Mr. GRINN ELL. Then the Gentfrom Kentucky is opposed to the AttyGen, who is also from the State of Kentucky, and the POTUS, who is from the State of Tennessee. I hope he will reconcile that with the fact that he is now rofossedly gar excellence one of the friends of the presieut. I know this, sir, that men from the northern States doing business in Kentucky are nowbeing indicted and tried by the courts of that State, because they were acting under the military authority of teU. S.; and there would be no freedom for the loyal people of Kentucky today but for the suspension of this writ and now, gentlemen from that State, 5 or 6 of them, are opposing this bureau. They dislike its operation, the presence of schools and real courts of justice, yet were not so unwilling that 25,000 of these men whom we now propose to protect, the negroes, should come in and save the whites from the draft. The gentleman knows that 25,000 negroes went from Kentucky in plnce of white men, and that those who are alive, with their families, are poor, unprotected in their rights, and mostly homeless and what does the gentleman now repose to mete out to this class and s are the government the infamy of their neg ect? The Kentucky Legislature has just been in session. It remained in session longen ough, I am informed, to vote out every man who was elected as a Union man whom it was possible to rub out on the ground of military interference in the elections. They have, I hear, so constituted the Legislature that the traitor Breekinridge can be elected to the U.S. Senate sooner than an undoubted Union man could be. I suppose these facts are perfectly notorious. Yet the Gentfrom Kentucky [Mr. Tnrnnns] says that the laws of Kentucky are honorable, ust, and suited to the condition of that State. but does not give, what I waited to hear, illustrations. I charge that they are mon strous and damnable laws. such as would be a dishonor to the most barbarous nation on the face of the earth, and I regret to apply the sound political maxim that no State or nation is better than its laws. I would ask the gentleman. why the Legislature of Kentucky at its late session did not change or amend those laws, so that they might allow that there was honor in the Kentuckian heart, that they were willing to mete out justice to all men? As the gentleman gives me his attention, I will wait for a reply if he has one to make.
