Hoar disSented from the passage of

considered the bill reported by him from
the Judiciary committee in April last for
"inguests under national authority" He
referred to the massacres during..the last few
years in Louisiana, South Carolina, Ala
bama, Mississippi and other southern states,
and stated that in every one of these cases,
as far as known, a negro and Republican
was tue victim, and a Democrat and a
white man the asgressor.
At the conclusion of Hoar's remarks
kenna protested against the speech made
by the senator from Massachusetts, in the
closing hours of the session. That speech,
he said, would go into the record, and
would go into the campaign a bloody shirt
document, with frank on it, for the pur
pose of agitating sectional feelings"
salisbury, in very severe and pointed
terms, condemned the attempt of the sen
ator from Massachusetts to make political
capital for his party when there was no op
portunity to reply to it From the exhibi-
tons made by Republican senator's while
the speech was being made many senators
having left their seats, he knew that it had
not the approval of those with whom the
senator was politically affiliated. Eustis
denied that single outrage had taken
place in Louisiana for years past which had
not been properly investigated

tiou of the adjournment resolution, and il

port in the shape of e substitute for the
whole bill Edmunds demanded that it
should be read in full
