Showing the CloTen Fot. The Radical theory of Government Is finely illustrated by the subjoined! remarks of Mr. E. Hoar, of Massachusetts, oaths proposed constitutional amendment, fixing the Presidential term at six years and rendering the President Ineligible to a second term: Mr, Hoar remembered a oonversa-tion -which he bad -with an eminent gentleman standing high In office, In reference to the re-lection of Mr. Lincoln, and who was very much opposed to hia re-election, and he (Hoar) had then said he believed, the Ameri can peonl in tended' to re-elect Lin coln, if necessary, daring the re3t of nis lire, until ne was recognizea ny very part of 'the country as President of the United States.

He (Hoar) did not propose to aid in depriving the- American under' any emergency or exigency, of determining whom they should keep in the Presidential chair. He did not believe that they ever would keep a man: beyond the time which Washington's: exam-pis had sanctioned; and -which- was ons of ths traditions of the Republic, "but it was a very grave and serious question to deprive the people of the power to choose. That is their idea. They look upon the Government as a central power, superior to the. people able to "deprive them" of rights and' powers.

To reverse this unrepubll-an order is the great mission of the Democratic party. Freemen cannot long survive under a government: Re publican; -In; form but Imperial in spirit and in the claim and exercise of despotic powers. Oae)f tbe BlMdhvuds the Northern Methediat: Zion on thelalijuui Troubles. The Boston reports the Rev. B.I.

Ives, of Hew York, speaking at th regular weekly meeting of the Methodist preachers of Boston and vi cinity last, Tuesday The subject was. the Louisiana troubles, and these saints tackled It with the same pious and holy zeal they have always shown. After one Bishop Bow had finished a. recital of what, he knew of the. horrible, treatment Infllct- ed; upon the.

negroes, of Louisiana by the "banditti," Ives took the floor and proceeded to preach Christ and Him crucified as follows He said we are undertaking now to coax the devil out of the miserable whelps down South, when nothing bat strychnine and cannon: ought to be used- He rather agreed with Phil Sheridan's declaration during tne war, "that if ha had owned hell and Texas he would leave out Texas and live in the other place." Mr. Ives administered a caatigation to the church, de claring that there Is not a paper in the juetnomat unnrcntnat cares discuss the civil rights bill, and ask that-it be enforced. He said he. believed the meanest rascals in the South are: in the Methodist Church South. He de clared himself a Radical of the strong est juna, anu nevneneveo, tne more lie hated the rebels of the: South the more he loved God.

He declared ho believed that the spiritnow rampant in. the South has got to be crushed out by another war, and he longed for the appearance of some colored man able: to become a leader among his people, wielding the sword and torch. He said the bishops ought to come out publioly and declare the whole truth about the. treatment of the colored people In the Sooth, but he didn't believe they would. If they did, he knew they couldn't return to the South, for if they did they would behung; but.

he Intimated that it was no worse to hang a bishop than a minister, but he suggested if it was done it might wake up the people quicker than anything else. He thought the bishops too tenderhearted, and they reminded him of the man who wanted to oat off his dog'a tail, bat he; was too tender-hearted to cut.it off where it ought to be, so he cut it off art inch at a time. The speech of Mr. I vesr was; received with frequent demonstrations of approval; some of his most radical utterances exciting considerable applause, mingled with laughter.

the: distribution. 3. Whether the statutory mode of making such election precludes all others is not decided but if such elections can arise by matters enpais, it must be by dear uneqntvocal acts, with a full knowledge of all the circumstances and the party's right. Merer intention to elect, casual declarations or loose conversations will not suffice-; especially, when; not acted orr tothe prejudice of another. 4.

Where the intestate lands, are are Bold? under written agreement of the heirs, part of the price being paid cash and the remainder in notes severally made payable to and; accepted by the helra in payment of their respective' shares the proceeds of such sale, or notes, are not proper matters of his account and he is not entitled to commissions thereon. 5. The administrator is entitled to Interest on a balance in his favor originating from over-paymentsto distributees, but not aa a credit in his general accounts. Each distributee should be charged with so much of tho bal ance as was an overpayment to? with, interest thereon; 6.. An administrator's compensation is governed by the; law of force at the time the services were rendered and not by the law as It stood at the time of his appointment or settlement.

7. The act "to increase the compensation of executors, administrators, guardians- and county commissioners in Lauderdale approved Feb. 19, 1867, is not obnoxious to: that part tutioH; of 1865, which provides that "each law shall embrace but one subject, which shall bo described in the title." 8.

He then offered the fol lowing resolutions: SUBSTITUTE FOB SENATE BESOIUTIONS, Resolved 1st, That the interference by the military forces of the United States with the organization and bu sin ess of the House of Representatives of the State of Louisiana on the 4th day of January 1875, and the contin uance of such interference thereafter, was. and is. in the opinion of the Gen eral Assembly of Alabama an Outrage upon the constitutional rights of that State, and an alarming use of lawless power, dangerous ana roreatening to the existence of the States as States, and therefore tbe General Assembly of Alabama fullv concurs' with the opinion expressed by the President of tne united Htatesm nis late message to the Senate in which he said "I am well aware that any military interference by the officers or troops of the United States with the organization of a Stato Legislature or any of its proceedings, or wirn any civil de partment or tne government, is re pugnant to our ideas of government. can conceive of no case not involv ing rebellion or insurrection, where suoh interference by authority of the General government ougnt to be per mitted or can be justified" Resolved 2.

Anderson said he hoped the House would not take rash action in this matter. There is a great defect in our penitentiary system. There is an incongruity and inequality in the punishment for crime. The man who steals, the man who commits burglary or takes life are ail placed upon an equal footing. This strikes every mind as unjust and unequal.

There is a class of our population whese education docs not teach them that certain crimes are very heinous. A house of refuge for the young In every county should be estaoiisnea. The motion of Mr. Herman was adopted and the bill referred to a special committee of five. Blevins.

Passed Also, favorably to provent judges from exercising the functions of their office while charges of impeachment are pending against them, Harris of Dallas, said he hoped the rules would not be suspended.

He was' opposed to the bill because it only became necessary to prefer articles of impeach ment to stop any udge at any time and the Legislature may never actjuponthe articles. Mr Beirne thought a judge upon the bench should be like Caesar's wife above suspicion- It is presumed that the Legislature of the State will not prefer articles of impeachment unless there is some ground, and a judge who would continue to hold court while articles are pending against him, deserves to be punished. Merriwether moved the further consideration of this bill be postponed until to-morrow at 1 p. m. Agreed to.

Mr, Coon. Such has been the prac tice. Mr, Grant. This court is costing the people of Dallas S2Q per day, and the. very nature of the bill precludes amendments, It is simply abolition or not.

Mr. Coon. I raise the point that the report of the committee has not been reoeived. Mr. Grant.

Mr. Coon I have also some resolutions on the subject, and ask that they be now adopted as a substitute is Whereas, the following communication has been published in the morning's Advertises over the signature of J.Pepperman, which reads as follows: To the Wouae of Jtcprescntativca.

On the 16th of January William Gas-kin, a colored Representative In the Legislature, from Lowndes county, offered an amendment to a bill to consolidate the offices of Sheriff and. Tax Assessor of Hale county, whereby it waproposed to include the county of Lowndes in said bill. I have 'good -reason to belive that Gaskin did thisby way of Sometime idnce I refused to employ him as" toy Assistant. He knows, as I do, that the people of Lowndes do not desire the consolidation of these, -offices, and as he must have had some motive I am at a loss to imagine any other than revenge. YeBlerday, instance, he sent me a message by a gentleman that he would withdraw the amendment ifl would pay him one hundred and twentv-five dollars.

The Question now is: Does Gaskin value the -interest of the people of Lowndes in this matter as low as one hundred nd twenty-five dollars And if so how can it benefit the people of Lowndes for him to receive and use the money? Perhaps Gaskin, who thinks that one hundred and twenty-five dollars will check the progress of this bill, which Is now before the Committee of Ways and Means rates tho members by his own He think-, perhaps, that they ean be bought as cheaply as he. If bo, he will find, himself wofully mistaken, for all the money in Alabama can't corrupt tbeniS If the "honorable gentleman'' desires to raise question of privilege on this subjectlam ready to go before a Committee of investigation. Respectfully, J. PEPPERMAJ8T. And Whereas, The charges set forth in said communication are of such a grave character as to seem to demand immediate investigation and action on the part of this House therefore Be it Resolved, That the charges and accusations set forth in the communication be referred to a special committee of five to be appointed by the Speaker of tbis House.

Resolved, That said committee be empowered to send ior persons and papers, and report, the result of their Investigation at an early day. Mr. Woolf presented a petition from Pepperman setting forth the facts as alleged In the Advxbtiseb, and that a committee be appointed to investigate the facts alleged. Gaskin arose to a privileged question I denounce the author of the charges as an unmitigated liar, Mr, Woolf also presented solutions at this point, interrupting Gaskin, as follows: Whereas, Certain charges herewith submitted have been preferred against W. D.

Gaskin, sitting member from Lo wndes county, by Jacoh Pepperman of said county, charging said W. D. Gaskins with a violation of law and a prostitution of his office as Representative, and Whereas, The integrity and purity of Legislative bodies can only be maintained by adherence to law by Its members therefore Be it resolved, That the Speaker be, and Is hereby instructed and empowered without delay to appoint a committee of five members of this HoUBe, to enquire into all the facts growing out of thepetition of J. Pepperman, Charging W. D.

Lowndes county. With a violation of lawand conduct prejudicial to the dig nity oi tne body oi wruon ne is a member. Resolved further, That said -committee shall have full power to send for persons and papers and compel the attendance of witnesses and report the result of their investigation at the earliest practicable moment. Mr. Grant.

I accept the substitute. I think it proper to have a oommittee with power to send for persona and papers. Gaskin (resuming) said he wanted the matter investigated and asked for a fair and impartial committee. He wanted to go before the committee and he thought he would be able to show that the charges were false. He knew that men were heated when they were about to lose an office.

They want to keep an office aa long as it brings money. Mr. Coon, I rise to a question of order, I think the gentleman- from Lowndes has made sufficient denun ciations of the charge and of the par- tt nrnn nnnmi inn nn QT-rro plain my defense, and ask for a rulin oi tne onair. -0r mi Tir ai chair.) I rule further debate npon the AAIO vUiUl llUAl VACUIDUM AM liilv question out of order. The gentleman can go before tne -j (iasRin, I yield to the decision the chair.

Mr. Coon. I ask for the resolutions introduced bj myself to be read. ne resolutions were read. Mr.

Coon. I think a committee should be appointed, and that immediate action should be taken. The resolutions offered by Mr. Grant were then adopted as substituted by Mr. Woolf.

Mr. Coon called for a division there being some votes against the resolutions, A rising vote showed the resolu tions unanimously adopted. Mr. Fielder from the Special Committee appointed to examine the State Penitentiary and Farm, submitted a report and moved that it lie on the table and that 1000 copies of the same be printed, which was agreed to. bepobts op committees.

Judiciary. Mr. Beirne from Judi ciary Committee reports favorably to bill to repeal an Act to seoure complete records of this State. Approved December 10, 1863. Passed.

Also favorably to provide for costs in criminal cases when prosecution abated by death of dafendent Sams as when Passed. Also, favorably to provide for the payment of costs in criminal eases when indictments are withdrawn and filed. Same as above. Passed, Also favorably for tbe relief Isabella Winston. Passed.

Also favorably to prevent the cor rupt use of publio funds by the Commissioners Courts of the several of this State, Circuit Court Judge to appoint a Committee of three to ex amine records of Court. Passed. AIbo, favorably on Senate hill to provide for holdings? special terms ot Uircuit uourt. Merriweather, I am unwilling for any Judge to be allowed to "call a Court when he. wants to do so.

It may run the county to expense. Jn a number of cases they are aUprosted. Mr. Beirne. Judges are sworn to do their duty and if they were to tran-Bcend the bounds prescribed by law, the people would, frown them down.

Business could be often advanced and there can be no objection to the bill, Merriweather. This Js a political bill to Ku Kluxour party in the Pen itentiary by calling special terms when one of our party is doing different from what certain Democrats may want. Mr. Woolfe. I repel the eharge mada hy the member.

The Judiciary Corn-reported this bill as a means, of relieving the counties from the expense of feeding crowds of prisoners in jaihi and or trying men confined In these ails. Daniels moved to amend hv nwinir- ing the juries summoned to be one- half black and one half white men. Mr. Herman moved to lay the amendment on tbe table. Mr.

Price raised the point of order that the amendment was not germane to the hill. The chair ruled the amendment not of order. Mr. Bruce sustained the bill sahi the objections urged against it were not sonnd. If we are afraid the jodges and cannot trust them with the affairs of the State atspecial terms wo cannot trust them atgeneraLterms.

If the judiciary cannot be trusted we are near a state of anarchy. ments may be offered r.cant junount to nothing. It seems a dodging of tbe main issue which must come at last. Any evidence sgainst the passige of tne Dill can come up on argument. The opponents of tbis bill cannot put upon tbe country tbe idea that there is any gag law" intended.

The full est argument will be allowed. Mr. Bruce. Tuis looks like gagging. The minority reports, should be considered by the House.

Is it fair to order the bill to a third readine on Monday a bill Involving so much as tne abolition or a court of justice? The bill might be ordered to be amended at) this effort seems like an intention cut off; the -minority re-' port. Mr. mee. wnat advantage would the consideration of the minority report at tbe same time as the majority report give the gentleman 1 Would it give him a single argument? Mr. Bruce.

It seems that-an is made to cut us off from perfecting the bill by amendment. It seems, an effort to cut off the right of the minority to discuss this question. Mr. Grant. I want to ask the en--tleman if he and the gentleman from Dallas were not in the committee that considered bill and if they bad any amendment.

i Mr, Bruce. I have noamendmen is, but others have- Mr. Coon, Lrmove to lay both reports on the table and that 150 copies be printed. Mr. Grant I move to lay that mo tion on tne tame.

The vote resulted ayes 39; Pays 45. Mr. Herman moved to make the bill the Bpeclal order for 11 'o'clock Monday. Adopted, SENATE. Sattjbday, January 30.

Martin, of Tuscaloosa, moved to lay the motion on the table. Car ried. Mr. Farden moved to strike out first Tuesday in May, and Insert first Tues day in JJecember. Tabled.

He then moved to amend by requir ing that three residence shall constitute citizenship, and strike out five months. He proceeded: to tell that he knew" the good people of Jl t. 1 i. iu.uutguujBrjr uiu uuk ftisu tue um yua- sea they nave never ascea htm to as sise in tne passage or ttte oiu, Mr. Martin, of Tusealoesa, said that the citizens of Montgomery, so far as he bad been informed, did not wish to deprive any person or tne rignc to vote, but that they Blmply wished to stop tnose rrom voting wno baa no in terest in the city.

The bill deprives no genuine citizen ot any ngnt, and diSnlafiea Po man from offlne. Mr. Hamilton said true object of tne diu was ro secure tne rignp. or a legitimate vote against neutralization by an illegitimate It is the duty of the General. Assembly to arrange for" all municipalities a scheme of good and safe local self- government, and it was not inter ference on the part of the General Assembly In the affairs of Montgomery in legislating, as they request, in the interests of her 'bona fide citizens.

This bill prevents no man from voting it simply requires that the voter shall be a citizen of the territory in which he votes to allow those who are not citizens to vote, is simply fraud on those who are citizens. In Mobile, where there are about 8,000 voters, at a late city election more than double tnat number or votes were polled by interlopers and repeaters. xne present oiu ior tne. reiier or the citizens of Montgomery is a verbatim copy of the new election law for Mo bile, under which an election had re cently been held.and which had given the most eminent satisfaction. The same law exists in ail and hon est citizens love it interlopers, non residents, and corrupt people -general ly, wno manipulate elections against tne Known wisnes or goon citizens, ror base purposes, oppose sucn a measure.

It is a generous bill it throws a safeguard around the rich and the poor aiiKe tne mecnanic, tne artisan, the daily laborer, the merchant and the professional man, the white man and tne biacK. xt would be a boon to the people of Montgomery which, this General Assembly should not deny. It displaced no man, and obstructed no man's rignts. Mr. Farden kept on making amend ments, which were as often tabled, when on motion of Mr.
