THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, February 26. = As ex-
perience showed, there was little chance
for business in the House before IL
O'Clock, few members being present
when the House opened at 10. Several
messages from the President, vetoing
pension bills, were read.
On motion of Joseph, of New Mexico,
the bill passed for the establishment of
of the Lincoln Land District in New Mex
leo. Then filibustering began.
Bland, of Missouri, moved half an
hours recess. Randall asked unanimous
consent for the report from the Appropria.
tions Committee on the Sundry Civil bill
with the Senate amendments, but was
aggrieved at the notification of the spe-
,cial order.
Biggs, of California, whose name
stands high on the list of recognitions,
objected, and the House lapsed into in
action.
Eleven O'Clock having arrived, Bland
withdrew his motion and Randall re-
ported the Sundry Civil Service bill.

conference was ordered. No effort was
made to call up the contested election
case, and the House went into Commit
tee of the Whole on the Deficiency Ap-
propriation bill.
Savers, of Texas, read letter which
Scott. of Pennsylvania, had received
from Colonel Lamont, stating that when
he accepted the position of private secre-
tary to the President he had full knowl-
edge of the nay attaching to it. He pre-
ferred not to be the beneficiary of retro
active legislation, and he therefore asked
that the committee recede from
its amendment appropriating $4,000
for his benefit. The committee then
rose and the bill was passed, the Lamont
amendment being eliminated. The con-
ference report on the Pension Appropria-
ton bill was presented and agreed to.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the Indian Appropriation
bill.
Kennedy Ohio referred to speech on
Southern elections made by him in
July last, and noted that ref
erence had been made to him by
Crisp few days ago. He
proceeded to sharply criticize
Crisp, and said that the people of the
United States had been insulted and out.
ragged by the selection for Chairman OF
the Committee on Elections of a man
whose election was challenged by every
sense of decency and honor. That COM
mittee had been appointed for purpose.
With undue haste it had reported the
case of John G. Carlisle to the House.
The gentleman from Georgia did
not treat the Carlisle case with
the same precision and exactness
with which he had treated the Elliott
Smalls case. The latter case had been
brought into the House eleven months
after the Carlisle case had been con.
sidered. He wished to show that the
Democratic party never had done, and
never would do, justice to black man.
Kennedy then spoke severely of
Speaker Carlisle, and said the gentleman
would go out into private life condemned
by his political associates and des-
pissed by his political enemies.
He (Kennedy) left him to him

the remarks made by Crisp concerning

southern election affairs, he referred to a
recent speech made by Governor Lee, of
Virginia, in which that gentleman de-
clared that the country wanted a
white mans government. He also
quoted General Rosser's declaration
that Southern gentleman could "whip
a Yank" every time. If Lee and Beau
regard and Rosser had been hung as
they should have been after the war was
over, they would not now be teaching
rebellion and treason to the young men
of the South. General Bradley
johnson had said the government
was controlled by Confederates. Ken
nedy thanked God that that control
was passing away and the Confederates
would be compelled to take back seats.
He congratulated the country that the
other side Of the Chamber would be free
from the dictation to which it had been
subjected, a dictation which had
been humiliating not only to the House,
but to the entire land.
Crisp, of Georgia, spoke severely of
Kennedy's defamatory remarks about
Carlisle and himself. He said the docket
framed by the committee for the trial of
the Csrlisle-Thoebe case had met with
the approval of every Republican men,
