were victims of political tyranny, from
| which they hoped that the better judge
ment of the people OF the North would
deliver them. True the South had men
who, Us editors, were incorporate, but
there were Incorporate men III the North.
There were indiscrct and desperate men
in New York and other cities of the
North. The hOnorabl" Senator Logan
had talked about the Democratic party
having been in power forty years, and the
result was the ruin and bankruptcy Of the
country. The party Of which the
honorable Senator (Logan) was II
leader had accomplished that result
in Louisiana IN twenty-four months,
but before they accomplished il they had
to educate the prince of darkness TO the
standard to lead them on to conquest. 1t
had been argued here that there were
murders in the South, for the purpose of
destroying the Republican party there.
The Republican Party's Occupation
IN Gone.
The Republican party had destroyed
itself, and its occupation was gone for
ever. He referred to the Civil Rights
| Bill now pending in the other House of
| Congress, and asked if the Republican
party did not pass this bill when it was
/ necessary to hoodwink the colored man.
. A civil rights bill was rushed through the
/ Senate and sent to the House. Then the
members of that body went home and
said "Nuw boys, to the rescue; send us
back again and We will pass that bin.
] IL Il.
was two-fuccd in this matter, and the
country was beginning To understand it
so. The American people were humane
and merciiu when let alone, but they
were the devil when aroused by oppres-
sion He proposed as Il remedy for a.!
this Louisiana difficulty, that the Admin
istrstion should call home the army and
the people would settle the
trouble quietly. The government
should not protect the carpet baggers.
He protested against the North pouring
fourth its political lazzaroni upon the
South. The Senator from Illinois, Mr..
Logan understood the privileges OF the
old Democracy, of which he was SO long
n member, but young Democracy was
now rising, n Democracy upon II ClncIn-
nati platform and following those who
were formerly leaders in old Democracy.
BENJAMIN Boiler was among the Republi-
can lcaders in those days, but formerly
leader in the old Bourbon Democracy.
The young Democracy Of Cincinnati
gave him his qdie;us last fall, and at
T,e same time they laid
the honorable Senator (Logan) IN the
shade in Illinois. 1t WAS not surprising
that this Senator should feel hard to-
wards the young Democracy, Tor 1t WAS
following the old leaders everywhere
In conclusion Mr.. Upton urged that
the resolution of the Senator from Mis-
souri, Mr.. Schurzj be agreed to.
Mr.. Logan said it had been suggested
bv the senator from Nebraska Mr.. Tlp-
tom that his lMr. Logan's) State mtd

then sent to the Clerks desk and had
read. n telegram dated January 10Th, adj
dressed to himself and Mr.. Oglcsby,
stating that the Illinois House of
Representative had just laid upon
the table by vote Of 50 TO -
a Democratic resolution declaring
that the interference of the Executive in
Louisiana was unlawful. He also sent
tn the clerks desk and had read the tclr-
Gram of Wilt to the President, of Jan
Hary llth. stating that he observed in the
message of the President that the use "L
the military in New Orleans, on tn" ith
inst. was unauthorized 10y him, and call
in. upon him to rcinStatc the Legislature"
of which he claimed to be Speaker. Mr.
Logan said it appeared from that t"I"-
cram that the other side wanted the uSo
of the military.
Mr.. Upton said that he hoped the re-
oucst would be granted, and these
Gentlemen would be Inundated by
being made to 60 back ana uhdo
the evil they had done.
Mr. Frclinghuyscn in the course oi a
lengthy address, said the people OF tins
country were painfully impressed with
the Injustice done President Grant and
General Sheridan. During the debate
the whole charge against them was uh-
generous. unjust and untrue. ily hoped
the United States Senate would De care
fuland in its hostility to the use OF MILL
tarv power it would not give countehance
to the more dangerous power "l uSurpa-
