TUESDAY. JAN. Z.


SESArE-Mr. Morgan addressed the Sen
ate on the subject of the bill heretofore
introduced by Butler TO provide for the
emigration of persons Of color from the
Southern States. He has reached the con
clusion that there is a natural incongruity
and an irrepressib!e conflict between the
races and that the return of the negro race
TO Africa was the only solution Of the
problem 1t was undeniable that the aver
sion between the two races had greatly in
creased since slavery was abolished, and
II would Increase so long Us q large por-
ton OF the population was of the African
race. Experience would not permit of the
statement that such a feeling of aversion
existed only in the South, that il was not
so intense in the South IL was In the
North, not SO strong between the negro
and his former master as ii was between
the negro and those who never owned
slaves. The separation of the races was
the only thing that would extinguish the
race aversions. In Africa the negro could
grow up to the full measure OF his destiny.
slavery" Morgan said, would be
abolished in Central Africa II the work
was left 10 the whites. II would be slow
process, but the American negro would
accomplish 1t II he dwelt among those peo-
pie In summing up his speech, the
speaker pointed TO the fact that the negroes
had no chance to rise in this country. Po-
litical influence would never lift the negro
race in this country above its present
level On the contrary, the friction and
collision caused by the negroes in the use
OF the ballot would create more and more
envy against the negro race. He tMorgan)
looked forwa rd TO the establishment of q
free Republican government in the Congo
region by the influence of America or
American negroes, who would thus be the
redeemers and revenerators of their
fathcrland.
HousE.-Mr McComas Of Maryland Of
IN v~sNt col. .sE,, 49, Il.
itself into committee of the whole for the
consideration OF the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. the committee to be GOV
erned by the rules Of the last Congress.
Mr.. Breckenridge raised the question of
consideration against tho resolution.
The Speaker ruled that the question of
consideration could not be raised against
the resolution, because the resolution was
in the nature of a motion regulating the
business of the house.
Mr.. breckenridge said the resolution
went further than that, as il provided for
the adoption of a code of rules. He ap-
pcaled from the decision.
MIR. Carlisle, OF Kentucky, vigorously
attacked the Speakers ruling. He argued
that no question OF consideration could be
taken against motion to 20 into Com
mittee of the Whole, but the pending reso.
tuition went far beyond that and provided
Tor code OF rules. He thought the time
had come when the House, If it was to be
governed by rules, should have those
rules. Applause on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa said that as he
understood the matter the gentlemen on
the other side were opposed to doing any
thing without rules and wanted the rules
adopted under which nothing could be
done. The majority was charged with
trying TO ravish the other side without
rules. Howl BY proposing TO consider
and pass a bill on the calendar under the
rules made by Democratic house. Was
that ravishmenti He wanted the Repub-
lican members to come up shoulder to
shoulder, and show they were to do the
business OF the country. Let the Commit
tee on Rules take its time and bring in q
code which would advance and not OBJ
struct business,

GUS question on the adoption of his resolu
uon and 1t was ordered-yeas 1871, nays
IL. No further opposition TO the resolu-
tion was made by the Democrats, and 1t
having been adopted the House went into

alton Of the district bill.
Only the first paragraph was considered
when the committee rose and the House
