speaker was Mr.. Mckinley, OF Ohio (te'
pu5lican). and, as hc is a member OF the Ju-
dietary Committee, she felt it incumbent on
him 10 attempt 4 reply to Mcssrs. Hurd and

| calnlpr and more decorous than the average
Republican member; but AS he proceeded

speech delivered the other day so as TO make
the gallant Kentuckian say that the Demo

! legislation, when, il he had completed the

| Blackburn said all nf the legislation which,
! like the election laws, tho jurors test oath.

Mr.. Blackburn, from the chair, asked
| him to complete his sentence, but
lie refused unless his time were
extended, and refused even 10 allow
| any one else an opportunity to do so. Mr..
| Blackburn, when Mr.. Mckinley reached
, this point Of his speech. had sent Il copy OF
the Record 10 him by Il page, wiki the eX-
rlanatory portion 0! the sentence under

that the page came from Mr.. Blackburn,
and did not notice the marginal note until
his attention, at the close OF his speech, was
called to it By some one near him. lie then
intended TO read it, but Mr.. Blackburn,
who had the floor, wouldn't let him. The
Democrats, with snccrS and laughter, said,
go, that is too thin," and it really seemed
so. General Scales promptly asked HIM II
this were so would he not allow Black
burns explanation to be appended to his
spccch. This was more than the Ohio at
torney bargaincd for, and he replied that
both would probably be published together
in the record, and Dlackburn's speech
would he close enough to his anyhow.

NATIONAL SPEECH FROM MR.. HOUSE.
| VI
tirst-ratc speech that was full OF national
sentiment and good sense. lie rc5uked the
sectional appeals OF Garfield, Blaine IL co.
to the passions and prcjudlccs OF the north
crn people, and showed how much the poo
| plc OF the whole country need financial re-
lief and repose. lie asked wherein the
South had offended since it furcd its flag
| and surrendered its arms 1T App0mattoN.
He asked il the South does rot vote 10 tax
Itself to support the manned soldiers o. the
Union army while it sees ITS own SOL
derS going 10 their graves dependent for
support upon the precarous charity OF an
impoverished people. 1t wants the pas!
! to be buried. he said, and is anxious to con-
tribute to the glory OF the American name
and the perpctuity OF the American Unlon.
Pointing to the fig over the Capitol, he
said "Ii thi, i, not our flag, and if this is
not our country, then we have no flag and
no country" And when Il foreign foe shall
ever threaten them the South, lie declared,
would DO its full share in defending both.
THE EL0oDlEST SHIRT WAVED TODAY.
Mr.. Burrows, III Michigan, who has 3
stron~ clst-iron voice, waved the bloodlest
shirt Of the debate, aal talked about the
brutal orlra2cs pcrrctratcd in the South
against the negroes in /! manner that would
have induced Il foreigner to suppos" that
souiherncrs were blooder butchers than
the Turks and less merclful than
THUS. and. that its representatives,
were rcbcIio,,s conspirators only await
ing an opportunity to destroy the Fed
! era! Government. The bittcrcst OF ms
u.,cranceS were those which were loud
cs. appaudcd by the Republicans, and it
WAS clear that their hate Tor the South is Just
Us deep as when they had their feet upon
tn, nccks Of PROSTATE and bleeding Sta.cs.
! When Mr.. Burrows concluded he was
| warmly congratulated by his Republican
brethren. Parson Garfield being ec>tatc as
he eraspcd his hand and shook it.. General
Gibson, of Louisiana, made manly reply
in defence OF the charges against MS state,
showing that even an iron-clad jury ana
Republican judge acquitted the parties
charged with murder and outrage by the
member from Michigan. Mr.. Sparks, u III
