Tne Commute from the Virginia Leg I fi lature Formally Welcomed In Indepen dence Ilael Last night the committee appointed r the State Legislature of Virginia; to confer with oar local committee on tbe centennial celebration, arrived Id this city. This body is thus composed: Henator. NrprmmitH ess. Jartge A. B. Cochran. Major B. L. Wooaon, Wm. Lowenstlne, J. N. Btubb. Colonel J. K. Roller, Colonel J. M. French, Hon. J. A. Smith. There also accompanied tbem William J. Big ger, Secretary of the Virginia House of Repre sentatives; Hon. James P. Cowarden, Secretary of the committee; Messrs. Charles Campbell, Henry Bell, M. U. Clark, Captain J. A. McCall, attaches of the House, Hon. George Rye, State Treasurer; and C. A. Shatter, Superintendent of Public Printing. Accompanying them, also were Colonel 8. B. French and Mr. P. Handy, of the Richmond Dispatch; William 8. Glllman, Of the Whig; Ernest Wlltz, of the Enquirer; and B M. Uillis, of the Stale Journal. At 10 o'clock this morning this body, with the members of our local committees, headed by the general chairman, John L. Shoemaker, Esq., assembled in Independence Hall to be welcomed by the Chief Magistrate of the city. When order was obtained, Mr. Shoemaker said: Mr. Mayor: As chairman of the Centennial Com mittee of Philadelphia, I have to say that the Legis lature or the State of Virginia ha passed highly ap propriate resolutions endorsing Philadelphia as the r roper place for the Centennial Celebration in 1876. a pursuance of this resolution they have appointed a committee of honorable gentlemen to con'er upon the subject of the exposition of '76. Ami here, lu this hall, It Is a special privilege an 4 honor to have the pieaiure to Introduce to you, sir, chUf magis trate of this city, the Hon. J. K. Holler, chairman of the Virginia committee. Mayor Fox said: Gentlemen As a general rule we always accord to visitors from abroad our polite attention and courtesy. Hut coming, as vou particularly do, as ' the representative men of that grand old Common wealth within whose legislative Halls, lu the early davs of the Republic, rang out thoae eloquent tones which yet thrill and throb the patriotic heart, aud within whose borders some of the most decisive aud desperate of the struggles of the brave old colonies took place; I say, thus coming, and upon one of the very highest of patriotic missions, you are not merely formally, but cordially, sincerely, and heartily wel come to our city aud our people. And we trust that what may be said and done In connection with the centennial anniversary shall be In the highest degree promo tive of that great purpose of the nation. We de sire also to say that whatever can bu done to make your stay among us pleasant to you, and to enable you when you do leave us to carry away to your State Legislature and your homes the liveliest Impressions of tbe pleasure It has atrorded us to be privileged to receive and entertain you, will be to us the highest gratification. To this welcome Colonel J. E. Roller thus responded: Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of- the City of Philadel phia: The tusk Imposed on me as tbe chalrmuu of tbe Centennial Committee on the part of the Vir ginia Legislature is an exceedingly diillcult one. How, sir, can I express, in such language as I can command, an adequate acknowledgment for this welcome, as chairman of this legislative committee? Bow can I express our sincere and earnest acknow ledgment, In terms fitting, appropriate, and re sponsive, to the beany welcome you have just given us, when I feel, especially, sir, In this hall, a diindence In attempting to use words appro priate to any such feeling? The first occasion of my visit to this hall I was accompanied with a Vir ginian, known and honored in all parts of t"e State, the hand of whose grandsire had tainted these por traits which hang about us. As I staud In sight of that picture which faces me, the picture of the man Who was tbe great central figure of the Revolution, and as I stand here within sight of Qermantowu and Delaware, and within hearing of Monmouth and Trenton, I feel, sir, that it would he exc jedlngly In appropriate for me to attempt to give expression to the emotions which must be awakened within us. I belleve.Bir.that this met ting carries with It a deeper significance even than we can justly Infer from this assemblage now In this hall. We come here forgetful of what has happened within the last few years ; willing only to remember this Union In which we have a common Interest, aud willlDg only to revive the remembrances of our com mon glories and our common perils. And, sir, we propose to do this by encouraging those schemes Which, we trust, will bind this State and ours to- S ether In a closer union than has ever yet existed etween us. We propose to give encouragement to the Introduction of your railroads Into our State. (Applause.) We propose to give encouragement to the Introduction of your capital into our midst. We propose, sir, to lay down In the great deep of the popular heart, out of reach of party agitation, cables telegraphic cables that will quiver with messages of love between the two sections a love never to be sundered ! (Applause.) Again, sir, I thank you In behalf of each member of this committee. We all thank you most heartily. Then tbe committee and the Mayor fell to hand-shaking. This over, in carriages the'party proceeded to the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and then to Fairmount Park. To-morrow will be given over entirely to visiting public institutions. POISONED. Eight Persons Poisoned on Sunday Night -"Washington Cuke" the Cause What Does It Contain t On Sunday evening last a Mr. Root, his wife, and some friends took tea at tbe house of Mr. Jacob Ueddemen, at Seventeenth street and Lehigh avenue. Later in the evening Mrs. Root and a Mr. Jesse Ferres were attacked with vio lent symptoms resembling those of corrosive poisoning. Mr. Root called upon Dr. Posey, and that gentleman arrived, prescribed for the patients, and departed. The doctor at an early hour yesterday morning ras again called upon and informed that others bad been attacked, and it was a matter of life and death. Upon reaching the residence of Mr. Ueddemen, the physician found Mrs. Root, Mr. Ferres, Charles Queen, Mr. C. II. Fletcher, Mr. Charles Wen derotb, and Mrs. S. Smiley and her child, stretched on the floor and writhing in agony. Antidotes were administered, and after awhile all but Mrs. Root and Mr. Ferres were re lieved. The condition of the latter last evening was exceedingly critical. It was found that all the parties sick had eaten of a "Washington cake" which bad been purchased at a store on Poplar street, and that thoae who did not eat of the cake were not affected. A piece of the cake has been preserved for analysis. A workman named Richard Albertson yesterday morning ate a piece of the article at breakfast, and In a few minutes he was attacked with symptoms similar to tbe others. It is possible that the cake was made out of damaged flour and, the poisonous ingredient is due to the presence of ergot. Sunday-school Anniversabt The nine teenth anniversary of the Sunday-schools con nected tvitb the Second Reformed Church, Seventh street, above Brown, will be held to morrow (Wednesday) evening, in the church building. The exercises will be of a very inte resting character, and will consist of hymns, offerings, the reading of reports, addresses, etc. The decorations of tbe building will be of the most beautiful character, and will include flowers, green, singing birds, aud the like. Dr. Thompson, a very popular children's speaker, will make one at the addresses. The occasion is one of great interest to both teachers and scholars.

Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of this Railroad Company Its Business During 1870 The Extension to W11-. llamsport Interesting Reports. At Boon to-day the stockholders of the Cats witsa Railroad Company assembled in their an nual meeting, William P. Chandler, Esq., pre siding;, and Edward Johnson acting as Secre tly' The report of the Superintendent, George Webb, Esq., was read. From it we make this summary: Receipts during 1870 1)655,812 85 Expenses " " 431,179 54 Increase of earnings over those of 1869 equal to 6 and 747-thoueandths per cent. Increase of ex penses over those of 1869 equal to 1 and 133-thou-sandths per cent. Early in the year there was a general decrease In value of articles produced aad shipped In car loads on our line. To meet that de crease, and also to enable our neighbors to keep lu the market In competition with Western dealers whose trade was fostered by other routes, we re duced through car load rates SO per cent. Tha result was quite satisfactory. Our local trade was stimulated, and because or its regularity we were able to move it with economy. A saving has been made in motive power and car accounts. 1 his is partly due to the policy pursued in past y ears of using none but best material for con struction aad repairs, and partly due to saving In fuel by rigid care rendered positlble after comple tion of coal schutes at Catawissa early In the year. During the year past we have been free from any serious accidents from broken rails, but heavy renewals have been made necessary by ac tual wearing out of rails under less than to years' service with our light gross tonnage. I would re commend the use of steel rails for all renewals as Boon as practicable. It is gratifying to be ante to renew former statements that up to this date no piwmeDgcr has been killed on this road. The report of the President, Mr. p. Hutchinson, was readmit shows the capital and bonded debt to be f3,6sn,6(i0, aud then says: The increase of tonnage on our local business was 13)tf per cent, over the previous year. Notwithstanding the reduction in rales (ride Superintendent's report) and the low rates ruling upon ah roads during the past year, the receipts were increased 6 747-1000 per cent. Allu sion was made in the last annual report to surveys having been made for a branch Into the Black Creek Coal Kegton. Nothing further has been done In that direction, owing to the want of co-operation on the pan of the laud-owuers, and their uuwi'llng ness to guarantee a remunerative tonnage, and me uncertain tenure by which the lands were held. The object anticipate, of securing anthracite tonnage from the Lehigh region for the Western market, hs, however, been obtained by the construction of the Wesckow branch -Railroad, from several Im portant collieries In the Hazletown region, (to connect wt'h our Summit Urancti), now com pleted and only watting the resumption of mining operations to throw a Urge amount of coal over our branch. Since the charter of your company was obtained, Its extension to Wlillamsport has always been kept stcadllv in view: the Inability to do so is owing to the financial condition of the com pany. An arrangement has been made with con necting roads, by which, under a lease, that place was reached. Until, by a subsequent lease, the Philadelphia and Erie fell Into the hands of a rivil lnterost, everything moved satisfactorily. The approaching termination of that arrangement inauccd your management to proceed Immediately to the construction of a road. Aided by the subscriptions along the route and the frlendi of the enterprise, your management have succeeded In negotiating a 7 per cent, mortgage loan c ear of tax for the building of the road, including s.eel rails for the entire distance. It is expected to have the same completed by September of thin year. To avoid as much possible anv new competition with the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, as se curing the best and cheapest line, the route chosen was across the river at Milton, through Union county, crossing several productive valleys, and recrossing the river near Muncy, and thence passing Lojalsock creek to Wlillamsport, thus ac commodating a section of country now without rail road facilities. The completion of the Neuriueho nlng Vullev ItailroBd has given us a shorter line than Is practicable by any other route to New York city and Central New Jersey. This has added consider ably to our traffic. Tbe report speaks, In conclusion, of the death of S. V. Merrick, Ksq., one of the directors. The va cancy caused by bis death has been Oiled by the ap pointment of Emor Weaver, Esq. The reports were accepted and the meeting ad journed.

CESTBAL fKESBYTERY. The Meeting of the Central Presbytery f Philadelphia This Morning The Subject of Temperance Considered Oeneral Itnaineas. A stated meeting of the Philadelphia Central Presbytery was held at 10 o'clock this morning in the West Arch Street Church. Eighteenth and Arch streets, the Moderator, Rev. Mr. Work, In the cbalr. The proceedings were opened with religions eierclres. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The second resolution of the report of the com mittee of synod on the subject of the sale of Intoxi cating liquors was taken up and considered. The resolution requires all sellers of liquors who are members of the church either to give up the trauu or, In the event of a refusal so to d, to submit to a removal from the con.muulon aud mernbersulp or the church. It was objected that the adoption of this resolu tion would Injure a good cause. While the general prlrriplcs were approved of, the method or proceed ing was not. lr. Mu "grave said thht he denied that presby tery, synjd, or even Hie Ueiieral Assembly, had any power to make or alter the terms or communion lu the manner that the adaption of this resuutlou would do. He also said that the resolution was In the spirit or the radical extrtme men, whu, under the name of Temperance," which does not express the meaning it all, urge the most unreasonable doctrines of total abstinence. lie did mt approve of drinking intoxicating liquors, but thought. this radical silrlthax injured the cause In tbe minds of all thinking men. In the olden time the Doctor had joined what was called a temperance society, and approved of It. 'ihen the movement was spreading like wildfire, aud ttie got.d cause was furtnercd ; but now the be.st men bold aloof because the extreme men guide the tiling. He a so said that If the resolution wat adopted it; would be a dead letter. The churches cou d not be got to enforce It. A gentle reproof would do moe good, at allvsuts, than a positivu Injunction, 'i he spanner, however, thought that, habitual druukenness not onlv can, but su iuld be disciplined by the Church. Iheywereuot included In a question of temperance, as opposed to total abstinence. The tetatl rum shops which sold liquor only for use as a beverage weie a great evil, but the proposed method of putting them down would not accomplish the end. Ti e resolution was Anally recommitted to the con mltte, wno were to report again at the aftrr noon session, lu order thai the special order for the day, ihe n,,niliiHtlouof commissioners to theUeneral Assembly, luiM be taken up. JRevf. Messrs. Heed, iiusgrave, Wilms, Eva, Mutchmore,smith,Robblns,anil Mears aud Johnso i, Klders, Pollock, Macblroy, warrtner, Newman, and were nominated as commhmloners. The election was to take place at 3 o'clock In the afternoon. The testimonial records were then presented by the representatives ol the several churches. Rev. Ueorge P. Cain asked permission to resign the charge of the Alexander Presbyterian Church. This request gave rise to considerable discussion, S')in holdlug that the pastor ought not to resign after bringing the church out of the worst of Its trouble, others that tbe dissatisfaction of some of congrtgatlon was sach that it would be unplea aut for him to remalu. The church has raised some 12,000 towards its debt since the present pastjr took charge. Wheti the Alliance raises the remain der, about f2d,000, which It has assumed, trie church will be entirely free of debt. It. was thought that If Mr. Cain had been so successful thus far, It was a shame to give up now. Rev. McCain said that he felt very much dls heartenened. There had only been tweuty-three additions to the church during the year, all except three of which were by letter from other churcnes. It was said that those who were dissatisfied were a very small minority of the congregation, and th it If thlB minority were successful lu driving away the pastor, a large majority would be dissatisfied. It was moved that Itne request of Mr. Cain, to b3 allowed to resign, be reuse 1, and that a committee be appointed to viMt the pastor and people, aud try to secure harmonious relations between them. The consideration of the motion was not con cluded at the morning session. A special order of the day was then taken np, which was the free conversation on the state of re ligion In the Church and the leception i f the reports lrom the various cnurcnes. 1 nis occupied trie re mainder of the morning session, after whlca the presbytery took a recess until afternoon.

His legs were drawn up close to the body, showing that tbe commission of the deed was accomplished with tbe most determined purpose. The rope was not drawn tightly around his neck; it was merely in the form of a loop, and from the peculiar position of tbe body It Is supposed that be nrst got into tbe wazon. slipped tbe loop over his head, and then jumped out of the wagon and broke his neck. The Coroner has been notified to bold an inquest. Tbe deceased leaves a wife and four children. He has been an intemperate man for some time past. A Woman With a Will op IIer Own.

The clerk read this communication, upon which the investigation is baeed: TtbBelect and Common Oonnolli of the City of Phl ldelb.

WIl',tIM HUNiXCR-iO, Residence, No. 8-M3 Bridge street. Noma Iron Oompany, T. T. WOO l lit J eF, President, . .... Office, Mo, 1315 Buttonwood street. March (2, M7l. Mr. Henderson was called, and stated that for a leng time he endeavored to get city work, but wa Mw ays unsuccessful. This coramunlcat'on was ihe third one he had Rent to Councils. The first letter, by aonie extraordinary means, never got to the notice of Councils until teu daya after it wag sent, and ten days alter the engines which he had asked (Jimnclls to see had ceased operations. He thought that he could build a pumping engine as well as In Kew York, and that he cheuld at least have an op portunity to bid for cltv work. Thla had not been allowed him. He believed if possible, the money collect d In the city from taxes, eto , should go to I'hiladelphia mechanics. There was an act passed In 1800 to prevent Jut what he now clairaed, namely, giving a contract without having asked bids. The chairman read the section Mr. Henderson mention-d, which stated that no work called for In ihe annual estimates should be given out except to the lowest bidder. But in such an extraordinary case as this, where an improvement Is not covered by these estimates, the department may give the contract to tne best, though he may n9t be the lowt-Bt bidder. Mr. Henderson I claim that this contract was plvt n out without funds having keen appropriated to meet it. Mr. BarrTgley- A committee authorized this con tract to he made with Mr. Worthlngton for this en gine, on the 6th of Hepteruber, 18T0, and that four teen days after that award you sent in your com munication, praying to be awarded the contract for this work, loui argument that you were not heard Is incorrect. Mr Henderson I would like to have the public know that It la not necessary to publish proposals or to give out work to the lowest bidder In the Water Department, but that the person In power at that lime may have the privilege to give the contract to apy one he may designate. A Committeeman The contract is awarded but not yet approved. Mr. Henderson Then the contract having not been concluded, I ask to put in my bid for an en gine. Mr. GraefT (to the Chairman) Can I ask Mr. Heuderson a question? Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Henderson both acquiesced. Mr. Uraeff Mr. Henderson, have you the right to manufacture such an engine as you want to supply the city with? Mr. Henderson Yes, sir. Mr. Graeff By what right? Mr. Henderson By patent. Mr. Graeff No, sir. Have yon not been notified by Mr W ort hi kg ton that you infrlDge on his patent? Mr. Ilendt-rson I have not. Mr. Qractr Mr. Worthington can be obtained; can be produced to prove that. Mr. Bardsley Attached to thla communication Is the name of the President of the Norris Iron Works. Where are these works located ? Mr. Henderson (laughing) Why, In Norrlstown. Mr. Bardsley Now, one of the main points In your communication is that Philadelohla Is ignor ing her own mechanics. The Norris Iron Works being a p-trty to this petition, do you think that they Bhonid have the contract anymore than Mr. Wor thlnr.tou, being also outside of the city? Ar. Henderson Well, they are In Pennsylvania. That Riay be In tin lr favor. Mr. Bardsley Yes; and the Iron and coal Mr. Worthington 111 use In the construction of bis en gine will probably come from tbls State. Won't tho? Mr. nenderson Well, yes. Mr. Bardsley We have a charge made by Mr. Henderson and the Norris Iron Works that a con tract was not properly awarded. This Is what we have to investigate. Now, Mr. Henderson, what do you allege ? Mr. Henderson That there la no contract made. Mr. Bardsley The contract had been awarded but not approved by Councils. This Is your allegation? Mr. Henderson Yes, and as a consequence the contract Is not valid. Mr. Bardsley I would like to know where the "nigger In the wood-pile" Is. A Committeeman The ordinance says that the award of a contract shall be made with or without the asking of proposals. I don't see anything la this charge at all. Mr. Baidsley at this point launched out against the reporters, stating that there were many committees which would like to have their business made pub lic, and others who did not want the reporters about. This point was very plain, but as the gentleman em plotU an innuendo where he might have used a re quest, it did not take. He continued : In my humble opinion, the charge made by Mr. Henderson and Mr. Woodruff (of the Norris Iron Works) has not been sustained. Furthermore, 1 believe that if Mr. Henderson gets this contract, be would have the cugine bulit where It could be done the cheapest. Mr. Henderson In Philadelphia. Mr. Bardsley No. I don't believe any man Is se whole-aouled as to not take his woik where ha can have It done cheapest In order to beneUt his fellow citizens. One of your charges Is done away with, vis. : That Councils are nut obliged to advertise for proposals. Mr. Henderson I have a desire, for no personal benefit, but for the goon of all Pniladelphla mecha nics, that all work should be given out by contract, after propusals have been advertised. If this Is done my object will be accomplished A member I move that we adjourn. I see nothing to act upon. The committee then adjourned sitie did, and re solved that a report of the facts be made to Coun cils. Wash Clothes.

Senate. - Washington, A prll 4. Mr. Anthony Mid a bill having keen paeud jreolerdHy, he now (tavo notiue that he would hereafter object to the transacting of any other buninma tlian waa apeoiiied in the rule of tha Senate limiting leai.lation. At r. (Sherman's reaolntion to provide for a bill to tuppreaa Kn-klux waa then considered. Mr. Hlair resumed the floor and aaid he had been aaked yesterday by the (entleman from Ohio (Mr. bherman) what was tho remedy in his (Blair's) opinion for the ahamoleaa condition of affairs under radical rule in South Carolina and Louisiana? He would answer that, in tha first place, it waa certain that no remedy oould be of any avail, nnleee the intelligence ana character of the South are allowed to have some control in this aff air. In regard to depriving negroes in the Sou'h of the right to vote, the people of the South were willing to give negro suffrage a fair trial, which it hai not yet had beoaune of the interforenoe of Northern political ad venturers and similar means. If, after a fair tr'al, it was found neces sary to abolish negro suff rage is a moans of saviug the free institutions of tbe country, it could be dona by constitu tional means. Congress bad confessed that the eipan rutntof negro snttrage in the District of Uolumln wut a failure by providing a territorial government of whioh tha President appointed the prinoip.l ottioer 1 be property owners and responsible man of tha district had glbdly h.iled the change aa a relief from tbe govern ment of a rabble largely made up of poor negroes. Mr. Bbcrinaneaid that negro suffrage in tha dislriot bad been agitated ever since be came to Washington, and theugbt it had nothing to do with tfaechanteof tba form of government, lie did not agree tuat tbe two eluo tions at whioh the negrees hud v ted had shown tbe principle to be a failure, as the Mayors of the oity of Washington, Messrs. Bowen anl Kuiory, hai proven geod select iona. Mr. II sir then replied to Variou po nU In tha debate Fur Ki nini their belief m me unconstitutional sa l fraudulent character of tha reconstruction measures he (Blair) and other Demecrats had been called revolution ists, Tnose reconstruction acta were originated by tne sunie 1 its of men who passed tha alien and sedition laws, and tbe r power waa rapidly waninv. Mr. Morion argued that Mr. lllair had at first denied the occurrence of outrages m tbe South, aad bad auose qutntly admitted them to belo hia argument aa to tbe refeulis of official maladministration in the Soath. The whole of tbat Senator's argument indicated that it wai tbe purpose of tba Democratic party tbat negro suffrage shall be overthrown, and they intended to luake this a tool in tbe next Presidential election. Int. Blair remarked that the only party wbich had shown disposition to make negro suit rage a tost was the one to when tba Senator from ludiana (Mr. Morton) beloneJ, aa they bad taken the suff rage away from tue colored peo ple of the District of Columbia, and from tha whits moo too. Mr. Morton replied that the change in tha Government of Ihe District etfeetod white and colored soil rage alike; and tbat under a Territorial Lievermneul, with a ., tt t iu Congress and an enUrgemunt of legitimate power, the political power of tho people of tho District, insteajof being lessened, had been vastly iuoreoaod, and Congress bad only asserted us oouii Jenoa in uagro suit rage. Whatever had been tikon from tbe white una had bum taken from the nero. Tue form of the Ku klux catb whu h prevented the admiaaion of a negro or a re publican, ant: the fact that outrages were not direotal against men guilty of malieMauce in olhce, were proofs iu ' denial of the charges brat, as to tha aii.t..n of radi cal Kn-klux; aud second, that thia organisation iu the South had originated as solf uufeusa agunsiauivil iuil-adruiListration.- t7i '1 Le.bemior (Blair) had stated that tha 8.uth wan w II instogive nrgio aullraite a lair trial ibt is, they were willing to givs it a fair trial unber JJetmurstio auapio is, and to depuve tbe negroes of their voios wheiievor th.iy did not vola Ihe Deuioomt.o ticket, 'i b it Senator might deny it, but it was iudisputahly that the Democratic tarty would deny the ballot to the naro. House. Mr. Cobb, of North Carolina, replied to his Deiuoc ratio colleagues. Messrs. Wad. loll and biiober. and allowed tbat out mges still exist in tuat State. Tue Ku klux kltns are a lisuiocrstic organisation ani (iirejt their Veiigauce agauiat Bepublicaju. Tbe strung arm of the law shaull be eitenged te afford protection ta tba loyal anl Svwrt the blew aimed at tba national life. Give ae thevrotaa tkm of the laws, and wa will help yon to relieve all from political disabilities. Messrs. Tonne aad Price, of Oearrla, briefly addrtonaa tha Hoaoa against (ha bill, tha lattor asking that th people of th South he aaved front the farther infliotion of wrosg , and sayiag they desire to be restored to all their tights aadsrtb Constitution and to be protected by th law. Mr. Relief caused to be read tha following despatch, which he Intended aa a reply to that read by th gentle man from Ohio (Mr. Morgan) th day after th Hew Urmpshire election, namely : Harifoiid, Spill 4.-Hon. W. ft. Keller: W have circled onr Governor and three Congressmen, aad th Democrat is, as you know, a good a protectionist a yea ara." This was greeted with laughter oa both aide ef th Honse. Mr. Morgan replied, w have elected fonr ont ef th seven member from New Hampshire and Connecticut, and therefore we congratulate ourselves. Mr. liarfield of Ohio, after eulogizing tha wisdom of those who framed the Constitution, argued that ainoa th adoption of the amendments to that instrument freedom and suffrage are eeenred and can be enforced by tba direct legislation of Congrese, and tha life and liberty and property of the citir.ena protected in tha States, and nob aa of original jurisdiction, but as a residuary power, wbere the States fail to secure or deny tha equal proteo. t ion of the law. If this bill proposed to punish persons for violations of State law, it was going beyond tha legal line, and he eonld not snpport tho measnre. It was designed to suspend tha privileges of the writ of hsheus corpus, and to anthorir.e tha Preaident to da ds re martial law. Ha would aak whether tha oooasion had arisen tc cry "Havoc and 1 et slip tba doga of war." H waa ready, in the defense of tho Government, to send down sa army to enforce the lews, bnt he did not want to alarm the prople of the United States by caUmg into ex ercise all the tremendous powers of war. Mr. Butler, of Maasaehnsetts, spake of tha disease and Its onuses, ssying it is evident that the lawlessness of th Eoutb, at first undirected save by its bates, has now be come organised in tbe service of a political party to crush its opponents and to drive from their borders every friend of a Republican administration, for this pnrpeno it is organized. For this purpose it receives the orders and executes the decrees ef a central chief. For tbia purpose it murders legislators and judges, burns school houses and churches, murders mail agents, overawes courts, and assaults tha jndges, breaks jails, and kills or release the prisoners as they ara foes 01 friends, binders the collection of th revenuessnd outrages its officers, and levies a stealthy war upon tba United States, in which it is supported by a majority of toose who favored tha causa of secession in the South, or its vije bands oould not sustain theoiselve for an hour; is connived at and in colleague with Stat governments in some States, or is too powerful or too wary to be met in all places where it has shown its monstrous head. If it was not political in the beginning, yet as tha objects of its iury as to persons were negroes and Northern men who had gone South, the only friends of Republican liberty, and aa to property, school-houses, and churches, end the humble dwellings of the people, allot whioh wa proudly claim to be the friends and instruments for th piopogandism of Republican principles, it has necessarily become a political engine in the hands of tbe Dnmooraey, who oppose liberty and equality of right in the South, and all education and religious instruofon there. If I err in tbis Irt any gentleman point me to a school house or church built in the Sooth for theuso of the poor man. unite or DiacK, with money subscribed by a Dtitiorrntis organization in tne North, and I will retract the chnrge, while I can find hundreds of both built by Republican societies, bo- h secular and religions I admit lolly thct these ata grave charges atones against tha De mocratic party and a portion of th people ot tha South, and if, as it is claimed, these things are mre figments of tre imagination, if, aa is claimed here in debite, theaa outrages are only spaemodio, and ara frowned down and pnnisbed by tha communities in whioh they occur, as a rule, or crime, as ceoimitted and punished, to nsa tha jeers and taunts of gentlemen in Matsachnsetta. then wa ara open to all tba charges made against us by th Demooratio advocates on this floor of the maintenance of the present state-of affairs In tbe South; that we ara simply endeavoring to get np a cry for party purpo-es, snd we ought to be burled from our seats by a deceived and indignant people. Ha then exhibited a portion of tha proof upon wnich ho proposed to stand or fall, even if there were none other in tha jadg. mentof every right-minded and honorable man. A f ter furl her remark ho said, thus I have shown you th disrate open th body politic and its causes. What then is the remedy? I can suggest a panaoea for all tbia trouble, wbich I solemnly assert, before God and th country, in my judgmrnt would be instantly and entirely effectual, and thoroughly cura all these evils oould it b put in operation. Lrl (he llrmocratie party through oft Ut lender, North anrl South, of all its ortfanizitiona, proclaim that it wa necessary tor th tveerti of the. Democracy that thee murdVrt, outrage, ai.rf irronv" ehould etop, and that lift, property, and all tho right ot citizen mutt be repe.e.ted, or they could not choo a Htmvbratte I'reri'linl in 1872, and from that hour 1n my hetief profound peace and quiet tcohld reign in toery county in the. Southern titatm,inomuch that the hated and deepitert Yankee uchool-marm might teach unditlnrbed negro children from the rotomae to the Kio Grande, yea,evtn how to read the Holy ,' criiiturer. But it is too painfully evident, from the eonrse of de bate on this floor, that wa cannot hopa for any sach sub lime exhibition of virtue and patriotism. The Democracy will not give np their party organizations in tba SontB. and there is nothing left for us bnt to pass strong and vigorous laws, to be promptly executed by a firm haod, armed when need b with military power. In my judg ment, if the Republican party oannot stand tha neoeaaary proper constitutional legislation to protect its friends at tba South, and tha citizens of tbe United States every where then the sooner the men who are shocked by such legislation leava it th better for th party and th country. y Because, If kept alive without tha ability to pass such measures to protect the lives and property of the citi zens of the United States againat organized rapine and murder, its usefulness as a party organization hai oeaaed. Speaking of the President, be aaid, If I were to pass acnticirm upon his aoministration, and it would cer tainly be the only one to which it is with any show of jus tice open, it wonld be that the President basbeen too scrupu'ons in keeping the administration of tbe Govern ment too completely within tha letter of the laws, never by ary chance overstepping its bounds, although sorely tempted so to do in order to suppress violence and enforce order and peace. Such indeed was the animadversion made upon it by my colleague (Mr. Dawes) in the debate the other day, when in deploring tbis state ot things in the South ha said sub stantially, that "we had laws enough on this subject, bnt tbe fault was one of administration." Be it so, but that is not the fault usually attributed to a reckless gnawer after power, or a seeker to overthrow th liberties of tha peoplo and make himself supreme dictator. Towards the conclusion of his speech he aaid- Gentle men on the other side of the House threaten tbat if wo paaathis bill we shall destroy tha Repnbliccnpxrty; that an outraged and indium people wiil drive na from our seats. If they believe what they say, then why not get out , of tha way and let na pass it. Why filibuster to prevent i the enactment of this, er, as they diolare, a woraa on ' from being offered t We believe, on th contrary, that an indignant paopl ought to hurl us from our seats, and that tba Republi can party ought to be disbanded, if wa ara not strong enough to protect tba only peoplo in tba Sonth who were our frienda during the war sava the soldiers that wa sent to destroy tba Rebellion ; no, evsry act of oppositaon shows that their leaders well understand that with peace, quiet, and the obaervanoe of tbe laws in th South comes tba end of tha Democratio party there, and hence their determined and almost frantically furious opposition to any law which shall secure that consumma tion.
