a SUBSTITUTE FASHED IN TUE HOUSE.
Special DttpaUh to The tihteaao Tribune.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 23.—Tho House, af
ter spending another entlroMay on the Tax bill,
passed, by a very small majority, a sabstltnte
quite unlike tbo original bill presented by the
Committee. Xu the course of tbe afternoon tbe
bill became so loaded down with amendments
that it was evident tbnt it could not become a
law in tbo form in which it was reported to tbo
Hondo from tbo Committee of tbo Whole. Mr.
Dawes, seeing this, offered tbo substitute which
did pass. . Tbo vote upon the latter was 123 yeao
to 113 nays,—only 10 majority in a very
large vote. The substantial provisions of tbo
suiiiiituto ns it passed ate these: A tax of 00
cents per gallon is Imposed upon all distilled
spirits hereafter made, to bo paid by tbe distiller
upon removal of tbo spirits from tbo distillery
or tiio bonded warehouse. No tax whatever is
imposed upon whisky already on band. Tbe tax
oo tobacco is increased from 10 to 21 cents ; on
cigars to UG. Tboro Is an addition of 25
pur cent of tbo amount of tho present
tax on sugar ami molasses. Tbo
10 per centum horizontal duties aro
restored. Tbs bill is not to include goods on
shipboard on tbo 10th of February, or in bond at
the dato of tho change of tho act. Tbo Little
Tariff bill is coirectod so that no duty is to be
paid upon bolting-clotbs or stamps used in sav
ings-banks who conduct business simply ns
such. Tbe most important feature of tbo bill is
that tho entire stock of whisky is exempted from
further tax, and that, consequently, if the bill
becomes a law, the distillers and speculators
who own whisky will gain a not profit of 20 cents
a gallon.

A SUBSTITUTE.
Mr. Dawes theronpon jfrocoedod to address tbo
llouoo on tbo necessity of providing fur tbs de
ficit In tbo Treasury, nod spoke of tbo impoa«i
biltty of framing auy revenue bill that would
satisfy all sections and all interests. He referred
to tbo Income tax bo a tax which was not just
and proper In theory, but as one which had
proved objectionable in all countries where it
was tried, because it was promotivo of perjury
and demoralization. Believing that tbo nooossl
tios of tbo Government called on
Congress to poos some revenue measure
before adjournment, ho proposed to make one
moio effort in that direction ; and, if it (ailed,
then personally, and, as tho organ of tho Com
mittee on Ways and Means, ho should leal that
ho had discharged his whole duty in tbe prem
ises. Ho therefore offered as a substitute for
tho bill one taxing whisky, to bo hereafter made
90 cents a gallon, tobacco and sugar as in tho
amended bill, and restoring tbo 10 percent ou
manufactured goods, and on that ho moved the
previous question.
The previous question was seconded, and the
main question ordered—yean, 133; nays, 111.
Tbo substitute was agreed to—yeas, 131; nays,
The question then recurred on orderiugthe bill
to bo cugroflsed and read a third time, on which
he moved the prevloua question.
Mr. Niblack made a point of order that, under
the now rule, it would require a two-thirds ma
jority to Bccond the previous question on tho
first dav of this bill coming before tho House.
'lire Speaker sustained tho poiut of order and
defended tho propriety of tho new rule from tho
reflection made upon it by Mr. Niblack, by re
minding that gentleman that under tho old rule
one-fifth of tho members present could prevent
action on tho bill.
The previous question was seconded by tho
necessary two-thirds, and the hill was then
passed—yeas, 121; nays, 113.

Wabhisutox, D. U., Feb. 23.— 1n the Honoo
this morulug the majority report of tbs Louis
iaua Investigating Committee, signed by Messrs.
Foster, Phelps, Potter, and Marshall, was pre
sented. The following conclusions have boon
arrived at:
Tho undersigned, majority of Iba Committee on the
Slate of the South, respectfully report that they runout
oqroo to the report nude to the Committee liy Messrs.
Wheeler mid Fryo. The laws iuloticul to the colored
people of Louisiana, referred to in their report, have
been repealed for years. Except during tho schism of
Guv. Wi.rmoth, lu IHT2, the ItejiubUcun jairly baa long
bad control of lltemacuincry of the Stile. Tho hto
registration show* an excess of the colored over the
white voters, giving U0,7Hl colored to 7u,tf.13 white. In
the alieeaco of say direct evidence that the late
election was nut free and fair, tho atsumpUon
r.f the mluority, that enough colored votera must
therefore have been prevented from voting at (be lets
election ny the recollection of the Colfax and Conahat
ta killing" (the cause* and circumstances of which are
disputed}, end by other acts which occurred years be
fore, to have changed the result of the olertion
throughout the State, ia an Meumptloa w> violent,
when it is recollected that both those parishes denied
the full Kellogg ticket by increased Republican major
ities, im not to be received, if any other cause for the
vote of (he HUlo con be found. Hucb causes exist
aod uro obvious. Among them aro:
First— I TUo registration was incorrect, and exceeded
tbo true colored von*. The registration waa wholly in
tie ha Vo of the Koliocg cnriais, with whom a Repub
lican Committee, with United States Marshal I'ovk
aul at dioir head. co-oimnitud, la only
throi parishes did the Republican Supervisor*
of Registration make any complaint of unfair or in
uufilclt'ui registration. On tho other hand, very great
complaint was mado by the Conservatives, who speci
fied. wiih proof, I,‘ZOJ coses of conceded fais* registra
tion in Nuw Orleans alone, and those Conaervttlvt*
who had be.'u ro-op* ruing in tho Joint Tarty Com
mute) to BO 'iire fair registration gave up the effort in
derpttlr. Thu emeus ot 1870, the correctures of which
is not impeached, showed 87,070 whites and 88,813 col
ored melee over vl yean of age. AU the statistics and
evldetbe beioro us indicated no change in this propor
tion in lavor of tfce colored voters. Vet the
llou of tolored votera ezeeeded by 4,C00 the to'al
oura’.er of adult male* returned by tho census, while
tho registration of white votes was 10,000 Its*.
SeeinU— ’Hie whnJo uuiuusr of votes registered woe
107,007. Of thcae 118,(hte voted. Th*s Is a larger pro
portion of registered volet* than usually vote in any
of the Northern Suies. In an agricultural Btelc,
scantily nettled, where long Jonrueys had often to be
mado U> roach the ittlls, U Is unreasonable to suppose
that a greater proportion of tbo registered blacks
would have turned out to sustain tbs Government
uudgr which tho proopority of Bute and their wages
iuxl value of their sham of production had steadily
declined than usually vote at emotions North or Hoatiu
Th.rd— lß74 wss a year of pollll.al change, in which
the vote throughout all the Bute* was seriously affect
ed against the Republican party,—* change resulting
largely from financial distress of the people, and
which should therefore uuiurally have been wen
greater In Louisiana then elsewhere.
Fourth—lt became the luterest of the Conservative#,
at least at the last elecllou, not to Intimidate, but to
acquire by overy fair mesne the colored vole. Parties
who were alleged to have threatened the blacks even
with refusal of employment were subject
to prompt srrert. It was known that
pretexts would bo sought (0 deprive
the Conservatives of the reenlt, if they prevailed in the
election. It was therefor* their interest to ovoid giv
ing any such pretexts. Accordingly, they determined
everywhere to co-operate with and conciliate the
blocks. They voted down tho propositions or sugges
tions which were made in the early part of tho com
pain for a refusal to employ those colored voters who
would not co-operate with thorn, and generally sought
by combining with colored voters to cerry the elco
lion. Local combinations against the Kellogg candi
dates were made in many perishes by uica of all par
ties aod colors, In several porlsho* * Union ticket of
colored end CoaservsUve votes was voted for and elect
ed. An in tolilgcnt colored witness testified that ho ** de
sired Ixitter government," end to that end “ was willing
(0 swallow the white man If the while men would
swallow the colored." These causes aud feelings natu
rally united to aweli the Conservative vote in suehl>
calittea, as indicated by the returns.
>V(A—Th* entire want of any dlnet evidence to
■how any general iDUmklsilou <.f colored voters. Of
course, in so large a Bute it would be Impossible there
should bo no ineUoce of refusal to employ, or of in
timidation. Such occur in overy Stale; bat the evi
dence certainly Indicates no general intimidation of
colored voters, and that such intimidation as did exist
lathe State was rather in the interact of the itepuU
llotuathau of the Conservatives, United States Mar
shals, whose chief wss the Chairman of the
Itepnhllc&u Stele Committee, anut-d, m some cases,
with blink warranto of an oat, and sided by Federal
troops, made constant arrests before the election, but
not afterwards. The overnight of the election and nw
tnrua were in the hands of Oov. Kellogg’* officials.
Their account and return did chow W majority of
members of the Lower House, elected by the Conserva
tives, without any protest whatever, except in three
parishes, ellhouga it wss their province and duty to
proteat lu suy case where violence, and luthindall9U.or
mud exist*!. Indeed, the direct evidence av to the
election of 1874, as well as the cimuuuuucrc, clearly
ludicstea peaceable and fair election. In fret, after
tbo visit of the first commutes and revisit of the
special committee, .the Kellogg party with oil
their machinery for collecting evidence, were
unable to produce in the entire Bute more
then half-e-Uoica perwoos to testify to any
thing impeaching the n-eodorn and fatrov** of the
late election* who were tv>t utiicrholdcra or connected
with officeholders. Agelott such fact* it sretua to us
idle to assume tbit tho disturboux* so vividly pic
tured by the minority amid have kept up throughout
tbolr bUte such a fcehwg of lutlulldsuou ca would
justify the assumption that hut for (bat fediogihe
BLsie would have cone Republican. All experience
show* that the result of tbu election of 1874, in Louis
iana. as returned to the Re-turning lk*r<l, vaa natural
and to be easily accounted fur by the reasons wo have
Sven. We hold, therefore, ihut lu November, 1874,
e people of the Blato of Louisiana did fairly have a
free, peaceable, and full rcgUtrsllun aud election, la
which • cltar Conservative majority we* elected to the
Lower House of the Legislature, of which majority
the Conservative* were deprived by tbs unjust, Ille

Henan). Foster end Phelps think that the
popular belief, (eking both Conservative and
radical circles, inclines on the whole to Justify
Kellogg's claims, end that, as Kellogg is and has
boon acting Governor of Louisiana for the past
two jeers, to deny his right and install another
in hie place, after this lapse of time, might in
volve incalculable mischief to (he legal and
political Interests of the Htato.
The Committee conclude as follows:
To avoid mischief and the confusion nf a change,
the majority of the citizens of Louisiana stem willing
to aocopt, as a compromise, Kellogg's recognition and
the restoration to the Conservatives of Urn control of
the Lower House. For Iheit reasons. .M«urr. Foster
and Fhelpa do not wish to oppose the recommendation
that the administration of the Governor, Kellogg, be
recognized. Neither, in view of the fact that they
know nothing of Us merits as Judged by competent
evidence, do they wish to be understood ns
urging it. They only wish to accord Iht-lr ogre®,
ineut wllb thoto of their associates who be
lieve such a conference might, by making a ter
mination to tho uncertainty In Louisiana, be, ou the
wnole, less Intolenbla than the present situation of
tr.at distracted people, but to any resolution recog
nizing Kellogg, Messrs. Potter and Marshall ore utter
ly opposed. They bud nothing to Justify the belief
that Kellogg was elected; that he adzed tlio Govern
ment by the aid of the Federal Iroopv, through n void
and fraudulent order, which prevented tho counting
and returning of tho votes, should bo a standing pre
sumption against him. When (he people, outraged by
the abuses of bis Government, bad succesrfully re
gained the ofHee which lie bad usurped, he was again
reseated by tbo Federal jmwer through forms of
law by which he had Intrenched btmsolf. lie
once morn sought to nullify the choice of the
rooplo at the lata election, uiul to that oud called in
the Federal troops to break up the meeting of the
Legislature. For Conjnss to recognize a
so gross, so oppressive, I.*, they think, to establish a
precedent by which, uudcr.prctciU that can readily he
found, suy Htato Government may he overthrown, the
will of the people nullified, and fraud and violence
m*-do pormanuut, and republican forms perverted to
destroy liberty.
In their Judgment all that Is needed In Louisiana is
to withdraw the Federal Ircopa, and leave the people
of that State to govern themselves.

WAMirataTON, U. 0., Feb. 23.—Senator Scott,
of Pennsylvania, in a very spiteful and arrogant
speech upon tbo Pacific Mail subsidy, furnished
a curious illustration of tbo views which many
public men take on the results of tho Pacific
Mail investigation. He characterized tho ex
penditure of $750,000 hero by Irvin as a piece
of business idiocy, and said that, while editors,
correspondents, and bummers are putting tboir
arms up lo tboir elbows into this corruption
fund, the evidence showed that thus
far Congressmen are guiltless. This very
amusing and forced piece of special pleading
by which the recipients of tho Insignificant
remnant of that bribe money are assumed to have
received it ail, is common with many public
moo, and with nemo more than those to whom
suspicion points as bribo-takors.
A COMPAXION-I'IECa

typo of CongrcAsional moralitv, occurred in the
other House at tho same time. Ilat'aoru, the
proprietor of tbo great mineral spriug at Hara
toga, and Hepreeeutativo in from that
district, moved an amendment to tbo Tax bill,
proposing a very considerable (ax upon all Im
ported mineral water*, and tho House, withaverv
few dissenting votes, permitted tho amendment
to bo embodied ia the LIU. One Democratic
member hod tho courage to say that Hatbom
bad not tbo right to vote for cucli an amend
ment, as ha was personally Interested in tho
protection of bis mineral springs, but the House
did not entertain the objection, aod Hathorn
not only did vote, oat, la tho wildest excitement,
besought all bis personal friends to tout with
