DEBATE ON LOUISIANA IN THE U. 8.
SENATE.
Mr. Carpenter said the Caldwell ease
could be considered in the extra session.
But this Congress ought not to adjourn
without taking some action on the bill
in reference to Louisiana reported from
the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions. It was very evident that if Con
gress adjourned without action there
would be imminent danger of blood
shed. In that State there was now a
government de facto so-called, based
upon no valid election, standing there
with no support but Federal bayonets;
and if Congress should adjourn without
making provision for the difficulty, one
of two things must happen-either
there would be a conflict between the 1
two governments, or else the President
must continue to give the support of I
Federal troops to the government
which has been set up by their aid. It I
would hardly do for Congress to adjourn
and leave the government of Louisiana 1
to be upheld by Federal bayonets c
through the summer, and listen to the I
euphonious criticisms which would be
heard from one end of the country to
the other. The atmosphere around the
Capitol was alittle feverish now on the
subject of investigations, and it might 1
be thought that the Senate should not i
be behind the other branch of Congress
in purging itself; and if it should hap
pen to get hold of the wrong man that I
would probably be regarded as ineiden- I
tal,to the great question of purging. It 1
might be well, therefore, to put off that
case till the December session.
Mr. Morton-I think the Senator from
WVisconsin might have deferred his ar
gument on the Caldwell ease until that I
ease should be properly before the J
Senate. This bill which he urges us to
tako up is a bill for the reconstruction J
of Louisiana, a bill involving such vast
considerations that I think I am justi- I
lied in saying that the Senator knows I
it cannot be passed through this body C
alone this session, not to speank of the (
other house. i
M[r. Carpenter said that lie and Mr. r
Morton had oftelon helped to pass bills a
of as great impnlortance as this by sitting (1
a little late on the morning succeeding ¬
the beginning of the discussion. c
DMr. Morton did not concur in this a
opinion. lie thought this was a bill I
involving more difficult questions than s
any that were involved in the recon- c
struction of the rebellious States. In t
reference to the Kellogg government 11
being upheld by Federal bayonets, he
said that there was not now a single I
bayonet sustaining that government. I
Troops had been called in at one time, a
but there were none now there except (1
a small garrison, which has been there f
constantly, and has nothing to do with !
supporting the State government.- Il
There is now in Louisiana a State a
government in undisturbed operation It
in every part of the State, and that U
government will run its course for the i
next two years unless its power be v
taken away by Congress. I
Mr. 'Thernan raised the point that 1
the discussion or the Louisiana case and I
the Caldwell case was hleo in order. If 1:
the Louisiana matter was to be di:-cus
sed he wished to take his share of the f
time. c
MIr. Morton said the point was very c
good, but it ought to have been made a
when Mr. Carpenter began the discus- I
sion. a
Mr. Trumbull said it would be very I
unfair to stop the discussion at this
time without allowing some reply to Il
be made to the remarks just dropped I
by the Senators from Indiana and \Vis- I
consin, and he was proceeding to reply c
when Mr. Sherman called hin to order. d
The Chair (Mr. Edmunds) overruled t
the point of order. The question before a
the Senate was an amendment to the c
agricultural college bill, and he could I
not say whether Senators did not mean I
to connect their remarks with that '1
subject. [Laughter.] c
Mr. Trumbull said it ought to be in I
order to ascertain whether we have I
States in the Union before appropriat- I
ing money or land to build colleges for I
them. iHe agreed with Mr. Carpenter, c
and with a majority of the committee, I
that a government had been set up in
Louisiana by the usurped authority of c
a United States district judge, and this c
government so set up had been sustain
ed by Federal troops ordered there by c
the President. The committee had I
concluded that Durell's action was ut- 1
terly void and without authority, and I
entitled to no respect, yet the President
had recognized and sustained it. 1le i
did not agree with Mr. Carpenter that I
the Prcsident was blameless in the 1
matter.
Mr. Carpenter said the President was I
obliged to renmain in Washington at- I
tending to his duties, and whenl lie was
informed by "a telegraml , as in this case,
that a Federal court had rendellrel d a
certain decree which was to he resisted,
it was his duty to sustlain tlhat decree.
lie could liot review the actionl of aI
Unitedt States judge.
Mr. Trumbull said the faets did not I
sustain tlh Senator's argumlllellnt. TIe
President, through his Attorney (leno
rml, hadl sent a dispatch before time
making *of 1)nrell's decree, directing
the United States miarshlal to enforce
:amy order or dacreo which the lUnited
States court lmight miake. 'lT'hcemlltor
froml Indiana slays therel are m1o trooipis
niow msupporting the Kell,,gg govern
ment. lThe roosl, were lnot (exactly
thereul thiIy wire withiii -uplml,,rtinii
hlistance.
mr, Ctrint'mr -idI in ,ii limit Mr.
Trumbull was entirely right. The tes
timony showed that the Kellogg gov
ernment could not stand ton minutes if
the support of the troops was with
drawn.
Mr. Morton again denied that the
Kellogg government was now sustain
ed by bayonets. The Senator (Mr.
Trumbull) says troops are within sup
porting distance. So troopsaro in sup
porting distance of this Capitol, yet no
one thought of saying that the Gov
ernment was supported by them. The
troops must stay somewhere, and al
though some were in Louisiana they
had no connection with the State gov
ernment.
Mr. Trumbull said there was never a
more Ifonstrous case of usurpation than
this setting up of the Pinchback gov
ernment. The troops were there to
uphold this usurping government; they
held the State House that these usur
pers might organize their government.
The Senator from Indiana admits that
the orders of Durell were usurping
orders; he admits that this usurping
government was set up by the United
States bayonets, yet lie now says that
all is lovely, and they should be left
alone. lie (Mr. Trumbull) thought it
was time that this interference of the
United States should cease; he thought
it time that the troops snould be called
off.
Mr. Trumbull continued at some
length in review of the existing status
in Louisiana, and in reference to the
last election expressed his opinion that
it was in the main as fair an election as
is ordinarily the case.
Mr. Thurman said it would boa
crying shame for this Congress to ad
journ without taking any action iin this
Louisiana matter. IHe thought that,
according to all principles of law and
justice, Congress should by resolution
or otherwise, recognize the McEnery
government; but the proper question
now before the Senate was one of the
order of business. In reference to the
Caldwell matter, he had been looking
into it, and he found that there was
nothing to prevent its being considered
at the executive session. But this C
question of determining the lawful r
government of a State wasoneof trans- t
condent imlportance, and importanut
appropriation bills were also pressing.
In view of the brief remainder of the I
session, he thought the agricultural
college bill should be laid asido, and
the essentially important matter ho c
proceeded with. f
Mir. Morton said he had, as far as
possible, disconnected himself from all
partisan considerations inl the Louisi
ma matter, and lie had hoped the '
liscussion on it would have been free
from all partisan bearing. But the
Senator from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) Ii
had willed it otherwise-hlie had made
a personal assault on the President for
his action. In his (Mr. Morton's) I
opinion, the President had conducted
himself in a meritorious mnanner, and
was entitled to the thanks of the peo
pie of the United States for what he
had done. The action of the President
had saved the city of Noew Orleans from
mobs, violence, and carnage.
Mr. eSchnur interrupted, and read t
from the report of the majority of the
comamittee the opinion that but for the
usurping orders of Judge Durell the
action of the T)e Ferriet Board would '
have been acquiesecd in in a short time,
and good order and pleate would have
prevailed.
Mr. Morton said he dissented entire
y from this view; he did not believe
it; you must go back in the history of
Louisiana. In 1866, during the ex
citemnent which prevailed there, hun- a
dreds of people were killed and manl
treated for political reasons. In 1868,
as appears by a report of a committee
of the other house, over one thousand
people were killed, and many maimed,
because of their political opinions.
The President knew what a seething
caldron New Orleans was, and he (Mr.
Morton) vindicated him and praised f
him for the action which he took to N
preserve peace and order in that city. f
It was the duty of the President to I
enforce the decrees of the United States
court.
M[r. Trumbull asked if it was the N
duty of the President to enforce a void
decree of the courts.
Mr. Morton replied that the Pr'ri- 1
dent was not a court of appeal. I e t
had no decision as to this matter. It
was made his duty by the law to on- I
force the decrees of the court, and llie
woul have been liable to iminpachlnent I
if he haid not done it. ''lTu P'resident r
knlew the ilnliiinent danger, and so far
froim! his having done anything to de
serve C(nsure, lie was entitled to the I
praise of good mncri of iall parties for t
preventing ia re-enactment of the scenems s
of 1800 anld 184. The Senator from r
Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) thinks the t
%lcl:Enery g¢overnment was lawfully t
elcctedl. On thiis point he Rsent to the
dleskc, to bel! reaul, anl extract from the t
rplort of the majority setting forth
fraudls at the last elc.tion, and denying i
that the McEmlery govern(,nt hadul the
least sliawow of lhgallity to suqpport it.
In this view he (Mr. Morton) fully I
concurrced. l'The MIcl~r ry LegislaturE i
hid no mormo right to the title of a lKgal
lmgislature than any lioeck lmgislmhiur(!
lwhich migllt he , set up inu any of the i
small towns. It was no more than a
Smct legisl:tturi mt tahe b.at.
At this point the mlssage of tihe
're-idmint urging mipomi Coiigress to
take s'ome eamtion in regarml to Louisi
Ia was- receive, :anml, :at the suggles
timmt mf Mr. 4('ollkll,, was resmI ,y the
- Secretary; and on motion of Mr. Ed
- munds, ordered to be printed.
f Mr. Hill argued in favor of the adop
tion of some method to harmonize
matters between the contending par
t ties, and against Congress devolving
upon the President the respoqpibility
of deciding this question.
Mr. Morton here arose, and, refer
ring to the wish of several Senators
that the Caldwell case should go over
till the next session, said that if it was
understood that no advantage would
be taken of the expiration of this Con
gress, he would consent now to allow
that matter to go over.
The consideration of the agricultural
college bill was then resumed.
VACCINATION--ITS DANGERS, AND
ITS TRUE CHARACTER.
A subscriber to the 8pringiield lie
publican, who is also a physician of I
some tienty years' practice in adjoin- I
ing State, sends us briefly his views of 1
the dangers incident to vaccination, i
and their cause, in a note which we
print below, and which is worth the {
reading by everybody who either vac
cinates or is vaccinated-that is to say,
of ninety-nine persons in every hun- t
dred. It is impolssible to be too care- a
ful in a matter so delicate and impor- t
taut as propagating disease, oven if
the disease be a protective one:
As practiced, vaccination is attended C
with danger, both to life and to health, t
andl the reasons for this are probably 'I
these three:
1. The use of ,"crusts." A crust is
the scab of a sore, and is necessarily
comeposod of dried vaccine lynipl i
(mostly in a pustular state) in small I
quantity, the inflanied and diseased
integunent in astateot decomlllpoition,
and dried puns, also in a state of par
tial decomlposition. The deaths at
Voestford a few years ago were from it
crust dissolved in water. Probably
the two deaths reported a few days ago
at Falmouth were front t he use ofcrusts.
Every physician (almlost) has soen
cases of badly swollen arms (erysiplohas,
really, instead of cow-pox) from the
th Quse of crusts. Lot everybody re
nember that a vaccine crust is the par- l
tially rotten scab of it filthy sore, andll
is aI very dallngerous altld ilecell t kindl II
of nedicine.
2. The use of a dirty la-ncet or vac- I'
cinator. Every instrument used should I
be at onceecleanused by boiling water andl 1
fire. NVash off all the adlierent blood, t
&c., imlmnediately, anul dry the instru- II
mnent by heat above the boiling point. to
This is anot coumnionly done, aind, with g
some of the complicated instruaments, i
never. Hence arise cuases of erysipelos, '
and probably death. I have under nmy i
careo ai man, healthy before vaccination "
in D)ecemlber, who has been sick with tI
pyemia for six weeks. 'hils is n case I
of blood poisonl from the use, iprobably, l
of a dirty knife.
3. The use of vaccine matter taken '
too late from the vaccinated person. a
Vaccine matter generally becomes a
blood poison by thel ninth or tenth day
after vaccination. It should be tiaken u
on tile seventh or eighth day, whl'n it I'
is as clear as water, and ulsed ilanlmedi
ately, if possible. Every daly's kop- A
ing of such matter, on points or qaills,
renders the lymph liable to becoaale
a blood poison.
These three dangers of vaccination tl
imply sollae ignoratnce or fault on the sa
eart of the vaccinator. (On the part i
of til.. ;'naciklated tlhei diangers are mol.st- s
ly naechlaniccal. The vaccine vesicloe
is ruptured or irritaltel in sHomlae way, s1
anud inlflalimatien takels place. f~iL tle. tI
danltger front this is slnall compliaredal to tl
the introduction of a blood ploison by al
the vaccinator. n

the crater of Vmuvins, had a counter
part January 15, wlhen a Belglan named
Leonlux, and a Swiss named Schmidt,
met a similar fate. Those foolhardy
tourists insisted on being lowered, and
int despiteof roeonstrancoe of the guides,
took hold of loops and swung over the
gloomy votid. Thle guides' last warn
ing to tnelnt was not to venture inward.
WVhtethler they worosmuotherid, or niss
ing a step, were hurled into the abyss,
nobody will over know. Contrary to
the advice of the gulides, they let gotho
looped ropes and ventured into the
crater's recessts. ''ho tourists above
cried out, but no responso camne back.
Tihe guldes were lowered repeatedly,
and several excursionists went so far ans
the ropes would allow in search of their
comnrades, but in vain. This is the
third dlislLster of this nature within the
lpast ton years.
