VANCE ON THE FORCE BILL.
CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH FROM
THE SENATOR.
He Wants North Carolina to Continue
to Enjoy Her Ante-Rsvolutiousry
Rights Congregational Proceedings =
Capital Items.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 15.-lspecial.l
Senator Vance delivered one Of his char
acteristic speeches to-day in opposition to
the Force bill. He said that for about one
hundred and thirty years prior to the adop-
tion OF the Constitution the people Of the
colony OF North Carolina possessed and ex-
ercised the privilege Of controlling their
own elections. Under the British rule this
right was not denied them. When it
came 10 ratifying the Constitution and en-
tering the Union North Carolina protested
against the clause authorizing Congress TO
change the time, place, and manner OF
holding Federal elections, until they were
assured by the trainers that that clause
was intended TO be exercised only
i'm the event that State refused
or neglected TO exercise the right. Senator
Vance said il remained for the American
Republic through the dominant party, 10
first propose to deprive North Carolina of
that right. He then read brief abstract
Of the provisions of the BILL showing the
viciousness Of its character.
REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.
In the House to-day the bill to appropriate
$l0o 0O0, 600 to erect monument at Fort
Green Place, Brooklyn, 10 the memory Of
American soldiers in the Revolution who
died on the British prison ships. This bill
was first introduced ninety-seyen years ago,
and has come before Congress many times.
To-day it was really defeated by Demo
cratic votes, as enough Republicans
supported it to have passed IT. had The
Democrats been united. The Democratic
Congressman from Brooklyn and New York
were indignant at what they conceived t.
be want of good faith on the part OF Their
party associates. Nearly all the Demo-
Gratis voted to second the bill, and this lee
its friends to conclude that they would vote
for its passage.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Representative Tucker has succeeded In
getting the bill appropriating $4,000 for a
public building at StauntOnl favOrably re-
ported to-day. 1t having passed the Senate,
If he can secure an opportunity for vote
in the House the bill will probably pass.
