The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-20

nouneed then as we do now all outside power
TO change the powers of that State. Every
Democrat In the State felt the order OF Gen.
Sehenek to be an insult to the pride OF the
commonwealth. No man can say with truth
that the people Of that State were ever un-
faithful to the constitution and the Union.
This allusion (Blaine's) is unworthy OF this
place.
Mr.. Blaine then read a resolution offered by
the elder Bayard In the spring of 1861 provid-
Ing that the President, with the advice and
consent Of the Senate, might conclude treaty
with the Southern States, guaranteeing their
fred on. He reiterated that the elder Bayard
had resigned because he could not take the
test oath.
Mr.. Bayard said this was an unjust and
untrue . accusation His father had taken the
war ne was reelected. There were many
Republican Senators Of that time who said
the test oath was unconstitutional. As to the
resolution offered by his lather, 1t was then d
question whether that mode OF reseuing the
country from frightful war would not have
been the least criminal
Mr.. Blaine said he had made these allu-
sions preliminary to showing that Gov.
Sehenck was justified la making his orders.
Mr. Blaine then returned to Mr. Eaton.
A very animated debate took place between
them In reference TO Mr.. Eaton's treatment
OF the Presidents veto message In his last
speech There were illusions to the Hart
Of the South since the war; which. Mr..
Blaine said, was considered to be d further
disturbance. He read from an alleged arith-
metieai problem which contained an allusion
to Yankees and Tonfederates.
Mr.. Vance followed In humorous speech.
he began by denying that any such school
literature as the Senator from Maine had al
iuded to now existed In the South. He depre-
could never have any beneficial result. He
gave picture OF the late carpet-baggers and
tEer present deplorable condition. They are
all gone from the South now, he said, except
an occasional hanger-on about the custom
houses The Republican party had Its monu-
ments Of great deeds done. There was it's last
purchase. We had got by that bargain
land In which It was nine months
winter, and three months damnation cold
winter. Laughter.I There were the Credit
Mobiler frauds, the returning boards the SUI
pervisOrs OF election and deputy marshalS.
The proposition that troops should be used at
the polls he illustrated by geometrical Ian
guage, treating 1t as a theorem with coroIIa-
ries, schoiiums, and the like. In which he in
geniously brought In the different arguments
used on the Republican side. There were
many humorous illusions and anecdotes,
which keT@ the Senate and galleries in a roar.
In conclusion, he made an earnest appeal for
peace.
Mr.. Logan read from the Congressional
Record an extract from speech made by
Mr. Pendieton In 1853 in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, In which he advocated the right
OF the President to employ troops In Kansas.
Mr.. Pendelton was not in his seat.
Mr.. Edmunds gave notice that he would
speak to his amendment to strike out the po-
ltical section, but would not insist on doing
SO to-day.
The Senate then adopted the amendments
made In committee OF the whole except those
which were reserved for separate votes. The
first was an increase OF three clerks In the
office OF the second assistant postmaster gem
eral. It was rejected-yeas Is, nays 26. The
second vote was on Mr.. Houston's motion,
and included the committees amendments In
reference to the salaries Of Senate clerks.
These were agreed to in gross. This con-
eluded the consideration OF the bill, with the
exception Of Mr.. Edmunds amendment on
which he will speak tomorrow.
At 4 80 p. IN. the Senate went into executive
session, and at 80 p. m. adjourned.
