Mr.. Cameron, of Wisconsin, sen, TO the
clerks desk snd had read tho letter sent TO
Mr. Chittsnden by Mr.. Hill. shortly after the
election, and enquired whether Mr.. Hill was
still of the opinion that the democratic psrty
ought tcalisband.
Mr.. Hill stated that be would answer the
inquiry, though it would have been iairer
itthe senator had broadened the que.tion
and asked whether he was in favor OF both
parties dIsbanding. There wss nothing new
in the letter. SO fsr as bis opinions were
concerned he was of the opinion that tho best
thing that could happen for this county,
looking to its future. its peace and prosperity,
would be me organization Ct parties wholly
disconnected with the differences of tie nssi.
lie conleuded that the wors,
element in this country, tho worst
traitor in tho country, the only
real rebel in tho country, was
the man who imputed TO the people Of any
section desire in,their hearts TO DESTROY tho
government. The differences in tho late war
had eliminated in an honest ditference of
opinion AS to..what was tho tone and mean
ing Of constitution the north had had the
rights TO maintain her views, and the south
hers. When the south could no. maintain
her side she had yielded as becomingly as
she had fought. Her honor was pledged to
maintain y settlement, that had resulted in
peace and they would maintain 1t. In an
swer TO question OF Mr.. Hosr, lie said the
people of the south accepted in good faith
the constitutional amendments, but express.
ed the opinion that it would have been a
benefit to the colored race in the south and
the country If some plan had been devised to
Improve the intellectual condition of tho
negro before he was given his full
rights. Ho asserted omphatically that
the condition of unquet and unrest
out Of which the southern states are emery
ing had been due TO the recons ructioa
measures adopted, by the republican party.
After tho evil which affected the south, after
tho war was again threatened 10 be repeated,
what was a coalition of the republican party
with, minority element in tho south seols.
ing to! Net TO do good to the cololel men,
but to got domination in tho country
Every movement that came from the eouth in
in favor Of burying the Issues Of tho war, In
| favor of forgetting the passions OF tho war, IN
favor ST hluing from view tho wrongs Of the
war, was met by tho republican party with
a slap in the face. Every movement that
comes from the south in favor of burying the
issues Of the war, is met by demand from
tho republican party that the
people OF tho south must evince
their faith by joining the repub-
lican party, md no southern man il allowed
TO be patriot unless ho accompanies his
professions of patriotic sentiments with n
heagira over to the republican party. In
conclusion ne warned the republican party
that this coalition, over which il was re-
joiclng, was going TO do more to set back the
real liberal movement than anything olsc
could do.
Mr.. Hoar denied the statements made by
the senator from Georgia that people in the
south were allowed a free
ballot snd honest count. lie
challenged Mr.. Hill to state, on what im.
portsnt measures in regard to tha south had
the republican party not boon IN the right,
and in reply 10 Mr.. Hills statement and
the reconstruction measures, declared tina,
tho so-called carpet Dagger r0vnrrments
had been neccssitated by tho laws onac ed in
many southern states, practically ra4 tab,
fishing slavery.
In the midst of tho controversy, which was
kept up al some length, Mr..
Logan entered upon the discussion.
He ressserted that every timo the oppor,u.
nifty is offered, the senator from Georgia digs
up every question growing out of the war.
The senator from Georgia, he said, and
every other man that joined the rebellion,
is responsible for every wrong complained
of.
To this Mr.. Hill replied that he was not as
responsible as tho senator from Illinois, who
was advocating policy for democrats which
encouraged them TO resist, when he

Continuing he said: will tell the senator
what is historical fact. was met on til,
stump in Georgia with the argument tina. he
(Logan) and such as he would sustain the
south II IL did secede.
Mr.. Logan replied that tho intima,ion tha,
he sympsthized with the south ut that tim,
was false Mr.. Hill-He had no doubt of It
He did not charge ii and did no
endorse what was said of Logan. II,
was only reciting historical fact.
The.controvercy between Messrs. Hour and
Hill was then resumed, the former ehaleng
ing the latter TO advance proof sustaining hii
charge that the republican party in tho south
was not friend Of the colored man, and the
latter contending that tho exits in tho south
had been brought about by carpetbaggers.
Mr. Beck after intimatiug that tho reason
the republicans refused 10 90 into executive
session, was because they had quarrelled
among themselves and dare not iaco The
ISSUE in executive session. He moved to 70
into executive session, which motion was
rejected.
Mr.. Dawes ridiculed tho new discovery
made BY Mr.. Beck, and desiring, no said, Il
give the senator's friends time to rally round
II, moved to adjourn, which motion was
agreed to.
