the elevep whichishe claims add holds ic
this House. . Here we have the astound
in fact that this State, one of the fore
most of those. State J "which joined in
establishing the fourteenth - amendment
ms a part of the organic law of this land,
his deliberately violated that amendment
and has been, and is now, enjoying the
fruits of ,this crime by holding represent
ation here which belongs, to tho people
of-the other States ot the union.
And now;, sir it is plain that if this
can be done your fourteenth amendment
is a dead letter and the Constitation of
the country a delunct instrument; Much
hasbeu said about the disfranchisement
of black men in "the South - by violence
and bloodshed, but it seems that- Massa
chusetts does by her law-makers what she
denounced the feouth for permitting to be
done by her criminals.
The gentleman from Massachusetts,
the sitting member in this Congress, has
devoted much time to a defense of the
laws, policies, and history of Massachu
setts, and has made a signally unsuccess
ful attempt to wipe out blurs and blots
that rest upon her name and fame. His
glorification of bis people as warriors, his
claim to preeminent distinction for Mas-
sachusetts men as soldiers in ine iaie
rebellion, is calculated to bring smiles to'
the faces of the real soldiers of great, war
States ut this Union. North and South;
Why, sir, if the real statistics could
be obtained there is every rccson to be
lieve that States like North Caro
lina and Tennessee, which, next to Vir
ginia, formed the backbone of the Con
lederacy, furnished more of their bona
fide citizens to tho Federal Army than
Massachusetts. Of course in arriving at
this result it would be necessary to de
duct from Massachusetts and credit to
us the Iarfre numbers of our black men
that she enlisted into Massachusett reg
iments and used as substitutes for her
kid-gloved gentry, and not one in ar hun .
dred of whom ever went into the Army,
except in an easy, comfortable and safe
position. She is no more entitled to
claim these as a part of her war quota
than she is to claim as her own produc
tion the cotton which we produce and the
manufactures. And if her talent and
her culture were in the Army, how is it
that she cannot send any of them to
Congress, how is it that almost all her
representative men, instead of being sol
diers, were during that terrific strife en
gaged in making money and contributing
to that vast wealth of the North without
which the So-th could not have been
comqueretl? " " -
But, sir, I make no charge upon the
people of Massachusetts". The 'gentle
man has gone far out of his way to seek
an opportunity to defend what he is
pleased to caU the State of Mas?achu
setts. Nobody had assailed the State,
but the gentleman, with a coolness that
is characteristic of his caste, assumes the
aristocracy of Massachusetts to be the
people and the State. The great mass
of the people of Massachusetts are labor
icg men and women. Her common . peo
ple and her middle classes that con
stitute the great majority of her people
are as good as the people of any other
State. It is not they who are now
brought lo the bar of the country for a
violation of the Constitution, but the
minority w'aich tramples them, down by
disiranching them by the thousands, and
which constitutes itself an, aristocracy,
founded upon neither blood car brains,
but raonev alone.
It can hardly be serionsly contended
that the contestant is entitled, to admis
sion. -
The legal question here is, it being es
tablished that Massachusetts is entitled
to lesi than eleven rremtcrsof theilouse,
shall she bo permitted to violate the
plaiu mandate of the Constitution be
cacse Congress by the apportionment act
of 1372 allot led to her oicven mombers?
It iscQQteoded. Congress having fixed
the apportionment erroneously, wrong
fully, and unconstitutionally, the wrong
can only be righted by a new congress
ional reapportioameut. i'he answer: is
that Congress can no more violate the
Constitution than M apsachusetts v eant
and when Congress declared thai Massa
chusetts was eatioi to elevea mernDett
it violated the Constitution and,4 Eke all,
other unconstitutional legislaAioA, t'
act, so far as It applied to Massachu
setts, was simjtfy and void. Will
anj man contend if North Carolina had
been declared to be entitled 'to forty
members when in truth and in law she
was only entitled to eight; that sh-j could
i hare ent forty members to this 'Hoa's
kept them hare onder the preleo
tnat uoojma bad to ordered! Would
nasi tcaofceiia coaaeai uai ner people

it ray be said that al though Mm ?a-
rlin.sett tsenioTios- an madne share of do
titled to nioeit would be monstrous to
turn out all of her members, to deprive
her of all -representation. TJxe" answer
is that if she bat two more votes on the
floor of this House than she is entitled
to, thereby giving totltayt three men in
Massachusetts the Vamepblitical,- power
as tour mea in New, York or ?' .North
Carolina if she has thus violated .the
Constitution of the country in tta-plainest
termf, then the wron must be remed
ied and such steps must be taken as ara
necessary to give her her true aod,lawful
representation. "The only way to de this
is to turn out all ber members in this
House and provide by competent legis-
lation for her true and. lawful appor'to.
ment. It is rWr-that tbV're ii no d nVr!
ence between the title of the coofr'&tee
in this ce and that of aov other nieiu-
ber of the Massachusetts delegation.
There is-no method by, which yotx can
select two of the eleven; and11 exclude
thera en as to reduce the number down to
her constitutional nine. The defect is in
the title of each and every 0ud oithem,
it is inherent and vital, and - no man can
distinguish "this case from the other case
which I have out ef a State sendinc for
ty members when she is only entitled to
eight. - . .
it docs not follow, that, because the
apportionment law of 1872 is null as to
uassachusetts it-is so as to the other
States. Kvery. law yer knows that a
law may be good in part and bad in part;
nor does it follow because the - illegiti
mate and excessive two which Uasso.
chusetts unlawfully' enjoys" belong to
soma other stateymai tne title or the
Representatives of that State is defec
tive. ; , - r.-,- , -v-v-..-r . : ,.
The distinction between tho -case c a
State which sends more and the State
which sead3 less than ita xoustitatiual
quota is easy, t A State which sends
more can only remedy the wrong by with
drawing tnera an and eenaiogthe proper
uumocr. . Aueotate wucn senas teas oas
only to provide by her own legislation
for the additional number, leaving those
who have already been elected. For
example, if in this cose the Massachu
setts members should be ousted and that
State should send' nine and the other
to should be . distribated between two
other Stato vhe two latter conldforbrfde
through ttoir Legislatures for an election;
perhaps by districts,- certainly by the
State at large, lor the additional member.
Broke Ills Leg.
We regret lo learn of a serious acci
dent to Mr. Wm. Tafi while at work at
the blacksmfth shop3in this city, at the
W. & W. R. It. Mr. Taft was at tho
time of the accident engaged iq lifting a
heavy 'piece of iron, when he fell and
broke his right leg just above the ankle
bone. He was carried to his home in the
Southern portion of the city, and hia
wounded leg cared for by. Dr. Thoa. F.
Wocx. He U doing as well as can be
expected, though it will be some time
before, ho will be able to go to work again ;
