DISCUSSION OF TIE EEEAoGG CASE.
Mr.. Bayard opened the discussion of the
kellogg case, showing that the decision OF
the Commission was only that the Constitu-
ton did not permit them to inquire whether
the Returning Board was legal or not, and
that they must assume it was legally consti-
tuted, and had acted according to Law in
counting the votes for electors. That deci-
sion, therefore, does not, in law or logic,
bind any senator in passing upon the Gre
dentials Of Kellogg. - $500 /
Mr.. Bayard quoted President Hayes's re-
marks upon the necessity and right OF self
government for the southern States, and OF
justice to all sections and peoples. He said
they are wise words, and met his ready and
hearty approval. "Who shall oppose
policy which they express t7 II this is to
be a race OF who is to be the wisest and
most just, he proposed to enter that race.
In Blaine's speech Bayard said he recog
nized the old cry for revival OF sectional
luminosity, and it came to him like fre-bell
in the night. ... H..a
Blaine arraigned Bayarsf for partisanship
in the Commission, and, sneering at his con-
sisteney. said be would not receive advice
from such source. And the Republican
party could not afford to deny the right OF
Packard after upholding the right Of Hayes
and Wheeler. He said he had asked yes
terday who dared to make any arrangement
com promising the right Of Packard and
Chamberlain. 6. To-day the answer came
from South Carolina. He then produced
telegram from Chamberlain to Corbin,
stating that Haskell, had arrived at Colun1-
bia with authority from Evarts and Stanley
Matthews to request him (Chamberlain) to
retire his claims for the good OF the nation
Chamberlain protested that he was not act
ing for himself, and desired Corbin to in
quire and telegraph him tonight by whose
authority Matthews and Evarts made the
suggestion. The telegram produced ~
A SENSATION, IN THE SENATE,
and Blaine seized the opportunity to repeat
the warning Of yesterday, and declared that
whoever might desert the brave and true
white and black men VIII o had suffered OPP
preston and persecution in the South he
would stand up for their rights. He would
not desert them at the bidding of Evarts OF
Matthews, or anybody else. ~. ~. :.
The galleries cheered Blaine several times,
and appeared particularly pleased with this
last sentiment. 49,
Senator Anthony Immediately rose and
gave notice that he would move to have the
galleries cleared If such demonstrations
were repeated. ... .,..
Morton reviewed the. election-law OF
Louisiana as bearing upon the election o!
Kellogg, and claimed his lawful election
He made no reference to the Commission OF
to the title of Hayes, but charged that the
Louisiana Democrats had tried to carry the
State by murder and fraud, and that the
Returning Board had only deprived the
Democrats of the fruits OF crime and muir

His case will probably so to the Commit.

be seated until some ugly things have been
put on record about him.

shaped his administratl lon Of southern affairs
and made it a failure lamentable: South
and disastrous to the Republican party.
