sectional speeches in Massachusetts,
and catholic speeches in the Senate.
Senator Hoar inquired whether
Senator Plumb meantto insinuate that
he Senator Hoar) made speeches in
the Senate different to those he de-
livered anywhere else.
Senator Plumb replied that the SEN
ator had spoken in Massachusetts of
the great frauds in the Southern States
and he Senator Plumb) had been
fairly overwhelmed at the catholicity
OF his late speeches in the Senate.
Senator Hoar said he had always
and everywhere expressed his abhor-
renee and condemnation Of the cleo
ton outrages in the South and had
gone 10 the extreme Of his power to
get the national authority to put down
these outrages. On the other hand
he Senator Hoar) had for sixteen
years everywhere advocated national
aid to education in the South.
Senator Plumb said he meant no re-
Election on the Senator, but was sim
ply contrasting his confidence in the
Southern States on the subject of edu-
cation with his want Of confidence in
them in the matter of elections. Sierra.
tor Hoar believed the two prop
sitions entirely reconciliable. He had
favored trusting the Southern people
with the suffrage after the war, be-
cause he did not think we could have
a republican government with vassal
States. He knew it was taking risk,
but republican government had itself
been a risk. He would intrust the
Southern people with the administra-
ton OF this bill for the same reason
that he had intrusted them with the
rights of American citizens after the
war, and with the same confidence in
the manhood of the Southern people.

Senator Edmunds-It has gone into

Laughter
Senator Plumb said the book DELHI
erately falsifed history, charactsrizing
the Union armies as about wholly COM
posed of immigrants, and never speak
ing but with disrespect of the com.
manders of the Union soldiers as well
as with contempt of the soldiers them
selves.
Senator Eustis-Where is it used?
Senator Plumb did not know, but
had been told by Southern man thai
the book, bad as it was, was not as bad |
as others that to his personal know |
ledge were used. Senator Plumb said |
we might differ as to the merits of the |
great struggle, but he had never heard
a Northern man speak with anything
but personal respect Of the Southern
soldiers or their commanders. There
was no necessity to fal .ify history.
The National Government should not
pay out money to educate the youth
Of the South to look with contempt on
the soldiers OF the North as towards
and poltroons, or as anything other
than brave, manly and patriotic men.
Senator Plumb's amendment was re.
jected IS a whole, but on his renewing
the part of the amendment requiring
that samples of the school. books be
filed in the Interior Department, with
out making the States title to the
money depend on such fling, it was
agreed to.
Other amendments of detail were
made. The bill having thus been
perfected, as in committee of the
whole, was reported to the Senate,
and most of the amendments made as
in committee of the whole were
agreed to.
