hoped that no one would deem it neceesa-

loved what Senator George said TODAY
about Jefferson Davis, that whether under

never betrayed a trust. The people be

IN the Senate chamber betraying daily
and hourly and nightly the highest

not for that that they eyecrated his
memory. 1t was because they had held
him responsible for atrocities unspeakablv

Mr.. Plat said he understood Mr..
Georges contention TO be that Congress
was powerless TO pass any law TO protect a
citizen of one State in his rights in another
State. 1t that were so it was pretty i'm
pOrtant that the country should under
stand how weak, powerless, insignificant
! he had almost said contemptible-the
Government they lived under. That
had not been the idea of an
American citizen. II had not been the
idea OF the eXpOunders OF the Constitution
or of the courts. He held that under the
Constitution there was power in Congress
to protect citizen II the enjoyment Of tho
rights guaranteed TO him by the COnstitu-
ton. and to punish those who deprived or
attempted to deprive him Of those rights
And if there were not laws already on the
statute-bOOk to punish IN any State any
infracti0n Of the rights guaranteed by the
Constitution. it was high time that such
laws were passed.
Mr.. GRAY referred to the fact that quite
recently President Harrison had been
hung in effigv IN the State of Indiana. He
moved 10 amend the resolution by adding
the words " and also a letter of instruction
10 said marshal to mako report IN said
case. - aud also 10 add 20 il the following /:
And that he be requested TO inform the
Senate whether in the alleged assault on
FAM any right secured to him by the Con
stitutiOn or the Laws of the United States
was invaded or violated.
Mr.. Butler offered an amendment in
structing the AttOrncy-General TO furnish
all the papers in the Office of the District
Attorney of Indiana or on file in the
United States Court there relating TO
the charges against W. w. Dudley for
corruption or Offering TO br1be Indiana
