pressed their Willingness to take the respon-
sibility.

IN THE SENATE.
Senator Davis, [W.Va.l, from the commit
tee on appropriations, stated that the COM
mittee had not been able, in view of the state
of business before the senate, to report the
resolution fixing the date of adjournment,
bnt he hoped to be able to do so soon.
Senator Salisbury, from the committee on
privileges and elections, reported resolution
authorizing that committee to investigate
the memorials relating to the election of
Senator Ingalls,, and to appoint a sub-com-
mittee to take testimony In Kansas or else
where, to ait during the recess, and to EN-
ploy clerks, etc. 1t was placed on the
calendar.
Senator Allison offered resolution, which
was adopted, directing the secretary of state
to c0nniunicat9 to the senate 6 copy OF the
proceedings and the accom- panying papers of
the international silver conference at Paris.
Senator Rollins presented the credentials
Of Senator Henry w. Blair IN. 81. |, and he
was sworn in.
Senator Salisbury, from the committee on

ton authorizing the committee to Investigate
the memorials of Senator Ingalls's contested
elected case. Placed On the calendar.
Senator Wallace rose to a privileged ques-
ton and presented a report rom the confer
ence committee on the Judicial expenses bill,
and asked for its present consideration.
Senator Conkling said he did not know how
far the committee had confined themselves
to the adjusting OF the disagfeelng vote. He
objected to considering the report in view of
the understanding on the army bill. 1t an
other Misunderstanding arose by reason OF
crowding cut debate, then the Republicans
would not be TO blame.
Senator Wallace, alter an animated discus
sion, withdrew the report.
Senator Carpenter made speech on the
army bill. He said that the army IN time oil
peace was police force, and any use of Il
was its use as poiiceforce. The intent of the
bill was plain. 1t was to prevent any use of
it whatever on election day, and 1t forbade
the President to respond to the call of a State
for aid. The grand and conclusive objection
to it is that it is intended to, and in my
opinion, it is cunningly constructed to mix in
with provisions of law on this sub
ject. It does forbi4 the President to preserve
| the peace on election day. If we are wrong
about this, the senator from New York

i ments, which will make it perfectly plain
whether the other side mean what | think

The President may have use of the appropria

one senator tVoorheesl that on that day

Well, if the people are all there and will see *
1t, is there any danger that twenty soldiers

prime Object Of the military is toe preserva

Why will they insist that on one day of tn

violence, is trihing with the good sense G
| every man.
Senator Ingalls, thought the conciliator
policy inaugurated by the President towar
the south had been badly rewarded by tn
course taken by that section. The last yes
tige of national intervention had been with
drawn from southern affairs. He denie
that there had ever been any military inter
ference in elections, and said the use by til
| Democrats of the military in Kansas did NOR
to weaken that party than any other of thei
actions. The Republicans had never felt anx
ious to follow that example. Continuing, b
said there was force In this country whic
had been ignored in this debate. 1t was ths
of the people to whom was reserved all right
not delegated to the government. The Poop
who amended the constitution when it di
not carry out their views amended it peace
fully when they could and by war when drive
to it. That people would sit In Judgment o
the present actions of the majority. He d.
MED that there was any bitterness In til
north against the southern people, and dive
at length upon the negro exodus as proof I
southern intimidation of the Republica
blacks.
Senator Vest declared that the negrot
were deceived by false representations
government support, and sent to the clerk
desk and had read circular by one Lycargl
Jones, intended for circulation among Il
blacks, promising them government suppo
in Kansas, and saying that congress intende
to deprive them of their freedom.
Senator ingalls, pronounced the circular
forgery. invented for the pupose to which
had Just been put.
| Considerable debate ensued, duriI
which the southern exodus and the Louisial
State affairs were quite thoroughly di
