ANOTHER PAY IN THE RUMI
Those two celebrated pnlitieul hlgl
rrnynion llinghum and lttitler look
another tilt in tho loyal beargarden
on tlio 20th tilt., rntlicr more highly
flavored with personalities thun that
of the week preceding. Tho spoon
hero.it will bo observed, again chnrges
tlio Ohio buffoon with being a murder
er, and in this tho Into decision of tho
Supremo Court justifies him. Theso
two leaders of tho great moral purty,
churging each other with boing mur
derers and cowards, is certainly disre
putable to tho party, if not to them
selves. But to tho debate :
Mr. Boti.kr, of Massachusetts, asked
and obtained unanimous consent to
nuiko a personal explanation. The
time boing limited to fifteen minutes,
bo stated that he caused to bo placed
on tho desk of each moinber a copy of
Mr. lliughum's speech tho other day,
in tho personal discussion with him
self, Bhowing, in parallel columns, the
speech as it appeared in tho manu
script of tho reporters and the speoch
as published in the Globe. Tho speech,
as written, contained 58D words, and
as printed it containod 1,047 words,
and tliero were in tho reporter's man
uscript 282 erasures and alterations.
Uo bad understood the rulo to be that,
in a personal debato, a member had
no right to make any changes unless
they wcro submitted to the member
uflected by them. 1 bat rule had been
violated in this caso. In tho matter
thus interpolated was this sentence:
"What does the gentleman (meaning
ilr. liutler) know of tho evidence in
the case, und what does bo caro for
the evidence, when he thus assails
the oflicial conduct of those who con
stituted the court?"
Ho would state the evidence on
which ho had tho other day made the
statement that Mrs. Surrutt was im
properly convicted. He held in his
band tho printed report of tho trial,
and hud examined it with great care
long before, because this was no spo
radic thought ofhis. It was the result
of careful and anxious investigation
for another and a different purpose, to
see who were in tho great conspiracy.
The gentleman (Mr. Iiingham) imd
said ho was the advocate of the Uni
tod States on that trial, That was a
great, mistake. Ho was tho special
judge advocate, whoso duty it wus to
protect the rights of the prisoner as
well as of the United States, and to
sum up the cvidenco and state the law.
But there was ono piece of evidence
within the gentleman's (Mr. Iling
bum's) knowledge which he had not
produced ou that most momentous !
inui.
When Booth was captured by Lieu
tenant Colonel Conger there was, said
Mr. liutler, taken irom his pocket a
diary liko the ono I now hold in my
nana, (folding up a small morocco
covered pockot diary), in which be set
down diiv by day bis plans, his
thoughts, his motives and his excuse.
That was put into the possession of
tho government, but it was not laid
before the Military Commission, al
though tho gentleman (Mr. Hln-I.om)
did lay before tho court Booth's tobacco
pipo, spur, knife, and other articles
lound on bis person.
The diary was not produced. That
diary appears now before our Judicia
ry Committee, and let mo say here
that I did not obtain my information
from that committee, with tho eigh
teen pages of entries made prior to
the time of Mr. Lincoln's assassina
tion absent. The edges show that
these pages wcro all cut out. What I
want to know is First. Was that
diary whole when it came into the
bands of tho government f Second.
Whether it was good judgment on tho
part of thoso who were prosecuting
the assassins of Abraham Lincoln to
put in a tobacco pipe, found in Booth's
pocket, as evidence against the prison
ers, while the diary in Booth's own
handwriting, detailing all the particu
lars ofhis crime, was withheld F I did
not chargo the able, brave and gallant
soldiers who sat on that court with
ny wrontr.

Tbey did not see the diary. They
did not knowof its existence. If they
had, they might havo given a differ
ent account of tho matter. Who
spoliated that book ? Who suppress
ed that evidenoe t Who caused that
innocent woman to be hangod, whileho
had in his pockets tho diary which
would have shown at least what was
the idea and what were tho thought
of tho main conspirator? There is
still remaining in that diary a memor
ablo instance, written but a few hours
bc.'oro Booth's death. I quote from
memory : "I have endeavored to cross
the Potomac fivo times, and failed;
I propose to return to Washington
and givo myself up, and clear myself
from this great crime." How clear
himself by giving himself np, and dis
closing his accomplices f Who were
they ? Who spoliated that book after
at got into possession of tho govern
ment, if it wus not spoliated beforo 1
Why was not Lieutenant Colonel
Conger allowed to go on and state
what bad been found on Booth's body f
The questions were carefully put to
him, so that he should not be misun
derstood, about this book. He identi
fies Uie knife, pair of pistols, holster,
tobacco pipo, cartridges, a bill of ox
change, etc., but ho wus nowhere
disked, "Wcro tlicso nil the articles
that were lound on Booth J" If he
(had been asked that question be would
diave answered that ho took Booth's
diury from his pocket, as ho lay there
rasping in deuth. I do not know
what would have been the verdict of
the Military Commission if that evi
dence bad been produced. That evi
dence, found on Booth's person, should
have been produced. 1 understand
the theory to be. that tho reason it
was not produced was, lost Booth's
glorification of himself should go iHto
the case. I think that a lame excuse.
If an assassin enn glorify himself, let
Win do it ; there is no d:ingor of it.
Therefore, I again say, hero was a
tnost remarkable piece of evidence
found on tho body ,f tire great con
spirator, concealed. I will tako that
lack. 1 mean it was not put forward ;
tiot bretitht beforo the great public
mind. I belie vo that piece of evidence
would htve shown hat in mv judg
snout tho wfcola rase now abswn, that
IVoth, up to a erta1 hour, meant
and that he changed his purpose and
resorted to assassination. Mrs. Sur-
ratt may or may uot havo known of
ino cnantro ot purpose. hut I find
fault with in the Judge Ac vocato, who
did not sum up for the prisoner, is
that thero was no notice by him
brought to tho mind of tho Court in
his very able but very bitter urKiimcnt
against tho prisoner, of thischango of
purpose it JMrs.nurrattditlnotknow
of this change, she would have had no
knowledge of the intended ussasHi na
tion, and therefore could not huvo been
convicted.
Those are the reasons why I say I
am glad tho blood of that woman,
whether she wcro innocent or guilty,
is not on my head. X meant by no
means to Bay a word against the offi
cers who composed that commission.
They were military men, who relied
for tho law upon tho Judge Advocato,
who thought they had all the facts
before them, bnt beiore whom all the
facts were not put. I do not mean to
say that they judged wrong under tho
light which they had.
Tho point which I made, and tho
point which should stand mailo beforo
tho country, is that all tho testimony
was not beforo that tribunal. If all
tho testimony had been presented wo
should have been able to pursue the
accomplices, and to find out who it
was thai changed Booth's purpose
from capture to assassination ; who it
was that was to profit by tho assassi
nation, and that would not profit by
the ccptureof Mr.Lincoln ; who it was
that should succeed to Mr. Lincoln in
case tho bullet mado a vacancy. In
some aspects of the caso that diary
might not havo been legal testimony,
but its moral evidence would have
carried conviction to tho mind of ev
erybody, because it was tho dying
declaration of a mau who, assassin
though ho were, wus telling tho truth
between himself and God. How was
Booth, by coming buck to Washinir-
ton, going to clear himself of the irreat
criinccommittcd ? That question still
reinuins. Wcro the eighteen paircsol
Booth's diary gono when it cume into
tho possession of tho learned Judge
Advocate ? If so, why did ho not in
quire whut became of them f whether
Lieutenant Colonel Conger gave the
book to somebody ; whether it wont
from his hands into other hands, and
whoso knifo it was that cut out thoso
leaves ? I should not have pursued
this mutter further except that tho
gentleman (Mr. Bingham) charged me
with having mndo tho assertion I did
Uk..t - : -r u.
denco. lie has chosen to bring the
mutter here not I ; und I desire now
that in some form this niattor shall be
fully und thoroughly investigated.
Here tho fall ot the Speaker's bum
mer indicated the termination of the
fifteen minutes allowed to Mr. But
ler. A proposition for an extension of
timo was mado, but Messrs. Van
Wick and Broomull objected.
Mr. liiNOHAM, of Ohio, asked leave
to reply to Mr. Butler.
Mr. Broomall, of Pennsylvania, in
quired as to tho length of lime ho do
sired r
Mr. Binoiiam, said ho only wanted
tho satno timo that was given to bis
assailant and accuser.
Tlio House granted him fifteen min
utes. Mr. Bingham commenced by coll
ing on Mr. Butler for tho book.
Mr. Butler, holding tip tho report
of tho assasiination trials, nsked was
that the book f v
No, sir, said Mr. Bingham. I menu
the diary.
Oh, suid Mr. Isitler, the gentle
man cannot have that.
Note by tho reporter Mr. Bing
ham supposed that Mr. Butler bud
Booth's diary, while bo only hud one
which bo said looked like it in outwurd
nppearance
This misapprehension caused Mr.
Bingham to Buy yo, sir, that is anoth
er exhibition of fairnes and manliness.
Mr. Biti.er tried to explain, bnt
Mr. Bi!oiiam would not permit him,
and requested that bo should sit down.
If he had not the diary, ho said, ho
should not havo said a word about it.
But, intcrpoficd Mr. Butler, I know
w ho bus.
Mr. Binciiiam suid And I do not.
Ho then went on to say as to the re
port furnished to mo of tho hurriod
and excited debato which took place
between myself and tho gentleman
which was provoked by an unjust and
unwarranted imputation on bis part,
none the less unjust and disreputablo
because ho selected tho softest, word
in tho languago
Tho Speak kr intimated that the
word "disreputublc,""was not a proper
word to apply to another member m
debato.
Mr. Binoiiam I beg tho Speaker's
pardon. To say that an accusution is
disreputablo is not unparliamentary.
I do not suy that the gentleman is dis
reputable. I am only sorry that the
Speaker did not discover such words
as that when used by my accuser, but
I tako it back under tho direction of
tho Speaker, and perhaps I will not
bo porinilted to say anything.
Tho Speaker intimated that Mr.
Bingham might procood in order.
Mr. Binoiiam continued In the ex
citement and hurry of the timo it so
happened thut tho report ol my reply
to tho gentleman wus the most im
perfect report that was ever sent to
no of remarks tnado by mo in the
House. Any gentleman may examine
it, and he will fail to find on tho cor
rections that I mado a single accusa
tion that is not by express words or
by necessary implication in tho notes
of the reporter. I charged the ge
tloman (Mr. Butler) with toHstituting
himself an anjust accuser; 1 charged
him with having assaulted my olhcisl
conduct on this floor and elsew here
the olliciul conduct of mon who were
his peers in tho field. And yet tho
gentleman is anvon to such straits,
alter making this assault upon mo,
and tries to get out of the difficulty
into which ho has put himself by get
ting up this mutilated report ot my
luiumnB, nitu priming it. no 18 entl
lied to ull ho can train bv anv auul
courso of procedure, and therefore
1 lenvo him, simply adding tho re
mark that in the condensed reports
in the morning papers 1 find aubstan-
liany overy word that is recorded in
tho Globe, ovon down to the very last
word that I uttored, and which tho
reporter hud the kindness to prooorvoj
that I defy his calumny;'- -
Whut chargo is ho complaining of f
That I said ho hud condemned with
out knowing or carinrr for the evi
dence; Isaysoyct. Ifheistho lawyer
ue is repuieu to uc, then tie is to bo
pitied lor coming hero and arraigning
his peers for not consenting to admit
tho testimony of a man accused, made
after tho fact I dely him, by any in
vesligation which he dures instituto,
hero or anywhere, to show that any
communication came into my hands
purporting to bo tho production of J.
Wilkes Booth thai wus not mado af tar
tho fact, and long after tho fact. Is
thero any lawyer in America or Eng
land who would say that tho words
und declarations of an accused felon,
aftor tho fact, are evidence which the
advocate for tho government is bound
to admit in any court f I treat with
contempt and scorn any intimation
from any quarter that 1 or my associ
ate counsel were under obligation to
admit uny such evidence. The law
docs not require it. Common luw--
tho growth of centuries, the gathered
wisdom of a thousand years excludes
it. Perhaps that croat monument of
wisdom and learning is not equal to
ino incomparable irenions of the in
comparable hero of Fort Fisher.
Laughter, which the Speaker induav-
orcd to suppress. I hope that is par
liamentary.
Mr. Butler tried to get in a remark,
but Mr. Bingham would not let him,
nddingthat the gentleman from Mass
achusetts hud no light to ask favors
ut his bands.
Mr. Binoiiam continued I never
saw any memoranda bv'John Wilkes
Booth which indicated" any plan or
motive by which he wan to curry out
bis projected conspiracy. I never
saw any such thing, und am not sur
prised that tho gentleman would not
let me seo tho book which bo put into
t.i. ,
Mr. Biti.er again essayed to make
an cxplaination, but with no belter ro-
sult than beloro.
Mr. Binoiiam suid No, sir. I do
not caro about it. Having refused to
let mo inspect the book on w hich he
based his charges, he may now imitate
tho cxamplo of the vision seen in the
Apocalypse, und turn round and rut
it. Laughter. 1 Tho gentleman talks
of a siioliuted book. Who spoliated
it? That is ubout as interesting a
query as that to which I referred tho
other day 'Who killed Cock ltohin V
Who knows that it wus spoliated f If
John Wiles Booth tore pages of it, was
that spoliation : i ho gentleman s
words aro as iinnortunt as they arc
unwarranted.' "Let tho gallud jade
wince my withers are unwrung." I
chullengo him and daro him, here
or anywhere, in this tribunal, or uny
tribunal, to assert that I spoliated any
book. Such n chargo as thut, without
ono titlo of evidence, is only fit to
como from a man who lives in a bot
tlo and is fed with a spoon. Laugh
ter. Ono word more, to show tho
heartless maliciousness of this assault,
if that bo parliamentary. I huve
great respect for tho Speaker person
ally, and mainly for his entiro fair
ness ; and if anything said by mo in
the heat and excitement of the mo
ment rests even eolorubly on the
Sieuker, 1 ask tho reporter to rccjrd
that in tho presence of tho House I
recall it, and disclaim any such pur
pose or any such intention.
The Speaker remarked that Mr.
Binirhum had reflected on him.
Then, said Mr. Binoiiam, 1 ask tho
Speaker's pardon. 1 believo that a
more impartial presiding officer nev
er sat since tho Commons' first met.
What is '.ho other statement here
showing the utter hearllessncss of this
accusation, its utter disregard and
contempt for all decency und all law f
It is that 1 controlled the cvidonco in
the court. Tho gentleman (Mr. But
ler) knows that 1 was not tho official
organ of the court. Ho knows that
its recorder was tho Judgo Advocuto
General of tho United States, and yet
I am to be at fault because, I did not
overrulo the official orun of the court.
Tho gentleman bus undertaken a
task utterly beyond bis powers, and
only proves in this thing which he
has undertaken to do thut tho execu
tion of tho war on his part, in this in
stance as in others, is by no means
up to the high and sounding man
ifesto. Laughter. Let tho gentle
man read my argument on that
subject, and let him show wherein it
is fulso, corrupt, malicious or unjust.
I recognize that at lust justice is tho
rulo of conduct, both oflicial and un
official, inasmuch as it is tho nllribule
of tho great (od of Nature Nothing,
gives mo more pain thun to bo com
pelled to uttor even an angry word
towards my fellow man. 1 may huvo
spnkon now with a beat unbecoming
in mo in this place. If I huvo I shall
ask the poor privilege of softening my
unjrry words in tho official roport.
Hero tho full of tho Speaker's ham
mor indicated tho close of Mr. Bing
ham's quartor hour.
Mr. Blt&ck. triod to make
explanation, bt
Mr. PikR and others objected.

SPEECH OF HONWM. A. WALLACE.
Delivered la the note Nensta, February
A, IHflT, on the bill to punish H.llroa.l
corporation lor deluding Megreet from
Me. Bpiakkr : The broad nronosi-
tion befbro the Senate is, whether, in
11 tho publio -e!-tv;iee,0l tf,ie Htato
the black man shall he the equal of tho
white man. Senators may throw round
tho subject tho misty clouds of their
eloquence, ttiey may attempt to con
coal by their great powers of bcauti
ful diction this homely idea ; but when
wo come to invost galo the proposition
we find it to be, that in overy railroad
car, in every sleeping berth, upon er
ory passenger railroad in this Com
monwealth, the negro shall bo tho
equal of the white mun, und to this
proposition we must diroct our atten
tion. It does not only affect the street
cars in Philadelphia ; it is not only in
reference to the biuck soldier and bis
widow, as Senators assert, but ilia the
broad proposition to givo to the most
brutal and degraded negro a seat sido
by aide with tlio cultivated and intel
lectual lady. Shall the barbarous and
brutal ncijro, just emancipated from
sluvory, bo your tquul f Shall bo sit
side by aide with 3-ou!- If you are
ready for this, we ure not; and 1. as
ono of the Ilepresontatives of the poo
ploof Pennsylvania, assert that they
are not ready for it.
Our amendments to distinguish be-
twocn white and biuck, in regard to
this mutter, have boon voted down ;
and it only remains for us to stand by
our record.
Tho Senator from Bradford Mr.
Lundon asks the question, why shall
they not have theso rights ? I unswur
him in tho words of tho Senator from
Alleghon3-,Mr.Graham.l a irontleraan
whose entimonti and demeanor do
credit to the gooduesi of bis heart. In
unswering tho queries of the Senator
from Bradford 1 answer them in the
language of the Senulor from Alle
gheny, thut within our own breasts
exists the feeling that denies the right
to do this thing. It is ono ot the
plainest of tho instincts of our human
ity. It is thut unspciikubloBomolhing
instilled into mun, which laws can
eUiTsViryTu'c'L' JaMaWfrn
cut. is u grcvious mistake.
You might as well attempt to re
move mountains. Sir, penul statutes
nover worked a conversion. As legis
lators, we mast rocognixo tho exist
ence of things as tbey aro. We must
not set up a brilliant ideal, and then
attempt to legislate to consummate
that ideal ; but wo must tuko things
as they aro, and conform our laws to
their existoneo as wo find thorq. You
must shapo your laws to pruclical ro
alities and mould vour statutes to tho
condition of things; and I say to the
.senator Irom tirudiord that thero is
that inborn instinct within ut that
demos the feasibility of this proposi
tion. What aro wo here for f Is it to com
pel people to do what they think iB
right, or is it, air, to follow the bent
and genius of thoso people T Is it, sir,
to frame luws adapted to their ideas,
or to mould statutes to compel them
to bate and detest the Government
under which they dwell f Sir, the na
tion that is the least govorned it tho
best governed; and when we under
take to make luws incompatible with
tho ideas of our people, and compel
them to obey doctrines which the)- do
not wish to obey, you simply do that
which is not within your province, as
legislators. It is a loading govern
mental principle, that whenevor the
spirit, and tho wishes, und the bent of
tho men of the nation lead in one
direction, it is the duty of the rulers
ol that nation to follow that lead, un
less it be directly in opposition to tho
form of government under which ',ho
people live. This, sir, is my view of
what is our duty upon this subject;
and when wo huve performed our du
ty in obeying it we fullill our mission.
Sirs, tho people aro the masters, under
our form of government, and wo tho
servants ; but when we undertake to
pass luws against their wishes, we be
como tho musters and they tho serv
ants just tho revorue ot tho princi-
os does not exist. There is no such
equality, and tho Senator from Krio
Mr. Lowry admitted it.
Genuine Democracy does not justify
us in calling for this extromo equality;
but it seeks, on tho contrary, to give
the largest liberty to tho largest num
ber, in accordance with tho condition
in which tho population of the nation
is found at the time the law is made
tho largest liberty to the largest num
ber, in accordauco with tho existence
of things that is the test and true
purposo of roul Democracy. You at
tornpt to make men believe in nartic
ulur doctrine by fbreo of penal stut
ntoft. Thin m tho doctrine of licuuhli-
cuuism thedoctrineofoxtremoequul
ity Democracy run mad. Such equal
it' can never bo, until tho niilloii-
mm bus come. And as it cannot exist
in our lurid to long as classes do exist,
so we aro not to attempt it by penal
statutes. Compulsory laws in reirard
to this class ot subiocts never brinir
nooui tne results tuey aim at. ilicrc is
mat in ttio mind ot ono man which
leads him to resist and oppose all ef
forts to compel him todo a thing that
his nuturo tells him not to do; there
is an instinct in the mind of man thut
makes him say, I Will nono of this.
Compulsory laws for regulating tho
manners, customs, instincts, or nro-
judiccs of a people, never bring the re
sults aesirod. .Moral suasion on the
one side, and penal statutes on the
other, are presented to us. On tho
ono hand you have that which will
tend to umeliorato tho condition ofj
tint class, and wipe out this preju
dice against race ; and if you are their
friends you will attempt to educate
them up to our standard, and romovc
tho prejudices of our luce by Chris
tian argument, by moral suasion, by
morul training if you cun affect it, it
is by these alone; and when you have
done so, then tho time may huvo come
lor you to pass luws to brine ubout so
ciui equality, tint nrst use vour
moral weapons. Tench by mild argu
ments; do not attempt to force them;
you opposo your own efforts, if you
do.
. Sir, thero arc two sorts of tyranny :
ono is that in w hich the government
lays a heavy bund upon its subjects,
and presses them down ; but another
lorni is that ol tyranny of opinion, in
which tho governing power under
takes to force upon men tho will of
that governing power in control or
restraint of opinion. This is tyran
ny shocking to thoso who are gov
erned. Whenever you attempt thus
whom the chains of bondage havo just
ocon lined, jr they bo fit to govern
great States, what meant the assertion
that slavery was a curse f Sir, these
men aro unfit to rule, and yet you
would consign three-fourths of your
fairest territory to their control.
I havo discussed this proposition
with a view to present some of the
arguments in opposition to your finely
drawn theory. But, for myself, I have
to say that I believo, and shall vote
upon that belief, that this race is not
the equal of our own. that the govern
ment created by Washington. Jeffer
son and Madison was placed in the
nanas ol whito mon, and that it should
ooutinuo in the baada, and under the
control, of the white race. These arc
my ideas, and for them I am willing
to bo judged. But, to como back to
tho subject : Are you willing to recog
nize this equality in tho railroad car!1
If you aro, then tho next step is, of
course, to iccognizo their equality
with you at the bullot-box. For both
these ideas we have a decided no.

counsel the reason of this discrepancy,
Gov. Stone replied that " he regarded
the investigation by the General As
sembly merely as a political invesiitja
tion, und the uresent as a leaal investi
gation, and hence the difference in his
evidence." Ii this be a fair sample of
"loyal morulity, it is suggested that
all Kudiculs, certainly all such Iludi
culs, be put under outh. It miirht
put un end to the fictitious talcs of
outrages at tho houth upon the lrocd
men and "loyal" whito citizens.

but when we fuil to recognizo them
we aro falso to ourselves and false to
our outht as legislators of tho Com

laws to practicul ends. Wo must
muko luws for classes as they exist,
and wo must not attempt to bnn or

in this country. Negroes aro a class ;
white men aro a cluss ; and wo must
recognize this fact. We dare not ig

to a groat lending idea in principle, or
to a recognizod instinct in the muss of
the peoplu, we attempt to bring the

other, which may God forbid in this
enlightened day.
Senators talk of God-given rights.
inero aro woo given rights, 1 grant
own, they will reluso
obedience to j our law, becauso it is ut
variance with their own rights and

tho servant or benefuctor, are really
tho t-rur.t of tho pooplo. You cunnot
reguluto tho citntoms and hnhits of
society by penul Btututes. China un
dertakes so to do, und their people and
their government, fir hundreds of
y curt, havo shown no progress. So
it will bo hero, when you utlempt to
bring our instincts, customs and hubits
all up to nn unbending rule ; you will
have a nation that stops still at the
point to which you have brought it,
and thoro will bo no progress from
that point. Such will bo tho results
of the doctrino inculcated by Senators.
I did not rise to muko a lengthy ar
gument, but simply to udvuncu some
ideas in antu'ronisin to those of tho
Senator from Bradford Mr. Landon
and the Senator from Krie Mr. Low
ry on this question. While they talL
about tho God-givon rights of uinu,
with high-flown sentiments, couched
in beautiful lauguagu, tbey forgot the
gieut luuding idea; they forget thut
wo have a country in w hich tliero is
an existing dilicrcnce of opinion.
