Mr. Gordon called up his resolution
ofinstruction to the Finance Committee
10 ascertain what amendments are
necessary to the Internal Revenue
laws to secure the better collection Of
the tax on spirits, and to prevent q re-
currence Of the frauds thereon. He
submitted an amendment to the resolu-
tion, and said he did not intend to re-
feet on the Internal Revenue officers,
but on the system.
The amendments which he proposed
were radical. He believed that had
they been adopted three years ago even
Joyce would have been compelled to
act an honest man, and the distillers
would have been compelled to pay all
taxes. II they had been in operation

read the resolution passed by the Geor..
gia Legislature, affirming the rights OF
the colored people under the constitu-
ton and laws.
Mr.. Morton said the resolutions were
entirely silent as to the allegations, OF
Mr.. Toombs Of bribery and intimidation
in the State Of Georgia, and that he
(Toombs) was a party to 1t.
Mr. Gordon said he did not doubt that
Mr.. Toombs had given money, and he
did not doubt that the Senator (Morton)
had given money at every election IN
Indiana. [Applause. -,
Mr.. Morton said he had never paid
said ne had done. Did the Senator
deny that the election In Georgia had
been carried by bribery and intlmida'
ton? at#
Mr.. Gordon said he did deny it. He
did not know what Mr.. Toombs' per.
sonal experience was, but he did know
that colored people marched to the polls
with Democratic badges on their lap
Mr.. Morton said he believed what Mr.
Toombs had said. Robert Toombs was
the most distinguished and the most
popular Democrat in Georgia, and wher
he made the allegations as to the bribery
and intimidation he was applauded.
Mr.. Morton read further from the
speech OF General Gordon that, "Yor
the people OF Georgia. have to meet tht
world, the flesh and the Senator from
Indiana" The Senator (Gordon) hac
carefully excepted the Devil as one Of
the enemies Of the Georgia Democracy

one of the best friends OF the Georgia
Democracy. He had assisted very much
In building up its great order, the ku
