The R. Wing has, as usual, hit away at the Scna-
TORS who absent from their Chamber on Thursday
last when motion was made for the reconsideration
of the small note Bill. But is not the Wing aware OF
the justification they claim Had not that bill been
rejected when there was a full Senate by very de-
cded majolity3 AK! was i fair proceeding to act
again upcn the subject, when there bare majority
present. and when the Senate was on the eve OF ITS ad
ournmenE The Wing too complains ofthc Senate adop-
tnr the stay law Does it not know that 1t was pass
ed in consequence of the absence of three of the Wing
Senators: And if this right, could It be wrong IN
the other Senators being absent on The small note bill:
b. Sides of the Senators do not object to the pas
sage of what is called the stay law because the law in
relation to the Banks prevents the notcholders from
recovering specie from the Banks upon ten days no.
tce, and they thought it but right, that the creditor
should be prevented from forcing specie from the debtor
when he has no of obtaining 1t from the Banks
They considered, too, this stay law, mere alteration
of the remedy or mode Of collection, and not i'm,
pairInp n contract.

under the impressions that the Generals views in re-

Mr. James Garland appears in the Madisonan, and
pleads guilty To the charge OF writing the Nelson Ad
dress of 1896 In that address, he denounces General
HARRISON en,ueratcs his transgrcssons, and
declares that sthcsc votes taken in connection with
his letter to Sherrod Williams, stamp Federalism upon
his politics as dscidedly as ii is possible to And
SOW he declares for Gen. H. in preference to Mr.. Van
Buren,! Folly and apostacy cannot further 20. But,
the fact is he has lost individuality in the influence Of
Mr. Riycs He is the mere shadow of the "Eeiled Pro
pa,:" As the Globe says, "Now Mr. Rlves has changed
his pocT and has come out openly against 'hs former
friends and for Harrison, and Jenny Garland does

then resolves itself into this-he is the humble follower
