that the military authorities there shOuIl
= take such action as would preserve tn
, peace, they to certain extent superseded
the government, and acted without III
recognition AID against its inclinations.
Now, sir. l shall recuc to the charge mad,
, in the words of the Senator from Ohio Mr.
' Thurman. He eaid:>
The great theme which now engages the
American Senate is that grea: question Of
constitutional law. whether con Institutional
government shall be preserved in this land
or military despotism take its place"
The specification Of that charge has been
furnished Us through the information tina,
his resolution elected, and that specification
is that General De TrObriand. &C ting at the
request Of Governor Kellogg request
made in obedience to an appeal of fifty-two
members, majority of the Legislature then
in the process of assembling. and upon the
Judgment of the Governor that he had ex.
hausted all the State resources at his COM
mand to suppress then formidable move
ment of domestic violence-prOstrated the
civil institutions of that State to federal
military power, and imperiied the liberties
OF 100000 of people. It is nowhere ad-
mltted-on the contrary, it is emphatiealy
denled-that this action emanated from the
President of the United States, or that he
IT. and in support of that proposition want
to recur to another page of Louisiana his
tory, showing what the President of the
United States is inclined to do when he is
compelled to act and when he has the
proper information at his command.
tod the Senate that should recur to
some incidents Of Louisiana history that
had apparently escaped their recollection
DO they remember that Just precisely
three years preceding the events that have
| created SO much excitement, and which
have been the subject OF this discussion
| precisely to day three years before these
| events trapspired We had another event
| somewhat analogous in character, aud the
| action was entirely different! On the
| fourth of January. 1875, General De Tro.
BRAND, at the request of Democratic $50
called) Speaker Of the House, came to his
relief. Ga the fourth of January. 1872, q
conspiracy, entered into in the Legislature
OF Louisiana by a minority of Democrats,
temporarily overthrow that House, and
when their plans were foiled they appealed
to the military to abolish and annihllate
that House. The Legislature Of Louisiana
was in session on the fourth day OF Janu.
ary, 1872. A minority of the House, having
certain projects aud plans, took occasion to
secure the temporary control of the House |
