Senator Salisbury said that he di,

Smalls, CT South Carolina, in connec.
ton with the Ham burg troubles, that no
troops shall be withdrawn from South
Carolina. -
Mr.. Smalls advocated his amendment.
and replied to Mr.. Cox, who said fhe
had been offered for a had
political purpose. II 1t was that pen.
tleman's custom to bring tin the honse
matters for bad politio<aI purposes, il was
not so with him ,smaIls. he agreed
HiIn that ge-stisman that the State of
,o1tn Cs -olins was rotten to the core,
, !. :. was for that reason he wished
q troops to Iemain there. He said If
he t5msllsl 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. General But
Ter, who was concerned in the matter,
would at once organize another band Of
kukIux and hunt him down.
Mr.. Cox replied to Mr.. Smalls, and
quoted from book written by Mr..
Pike, late minister to the Hague, enti-
tied 4 Pr strdte STATE: South Carolina
under O. Negro Government, and in
which the member of the legislature are
rs highwaymen, pro-
fessional legislative robbers, pickpock-
cts, who, under law, rob poor and rich
alike. He spoke Of the book as 'a rev.
elation of the blackness of darkness in
robbery and rascslity."
Mr.. Smalls asked Mr.. Cox whether he
had got book of the history of the city
of New York. Laughter on the Re-
publican side.
Mr.. Cox replied that he belonged to
that portion of the Democratic perty
which had driven ont the rascaIs from
New York, and asked why they had not
done the same In South Carolina. APP
plause on the Democratic eide of the
house.
Mr.. Townsend admitted, ironically,
that the city of New York was land Of
pure light, where saints immortal dwelt,
and he went on to compare the popula- |
lion and debt of South Carolina and the |
city of New York, giving the former as
seven huadred and five thousand, with |
D debt of ten million dollars, and the |
latter rs nine hundred and forty.two |
with a debt of one hundred |
and fourteen millions. He spoke Of |
VIM. NJ. Tweed as a ruler Of New York |
Tor twelve years, and said that during |
that time, when Tammany hall was in |
lis power and glory, under which the |
gentleman from Ohio Mr.. Cox brought |
bis little carpetbsg into the city Of New
York, set 1t down in Tammany hall,
and looked up smiliDgly for the appro-
patton of VIM. NJ. Tweed. Laughter
On the Republican side He alluded to
the other lights of Tammsny hall,
Richard B. Connolly, Peter B Sweeney,
A. ]. Garvey, Ingersoll, Fields, Harry |
Genette, ETC., and spoke of the various
sums which each had stolen; and re-
'erring to the escape of Tweed, he said
that the governor had not yet found
time to investigate the outrage OF letting
him escape, and that the sheriff still
held his Office.
Mr.. Cox replied to Mr.. Townsend, and
him that it was because of
Governor Tilden's eminent services in
driving out Tweed that he was now the
Democratic candidate for the Presiden-
by. One fact, however, could not be
