The Delta independent., 1890-02-04


Mr.. Carlisle denied absolutely the right
OF the presiding officer of the House to
make the journal. Suppose the speaker
was right: then one man could pass bill
as well as l60 The speaker was simply
the organ Of the House, not its master. He
lCarliBe) was not here TO deal in epithets
but he did say, If this ruling stood, it
worked complete revolution in tho
method Of transacting the business of the
House. The House should stand by tha
old rule and allow no legislation unless
participated in by majority of all the
members elect.
Mr.. Mckinley took the floor but yielded
to motion to adjourn, which was carried
without division.
THURSDAY, JAN. 80.
SESATK-Mr. Vance addressed the Sen
ate on the negro emigration bill. MIR.
Vance sarcastically characterized Mr.. In
CALLS recent speech as Irrational pyrotech-
mics, concealinga a paucity Of ideas: &C
knowledHed that the millennium had not
yet dawned on the South and that the
land OF reconstruction was not yet a land
OF perfect righteousness. He referred to
the Northern gerrymandering, blocks Of
five, election of colored children from
white schools, etc, and hoped in time
some accomplished black man might be
sent to represent the country in some
other land besides Hayti and Siberia. Re
ferring to Mr.. Ingalls, remark that the
South is standing on q volcano, he said
that the South needed no help. 1t could
wage war without assistance from any
body and could easily manage and over
come the uprising of $1,000, 900 negroes.
Then there would come q solution of the
negro problem that would stay solved.
Given high-sprited, cultivated, dominant
race, occupying free State, with that
race a race nanumiffai slayaS of
cent barbaric origin, how should the two
be made to dwell together in peace and
fraternity! 1t is a fundamental principle
Of American law that the majority shall
rule within time); but it is principle Of
natural law that the stronger must rule
without limit The negro is not incapable
of civilization, but is incapable of keep
ing up with the civilization of the white
race. He (Vance's) solution of the negro
problem was simply, Hands off!n
In conclusion he said, addressing him
self TO MIR. ingalls, .'1f you cannot help
either the black or the white, common de-
cency requires that you should hold your
peace He could not, he said, support the
emigration bill; it did not reach the case.
MIR. hampton spoke briefly. While in
did not think the remedy met the require
ments Of the case. Adjourned.
HousE.- The galleries of the house were
crowded to their utmost capacity long be-
fore noon to-day by spectators anticipating
a resumption of the contest Of yesterday.
Nor were they disappointed, for as the
clerk read the journal in the usual manner
emitting the detailed vote by yeas and
nays on the question of the consideration
of the contested election case, Mr. Breck-
enridge rose and demanded the reading of
the full vote. After q moments hesitation
the Speaker directed this to be done. This
having been done, Mr.. breckenridge de
,I<,t hs.y ,nf sha, -
not voting, and the Speaker ordered this
done. Then MIR. Springer demanded the
reading OF the full statement of MIR. Reed,
giving the ground for his ruling yesterday,
and the clerk proceeded TO read accordingly.
The reading OF the journal having been
completed, Mr.. Mckinley moved that the
journal be approved, and upon that motion
demanded the previous question. The
yeas and nays having been ordered, the
order, Don't vote" was passed around
the Democratic side of the chamber and
studiously obeyed.
Before the vote was announced, the
Speaker directed the clerk to record the
names Of thirty members whom he enum.
Grated as present, and the Speaker then
announced the vote to stand, yeas leo, nays
1, and added, (Which, in addition to the
gentlemen present. constitute quorum,
and the previous question is ordered
This brought forth a storm Of applause
from the Republican side.
Mr.. Springer tIllinois) made q point of
order to the quorum, and said that il the
Speaker 80 decided he would take an
appeal.
The Speaker said: "The chair declines
to entertain the appeal of the gentleman
from Illinois," Applause on the Repub-
lican side and Misses from the Democrats
Then, amid wild cheering on the Demo
cratic side, Mr.. Breckenridge (kentucky)
rushed down the aisle and, standing in
front of tho Speaker exclaimed: 'E'rom
that We appeal, There is no appeal pend
ing. There was an appeal yesterday, but
this is different appeal, because the
Speaker is assuming that the House will
sustain his decision Of yesterday, and so
is carrying by his own vote to-day the
deoision he has made"
Cheer after cheer arose from the Demo
cratic aide, mingled with hisses from the
Republicans, until tho House resembled
q perfect ecdlam. In the midst Of the tu-
multi the Speaker stated the question to be
on the motion to approve the journal, and,
yeas and nays having been ordered, di-
rected the clerk to call the roll, and the
vote resulted, yeas l6a, nays l.
The Speaker declared tho motion carried
and directed the clerk TO enter on the Jour,
nal the names Of the members present but
not voting.
After another storm. occasioned by Mr..
end proved unsuccessful, to address the
chair, the House became quiet and the
floor was accorded to MIR. Mckinley who
spoke upon the appeal of yesterday ana
supported tho Speakers decision.
Mr. Mckinley moved TO lay on the table
the appeal from the Speakers decision, and
shouts OF disapproval were heard on the
