to short periods of time, while here IL
the north some counties were held some
times IN terror for months, and the Stat

Ice. In reply to Mr.. Garfie,d's inquiry,
as to whether the Hamburg case was
sporadic or sympathetic, he declared
that there Was not eortmtnity in the
south which had not been thrilled with
Eoffcr at such occurrences. He deemed
it wonder that society, under the ruiz
Of governments which allowed such
lawlessness to stalk abroad In the land,
did not perish. He declared that the use OF
the army had never produced q good eff
feet In such cssesj the troops always got
there after the occurrence. The use Of
military power was ineffective, cumber-
| some, slow and almost useless, and q
spite Of the good faith Of the army ON.
GERS 1t had been converted into q mons
strous engine of political oppression and
corrupt intrigue. 1t was the duty OF
Governor Chamberlain at once to adopt
measures swift and just to bring to
| justice those who shot these prisoners in
cold blood, and if he did that he should
receive his Lamar's] support and raise.
Instead Of doing so, Governor Chamber
lain had beon rushing to Washington
for the pur 70 OF making this occur
renee an o. aston for fanaticism and
strife. Arkansas was an illustration for
the last two years Of advantages of
good government under q fair and in
telligent man-Governor Garland. In
conclusion, he declared that the occur
renee at Hamburg was q Inorbific ele-
ment, not sporadic, but unnatural, and
one that would disappear Under good
government.
At the close Of the debate Mr.. Han
amendment, to the effect that no troops
shall be taken from any State or service
where the public interest requires their
continuance.
Mr.. Small accepted the substitute, and
1t was agreed to-yeas, So; nays, So.
The committee then proceeded to the
consideration of the bill authriz'ng the
President to order the troops to cross the
Rio Grande in pursuit OF the robbers of
Texas.
The debate was reopened by Mr.. Hoge,
and continued By Mr.. Cox, each speak.

Ohio, but Mr.. Hoge saying that he had

Mr.. COX retorted, with an intimation
that Mr.. Hoge needed kuapsack to
carry off all that he had picked up.
MIR. Foster called on the representa-
tves ftom Georgia to stop these Internal
outrages, and to be active In hunting
out the inhuman fiend that crossed the
bridge from Augusta to Hamburg.
Mr.. Cook-They never went from my
State.
Mr.. Foster-They did.
Mr. Cook-No; they did not.
Mr.. Foster-Do this and then sing to
US e.pangeyric on the vindication of out
ragged law, instead Of talking of your
noble blood. Aye, anobility that muir
ders in cold blood captured negro; il
you have not the ability to stop these
outrages you ere not fit to be represen-
tatives of the people of Georgia. Do it,
and we will say well done, and we will

Mr.. BANKS offered q substitute for the
second section: "That whenever it shall
appear to the President that the govern.
ment OF Mexico is unable 10 prevent
the existing lawles3 invasions of the ter
ritcry Of the United States from Mexico
for the purposes OF plumber and robbery,
he is authorized if, in his judgment, it
becomes necessary, after due notice to
the government Of Mexico, to order the
troops when in close pursuit Of such in
ysders to cross the Rio Grarl6e, aud to
use such means, not amounting to acts
of war, ss may be requisite for the re-
covery of stolen property aud to protect
the citizens and the territory of the
United States, and against the acts Of
outlaws and robbers"
Mr.. Cox resumed discussion with the
South Caroline matter, ridieuled Fos-
ter's expression about falling on the
necks of southern men, and asked him
why he had not fallen on the necks OF
Pratt, Yaryarsn, Dyer, Jewell and
others, and suggested that he would
rather fall on the necks OF ii zee,
M'Donald, Joyce, Babcock, Delano and I
Avery, and would evsn rather en- brace |
q barrel of crooked whisky. Loud |
laughter and much confusion. The Re- |
publican eide of the house hsd defended |
Grant and his administration against |
all of those men, and when the gentle
man from New York Townsend talked
30 glibly of Tweed and others wnom he
TCox1 had no association, he wanted to |
know how it was with Bsbcock, Avery,
Williams, and the rest OF these men.
Mr.. Townsend-When did you dis
solve association with them?
Mr.. Cex-I never had any connection
with them to dissolve. It wss the Re-
publican legislature, OF which you were
the great trumpeter, which helped Tweed
to his frauds in New York. Every body
knows never in my life gave voice or
q vote to help him. ..
