amendment would leave the court without
an arm 70 anforca its i,Idgrnant

House had ceased to be deliberative body.
It made him so mad that he was almost
willing TO go to the other end Of the capital
that is, il the speaker did not abolish the
United States Senate, in accordance with
his programme. [Laughter.l
WOULD KILL PRESIDENTIAL POWER.
Mr.. Mckinley said that the amendment
would take from the President all the power
he had to enforce judicial processes. The
bill would be destroyed if the government
were deprived of the right to use the federal
power to execute Judicial processes under
the proposed measure. This was a bill
looking to honest representation on the floor
OF the American congress and to honest votes
and fair count 10 every part and section
of the American republic. [Republican
applause.l That was all there was Of the
bill. No honest man could object to it. 1t
was the supreme duty Of the nation to
enforce the constitution and the laws of the
United States. Let the gentlemen on the
other side obey them as the republicans
obeyed them, for he told them that the
people Of the north would not permit two
votes in the south to count as much as five
votes in the north. LRepublican applause.1 ]
PUTTING LIBERTY IN CHAINS.
Mr.. McMillin said that the leader of the
House had seen fit to keep silent until the
question arose as TO whether or not troops
should be sent to the polls. Since the
pr@torian guards had proclaimed that the
Roman world would be sold at auction
there had never been presented so sad
spectacle as that presented by the
representatives of the free American people
coming here and declaring that they were
willing to go voluntarily under despotism.
democratic applause. The old ship of
State was to he scuttled on the anniversary
of her first sailing. The gentlemen had
said that the north would not tolerate
counting in the south-the time had come
when there could not be in the American
republic an enslaved south and q free north.
democratic applause
WOULD PERISH LIKE SAMSON.
The republicans might, like madmen,
grasp the pillars of the constitution and pull
down the edifice, but like Samson, they
would perish in the wreck. If he could reg
lister wish in heaven he would ask not for
an extension of boundaries or multiplice-
tion of territory, not for flowing
rivers and fertile fields, but better far than
all that, he would ask that the man who
laid violent hands upon the constitution
might drop dead, as did the sacrilegious
Jew who laid his impious hand upon the ark
of the covenant Of the living God. [Demo-
cratic applause.1

the democrats he was greeted with
applause from that side of the House.
and the applause was reinforced with cheers
when Mr.. Lehlbach also cast his vote against

kind, and, as the southern republicans,
Houk and Taylor of Tennessee, Waddell,
and Mudd of Maryland and Wilson of Ken

was passed by vote Of 155 yeas to 149
