Mr. THURMAN reviewed the objectionable featuret of the bill let detail. characteriring it as a bill to create a race of common in formers,, and pay them in hard cosh for per jury. Referring to the calling out of land and naval forces by order of the President. he said In England it was n punishable offence to have troops of the realm within one mile of the polls. but under this law we wore to have United Stated troops surrounding every polling booth, and seeing that judges of elec tions discharged their (buy.

The great mom of the people booth might emerge from , their escheat prejudices and come up to the standard-of Anterkan nationality. He said the removal of political disablaties had been asked for 'Republican Conventions in all recOnstmeted Kates. and the success of the gapolican party South tans mainly dependent upon the (net. Mr. MORTON., replying to the remark by 311. Ferry. thnt the National flag was now honored In every part of the country. !lag o, men whom it was now 'proposed to relieve would neverlionor the flag.

Mr. WARNEIt thought the best Interests of. the South could he secured by the ascend:weer of the Republican party.
