''ti1II;ELY EDITt(.)N. -1WINNSBU.1&O, S. C. fl'I14D.,Y, AP~IILL3.1879 NVOL.3 BEN HILL'S GREAT SPEECII. .- --- - . I Is SILINC1GES BLAIN1 ON TIM]! I'LOOR 01' T' S 1.NAT1. Exposing Radical Shams---The Cry of Revolution--The Soith Rostoring . Peace to the Union. In the Senato a few days ago a debato unexpectedly sprang up over the removal of Gorhain, sccro tary of the Senate, to make way for a Democrat. Blaine especially charged the Democrats with revolu tion. Senator Hill responded in a speech of great eloquence and force. After citing a circular issued py Gorhamn as secretary of the Repub lican Committee charging the Demo crats with a purpose to oust Hayes by revolution, Senator Hill den ied the charge and showed, moreover, that,the electoral con mission spe, cially provided that any measures of discovering the facts might be resorted to. The Senator contin ued : They had refused to look into the facts in the Electoral Coinission they had pronounced the ever mcim, orable decision which declares i hat not only individuals but the Con gress of the . United States were bound to believe as true what every body knew was a perjury, were bound to accept as genuine what everybody know was a forgery, were bound to declare and carry out as constitutional and right what every body knew was an unmitigated fraud; and just as soon as that decision was procured by a refusal to look into the facts, and some gentiemuen desired that the facts should be looked into and investi gated a radical tribunal in a judi. cial manner and by a jndicial pro ceeding, the gentlemen on the other side raised the cry of "revolution." That is the point I make. I say that that circu'ar issued by the Secretary was false-utterly false. I say that the Democratic party had not announced, as that circular says, ay revolutionary purpose of the expulsion of the President. I say that no.mnn can produce a proceed ing of the Domocratic party in Con . Ventio'n, in Legislature or in the Congress of the United States to justify the charge that they intend ed revolution. The truth is, to tell the candid fact, I always believed that the gentlemen raised the cry of revolution largely to prevent the investigation, because they feared the consequences iT one should be inaugurated. Mr. President, I did.not rise to discuss this question or any other. TNiis is a very elaborate debate to have grown out of the simple prop osition to elect a few officers of the ' Sonate. As I am on my fect, I wish to say one word in reply to what the Senator from Nw York said. Tht Se'nator al'uded to the fact that when lie came here in July, . 1861, a large number of these seats were vacant. That is a fact we all know. We had heard of that before. He alluded to the fact that they are all filled new. I am gratified to say that we know~ that to be true. Mr. President, the saddest (lay inl Anmer' jean history, in my judgment, was tihe one to which the Senator from New York alluded, whemn the South, actuated by as high and patriotic a P.urpe he vractuated any peoplo1 smee th sun1ha been pursuing his course, left these halls and attempt ed to secede from the Union. I . grant that they did not desire war; -and I know they did what t,hey believed was their right. They thought to imake no war ; they thought to engender no strife ; they sought to 01nd it ; but they were inmsta ken and the w hole world,.knows the history thatd followed. It was a sad (lay when the Southern States with their gifted representative left these halls and left the goverment in tihe undisputed control of the lRepuplican party, and every hour and every day from that time to this, as a consequence of that unfor tunate act, the country has been rocking in the throes of revolution. Sir, I am not here to parcel out the blame on this subject upon this section, or that section, this party or that p)arty. It was a gran'd mis take, a great m'istake and honestly made, -unquestionably ; terrible conisequences have followed, conse quences which did not dlisapploinlt me. .But wO hlave 'passed through .that ordeal. -We .have had a reign of blood. The Rlepub)lican party, because of thrqt,, ery naot, has had ehenyears of domination in this country. WtMt are 'the fruit nr that doinination ? History will rocord thein history has recorded them. I wish to say to the gentle man that, as the first fact to which ho alluded, the return of the South here with her proper, her fit repro - sentatives, ends the revolution which their departure began, if that departure brought war upon the country, this return assures the country of peace and prosperity Once more. The Senato may regret, the gentlemen on the other side may regret, the loss of the eighteen years' lease of power. It is not a thing to be regretted very much by those gentlemen. Perhaps they would like to see another secession if it would give them eighteen years of undisputed possession of this great government. But, gentlemen, in all kindness and candor, lot mc tell you your day is ended and youi chayccs will not return. You did not complain of the presence of the South hero when that presence was by men who had no interest with us, These, with one lingering exception, have all gone, and the places whici knew them but yesterday will knov them no more forever. The carpe bag hegira expires with the depart ure of the Republican party fron power. Why are we to be constantl. reminded of ono act ? Why shoub. gentlemen on all occasions, in sensor and out of season, arraign the Souti for what they choose to call rebel lion ? Call it rebellion. Hi.tor3 will judge that question, and w< should prefer the judgment of histo ry to the judgment of the gentleier on the other side ; much prefer it What is the l)ulrpose, unless "out 0 the fullness of the heart the moutl spealoth ?" It is an unpleas:u thing to say ; E am sure it is no meant in unkindness ; it will go lik< a dart to many gentlemen in thi hearing ; yet I tell them that what the Senator from New York says i true, these seats are filled, and fille< by Southern representative men and these seats will remain filled b representative Southern imen. Tha is all. . Lot the past, then, go. W are Qpposed to revolutionary pur. poses ; we are opposed to revolu tionary proceedings ; we have noi made any thing by revolution. Th< Republican party made eighteei years of power by revolution an< they are always talking abou revolution. I hope, Mr. President, that tb time has come when these perpetua sectional allusions will be abandon, ed. They (do not tend to harmony We are acquainted with the pas history of this country as well as th< gentlemen ; we have been the chie sufferers in that past history. A: for their criticism upon our tutur< conduct, we can bear that criticism because however unkind and una mi able it may be, it shall be our higi pleasure to -demonstrate in th< future that there is not one word o: truth in it. When you prophes3 that we intend revolution, that w< intend anything but the peace and good and prosperity of this whol< country, it may be that you doesir< to find some evidence of the truth of your charges, but it is our pur pose to showv to the country that w( are not only here, but that we art worthy to be here, as were em fathers before us, who did so muel to make this country so great and glorious. Mr. Blain-f take the Senator', words at their meaning, 'and altogether, thieir more pointet moaning came from the way they make a verb)al criticism that yet irtendedi b.y a new law and a new~ investigation and at extra mode o: getting this question befoio thc Courts, not in pursuance of laws which existed at the time the Ele. toral Commission acted, and that you intended by that extraordinary course never drenmed of at the time to oust the President of the United SJtatcs, do not be sensitive al all if 1 call it revolutionary, and nothing else. Mr. Hill-Does the Senatol from Maine say that an investigatior ordered by either- House of Con gress, to ascertain facts, is itself a revolutionary proceeding ? Mr. Blaine--.. say this, that' an investigation ordered by a partisar vote iA not the way the law comntem plates the initiatio'n of a judicial proceeding.. .Mr. Hill-I put' the question again, but the Senator 'does not answer. Does' he say that 'the appointment of. a committee by either House of Congress, clothed with legil authority to make legal investigation, is a revolutionary pro. M r . B l a n e - n e m o m en t. Mr. Hi1...No'. Mr. President. I want to make a bargain with the Senator from Maine, by the permission of the Spnator. I have asked him a question twice, which ho has not answoiodd. Instoad of answering my question, which was a very plain one, the Senator refuses to answer it and asks no a question. Now, as my question is first in order if the Senator will make a manly, frank answor to my question I will answor his. Now, I ask the ques tion : Does the Senator hold that the appointment of a committee by either House of Congress to mako an investigation under their authori ty is a revolutionary movement ? If he will answer that question square ly I will answer his. Mr. Blaine-I certainly answered it once. I say that the resolution appointing the Potter Committee, as construed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, did aim at a revolutionary process Mr. Hill-Is - the appoint, ment of a committee by either House, to make an investigation, a revolutionary movement ? Mr. Blaine--Oh, well, the Senator must be childish, if he will pardon the phrase. Mr. Hill-And if so, did the Senator from Maine mean revolution when he moved the .ppointment of tho Teller Committee ? Mr. llaine-No. Ho meant to find out those who were trying revo lution in the South against peace and law and order. Mr. Hill-And we mean to find out the facts in regard to thoso who stole the Presidency from us. FORMULA FOR JUG YEAST.-- One F large double handful of hops, such as are gathered fresh from the vines; t one dozen good-sized potatoes ; one teacupful of sugar ; one teacupfull of 3 salt ; a heaping tablespoonful of 3 flour. The potatoes can be used, pared or not, boiled till soft, mash i ed fine, strain, add salt and sugar, 1 st"irring thoroughly ; the hops and ginger steeped in a quart of water and strained into the potatoes. t Lastly the flour wet smoothly with 3 water to be free of, lumps..
