| 1882. In which he said. "We are told, sir,
that the President will Immediately employ
military force to blockade Charleston. ], Tor
ono, sir, shall raise my voice beforehand
against this unauthorized employment 81
military power. The President has no power
I'd blockade Charleston Or To employ the MILF
tary until he ID duly authorized by law"
This was the deliberate utterance OF one OF
the greatest If not the very greatest states
| men this country has ever produced; but the
existing election law permits mere deputy
marshal to arrest any voter without process
of law. Compare that law with Mr.. Webster 8

| long suffering people could not STAND, anu
| this was one Of them.
He said that the courts Of the United States
| In the South had for years been engaged In
perjury and subornation OF perjury. JUS.
| tice had become prostituted To the basest and
| lowest ends He illustrated the injustice Of
the law by alluding to the case Of man IN
his own State who had been sent toprlson tor
\ three years fur the crime Of eOnceallng alter
alton la election returns on the evidence oi
the party who had made the alteration; and
| In the same courtroom sat "the Little Giant
Of the Aaehua Company" the man who had
advertized his completely in gigantic fraud
| all over the world.
He spoke of Blaine's allusion to Lincoln.
| He knew that Lincoln was a good and mag
unanimous man. He would not stretch out his
| hand from the grave to censnre Southern
| men on this floor. In one of the last speeches
he had ever made, he said that the election
by the bayonets OF the Republicans in Con
gre ss would be disgraceful. All that the
military had been used for was to bring the
Southern States back into the Union. Once
there their future motives We're not TO be
questioned In conclusion Mr. Call paid 9
high tribute to the patriotism Of the Southern
people.
