VOL. XIX. PICKENS, So C., THIURSD)AY1 UY1,180 O ~ II[URRA II FOR I EMPIllL L HE STANDS UP IN CONGRESS AND DOES STRAIGHT r LK'NG. L.odge Makes ia %:brcti Iffort III BehaIlf of liPa lIafst Si a eaie-lemiIaII',. Splemniid Airga i. -other speeches. The debate inl the Lodge election bill commenced in the House on Tiusr (lly. Lodge m'adc the opening speech, urging the meamure as necessary, just, wise and constitutional. Hemphill, of South Carolina, fol lowed, beginning with an argument to demonstrate the unconstitutional nature of the bill, that Congress should not interfere with the returns. He read of the legislative doclara tions in the past by the States of New York, Ohio and New Jersey against congressional usurpation of th: right to conduct elections. Ie declared that this was not Ia national bill. It was sectional. Under the provisions of the first section some portions of the United States would be under the supervision of from two to five super visors accordinlg to tihe respective size of the congressional and judicial districts. ie could conceive of no honlest purpose for such provision. It could have no effect but to place the people of some1 districts between the upper and nether mill stones. As to the terms under which the law wa; to go intoeffect (petition of a limited iumber of persons.) why wias it so limited if it was a good tling The law should be ni versaily applied. -XVh- -Vas it that this very comllhiated s Itlsattisfac tory provision was u *iless there was anll intention to y R yoke oil some portions of ths eople of this coun try and allow others to do as they saw lit? lie called for an explanati6n of that provision. Now suppose the United States Courts were corrupted aMd from tile amount of corruption reported by the gentleman from Mas sachusetts it might safely be inferred that one-half of the people were unl worthy of trust, that they were to be watched as crilmillals or. ticket of leave men. Suppose that the super visor were to turn to a Demiocrat. He had ia life tenure and could not be I'e1oe1d. Tlat hadn't occuirrled to tle geitlemianl from ' Massauilsetts. This Was a mIeasure to rob theim of their dearest rights. le had inarich ed before the glittering bayonets of United States soldiers to cast his ballot. Troops of soldiers had been sent to his town, and every soldier had cat a ballot for Greeley. T4e result wias that the party had a big ger majority than it had ever had in any Presidential election. +Under this system, w'hich it was proposed to revive, tile people of the South had been robbed by picked villains of the North, backed up by the bayonets of the United States army. The South didn't. wait to be caught ill that position agailn. "-We," Hemphill continued, I-know. that we must cither rule that country or leave it. Now for myself, before tile people of the United States and before God, in all reverence, I swear we will not leave it. (Applause.) It is the home of ouir fathers. There their bones lie buried. They bought it withl their blood w~hien Conc(or'd and1( Lexington were the battle fields of thlis counltry. They hlave handed it down to us unmpaired anid, geni ilemnen, arc we not our fathers' sons! Shall tile blood first turn'h back in our ,Veinls? Shall we transmit totihe com11 ing genlerationis a great and1( noble State which has beenl overrluledl and dlown' trodden by those who God niever initenlded should rule over us? I don't hlesitate to say~ tile coloredl maniu hams as many rights as I haive, hut 110 can't hlave is rights anid mhinet too, and1( this law is inted (1ed to put iml again inl control of the Southern States-intended to waken their pre judices which are fast dyinig out-inl tended to b)rinig about agin that conistanit irri tation amnd elns between the two colors ill tile South w'hich will reltard its growth andl which will be tile deOstruLction of tile joys of hui HIemilil theni read from a recent addiress by Qx-Governor Chambelin of South Carolina, Republican, ill Jlostoni to show what a formler Giov (ernorl anid Republicani thloughlt of the negr'o situation iln tihe South.

Hemnphill wvas loudly applauded by the Democrats as ho sat dlown anId all of thlem pressed forward to congr'atu late him. Roweli, of Illinois, said( after the + pros ntation of the ease by Lodge the4 Republican side mnight' well af foxylto rest the debateand after the elo quj 'nt closmng of tile speech of Hemp hill bothl sidles of tile House ought to cry aloud for tile passage of the bill. But he proceeded to speak at length, as;ierting that tile noenessnt for the bill arosechielly from the con dition of affairs in the South, and upon being challenged for specifica tion by Southern members Ie gave instances in Alabama, Georgia, Mis sissippi and Arkansas. His asser tions were disputed by gentleien from these States so constantly and stubbornly that at tinies two or more members would he speaking at once. itowell, however, held the floor mid abated nothinig of the sweepilng na tiure of his charges. Lehilbatch, of New Jersey,. 1teputb lican, said he could not favor the legislat-ionl. He admitted the conldi tion of elections in man1tily paPts of the country would seem to justify the passage of such a measure. He had no doubt frauds were perpetrated to a certain extent both North and Soath. It would, however, in his opinion be worse not to let the people of the several States regulate their own elections. [Loud Democratic aipplatuse,.] The 1i1oral sentiment of the counti-y mid edueation would bring about the saie results, and relief then would be permaneit. The bill was not general anel uniform. He questionled the right to make a law applicable inl somie States and Iiot in others. It should be niiforily ap plicable and not dependent upon the petition of anIv number of citizens. United States s;iupervisors were to be appointed and supervisors, experience had slowii, vere liable, like others. to seek to iitlence clections thleir owo way. He thought the law would bring about a conflict of authoritv between election officers chosen by the people and those appoiited by the United States Judge and this mighit bring about a deplorable state of ifflairs. heIle law could not be en forced when moral sentiiiieit was so low as to favor corrupt 'lections and when that sentiment was elevated the law would be unnecessar y. Tucker, of Virginia, opposed the bill specifically and generally. He claimed that it gave supervisors tle right to determine the ualifications of electors, a right reserved by the Constitution to the States.
