speeches In the House to-day we're not OF spe-
cial importance, and were made more for home
consumption than for effect upon the House OF
galleries Mr. Price, Of Iowa, IN very careful
and earnest speech opposed the political :egisla-
ton, and ar1aiened the Democratic party He
commented specially upon the speech Of Black
burn, which he characterized as manly, and us
showing the North plainly what the Southern
people intend. Steele, Of North Carolina, de-
Tended the South from the charges OF fraud and

the chair ia headlong and fmpassioned haste to
denounce with fiery defamation the Republic
ans who insist upon claiming that he had said
such thing. He entered into an elaborate IT.

cessful as he was yesterday in convincing the
Republicans that any changes he made, or ill.,
tended, modified the essential meaning Of the
declaration. In fact, driven into q corner BY
Of Ohio, whom he arraigne1 yester-
duy, Blackburn admitted that he
CHANGED HIS SPEECH
In some respects before it appeared In the Con-

altered when published In pamphlet
form by the insertion OF the important word
