Report of the Effort and Comments
-.a Thereon.
t.
LBaltimow Sun Begular Eeportl
Who made the South solid? i Clearly
the Republican party. Many Southern
men opposed secession, but were drawn
into itrwhen it came. At the Close of
the war those men were influential and
highly respected by the Southern peo
ple, and if the-people of the North had
offered - to coalesce with them in an
effort to heal the wounds of war a pros
perous 1 reunion would soon have been
established. Instead of doing so the
South was juggled with for years now
held to be in the Union, and now out of
it, as best served the interests ,pf the
dominant party of the North, and pro
gress was impossible. Finally they were
declared out of the Union entirely,
given over to martial law, and chaos
returned. Ten per cent, of the best
hong of the more ignorant class enfran
chised. Elections were held under the
direct supervision of the troops, and the
result of all this ' was the adoption of
so-called State constitutions and the
election of so-called officers, together
forming a system under which the
South was plundered until nothing re
mained worth stealing. Could any one
wonder that the South solidified against
the party causing all this evil? That
party's only supporters now are the
most ignorant negroes, and they are
learning that their best interests are on
the other side, while the carpet-bagger
finds that clime no longer congenial,
and finds his only refuge in an occa
sional custom-house or revenue office.
Mr. Vance pointed out that all the ter
ritory absorbed in the country's rapid
growth had been acquired under Dem
ocratic rule, except Alaska, a barren
country, with a climate which he had
heard described "as nine months winter
and tin ee months damnation poor
weather." Laughter. Under Demo
cratic rule there was no credit mobilier,
no returning board frauds, no electoral
commission, no Belknap, The other
side wail at the approaching end of all
things, but the only thing coming to an
end is the corrupt Republican jparty,
The Southern men act with the Demo
crats of the North' to restore good gov
ernment, Whenever Republican Sena
tors abandon vituperation and ventured
to touoh on the merits of the question
they were very illogical. One Senator
asked if we feared thirty soldiers in
North Carolina. We do, just as the
Hollander fears the first crevasse in the
dyke that may lead to an inundation ;
just as the physician dreads the first
speck of gangrene in his patient's
wound, which presages danger,! Con
cluding, Mr, Vance said: MWhat the
people most need is rest. The residents
of his section desired it above their
chief joy. The policy of conciliation
pursued by the Democraoy of the North
would alone secure this rest. Let us
imitate nature, who has covered the
battle-field of the rebellion with her
robes of green. Let us throw a mantle
over the memory of th past"
Baltimore Sun Special Correspondence.
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, fol
lowed Mr. BlaineyTtnd spoke with con
siderable force, varying his remarks
with apt illustrations, which caused
much laughter. The sound Democratic
doctrines which he enunciated com
mended themselves so much to Dr.
Mary Walker, who sat irt one of the
galleries, that she testified her appro
bation with the most vigorous thumps
on the floor with a large-sized umbrella
which she carried. The chair imme
diately directed that the violator of the
decorum and dignity of the Senate be
ejected from the galleries. Immediate
ly three or four stalwart, able-bodied
doorkeepers rushed toward the spot
where the doctor sat, attired in her
faultlessly fitting coat, her tight pants,
and with her hair parted on the side in
regular b"hoy style. She grasped her
umbrella and confronted them with a
defiant look, when every one of them
shrank back in dismay and retreated,
and the doctor shook her head in tri
umph. A few minutes later Governor
Vance concluded, and the doctor again
testified her pleasure with a more in
tense and prolonged rapping of her um
brella than before. Again the assistants
of the sergeant-at-arms made for her,
and again she made them retreat, and
then with great deliberation made her
way into the recesses of the ladies' re
tiring room and disappeared from view.
The scene was witnessed by the entire
galleries, and very much enjoyed.
Washington Special to Richmond Dispatch.
Gov. Vance's speech is highly com
plimented to-night by Southern Sena
tors. Another French Governmental Conflict.
PAHis, May 21. The Radical mem
bers of the chamber of deputies will, on
Saturday, propose the following order
of the day : . The, chamber, regretting
that the government in the distribution
or pardons has not made an application
more politic and more conformable
with the amnesty law, and hoping that
in future the government will so apply
it as to avoid electoral conflicts and give
the country paoification, it needs passes
to the order . of the day." This is prac
lically a resolution : of censure, and
would involve the fall of the cabinet,
Which will therefore, it is believed, de
mand the order of the day, pure and
simple.
