Mr. WILLIAMS. am one of a sub committee to which was referred the consideration of the condition of the States of Louisiana, Texas, and Florida; and it is due to truth and justice that I should say that the imputations Of the Senfrom Kentucky, so far as that sub committee is concerned, are entirely unfounded in fact. I have to say that no application has been made to that subeommittee for the examination of any witnesses which has been rejected, but, on the contrary, every person who has been suggested as a witness, has been subpoenaed and examined without any reference to the party by whom the suggestion was made. Governor Marvin, who is here claiming to be admitted as a Senfrom the State of Florida, was brought before that committee for examination, and was partly examined, but he was called away and is exami nation was not concluded; it will be resumed when he returns, if he desires it. I suppose it is known to the honorable senator that General Lee, Governor Sharkey, and other men, have been brought before this committee and examined; but it is not true in any respect that any persons who were competent to testify in reference to the condition of of fairs in the southern States have been excluded because they were supposed to be favorable or unfavorable to one side or the other; and I have to say now to the honorable Senator that so far as the sub committee is concerned of which I have the honor to be the chairman, if he knows of any man in this city or elsewhere who would be a competent witness as to the state of affairs in Louisiana, Texas, or Florida, I am willing to have him subpoenaed, and perfectly willing to examine him so that all the facts may be brought to light and the country may be fully advised as to the condition of these States. I supposed that these facts were known to the honorable Senator, and certainly it seems to me that before he indulges in such whole sale denunciations of a committee he should. take some pains to advise himself of the facts; and the assumption that this committee, so far as I know its proceedings, has declined to examine anybo y, is an assumption that is not founded in fact.
