made bv Mr.. Hutchinson, In the course
of his remarks he made use Of the follow.
ing expression, which repeat pEbGiiHi,
"Phil, Sheridan has no more idea Of the
Constitutional question involved in the
Louisiaaa difficulties than. the Yeriest
bull dog that throng our stIeetsH This
is sweet talk-rabOut The Lieutenant Gen.
cral Of The U. s, Army-irom q gehtleman
elected from the second county in the
State, in wealth and importance, to make
laws for an intelligent and honorable
people, Mr., Miller was a participant in
the lost cause, and as matter Of course,
he don't like Sheridan. In one sense
Gen. Sheridan il "bull dog" He was
one Of the principal "buIl dogs" that took
the NANCY cur Of sGeessiOR-a part oil
whom Mr.. Miller was which-and shook
him till he Capitulated, at AppOmatox
G. II. And Gen. Sheridan will be the
"bull dog that will shake the life out Of
Ku-Kluxism in New Orleans and the
South ut large, He is "bull dog whose
name will live in American history as
one Of the survivors OF the Union, when
all his narrow, minded enimies and per-
secitors will lie buried in for gotten
graves,
The next speech on behalf Of the Re-
publicans in the debate was by
hon. W. D. CARLILE,
who has an easy flow Of words and uses
as pure rhetoric as any man in the State,
lie carved up the gentleman that pre-
coded him in q lamentable manner. He
claimed that the subject before the House
was no light and tritling matter; that II
should be considered above the slogan OF
partisanshiP that West Virginia had by
her voters twice endorsed President
Grant, aud that her delegates had not
been elected this time to Censure him.
They should reflect before they passed
such wild and sCurrilous resolutions to
represent the sentiment Of the people OF
this State.
He then took up the resolutions SO.
riatim aud gave them scathing review.
lie said "ThO Democratic party was the
first in America to claim the right Of
Federal interference when divisions oc-
Cured in State affairs. II was all right
for General Jackson TO arrest Judge Hall
and displacG him from his position in this
same State Of Louisiana, because his decis-
ions were not in accordance with the con-
struction given Of "a Republican form OF
government by q Democratic administra'
ton; and General Jackson was afterwards
elected by the Democrats a. President OF
the United States, II was all right for
Franklin Pierce, Democratic President,
to use the army and navy TO capture
fugitive slave. ltc=was all right when
President Grant last year displaced Re-
publican and rGinstated u Democratic
Governor in the State Of Arkansas, and
II was all right for Federal bayOnets 10

Speaker Of the so.callcd Legislature Of

ton to the rights Of sovereign States for

have not space 10 give further sy-
nopis Of his speech, 1t was argument
tative throughout and was q creditable
effort to tho young man who had tho
courage to fenrlessly speak his sentiments
before wild aud frantic body Of rebel
BOnrbOns.
Next on the Democratic side came the
very
HON. W. NJ. WEIGH,
Of Mineral, who was once "UniOn man"
but Is now u Democrat" His speech
was both thin and short. The only point
that he mnde was that he considered II
the duty Of all Republicans as well a.
Democrats to move in solid phalanx
against the tyranny Of tho Administra-
ton. 10 a MOloc 1t sounded very much
like the music md solemnity Of a goose
eating grass by mOOnshine. II was by
no means " hofly."
Then came the representative from
the foremost county Of the State, where
