ua', put aSheus Dlu tne Wnite men OF
South Carolina follow your example in
that direction? Did the people OF Mis-.
sissippi follow your example? There
was the misfortune there had been a
leader with the right impulse but his
followers were rebelhous, as Of DID,"
Laughter
Mr.. Voorhees, said the Senator from
South Carolina (Mr. Hampton) was too
modest to say what he (Mr. Voorhees,
would say-that the people Of South
Carolina had so far followed that distin-
guiShed Senator as to make him Cover
nor Of that State in way that " stuck, Z"
and negroes had made him such a Gov
eTnor.
Mr.. Van Wyck was glad Of that, too,
and glad TO know that Mr.. Hampton
was bold enough and brave enough to
stand up in advance and advocate a
principle that had become so important
feature of the Constitution. Mr.. Van
Wyck disclaimed any unkindness by
h;S remarks.
Adjourned
House of Representative.
The Speaker laid before. the House a
communication from the Secretary OF
War recommending an appropriation
for eXtra-duty pay to the enlisted men
employed at Fortress Monroe. Re-
ferfed.
Mr.. Crisp, Of Georgia from the Com
mittee on Commerce), presented the
views Of the minority on the bill to in
corporate the Atlantic and Pacific Ship
Railway Company. Referred to the
Committee Of the Whole.
The minority, after detailing the Oh.
iections which they have to the bill.
say; We regard this proposition as one
| granting subsidy that may, and
probably will, take from the public
Treasury $50, 10000 for the benefit
of private corporation located and to
be operated exclusively in a foreign
country without any corresponding
benefit to our country or people.
In the morning hour the House
passed the bill for public building at
| Asheville, n. c., at a cost not exceed
ing $4,000, and for public building
at Savannah, Ga, at cost not exceed
ing 100000.
On motion Of Mr.. Randall further
debate on the pension bill was limited
to three hours. The debate continued,
as yesterday, almost entirely political,
with only incidental and occasional
reference to the pending pension bill.
Mr.. Cabell, of Virginia, deprecated
the slurs which he said, had been cast
upon southern members by the gentle
man from Iowa henderson,. lie had
been a Confederate, but when he sur
rendered he had surrendered in good
faith and renewed an honest devotion to
the Union Of States and the Constitution
of the country, and whatever gentlemen
might say or whatever they might init
mate he was as true and loyal to-day to
the Union OF States and the Consti-
tuition as the man who sat in
the White House or as the man
who, in an unmanly way. made an
inDuendO TO the contrary; but as long
as he was a representative he would
vote as be thought proper and as his
conscience dictated. Standing behind
the widows some gentlemen assailed
southern members for their votes.
Why not come in an honest way and
say that the South must bear the eX-
pense OF pensions, and not come in an
unmanly way and thrust continually in
its face and say. We are your
friends and we love you, but you caused
this debt to be put on the country,
and we mean 70 make you pay it. ="
That was the true inwardness Of all
this talk. and it exhibited want Of
manliness for men to assail others whom
they supposed to be helpless and un-
able to say anything in return for I'M
kind, ungenerous. and unmanly re-
marks. The gentleman from Ohio
| tMr. ButterwOrthj had gone out Of his
way to tell the southern people how
wicked they were. The gentlemen
who undertook to talk about affairs in
the South gained their information
from the miserable set of vampires and
vermin that had fallen upon the South
after the war with more blighting
effect than the locusts and lice Of Egypt.
This stuff was brought up from the
South by those creatures who were so
miserable that they had been spewed
out by the North and had settled in the
South. lie wondered what these
creatures had been made for, unless
cod Almighty, in His wisdom, to show
what miserable thing he could make,
had created the carpet-baggcr and put
him down in the southern States. The
gentleman had talked about ballot-box
stuil.ng, and then demonstrated by his
own speech that if there was corrup-
ton. and villainy, and iniquity shown
in an election in any country on Gods
green earth it was in the State Of Ohio
and in the city of Cincinnati, Of which
the gentleman was SO proud.
After short speeches by MesSrs,
Springer, Burrows, Hammond, and
others, Mr.. Henderson, Of Iowa, took
the floor, and again attacked the south
eIn Democrats, saying he had no
apologies 10 make for anything con-
tanned in his previous speech. Some
Of his former utteranceS which had
been most criticised and answered, he
now repeated and he closed the de-
bate. he said, as he had begun it. with
out one rancorous feeling in his heart.
In the course Of his speech Mr.. Hen
derson was frequently interrupted by
the applause Of his party colleagues.
Mr.. Warner, of Ohio, replied to an
attack upon him by Mr.. Grosvenor,
and in turn assailed GrosyenOr.
After further debate the committee
rose and reported the bill to the House.
Mr.. Townshend. who had charge Of
the bill, took the floor, but expressed
his desire of yielding to a motion to ad-
journ. as he might wish to make some
remarks on the bill tomorrow. But
the House would not listen to this idea,
and cries of ." Vote :" Vote " came
from all sides. Mr.. Townshend. how
ever, stood his ground and declared
that the yeas and nays must be taken
