Mr.. Conger-I hear them now.
Mr.. Goode-You hear them then because you
last heard yourself. But turn from the gem
tleman and address myself to those who be-
lieve that the Southern and Northern States are
co-equal. He then proceeded to argue in favor
of the bill. It was not war claim. He de-
MED it, The people IF the South did not now
expect and never had expected that the losses
incurred by individuals as incidents of war
would be reimbursed to them. They had gone
into the war with their eyes wide open. They
had staked everything and lost, and they ao-
copied their losses as the fate of war.
Continuing he said: l tell the gentleman
and Congress, so far as the question of war
claims is concerned, we will give him receipt
in full and he may put in the bill that it is not
to be regarded as a recognition of war claims
so far as individuals are concerned. We will
put it on the ground that it is bill to provide
for and encourage and advance the great cause
of education in our land, and since the gentle
man has appeared here in new role to-day
and played the part of bulldozer, and has un-
dertaken to say from his place there is no man
IN the North, Republican or Democrat, who
dare-dare was the word-vote for this bill.
Heavens! "upon what meat has this our Cseser

The iberal-minded, public-spirited people of
the North, especially those who fought in the
war, would, Notwithstanding the speech Of the

and public-spirited friend from Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Monroe expressed his regret that in sup
porting the bill he found himself separated
from the majority If his political friends, but
it consistent with his political record to change
his position. He did not regard this in the
light of war claim, Whenever purely
Southern war claim came before the House he
wo uld be found resisting any such claim
Mr.. Reed reminded Mr.. Monroe that the title
of the bill showed it to be a war claim. 1t was
a bill to reimburse the college of William and
Mary.
Mr. Monroe replied he understood the title
was to be changed, and said that reminded him
of the deacon who would not drink cider as
cider, but had objection to it if it was called
apple juice.
Mr. Monroe said he did not believe in time

and making war demonstrations when men
should be sleeping quietly in their beds.
Neither was he to be bluffed on the cry that this
was entering wedge. He was the sworn en-
envy of entering wedges, and did not believe in
any such things. Naughter.)
Mr.. Tucker closed the debate with speech in
advocacy Of the bill. In regard to war claims
he declared that the people of the South were
as tired OF them as the people IF any other part
of the country, and that for himself he would
claim not based on legal and equitable groa DIS.
(Derisive laughter.)
He spoke of his grandfather having been
trained at the college of William and Mary, and
having worn the uniform of Republ SOL

She might, standing at the graves of her illus

ing, point to their tombs and their memory to
show where they have trodden fields of glory
and have rendered lustre to their country, and
she might say, 'go and follow their example,"
Mr.. Phelps moved to strike out the enacting
clause of the bill.
