Mr.. Garfield objected to the prcsen-
alton of such a paper, setting out
what the Speakers decision was.
The Speaker remarked that the ap.
peal was presented in an unusual way.
He had not decided that such rcsolu.
ton should be received, TO the exclu-
sion OF the business first provided.
After some discussion the speaker
announced that he had reduced his
decision to writing, as follows: That
resolution to amend the rules NAV
be read and referred TO the Commit.
tee on Rules during the first call of
States in the morning hour on Mon
day, and that constitutes notice ae.
cording to tho usage of The House, and
from that decision the gentleman from
Pennsylvania had appealed.
Mr.. Randall's appeal having been
handed back to him, he stated that he
had not withdrawn it, and was in
informed by the Speaker that there
was no necessity for withdrawing it,
as the Chair had not received it.
An attempt at further discussion was
defeated by loud calls for the regular
order
Mr.. Kasson moved to lay Mr.. RAN
dalls appeal on the table, which was
agreed to by l75 ayes to 81 nays-a
strict party vote.
Mr.. Butler moved to suspend the

showed him a list Of one hundred and
fifty persons to be arrested Oct. 25th.
and asked witness to aid him. Did
no. aid him, and could not say wheth.
or tho troops were used for political
purposes or not
IL. G. Meyers, a resident of Natchito-
chcs parish, testified that the trouble
among the people there is due TO ex-
cessive taxes. Did not think many
negroes voted with the Democrats.
Never heard of negroes being hung in
his parish.
Mr.. Frye questioned him as to the
cansc Of leaving home.
Witness said IL was through fear of
personal injury. The Republicans
were safe there up to the time OF the
meeting on the 22d Of July. Thirty
three persona, 90 being colored, were
killed in the parish since 1868, and no.
body was punished come were
brought to trial but acquitted.
Mrs. Meyers corroborated her hns-
bands testimony.
Thos. Lightfoot, colored, testified
that while under bonds for COW steal
ing, Mr.. James promised him IL he
would work and vote for the Demo-
Gratis, his final discharge was assured.
He was offered 800 or $500 to testify
before the committee for tho Demo-
Gratis had never been offered anything

assured them there would be no
trouble, and steamboat men refused
transportation to the State militia.
When Gen. Emery sent up troops he
had TO almost buy the boat; said taxa
ton in the county parishes was not
excessive. When the White League
operated the delinquent tax amounted
to double the parish debt. The low
land on the Teche were assessed at
five dollars per acre, while the pro-
ducts of these lands were worth five
times as much rs corresponding lands
in Illinois. In New Orleans the ASSESS
meni was high and the system bad.
The commerce of the city was greater
to-day than for twenty years. The
import trade had fallen off, owing to
riots and political troubles, but the
Western product and steamboat trade
had increased.
The Governor continued at great
length, giving facts about the com.
merce of the State and internal inter-
ests.

The following statistics of the pub.
lie schools Of Iowa, will appear in the

pose. The principal is not used. The
money is loaned out on real estate Sc
curity double in value the sum loaned,

ments. Under the new law, each coun-
IT, becomes responsible to the State for
whatever money it loans.

WASHINGTON.

1 WASHINGTON, Feb. LA number of
representatives of col0red men are now
in Washington from several Southern
States, including Representative RAJ
pier, of Alabama, j. b. Pinchback, A.
M. Gibbs, of Arkansas, Geo. w. Price,
OF North Carolina. together with Fred.
erick Douglass, Geo. Downing, PrOfs.
Langston and Sampson, Drs. Burvis
and Augustus. They have just pub
lishcd the result Of their deliberations
in areccnt meeting. In their address
they set forth that the recent Demo-
cratic victories have increased lawlcss-
ness in tho South; that next to this
evil is the timid assertion of civil
rights by the friends Of the movement;
that any apathy on tho part Of the
President or Congress Will be con-
strned into license by disloyaliats
and cause Thorn 10 renew and increase
their violence. Tho appeal continues
considering that we belong to a
class of citizens who will suffer by the
inon-action OF Congress we earnestly
appeal for relief. IL affairs are per-
mitted to proceed as now, II requires
no unusual foresight to ace that col
ored citizens South will either be
driven into neutrality, or for self-pro.
lection forced to act with their old OPP
pressnrs in the Democratic party, and
the latter more probable than the
former, as a peaceful organization for
the purpose OF neutrality wOnld natu-
rally excite suspicion, surveillance and
violence. There Is still one other al
Tentative. to which we are exposed
one which ia truly fearful to contem.
plate. Human nature is the same
everywhere. There are many varieties
of men, but only ono hDman nature
and it is possible that stung to mad
ness and desperation by continued
and unceasing outrages, and seeing no
means OF escape open, retaliation and
revenge may be aroused, which will
fiji the South with seems of rapine,
blood and fire. To avoid such cstas.
trophy we earnestly appeal to Con.
gress for the action already mentioned.
We invite tho sympathy and support
to this appeal of all lovers of liberty
and order throughout the country.
