MR. BAULSBURT oRArEs.
MAaH1S07oN, D. c., Jan. l6.-In the Senate
to-day unfinished business, bong the resolution
| OF MI. schutz instructing the judiciary Commit-
tee to inquiry "hat legislation by Congress is
necessary to secure to tbe people Of Lonisinna
their rights Of self-gove1n1nent under the Con-
ssltutlon. etc-, was resumed, and 1lt. SALISBURY
concluded bis argument, which he began yester-
dav. Referring to the events which took nlaco
in Nov Orleans On tho morning Of The 4th inst..
he eald 1t Was only By permission Of Kellogg tbat
members ct the Legislature could enter the State
House. He argued that the organization
o. the hegs1at9re under Witt was perfectly le
bers, Democrats and Republicans took the oath.
recognizing Wiltz az Speaker.
/: 11r. Sherman said as he understood the facta
no Republican members had been sworn in bY
Wi}tz. 40 -
Mr: Gordon said he had positive information
that 102 members Of the LeSSisla1ure bad been
sworn in by Wil.z.
Mr. Salisbury, resu1ning,. a1guod that there
was i 1apid tendency toward central |
that the States we're to be- depleted !
OF the rights guaranteed them under tha Con- |
stitution- The Republicans argued that Witz |
was not elected Speaker OF the Louisiana House /
Of Representa- ives, because the CLERK of tho old
House did not put the motion. In Louisiana
there wes nothing in the constitution requiring
the clerk OF tue old House to o7gnnizo the sue
ceediug one- It was simply matter of statute |
law. he would say frankly that be was pleased
"AtA kAo +bA0 u kuo IG9blueQt6 mE983Ee. He |
had heard murmeriugs OF discomfort in t1,a lind. |
he referred to the speech made By tho Senator
from Illinois Uogan). It Was not IN argument:
1t was denunciatory OF tho Democratic party; an
exhibition of the skull and cross-bones. Com
mon rumor said this exhibition of tho death'a
bead, etc.. Was IN effort to prepare the public |
mind for the Republican party'B taking military
possession OF Lou1siann. Mississippi, Arkansas
and Alabama, and be did not know how many !
more Southern Suites, and to compel them to

lentiai election.
Mr. Conkling said the remarks Of the Senator
.eml1ded him Of certain newspaper enterprises |
where the Newspapers sometimes had news e1-
usiVe. The Senator mas the only ouo who had
ho news that these States we're to be taken pos
ession of bJ the military power. t
Mr. Salisbury said it the Senator iutimAted he !
oncocted this story, it was false. ..
4r. conkling said II the Senator had heard :
a.g greater than any other Senator. Ho c
i'd not say that the Senator had con- | I
octed the story, therefore the remark !,
g (saulsbu1y) made in reply WAS exceedingly y
ut OF place. the Senator wished to put upon
i'm an afront BY the use OF dlscourteous lau- q
uage, he (Conkling) would not avoid any occa- G
ion he might seek Of that kind. He would eay T
} the Senator If he could not observe good man
ers and decency in debate, he would not shrink :,
ON entering upon contest eyen With the 8an. tt

6ensive The remarks he made. b.
Mr. Salisbury said be inforred TINT Senator ii

lmor in circulation. When tho Senator f,nm | 81
ew York rose in his place and said be (saula- m
lrv) put such rumor in circulation he would re- 10
mt it. Ho had not offered an indigaity to the tt
'nator, but, 80 help him God. no Senator 81
lould offer m aHront to him. II the Senator |
d not intend IN insult he uas so1ry for what sr
said but he would not tamelv submit to what dt

sired to make reply, he could do it nov OF
ceaftor in his OWL way,
&r. Salisbury then concluded his speech, /
