He would say to the Senator Stop your

Mr.. Gordon said he had not, in what he had
heretofore said, expressed one word of con
delnnatlOn of the administration or of Gene
raj Shelid an. as had been widely represented
Never, from the time of the surrender at Ap-
pomattox Courthouse down 10 the present
time had he ever expressed one word at any
time or place, inconsistent with the sentf-
mentS Of kindness and Cancellation which he
had expressed on this floor. But the appre-
tensions which he had heretofore eNDrSSSei
that any remarks from a southern man on
this floor would be miSconstrued, had been
abundantly confirmed. Mr.. q. then pro-
ceeded TO argue that by the laws of Louisi-
ana any member had the right To call the
roll. He sent TO the desk TO be READ a letter
sent TO him by northern republican, COM
mending his late speech and reciprocating its
sentiments. He read from the orders of Cen
cal Hancock, at New Orleans, setting forth
the supremacy of the civil authority. and he
said that no more Enightly officer served IN
the federal army. He was ever in the front
out when the war closed he laid his unfair
nished blade upon the altar of civil supre-
macy.
Mr.. Schurz submitted the following AZ a
substitute for his pending resolution:

Mr.. SchurZ said the first sentence of the
preamble which he now wished to add to his
resolution was substantially in the words of
the President, and no Senator on either
side-not even the Senator from New York
had undertaken 10 assert that General DE
TrObriands action was warranted by law. he
hoped that the preamble would have the
unanimous assent of the Senate.
Mr. Gordon continued his remarks at some
length, describing the wrongs which he al
legged had been committed by carpet-baggers. i
and he said since the negroes had been
turned against them the crime of rape was
so common among them that il would frenzy
the most StOlid community in the world.
Then there was talk about a new rebellion.
Rebellion by whom? By a people defence
