spicy Debate in Congress-. .
WASHINGTON December h.-There
was very exciting debate in the U.
S. Senate over Senator Thurman's
resolution asking the. Executive for
information as to the action of the
military in Louisiana.
Mr.. West, OF Louisiana, maintained
that the State affairs in Louisiana
were such as to make the presence of
United States troops there absolutely
necessary.
The President might make some
mistakes, but he never made q milf
tary mistake, as gentlemen on the
other side know.
Mr.. Gordon, of Georgia, said he
could not hold his voice when the
people whom he loved were held up to
the gaze of the civilized world as mul- =
derers and assassins.
He had hoped this feeling of hate
was dying out. If it will be again
stirred up this way then we had better
know there is nothing left for us but to
die. But he did not believe that the
great Northern people would sanction
such q policy. He did not believe
| that these brave men cOincided in the
sentiments expressed on the floor. No
| people in the world had been more
cruelty misrepresented and misjudged
than the people of the South.
Never since the close of the war has
a single white man In the South
raised his arm in opposition to the
Federal Government, and yet the
South is constantly branded as hostile
to the Government. The carpet-bag-
gers who talk about disorder in the
South, who cry peace, do not want
peace. They desire murder. The
Senator from Indiana says the whole
South is armed. This is not so. There
is not man armed now where a
thousand were armed before the war.
More than one-half of the white popu-
lation of the South have no arms
whatever, not even old-fashioned shot
guns. Mr.. Gordon, in conclusion, ex-
pressed his conviction that the people
of the North could not be rallied to
this new persuasion of the south. He
had come here with his heart full of
goodwill to every person of the
country, and the expression of the
same feeling from all the people of his
faith was as strong as it was on the
throne of the great Jehovah; that
right, truth and justice will yet pre-
vail; and that the people of the North
and the South will stand together on
common ground for the common good
of the whole country. - @N1
Mr.. Flanagan, of Texas, said that
not half of the truth had been told
about the outrages and murders in the
South. He had, lived in the South
longer than the Senator from Georgia,
and knew as much about is. He had
no faith in q democrat-never make a
