Sena- tor Morton reiterated his bolief that » further investigation of the claim should be had in view of recont developmonts., Ho was followed by McCreery, of Kontucky, in n spoceh of somo longth on the whole question of the Louisinna oloction. Tho Kentucky Sonator had caro- fully committed his speech, aud as ho ropented it from memory it sounded a8 though he was reading from abook. Ho retained the attontion of the entiro Henste and tho woll-filled gellories during all of tho time that he ocoupied the tloor, and froquent ontbursts of laughter, in which everybody joined, interrupted him withont disturbing his oquilibnum, Mr, McCreory has story-tellin; powors of no menn ordor, and thov wero wel omployed in o doscription'of tho way_in which cloctions are and have becn hold in” Louisiana, which was seathingly SEVELR UPON THE FEDERAL OFFICIALS in thnt Statoswho undertook tho munagoment of its offairs.

If a statement could bo securod of the Congrossmen who havo such intorost in tho banks, and made public, it would act a8 an offoctive OHECK UPON TIUEIR SELFISINESS when financial [llmpoaltimm are brought forward, and it was with this in view that Judge Buckner brought forward his resolution. The vesult was, that, while the roguired tiwo- thirds necossery to tho Iunanga of tho resolution wero nob obtained, it was demon- strated that thero {8 a strong disposition to bronk awny from tho National Bauk influences, tha voto being 146 yoas to 06 naye.

TILE PAYMENT OF MOIETILS, Mr. Morriam, of Now Yorlk, introduced a bill probibitiug the payment to Governmont officors or omployes of juformers’ moioties in all cases excopt those of regulsr customs-informors. This will prevent much frnudulent collusion on tho part of Govornment oflicers wheraby, in tho past, o groas doal of monoy has beon divorted from its propor place—to the credit of tho poo~ plo. Tho bill alto contains o clause prohibiting oflicials from using publio proporty for privato putposes, ‘Thero1s s manifest dotermination on tho part of Congresamen to cut off all man- ner of porquisites, whether thoy bave tho sanc- tion of immemorial usage or not. e TRANSPORTATION.

FOINT OF ORDER. _Tha morning Lour having expired, Mr. Morton Was rocognized by tho Ohair, Mr. McOREERY raised a point of order that he was eutitlod to the floor to address tho Sonate on Louisiana aflaira, The Chair overrulod the point of order, PINOHBACE'S OASE. BMr. MORTON moved that tho Senate proceed to tho consideration of the resolntions in rogard to seating Pinchback as the Scoator from Louis- iaoa. Mr, STEVENSON raiged the question of order that when the Louisiana matter wna last boforo tho Sonate, bis colleague (McCroary) was entitled to the floor to address the Sonate on the subjoct. He did not see how bo could be doprived of tho {loor now. The Chair overruled the the ground that tho Benate didnot adjourn while the Louisiana rosolution was pending: Had the Sonate adjourned whilo it was pending thie Sena- tor from Kentucky (McCreory), would now be ontitled to the floor, Mr. HAMLIN offored an amendment to the motion which the gontleman from Indisna (Morton) a fow days ago_gavo_notice ho would make, to tho effect that P. B, Pinchback be al- lowed to take his seat in tho Sonato upon taking the nocessnry onth, and the Committee on Amlnt of order, on Privileges and Elections subsequontly considor the grounds upon which his seat i contested, and report to tho Senato. The OHAIR ruled tho motion jout of ordor, tho motion of the gentleman from Indiana (Morton) being to recommit, and thorofore wus entitled to precedonca, Mr. MORTON said hie had not formally entered 1is motion, but bad only given notice that Lo would do o, ‘The CHAIR then ruled the amendment in order. Mr, MORTON thon reviewed his argument of & fow days ago s to the validity of the Kellogg Government and tho logality of tho Legislaturo in oleotivg Piuchback, and tho General Govern- mont boing bound by the decision of tho Btate tribunal on a quostion of State law or of State Coustitution, If tho CGovernment of tho United States szssumod |tho right to go bebind tho docision of ‘tho State tribunal in suck a question, thore wasan end of State Government, Since that argument, he said ho had received information charging Pinchback with proouring his election, and” of conduct in conngction with his election which, if true, ren- dored it improper for him (Pinchbick) to liavo s gont on this flaor. He (Morton), bnvinga due rogard for his duty ne o Sonator, did not fogl at liberty to withhold that information from tho Sonato, Had he withhold it, it would have been an ossumption on his part that Pinchbackshould firat Lo Boated, snd that tho investigation should bo made nfterward. IHo thought it his duty to bring tho information- beforo tho Bonate, and let tho quession de- volve upon the Sovate whothor Piuchback should bo first seatod and thon investigated, or whether the investigation ahould be mado first, Ho thereforc moved that the crodontinls of Pinchback bs_recommitted to the Committeo on Privileges and Elections, aud that said Com- mitteo have powor to sond for porsons aud pa- pors, and bo_instructed to investigato tie con- duct of ssid Pinchbaok in conncotion with eaid oloction, . Mr. CARPENTER (Thurmen in tho chair) said ho desired to submit somo remarks on tho Louisiana auomnn, but it would be impossiblo for him to do so_to-day on account of & sevoro cold. He therofore hoped that nttor the gontie- man from Kentucky (McOracry) closed,tho quos- tion would be deferred till Weodnesdsy, in order that o might addroas tho Bonato, Mr. McUREERY said in thers days of bare- faced lm{!udouce it was fearful to contempiato the condition of affairs in Loulsiana, Whon tho troublo first originated in thot Btato, tho Senato of thie Unitod Statos had responded to the geu- oral alarm by instructing ona of its ablest Comn- mittees to inquire into the State Goverument there, by whom coustituted, ete. That Commit- teo lad workod faithfully, and a mass of tostl- mony was collected which throw light upon the subject, but now, when tho timo comes for its uso [producing s volume of the wuthuuny]. tho Chairman tells mo it is uscloss. o (MeCroery) could find wmothing In history withont going back womo 2,000 yoars to oqual the humility of the gontloman, 'ho contenty of that volumo of tostimony should bo upon the memory of every Sonator hero, as it showed the true condition of affairs In Loulsiana, He arguod that it was t0o lata now to tatk about » prima facle caso, after proof had boen henrd. “I'he oyidenao had beon takon, and would satisfy ihe minds ot Benators of the "existonce or non- existenco of a logal State Govornmont in Louisi- ona, Ha thought that thoro never was o caso nualogons to the prusont one on the Amorican Coutluent or anywhore under tho sun, If Xel- logg had recelved s mnjority of tho votes, ho ‘was Governor of Loutsiana ; but, if he had ro- colved a minority, and hiad boou acated in his of- fios by » Foderal Judge, backed by the srmy Second—An smendmont providing that, Ir goreme, Bench NUMBER 157. intruder, and had no right to bo thero, Tho SHonator from Indiana, P\Iomm] had paid a glow- ing tribute to the Kellogg Government ; but he [«\[uflmeryl nover having bad his ationtion callod to~ tho oxcolloncy of tho inatitution, wos takon by surprise, Ho thought it aninstanco of dofonse in advance of attack, 'hiose erfimored with the Kellogg administration lived farthost from its ipfluence, [Lauglter on the floor pod lxy “ho gallorion.] Again, Senator Morton had R’ on of the decision of the Court boing final.

Ho argued that the Supromo Court of Louisinga had exprossed itsolf !;nvomb]u to the Kullt:fg Government bofore it was ecalled upon to_declde. That, was truo, as James N. Qasoy, Collactor of Port, iuformod the Prosident that the Bupreme Court was known to bo in nymphth; with tho Republicon Stato Govorn- .ment. Ho wonld not bayo nttemptod to mislead tho President, and the facts showed that the Kellogg Governmont was organized by tho court Dofore it waa a government. Tho Seuator from Indison “attompted to support his caso by argument. o (McCreory) would attempt to ovorthirow it by faots. If lie foll in this cnuse, it would bo for tho rights of_a down-trodden and oppressed ¥unplo. who would romomber with gratitudo the foeblo efforts of Limself in their behalf, Ho contonded that tho Fiftconth Amondment to the Coustitution bad been violated in the Louisiana eloction, Tho examination and cross-oxamina- tion of witnessos bofore the Committee has Iaid tho facts bofore tho Bonate. 'To give soma idon of tho searching charactor of that {nvesti- gotion, ho would mention that the Chairman osked tho Hon, Bamuol Armstead if ko could rond and write, oud that question, in viow of the fact that Armstoud bad ro- coived & considerable number of the voteu cast, for Bocrotary of Btata of Louisiana, That wau a nico question to ask an eminent divine and Christisn politician, [Loud laughtor on the floor and in the gallories.] Had o Fedoral Court oxclusive powor over all quostions belonging to the Stato? By thoe law of May 28, '70, the right to inatitute & suit in ‘s Fodoral, Cfreuit, or Din- trict Court had been given, providing the ques- tion was one of donial of right to voto on ne- count of race, color, or provious condition of sorvitudo. Tho doninl of suffrage to the black man would dofeat an oloction, but a denial of tho same right to tho whito man would lead to mo such consoquences, [Soneation.] The compnign of 1870 in Louisians, oponod auspiciously for thoso making efforts to overthrow tho Republican party in Louisiana. They wore encouraged to stand up to eave their homes, their altars, and their fircsides from car- pet-bag boggars, who wore driving commorce and prosperity from their doors, The Republi- can ‘party wore inilamod by dissonsion. ‘Lhoy hnd two convantions and two tickets, nnd dofeat was inovitablo, The United States Maxshal for the Btato chartored a steamboat, ond, aftor tak- ing on board sevoral barrols of whisky, hams, and choice ediblos, gallantly sailed up tho Mis" siseippi on his eloctioncoring tour. Thou fol- lowed ‘gnnv.l rocaptions of that gushing character only found among high-pressurs politicinas in very doubtful districts. [Renowed 'l'nuguturq A boat-load of orators had never appeared on thoso waters beforo; but that” did not succeed. Tho craft soon bogan to wear a dishoyelod ap- pearsnco. The orators bogan to look like buc- cancers [groat laughtor], and, after a retrospect of thocanvags as far as it had gono, thoy do- cided to turn back. Why this suddon change in tactica ? 1t was to obtain theso falso and fraud- ulent afiidavits to overcomo tho legal clection, and it was after tho roturn of the steamer that thoy sallied forth with blavk aflidavits and money to obtain by bribory and forgery the statemont roquired. ~ From the day that Marshal Packard's magnificout propeller returned to New Orloans, thoso orators who had made the forecastlo sound with their eloquencoe wandered off in pairs to obtain these frandulent ofiidavits. If a man hoord o pistol-shot, it was argned that the niggors were to be defrauded. 1Io quoted from tho testimony botore tho Come mittee at longth, and contended that thero w: 1o sottled plan to burden and obstruct tho rogis- tration. On the other hiand, the object was to mako it as gonoral ag possible. The electioq in Louisiana was probably the most orderly aifair aud quiet eloction held theroe for twenty yoars. Again reading from tho tostimony, lio’ nrguod that it was attempted to show that tho nogroes Lad togo 80 far to vote. Ho would give an illustration of the portion of Red River whore thore was s Eflm bend, somo forty miles around, and came back within four miles of the point - whoro the bend commenced. Tho neck of land being only four miles across, the negroes’ to voto must go all way around by water, and logt five fln{s in going to and ro- turning from the polls, it boing loeated at the upper sido of this nock of land. Wore white men subjected to the same inconveniences ? Certainly not. They took a dircet lino across the neck of land, wont to the polls, voted, and were homo ngain before dinuer. [Great Iaughter on the floor and in the galleries.] Mr. McCreory quotod from tho tostimony a8 to Carter folding Jacquos to his bosom whon ho camo_with the forged affidavits, and oxclaiming, ** Jacques, you aro & hell of a fel- low!" [Laughtor.] The CHAIR (Carpenter) stated that any mnn- ifestation of sport by persons in the gallery, either of npproyal or disapproval, was in violn- tion of the rulosof the SBenate, and upon its ropotition he would ordor the gallerios cloared. \r. McCREERY rosumed, and said the Con- stitution -of the Unitod Btatos guarantees to every Stato in the Union a ropublican form of government, and tho pooplo of n Stato should not bo disturbed in their ropublican institutions. ‘Whether tho enemy came from sbroad or from within the bordora of tho State, ko must bo mal and put down by tho Federal Governmont. In conclusion, he donied that tho Stato of Louisiana had a republican form of govorn- ment, and urgod that stopa shiould bo taken to protact hor against fraud and usurpation, At the conclusion of McCreory's spoech, Alr, SHERMAN moved that further consideration of the motion to recommit bo laid ovor till Wednes- day, and the Benato rosume consideration of the resolution reported from tho Finauce Com- mittee. So orderod.- ‘The Sonate went into oxcoutive session. After Aome time the doors were reoponed, aud the Sen- ato adjourned.
