General Assembly, which was referred TO
the Committee on Federal Relations:
To the General ASsenlbly
! desire to call your attention to the
grave circumstances of the interference Of
federal troops in the organization Of the
legislature of a sister State. If the re-
ported action of the military, in unseating
persons claiming to be members of the
Louisiana legislature, and giving their
places to persons contesting the
same is true, and is legal and
and proper, then the same interference
would be legal and proper here and it
seems to me to be the duty of the represen-
tativcs of the people of this State to at
once enter vigorous protest against the
action that may be- made precedent at

a law warranting the settling of contested
elections cases in State legislatures by
the use of Federal troops, then in my
judgement you should request It's imme-

FORTY.THIRD CONGRESS.
WAsHINGToN, January !.
SENATE.

Senator Sargent called up the Senate
bill to remove the limitation restricting g
the circulation Of Banking Associations
from issuing notes payable in gold, which
was reported from the Finance Commit
tee on Tuesday last. Passed
Mr.. Wright from the judiciary Com
mittee, called up the House bin TO abol-
ish the Western District of Arkansas,
and offered substitute therefor; but on
the suggestion of Mr.. Thurman its con-
sideratioll was postponed until to-mor-
row.
Consid Grafton OF Mr.. Thurman's
Resolution.
The Senate then resumed the consider
alton of the resolution in regard to
Louisiana affairs, submitted on Tuesday
by Mr.. Thurman.
Mr.. Hamilton, of Maryland, said the
people of the country might well take
alarm from the unprecedented character
of the seizure of the State House in New
Orleans. The information asked of the
President by the resolution now before
the Senate, was desired by all, and he did
not see where there could be any oblec-
ton to passing it. The Senator from
Wisconsin Howe had asked, "Wh hat are
you going to do in case the President did
not answer the resolution He Ham
ilton) did not suppose the President
would decline to answer but If he should
Congress had remedy. The army did
not belong to the President; but it be-
longed TO the people. If the President
used the army for improper purposes.
Congress could disband that army; it
could refuse to vote supplies for it and
every armed soldier in the land could be
dispersed by Congress; every vessel Of
war now before New Orleans could be-
taken away by Congress; it required no
articles of impeachment to do that; no
two-thirds vote; but simply the major
ity of the representatives of the people
could do so; that WAS the remedy OF
Congress against despotic executive.
He argued that it was not
the duty of soldiers to be arresting legis-
lators and organizing legislatures. The
people attended to that themselves.
There never was precedent for the ac-
ton in Louisiana. On Monday last the
uSurping Governor of Louisiana COM
manded the army of the United States i'll
that State, AMI, by his orders that army
expelled the members of the legislature.
No one could tell when and where this
thing would be repeated. The Governor
of a State had nothing to do with the or
ganizing of II legislature. That matter
rested with the legislature itself. The
Senator from Indiana Norton was fly
ing into bloody rage again, and that he

| South. were heralded before the country
for electioneering purposes.
Mr.. Logan asked the Senator if he was
! candid in the statement that the stories
of the Southern outrages were heralded
before the country for election purposes
Mr.. Hamilton replied that perhaps
some murders had been committed, and
no one regretted them more than him.
self. But these stories OF Southern out
RACES were heralded before the country
for campaign purposes.
Mr.. Logan said he would liked to have
read the testimony showing that one
| hundred negroes were murdered IN one
place He was prepared with sworn
| statements to show that every statement
of these outrages was true, and It would
not do to say they were hera!dcd to the
county tor campaign purposes. The men
who made such statements We're scared
with iron hearts, and held no sympathy.
Applause in the galleries.
The Chair. Mr.. Ferry Of Michigan, }
! directed the Sergeant ut arms To see that
the rules were enforced in the galleries.
Mr.. Hamilton, resuming his argument,
said this whole outrage business was
wrong. The idea that the good people
of Louisiana, as cultured, as intelligent
and as patriotic as the Senator himself,
mir. Morton should be put under negro
control because some rutiian Killed man,
was al outrage.
Mr.. Logan asked Senator Hamilton if
he endorsed the action of Governor Penn
in overturning the State government of
Louisiana in 1874.
Mr.. Hamilton said he would answer the
question in his own way and PROFOUND
to his friend another, and that was, did
he TLoganl believe McEnery had been
elected Governor of Louisiana?
Mr.. Logan said he had reported that
in his opinion there had been such frauds
that neither Kellogg nor McEncry were
elected. He then repeated his question
TO Mr.. Hamilton, whether he endorsed
the action of Governor Penn in ovcrturn-
ing the State government.
MIR. Hamilton-Why, there was no
| State government to overthrow, and the
honorable Senator has so reported.
