name introduced a bill to suspend the operation ope-ration of the sinking fund until further order of Congress Mr Y orhees offered a preamble and est es-t J olution reciting the newspaper report that Chambers United Status district attorney at Indianapolis had interfered in his offlc al capacity to prevent the arrest of W W Dudley on the charge of feloniously violat ing the election laws of Indiana at the last residential election and directing tho at irneygeneral to report what instructions the department of justice had issued to Chambers on the subject and to furnish copies of correspondence He also asked taat the rjsolution go over until tomorrow when he would submit remarks upon i EdmundsThats right I am in favor I of the subject of it I The resolution went over Morgan proceeded to address the Senate on the subject of the bill heretofore intro duced by Butler to provide for the emigration emigra-tion of persons of color from the southern states He had reached the conclusion that thieve was a national incongruity and an irrepressible repressible conflict between the races The return of tho negio race to Africa was the I only solution of the problem It was un I eniable that the aversion between two races had greatly increased since slavery was abolished and it would increase so long as a large portion of the population was of the African rtce Experience would not permit the statement that such feeling reelng of aversion existed only in the south I was not so intense in the south as it was in the north I was not so strong between he negro and his former master it was between the negro and those whenever I owned slaves A separation of the races I fhs the only thing that would extinguish race aversions In Africa the negro could I I grow up to the full measure of his destiny Slavery Morgan said would be abol ahetl in central Africa if the work was left to the whites It would be a slow pro cess but American negro would accom push it i he dwelt among those people accol In summing up his speech Morgan pointed to the fact that the negroes had no chance to rise ir this country political influence would never lift the negro race in this country above its present level On the contrary the friction and collision caused by the negroes use of the ballot would create more and more envy against the negro race He Morgan looked ferward to the establishment of a free republican government in the Congo region by the in iuence of America or American negroes who would thus be the redeemers and regenerators generator of their fatherland A message from the President in relation to the claim of the widow of Tohn Paul a German subject arising out of his death at Wilmington N C and recommending the I appropriation of 5000 was presented to

rayer of the chaplin for divine protection I of the sick Representatives Representatves was listened Ito I-to with unwonted interest On motion of Hermann of Oregon a I resolution was adopted calling on the sec rotary pf war for information relative to the improvement of the mouth of the Co lumbus river The speaker stated to the House that in accordance with the authority vested in L him yesterday he had administered the i oath of office to Samuel J Randall of Pennsylvania McComas of Maryland offered a resolu ion that the House resolve itself into a I committee of the whole for the consideration tion of the District of Columbia appropria I tion bill the committee to be governed by I the rules of the last Congress Breckmridge raised the question of consideration sideration against the resolution The speaker ruled that the question of consideration could not be raised against a resolution because the resolution was in the nature of a motion regulating thd business busi-ness of the house regulating Breckinridge said the resolution went further than that provided for the adop tion of a code of rules Appealed from decision de-cision S Carlisle of Kentucky vigorously at tacked the speakers ruling He argued that no question or consideration could betaken be-taken against a motion to go into committee com-mittee of the whole but the pending reso lution went beyond that and provided for a code of rules He thought the time had come when the House if it was to be governed gov-erned by rules shcud have those rules Applause on the Democratic side Henderson of Iowa said that as he understood un-derstood the matter the gentlemen on the other side were opposed to doing anything without rules and wanted rules adopted under which nothing could be done The majority was charged with trying to ravish the other side without rules How by proposing I pro-posing to consider and pass a bill on the calendar under rules made by a Democrat c House was that ravishment I He wanted the Republican members to come up shoulder shoul-der to shoulder aud show that they were ready to do the business of the country Let the committee on rules take its time and bring in a code which would advance and not obstruct business McAdoo of New Jersey regarded the de bate as a preliminary skirmish on the part of the majority in order to see whether the minority could be starved out and made to take any rules which might be presented I was the duty of the minority to stand here until the end of Congress like a single man to maintain its rights and dignity
