A DANGER TO THE NATION.
:
Ect. Joseph Cook Tells flow, Under
the Kew House Bales,
THIS EVIL MAY BE REMEDIED
Bev. Joseph Cook thinks the new code oi
House rules constitutional. He belie tes
that under them Congress might, if it would,
largely correct abuses.of election privileges.
He points out many possible political perils,
present and. to come.
ISrECIai. TELEGRAM to the dispatch.
Boston, February 17. Bev. Joseph Cook
delivered his third prelude and lecture to
day, and his remarks elicited more applause
tban at any previous time. The prelude
tras an minority rule in Congress. In it the
speaker said:
Pro!. Brice says that so assembly in modern
times can have power unlets it is representa
tive All tbe authority of the Speaker comes
from the House, and that of the House comes
Stem the people. W e have on this continent
noslavo and no King. I do not fear that the
government of the people, for the people and
by the people is to become a Government of the
people by the SpeaVer and for the Speaker.
Sat it is important that the Speaker should be
governed by a set of rules that the people un
derstand and approve and will support. When,
a rule of procedure is nnder discussion ire
ought to examine the proposed reform as ire
should a proposed constitutional amendment.
THE BULES ANALTZED.
What are the rules proposed? First, mem
bers must vote unless they.ba.ve a pecuniary in
terest in the question at issue. Second, the
dicnlty of the House and rights of members are
given precedence over every question, except a
motion to adjourn. Third. 1U0 shall constitute
a quorum in the committee of the whole
House. Fourth, members present, but not
voting, may be counted as a part of the quorum.
Fifth, no dilatory motion shall be entertained
by the Speaker.
On the last two rules the debate principally
turns. A few remarks need be made. First
This new code is revolutionary. It has been
the interpretation of. Congress tbat the number
presentis to be ascertained Dy a roll call; if a
member does not allow bis name to be reported
on the call he is constructively absent. There
may be a visible quorum, but not a constitu
tional quorum. But it aopears to be a self-contradiction
tbat a man may be present for ob
struction and not present for business. Tbo
changes produced in the new code do revolu
tionize the proceedincs of Congress. Second
The new code, though contrary to precedent is
not contrary to lesral decisions. Such a de
cision was given by Cbief Justice Doe In the
btsteof liew Hampshire, in which all the
other Justices concurred.
CLEABXT CONSTITUTIONAL.
The chief force of the arguments of the op.
ponents of Reed has been in the citation of the
opinions of eminent Republicans. But it is
sfirmed by every friend of the new code that it
is legal, according to recent decisions and not
contrary to high judicial precedents. Third
It is not contrary t the practice of several of
the State Legislatures. Fourth It Is thor
oughly in accordance with the practice of the
British Parliament. You can send out "whips,"
bring in a quorum, and so do business. Fifth
The new code is certainly constitutional. The
Constitution says that a majority of each
House shall be a quorum, but not '-present and
voting" It has been said that the Constitu
tion does provide tor the roll call in certain
cases, bnt how is the roll call to be ordered by
"one-fifth of a quorum," unless the Speaker
has ocular proof tnat ibe quorum is present to
furnish its fifth. Sixth The new rules im
mensely facilitate business.
What is-the great matter at stake In this de
bate? Contested election cases. Twenty-sevdn
districts In the South send representatives to
Congress, in which districts it is notorious that
there is nojmajority of Democratic votes; these
17 counties balance 27 Northern Representa
tives. Congress will not lie down forever un
der this gigantic fraud.
A TIME FOR KEFOEM.
IT ow Is the time to weed ont fraudulent Rep
resentatives, when the Republican party has a
majority in both houses, as well as the Presi
dent. Southerners have threatened to dead
lock Congress for a year, and under the old
code they might have done it; but under tho
new rules dilatory motions will not be enter
tained. Seventh. This new code fastens
responsibility on majorities, and does not in
vade the rights of minorities. The Speaker
lias placed in his bands no more power than is
necessary to expedite business and fix respon
sibility on the majority. We are governed in this
country by Congressional committees.and cau
cuses; in England the Government is parlia
mentary, not Congressional. Both systems are
representative. Some think wj should adopt
the English plan. Reed's committees do not
make sneh. reports, and all Republicans ap
prove. As Brice says, the system of commit
tees undermines the value of debate. The
American system does not develop men like
Gladstone and Bright. Our American diffi
culty is to fix responsibility for mischief; in
seeking to do this we are led back to a commit
tee, and there we are lost. With the new
powers given to the Speaker the majority is re
sponsible for his decisions.
THE TEST OP A GOOD BULE.
You make debate more important on the
targe floor of the House, and do more to bring
out leaders and to counteract petty schemes
that do great injury, and so fix responsibility
more clearly because power is moro largely
ebneentrated. But we should see clearly tbat
the rights ot the minorities are regarded. This
protection to minorities is one of the promi
nent features of our American institutions; the
basis of representation in the Senate cannot be
changed if little Rhode Island objects.
Yon give one-third of the Senate power to
break up treaty arrangements whicn foreign
Governments have made "with our Cabinet.
One-third of the States can block the most nec
essary amendment to the Constitution, and this
principle extends to the State Legislature as
well. A President can veto a bill and thus
block Congress, unless the bill is carried over
bis head by a very large vote.
Now these new rules are not likely to trample
on any State or party. The two tests of a good
rule are that it shall work well both ways and
tbat it shall be constitutional. I believe the
Tnlesar constitutional. The new code will
work well under the Republican party; but the
supreme test will be when it conies into the
bands of the Democrats. May the better man
win.
BAXLOT BEFOEM A NECESSITY.
After prayer by the distinguished evan
gelist, Hunhall, in which he gave thanks
that ffce lecturer "had a backbone, and that
it was In the right place," the lecture fol
lowed, its subject being "Ballot Reform,
State and National." The lecturer said:
When faith in f airplay elections is lost the
only alternative is an appeal to arms. If the
path to political preferment is to lead often in
this country through bribery, force and fraud,
- It is not too much to say that tree government
is a farce and its future likely to be a tragedy.
Hallow or bullets whichT This is tbo central
question. This country das 20 per cent more
arable land than China. Therefore, we can
maintain a large a population. We are the
wealthiest nation on the globe to-day. Now
the wider and deeper you make the national
grab-bag the greater the temptation to greed
and fraud, and the mora necessity for ballot
reform and for conscientiousness in the ad
ministration of elections. .
" DANGEROUS BOCKS AHEAD.
Several facts in recent American politics
illustrate the need of greatly enlarged at
tention to methods for securing purity of the
ballot box. First Each of the great national
parties accuses the other of having recently
seated a President by fraud. The Republican
platform of 1SSS says the Democratic party
owes its power to a criminal nullification of na
tional Ian s to protect the purity of elections.
If this set of facts were the only indication that
rocks are ahead we should do well to look out.
Two hundred millions or three hunared millions
of people are soon going to lire in this country;
the prizes are therefore rapidly increasing in
value and make insane political tricksters and
dlzzr statesmen. Second Eight millions of
blacks In the Sonth are denied their political
right guaranteed to them by the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments of the Constitu
tion. This fact, taken alone, ought to be
enough to. bring us to pause for long reflection.
We are so accustomed to this state of things
that our indifference is one of the perils of tho
tlu.e. Wb have given our note ot band to set
the slaves free and give them their rights, and
then have exclaimed: "Thank God, tbat mat
ter u settled." But it is evident that matter is
if OT SETTLED TET.
W withdrew the military from the South, I
and for compulsory reconstruction we substi
tuted voluntary reconstruction; and this has
ended by the elimination of the votes of the
blacks where there is danger that the black
vote will be in the majority. The Bonth makes
no apology for doing this. It tramples on the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments with
the most haughty spirit of nullification. If re
construction is to be committed to rebels, it
may end in another rebellion. Bnt if the in
difference of the North is broken np. I believe
we shall cease to be Insulted by sporadic scoun
drels. Third The period of voluntary reconstruc
tion is ended by Mississippi asking for the re
peal of tbesa two amendments.
Fourth It is evident that the emancipation
of the black man wounded the Booth less than
bis enfranchisement did. No Southern white
man now claims to own a black man, but
Southern white parties in politics claim to own
the black Tote, and to do with it what they
please. It is no longer individual slavery, bnt
a kind of collective slavery.
Fifth There will bs. at the close of tho
century, 15,000,000 of colored men at the South
and 60,000,000 not much later; so that the ques
tion ot the colored vote will have prodigious
significance as time advances.
Sixth Before the abolition of slavery and
the passage of the two admendments, the
Southern basis of representation consisted of
the white population and of three-fifths of the
slave population, so that the Southern voter
had more power than the Northern. But now
it is proposed to use. the negroes as mere
counters. The Southern white voter now
stands on the whole black vote.
A QUESTION OF ENDURANCE.
How long will the ex-Federal soldier consent
to find himself outweighed by an ex-Confederate
soldier with a negro in each pocketT Not
long, if justice is done. Not long, if we have
the spirit our fathers. The black vaulting
block is the huge object of offense to-day.
Seventh The negro population is growing so
rapidly that in ten years it will be In the major
ity in eight States of the Union, while to-day it
is in three. Eighth Illiteracy is on the in
crease in both North and South, as Senator
Blair has shown. In IS States of this Union
more than 40 per cent of the population wyer 10
vears of are cannot read nor write. But in
sbme places more blacks tban whites can read
ana write, southern rumans, Dy wnom x uo not
mean the Southern people for there is a new
South and an enlightened South lock hands
with Northern city slums in leaping from the
negro's back into the political saddle.
What I fear in the Southern problem is the
black belt of States, from the mouth of the Po
tomac to the mouth of the Mississippi. The
Republican party lags behind the people and
behind its own pledge. There are eight Com
monwealths in which the blacks are largely
disfranchised. It is said that nothing can be,
done: that prejudice against color can be dis
pelled only by time.
HOW TO EEMEDT THE EVIL.
When Mr. Grady, the Southern orator, made
his speech before a Boston audience recently
he said tbat the South will find means to
nullify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments even if yon should fill every Southern
city with soldiers. Boston cheered that speech,
but Boston onght not to cheer treason. Noth
ing but good about the dead that irator is
now in his grave but his principles are not in
their crave. The slaves of to-day are those
who cheer such treasonable sentiments as
.those expressed in Mr. Grady's speech.
wuai. luen. is pracucaDie auu Duseiuier
First, it is possible to eliminate fraudulent
representatives from Congress, by the vote of
that body itself. Congress is under the control
of the Republican party, and has fought a pre
liminary battle which has issued in this new
code of rules. With this new weapon in its
hands I believe the partv will succeed in elimi
nating fraudulent representatives. But. If
cowed and overawed in the presence of South
ern savageryit does not fulfill its mission at this
point, the people ought to send the party back
out of power. I love the South, and revere its
manhood and womanhood. I have made no
sweeping charges. The old slave code gave
liberty to certain abuses that never were al
lowed in the North, and this has so lowered the
standard, in certain quarters, that in certain
elements of Southern society a double
family, with a white man at the head of each
part, does not attract enough attention to se
cure social ostracism.
LADYLIKE NEOKO WOMEN.
Slavery was the sum ot abominations: it was
the upas tree, torn away indeed, but its roots
still in the soil, and it is time that there should
be excavation of the roots of this upas tree.
The average negro is no more African than the
average American is a European. The negro
has been developed here, as we have, and, like
ourselves, he is a new type. I see negro ladies
in Louisville and Nashville who are queenly,
and who might readily be mistaken for white
ladies if they were veiled. A sense ot refine
ment is in many of them.
But is the negro a coward T I do not want an in
surrection, but I do wish he would show a little
more spirit; a little energy. I do commend
the colored race, and my motto for him would
be, "Evangelize, economize, energize, but do
not emigrate. Second It is possible to super
intend national elections and to secure their
constitutionality. Third It is possible to se
cure to every State a republican form of gov
ernment. Is it republican when the colored
vote is not counted? Fourth It is possible to
provide for citizens of the nation everywhere
at home as much protection as the flag gives
them abroad.
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES WANTED.
The Indiana mechanic, who had a Southern
horsewhipping for accidentally letting down
the efflgy of Proctor for which conduct only
an unhandsome apology was secured repre
sents Massachusetts, every State and the dig
nity of the nation. It is time for the Northern
lightnings to flame forth, not as they did in the
Civil War, but for the Northern thunders to
growl all along the horizon. We must show
that tho North is a Hon, and that the lion is
alive. Fifth There should be Congressional
committees of inquiry into some things. Sixth
It is Impossible to give financial aid to educa
tion. Seventh Provide an educational test for
the suffrage, both North and Sonth. Eighth
Christianity is the only effective solution of the
problem of self-government. If the South is to
attract immigrants it must out down fraud at
the ballot box and teach yie young Southern
idea how not to shoot. It is time to rouse our
selves when the condition of the Sonth is such
that Northern immigration does not set toward
tho Gulf.
An aggravating sore throat is soon re
lieved by Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant, an
old-time remedy for bronchial and pul
monary affections.

SPEECH OF JOHN H. -BAILEY.
The Dembcratlc Nominee's Incendiary Ut
terances Abont Father Abraham.
, The Republican City Committee will for
feit $5,000 to any charitable institution the
Democratic Committee will name if the fol
lowing is not a correct report of Bailev's
speech on Nov. 4, 1864, as published in the
Pittsburg Post ot Nov. 5, 1864 The speech
is as follows:
Mr. J. H. Bailey next took the platform
and thanked the Democracy of Allegheny
county, on the part of the Democratic
County Committee, for having sustained
them so well in their labors for the Demo
cratic cause. He likewise returned the
thanks of the committee to the different
ward organizations, with whose, agency this
campaign was rendered a triumphant suc
cess, so that the party of abolitionism never
be ore met such a strong resistance.
Cheers. The State Central Com
mittee and the National Com
mittee were also expressive of their
thanks to the Democracy of Allegheny
county for what we performed during the
campaign, enlightening by onr labors this
dark hole of abolitionism. Having made
these few announcements he delivered one
of the ablest and most telling addresses ot
the evening. He stated that the political
contest is about to close and we are the jury
in this case. The results of our verdict are
momentous and require that we should pay
all due attention to them. The different
speakers of either party are the advocates.
A new species of advocates have been intro
duced of late. The preacher comes out to
make political speeches day and night, and
are turning politicians even in the pulpit.
He here brought up the parable in the gos
pel of the master who invited several guests
to the feast, but tbey declined, and he be
lieved that those preachers would leave the
holy supper to attend political meetings.
They come to tell us our duty in regard to
the negro, as they have nothingelse to think
about Negroes are good enough in their
place, but they must not be placed on
the same standing with the white men.
Cries of "No, no." President Lin
coln is now on trial; yon know him
and have felt him. They say that
the pocket nerve is a very delicate one, and
you have often felt Mr. Lincoln in your
pockets, but if he be re-elected to rule over
us for four years more, we will have no
pocket nerve to feel him with. Loud cheers
and laughter. But the President main
tained that he should not be put ont of
office we should not swap horses In crossing
a stream. He properly characterizes him
self when he calls himself a horse. Laugh
ter. And we are sick of this horse
administration. Renewed laughter and
cheers. But we have nominated a
man lor the Presidency a real man,
not bearing any 'resemblance to a horse.
Cheers and laughter. This horse, in leav
ing Springfield, said he wanted the people
to pray for him, and he needed it, and by
that means he showed his humility, but
Bince that time he has become proud and
overbearing. Even before he arrived at
Washington, he declared himself tne repre
sentative of the people,and shortly afterward
the representative of the majesty of the peo
ple. Laughter. He then spoke of the
Presideut's tortuous route to Washington.
Since his nomination, Lincoln has kept on
making his speeches, and directs the actions
of every man, according to his own way, and
when his .plan, proves a failure, he
always finds somebody who will
bear the responsibility. He made
General Burnside appear before
the people with a lie in hif, mouth. General
Grant, who, to say the least, is abetter Gen
eral than Lincoln, knew that if he would
not adopt the President's plan in making a
move on Kicbmond, he would not be sup
plied witfl a sufficient number of men to pre
vent disaster. When any disaster occurs,
he provides himself with an answer, and
publishes his own and a letter of General
Grant to shove the responsibility from his
own shoulders. Yet this is the man they
wish to elect President
He has not permitted us to knowthe truth
during this war, and he would not hesitate
to say that the last movement of General
Grant on Richmond was more than a re
connoissance. The fast is, Lincoln wasted
to make political capital by taking Rich
mond previous to tne election. He next
spoke of the displays which the Republi
cans make in this city, and stated that the
procession which they held a ter evenings
ago,, was a miserable failure. The Demo
cratic procession in the little town
of Clifton wrb only five minutes
less in passing a given point, which shows
that It nearly equaled, in point of nnmbers,
the abolition procession ot Thursday night.
In the procession which came off at Clinton,
he noticed a very appropriate transparency.
On one side was represented Abraham Lin
coln with his foot on the Constitution, and
on the reverse was General McClellan, with
the Goddess of Liberty presenting him the
safeguard of the Constitution. Owing to
the lateness of the hour, and the press ot
other prominent speakers who were present,
the gentleman here resumed his seat amidst
thunders of applause.
