SOUND VIEWs.-Judge Harris, in
opening his speech on the contested cleo
ton from Louisiana, in the House of Rep
resentatives, made the following very
timely and sensible remarks:
s'Mr. Speaker, before proceeding with
the discussion of the questions involved in
this case, hope it will not be deemed in
appropriate to refer to the angry spirit and
excit ng scenes exhibited ON this floor with
in the last few days in regard to Louisiana
and other mattert connected with the late
Presidential election, and for my self to
say [ do not think they conduce to the
public good, but are deeply to beregretted.
They shall not be revived by me, If the
country is to be kept in constant turmoil
and strife by unnecessary discussions
here, / will let the responsibility rest on
those who feel it their duty to indulge in
that line of discussion.
"The country longs for peace, quiet, and
good order 1t prays the prompt pass ge
of laws 10y Congress to restore confidence,
revive the langushing industries OF the
country, and Illus give to honest labor its
just reward, enable the husbandman to
free his mort gagged home, and so provide
bread for the mouths of the thousands Of
starving women and children throughout
our laud. These, these are what the coun-
toy needs; but they can never be secured
while those chosen as their representatives
indulge in sectional and inflammatory
speeches. The people need not be remind
ed Of their wrongs. They are quick to
perceive them, and, at the proper time,
and in the legal mode, to redress them
Let us trust to their in diligence, their pa
triotism, and all our wrongs viii be red
ressed, and the party and the persons who
committed them wilt receive their just re-
wa I'd. Let US look more to the practical
and material interests of the country, and
strive to relieve its just demands; and
then, and not till then, our duty will have
been performed"
