Christiancy's substitute for Morton's
Bloody Shi {.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The follow
ing is the proposition offered BY Chris
tiancy, and accepted BY Morton, as II
substitute for the latters resolution on
the Mississippi election: Whereas, 1t is
alleged that the late election in Missls-
sppi in 1875, for members of Congress
and State officers and member. OF the
Legislature, was characterized by
great fraud committed on and
violence exercised towards the colored
people OF that State, and while the
citizens disposed to support their rights
at the elections, and especially that the
colored voters, on account of their race,
color or previous condition of servitude,
were BY intimidation and force deferred
from voting or compelled to vote con-
trary TO their wishes for candidates and
for the support Of parties to whom they
were opposed, and their right 10
a free exercise OF the elective franchise,
as secured by the fifteenth amendment
to the constitution thus practically denied
and violated, and that uch.intimadation
has been since continued for the purpose
of affecting future elections, and
WHEREAS The people Of the United
States have an interest in
and right to insist on
the enforcement OF this constitutional
amendment and Congress having power
to enforce it by appropriate legislation
cannot properly neglect the duty of pro-
yidtng the necessary legislation for this
purpose: therefore
Resoived, That committee OF five
Senators be appointed by the Chair to
investigate the truth Of these allegations
aud to inquire bow far these constitutional
right have in said electiont been violated
bv force, fraud or intimidation, and 10
inquire and report to the Senate before
the end Of the present session, whether
any, and if so, what further legisla-
ito. is necessary 10 secure To said colored
citizens the free enjoyment OF their con-
sltutioRal rights, and that said commit
tee he empowered to visit said State and
send for persons and papers TO take tes-
timOny on oath, and TO use all necessary
process for this purpose.

that gentlemans latin quotation, "7imeO
Danass ct doaa ferentes," the free inter-
probation
Democratic Rags are Better Than Re-
publican silver.

Mr.. Randall, chairman Of the Commit
tee en- Appropriations, closed the debate
with speech in favor Of the bill. The
chief objection which had been made 10
the substitution of silver coin for frac-
t:onal currency were: first, that it would
be depreciation of the currency, and
second, that the value OF. silver
might be such that green backs would
depreciste TO point that could render it
profitable te mel; or export silver coin,
and that the people might thereby be
put to serious Inconvenience for the
want Of change. The frst OH ctiofs were
readily answered. There was no prop
ositlon to depreciate silver coin. On the
contrary the bill provided fer the issue
of silver coin of the same
weight and purity as had been
issued by the mint since 1853.
In fact the coins proposed to be issued
would be slightly more valuable than
those coined from 1858 to 1868, rs the
object was t6 make the silver dollar con-
form to the weight and balance of the five
franc piece. The position drawn by the
gentleman as 10 the injury to the poor
IRON the substitution OF silver tor paper
currency was highly overcharged.
He Randall thought that these coins
would maintaln purchasing power equal
with legal tenders or even with gold for
small payments. After the limit of sub
stltutlon would be reached then no
further issue of silver coin could DO
made except exchangeacle at par in
gold. The entire amount of silver
coin proposed would be needed, and
ac .ualIy employed as change. Money
eng only procurable from the mints for
gold com at par, redundancy would be
impossible. This check and the amount
for which silver coin should be legal
tender, would ettectually check any Of
the evils predicted, and no
loss could result to the people,
as silver coin would be
current at its nominal value. What was
proposed t. be issued was not
debased com, sS spoken OF by
the gentleman from New York, but coin
OF standard value, of authorized weight
and purity, and more valuable
than that issued by most countries
OF Europe. As to the second
objection that silver co n might not re-
main out on account OF an increased
value in gold premium or in silver pre-
mum or in 9th he would be gratifiei
if some process of law could be enscted
which would appreciate green backs, or if
such condition OF trade could
be reached rs could produce
the same result, for their silver coin
would certainly remain out in the alb
sence OF such condition of things.
Some risk must be encountered, but be.
tore adjournment OF this session the sue
cesS or failure of the undertaking would
be settled, and if there were any eI rors
it could be easily corr ected.
Various amendments were offer
ed by MessrS. Wells, OF Missouri,
Holman, Townsend, New York and
others. The Committee then rose and
reported the bill and amendments with
the understanding that five minute
debates will bo allowed i'll Inc House and
vote be taken on eucn amendment.
