The following debato took place In I
the Federal House of Representatives
on the subject of adlonrnment on the
)23dof July. It la Important as show
ing the object the Republicans have
In view In reassembling In Septem
ber, and what purpose they expect to
accomplish by arming the Negroes In
the South. It Lj confessed that the
Congressional usurpations, misnamed
reconstructed Governments, can not

of the bayonets. Read for yourselves:
tHS QUESTION OP ADJOURNMENT.
The Speaker presented th concur
rent resolution of the Senate for an
adjournment from Monday, the 27th
of July, to the third Monday in Sep
tember. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, said
that while the resolution did not meet
his concurrence, he believed it did
meet the concurrence of a majority ot
the ilouso. All the business would
be finished by Saturday, and the ses
sion would be continued until Mon
day only to have tills signed by the
President.
1 Mr. Upson (Disun,, Mhh.J-What
about the Tax bill?
k jur. wasnourne, or in. mo lax
bill 1 signed.
Upson The Tax bill is not signed.
Mr. Washburne I was Informed a
while ago by the gentleman from
Iowa (Mr. Allison) that the Tax bill
U signed.
Mr. Schenck, (Disun., O) Nobody
knows that It Is. The Commissioner
of,Tntcrnal Revenue was sent for to
read it over to the" Secretary of the
Treasury, and that has led to an in
ference that it has been signed.
Mr, Paine Disun., Wis.) objected
to the adjournment, saying that the
committee on Reconstruction had
directed a bill to be reported of the
utmost Importance to the States of
Texas, Virginia and Mississippi, and
J that it would be a crime for Congress
to adjourn before that bill was dispos-
Jedoi.
Mr. Washburne moved the previous
nuestion. savin? he would leave the
latter with the House.
MrSchneck asked whether mem
bers would be allowed to state the
condition of business.
Mr "Washburne yielded to Mr
Schenck, who caid that the Senate
had disagreed to the House amend
ments to the Funding bill, but had
not asked for a committee of Confer
ence. This had been explained by
the Chairman of the Finance commit
tee. He had no doubt that there waa
a desire existing that the House aho'd
ask for a committee of Conference,
and the committee on Ways A Means
WB3 considering whether it would not
make that motion. If there should
be a committee of Conference, that
would requiro a day ; then as to the
Tax bill, no man was authorized to
aay whether the message sent by the
President on Monday, that the Presl-
dent had signed the bill, was or was
not consistent with the fact. It cer
t&Inly had been a question ot consid
eration with the President whether,
on account of one of its provisions, he
would sign it or uot.
Mr Garfield opposed the resolution
on account of the necessity for passing
a Senate bill on the Speaker's table,
one section of which was ' of trans
cendant Importance. That the Sen
ate provide that the newly reconstruc
ted eovernments of Southern States
shall be furnished with arms, so that
the loyal people of those States may
protect themselves against the vio
lence and outrage of the rebels in
their midst. The United States troops
were being recalled from those States,
and unless some provision was made,
there would be no control over the
rebel element them.
Mr .Washburne Interrupted Mr Gar
field's remarks, savine he had not
notified him to make a speech
Mr Butler (Disun.. Moss.) said he
was opposed to any adjournment un
til measures were taken to make sure
that thev were not going into this
election In a sort of "heads I win
tails you lose principle,"
Mr Randall (Dera., Pa,) made the
point of order, that the Presidential
election was not the subject before the
House.
Mr Butler His side of it, I know,
Is not ; our side is, and I am speaking
of that
The Speaker sustained the point
order, and required Mr Butler to con
fine bis remarks to the question be
fore the House.
Mr Butler 1 am tryine to give the
reasons why we should not adjourn
and go home.
Mr Randall I think that you had
better go home ; you haye got glory
enough.
If r Butler It is quite certain that
you would have to stay a long time
before you could do that. Laughter.
I desire to say that until wo can ar
range matters here so that there can
be Bafety In the South, I am not for
going home; that is tho whole of it
We must take the best way to do that
nd It will take some little time
find out what that best way is. If by
furnishing arms to the reconstructed
governments, do m ; If by removing
the great obstacle to all xeace und
quiet In the country, let us stay heie
and do that, so our loyul friends
the South may not be murdered day
by day,
Mr Wood ("Democrat of New York)
said, as one of the minority - of this
House, as a party of tho country,
nothing would delight me more in
partisan sense?, than to see this Con
gress In perpetual session, The re
sponsibility is on the Republican par
ty of the country. So long as Con
gress) remain in session, the country
can have no iait. The people require
rest for the purpose of collecting their
judgment to be enunciated next No-
vember In the election of a candidate
for .the . Presidency. Why should
Congress meet again In September
agitate and to excite the people,
raise animosities, end to engender
hostility of races to prepare for
Presidential election and to involve
the whole country a second time
revolution and war is that the object
of the majority ? Do they see that
there Is no hope of electing their can
didate except .by a resort to violence
and force ? Is that the object ? I will
vote to adjourn Congress tine die, and
tberxlUe country will have rest and
the people peach.
Mr Washburne (111.) Let us look
at this matter practically- All
Appropriation bills have passed
House; the Tax bill has been
signed, and I have it Irom the most
reliable authority that we will not

Journment
Mr Spalding Have you had an
interview with him ?
Mr Washburne No sir ; but I have
It from reliable authority.
Mr Schenck What Is your author
ity?
Mr Washburne- The .authority is
good, and I can tell it to the gentle
man privately. The question is why
we should sit hero after Monday. In
deed I was told by Senators that il
we would now concur in the resolu
tion and send It back with an amend
ment to adjourn to-morrow or Satur
day, the Senate would accept that
amendment. Tho reason why the
Senate put it for Monday instead of
Friday was that it was not certain as
to the position of business in the
House.
Mr Paine (Disun., Wis,) inquired
whether that was the same authority
that he bad for his statement as to the
Prt-sident.
Mr. Washburne It was uot sir.
Mr Bingham, (Disun., Ohio) If we
wero now to concur In the Senate res
olution and a motion to reconsider
were entered, would not the matter
remain in theci ntrolof the House?
Mr Washburne As a matter of
course that would be the effect.
Mr Bingham Then why cannot
that be done for the protection of the
country and seo whether the bills to
be passed in the mealtime will be
returned by the President.either with
or without his approval?
Mr Washburne I do not know to
what the gentleman refers, or what Is
Intended to be done here. We have
aoue all the business required to be
done, or we can do it belore the ad
journment. There may be a design
to keep us here permanently. There
may be a design to enter again on the
Impeachment of the President, as has
been shadowed forth by the distin
guished Representative from Massa
chusetts, (Mr Butler). There may be
a design to chango all the Issues be
fore the country and to go into an
other impeachment trial, and keep us
here durinz the whole summer, tor
one, I am against it ; and I am almost
prepared to say that I am against the
bill which Is considered of so much
importance by the gentleman from
from Wisconsin, (Mr Paine). I do
not see any necessity for distributing
arms to every State in tho Union
Mr. Stokes (D'wun., Tenn.) I de
sire to have read at the Clerk's desk
a letter which I received this morn-
Inc from the Adjutant General of
Tennessee.
Mr Wood I object.
Mr. Stokes I make the letter a part
of my speech.
The Speaker sustRined the point of
order on the ground that the Adju
tant-General of Tennessee could not
determine as to whether Congress
should adjourn
Mr. Stokes said : I oppose the ad-
journmei.t of Congress until Decern
ber. I am in favor of taking a recess
whenever the business will justify us
in doing so, but we are in a condition
of things to-dsy in Tennessee and
other Southern States which does not
justify us iu taking a recess ; and I
say to the . gentleman from Illinois,
and to this House, ihat if Congress
adjourns without appropriating arms
to the Union men in the South to
protect themselves against the Ku-Klux-Klans,
these rebels that are
already armed and organized will in
timidate the Union men, and th6
colored men will not be permitted to
go to tne pons. ine war-cry nos
gone forth, and the rebels now swear
that they will vote at the election
next November regardless of the
Constitution or the law.
Mr. Randall raised the question of
order that the subject before the
House had nothing to do with the
Ku-Klux-Klan at all.
The Speaker ruled that while it is
not in order, on a resolution for an ad
journment, to discuss bills pending
before the House, or to discuss an elec
tion that is to occur, it is in order for
any gentlemen to state his opinion as
to tho condition of the country, and
whether it is wise or unwise to ad
jo urn.
Mr. Stokes said he would send up
paper to be read at the Clerk's desk.
The Speaker stated that what tb
gentleman proposed to read, as the
opinion of some other person, was not
in order on this subject.
Mr. Stokes said he wished to have
it read, as a fact, to show the condi
tion of things in Tennessee, and to
show that Congress ought not to ad
journ until certain things were done.
Mr. Jones IDeui., Ivy.) objected to
the reading of the paper.
Mr. Stokes Then 1 will express
my own opinion, and my own opin
ion Is that facts, which 1 am in pos
session of, show that unless the people
have arms in the Southern States tho
Uuion men, white and black, will be
overrun; and I say it is the duty
Congress to stay hero until th meas
ure is put through. My people are
expecting every . moment that lor
rest and his rebel Democratic crew
ill commence making war upon
them l We were entitled to ten thou
sand stand of arms in my district, and
the requisition; was made for that
number by tho Governor, but only
two thousand stand were furnished;
and we to-day demand the other eight
thousand stand of arms. This is
matter of life and death to us. 1 am
satisfied of the fact that we will need
these arms at the South at a very
early day. The war-cry has gone
forth ; tho rebels eay they will rule
the country, or exterminate the eo!
ored Union men, and for one, 1 am
dicposed to meet them.
Mr. Trimble (Dem. Ky.,) asked
Mr. Washburne to yield to him for
two minutes.
Mr. Washburne declined to do so,
saying that the ; House could vote
down the previous question if it chose
to do so. He had one word, however,
to say in reply to the gentleman from
Tennessee. I have no doubt, he said,
of the grievons and perilous state
things which exist in the South, and
which the gentleman from Tennessee
refers to, but the question is, and
one of the greatest Importance ever
thrust upon us, whether that state
things is to be remedied by tending
arms Into those States? Sir, I be
lieve that In most of tho States, not
ten days after those -arms are sent
there to tho negroes they will be
the Wands of the rebels.
Mr. Stokes, in reply to the lost re
mark said, that in his district they
had already drawn two thousand
bland of arms, and none of them had
got into the hands of the rebels.
Mr. Washburne I do not know
whether that is so in Tennessee. I

citement in those States. I now yield
to the venerable gentleman from
North Carolina Mr. Boyden, who
wishes to say a few words, and asks
the attention of the House to what ho
shall say.
Mr. Boydeu rose to speak from his
seat on tho Democratic side.
Mr. Washburne suggested that the
gentleman from North Carolinashould
come nearer to the centre of the House
whero he could be heard.
Mr. Higby Disunion of California
insisted that he should keep his place,
and that tho House should bo brought
to order.
Mr. Ward (Disunion, of New York
suggested that it would be novel to
have some little talk on that side of
the House.
Mr. Boydeu Mr. Speaker, I am
alarmed at the condition of the coun
try. It Is proposed to send arms to
North Carolina, that the people may
use them against each other. Gieat
God ! we cannot afford to light each
other. Keep away your arms! Do
nothing to irritate our people, but do
everything in your power to assuage
and heal the excitement there. Wo
want no arms. 1 warn the House
that If arms are sent there we will be
ruined; wo cannot live there. If we
need anything iu the way of arms, in
God's name seud an army of. the Uni
ted States there, but do not arm neigh
bor against neighbor. There never
was a more mischievous measure than
this proposition to arm one class of
our people against another.
Mr. Boutwell (Disun., Mass, rose
to a uoint ot order that the gentleman
from North Carolina was discussing a
subject not lcforo the House."
The Speaker sustained the point of
order.
Mr. Washburne insisted ujou tho
previous question. Iho vote was
taken by tellers and the previous
question was seconded ayea, 81 ; nays
G7.
The yeas and nays were then taken
upon ordering the main question, and
resulted ayes, SO; nays. SI. So the
main question was not ordered.
Mr. Pile (Dis., Mo.) then moved to
reconsider tho vote by which the pre
vious question had been seconded,
Ou a vote by tellers it stood ayes, C3;
nays, W. The Speaker voted in the
otfirmative, and the vote upon sec.
onding the previous question was re
considered,
Mr. Washburne then withdrew the
previous question in order to allow
Mr. Schenck to offer an amendment,
Mr. Schenck moved to amend the
resolution by substituting lor tne
third Monday in September, at which
the recess was to expire, the 14th day
of October. He said that lie desired
that the meeting should bo as soon as
practicable after the elections in three
of the large States Pennsylvania.
Indiana and Ohio. If Congress should
meet on the third Monday in Septein
ber, and a quorum of both Houses
should not then appear, there would
have to be an adjournment to the first
Monday in December. If there were
any purpose of minchief or any devel
opment of a spirit of violence in those
States where it was apprehended it
would be manifested, that spirit
might very cosily be suppressed in a
degree from motives of policy, and the
hand might not be shown until after
the 20th of September. If all were
quiet and went on smoothly until the
20th of September, there would not be
a quorum of Congress, on that day,
and, then, after an adjournment, Con
gress would be paralyzed from that
time until it meet in December. If,
however the meeting of Co.igress was
postponed until the middle ot Octo
ber, and until after two or three of
the most important elections had (a
ken place, there would, by that time,
have been developed the purpose and
temper of the South. If there were
any manifestations of mischief or vio
lence on the part of the people of the
South, the loyal people of the country
would require their Representatives
and Senators to be in session. For
these reasons he hoped, if there were
to be a recess, that it should be pro
longed until the 14th of October.
Mr. Wood desired to ask tho gen
tleman from Ohio what Congress had
to do with the elections in Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Indiana?
Mr. Schenck replied that it had
do with these elections as facts.
had to do with them, in this instance,
as connected with dates. It would
inconvenient for members to come
from three of the largest States just
on tho eve of an electiou.
Mr. Wood understood the gentle
man from Ohio to say that in case
there were any indications in these
States ot a turbulent spirit, then peo
ple would demand of their represen
tatives to meet in October. He de
sired to know of him for what object
should Congress convene with refer
ence to an election in these States ?
Mr. Schenck Do you mean in the
Southern States?
Mr. Wood No, sir ; in those three
SUtes you spoke of.
Mr. Schenck I have not been talk
ing about it in that connection at
the gentleman knows very well what
I was alluding to.
Mr. Wood The gentleman has an
other motive.
Mr. Schenck It is the gentleman's
friends, tho Ku-Klux-Klan, In the
Southern States that we are preparing
for.
iMr. v ood l he gentleman is
revolutionist, and he acts from revo
lulionary motives. '
Mr. Schenck We do not need this
thing la Ohio; we can take care of
"hybrid" party there.
Mr. Wood The people of Ohio will
take care of you.
Mr. Schenck That party will
taken care of in all these States I have
mentioned. My reference to these
States was as a matter of consequence
in relation to the meeting of Congress.
Mr. Washburne next yielded
floor to Mr. Deweese tN. C), who
commenced speaking far back on
Republican side of the House. The
excitement Which had prevailed
throughout the discussion seemed
be on the increase, and it was sugges
ted that Mr. Deweese, who could
be distinctly heard from where he was
speaking, should speak from
Clerk's desk.
Mr. Deweese having complied with
that suggestion, addressed the House
against adjournment. Some provis
Ions should bo made for the, new gov
ernments of the Southern States and
for the protection of the loyal people,
Otherwise the rebellion would be
the letter of Mr.. Blair
would be carried out. If Congress ad-
loomed now,, before six months the
last traces of republican government
in the South would have ceased toex
ist and the Ku-Klux-Klan, the iebels,
the slaveholding, copperhead Demo
cratic party would bo ruling there as
they ruled in 1SG5.
Mr. Brooks clapped his hands In
admiration of the speech, which was
much enjoyed on the Democratic aid
of the House.
Mr. Woodward (Dem., Pa.) inquir
ed of Mr. Deweese whether the recon
structed governments in the South
could be maintained in any other way
than by the bayonet ?
Mr. Deweese We can If you will
give U3 arms to keep down the rebels.
Triumphant laughter on the Demo
cratic side), and by no other means.
Mr. Woodward Then as I under
stand the gentleman, the governments
which this Congress has leen at such
great pains to reconstruct can only ex
ist by the bayonet ?
Mr. Deweese The gentleman's par
ty in 18GI stole the arms that belonged
to theGovernmont of the United States
to shoot your loyal neighbors' sons,
and tho guns are still in the hands of
tho slaveholding Democratic party."
Mr. Jones (Democrat, Ky.) asked
whether tho militia and all the arms
in North Carolina were not under the
control of the Governor and the Leg
islature of that State, as now consti
tuted?
Mr. Doweese No, sir. We have
no militia.
Mr. Jones It is your own fault.
Mr. Deweese Under the rule of the
Democratic party, from 1SG1 to 18(15,
every musket, shot-gun and horse;
pistol was taken out of the hands of
loyal men and put in the hands of
Southern sympathizers. The support
given to this question of adjournment
on the side of the House where I oc
cupy a seat is for tho purpose ot carry
ing out the 3d of July letter, "stamp
ing out the bogus State governments
and dispersing the United States car

crats.) If you want to sustain those.
governments you have got to give us
some assistance.
Mr. Ross Dem., of 111. is there not
some danger of the Republicans los
ing the election there unless they get
arms?
Mr. Kelley Disunion, of Pa. Is
there not more danger of Republi
cans, white and black, losintr their
lives?
Mr. Deweese, replying to Mr. Kel-
ley's question There certainly is if
you allow the Democrats any show at
all.
Mr. Randail They would le able
to get under a bench as my colleague
did at Mobile. fThis remark anna-
rently did not reach the ear of Mr.
Kelley.
Mr. Schenck closed the debate, and
moved two amendments to the Sen
ate resolution first, that the adjourn
ment take place on Friday, the 31st
inst.; and other that the recess con
tinue till the 19th of October.
The amendments were both rejected
the vote on the first being yeas 66,
nays 92, and on the second there being
no division.
The Senate resolution was then con
curred in yeas 85, nays 69.

The Radical press are finding fault villi
General Blair because he was nominated, as
they say, by AVado nampton and other ex-
rebcls in the National Convention. lie was
nominated previously by twenty-two hun
dred soldiers and sailors o the New York
Convention, aud his acceptance by the cx-
Confederate was only a compliment whicn
they paid to the good sense and discrimina
tion of their old Federal opponents in arms.
General Blair selection was the selection
purely of the Federal soldiers, and not of
the Confederates. Tho liadicals urge against
him that he was once a Rennhlican
and favored the tenets of their party ; how
much greater the crime to have anything to
do with it now. when there is so much more
important matter to agitate and discuss
among the people t His family, too, are
made the subjects of opprobrium. When
they were supposed to be Republicans there
was no honor too high to be paid them.
is not a family that ever had much office.
Francis P. Blair, the father, .was a printer
by trade, and held the position of Public
Printer during the tweive years' administra
tion of Jackson aud Tan Buren, and never
held any public office whatever. Neither
did his son, Montgomery Blair, unless the
office of Postmaster-general be placed
that category. Surely it can not be much
a stigma to belong to a family with such an
tecedents with such purity of intention and
political fidelity. The Democracy are satis
fied with Seymour and Blair.. They were
their second choice, and the November elec
tion will prove .that they were their first
choice, and we shall hare, in all its depart
ments, a purely Democratic administration.
