The Broussard Excursion from

here on Monday last as q second Sec

At this place a large number of peo-
pie were left by their choice, for the
reason that the six coaches were al

standing in the aisles and out upon
the platforms. The patronage ac-
corded the managers of this excursion
should be very gratifying to them,

neat profit upon the venture. The

Representative Otey, of Va,
amused the House and at the same
time told some plain truths concern
ing the objects aimed at by the
Olmsted and Shattuck resolutions for
Investigations of the suppression of
of suffrage in tho South. He said
1.-The logical end Of all such agita-
tions is negro domination in the
South. 1t means the reinstallation
of carpet Dagger agents of the demon
Of darkness and corruption. 1t means
the coming of a buzzard gluttoned
with carrion. 1t means the descend
ants of those who thirty-five years
ago, fastened their talons in the pros
trate body of the the South, like
those pitiless birds who led upon the
vitals of Prometheus when his help
less form was chained to a rock. Yes,
it means the return of those buzzards
gluttoned with carrion that are today
following the call of their diabolical
handles in Cuba, the Philippine
Islands, and in Porto Rico, who
exude such an odor that q mosquito
shuns them. Yes, they are SO mean
that the yellow fever germs die in
their presence. They are SO loath-
some that the small-p ox microbes fly
from them, and il a snake bite one of
them it kills the snake. As for the
ShaGtuck resolution, it seems that
neither that nor the Olmsted resoln-
ton will pass. They will not pass
until the fish-worm swallows the
whale, not until the snail outruns the
hare. not until Dutchmen STOP drink
ing beer, and not until the billy goat
butts from the rear"

AS the congressional investigation
