en eae SENATORIAL STUMPING. Political Debate Yesterday Over the President’s Hamburg Letter. SPEECH OF SENATOR EDMUNDS. The Democracy Another Name for Organized Rebellion. The Ensanguined Shirt in the Hands of Mr. Logan, ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC The Cohorts of the Union To Be Bowled Down with Dirt, CONSPIRACY. MR EATON IN DEFENCE OF HIS PARTY. | Wasurnctox, August 7, 1876, The resolution of Mr. Morton to print 10,000 extra copies of the Message of the President and accompany- ing documents in regard to the rocenf trouble at Ham- burg, S. C., gave rise to an extended political debate in the Senate to-day. Mr. Edmunds was entitled to the floor, and he proceeded in continuance of his remarks from the point whero he suspenaed on Saturday. He sald :— SPERCH OT MI. EDMUNDS, The expense of printing the exira copies proposed would be Jess than $300. it bus been said on the other side that this was an electioneering document and ought not to be printed at the publie expense Every document which affected the weltare of the people wa or ought to bo, an slectioncering or political docume ecause the people were entitled to know what was gowg on. Were the senators on the other side 0; to this resolution because they were afraid the people of the United States would find out the truth? He then referred again to the constitution of he state of Texas, about whieh he bad spoken on Saturgay, and argued thatthe State bad overthrown the sysiem of public education and violated the pledze to stand by that system, This action was taken when the democracy, which was merely another namo for or- ganized rebellion, in that State cume into power, If that was equality beforo the jaw, about which so much had been said recently in plattor and letters of ac- ceptance, it was high time the ple of the Un:ted | States who did not believe in humbugs, delusioos, and | jes, should carefully consider the ject. He argued that the people of the South did not intend that the colored man should make himself capable of defending brs nigh uther in the forum or in the field. That Wus the painful aspect of this case, which it was at- tempted by platforms and lotters to xugar over. In all ‘uses Of murder in the South for political reasons, the sand of justice was paralyzed, and could not go forward in prosecutions. If the leaders of public opinion and Nhe authorities there did not wish these thiugs, they were willing t¢ do nothing to prevent them. Was it anyust in the republican parfy to call attention to these facts? Was there any bloody shirt in this? It would | not do to say that the republican party hated the peo- Pie of the South. As well might it be said that the hun- @red thousand clergymen in tlie Unite States hated ‘Wrongdoers because every Sabbath morning they read thé Ten Commandments and exhorted their congrega- | tions to keep them. - i} Mr. Eamunds then referred to the Hamburg difticul- | ties and read trom the Charleston News and Courter au | article in regard to that affair, Resuming, te argued | ‘that in the South tne right of the colored men to lave | amilitia company under the law was held to bea | menace toward any community, ‘That was demoeratic doctrine, When the white nen the South were 1m the tield fighting against the government and the col- ored men were loft at home, when the homes of revels depended almost entirely on the guod will of the colored men alone, they were as safe ax Senators now are in this Senate Chamber. There was no menace then. Ho did not want vengeance for all these crimes in the Boutn, but he did wish to see the calm majesty of tho Jaw visited on the perpetrators of these erimes. There was no instanco stuted yet in which the glorious de- mocracy in any th had punished any murderers who co ers lor political pur- | poses, i few lessons like that of Hamburg would be guilicient to show the clats of men recent!y evfran- Glised that they must not vote for that party which | had given them jiberty and their rights, He then reviewed the legisiation of Congress on the Amendments to the constitucion, aud suid first, those who voted against the thirteenth amendment in t| Benate were Mr, Davis, of Kentucky; Mr. Hendrick: fow the democratic candidate tor Vice resident; Messrs. McDougail, Powell, Riddle and Sx These men represented the death as well as the ment of faith of the democratic purty, Here was the democratic candidate for Vice President, comng from frce State, solemnly recording himself In tavor of re- taining toq institution of siavery, when it wus proposed to get rid of it ma perfectly constitutional way. That legislation was followed by the Democratic Convention at Chicago of 1864, of which Mr. Tilden was a distin- | guished member, and which declared tho war for the Prosorvation of the Union a failure. Mr. Morion said, in the course of the debate on the thirteenth amendment tn the Senate, that Mr. Hen- Gricks denied the power of Congress of ol the people of the United States to abolish slavery by « constitu. tional »mendment. Mr, Edmunds, resuming, said, personally, be hada reat respect: for the democratic candidate for Vice Breen but, as he (Mr. Hendricks) denied the power Df Cougress to make these amendments, it he should by any accident get into the Presidential chair, away would go the thirteenth amendment and all the others, then read from the Journal of the Senate ns to the « Mon on the fourteenth amendment, and mentioned tho+o who voied against it as tollows:—Messrs. Conway, Da- vis, Doolittle, Guthrie, Hendricks, Johason, McDougall, Norton, Riddle, Saulsbury and Van Winkle. Tho States | which ‘voted st this amendinent were ail ander | control of the democrats, They wero Maryland, Deia- | ware, Kentucky and Texas. ile then referred to the fitteenth amendment, and said the Senators who voutd against it wero Mezars. Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, | Hendricks, MoCreery, Norton, Patterson of Tonnes. | seo, Saulsbury, Vickers and Whyte. Tuo j which yoted~' against it were California, re, Kentucky, Maryland, Oregon and Tennessce, y democratic State voted against tbeso amend- nents, and yet in the recent mantiesto put forth from §t, Louis and the still more recent ove put forth from Saratoga the democratic candidates, in Spite of the his. tory of the, party, said thas they were happy to ac- tept the presen! situation, to give to everybody their constitutional rights, Tho people were told and asked bo beheve that tuere had been a sudden® conversion of the democrauc party. There were not many who would believe that tale. The democrats bad steadily voted against all civi! rights bills, and yet the country are askedto trust the rights of the colored people to that party. Was there ever such a mockery? It shocks common sense avd human credulity, Senators might say that he (Mr. Edmunds) was making a politi- cal speech. So he was, and overy speech wade here shouid be a political speech, because embers of Con- gress were ciccted to secure to the people all bieesings Under the constitution. . He next read trum the democratic platform adopted at St. Louis, and said be would not say it was disbon- est. That.would not be parliamentary. But he would Bay if those who had framed it had bewn dishonest men tuey would have resorted to exactly such delusions and deceptive phraseviogy to gain tho ear of the | people. Tilden ana argued that if he should be elected the kind Di inw aud kind of constitution he would administer | would be laid down by the &t. Louis Conrention. The | peace and unity which Mr, Tilden spoke of exisied at | Albany snd Indianapolis, but iv Mississippl and Soatn » Was no peace and order. He argued that Congress had shown that the ie party should into power Bll legisiation to secure equal mgbts to the colored pie woul be swept away. Jt had already been Atinounced tuat Congress had ho power to leyisiate or | to enirce any of these aimendinents, That right be- Jonged to tue United States, Had not this senate seen | on an appropriation b:li a sweepiug proposition on the | part of ine House of Keproventatives to repen! overs law, to sceure every guardiansnip and inspection over | lection tor membera of Congress even? Every these subjects Had been discussed bere there had eraily been one reply drow the other side, and that ag that the repubiicad party still kept up bate aud auimoaity toward the people of the south and flaanted the bloody shirt. It there was any one daty which the Congress of the United states owed to the whole people | {twas to unmask every fraud whch apy party might titempt to perpetrate upon the people. He denied tuat the republican party had any hatred toward the people of the South. it bad passed no amendment whieh was | said to be wrong. In conciusion he said the republi- tan party wanied peace and not a condition of casve and jlocracy in the South. SPEECH OF MK. LOGAN. Mr. Logan, (rep.) at Lil, ‘spoke of scones now tran. spicing in Cong: said it was proper to scan well the political and social horizon and see in what direc: | ton the craft was drifting and watch caretully the | Fection 1 WAS being driven by the gales, Le spoke | of the late War, and reierred to the history of France and other pations to show the condition of peopie siter having passed throngh a greet internal struggle. | He next sywke of the history of the republican purty | iu Ks attempts to restore the country to peace and | perity and the obstructions which the party bad met, and argued that those lately in-reboilion, in re- tarning to the Union, must become satisfied with the tondition of things as they found them beiore the | machinery could have a smooth surince. One of evituble consequences o. a long war was bhe fo develop to an ynusual degree our produc. tive pewers. This. in that portion of the country free from the devastating eects of war naturally brought about hich prices, both of labor and produe- Hons; and, With (hem, a corresponding idea of ex- Speculation ran rite, rleaping all moderation, The great foree whiten, pinced | or more than an ordivary attorney's feo, 1s deemed j slums and quired to submit to Congress such information, but what right bad he to send such information as this | pgainse people of wo States to the senate. Tbe Pres- | would | under A. R. Shephard and Sabcock wero the cause of them In active operation ceasing suddenly, ‘the natural effect is upon us. He referred to the great agricultural interests as not having received the attention they were entitled to, and the antagonism growing up be- tween them and the railroad interests ing been en- couraged by demagogues, instead of trying i a prover manner to bharmopize them must be when reat ipterests come in contlict. then spoke of the great lesson learned by the late war and the tendency to centralization and the necessity for tt to a exient, and said to have purdoved treason sooper than was done would have materially interiered with rivet- ing upou our country the principles mauntained by wur, and would have rendered the victory of govern meut ana loyalty over rebellion a nullity and revived tn the balis of Congress the contest the war was sap- posed to have geitied, Tho extravagant idea of “Staves rights,” beid by many, had long boen a thorn in the side of the government, and bad necessumly to be modified, and the public mind bad naturally drifted in this direction. He demed that the republican had been untaithiul to its trusts. He thee. spor the return of Southern men to Congress and satd:— ; THE CRY OF REFORM, At last the time came when the uneasy spirits of the land deemed 14 proper to admit all again into the coun- cils of the nation. This brought a new element into the solution of the already gncompleted problem, and, combining it with the crash of 1873, we see dee veloping a system which bodes uo good to the coun- uy. ‘© need not tear anothor rebeilion soon, but our danger lies in another direction. Crafty men have rashed to tne front, urging on the sway mg element with the ory ot ‘Rott eas and corruption !'' hoping thus to foist themselves upon the and tke possession of the country once more The very willingness of the republican party to jay open its in- most heart to inspection and its desire to root out the least remains of evil 1s taken advantage ot to strike ai its vilal energies and cripple it in the work it bas Veen so patievtly and faithiully periorming. Sir, it would seem as il we bad enaeenly leaped backward into the distant past to gather models from the Court of Venice, the Spanish Inquisition and the Star Chamber of James L alter which to model the Congress of Kach une: plained business iliy letier cach mistake in nm old accouni the centennial. transaction — ot eaiculation opening to @ mine of corruption, and is heraided over | the country as the commencement ol a discovery which 18 to shake the country to tte very centre, The very filth are diligently scraped jor wit- nesses who, for momentary notoriety, aro Teady to manufacture some tale ef scandal, Worn out lobbyists, who have clung upon the skirts of Congress tor years like parasites, are rebabilitated and brought to the front. hia g id pe. ientiary convicts are brought to the uid of men who are dealing out slander, lies and scandal to blacken character of some prominent man, The graves are asked (o aid and the dead to assist 1p the work of defamation, He said he did not stand here to-day a the apologist for any misdeed or dishonesty ; but in the inwerests of honesiy and tair dealing, Had the repuvleau party adopted the method of concealing and covering up trom pubhe gaze the errors and {rauds of its officials as dil the democcatic party when in power, the cout try might welt complain, but we have not Let tho country answer. But, sir. the primary object of tn- Vestigution appears no longer to protect the revenues of the country and correct errors, but to destroy the reputation of those who stand 48 promiment candi- dates for chief positions or those holding chiot tions. So long as this is confined to altacka of Ina Viduals and Wie press we have nothing to do with it officially, no matter how much we may deprecate it, but when Congress. or one of us. camuittees is made use of as @ weapon to assist in hunting down good pamos, and slaughtering hitherto untarnisbed characters, it is bigh ume for us to call a haitand look whither we are tending. If such, sir, is the result of the first shgut taste of power by this di turbing clement what are we to expect should 1 through the eflcct of the swaying tide of ‘human senti- ment, or the accidental turn of the political wheel of fortune, come into Jull control of the government Already the want of faith :n the possible integrity of government officials ts beginning to be riveted on the minds of our people, and yet at atime when thore is, in fact, not so much corruption, relatively, ax during the palmy days of democratic rule. It is timo tor up to have the moral courage to say to the accusers of our public men and to scandalmongers that we and our public servants are presumed to be snocent, and that charges to receive notice must be Of a grave character, properly presented, with # reasonable probability that they wili be sustained und coming legitimately within purview of Congress. In other words, it 1s ume ior men to have courage to say to all who come with their stories that we claim to be a party of honest men; that we stand here as the representatives und delenders of honest men and not of thieves. THR KNSANGUINED SHIRT. Sir, Let ali deeds stund torth, but lec not damnable crimes of treason and treachery to the country be covered up by vile vililicatious and slanders of the country’s deienders and preservers. When a pariy will allow poor aad unfortunate negroes to be mur- dered by wholesale, merely because they will not vote the democratic ticket, 18 Hot the fact patent to all that | by force and intimidauion im the South, and by slander and a villainous system inaugurated, they expect to ob- tain power? Is 11 not true that every man who became protminent as a soldier during the war against rebelhon that bas stood by bis guns and been faithful to the Ye- 1p party has been assailed ip every way poseible troy his influence with the p ? Sir, iu my Judgment a conspiracy exists tv-day as much 80 a8 it did before the war to obtain cession of this govern- mentioned, Murder of pegroes, intimi jalsehood and every theans possible to be used, so thut the power thut Iniled to destroy !he government by torce of arms may not, with their Northern democratic allies obtain thut possession, SPRECH OF MR. BATON. @ Mr. Eaton, (dem.) of Conn., said against his taste and judgment he entered intoa poiiticul discussion on this flour. Lt seemed thas upon resolution of the Senator from to print extra copies of a message, this politica: debate had again been forced upon the Senate, He would not jollow the lead of the illustrious Senator from Vermont and travel all over Gou’s creation on this subject, but would try to confine himselt to the resolution. He when quoted from the Message of the President sent to the Senate and the ac- companying documents, and said he would try to keep within the rules of oraer, because he remembered the high position of the President and honored the oflice ihe did not the occupant. The Sepate bad made in- quiry of lim as to the sianghter at Hamburg, 8. ©. ; vat the President, im answer to that resojution, had gone outof the line which became the dignity of his high office. He becume @ volunteer in this matter arraigned the people of two States in this Union, about whom no inquiry had been made by the Senate.’ What right had the resident of the United States so vulun- tece information to the Senate, the members of which Were his equals m point of intelligence ? Mr. Dawes, (rep) of Masa,, said the President was at by tho cousuituuion ‘to submit to Congress in- tion in regard to the slate ot the Union, catou said that he knew the President was re- ident had enteres the political arena as an :nformer. Ji what he saidin regard to these twa States was trac, why was itthat hg had not seat information io Con: gress as tho constitution directed? He (Mr, Eaton) make the charge boldly that the information Was not tru There was no truth in this Message in regard to Louisiana and Mississippi. 1t was A POLITICAL SLANDER against the democratic party ot the United States He | n referred to the argument of Sir, Morton to the «t that Tilden dare not denounce the outrages in the South Vecause he must have the support of the men who committed them, and ssid that remark of the Senator was an insult to the man and an ingglt to the whole party. It ebonid never have been uttered, The demvcratic party, from Mr. Tilden down, condemned crime everywhere, aud it did not become the Senator from Indiana to make such acharze, He (Mr. Eaton) HURLED If BACK . in bis teeth as talse and not to be tolerated among gentlemen, and it Would nos be tolerated hero so long ak he (alr, Eaton) had aseat on the floor. It was a great pity Hon, Samuel J, Tiden did not consult the Senator irom Indiaua before writing bis leuter of acceptance. Mr, Eaton then sent to the Clerk’s desk, and had read a portion of Mr. Tildeu’s letter of acceptance in regard to reiorm, and resuming, suid he had no doubt as to Mr. Tilden’s election, and when he camo into power the United States would see what had been seen 10 New York—a reduction of taxauos, In that State taxes were $16,000,000 per a m before Mr Tiiden ook charge of tho government, and into power they were reduced to §§, The people of the United — States been paying $750,000,000 anaually taxatio could not stand it, There musi be a chai man who sivod upon this or any other tmpted to sucer down the honest language of an non- est man like Mr. Tilden and then went before the | of the very men heroin »mentioned, country should be sneered down himseit, Betore Mr. jon concluded hia remarks the Senate, at uve o'clock, went into executive session, and wheu the doors were opened adjourned, BLUFORD WILSON.

The report submitted by Mr. Boutwell to-day in be. halfof the majority of the special committee of the Senate appointed March 31 to investigate matiers in Mississippi, asserts that the testimony taken fully eup- ports the allegation that force, traud and initmidation were used generally aud successtuily in the political canvass of 1875. Betore proceeding to « detailed state- ment of facts ani their conelusions, rofer to sundry excursions which, they say, havo been offered in justification of the outrages com: | mitsed, and condemo them as utterly inadequate, They find that Governor Ames is not ainenable to any Just charge affecting his integrity or fitness as Chiot Magistrate, and while admitting that taxes are higher in Mississippi now than before tho war, say the rate of increase is far loss than in somo ern States, where no s*rious complaints aro made against’ the admintetration of public affairs, The majority . also say the testimony Frhows there was no foundation for reports that negroes were armed or were arming and massing in large bodies for the destruction of the whites. There were no such organizations and the negroes were not armed gen- erally. Tnose who had arms were furnished with infe- rior -weapons, and their leaders, both religious aud political, discountenaticed a resort to force, After quoting largely from the testimony the report of tho majority say ; The committee find that the young mon of the Stato, especmally those who reached manhood during the war, or who have arrived at that condition stuce the war, constitute the nucleus and main force of the dangerous element, as far as the testimony taken by the commit. teo throws apy light npon tho ‘subject: It tends, how- ever, to establish the fact that the democratic organiza- tions, both of the county and State, encouraged young men in thoir course, aceepted the political advantages of their conduct, and are, in a large degree, responsible for the criminal results, There was a general disposi- tion on the part of wuite employers to COMPEL THUR LANORERS TO VoTS THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. This disposition was made manifest by newspaper articles, by resolutions of conveutions aud by deciara- tions of land owners, planters and farmers to the workmen whom they employed, and by the lncorpora- tion in contracts of a provision that they should be void in case the negroes voted the repub- lican ticket. Democratic ‘clubs were organized in all parts of the State, and the able- bodied members were also organized gonerally into military companies aud furnished with the best arms that could be procured in the country, Tho members of these organizations, the majority ‘assert, are shown by the evidenco to have traversed various counties for Weeks betore she election menacing voters, prevent- ing, disturbing or breaking up republican meetings, causing riots at Vicksburg and Clinton, asd killing a large umber of unoflending persons throughout the country. About half the white voters in the republi- can disirtets were thus organized, and by intimidation they compelled thd republican nominations to be with- drawn in some counties, and forced republicans to vote the domocratic ticket or deprived them of any. opportu- DILy to vote otherwise. The majority algo find that the civil authorities have been unable to prevent these outrages or to punish tho offenders, and in this connection quote the published report of the November Grand Jury of the United States Court for the Northern District, Tho report proceeds as fojlows: OUTRAGKS PERPETRATED, The committee find that ontrazes of the nature set forth in this report were perpetrated in the counties of Alcorn, Amite, Chickasaw, Claiborne, Clay, Contah, De Soto, Grenada, Hinde, Holmes, Kemper, Lee, Lourdes, Madison, Marshall, Monroe, Noxubee, Rankin, Scott, Warren, Washington and Yazoo; and that the aemo- cratic vietory in the State was due tothe outrages 80 perpetrated,” If in the coungios named, there had a Iree election, republican candidates wou ve been chosen, and the character of the Legislature so changed tbat there would have been 66 republicans to 50 demo- crats in the House and 20 republicans to 11 democra's in the Senate, con: ily the present Legisiatnre of Mississippi is not a body and its acts are pot en- titled to recognition by the political department of the government ot the United States. although the Presi- dent may in bis discretion recognize it as a povernment de facto for the preservation of public aco. Tue resignation of Governor Amos was effected y a body of men calling themselves the Legislature of tho State of Miseissipp!, by measures tmanthorized oy Jaw, and he ig of right the Governor of that State. The evidence.shows turther that the State of Missis- sippl is at present under contro! of political organta: tions, composed largely of armed men, whose ootnmon Purpose is to deprive negroes of the free exercise of tho Tight of suffrage and to establish and MAINTAIN THE SUPREMACY of the white line democracy in violation alike of the constitntion of their own Stato and o: tho constitution of the United States The majority further say that the evil consequences of this policy touch and paralyze every branch of industry and the movements 0! busi- ness in every channel, and unless arrested every suc- cessive chapter in tho annals of Mississippi will be darker and bloodier than the preceding one. The re- port concindes as follows: — This tendency cannot be arrested by the unaided efforts of the patriotic, peaceful and lew-abiding citi- zeus, There is a small body of native white persons, who, with heroic courage, are maintaining the princi- ples of Justice and equality. Thero is also a small body of men trom the North, who, with equai courage, are epdeavoring to SAVE THE STATE PROM ANANCRY AND D¥GRADATION, It left to themselves the negroes would co-operate with these two chissess, but arrayed against them ail aro a muority of the white people Who possess propert who uniformly command leisure whether individant they possess property or not, who look with contempt upon the biack race, and with hatred upon white men are their political allies, who are habituated to the use of arms in war and in peaeo; who in former times were accustomed to the exclusive enjoyment of political power, and who now consider themselvos docraded by the elevation of the negro to the rank of | equaluy in political affairs, Thoy bave secured power by force, and if left to themseives they will by fraud and force retam it. Indeed, the memory ot biooty events of the campaign: of 1875, with the knowled that theit opponents can command an instant presen: of organized vodtes of armed men at every voting place, will deter the republican party from any general effort to regain the power wrested trom therm, These disor. ders exist also rm noighboring States, and the spirit and ideas which give rise to the disorders are even more gere al, The power of the national government will be in- voked and honor and duty will alike require its exer. cise. The nation cannot witness with indifference a dominion 91 lawlessness and anarchy In a Stato, with their incident evils and a knowledge of the inevitable consequences, It owes a duty to tho citizens of the Juited States residing in Mississippi, and that duty must perform.

MINORITY REPORT, ‘Tne minority of the commiiee, Messrs. Bayard and MePonaid, prosent their views at length, They say that while writing them they read with sarprise and regret the meseuge of the Prosident, of Jaly 31, traus- mitung to Congress ceriain correspondence reluting to the murders lately committed at Hamp , in whieh he says:—‘'Bat receutiy a commitice of the Senate of the United States visited the State of Mississippi to take testimony on the snbjeq of frauds and violence in erechons.

In all republican counties—and all were republican in which negroes were in a majority—every official was a member of the same ‘party. Thus the entire contro! of ths State was in the hands of Governor Ames and his party asso- ciates, In atl these republican ngholds in which the charges of turbulence and misgovernment alleged to have existed it is noted that the eutire local power was’ {n republican hands. The minority then Speak of the effect of tne republican system of mirgovernment upon real estate and property, and shows, at some lnnygth, that Governor Ames pros: Ututed his office and bargained with appointees, and speaks of the State militia beng orgemized preparatory to the campaign, the officials being among the most notorious and unscrupulous partivans, black And white, of the Stato administration, many of them being unable to ‘This created great alarm among the white population, and vierence, bloodshed and force, as the only arbiters of the election, were first Suggested in a time of profound peace in the Stale of Mississippi by Governor A id his political assvciates.
