ratlve witnesses and money will be ready at

Senator Kellogg laughed aloud upon hearing
this translation.
There were many other kilograms but Sena.
tor Hill did not wish to consume the time of
the Senate in reading them.
senator Carpenter asked il evidence that
Kellogg was elected by bribery would prove
tna5 ne was not elected. 1t would warrant his
expulsion no doubt, but would it affect the fact
of his election.
senator Hill thought SO. Bribery would GER
tainly make the election void if it were shown
to have brought about the result. Senator
Hill spoke at great length upon the legal points
involved and concluded as follows 1.-THE
troubles in the South since the war have not
grown out OF natural antagonism between the
two races. 1t has not sprung from any DISPOSE
ton on the part of the Southern whites to do
niustice to the blacks INIT
the Acknowledgement of the best citizens and
the indiscriminate enfrauchisement of the
| black race, opened up temptations to class of
men IN the North, such as never infested So
clety before, and pray God never may infest
IL again. These men went down there to take
| advantage OF the situation and used the ne
groes to get offices. To do this they had to
| create dissensions between the races. They
sought to secure the black race by convincing
them that the white race was their enemy.
They were sustained in that by the federal
| army and federal administration. To accom-
pllsh their purpose they worked to get up col
lislons and strife between the two races and
charges OF outrages upon the colored race by
whites and the North was flooded with charges
OF olsloyalty and spirit of rebellion When
the history of that terrible period shall be writ
ten the people of the North will have to blush
IN the face of the fact that the very outrages of
which they complained and which have SO ex-
cited them, were instigated by these carpet
baggers for the express purpose of agitating
the people of the North and to keep federal
power and the administration active in their
support.
Passing from this he expressed apprehension
as to the tendency shown in the recent debate
to favor Capitalization. 1t had been argued on
the other side that military courts were on the
same footing with civil courts, that State
judges could be called before federal Judges to
answer inquiry into the performance of their
duties, etc. 1t was now proposed to have the
Senate override the constitutional rights of a
State. Are not these sounds, he continued,
indicative of the retreat of free Republic
can government and the advance of imperial
ism! Have the people ears
and hear not the groans of dying liberty?
Have they eyes and see not the despotism stalk
ing with brazen front at MONDAY in the highest
halls of the nation? If these things be SO, why
shall we be not honest and temperate at once,
to end this mockery of free government under
a written constitution peaceabIy before fraud
and force shall end it in blood? No, sir, the
people have ears and they will hear. They
have eyes and they will see. The people will
have liberty. They still have faith in the writ
ten constitution and they will rise mp trust,
In this suspicious year, and declare that party
which Is willing to seize and hold the govern
ment by fraud against the popular will, shall
never afterward be trusted with power by that
popular will.
Senator Edmunds. from his seat, "Amen."
Senator Hill continuing: ''They will cast
out the thieves that divide public offices as
their own legitimate plumber, and if we under
take to disfranchise a sovereign State of this
Union, the people will. as they ought, drive US
