portunities TO the coiored man. In tho
/ North that opinion was growing keener
and more active. Such pnblic opinion
would be more potential az time went on.
III the Senate passed the bill IL should DO
executed. IL the Senate did not intend 70
enforce Il, be asked the Senate in the
name OF humanity not TO pass IT,
THE BILL MEANS DETECTION or TBE MORO.
II IL were passed the white men would
stlll further be consolidated and the
trained power aud anzation Of the late
Confederate States would be brought TO
insure the destruction Of the colored race
IN the South. The colored man was yearly
improving. He could not be removed from
this country. No one compared him Tin
mental capacity. as a race with the whito
man in whose midst he lived. But IL was
the glory OF the white race that Injustice
could not long exist in its midst. This was
an age of justice and the death - privilege.
There was no room for slaves and no room
for caste. while the people Of the South
must be taught 10 see that IL was the only
way IN which the colored voter could
finally be protected.
TIP FIRsT REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION.
The fact that this was the first open OBJ
position TO the bill on the part Of Repub-
lican senator caused the closest attention
TO be paid 90 Mr.. Stewards speech on both
sides Republican and Democratic sena-
tors were IN about equal numbers about
thirty on each side. and all turned to-
wards Mr. Stewart and appeared 10 DO
most interested listeners.
HoaR AND THE FORCE BILL OF 1875.
At the close Of the speech Mr. Hoar rose
and said he would not now reply 10 II, but
be wished 20 have put on record the pro-
visions Of the force bill, 20 which reference
nffd 10 IL 4 yas.
House in 1875. lie had It's provisions read
for the purpose Of iustIfying the opposi-
ton made TO it by himself and other Re-
publicgns. and 10 show that there was 10
Inconsistency in their opposition 70 that
measure and IN their support Of the pend
ing measure.
FORCE SINE QUA NON or TIE MEASURE.
Mr.. Stewart repeated that he opposed
tho pending bill because IL proposed TO do
a thing which could not be done without
force. The Senate could not attempt TO
deceive the country. The country should
be informed Of what was necessary 10 en-
force the bill, and should be called upon
80 sustain it. He did not wish TO enter
upon such campaign as was entered upon
fifteen years ago. and again 20 meet with
defeat as on that OCCASION when the bill
had 10 be dropped.
THE TDfR NOT COME FoB FORCE.
If the time had come when tho Republi-
can party was willing 10 pass the bill and
put the necessary force behind it, and #
that was the Will Of the Republican party
he would go with it, but he did not believe
that the time had arrived, and believing
that the bill would be failure he regretted
separating from his party. He believed
that he had been good party man, but as
he thought that the pending measure was
going 90 lead 20 bad results and that II
could not succeed he deemed II his duty
20 express his opinion honestly and frankly,
as he had done to-day. Much applause IL
the galleries.
