The limine I'lissew u Substitute for the
Senate Measure, Opening th Cherokee

Wasitincitos, March 14. In the sen
ate 1 ills were passed for public buildings
at Stockton, Colo., $50,000; Mammoth

Senator Kustis referred to two state
ments made by Mr. Hoar in reference) to
the southern states, one being that in
the stafe of Ixmisiana and in some other
states thre were laws which male it
a penal ofTence fort wihte man to asso
ciate on tei ins of c'..i ility with a black.

t.u.ou-.-, i . L.ii; Mi i. 'i i i .-. .o ;; . l.oc
nient. The o her statement of Mr. Hoar
was to the effect that there was anot icr
law in Louisiana which provided for tho
.sale of colored men for a ct r ain time
out of woik, aJid tiiar, the former master
should have the preference in the pur
chase, lie asked Senator Hoar whether
he could find any ! u h l;.w oi the statute
hocks of Louisiana. He (Senator Kiisti.)
knew that tlie criticism was directed
ag,diist the Demo ratio legislature of
Louisiana of ls,s(;-7, but he had never
hea. il a Kepuoiicati senator criticise the
infamous laws enacted in Louisiana by
liepul bcan legislatures. 'Ibere was no
such law, however, as that whicli Mr.
Hoar had referred t , and any pretense
lb-it there as only illustrated with
what recklessness and destitation of
sense of resjn.sibility Republican sena
tors spoke of souther. i affairs.
Senator Hoar said he had erred about
Lousiana, but a law of this character ex
isted in Mis.s.ssippi.
The educati 'iial I ill was t ki n up at
2 o'clock and fv uaior Blair addressed
the senate. At the conclusion of his re
marks Senator Call endeavored to intro
duce a preamble and resolution regard
ing the nominees to certain federal of
fices in I-lorida. hut Senator Chandler
made the point that they referred to ex
ci tive matters.
Senator Sherman asked Mr. Eu-tis
whether he did not know that the
fi.teenth amendment never would have
been proposed i nt lor the fact that the
laws of tiie southern states were depriv
ing tue negro of his rights of citizen
shin. Senator Eintis .assert e 1 that all recon-stru'-tion
measures and constitutional
amendments were adopted by the Re
publican party with the single object of
Africanizing the south and maintaining
political supremacy: and this he charac
terized as the "greatest crime ever com
mitted Hgamsi civilized communities."
Senator Sherman then made a long
speech iu defease of reeonstructio.i
njo'isures
Senator Putler then followed, and
when he had concluded the senate went
into executive session aud at oili p. ui.
adjourned.
House.
In the house the bill passed extending

On motion of Mr. Tarsney of Missouri

tab idimeiit of a laud ofiije in No Man's
Land.
On motion of Mr. Hoi man of Indiana
