sentatiyes. SENATE business.
WASHINGTON, June %. - The
House went into committee Of the
whole on the Federal election bill.
Bland tMO. twitted McCOmas for
having taken away from the black
men Of the District Of Columbia the
power Of local gOvernment. and
never giving Il to them again. This
resulted in an uprO5r on the HOOr,
Bland and McComas shouting at the
top Of their voices, amid the ap-
plause Of their colleagues and the
galleries.
McCOmas declared that Bland
affected an interest in eight or ten
thousand black voters i'm the Dis
trict, while, during his long service
here, he never raised his voice in
behalf Of the eight or ten millions OF
poor and oppressed black men Of the
country. He felt like calling him a
hypocrite.
Bland vehemently declared that
McCOmas and his colleagues were
hypocrites, in pretending 7IUr party
purposes an unfelt interest in the
negroes.
At this point the uproar became
so great that nothing could be heard
save the cOmminglei shouts Of the
delraters and the rapping Of the
Speakers gavel.
McCOmas managed TO shout that
the black man in this district was
treated like the whites, and he ap-
pealed to the people Of the South 70
treat the blacks and whites alike.
When quiet vas finally restored
Cummings y. W spoke against
the bill. The hill was a sectional
one; the republican party proposed
70 make the negro \ clISttel, 10 he
used a = cluvrnieu e whenever
necessary.
Henderson ,Ia-) read from thu
speech 81 llcmphiil the passage ie-
ciarins that the whites must either
rule or
LEAVE TIE SOUTH,
and that they would not leave it.
He wanted 40 further proof than
the declaration that tire blacks Of
South Carolina would not be allowed
to exercise the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution. He felt warrant
ed in saying that Il was rs danger
Gus rs armed rebellion, and he
meant it. He then read from an
interview in which Representative
Mills was quoted as saying that the
passage Of the bill meant an increase
In the number Of deaths among the
Federal election officers in the
South. He did not know il this
were true, bat If 80 It was another
defiance. He served notice that the
country would no longer submit Il
the rule Of n minority. The House
had been told what was needed was
not a new South but n new North.
They would get IL. The North had
peacefully and patiently submitted
TO this injustice. They had seen the
control Of the government by red
hands Trested from its proper chan
nels, and a new North was
at hand which would enforce the
law and the rights OF every citizen.
Let the south try little Justice.
The key 10 the situation was an OBJ
-ervation Of the law, and where
that could not be secured the law
must he made TO secure it. He
spoke briefly Of the recent exhibit
ton Of the stars and bars and the
Confederate gray ut Richmond.
He would not have them forget the
tender relations OF the war, but he
entered protest against being told
that a new North was needed when
the flag OF a dangerous south was
Haunting in the face Of the republic.
TIE CONFERENCE REPORT
on the IOstofiice appropriation bill
was accepted.
Ewart N. CT, n republican, op-
posed the passage Of the election bill.
As 10 the negroes political rights,
speaking for his own State, he I'M
hesitatingly asserted that no repub-
lican in the State, black or white,
was prevented from casting his vote.
He was sick and tired Of the senti-
mental talk Of a negro problem. IL
was delusiOn 10 suppose that the
negro was voting the republican
ticket sOlidly. Many OF them
were voting the democratic ticket,
aud it was getting more and more
difficult every year for the republic
an party TO control the negro. He
had no hesitation in saying that not
three-tenths OF the negroes Of the
South would vote for the republican
party If an election were held to-
morrow.
The conference report on the leg
islative. executive and judicial APP
preparation bill was adopted, aud
the House took n recess.
At the evening session there was
a very slim attendance. Several
addresses were made for and against
the election bill, and at lI:SO the
House adjourned.
