had not been so much affected by the dry

Mr.. James Robertson, a very worthy clti-
Zen Of this county, residing near Mount

John Elliott died at his home, near Pleasant

Ii was very patent that there was much

and bearing on the revenue were required
to be originated in the House. Tbe House
was right in insisting that these obiec-
tionable measures should be repealed.
He should not speak to-day Of The
test-oath bill, but only OF the two
measures that relate TO elections, be-
cause they were both governed by the
same principle, and both must be settled by
the same constitutional doctrines. The
House insisted that the lazy shonld be
amended so as to prohibit the use OF troops
at the polls, and so that supervisors OF elee-
tions appointed by Federal authority should
no longer possess their present powers, and
that there should be repeal Of all statutes
comforting on such officers The power to in
terfere with or regulate State elections. The
House was right IN that demand. First. be-
| cause these provisions Of law were uncon-
stitutlonal. They interfered with the right
| OF suffrage, and with tie State laws. The
second section Of the Constitution declared
that the House should be composed
OF members chosen by the people
Of the several States, and that the
electors should have the qualifications re-
quisite for electors OF the most numerous
branch Of the State Legislature. 1t was,
therefore, the most numerous branch Of The
State Legislature that determined the quail
ncatlon Oh electors, and not tue COnstltu-
ton OF the United States. There was no
such thing as the right OF suffrage for cit
iZcn Of the United States. The right OF
suffrage was possessed and enjoyed under
the laws Of the States. expressly recognized
by the fundamental law OF the land. 7 he
Supreme Court bad recently So decided.
On what theory. then, did this legislation
rest? On what theory did the Govern
ment send troops to the polls at State
elections? Only on the theory that the
right OF suffrage was right guaranteed By
the Constitution OF the United States, and
that it was the business OF Congress to pro-
icct that right. lie had shown. however,
by the express phraseology OF the Consttu-
ton and by tie decision OF the Supreme
Court, that no such right did exist under
the Constitution, and therefore the consc-
quence was inevitable and irresistible that
any legislation or the subject was uGconsti.
tutional. lie argued earnestly against the
presence of troops at the polls, which lie
said was but a simple step from the control
OF elections by troops.
The House adjourned at 5 P. NJ. Tie
debate will be resumed tomorrow.
