not to sustain the laws of the state and ma

Mr.. Hoar-You do not mean blacks as
well as whtes2
MIR. Banks-No 1 mean every white man.
The tame is true of other parts of the state
They are armed for the destruction of the
state government as 1t exists, and without
doubt hostile to the government of the
United States as it exists.
Mr.. Vance Of North Carolina imagined
the case of the future archmoloRist stand.
Ing before the tomb of Webster and call.
ing to mind the imperiehable words "Union
and liberty, one aud inseparable, now and
forever; and then standing before the
tomb OF Hoar and recalling the words
"ordered that evidence of fraud be not re.
csived" What an epitaph to the success
sor of Webster, Choate and Sumner. The
column should be surmounted with repre-
sentation of the stealthy fox devouring the
Louisiana pelican.
Mr.. Rainey Of South Carolina said that
while South Carolina had not been exactly
in state of anarchy, 1t had been 30 near 1t
that it was Godsend that the army did 20
down there and exert a moral influence
which had saved the lives of many men.
The colored people did not hate the demo-
cratic party, but IS long as they found
their oppressors in that party they ,rembled
with fear lest democrat should be inau-
gurated into power, ard in the name of
that people he thanked God that repub-
lican president would be inaugurated.
Loud applause.]
Mr.. Southland said under the action of
the electoral commission Hayes might be
president de facto, but president de iure
he could never be. In his view the true
remedy was the enactment into law of the
bill passed yesterday by the house that
would avoid both anarchy and revolution.
That bill meant peace and justice.
MIR. Goodin spoke in favor of acquiesc-
ence in the work of the commission, al
though he regarded it as a most unrishteous
decision, because the people would not
countenance violence or factiOus delay or
preventing the declaration of the result

and asserted that the testimony taken by
the invet tigation committee showed that OF
1888, 900 votes there had not been thirty
fraudulent votes cast in New York at the
last prudential FL cli,n, aud New York
was in no hurry to inaugurste any body
elected in different way.
| Mr.. Cocbrsne argued against the exclu.
sion of testimony in the South Carolina
case by which it would have been shown
that South Carolina had been before cleo
ton peopled with federal troops, that sol
dieFs with their bayoneis had suriouudt d
the various voting precincts and that there
had been vile conspiracy on he part of
the office holders at Washington and G ~
erDor Chamberlain and his hreli Is in
South Carolina; in fact such evidence as
W ould have nect ssilaied throwing cut the
electoral vote of South Carolina.
Mr.. Hoge, Is. CO. gave an account Of
some of his experiences in the last cam
paign in South Carolina az showing the
necessity for the presence of troops there.
His tory was laughed and jeered at on the
democratic side, particularly when he an
nounced that he represented John C.

not want any more fighting They wanted
this matter terminated here and now, and
to have Hayes who had an honest majority
of the popular vote [derisve laughter in
stalled into office on the fourth of March,
and 1t was going TO be done too.
The discussion was closed by Mr.. Teese
of New Jersey, who spoke in favor of
acquiescence.
The house proceeded to vote on the res

decision in the case of South Carolina be
not sustained and that the vote be not

Mr.. Walling moved to add to the resolu-

decision Of said commission"
Mr.. Jones offered as a substitute that the
decision be not concurred in.
MIR. Hale made point of order against
the amendment and substitute that under
the electoral law the main question must
be at once put, but the speaker overruled
it. The QUESTION was first put on ordering
the main question and it was SIX o'clock be.
fore the result was announced. While the
vote was being taken efforts were being
made by members of both sides to arrive al
some basis for compromise because it was
evident that hours would yet be consumed
in yeas and nay votes before the point of re-
assembling of the two houses in joint meet

however, having been effected, Mr.. Wall
Ing, as soon as the result of the vote order.
