C., March 22,.—Republic- ans are of opinion that the movement begun in the Senate by the Demoernts to-day will have an {mportant influence upon the fall campalgn, and that tha precipitate introdue- tion of tho Spofford-Kellogg case’and the ns- tounding report submitted by Ben Hill will hereafter be characterized by the Democrats as ono of tho most congpfeuous blunders of their teniporary rule, , The ‘introduction of tho Kelloge-Spofford resolution, and. reports from tho Elections Cotiimittee, was evidently f. ‘surprise, although ‘they could not have. been. long postponed. When Ben THM -nrosa enrly {n-th morning. honr to submit them there: were © many Senators absent, and the galleries contained scarcely fifty people. The debate had not Jong proceeded, however, before the Sen- ators’ sents wote filled, and the gallery was packed. Thore was something In the debate toremind one of the exciting hours of the oxtra session, Itsoon became apparent that Bon Hill had put a ball in, motion which ho would much like to havéd stopped, and sev- eral othar Domocratic Senators were anxious to .assist him, but the Republicans did not choose to lend their aid to any attempt to stifle debate. ‘TNE MOBY SIGNIFICANT PRATURE of the day was the vote on a motion of Son- ator Thurman to lay aside, the ~Spofford- Kellogg matter and consider the Geneva Award bill, The purpose of this was to stop tho debate, In which the Democrats wero winning no Iourels. This motion was lost by a vote of 80 to 18, half dozen Demo- cratic Senators voting against it. Those who voted with Senator Thurman, It perhaps might be inferred, wore somewhat shocked at thovoxtromely offenstve torms employed by Ben fill in -his report. Hill desired to havo tha report sont to tho’ Government Printing-Ofice without being read, but Senator Tloar insisted upon reading the minority report then and thore, and the readIng of the majority report followed a3 a polltical necessity. Senator Tloar himself read his report as 5 part of his own specch, It was a sharp, clear, forcible, and pointed document, which will be found in the goneral press dispatches. It was signed by the throe Republicnn members of the Elections Committes, Senator HIM then, advancing inn somewhat dramatic way (as he scoms -to be fond of sensations, and ts getting, rather more of thomthan a thorough- y domestic man would wish), PROCEEDED TO THE CLERK'S DESK and, faelng the Senato with his*back to the prcgiding officer, consumed an hour and a halé In reading his own report, ‘The detalls of tho report havo been In a great fronsigp patlclpated and can be found substantial): in the brio? of Richard Merrick, Spoiford’s counsel, ‘The report pretends to contain an analysis of the testimony taken before the Comiuittes, but those who are familiar with the testimony saw thata portion of the report was a skillful exaggeration of such portions of the testimony as were | unfavora- ble to Senator Kelloge, Ignoring | evory- thing that was offered in| rebuttal, and contalulny, besides many, bold sasertions that tho Record contalns, things which it dovs not contain, Tha majority report did not scom to bo signed, and ts understood to be entirely tho work of Senator.Ulll. No other Democrat attempted to say a word in support of lt, ‘Tho malority Teport through- out treats Senator Kellogg as a criminal and his witnesses as accomplices. By Innuendo IG «aceuses President Hayes of having sought to ald Kellogg in defeating tho Inves- tigation by fang at hiv disposal the Fed- eral offices in Louisiana. ‘THE REPORT 1g FULL OF MALEVOLENCE, and the personal malice with which Senator Hil had conducteil the investigation was not concealed In the Janguage. It wasthe plea ot a rosveuting ofllear rather than tho opinion ofa Juc 3 When the reading was concluded, Senator Hoar asked that any Senator upon whose mind the extraordinary document read by Hill had made any Impression should give him their attention while he showed how little could be gathered from the report of the real nature of the ovidence, He then sharply onalyzod in 9 masterly, trenchant way 8 portion of Hill's report. The latter hod based the strongest polut of his report upon the testimony of a Polish Jaw who was proved to bo an utterly discreditable person. Speaking of this, Benator Hoar sald that Hill's report Testa “upon the unsupported testimony of a inan who has been once imprisoned os a thief at Bhip Island, once imprisoned at the Dry Tortugas, and, when iu the Rebel serv- Tee, had his head shaved and ‘was drummed out of thearmy for larceny, and who had similar experiences with the Union forces; aud ft ls upon that testimony,” sald Mr, Hoar, “that lt ls sought to divest the judgment o} Cnited States ‘in regard to the highost object of perganal and public 6 ar d the Senate of the ambition,—the nght title to aseaton this floor,”” BENATOR KELLOGG . then took the door, and, in 9 specch that |, slowed Yurmned with indignation, denounced Senator lili ns 4 prosecutor rather than a Judge, and at he had from the very outsetcon- ducted the casa with the threat’ that he ine tended to drive Kellogg from the Senate. Kellogg’a withering denunciation and tha severity of his Invective was something un- usual In the Senate, and the personal natura of It made it seem probable that Jill would make no personal response, bull he sat Ilatlesty In the Chamber, treating Kel- joge’s speech with a seornfil indifference. Mr. Kellogg reviewed the testimony in a sim- Mar manner to: Senator 1 it is evident that when the debate proceeds upon its mer- its the Democrats will discover that they lave precipitated a very unwelcomo political con- troversy, Thare are many Democrats already on record against the unseating of Kellogg. THE REPORTS, TM the Western Assnclaled Press, Waantxoton, D. C., March 22—Mr, Ifill (Georgia), from the Committee on Priviles and Elections, reported the following resolu- lons: Reanjved, That secon ing tothe evidence now known to the Benate, William P. Kellogg waa not chosen by the Legistaturo of Loulsiana ton seat iu the Senate for the term beginning March 4, 1877, and is not entitled to a sent in the samo. Resolved, second, That Henry M. Bpofford was chosen by the Legislature of Louislann to a seat inthe Senate for the tenn beginning March 4, 1877, and that he beadinitted to tho same on tak ing the onth presoribed by Inw. Mr. Jil] algo submitted a report in support OL ile resolutions, which he asked to have printed, Mr, Honr stated that he was instructed by the minority of the Committees to submit thelr views, nnd, as they were short, he asked. Jeave to read them, : Mr, till had no objections, provided he was allowed to read the majority report. Ir. Hour read as follows: Tonr. Tho understgned minority of the Committeo on Privileges und Bieetions, to whom was re- ferred the momorialof Lesee St, Epadonh clasts ing the seat now occupied by William Pitt Kel- Joga, submit the Sulowtog as thelr views: On the doth day of November, 1877, the Senate passed the following resotntions: * Resolved, That Willlam Pitt Kellogg ts, upon tho merits of the case, entitled toa reat in the Senate of the United States from the State of Loulsiana for tho term of six years commencin; the 4th of March, 1877, and that he be admaltted thereto on taking the proper onth. “ Reaved, Thut Henry M. Spofford ts not en- Bava @ beat in the Senate of the United m The party majority in tho Scnate’hna changed. since Kollogy took tho oath of office in pursue ance of the above resolution. Nothing else bas changedy tho fucta which the Sennte considered and determined were in existence thon ax now. It 1s sought by mere superiority of numbers, for tho firat tine, to thrust o Benator from a seat which he holds by virtue of tho oxpress and deliberate final Judgment of the Senate. The wot which is demanded of this party major- ity would be, In our Judgment, & great pub- lio orlme, It will bo, If consummated, one of tho zrent political crimes in American his- tory, to bo classed with rebellion, with the at- tempt to’ fake possession, by fraud of tho State Governamontof Maine, and with the ovorthrow of State Governments in the South, of which {t fetho fitting sequence. Political parties have too often been led. by partisan zeal into ‘mene- ures which sabdor judgment spit Bisappeares but {hey have over respected the constitution of the Senate, Men whose professions of rutim- ing loyalty tothe Constitution have been trusted by the penerous confidencs of American Poople fre -now to give evidence of the sincerity o holr vows. Tho Poople will thoroughly uti- derstand this matter, and will not be likely to deoelved again, Wedo not think préper to en-* tor here upon thadiscussion of tho evidence by which tho ciatmant of Kellogg's gent seoks to establish charges uffecting the Integrity of that Senator. Such ovidence can be found In abun- dance in tho slums of great citios, It fa not fit to be trusted in cases alfeoting the simalicst ainount of proporty, much leas te honor of nn eminent vitizon, or the title ta the object of so much de- sire ag 9 sont In the Senate. Tho ovidence ts not only unworthy of Eospect, or credit, but it is, in many instances, wholly irroconcilable with -un- disputed facts, and Kollogg has met and over- thrown it as evory point, . , Geonox FP. Hoar, ‘ANGUS CAMERON, ‘Jonn’A. Logan, TUR MAJORITY. . Mr, Tul! then snid that as the Senator from Masanchiusetts had insisted on reading’ tha iilnority Koport, he (IH) thought It due to the country that he should rend the mafority report, for there was nothing more desired by the inajority than o full publicity and the diifusion of the fucts in the case. Ie then stepped down into the area before the pre- stilng officer's desk, and, facing the Senate, proceeded to read the report. The report says: In the opinion of your Committeo the evidence now for tho first time fully tuken clearly and abundantly establishes tho following facta: Fine—That sald Wiliam Pitt Kellogg, then holding tho office of Governor of Loulsiuna, and ponding the canvass in sald oluction In. 1878, did conspire with tivers Rersons, and frald of such conspiracy did fraudulently uso the influence and power of bis office ng Govornor to prevent a fulr, free, and legul election in suid State, to the end that be might procure froin tho Commls- slonors of Election the return of n Legislature amajority of whose members should be of tho Republican party, and presumed to be favorable to his clection to the Senate, Sccond—That having fatled in this, said Wille Jom Pitt Kellogg, then holding the officu of Gov- ernor, did conspire with divers persons, and in ald of such conspiracy did fraudulently use tho influence and power of his ol as Gov ernor, to change the result as returned by tho Commisalonors of Flection, to the ond that bo might procure through false cortificates of cloc- Uon an organization ofa protended Legislature majority of whoso mombers should be of tha Repul Hican party, and supposed to be favornbio to hie election to the Senate, . Third—That sald Kellogg did oonspire with divors others to prevent, and by force, through tho Metropolitan Police, aided by. the army of tho United 6 elected members of tha Legislature, and cape- clally those of tho Democratic: party, from agasembting in the hall of the Benato and House of Hepresontatives in tho State-House of Louisiana, and = did. threats, by tho use of money, by promiso of offic, and by other corrupt practices, compel and in- duco to nssemble in sald halls Feapootively (a mob of his co-conspirators aguinst the wifl ot tho peoplo of Louisiana, many of whom had not boon clocted, and some of whom had boon nelther olected nor ourtified, to the ond that ho might prooure a pretended Legisinture for tho inauguration of Stephen 1. Packard as Gov- ernor, who he well know bad not beon electad, and from which mob he might procure tho form of his own clection to the Sunute, and which pro- tented cloction ha know sald protonded Gov- ernor would cortify. THE FOURTH BRCTION charges that Kellogg excluded persons eloct- ed, and adinitted thoso not elected to sald Legislature, for the corrupt purpose before name ‘The fifth section charges that Kellogg,” knowing those facts, withheld thom from or dented thotr existence before the Comimittes on Privileges and Elections, thus inducing a majority of the Committes to declare him chosen as Senator, Tho sixth section charges that, to provent the revelation of tho facts, Kellogg procured Government ofltcers for his co-conspirators, and charges him with bribing witnesses In the investigation bofore this Committee, The report then proceeds ‘in support of these conclusions quote long extracts from the testimony, polnts out that no tusti- mony was taken by the Committees that for merly Te ported in rayon, ot ARellogs. and in- eludes a legal argument on the case, Mr, lll moved that the resolutions and no- companylug evidence be printed and recom. initted, saying the Committees would be able to report it back Monday next, when hoe would call t¢ up for netion, ir, oar proceeded to debate the motion to print the evidence, saying it was important to have it printed, to show the people how entiroly the report of the Committce was AT VARIANCE WITH THK FACTS, The Committee sald there was no bulldozing Ju Grant Parish, Mr. Hoar referred In reply hat to the Colfax massacre in that par ish, He also denied that the charges of Kul lony's bribing witnesses, ote., were sustalued by the evidence, the only man who testilied to {t bo- ing Burney Williams, 6 notorious ex-convict aud rome. remark: a he was glad that that gentle man had been forced by the Teall of tho roports to go Into the evidence, which he had scorned to do in his minority report, In so doing, however, he would find that he had jumped out of the frying-pan Inte the tire, fany of tho thi charged inst this Barney Williams referred to another Barney Williams, but if the charge of bribery rested slone on Williams’ testimony Mill admitted the would net believe the charge proved, In his opinion it had much more foundation, it seemed to hin that the othor side desired tw precipitate the debate bofore the gviclonce was before tho Senate. For himeul? he was willing to walt until all the evidence was be- fore the Senate. own opinion was largely formed upon the evidence of the site (ing ember hiingelf, » Carpenter asked Hill whether the fact ites, did ‘prevent, tho lawfully. , -Was an orlginal gomuwhere In existence that th Ga.), in replying to Mr, Hoar's « it charged in tho report that Kellogz, since his adinission, had employed bribery and cor- ruption to enable him’ to hold “his seat, u fected the question whether or not he was elect ie Mr. TUML said he would frankly sny that evidence of corrupt practices sineu Kellogg's admission couli! only be used in securing his expulsion, not In invalidating his election, if the election was found valld, but it ‘vould bo used by the Senate in making up {ia judg ment as to whether the man who used cor- Tupt means to prevent investigation and to hold lis seat was or was not a inan Ilkely to Secure Iiis election by similar means, Mr, Carpentor asked Mr. [ill whether, If pofford was seated now, there was anything ta prevent Kellogg coming back next session, alleging that Spofford had bribed all the witnesses of this session, and gotting the case reopened again, Ar, Hi replied thatthe report stated the conclusions of the Cominittee aa to when the eclston of the Senate should be considered a8 final, . Mr. Thurman thonght this discussion of the question before the evidence was before the Senate was unusual and out of place. Tie moved to fey the motion on the table in ore aint the Geneva Award Dill might be en Up. xm motion was lost on a diviston,—20 to MR. RELLOGG then spoke on the motion to print. Io sald nothing but the extraordinary clreumstances oxtsting would justify him in occupying the time of the Senate even for a few moments, Tho circumstances were that the Senator from Georgia (HIN) had done the unpre- cedented thing of reading his own report, and predicat! ne his ilegations rales eHoge upon evidence alleged exist in the recor, but the existence of which Kek- loge denied, Not only this, but the Senator from Georgla, before any action had been taken by the Senatein the case, declared publicly and privately that he Intended to drive Kellogg from the Senate, and had al- ready prejudged th “He is my judge,” continued Kellogi “ It fs the Sens ator from Georgia who was Chairman of the Sub-Commitice at New Orleans. It is the Senator from Georgia who, before the Committee when my case wns being consid- ered In 1877, told the Committee thathe would prove that I had maniptiated the returns, and had interfered in the making of protests in connection with the Returning Board, It was the Senator from Georgian that camo on the floor of this Senate and moved to recone sider that Committee's report, asserting that he had that evidence in his possession. All this appears in the record. It was the Senator from Georgla that sent a telegram to the Clerk’s desk to be read, dated at New Or- Jeans, saying: “ We have discovered evidence that inculpates Kellogg in connection with the returns before the Ieturning Bonrd,”—a telegram, that I stated in public two or three times and, ¢ CHALLENGED. CONTRADICTION, was patd for to the amount of $300, and that it wns false, nnd the fact that what the Senator had said was without foundation is evidenced by what I now and here assort In the presence of this Senate—namely: that there can not be found fn the 1,200 pages of evidence taxen before this Committee one word showing that I participated, directly or Indirectly, in the making of any protests, in the manfpulating of any returns, or that I halany direct or Indirect connection with the Returning Board. I think that Is. plain enough. I assert that the Senator from Geor- fs, though he raked the slums of Louisinna, hough they brought perjured witnesses be- fore tho minittee, never was able to Predues one syllable, not one word, not ona utter of evidence in substantiation of those allegations, And let mo say that txcept in [egerdte the third Parish of New Orleans ery is not a syllable substantiating any one of the five polnts on which Spofford asked that thig case be reopened, That is’ plain enough, L think, Morvoyer, it must bo evi- dent to tho Senate that tho Senntor from Gcorgin came before the Senate with his re- pos pre ared, and “rend it Ina shrill yalco in ordor that. tho Senate and country might be prujudiced’ or ‘precinded from o further knowledge than what is contained In his report until’ the affects of it prejudicial to me HAD OPERATED NENE AND ELSEWIERE, knowing that, so to spenk, the Senate js na a pulpit with a huge sounding-board, so that: every wort goes to the utmost, ends of the and, Istand here to tell the Senntor from Georgia that there Is not one word of testi- mony In that record in substantiation of more than one-half of his allegations, and the Sen- ate will so find when they: cone to consider it, He scareely opens his mouth but out there files n blunder.” ‘Mr. Kellogg went on to say that Stokes, who was referred to by Hillas the judge ot Grant Parish, lind once been such, but was now a disappointed oftice-seeker, brought to Washington by Spoffard, and had had his ex- ponges, pald by the Committes while travel- ing back and forth between Washington and New Orleans. After. auotlng and commenting unfavorn- bly on Stokes’ testimony, Kellogg continued: “For once in.my history, thank God, I can stand up and talk about these things and chnllenge contradiction, and I will, when these resolutions come up, show the Ameri- can people whence proceeded the catacomb of corpses that were piled. in Colfax. Fwill show them the origin and details of that massacre, and linpregs the truth on the Sen- ate and people.” Mr. Kellogg then charged that the Commit- tea hastily adjourned after taking Stokes’ testimony, which they relied greatly upon to prove Kollogg's guilt, without giving him the opportunity to Inyestignta the character of the witnesses,—"all for effect on the coun- try,” he said, I will show,” ho continued, “that tho Senator from Georgia has CUT OUT WHOLE PAGES OF EVIDENCE favorable tome, I will show. you that this “public, prosecutor, who boasted In o recent etter inthe Savannah News that when he feted ag Senator he always acted not accord. ing to his preferences, but according to a stern {den of equal juatice,—I will show you what he has dons t) malign me personally, 1 will show you what he has done to make o case against ne and forestall public opinion, Even Mr, Merrick, counsel for Spofford, had not the chook to allude in his brief to the man Barnoy Willlans, and nothing but the malevolence of the Senator would have led hilin ¥ a larga part of ils report on. that man's evidence, Iwill necopt what Barney Wllliaina sald as ‘true If tho Senator will produce a single cltl- zen of New Orleans who will say on his honor asa gentioman that he would bellove Williams under oath.” Kellogg proceeded to show that Williams was a deserter, an ex-convict, and o man of the worst character, “I nm charged with manipulating witnesses,” he continued, “What ts tobe said of those who set Barney jilliame up in Hoa bustiipas in a pete sornde grocery in New Orleans, na e rl 0" was ‘tone ? 1did not bollove thaé the mali; uity of the Senator from Georgia would go so far as'to bring. up the testimony of Barney Williams and “make ho’ basis of n Inrgg portion of his repor I donot disguise thet this mattor concerns me much more than a seat in tho Senate, I sny what I do because I think thore isn fecl- Ing for fair.play In the breast of every eltizen, ‘Thoy despise a man who strikes a foul blow, Lsubmit that [have provocation. Ihave sat day after day ond geen the Senator from Georgiu bring up affidavits, not affidavits, but copies of what purported to sworn state ments.
