private business. It is understood

it has been impossible for him to make
both ends meet, and to secure enough
to enable him to eke out the remainder

id the Senator from Indiana, (Mor?

of 17915, his compliance with the call
involved the determination of' the law

from the Oonstitutien. ' I
legislation, no Aot bf CoogT<
fine the mode by which the Senate
should exorcise jfsv powers.') The pre?
sident derived his authority from the
Act of 1795, bpt the' Senate had
the power to inquire' , into the
election of any of its members
before the Act of 1795 was passed.
If the effect of that Act wss to confer
upon the President power to determine
conclusively upon tho legality of the
Legislature electing a Senator, or the
Executive of the State sigmug bis
credentials, so as to oonlrol the Senate
when making inquiry ae to the election
of a member, then the Act was void.
He (Ferry) did not, however, give to
the Aot of 1795 any euoh construction
as that placed npon it by the Senator
from Indiana (Morton.) Mr. Ferry
then argued that tho Senate, in judg?
ing of the election of its members,
was not bound by any decision of tho
President, which might be made inci?
dentally by him solely for the.pur pose
of preserving the peace. - All the Pre?
sident was doing in Louisiana was to
keep the parties from flying at one

that testimony would show that it was
against the.legality of the Kellogg
Government?even worse than the re
port of the committee. That report wss
against the personal and political w isbet
of the very gentlemen who signed
it. The Senate knew from the great
volume of testimony before it, that the
ft
1 which elected Mr. Pinchbeck, wee not
the K gal Legislature of the State; the
Senate also knew Wm. H. Kellogg,
whose name waa Bigoed to the certifi?
cate of election, Waa not the legal Go?
vernor of the State. The Senate, in
admitting Pinchbeck, would admit the
personification of falsehood and for?
gery. Suoh claims aa these, pnt forth
I by the Senator from Indiana, only in?
dicated the desperate character of the
case. He (Ferry) was not surprised
that at the last moment the Senate
I should have a hew Versieh of tho Loui
I siaua trouble, when all the goo pagee
I of testimony before the Senate showed
I that Kellogg's authority was all a
I sham?that the Legislature whioh
I elected Pinchbaok waa not the legal
I Legislature of the State. The friendi
I of the applicant needed to ohauge their
I base; the proposition of the Senator
I from Indiana, (Morton,) was that the
I Senate was bound to find a false?
hood cr the truth. Mr. Morion
I said the Senute did uot know
that Kellogg was not Governor aud
I that the Legislature whioh eleoted
I Pinohback was not the Legislature of
I Louisiana, as bad beeu stated by the
I Senator from Connecticut That Se
I nstor did not kuow it himself, and a
cartful nnalyzation of the testimony
I he (Morton) thought would contradict
I the statements of the Senafor from
I Couueotiout. He then quoted from
I the decision in the case of Luther
I against Boyden, and argued that the
I Supreme Court of the United State*
I must reooguize . the Government re
I cognized by the President,^aud that
I the power to reverse the recognition
Iof the President was only to be found
I in the joint action of the two houses
I of Congress. West, of Louisiana,
I said that the Senator from Connecti
I cut (Ferry) had cluimed that the Re?
publican Government of Louisiana
(had no basis but falsehood and
I forgery. This charge had been
I made here for months, and ho (West)
I thought it time that it should be met.
I The fraud and forgery in Louisiana
I originated with the opposition party
I and was carried -out by them and not
I by the Republican party. He argued
I that the Republican? were iu the ma?
jority in Louisiana in 1872, and were
in the majority to day; that Kellogg
was legally elected Governor, and that
I the claim of Piuohback, now before
I the Senate, was just; that he was
I legally eleoted Senator, and outride of
I all party consideration, should be ad
I mitted to his seat; theu the question
in regard t j Louisiaua would be set
I tied, and peace in that State would
prevail again. The Democrats had
claimed that the colored registration
in Louisiaua was greater than the oo
I lored voting population, and that the
(white registration was 10,000 below
I the white voting population, aocord
I ing to the census of 1870. This was
easily accounted for. Ia some States
I near* Louisiaua, where Democrats bad
obtained control, the colored men had
I left and emigrated to Louisiana since
the last census was taken. When Demo
I oratio Senators argued that the white
I registration was below the number o(
1 white males over 21 years of age, they
Iseemed to have forgotten that there
[were 15.00U uouaturalized foreigners
in the State not entitled to vote. He
I did not mean to say-that all the frauds
i iu Louisiana originated with the Demo?
cratic party there ftbey weire originated
and perpetrated by a few adventurers,
I through whom the Democratic masses
tin the State had bMfi led to believe
they were Outraged. Went then quoted
at some length from .testimony before
the Senate committee, to show that |
Kellogg was legally eleoted, and also '
from the report mado to lue House of
Representatives by Messrs. G. F. Hoar,
Wheeler and Fry e, in which they ex?
pressed opinions that Kellogg received
a majority of votes in 1872. Referring
to this report, he said these gentlemen
had iuvestiguted the matter. Dawes,
of Massachusetts, said he had a pri?
vate conversation with those gentle
mon, and ho believed it wus their opi
I uiou that Kellogg had received a
I majority of the votes, but they had
jnot investigated the subject. West,
lesuming his argument, said his State
I had been outraged in keeping out one
I Of her Senators. Christ iaucy, Oi
Michigan, iuquired if it was expected
that all. the damage whioh had been
inflicted upon Louisiana would be re?
paired by the admission of Pinchback?
West replied, that would hardly be
possible, but it was a lamentable fact
that a bill for the relief of persons in
the overflowed districts of tho Missis?
sippi failed on account of Louisiana
not having her two Senators. If the
other Senator from that State had been
in his seat, the bill would have been
passed. Refuse to admit Pinohback
now, the verdiot would go out to the
country once more that the Kellogg
Government was a frand; orime and
violence would have foil sway in the
State again; White Leagues would
muster and there wonld be no peace.

M The - BoxkVMk Bim,'?Lee Ii*'?? bill,
which provides (or the settlement of
the floating debt of the State, is as
follows: The Governor is tO appoint a
oommis8ioo of tbreo suitable persons,
before whom all the floating debt is to
be brought and proveu. If the claim
is valid, they can allow fifty cents in
the dollar, to be paid in four anunal
installments, and for which one-half
of one mill is levied annually. So far,
so good. But here comes the rascality.
If the commission decides. that the
olaim is fraudulent, they mutt return
the bills just as they were received,
without any endorsement; therefore,
the oommisbion will be of no nse, for |
it settles nothing. But suppose the
claims against the State are valid, is
anyone going to take fifty cents on
the dollar, and wait four years for it,
without interest? They certainly will
not. So this is simply to let in those
fraudulent claims whloh will not be
paid otherwise. If they had intended
honesty, they would have empowered
the commission to canoel the fraudu?
lent claims, aooording to an amend?
ment offered; then the only claims
that could have been paid would have
been the valid ones,

The confusion attendant upon the
cloae of a Congressional session, and
the faoility with whioh mischievous
little "riders" slip through, tacked on
the appropriation and other bills, is
illustrated by the reply of a prominent
Democratic member of the House just
after the adjournment, to the question
whether certain clauses were retained
in the sundry oivil bill as it finally
passed. His reply was: "I don't j
know, and I don't believe any one else
I knows. The faot is, business was Uane

it will bo fully a week before we know
