MM. .nnninled this COmmittue Was
electd by fraud, the same br the one
iAM,pd in Misnissippi. The
Alabama election by which this Legis
lature waa put in, like that iu Miswa
sippi, was part of a conspiracy to over
throw tbe lawful government in tbe
South. He recoguized tbe Senate as
the only body hving authority to iu
quire into his election and his right to
a seat in this Chamber. He theielore
offered a resolution instructing the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
to inquire whether George E. Spencer,
a Senator in Congress from the State
of Alabama, aid ne, or cause w uo
used, corrupt practices to secure his
election to a seat in the Senate, and
authorizing ssid Committee to send
for persons and papers, and sit during
the holiday recss.
Davis suggested that the resolution
lie on the tt.ble and be printed.
Conkling caid, the Senator from Ala
bama hi d been assailed, aud he asked
an investigation by a Senate Commit
tee. He hoped the Senator from West
Virginia would not ask a postpone
ment. Thurmun said he knew nothing what
ever of the case, but it seemed to him
ihnl tlio roAntntinn U8 ir IWU. simply
directed an inquiry as to whether the
Heuator mmseu nna usea corrupt iu
Tim broader miestion. MS to
whether the election was secured by
fraud, was not covered by the resolu-
Spencer said he would modify it to
meet the views of the Sanalor from
Ohio. , t
The resolution was then modified to
read as follows :
Resolved, That the Committee on
Privileges aud Emotions are hereby
instructed to investigate into, and in
quire whether iu the election of Geo.
E. Spenoer, as a Senator from the
State of Alabama, there were us d, or
caused to be used and employed cor
rupt means or corrupt praot,oes to
secure bis eleotiou to the seat he now
holds, and that the said Committee be
empowered to administer oatns ; to
send for persons and papers j to take
testimony ; to employ stenographers,
and suob clerical assistance as they
may deem necessary, and to sit during
the recess of Congress if considered
advisable, aud to report thu result of
their investigation as soon as practica
ble. ' V
