C., April 3.—The debate in the House to-day was well attended and inter- esting on both sides. Proctor Knott, of Ken- tucky, was the first speaker, It was expected that bis speech to-day would be one of great cf- fect for the Democracy. It was a bloody- shirt speech on the Democratic elde, An ardent admirer of the Bourbon stamp iu the rollery = ania: Tt is a better bioody-shirt epeech than fryo's. 1t was a defensive argument, and was dealgued apparently as a repty to Garfield. ludeed, all the Democratio speakers have endeavored to refute Garficld’s strong polnts, Proctor Knott expecially tried 10 prove that the peopis of Ken- iucky did not originate the Jaw which the Dem- ocrats now seck to repeal, but he was compelied to admit that the Democrats, a5 Garfield charged they ald, * VOTED SOLIDLY For TIE LAW. itis now said that every Democratic Senator voted for thts bill, and they did so 28 a step to sceure human rights. Knott took the customa- ry Democratic ground, that the law should bo repealed because It is unconstitutional, Hauk, of Tennessee, alinust the only Repub- Mean from the South, made his maiden speech, and it was one of the notable speeches of the session. it attracted attention as much on ace gount of the fact that Mr. Hauk ts W native of ‘Tennessee, a Unlon man and ReputHcan, as an account of Ite intrinsic merita, Tue spcech was delivered in very forcible, casy, and earnest way, und showed that the South has at least one Republican who will tuke prominent rank in the House. Tho speech wag PULL, OF TOINTS which the Democrats will find it difficult to an- awer, Here are some of them: -Aftor the War there were disturbing elements in many places, but theso clemente wero largest whure there were the most Democrats, and whore there was the largest aumber of colored men who desired to votu tho Republican ticket. If this law should be enforced instead of re- penled, fair elect{ons in the South would be pos- aible, and many Democrats who now falscly represent so much in Covgresa would bo sup- planted by the Republicans. No Federal sol- dler anywhore ever prevented n Democrat from yoting or interfered with the ballot-box, Tho Freaident’s polley of good feeling was well meant, but a MAD NOT BEEN PAIRLY RECEIVED by the South, Ton years ago the South’ was Republican, What have become of the Repub- Hean States? They have been crushed by ter- rorism and bulldozers. ‘Te Democrats arecon- stantly prating about tha unconstitutionality of the law. Mr. Haul had never scon a Wemocrat fu the South who did not thoroughly under. stand the Conatitutfon, whether he coutd read or not. Ex-Secretary Robeson made bis’ first speech, which showed that lols to take rank as one of the foremost debaters In the House, The speech was strong, logical, conylncing, and was doliy- ered with great carnesiness and power, Mauy Ilstened to hin at first out of curiosity to know of what material ONE OP GRANT'S OLD CADINET officers was made, but they followed him to tho close out of admiration for his great ability, and his forcible presentation of the Republican alde, Hisarguinent as to the constitutionallty of the Republican position was unanswerable. He showed tho fallacy of the Democratic assumb- tion that the repeal proposes merely negative legislation, It Js, on the contrary, he said, an aflirmative declaration that the civil authorities shall not keep the peace at the polls, und tho Republicans stand firm to resist the ailirmative enactment of that proposition, The Democrats FREQUENTLY INTERRUPTED to know what jurisdiction the United Biates could have within a Btute, Mr, Robeson had at hand a decision of the Supremo Court to the dret fugitive slayo ‘case, which ngserts that wherever the United States has guar. anteed 8 right, or has 9 duty to perform, it also has the power under the Conatitution to enforce that right,and while under tho decisions of the Supreme Court tho United States has no voters of its own creation, st males tho electora of States {ts own, and under the Conetitutlon CaN PROTECT THEM in the exercise of thelr rights in voting at Fed- eralelections, ‘The legal positions of Mr, Robe- son's speech wero stronger than those of any speech yet detivercd.- : An incident of Robeson's speech was the per- sistent, almost impertinent Interruptions by ‘Mr. McLane, of Maryland, who represents tho politics of the old school on the floor, and who brings with him, apparently, the con- ceft, assumptions, ‘ond arrogance. of that school... Bir. Robeson showed: how fallactous: is the parallel which. Bena. tor ‘Thurman aud »Frank Hurd attempted to draw between British procedeota and our {n- atltutions, aud concluded with a peroration of APRIL 4, 18799—-TWELVE force, ‘strength, and eloquence that has not been | for holding all national auirpassed in Congress for many years, THERE WAS ONE OTTERANCE which order-loying Republicans will be glad to note, Keferring to Frank Hurd's menace of yesterday, that the President would not daro to veto the bill because “his title is so defective and his tenure of office so uncertain,”* Hobeson sala: “E: hope he did not mean that, If ho did, and that is ‘the giant of revolution whose baby fingers are seen in this Howse, the responses from all over the cotintry to-day arc but the mutterings of 8 storm which will in- crease with rosistloss power until the men who endeavor to unsettle the title of the President of tho United States will bo forever swept from the political horizon.” MM, BLACKBURN, of Kentucky, mado a speech which was greatly praised by his admirers, It was o vigorous, earnest, personal speech, fall of declamation and rounded periods, with a strong Kentucky flavor, It was rather ag arraignment of the Republicans for the past than support of the Democratic poston on constitutfonal grounda. lt contained some startling statements which. perhaps the Democratic party of the country would hardly approve, ‘He maintained thut the House had absolute power to coutrol the army at any time by withholding supplies, Negative legislation, he said, is never revolu- tionary, aud ho Jaid down a programme for legislators which practical men will hardly bo Ikery to adopt. He clatmed that nobody en- titles themselves to credit. among the people by coacting aflirmative laws, but by REPEALING OBNOXIOUS ONES, and went back to the days of tyrante for his quotations. The specch, which was delivered with great force, notitied the country that the Democrats will never surrender; that they will remain here during the period of the constitutional Ife of Congress, March 4, 1831, unless theso Jaws are repealed, mncan- while withholding suppiics; and to warn any weak-knecd brother from the Northern wing of the Democratic patty that they must follow to the end the policy of no surrender, Blackburn closes with this duthoritativo threat: “Ho who dallics {6 a dagtard, and ho who doubts 18 damned.” - Blackburn's speech wasmarred by a gratuitous personal assault upon the President. The sentt- ment in {t which will most attract the atten- tion of the Republicans, snd wiich will most glarm the North, is the dollberate and carcful declaration of the Democratic purpose to repeal the Supervisor law and pass the proposition before the House. Mr, Blackburn, speaking by authority sald, “ Wo don't futend to stop until ‘wo have stripped the statutes of the last yeatige of war legislation.” In this deliberate declaration of.a man who Is too bravo to be politic, the entire Democratic programme is re- ‘vealed, THE DEDATE. Tothe Weaterh Associated Press. Wasnixaron, D. C., April 8.—In the Houss the debate an the Army Appropriation bill was continued by Mr. Knott. Ho spoke of the great and historical importance of the principle in- volved. Ho characterized it as the great funda- mental principle of republican liberty, that the ballot-hox should be protected from the slight- est approach to military power, and that the voter glial) bo left absolutely free in exercising at the polls the highest prerogative of the clti- zen. He quoted the ssnglink statute of George Il. for the remoyal of troops from the places whero an election fs to be held, and cited Blackstone, “That it is essential that clections shall be, rbsolutely free, and that, therefore, all undug influences are Wegal and are prohibited.” He tad expocted thut atch a question would haye been discussed on tho other side with calmness and digaity, but in this he had been GUIEVOUBLY DIwAPrOINTED, particularly in counection with the epcech of ‘Mr. ¥ryc. That speech, while tt might have been appropriate in the “emall fry’? of his party at ‘cross-roads* or a village barroom, ‘was unjust to that gentloman's genial and geu- efous pature, Mr, Kuott concluded bis speech with a state- mentof the beneficent reforms that would be effected when the Democratic party. captured the Capitol,” as bo firmly belicyed it to be inthe plans of Providence that the party of.the people should so triuimpt. . Ho did not {ntena, and he did not think his party {utended, to be led away from the ques- tion under consMeration to the discussion of ANY COLLATERAL 138UB whatever, but it intenéed to move right on to the accomplishinent of the high purpose upon which they were resolved. Jo oxpreased his nuetonishment at the statement that the obnox- fous words which it was now proposed te wipe from the statute-vook had been ineorted on motion of Senator Powell (Ry). and sald Ken- tucky was proud of mauy vf her sous, but of none of them was she prouder than of Powell. If he hud done nothing lu his long and useful career oxcept stand dayepfter day and contend manfully (aa he did) for the purity of the batlot-box and for the non-interference of tho military with the elections, tint act alone would have secured to him the affection of every lover of Nberty, and a memorial more lasting than sculptured marble or moked brass. é ‘The Democratic party simply intended when “OAPTURED TUB Carton? to throw off the chains that bad been thrown around the people, to plant iss banner on tho domino of the Capltol, emblazoned with the legend, * Equal and exact justice to all men; exclusive privileges to none. it intended to protect the purity of the ballot-box, which was tho vorner-stons of personal Hberty and of free government, nud to sve to ft that the military shall at all times, and under. atl circumstances, bo subordinate to the civil suthority. it in- tended to preserve the ancient birthright of the Anieriean citizen to trial by jury in all ita purity.

He confined himself to the question of law Involved in the discus- sion, and aald it {6 proposed here to reatrain the elyll officers of the United States from keeping the peace at any olection in anyStnte. By what means? By civil meana, not by military means, for tho right of the cfvil officers, the Marehal of the District, if you please, to summon a posse comitatus Is a right to summon the ordinary military tompantes that may be within the body of his balliwick. The right to summon armed troups if they be within the body of the bnili- wick fs a civil, nota military right, and is in the interest of the inviolabillty and atrength of the clyil law. Can that be doubted by the any Iaw- yert Can it be contradicted by any man? The jurisdiction of the United States comes within the States wherever it has any United States duty to perfotm. That is not only acnse, but goo Inw., Wherever the United States has guaranteed aright, wherever aright comes by the Constitution and is guaranteed by It, there the United States bas a right, and must have a right, to enforce and ‘ CANRY OUT THAT POWER. Mr. Aimmel—Where has the United States Quarauteed the right to vote? Mr, Roberon—tt has guaranteed the right to every man jo Maryland who has a right to vote for the must numerous branch of the Staic Lexislature, that he shall yote at a peaceable election for members of Congress. [Applause on the Republican side} Know that the Supreme Court bas’ declared that the United Btates has no voter of its own creation in the States. I know that {t has declared that the right of suffrage ig not civen in the Statice by the Constitution of the United States, but that docs not cover the case. The Constitution pro- vides thut the House of Representatives shall ‘be composed of members chosen every second year by the pcople of the several States, aud that the electors iu cach State shall have the quaitications requisite of the most numerous branch of the Leqislature as given by the State. The guaiifications (within the limita of the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution) sre made by the States, The United States ‘docs not confer the ricut of suffrage on these ind!- viduals, but the United States adopts to its auf- fraue, by description, the class that has already ahs right of suilrago giveu to it by the States. 2 MARES THEM ITS VOTERS for the election of its officers, and it is bound to Rusrantee to them o freo and fair election. Applause on the Republican side.) It fs tech- ically and yerbally true that the United States does uot confer the right of suffrage on those men who vote for the most numerous branch of a State Legistaturo; that the right of suffrage and quallications neccseary to it are prescribed by the Btates. But the United States docs ray that every man who bolonys to that class, cvery msn who haa that qualification, shall be an electar for members of the House of Reorc~ sentatives, That {so right which it puarantecs. What is the guarantee of the United States worth if ft is not clothed with power to carry it out Mr. Robeson argued that the proposed legisia~ tion was unconstitutional, and continued: My eg from Ohio (Hurd) bas sald it becomes us to LOOK SNANPLY AND KEENLY as to the use of the military power, for by it Republica have always died. I take issue with him there. The Inst tinal blow at the liberty of the Republic bas come from the sword, but it has uot been until some branch of the Govern- ment has usurped to itself the rights which ‘it did vot enjoy under the Constitution and laws of the country, It has not been until some branch of Government—usually a branch claiming more specially to repreeent the popular will—has usurped to itself the powers that did not belovg to it, It was only after the Long Parliament of England lad discusted the coun- try with {ts disregard of vivil oud personal rights, and its assumption of everything that holopg to the Government, that the stern sol- dor, Oliver Cromwell, dared to go to that House ond dissolva it With milltary power, It wae only after the French’ Assembly hod made France, its fair yinetlod bills, run red with the blood of {ta best citizens; not until Europe wns appalled at the scenes of murder perge- trated there; not until the world {tself stood oghast at the crimes that wero committed in the name of liberty, that young Napoleon with ‘is armed forco was able toscizo upon the Gov- ernment, My frlonds {addressing the Demo- cratic side of the House), it is from disrupted systoms of government that military power arises. It {sin the confusion, the disorder, the Jack of writs to be executed by civil officers of the law; it fs within the smoke of such a con- test that “the mun on horseback" rides in, and LIBERTY 18 BACRIFIORD TO ORDER. Bo long as the civit process of law may be prop- erly exccuted by civil officers in this country there is no dangor of military power, The strong arms, the clear hends, the brave hearts ofour people North and Sonth would never yield to a standing army were it 5 million strong, unless it became absolutely ueccssary under the pressure of the usurped and arbitrary power af some trresponsible member of the system to sacrifice liberty to order, ‘That time will never come in this country, unicss you, my friends, disregard the pluln teachings of his- tory. iy friend from Ohlo (Hurd) aleo took occa- sion to say In allusion to the Executive of this country that his titte was {n doubt, and that Is tenure was not yat certain, 1 donot think that my friend meant that, because if he did he meant to appesl to the giant of revolution. Lot mo say to fim that the responses all over the country to-day are bus the mutterings of o storm Which will increase in vigor and fury and fn resistless powor until the men and party who endeavor to unsettle the title of the President will be swept forever from the palltical horizon. [Loud appluuse on the Republican side and in the galleries.) MN. BLACKBURN said ho waa but a voor student of his country’s history who was not able to galley himecif that from the foundation of the Constitution down to the present time it had ever been held (aud that by the lighest authorities in the lund) that it was fn the power of the House to control the employment of the army by withholding sup- plics. Inthe very paturo of things the pro- paused repeal could not be revolutionary. Neea- tye tegislation was never revolutlonary. ‘The Constitution did oot give the right to the Presl- dent tosend ortny forces into any State, even to suppreas doincstic violence, By uo means. It required the President to protect any State from invasion, but only conferred upon him the right to send soldiers to that Stato to SUPPRESS DOMESTIC VIOLENCH when the Legistaturo of that State or Governor should make a requisition upon him, He was not permitted to anticipate domestic violen —nelther he, nor the Legislature, nor the Goy- ernor. Domestle violence must have been in existenco, and thut fact must have heen cert!- fied to him bs the Legislature.
