PISCHBAcK RESOLUTIONS.
The Senate then took up the resolutions
for the admission Of Pinchback, and Mr..
Christiancy addressed the Senate in oppo-
sition 10 the resolutions, arguing that
Pinchback had not a prima tacie case,
and that Kellogg was not Governor Of
Louisiana de jurc. In conclusion he asked
how many Of those now supporting Pinch
back would vote for his admission il his
party affiliations were reversed.
Mr.. Howe spoke in favor Of the admis-
sion Of Pinchback.
Mr.. Morton said he desired to say a
single word in reply to the somewhat ex-
traordinnry argument OF the Senator
from Michigan. That Senator had asked
how Senator in favor OF his admission
would vote il his party affiliations were
reversed, That was in the nature oil re-
Election on the motives OF every Senator
upon this floor who supported Pinchhack.
He (Morton) with his views Of law would
vote Tor the admission ot Pinchback
il he had been sent TO Congress
by the Democrats when he 30 lar
forgot his duty us to vote iOr rejecting
the Senator on account OF politics he
would be unworthy OF seat in the Sen
ate himself. Perhaps the Senator from
Michigan thought in the vote he was
wont to give he represented the people
who sent him here. Mr.. Morton then
referred to the resolution passed at the
extra session OF the Senate last spring,
and argued that it was recognition OF
the validity OF the Kellogg government.
The Senator from Ohio lThurman)
then proposed an amendment that moth
ing herein contained shall be construed
to recognize Kellogg rs Governor dcJurc,"
but it was voted down, and among those
who voted against it was the Senator
from Michigan tChrlstianCyl.
Mr.. Thurman said the amendment was
voted down because the majority had
agreed in caucus that the resolution
sSonId he nassed without amendment.
Ar NTorton amid the senator from Ohio
knew more about Republican caucuses

into Louisiana affairs was ordered on the
18th of January. 1873. and on the 2Sd OF
