xLIVTH CONGRESS--First Session.
WAsHISGToN, August 8, 1876.
SENATE.
The legislative conference committee re-
ported that they were unable to agree. The
Senate insisted on its points OF difference,
and appointed new committee. They will
report concurrence on the part OF the House
tomorrow, and the bill will pass.
The Hamburg document debate was re-
sumed.
Mr.. Patterson closed his speech by de-
claring that there had been more men MUIR
dered in the South for opinions sake since
the war than were killed on the Federal
side in any battle during the war.
Mr.. Eaton, Of Connecticut, said he
had the pleasure Of stating yesterday
that the election in Alabama on Mon
day was quiet. Since then he had
received telegram from the chairman
OF the State Democratic Committee an
nouncing the election throughout the State
was fair, and there was not complaint OF
intimidation.
Mr. Spencer, OF Alabama, said there were
counties in the State heretofore Republican
which went Democratic on Monday, and
the reason Of it was that colored men had
been inundated and kept away from the
polls. Adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The bill giving $50 month to the wife Of
Captain Yates, who was killed with Custer,
was passed.
In. 3ro,, k1>,
mittee on the legislative, executive, and jul
dietary appropriation bill, reported that the
committee had been unable to agree upon
the bill as whole. He said the committee
had agreed upon every point except IS to
the compensation OF the President and Of
the representatives and senator's. He moved
new conference, and expressed the opinion
that the committee would be able to agree
finally.
The following was thereupon offered:
"Whereas the Senate has refused to yield
the existing differences between the two
Houses on the legislative, executive, and
judicial appropriation bill, which differ
ences relate to the salaries Of members OF
Congress and Of the President; and where
as we are appraised that any further confer
ence on the subject will be useless, and can
make no change in the determination OF the
Senate; therefore
nrReSoLued, That the conierees OH the
part OF the House be and they are hereby
Instructed to recede from such points OF
disagreement"
The resolution was agreed to, and the
conference committee reappointed.
The political debate was resumed. Mr..
Hoar, OF Massachusetts,, commenced by
commenting on Mr.. Lamar's speech. He
said: "However covered in phllosophlc
guse, or however concealed by calmness or
apparent impartiality, it was in full accord
with the uniform tone OF the Democratic
press, North and South, and in full accord
with the uniform current Of speech that
prevailed among that gcntleman's colleagues
whenever questions relative to the position
OF the South had arisen.'
That speech, he said, was bitter invec-
tive against the Government under which
the gentleman lived, and OF whose magma
nimitv that gentleman was conspicuous
instance. He trusted that the people OF the
North would read that speech, and would
Judge by it Of the expediency OF commit
ting the Government to the Democratic
party. In proof OF the corruption during
the administration Of Washington, John
Adams, and Jefferson, he cited some Illus
trious instances.
MIR. Hooker, of Mississippi, followed. His
speech was much praised. He said he mad
vet to hear one man, woman, or child In
Mississippi express desire that the condl-
ton of the colored race should again be
changed. The people OF the South accepted
that result with the frankness and sincerity
with which they had accepted the other re-
suits OF the war. They had imperilled all to
save their honor. They had lost all when
the war closed. But they were prepared to
stand by the result, while Republican
politicians who had shouldercd no
musket and drew no sword wanted
to keep alive the luminosity, the blood
shed, the ranking, and the bitter spirit OF the
war, for the purposes Of stirring up ami
mostly between the southern whites and
blacks for political purposes. They at
temptedto do so by sending emissaries there,
who Mt midnight held their meetings with
the colored race, and told them they would
again be thrown into slavery II they
voted the Democratic ticket. But now
things were changing, and the colored men
were beginning to find out who were their
friends, and they had helped to roll up a
Democratic majority Of $4,000 in Alabama.
There was no friend Of the colored race
truer or more honest than their old mas
! tiers.
Mr.. snalls, OF South Carolina: "That is
not So"
Mr. Hooker: 'Tlat is your opinion. ]
never expected that any white Republican
or any colored politician would acknowledge
it."
Mr.. Smalls: "If you keep the kuklux
back not one will vote the Democratic tick
et.'
MIR. Hooker: "They have voted it in my
State, and will do it again."
Mr.. Smalls II you withdraw the ku-
klux they will not"
Mr.. Hooker: "That is all nonsense and
the country knows it is nonsense Laugh
teri He went on to say that there was nc
| such thing as intimidation anywhere in Mis-
| sissippi. and that in many counties in that
State there were colored Democratic clubs:
when any outrage did occur every good
citizen in the South reprobated II
as clearly, as unequivocally, and a
boldly as any northern man. DID
gentlemen on the Republican side think
That there was no common feeling OF hll,
manity in the South2 II that were so tne
mere question OF interest would forblG
southern men taking their shot-guns and
