up by the roofs anu
scattered about with prodigal hand Inc me-
publican majority are apparently detelhiheu "
pass a resolution highly complimentary TO
| Gen. Sheridan. Indeed, the greater the weight
| of responsibility that is thrown upon the
General. the more rapid seems the growth Of their
admiration for him. If it continues at TINS rate Ills
nomination for United States Senator ought to
| follow as q matter of course. The discussion COW
cred very much the same ground as yesterday and
hxyG IN. x,
and Wellman, Republicans and Johnson Parmenter'
| Jacobs and Lord, Democrats. Several amendments
| were made TO the resolution As Offered Yesterday
| and adopted until it stood finally as follows:
PeSored That We the representatives OF tho people
| OF the State OF New-YOrk In Senate assembled, WHO
affirming our mistaken confidence In the PATRIOTISM
fidelity and integrity OF Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, neyerhe-
less hereby condemn and deDOunce the spirit and sent-
ments OF the telegrapbic dispatch OF Gen. shendan'
dated at New Orleans L. Jan 5, 1915 TO the Secretary
| OF War. which suggests that Congress should
| pass a law declaring a large class OF the people
Of Louisiana "bandIth." in order that they
! eould be tried by military commission" and
! which also suggests that at Is possible thaC II
the President would issue proclamation declaring tue
same ctzers banditt further acton need he TAKEN
except that which would deyOlve npon bimsc thereby
constituting himself tGen. sheridau) military dictator
Judge and executiOner; that we regard the recon-
mendatons In his dispatch despOtic Ia their nature
ranted by the present situation Of affairs IN Louisiana
so far as this body is at this time advised.
Ia this shape Senator johnson refused to recognize
the resolution as his bantling, and the Democrats
resorted to all the arts of the parliamentary iibus-
ter to postpone action them until tomorrow, tc
allow them time for consideration, This at
| tempt the Republicans resisted, and long
| aud barren discussion was the result. EX'
tracts from Bartletts Life of Jackson were
read for the edifcatiOn Of the spectators and tho
pages aud both Senator Jacobs and Senator
| johnson threatened to make speeches of infinite
length if the majority would not yield. discus
sion of the records of Gen Jackson and Gen. sheri'
dan ut Orleans, which Senator King precp-
itated, was taken up by Senator johnson with such
evident resh and with such good-humored will
ingness to talk all day and all night if necessary
that the discretion and the appetites of the majority
induced them to yield. They did so, with the under
| standing Oh both sides that the vote shall be taken
tomorrow morning after the reading of the journal
| without debate, amendment, or delay. Several Re
publican Senators feel confident tna the resolution
will receive the support of the Democratic side, but
that support viii he partial if any is given at all.
