men as had furnished With their unblem-
ished swords the brightest pages
of American history. Mcclellan

The House then resumed consideration
of the Alabama contested election case CT
McDuffi9 against Davidson. Mr.. O'Fer-

clsim Of the Rspablicsn party that the
negro vote Of the south wss Invariably
cast for the nominees Of that party, that
aad been true in years gone hy, but It
was not true now. The R7publicsD

their churches and societies. II
it were not for this system
OF Intimidation by their preacheTs
and leaders the Republican party wanta

Mr.. Kerr inquired where the gentleman
learned that Lincoln signed the emanci-
patton proc amaGion with hesitation.
Mr.. OFerralI replied that he learned ii
from history. There was q printing on
the walls of the capital, the propriety OF
hanging which had been questioned by
some. He was glad it was here o per-
petuste an historicsl event and scene.
H. referred TO the pain ing of the signing
Of the emancipation proclamation by thai
good man whose tragic death had been .
terrible calamity to the whole country
The deep thought that there rested upon
his features, the anxiety on his brow, the
Gisheveied hair, told that the fire was
burning with feIVent glow within his
brain, while the psn in bis hand was hes
i ating to sign the immortal name OF
! Lincoln.
Mr.. Boutelle Of Msine-''Does the gen
rlsman pretend to say that Lincoln, Es
portrayed in that crucial period Of his
! career when engaged in performing nis
grandest duty was hesitatint7 l tt II the
gentleman that he was unfortunately
situated to know the history Of his C untry
at that time"
Mr.. O'FerrAll-"Such language as thai
coming from that gentleman (~no never
loses an opportunity to use ~. is not the
language Of brave man. n.Ve alvey

and cuff fallen foe. They are towards
only that do II, not brave men." Ap-
plsu5e on Democratic side
Mr.. B ,utelle-"A low me to SAY"
Mr. O'Ferr sll-''I do OF yield you car
tsse your own time."I
Mr.. Boutelle-"I will take my Owl

The Democratic party had plunged th'

to keep the manacles on the colored mel
