WAsIINGToN, March %,
Senator Anthony gave notice that he
would ask the Senate to remain in sGs-
sion to-day, without recess, until vote
should be reached on the pending rOsolu
tion, approving Of the action OF tho Pres.
ident in regard to Louisiana,
Mr., Jones, Of Florida, took tho floor
and spoke in opposition to tho resolution,
He was followed by Mr., Wallace in OPP
position TO tho resolution and in the de-
nunclation Of the military interference in
Louisiana. He said tho action on the
part OF Congress towards the Southern
States was ruinous to the whole country,
II was like building around the southern
portion Of the republic and thus destrOy-
Ing tho markets Of the North. In bis own
great State Of Pennsylvania coal, iron and
lumber laid in piles in the mines and at
furnaces and at saw mills, Tho busy in
dustry Of Lehigh and Schuylkill werc no
longer heard and now the people were be-
coming convinced that this prostration
was largely due to tho Federal bayonets
in the South and the violations Of the
rights Of the people there by the Federal
government, The people Of the North
now asked that the people OF the South
bO allowed to control their own affairs
and give them the power to grow rich,
take away tho Federal bayonets from the
throats Of the people Of the South and
restore the prosperity Of the land.
Mr., Thurman said that the resolution
hrnu1ht forward by the chairman Of tho
caucus (Anthony) used the whitewash
brush very freely upon tho President.
This was a now doctrine approving tho
action Of tho President In enforcing the
laws Of the United States. Suppose he
did enforce tho laws; 1t was his sworn
duty to do so. Those who voted for this
resolution voted IN effect that Kellogg
was tho lawful Governor Of Louisiana
and the Legislature which elected Pinch
back was the legal Legislature Of tho
State, How any man not believing keI-
logV 10 be Governor, and not believing
the Legislature which elected Pinchback
to b6 the legal Legislature Of the State,
could vote for the resolution was beyond
his comprehension. Some Of tho 9ena.
tors on ther side might think II would
elect the next President, but he Thur.
mani thought II the thinnest cruel ever
poured down the throat Of q sick patient,
Mr., Christiancy said he understood the
substitute offered by the Senator from
Rhode Island, first, Us an implied recog.
milton Of the Kellogg government merely
"a one In actual exercise Of governmental
powers in Louisiana, without reference to
its rightiul origin and validity, and In no
way involving the propriety Of its estab-
lishment. Second, that II approves the
Presidents action 30 far Us directed
merely to the protection Of that govern
ment and the people Of the State against
domestic violence and civil war and to
the enforcement Of the laws Of the United
States without approving any Interference
of the military with q legislative body or
in the creation OF the State government,
Such being, as it seems to me, the most
natural and obvious sense Of the language
and the sense In which II will be niUat
naturally understood by the people, | adj
here to the principles and conclusions
which I announced here In my remarks
on the 18th Inst, and which l
here adopt by reference without retraction
or qualification, and while hold that a
recognition by the tho Senate or by Con-
Rress Of government thus initiated can
9iye Il no greater validity than 1t had In
| Ia inreption, still as domestic violence
and civil war, which might lead to COM
pletc dissolution Of society are not tho
beat remedies for getting rid OF even an
illepitimate government. | can approve
thc action Of tho President directed to
humane purposes mentioned IN the
amendment or substitute offered by tho
Senator from Rhode Island, and beliov-
Ing that tho recognition Of this govern
ment for thia purpose and 10 this extent
IA ilistifable under the peculiar circum.
stances now existing in that State, until
BY fair election q more legitimate gov
efnment can be initiated. vote for the
resolution In the sense Iliave here attrib.
uted but IN the large and odious sense
which l,as been attributed to IL by some
Of tho Speakers from the other side !
could not vote for II, and | most delibcr.

enlarged sense or In any sense which
would assert the validity Of the action BY
which that Government was originally
