FORTY sixth CONGRESS-.
Extra Session. e,
The Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Scnator Lamar, from
the committee on the judiciary, reported House
bill amendatory Of the law concerning punish
monts for conspiracy again It the United States
LEGISLATIVE BILL.
Consideration was resumed of the legislative
executive and judicial appropriation bill.
Senator Window addressed the Senate to
show the policy of the Democrats is revolu-
tionary and unconstitutional. He said the
wiser men Of the party were overruled by
their vicious and reckless party associates
If the wiser men of the party could have pre-
vailed the party would have been saved from
much trouble, King caucus issued his de-
cree that there should be no stragglers from
the lines. Window read from the remarks of
Beck to show the Democrats meant to coerce
the President and that the programme was
instanced by the chairman whom Window
designated the Caesar of the caucus. Window
said that towards the close OF the session
he said to one of the prominent con-
ferrees of the House:i 81 don't understand why
the House should defeat the appropriation
bills and thus force an extra session of Con-
gress no Congressional elections will be held
till after the next session of Congress-" The
reply was: IF we pass these bills the govern
ment would have money till July, 1880, and
would then manage to get along till the elec-
ton in November, but if We let the bills fail tho
government would only have money till the
3Oth of June, 1870. The government might
get along for four months but could not for
sixteen months"

afraid that four months would not bring the
President to terms and therefore they agreed
on sixteen months
Senator Morgan-If the Senator has no OBJ
lection will he give the name of the gentleman
he has quoted?
Senator Windom-I will give the name to the
Senator.
Senator Morgan-I would not ask for the
name if the conversation was private one.
Senator Windom-The conversation took
place in the committee room, and the gentle
man was the chairman of the House committee
| on appropriations, Atkins. The Democrats did
not propose anything for relief of the country
and to promote it's prosperity. No State con-
ventions, no citizens by petition have asked for
such legislation as they proposed. They ignored
| all government issues and inaugurated revolu-
tionary measures to accomplish their revolu-
tionary purposes, to
DENATIONAL1ZE THIS NATION
States and to recover the power which they
lost by four years of war. The assertion and
advocacy Of State sovereignty was the boldest
form in which the design presented for the
destruction of fair elections. The Democrats in
| the South had by fraud and violence prevented
the Republicans from expressing their will at
the polls and the Democrats in the North had
prevented honest election. The motive for
dishonest elections was plainly seen in the fact
that without New York and Ohio the Demo-
| Gratis could not grasp the Presidency.
Window referred TO the speech of Hill, and
especially ridiculed that Senator's remark that
! if the South had known there would have been
war they wouldn't have seeded and they SC
ceded to accommodate the Northern conscience.
All would recolect the opposition of the
Democrats to the war. It was unconstitutional
| to do anything but aid the rebellion and a
Demscratic national convention denounced
the war as ia: lure and demanded q cessation
| of hostilities. The
| DEMOCRATIC PARTY WAS MAsQUERAD1NG
as the guardian and protector of human liberty
and the rights of man. To make the play har-
monius Satan should be introduced as an angel
Of light, Judis Iscariot as Christian Benedict
Arnold as patriot, and Sitting Bull % peace
maker. Senator Hill praying for the Union
| should not be omitted. The Democrats would
make the world believe before the sceues that
the Republicans were trampliug upon every
thing precious, human and divine, while behind
| the scenes race was flying from Democrat rule
protesting to be the protectors of human
rights, ten thousand people had fled from the
| South to the West, and were now making ap-
peals for food and shelter, and thousands more
WERE LYING IN THE VALLEYS OF THE MISSISSIPPI
praying to be removed from the presence of
| their oppressors. At the footlights the Demo
! Gratis showed up the Democratic banner, in
scribed with the initials &C. s. A." The same
| spirit that brought on the rebellion was here
manifested to destroy the nationality of the
| government and substitute State sovereigpty
but the Democrats could not deceive the peo
pie, who would, as in the past, overwheim them
in their unpatriotic designs.
Senator Coke said the remarks of the Senator
being calculated to excite sectional bitterness,
would find no reply in what he now had to sub
NIT in favor of the sections of this bill which
j proposed to repeal the election laws He had
nothing to do with the past. He dealt with
the present and future. He proposed not ia
discuss who was right who was wr ing i1
bringing ON the civil war, or it's conduct anc
results, but to discuss the question whethe
these election laws
WERE CONSTITUTIONAL OR NOT.
If Unconstitutional, no matter who was wron,
in the past, it was right to repeal them now
whether the faults of the Democrats or virtues
OF the hepuDncans IN the past. After review
ing the Presidents veto of the army bill an(
pronouncing its premises untena BILE, COX
argued that the election laws ought to be re
pealed because they interfereR with the free
dom of elections, and rudely intrenched upol
the rights and duties of States to keep peace a
the polls. This was beyond the reach fedora
legislation. Hespoke of the election laws a
unconstitutional, the election machiner
wrested from where it belonged and placed ii
in the hands Of deputy marshals and super
visors, to
THE OPPRESSION OF THE PEOPLE.
He contended that the States were vestec
with the exclusive power to prescribe the quail
ifcation of voters, and this carried with it tn
power to protect voters in the enjoyment of th
election franchise, under the conditions pre-
!. scribed. All history shows the liberties of The
people arc safe only in their own keeping.
After an executive session, adjourned 1851
sA ttaff House of Representatives.
