The puirs wore announced as on the
former vote, with the exception of that
of Messra. Sargent a.nd Eulon, whiub
was broken by the return of Mr. Sar
gent to the city, and both Sonators
votod.
During tho roll call Mr. Dims (III.)
inquired what would bo tho efToot of
the adoption of this amendment.
The Vice President. Tht question
will then recur on tho resolution of
the committee to swear in Kellogg.
Mr. Davis, I volo aye. ,
Tho Vico President having an
nounced the result of tho vote being
equally divided, the Chair voios in tho
negative and declares the aoiciidruont
lost.
A POINT orOKDEH.
Mr, Thurmtin. I riso to a point of
order. I am compelled to challenge
the right of the Chair to voto on this
rosolution,
Mr. Edmunds. To such extremities
havo wo como at last.
Mr. Thurmun said if it were a direct
voto upon the question of seating Mr.
Butler, instead of a vote on an amend
ment to anothor resolution, he was
quite sure that the Vice President
would not have the right to vote in
rase of a tie. This was a very inter
esting question, and he submitted that
the provision of the Constitution that
ihe Vice Prosident shall not vote ex
cept in case of a tie did not apply to
the seating of a Senator. The other
provision of the Constitution that each
Houso shall be the judge of the elac.
tion and qualification of its own mem
bers loft this matter entirely In the
hands of the Senate The question
must be decided by the Senate itself,
and the Vice Presidont could not vote
in caso of a tie. Tho Vice President
whs not a purt of tho Sonate, but simply
the presiding officer. TTo was not
olected as a Senator.
Mr. Edmonds said if the whole of
this affair was not somewhat exlra-
oadiunry, this latter move would cap
the climax; however, it was in keep
ing with the wholo affair, so nothing
could bo said on tho point. Tho Con
stitution provided, without limitation
or qualification, that tho Vico Presi
dent should havo the casting vote. If
the proposition of the Senator from
Ohio bo truo, the Vice Prosident could
not vote on a bill or anything.
Mr. Hoar (Mass.) reforrcd to a ease
in 1850, where tho vote of tho Vice
Prosident was questioned and he was
allowed to vote.
Mr. Eaton (Conn.), said the action
of. tho Senate some twenty five or
thirty years ago was taken without
thought and without time for exami
nation. He bad no doubt in his own
mind that tho Prosident of the Senate
had no power to act In the organiza
tion of the Sennto. Ho would go
farther and say, if any man should got
a seat in the Senate by tho action of
the Vico Prosident, if he (Mr. Eaton)
lived in 1879, he would ask that the
chair filled by such person be declared
vacant. In his opinion, such action
on tho part of the Vice President
would be a violation of tho Constitu
tion of the United Slates.
Mr. Edmunds. The Conslitulion
notwithstanding.
Mr. Eaton to Mr. Bdmunds. My
friend is witty and satirical, but be
will find out this is not a onesided thing
although boforo he gets through with
it.
Mr. Allison. Suppose the Vice
Presidont had voted with you ?
Mr. Eaton. That is a supposition
my friend has no right to make. We
have learned during the last three days
that the supposition is not tonable.
Laughter.
Mr. Tburman said he made the point
of order for two reasons. In the first
place, he wanted to call the attention
of the Senate to the question, which
might sriso at any time, and, In the
next placo, he did not concur in the
views of some of his friends to the
effect that the Vice President might
have abstained from voting. If that
officer had the right to vote it was his
dutytovote. However, he (Mr. Thur
man) had achieved all he dosirod In
calling tho attention of tho Senate to
tho matter, but, as some Senators
thought ''sufficient unto the day is the
ovil thereof," he was quite contented
to withdraw his challenge
Vice Presidont Wheeler said he had
carofully considered the question as
to his right to vole in the eases where
the volt of the Senate wat equally di
vided and he bad no doubt of hit right.
Aftor what had fallen from the Sena
tor from Conneoticut (Mr. Eaton) he
would take occasion to say that as at
present advised he would exercise that
right in his discretion.
A MOTION TO RECOMMIT.
Mr. Sanlsbury submitted a subsli
lute for the resolution oi the oommit-
teo, reciting at length various charges
mado by Judgo Spoffnrd against the
returning offleort in Louisiana, the
legality of tho Legislature which elect
ed Mr. Kellogg, and that Mr. Kellogg
bimsolf, whon Governor, joinod in
illegal acts with tnah returning officers,
and therefore, providing for the re
committal of tht wholo question to
the committoo on privilege! and elec
tions, with inslruotioni to said com
mittee to Uke testimony in regard to
such charges.
Mr. Saulsbury, in support of his
amendment, argued that it would bt
an act of justice to ont of these con
testantt to take this testimony, that
tho Senate might know all tho tacit.
Mr. Wadleigh N. n jsnid tbs com
mittee bad what teemed to It good
reasons for refusing the request of Mr.
Spoffnrd to take testimony in regard
to tbcio charges when lie made such
application to the oommiltoe, as it'
would have led to further delny, and
tho subjeot hud already been thorough
ly investigated by Congressional com
mittees and was boforo the ooinmitleo
on thousands of pages of testimony
alroady taken, therefor they thought
it best not to delay tho case.
Mr Hill G argued that tho qnes.
tlsn keA .arj.looortarn beavinc, lie
heur him, and the country should hoar
him, that Judge Spofford appeared be
fore the committee and in the presence
of fJovernor Kellogg and'in' (no pres
once of his counsel, niadu tlistinct
charges that the Returning Hoard
eountod In members ol the ruekurd
Legislature for tho purpose of electing
Kellogg to the Senate, and thai Kel
logg himaclt was one of the promoters
of the fraud; that ho bud uccobs to
the board to carry out such fraud, and
it was carried out. ': lie challenged
any ono who votod in the oommiltoe
against taking testimony to point lo
any testimony in all tbo Louisiana in
vestigation heretofore mudo bearing
upon tho points which Judgo Spofford
alluded to. ' Whon Judgo Spufford
road to tho committee his fourth charge
as lo the complicity of Kellogg with
tho Returning Board in illegal acts,
Mr. Kollogg got up to Win issue with
him, when, Mr. 11 oar, a member of the
committoo, objocled. Mr. HpofTord
did not muke his ohargo behind the
door, but suid he could prove it, and
so far as any testimony having been
taken last winter on the subject of
this fulse charge, Judgo Ppoffurd said
facts had recently como to his knowl
edge. Ho did not want to reopen the
quostion of the electoral count, but he
did want Judge Spofford to have an
opportunity to prove his churgos. The
Legislature never did anything else
but elect Kollogg, and the whole fraud
was concocted by him. When a direct
charge of personal fraud was mude by
one ol the contestants In tho presence
of the other, it was tbo duly of the
Senate lo allow him to tuko testimony
to see if he could provo it.
Mr. Wadleigh said ho had listened
to the furious spcecn ol his fiiend from
Georgia with a good deul of interest.
because it showed how great a noise
could be made about a small inattor.
Ho thought Ihe Senator from Georgia
was not justified in stating all that he
bad stated. Mr. Wadleiuh then re
ferred lo lbs toslimony taken by Ihe
Sonalo committee, of which Senator
Howe was chairman; tho fit irons'
committee, of which Senulor Sherman
was chairman, and the Field and Mor
rison committees of tho Ilousoof Rep
resentatives Ho urgued thut ibis
testimony covered all ihe essentiul
points in the case, and for that reason

Pending discussion at 8 10 p. m.
Mr. Conkling moved that tho Senate

Mr. Patterson (S. C.) moved that
the Senato adjourn, which was agreed
to Yeus, 20; navs, 27.
Messrs. Davis, Conover and Patter

affirmative, and the Senate thereupon
djourned until 12 o'clock to-morrow.
JUDGE STROXa.
We think it would have been belter
for Judge Strong if he bud kept silent
like all tho other ol the eiijht members
of tht lato Presidential Commission,
who did more lo bring permanent dis
grace upon tho Republic than has been
done by all tho lories since the days ol
the revolution.
Judgo Strong, whon be was trying
to frame an excuse for his purl of the
greatest crime ot modern times, never
thought that tho very means used by
bira to screen himaclt from wrong in
tho Louisiana case, would only lend lo
reflect more clearly tho awful duformt
ty ol his conduct as to both Louisiana
and Florida. Judge Strong, as well as
all the othor of the eight, whose names
will go down to infamy, is not lo be
judged by what ho did as to Louisiana
alone. It is whathe did asto Florida
aa woll as Iouisiuna. Had there been
no Florida to this mutter, then, although
no honest man could for moment ac
quiesco in the Louisiana. Infamy, still
the character of the r.ioiiT, for coim
fcnn.would bo teutotally damned for all
time to come.
Judge Strong says that the rights of
tho States demanded the action which
the commission took in refusing to go
behind the certificate of tho Returning
Board of Louisiana. Very well. What
did you do with Florida? You rejec
ted tho certificate wbicb came to you
duly approved, sanctioned, and autben
licated by tin Supreme Court of that
State. How did you do this? leu
did it by going behind il. Tho very
thing that you refused to do when you
came to the case of Louisiana. You
went back of the certificate and under
took to determine the jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court of Florida in the
matter of the election of Presidential
electors, and yoa actually reversed the
Supreme Court of that State on thai
most vital question, to wit: Its power
to adjudicate on the question of the
election of its own Presidential F-lec
tors, a matter which You uii.d fa f he
cate of Iiuitinna to be A pvrxly state
matter. If so, what right had you to
settle the quostion of the jurisdiction
of tbt Supremo Court oi Florida upon
a purely State quostion 7 Had not
the Supreme Court of Florida a clear
right to declare their jurisdiction over
a subject tnatlor which yon declare to
be parrfy State matter t
You certainly do not bold that State
rights do not altacb to the action of ku
judicial tribunals of final resort in mat
ters which you say belongs exclusively
to the Stale. If so, wore you not
trampling upon the Stale, whon you
undertook to say to their Bupreme
Court that it had no jurisdiction on this
subject J When yon say that tbo Su -
preme Court of Florida bad no Jurisdio-1
tion, and thus reject the elootort re
turned by them, did you not clearly
annul her action T What moro direct
attack could you possibly have made
upon the State of Florida than to say
that her Supremo Court has no juris
diction over a purely State matter in
which it had decided that it had no
Jurisdiction, and by your decisions
reject the elector who came to you
endonwil by the Eunrome Court, and
fooled. Lotus aav to Judifo Stronit!
that the less that he attempts to de
fend bimsull, as to tlwnarl which be
took In a tribunal destined to eternal
infamy, the leas notorious will hi part
of tho crime become. When Judge
Strong can enthrone infamy upon the
seat of justico, when he can uiuku
brur.en inconsistency and chicanery
take tho place in the world of con
sistency and uprightness, then, and
not till llion.osn be make a satisfactory
explanation, oven to himself, of allow
ing what bo fears was a fraud, to suc
ceed as to Louisiana by refusing io use
tho very moans used by him and his
notorious confederates on the com mis
sion, in order locount Florida for Hayes.
We aro sorry tor Judge Strong, and
moro sorry for the judicial ermine of
our own honored Stale, wbicb be has
so signally disgraced. Well, bowover,
will it be for him if to hereafter keeps
silence about a matter that be can
never attempt to defend r palliato.
Any attempt of Judge Strong, or any
other ot thu Judiciously infamous right,
to excuse their conduct in this matter,
will only accelerate their progress to
that eternal doom which in tho end
will lorever overshadow them. When
lime completes ber list of the unjust
and wiikud judges, in tho "U " column
will be too nil thu name of Stuoao, and
in the space for remarks will be found,

York Oatettf,
A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.
So quietly, though steadily, has it
been going on that the Nortb can
scarcely reulir.e the political revolution
which has taken place in South Caro
lina since the reuongnilion of Govern
or Hampton. iivoiiiiions never go
backward, but this one has been re
troactive as well as progressive. At
ihe same lime that it has completely
transformed the political complexion
of the Slate government it baa reach
ed buck over the durk period of car-
pel-bug rule and remorselessly swept
its plunderers into the penitentiaries
thut stood ajar to receive them. Such
a spvclat'lo was never before witnessed
in this or any other country, and it
will stand nut tor generations to come
a terrible warning to those who would
set the law at defiance and still hope
to escape its certain retribution. Con-

it)Vod o( the n0ubus ol extravairano.
and crime under which their fair State
so long lriy groaning. In the last Leg
islature there were sixtoen Jtepubli
cans in tho Senate and fifty-nine in the
House. By convictions for forgery,
briber' and downright theft, this num
ber has been significantly reduced. Ot
the sixteen Republican Senators, ten,
including tho President, have resigned,
and of tho vacancies thus created six
have been filled hy Democrats, while
but thirty lour Republicans now hold
over in tho Houso that once numbered
fifty-nine. Thus the people ol the Pal
metto State have made the completion
of tho reforms they have instituted a
certainly. Still moro significant of
their purpose, bowover, is tho rest
IcssneHs with which they have follow
ed up the plunderers whom tbey have
dethroned, with the punishment de
manded by their crimes. They have
not pandered to the unholy sentiment
which would class bribery among
purely political offenses which 'ought
to be overlooked in a policy of "recon
ciliation," but resolutely upheld the
majesty of tho law and enforced ita
execution. It will never be forgotten
that, although upon all the juries be

is tho future which now opens before
the State where thieves do not go un
whipt of justice, but are stricken down
with its iron band. In half a year it
has purified its temple, driven out the

KELLOGG aND JUS CLAIM.
If the man whoae claim for scat in
the Senate as a representative ol Loui
siana were not lbs notoriously unscru
pulous wretch that be is, the Kepubli
onns who appear in his behalf would be
in a less humiliating position, worth
less as bis credentials are. But the
story of plundered Louisiana haa boon
given to the world in all Its sickening
details, and it familiar tn evory news-
paper reader. There is no psrt of that
story in which the name ot this carpet
bag adventurer does not appear in a
discreditable light A leech that fas
tened itself upon the State in the be
ginning of its trials, ho ia the last to
drop off, though gorged wltb tht spoil
of hit victim. Aa Foderal officer, as
Senator, as a Federal officer again, as
Governor and at claimant lor Sena
torial honors a second time, he hat nev
er relinquished one good thing nntil his
hand wat upon another, and either the
national or the Stale government hat
always bad to foot tbt bills contracted
by hit greed and ambition. Backed by
the army and navy of tho United Slates.
formally placed at hit disposal, bt
acbioved the leal of holding a Gover
norship, to which bt bad never been
elected, over t people whom bt devout
1 ly halod and hat publicly branded as
thieves and assassins, although forced
to eat bit words. 1 he lust years of
bit official life wero devoted to paving
tho way for tho preposterous claim that
bo now presents to a nauseated coun
try. Packard was to be Governor by
fair means or foul, and Kellogg was to
be Senator by f'uir means or foul. To
this end the great machinery ol fraud,
invented with the ingenuity of the devil
hy the carpet-baggers, his children, lor
the jwjrwlualino. of Jhx'r Twer, !yj
studiously inflamed ; the negroes were
organised into secret societies and drill
ed in lying; Executive. elcowncy was
made a political perquisite ; jail bird,
and black-legs were com missioned to
leglstur the voters and roceivu ballots ;
repealing was made a trade whose
profit was impaired only hy the num
ber of people engaged in it ; bloodshed
was courted as a means of inflaming
thu Nortb ; the affidavit mill was kept
in perpetual motion lo supply the in
creased demand for outrages, und when,
in spite ol all, a Democratic Legislu
lure was fairly elected a Republican
Legislature was counted in, in contemp
tuous defiance of a law that, literally
exocutcd, waa broad enough to cover
almost any species of rascality. The
man who was at the bottom of all this
deviltry, and for whoso sako jt was
done, it William Pitt Kellogg, lor whom
Mr. Conkling and Mr. Edmunds havu
now taken up tho cudgels, because
they want bis dirty vote in the fight
they are making against reconciliation
and reform.
But if Kellogg's character is notori
ously bad, his claim to a seat in the
Senate is no less contemptible from a
legal point of view. Pinchback was
rejected, and yet Pinchbeck's title was
infinitely belter than this man's. The as
semblage culled a Legislature thut went
through the form ol making Kellogg a
Senator came into existence for that
purposo, and when thut purpose was
accomplished so far as it could accom
plish it, tbo body would have given up
the ghost without more ado but for the
lact that tbey were kept under luck
and key by Packard's police and fed
with Packard's victuals in order that
bis share of the spoils of office might
be secured. As it was, the alleged
Legislature never performed single
Legislative function ; there is no trace
of its existence on the statutes of Louisi
ana. Packard signs the credentials,
and when was Packard called Govern
or, except by courtesy ? Defeated in
the election by a majority ot thousands,
he attempted to set up a government
of which the bogus Legislature was a
pari, but bis jurisdiction never extend
ed for a moment beyond the dirty
rooms in wbieh that body sal and tbo
sidewalk in front ol the building guard
ed by the police that prevented dis
solution. He was never owned as Gov
ernor by iho courts or pcoplo ol his
.Slate, or recognixed as Governor by
any branch of the Federal Government
for any purpose whatever. In the lan
guage of Mr. Conkling when be was
in a different frame of mind from that
now exhibited, "be stands utterly nak
ed of any species of recognition Irom
any department of the government or
from any representative of executive,
legislative and judicial power." On
the contrary, Nichols, who certifies
Mr. Hnofforil's election, haa b n in tbo
uninterrupted exorcise of Ihe executive
function from the day of bis inaugura
tion to the present moment. M r Pack
ard's certification is wortb no more
than the paper on which it ia written,
and but for the straits to which the
Republican party in tbe Senato is re
duced it would never have received
serious consideration. Sore as those
straits aro, howovor, and blindly par
tisan as the Senate has shown itself lo
ba in these latter days oi the extra ses
sion, we cannot believe that there will
not be found Republicans wbo will
unite with the Democrats in giving Mr.
Spofford the scat to which he was elec
ted and showing the Pinckston claim
ant that bis impertinonce is understood
as well by tbe Senale as by tha people
of the United States. If not, to much
the worse for the Republican party.
