Mr.. Kelly introduced bill tor tht
coinage of the standard dollar, weight
4l23 grains, as provided for in the act o
the 18th of January, 1887, and to make
it legal tender for all debts, public anc
private. Referred.
The Senate concurrent resolution
making special committee of the two
Houses on the Coolie question joint
committee, was concurred in.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole, Mr.. Monroe in the chair
on the bill to protect the Texas frontier.
The pending question was the amend
ment offered last Saturday, by Mr.
Smslls, of South Carolina, in connection
with the Hamburg troubles, that nc
troops shall be withdrawn from South
Carolina. Mr.. Smalls advocated his
amendment, and replied to Mr.. Cox, who
said the amendment had been offered
for bad political purposes. If it was
that gentleman custom to bring into
the House matters for bad political pur.
poses, it was not so with him. [Smalls.
He argued with that gentleman that the
state of North Carolina was rotten To
the core. II was for that reason he
wished the troops to- remain there,
IN order to lop oil that rottenness,
He SAID if he [Smalls] had given the
name of the writer of the letter which he
had read last Saturday, he would not
give ten cents for that mans life. Gen.
Butler, who was concerned in the matter,
would at once organize another band of
kuklux, and hunt him down.
Mr.. Cox replied to Smalls and quoted
from book written by Pike, late minis
ter to The Hague, entitled ga PROSTATE
State; South Carolina Under a Negro
Government" and in which, members
of the Legislature are characterized as
hlghwaymen, professional legislative
robbers and pickpockets, who, under the
law, rob the poor and rich alike. lie
spoke of the book as revelation of
blackness, of darkness in robbery and
rascality.
Mr.. Smalls asked Mr.. Cox whether he
had got book of the history of the City
of New York. Laughter on the Repub-
licsn side.
Mr.. Cox replied that he belonged to
that portion of the Democratic party
which had driven out the rascals from
New York, and asked why they had not
done the same in South Carolina. APP
plsuse on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Townsend, admitted, IRONICALLY,
that the city of New York was land Vi
pure delight, where saints immortal
dwell; and he went on to compare the
population and debt OF South Csrolins,
and of the city OF New York, giving the
former 705,000 inhabitants with debt of
$l0,0OO,00O, and the latter of $4,000
population, with debt of $4,000, 900.
He spoke of VIM. NJ. Tweed MS ruler Of
New York city for more than twelve
years, and said that during that time,
when Tammsny Hall was in its
power and glory, under Tweed, the
gent from Ohio (Cox) brought his lit
tie carpet-bag into the city of New
York; set it down in the Tammany hall,
and looked up smilngly for the appro.
baton of VIM. NJ. Tweed. Laughter
on the Republican side He alluded TO
other lights of the Tammany Hall,
Richard B. Connolly, Peter B. Sweeney,
A. J. Garvey, lngersoIl, Fields, Harry
Genet &c, and spoke of the various
sums which each had stolen, and re-
ferring to the escape of Tweed, he said,
the governor had not yet found time 10
investigate the outrage of letting him
escape, aud that the sheriff still held his
office.
Mr.. Cox replied TO Mr.. Townsend, and
reminded him that it was because OF
Gov. Tilden's eminent services IN driving
out Tweed that he was now the Demo.
cratic candidate for the Presidency. One
fact, however, could not be got around,
it was too saggy to burn and too tough
TO split, and that was that, where, AS IN
New York, the authorities, Democratic
and Republican alike, with Gov. Tilden
at their head, punished their rascsls,
South Carolina, and her Federal rascals,
still went unconvicted in the courts.
Tweed was rascal, but he had the
aid OF u Republican legislature. As TO
his [Coxl taking his carpet-bag from
Ohio, he mad always maintained the
right of locomotion; and he had the
right TO go back to New York in sight of
his grandfather's old Congressional Dis
trict. He did not care where man was
born, SO long as he was good and just.
The Saviour had been born at Bethlehem,
and they all worshIpped him, although
he was foreigner IN that respect. They
did not, however, necessarily worship the
little African feliches that came from
Congo, and that were his colleiguys
Townsend's only deyotioR. Laughter
Mr.. Garfield alluded TO MIR. Cox as
trying TO laugh the murder out of the
case. He wished 10 know whether the
case was n sporadic case OF
or Il systematic case, indicating
q general feeling that the black men
shall not be allowed sll the rights and
Of American citizens.
Mr.. Lamar spoke Of the Ham
burg affair as disgrsceful and
and terrible, but he denied that its cir
were a legitimate topic in the
House in debate. There were one or two
