WASHINGTON, August 23d.-Steyart Of

character of the Italian hero.
Chandler then resumed the speech he
began yesterday on the resolution for an
investigation of the recent Louisiana cleo
ton. Commenting ON one account of the
murder of William Adams, he said
They do not allow mugwumps in
Louisiana. They kill them. He was a
white man, an exConfederate soldier and
a Democrat, who concluded to support the
Yarmouth ticket, and he was not allowed
to live. He was shot to death in Monroe
by some of Governor McEnry's followers,
and his body thrown into a river, in order
to enable Quachita Parish to have its vote
returned for Nicoll"
Chandler then turned his attention to
the election frauds in New York, and after
describing the methods there returned TO
the Louisiana case and concluded as fol.
lows:
IF the Republicans of the North had not
the ability, persistence and courage to de-
mand and secure the observance of uni
Versal suffrage, but submitted to its nullifi-
cation by the oligarchy which now ruled
the North and South, and if they thus
abandoned the eolored people to the wrongs
which now encompassed them, they would
deserve no better fate than to have the
whips and fetters from which Abraham
Lincoln had freed the bondmen applied to
their own backs"
The resolution was laid aside without ac-
ton.
The Senate then took up the resolution
reported from the Judiciary Committee on
the subject of the suppression of coored
votes at the municipal election in Jackson,
Miss, and Wilson of Iowa addressed the
Senate in support of the resolution. His
remarks were interrupted by the appear
ance of one of the Secretaries of the Presi-

yielded to Edmunds, who moved an ad-
journment
Morgan suggested that the President in

been received"
