when you accept this compromise, recognize
Hahn as Speaker?
Mr.. Hall-You remember the report of the
Congressional Committee. The entire com
mittee reported that we had majority in the
House, and think it is better to leave the
committee with the information it is in pos
session of to pass on the returns, than accept
those of the Returning Board. As for the
recognition for the purposes of organization,
| there would be recognition.
| Mr.. Mitchell-Are there any results to be
obtained that will benefit the people; is there
| any grievance that you can lift?
Mr. Hall-What could We have done if we
had staid in on the 4th of January?
MI Mitchell-Ah Nothing 1 will admit,
but there would fave been no sacrifice of
principle. You went out, and the causes for
which you Withdrew still remain.
Notwithstanding the opinion of 1Tr. Burke,
[ must say that l think the Louisiana case
has been taken up by the people. The press,
which certainly gives expression to the
opinion of the psople, has taken up the mat
ter, and in Philadelphia, the worst Radical
city in the Union, out OF eighteen papers
only two support Grant.
