1 (. A POLITICAL pIscusstoN. $ u
The House then went into Committee
Of the Whole (Mr. Monroe in the chair)
on the bill to protect the Texas frontier.
The pending question was the amend
ment offered last Saturday by Mr.. Smalls,
OF South Carolina, in connection with the
Hamburg troubles, that no troops shall
be Withdrawn from South Carolina. Mr..
Smalls advocated his amendment, and
replied 10 Mr.. Cox, who said the amend:
ment had been offered for bad political
purposes. II 1t was that gentlemans
|tMr. Cox's) custom to bring into Ithe
House, !mattets for bad political pur-
poses, It was not 80 with him 'tMr.
Smalis). He agreed with that gentle
man that the State Of South Carolina was
rotten to the core. 1t was for that reason
that he wished troops to remain there IN
order TO kill off that rottenhess. He said
la he (smalls) had given the name oil the
writer OF the letter which he had read
last Saturday, he would not give 10 cents
for that mans life. General Butler, who
was concerned in the matter, would at
once organize another bando OF ku-klu1
and hunt him down. ~ a =,
Mr.. Cox replied to Smalls and quoted
from book written by Pike, late Minis
ter TO the Hague, entitled "a PROSTATE
State. South Carolina under a negro gov
ernment," and in which members OF the
Legislature are characterized as highway,
men, professional legislative robbers and
nick pockets, who under the law rob poor
and rich alike. He spoke OF the book as
a revelation OF the blackneas OF darkness
in robbery and rascality.
Mr.. Smalls asked Mr.. Cox whether he
had got a book OF the history ot the city
Of New York. Laughter on the Re-
publican side.
Mr.. Cox replied that he belonged tC
that portion Of the Democratic party
which had driven out the rascals from
New York, and asked why they had moi
done the same in South Carolina. Ap'
plause on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Townsend admitted, ironically, thai
New York was
"a land Of pure delight, where saInt, immoral
dwell"
and he vent onto compare the popula'
! lion and debt Of South Carolina and thu
city Of New York, giving the former Al
! 706 900, with debt Of $40, 100000, anc
the latter az 942, 900, with a debt OF STA,
100000.
He spoke Of WIN. N. Tweed as thu
ruler OF the city OF New York for NOR
than twelve years, and said that during
that time, when Tammany Hall was j.
Its power and glory under Tweed
, The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Cox
brought his carpet:bag into the city o.
New York and set in down in Tamman!
Hall. and looked rpsnlilingly for the ap
: probation'of William NJ. Tweed. Laugh
ter on the Republicanside.] He aliudet
10 other lights Of Tammany Hall, Richart
B. Connolly, Peter P. Sweeney, a. J. Gar
yey, Ipgersoll, Fields, Harry Genet 30,
and spoke of the various sums which
each had stolen, and referring 10 the es
, cape Of Tweed, he. said the Governor hat
. not yet found time 10 investigate the out
. rage Of letting him escape, and that th'
; sheriff stiil'held his Office.
} Mr.. Cox replied to MI. Townsend an'
Q reminded him that II was because o
Gov. Tilden's eminent services in driyinI
out Tweed that he was now the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency. On
| fact, however, could not be got around; /
:. was too soggy TO burn and too tough I,
= split, and that was that, whereas, in New
York the authorities, Democratic ant
Republican, alike, with Gov. Tilden q
their head, punished their rascals-Soutl
Carolina and the Federal rascals still
went unconvicted in the courts. Tweet
was rascal but he had the aid Of a Re
publican Legislature. ...
As to his (Cox's) taking his caFpet.bal
from Ohio. he had always maintained th'
right Of locomotion, and he had the righ
to 20 back to New York, in sight Of hi
! grandiather's old Congressional district
he did not care where'a man was born
80 long as he was good and. just. Th'
Savior had been born at Bethlehem, ant
they all worshipped him, although h
, was foreigner in that respect. The!
did not, however, necessarily worship th'
little @ II.
AFRICAN fErlcHEs
that came from Congo, and that were hi
! colleague (Townsend'sl only devotion
, Mr.. Garfield alluded to Mr.. Cox a
trying to laugh the murder out Of th
case. He wished to know whether thC
. Hamburg case was sporadic case, or
symptomatic case, indicating a genera
, feeling that the black man shall not b
allowed all the rights and privileges o
American citizens. :.
Mr.. Lamar spoke Of the Hamburl
! affair as disgraceiul and terrible, but b
denied that It's circumstances were 10
gitimate topic 10 the House. In the de
bate there were one or two facts tia
CLEANED out disreputably. One OF then
was that body oil white men
HAD PUT TO DEATH,
without authority Of law, a number Q
colored citizens while prisoners pris
oners in the legal sense, inasmuch as thes
white men had no right 10 deprive then
, OF their personal liberty. He wished I,
say in his place that no excuse or pallia
ton could possibly be found for that out
rage and barbariSm. [Applause on Re
