Ger p H. Sheridan. New Orleans:

VIM. w. BELKNAP,
Secretary Of War
WASHINGTON, Jan. Gil. A. Moore, to be
Postmaster at Bryan, Tex; L. c. Rainey, at
Georgetown, S. c., and J. Il. Wickle, at Car
tcrsville, Ga. gao. k-.gz
WASHINGTON, Jan. Tile House.-The
following was injected during the debate over
the Fertilization BILL For some time the dis
cussion of the bill ran along on the question
Of the utility of sea coast Notifications.
In the course of it, Mr.. Garfield Of Ohio,
alluded to the principle of international arbi-
| tration, and Mr.. Hawley, Of Connecticut, in
tmated that the American seacOast defenses
| and American navy were not in condition to
| resist the Spanish navy
Mr.. Cox, of New York, ridiculed the idea of
international arbitration and showed that
many Of the greatest wars in history have
taken place within the last quarter Of cen
fury.
He declared that there was never such a
fiasco as the arbitration system of the Admin
istration. Had the Administration settled
the Virginius question with Spain? It was
not settled yet
The Administration, he said, was following
the British Government like little Jolly boat
behind steamer. The Administration held
up the white banner to other nations and
made war upon the American people,
Mr. Willard, OF Vermont, remarked that as |
Notifications would probably be necessary if !
the Democracy came into power, he would |
withdraw an amendment which he had offered |
to reduce the appropriations.
Mr.. Cox, returning to the Louisiana ques-
ton, remarked that there never had been
anything which SO shocked the public sense
of the country as the order promulgated by
Gen. Sheridan at New Orleans.
The people OF the country we're not patient
or forbearing in the matter, though the peo-
pie of Louisiana were. While these people
he observed, fought thieves and fought des-
l
the flag of the country.
MIR. Willard remarked that the observation
which he had made referred to the probability
OF the Democracy, when it came into power,
the country into war with
Spain for the acquisition Of Cuba He had
always stood as firmly as he WIS able for the
rights of American citizens.
Mr. Cox-Do you approve the bulletin Of
Gen. Sheridan?
MIR. Willard have already stated that I
did not approve of what has been done in
Louisiana for the last two years, and that in
cludes the proceedings OF the last two days.
Mr.. Cox l make an ample apology
TO the gentleman from Vermont; but, as to
Cuba, | have to say to him that my propo-
'ition to recognize the belligerency Of the
Jubans does not necessarily mean going to |
var with Spain.
Mr. Beck, Of Kentucky, read the dispatch
rom Gen. Sheridan to the Secretary of War, 6
the proclamation Of martial law
nd the trial of offenders i'll Louisiana by +,
lrum-head court-martial.
He also read a decision of the Supreme {
;ourt on the question of martial law. and he I
emarked that the President should instantly | q
emove that commander and put in his place L
man who had some regard for the rights of S
he people. t
Mr.. Tremain, Of New York, protested against t
ne criticism OF Gen. Sheridans statement, +
nd giving credence to what he called an c
ffiicted and associated press under the con- t.
'ol of Ku Klux and White Leaguers. Il
Mr.. Durham, Of Kentucky, called Mr. Ire
lain's attention to Gen. Sheridans dispatch. Il
nd to the opinion read by Mr.. Beck, and n
sked him for his opinion as a lawyer, on Al
lat question. le
Mr.. Tremain did not give a direct answer,
ut addressed himself to the remarks of bis al
'lleague Cox, and eu!ogized the Republi- h
n party. W
MIR. Archer, of Missouri, commented upon CT
% undeniable and undisguised fact that G
ranny and misrule existed in Louisiana til
lille the Republican party ruled in that b.
ate and in the nation. 10
Mr.. Durham. Of Kentucky, again called on
r. Tremain to answer the question put to in
Mr.. Tremain replied that when it came to to
lestion whether an unoffending and peace
lie people were to be cut down, or whether We
cir murderers were to be cut down by the
my, he would justify martial law, but he all
garded this question as impairment ne
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, commenting
on remark of Mr. Tremain's as to the M,
lthfulness Of Gen Sheridan, asserted that Sc
1t officer had forgotten the first requisite Of De
nan and soldier and forgotten his love of
Ith. tic
There was not one word of fact accompa- thi
ing Gen. Sheridan's telegram, or which
titled its assertion. He was glad, he said, ele
see that not one Representative had recog- ty-
ed the propriety OF Gen. Sheridan's sug-
tion that the State Of Louisiana should be
ned over to him. fro
Mr. E. r. Hoar, referring to Mr.. Beck's wa
,gestion that Gen. Sheridan should be in wit
ntly removed remarked that if the prin-
le were adopted that every man giving bad say
ice should be removed from his place, he OF
