II will be seen at once that the law is
chiefly available in the North, and the
anxiety of our republican friends against
its repeal is not because Of its power in
the South. 1t has been used in the
North as an effective measure of iDtimi-
dation, and has been chiefly aimed against
the naturalized voter. The republican
party cannot forgive him the crime of
voting the democratic ticket, and it takes
every opportunity to harass and oppress
him. The chief instrument of revenge
has been the arbitrary and INSCRIPTIONS
political tool, John Davenport, of New
York City. And his recent exploit has
been The most remarkable on record. IL
should be a conclusive argument against
the republican party, which supports and
indorses him, for every naturallzcd citi-
zen in the land.
On the night before the election held
in New York City last November four
thousand atiidavits were made before
him as chief supervisor under the law we
now propose to repeal, and four thousand
warrants for arrests were issued, all OF
them against naturalized citizens. Hun
dreds OF these unoffending, unsuspecting
citizens were arrested Oh election day,
when about to exercise their right to vote
and carried before this tool of The repub-
lican party. Let me describe what took
place on that day, in the language of the
counsel for one of the arrested men, who
was an eyewitness to the proceedings:
Such a scene as the room of the court
presented on election day has never be-
fore been witnessed in this city, or In
this country, and it is to be hoped never
| will again. From early mornii g until
after the polls were closed these rooms
were packed and jammed with mass OF
prisoners and deputy marshais' MOI
only were they crowded beyond Their
capacity, but the halls and corridors were
thronged with those who were unable TO
obtain admission, so that the counsel
representing the prisoners and the pon's-
men who were TO be offered to secure
their release had the greatest dime uity
and were frequently unsuccessful ~ oo-
tanning entrance. In addiuon to all this,
was this delectable iron pen ON the upper
floor in which men were crowded unui
it resembled the Black Hole OF Calcutta
and where they were kept for hours,
hungry, thirsty, suffering in every way
until their cases could be reached. WIN
scarcely an exception these men had
gone to the polls expecting to be absent
but a short time. Many of them were
lthinly clad. Numbers had sick wives Oh

balance in Southern States.

Thus, in 1873, out of S202,O 900 only
S25, 900 was spent in the South, upon
doubtful districts but $l77,O0O was Law
ished upon the cities of the North, chief
ly in the democratic States OF New YORK
and New Jersey.
The gentleman from Maine Mr.. Frye]
was more candid In this particular than
the other statesmen who are always rals-
ing the roof of the House with their dec
lamations against the South. He said in
opening his speech the other day, repub-
lican as he is:
"Mr. Chairman, do not believe that
this is a question affecting the South at
all. This law has been upon the statute
book since 1872. and the republican pat
has disappeared in the Sou h as the dew
before the rising sun. The South will
be solid for the democratic candidate for
the Presidency ir 1880, law or no law,
supervisor or no supervisor, United
States marshal or no United States
marshall" -
And he then proceeded to argue that it
is needed in the North, hut especially in
New York City. He does not seem to
think that it is needed in republican

rom the Congressional Record.

From the Congressional Record.
A more scandalous law was never en-
acted under the pretext of preserving the
purity Of the ballot-box. The marshal
Of the United ) ates Is the creature Of the
President. The special deputies are the
mere creatures Of the marshal. There is
no law nor any general practice requir-
ing them to be equally divided between
The political parties. And If the repub-
lican selects sO-called democratic depu-
ties 1t is to keep them quiet, or with the
express or implied agreement that they
will vote for or possibly openly support
the republican ticket. Under a demo-
cratic administration the rule would be
the same, in all probability, only reversed
as to palties. Thus the money of the
people is profuseIy spent, and always
will be, to bribe the needy or the indif-
ferent voter, and the pretense of purity
becomes the fact of corruption.
To conceal from the people the true
workings and purpose Of the law, certain
frotby statesmen have attempted TO throw
over II the cloak of the "bloody shirt" "
They declaim about new war, denounce
the so-called aggressions of the South,
aud pretend that the proposed repeal is in
the interest Of that section. There are
some gentlemen upon this floor whose
political education has been SO exclusive
ly confined to denunciation of the South
that they only open their mouths to let
It flow out in unsavOry volubility. But
there are others whose ingenuity dictates
this course. 1t has become usual to
cover all the political crimes of the re-
publican party with this well-worn and
thread-bare garment. But few facts
and figures will tear of the cloak.
The South does not ask this repeal,
nor Is she much interested in it. A
northern man has proposed the amend
ment, and the cities Of the North have
been mostly invaded. But the honest
people of all sections cannot do other
wise than indOrse our action.
Out OF sixty-nine cities in the United
States having population Of more than
twenty thousand people at the lest Fed
eral census fifty-five belong to the North
aud only fourteen to the South. Sixteen
Northern States contain such cities, but
only ten Southern States. The aggregate
population Of the fifty-fve northern cities
is 4,912, PA, while that of the fourteen
southern cities is only 1,206,l3 There
is no longer any doubtful Southern State
but there are many debatable ones in the
North, and many doubtful congressional
districts.
The following is table of the number
OF such cities in each State six Northern
States and six Southern having none:
