The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1875-01-12

ne would hail the day al q most Ruspi-
oloos ono for the cslored people OF the
South, when they threw off she scan
dalous leadersbip.of those adventurous,
who. taking advantage of their iguo-
rance. made them tools for their ra-
paoity. The people of the South wore
not murderers aud banditti: there
were bad elements among them, bnt
the National Government itself was
giving to these bad elements a
strength which they never would
have Possessed otherwise. By its
nnconstituti"uss proceedings, it put
every one Of these bad msn in posi-.
ton OF being oppressed aud pleading
Tor freedom. He argued that Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Georgia,
where self government WASH obstruct-
I'd. we're advancing in prosperity,
while in Louisiana and in other States
where self-government was obstructed,
there wss no prosperity. He thought
the lawlessness of power was becoming
lar more dangerous than lavlessness of
u mob. The Conservatives OF Lou
isiana did carry the State election,
and were defrauded of it by the
Returning Board. No man would be
able to obscure the real question be-
fore tue Senate by any fimsy side
lssueA. He hoped his motion to in.
strnct the Judiciary Committee would
not result in "a bill for u new election
IN Louisians, with General Sheridan
as chief ruler, aud Packard to con-
duct tho Campaign. No measure
would avail which did not boldly vim
dicxts the constitutional privileges of
tho lnnd and preserve to the State the
right OF government. Morton fol-
lowed, after which there wrs executive
session.
