Submitting some remarks.
In the discussion Of the Louisiana case
Mr.. Bayard said that il there ever wAa
u time when il was for the interest Of the
commonwealth that this discussion should
end surely the time had come. The nj.
fairs OF Louisiana had, in the minds Of
the American people, received an ahso-
lutte and final settlement. lie (Bayard)
knew how nearly balanced the politica!
power in the Senate stood, aud yet liz
begged the Senators 10 believe him VIXEN
he declared that he would not by any
question give the weight OF his little
finger to obtain power for the party with
which he acted. That man was blind
who didn't sec that the drift of public
opinion in this country was against all
political scheming. Did not the interest
ot this country require that the best enei
Gies OF every Senator should be bent in
behalf Of the people and that those pas,
sions aroused by party strife he hushcd.
There was no need Of further argument;
there was no need OF further evidence in
this Louisiana case. Senator'S could not
turn their backs 10 facts which no one DE-,
MED.
