Tor the reporters WIS unIaSOfaDe u u Iul near
ing Of Mr., Booth. as it invariably is for hearing
most of what transpires in the House, and there
fore only u meagre sketch Of his speech can be-
given. He had Just heard, from distinguished
source, that tho Conservatives could not succeed
in this proceeding, because Kellogg and War
moth were at that moment clDsetod. He Knew of
no Inference hetwecn the two, and their fraterni
zation was omnous Of no good. AS to the compro
misc which had been invoked TO shield Kellogg he
but without disresped 10 those who differed
with him. in that matter, he spat upon tint first
and he spat upon il now. II WIS a failure and n
fraud. Tho republicans bad assisted in the
passage Of roform measures In the House,
whore their assistance was not needed. but they
had done nothing in the Senate whore their help
was needed! No wonder gentlemen like Mr..
wore boiling over with indig iation at the per,
fidy Of those who had deceived them. They held
in the Senate the reforms passed by the House
as hostages 70 compel subinission to their ini-
quitous Returning Board. Tho House
had done It's duty. Who were the
In Louisiana? The Republican
party held the State as tool IN its bands ,r its
thcmseives Of the prejudices Of an ignorant and
credulous class. used them against their best
friends the Southern people. to bcget strife Mr..
booth argued that Kellogg had done nothing 10 !

Mr.. BOoth-Yes; he sent public message. !
with private request to pay no attention to 1t,
The people wanted results, not messages. !
Mr. Kellogg might have cOndoned his iniquitics |
had he shown any purpose OF promoting the |
public welfare. but his insincerty was patent |
