The Washington National Republican
says of the speech of Senator COnkling:
"There is but one opinion regarding it
from friend or foe, and that is that he
left nothing unsaid which could or
should have been said from his stand
point; that his mastery sarcasm was as
biting as his arguments were unanswer-
able, and that he fairly won the title his
friends and admirers have long claimed
for him, TO recognition as the acknow-

MANIFEsTLY SOLID.

Can you wonder, Mr.. Conkling asked, If
the north should presently become solid ?
Do you not see that the doings now in
the two houses fill the country with
alarm and distrust as to the patriotism
of men from the south? Forty-two Dem
Ocrats have seats on this floor, or forty
three if you add the senator from Ilfi-
nois, and he does not belong to the Dem
Ocratic party, although ] say that any
Democrat who asks any more of him is
an insatiate monster. [Laughter.1 Twen-
ty'three Is clear majority of all, and
twenty-four happens to be exactly the

an assault on divine right of kings,
but on the rights of the people. Itwould
never have been inaugurated without the
action of the twenty-three southern sena-
tors here and the southern representa-
tives in the house. The northern people
know, and they see the leading control
of the Democratic party is in the hands
of the south. by their fruits We shall

Democrats from the north should go for

He would employ the northern lines as

authority. The question of extent of ma
tional authority rested somewhat on the
locus, to use legal term, in navy-yard
or other place wholly under United States
jurisdiction. The authority of the Unit
ed States to use troops to keep the peace
could never be questioned under the act
protecting elections, which gave the
United States jurisdiction in congress

that Jurisdiction was also conferred. On
to 1864 no limitations had ever been pro
posed to this constitutional right. In
1851, Gen. Schenck and other generals
Issued orders keeping certain men from
the polls, and undertaking in some sort
of way to prescribe electoral qualifica-
tons.

And of course originally inspired by the
traditions of Democracy-and he had

now read, to preserve the peace at the
polls, and suspending the habeas corpus.

Democrats discovered the enormity OF
such practices. Two or three years at
terward they resolved that the war was a
failure and hoped by the aid of their
Northern sympathizers with the rebel
lion to gain control of the government.
The man selected as their candidate was
then the same man who trampled the
right OF suffrage under foot and suspend

Saxons- Such things led to the act OF
1855, not to confer power, but to define
and restrain it. It was introduced by a
man of whom it is related that On one oc-

National legislation to provide safe
guards for free and honest elections is
necessary, as experience has shown, not
only to secure the right to vote to the en-.
franchised race at the south, but also TO
prevent fraudulent voting in the large
cities of the north. Congress has exer.
cised the power conferred by the consti-
tuition, and has enacted certain laws to
prevent discrimination on account of
race, color or previous condition of ser
vitude, and to punish fraud, violence and
intimidation at Federal elections. At
tention is called to the following sections
of the revised statutes of the United
States:
SEC. 1904. Which guarantees to all
citizens the right to vote, without dis
tinction on account of race, color, or pre-
Yious condition of servitude.
SECS. zoos and 2,OO6. Which guarantee
to all citizens equal opportunity, with
out discrimination, to perform all acts
regarded by law prerequisite or quail
fication for voting
SEC. 2,022. Which authorizes the Unit
ed States marshal and his deputies to
keep the peace and preserve order at fed
eral elections.
SEC. 2,024. Which expressly author
ICES the United States marshal and depu-
ties to summon q posse, wherever they
or any of them are forcibly resisted in
the execution of their duties under the
law, and are prevented from executing
their duties by violence.
SEC. $500. Which provides for the
punishment of the crime of interfering
with election supervisors and the depu-
ty marshals in the discharge of their du-
ties at election of representatives to con
gress. These are some of the laws on
this subject which it is the duty of the
executive department of the government
to enforce. The intent and effect of the
sixth section of this act is to prohibit all
civil officers of the United States, under
peualty of fine and Imprisonment, from
employing any adequate civil force for
this purpose at place where their en-.
forcement is most necessary, namely: at
the polls where congressional elections
are held, Among the most valuable en-
actments TO which have referred are
those which protect the supervisors OF
federal elections in the discharge oftheiE
duties at the polls. 1.-THE pending legis

closely housed in with planks.
The tanks were yesterday put to work
at hosting the water at the G. and @.

four weeks to arrange the new pumping
System. The running Of the bailing

SAN Francisco, Aug. 23.-All day
yesterday the street talk ran largely on
the expected hostilitiss between Rev. I.
8. Kalloch. the workingmsn's candidate
for Mayor. and the proprietors Of the
Chronicle. That journal continued Its
attack ON Kalloch yesterday morning.
including In its arraisnmsnt his father
before him. The programme for last
evening was that Kalloch would make a
general political harrangue at Mstropol.
tan Temple. after which he would ad.
journ the meeting to the street. and
there read the famous article on the De
Young brothers,. published in Naptha.
ly's Sun some Ave years ago. This un.
d~srstanding was sufficient to draw an
audience to the Temple which literally
packed every inch Of the auditorium.
while the street In front was allied for
nearly the entire block with the crowd.
Kalloch's indoor speech dwslt at some
length with general political issues and
closed with an attack Of the most bitter
and personal character on the propris.
tors OF the Chronicle. The enthusiasm
Of the crowd was such that Il wa with
difficulty that the speaker could proceed.
After the adjournment be made bis up.
psarance outside. and was greeted with
tremendous cheers. He addressed the
crowd, briefly a%iluding to the attacks
upon him by the Chronicle, and saying
that Its assaults upon the memory Of his
father was his justification. He applied
to its proprlstors an spithst in which
was concentrated the whole auimus OF
the Sun article. he said he had . copy
OF that article In his pocket tories Of
Tread Il" tread It," but did not wish
to expsnd all his ammunition at once.
The article would be r~epublished imms-
in the Open Letter. and next Tues
day evening he would take It up and
upon 1t. After q few general
he dismissed the audience,
which quietly dispersed. It Is quite
likely that serious trouble may snsus
the matter at issue Is brought to
q conclusion.
