Mr. ROUSSEAU. I am very much obliged to the gentleman for any portion of his attention. I do not expect to get the gentleman to vote with me on this bill, though I wish he would. I wish that he, a good, loyal man, would stand out with me for the right, as I have stood with him for the last 4 years. I wish that I could induce him and other gentlemen who will vote with him to look at this matter without prejudice. Remember, sir that nlthelu h [am not, properly speakin", a Republican, am a Union man, good and true, as I believe; and I think that I am entitled to the gentlemnns attention and his confidence when state what I know as to the operations of this bureau. Sir, as I remarked before, the judicial and other otticers of Kentucky, if they refuse to violate their oaths in obedience to the hehests of the agents of this bureau, may be arrested and punished by them, this bureau acting as an appe late court on all subjects, while appeals lie from it nowhere. If you get on the cars with your wife and The gentle daughter, and if there be asare seat, and a drunken negro comes forwar to take it, and you ask him ifhe pleases to move a little further otf, and he takes a notion that he will not do it, and should report to the bureau that because he was a negro he was not allowed to take that sent, this Freedmens Bureau may at once arrest you and your duu hter, and fine and imprison both. I say this bill authorizes that thing, and I defy anyone of its friends to successfully combat that position. If you go to a theater in a place where this Freedmens Bureau is established, and, not because they are negroes, but because they are unfit and ignorant persons, they are told they have no right to go and take seats with your family, and you prevent it, the bureau may arrest and imprison you. if a judge decides that a negro cannot be sworn in a cause bein tried in his court, under the laws of a State which he has sworn to administer, why, sir, before that decision is cold upon his lips they may arrest and take him off to the agent of the bureau and punish him as before stated.Mr. Speaker, I ask members here, and especially the Union men of this House, to answer and tell me whether the would submit to such outrages? If they won (1 not Submit to them, will they then ask the Union men of the South, who have stood by the Government, to submit to them? If they do, all I have to say is that we cannot and will not submit to them. But, sir, there is no necessity for these out rages. Laws should be provided ample in their characterto protect that race if they are not now sulficient, and I think they are not. and, as I have already said, if these things do occur they willdestroy all feeling of good will between the whites and the blacks in that country. I repeat, when ill feeling has thus been created all the armies you may raise cannot protect them. Where now is the Freedmens Bureau? Why did not its agents prevent the hangings and imprisonments of which the Gentfrom Pennsylvania [Mr. KELLEY] has spoken? The Freedmens Bureau is in Alabama, and the military are still t. No, sir, it cannot be done. So far as Iu nd the Operations of the bureau, it lies around the towns in the State of Kentucky to harrass and oppress, and by oppressions to put upon the loyal men of that State issues that they cannot carry; issues which they cannot de fend. Let us 1st do right ourselves, and then we can demand that all others shall do it.
