IN BON houses oil Congress the reslg
nation Il Mr.. Haywood. and The onira
geous assault. Upau HIN BY The orgor
Of the Administration. the Washington
Union, formed the subjects Of remark on
Tuesday ofiast week. We copy wIiat wa:
said in The Senate By Mr.. Webster, Mr.

y In the House Mr.. Biegs Of this STATE.
Loco. came down upon Mr.. Haywood
much in the s.ylskof The Unions article.
Messrs. Barringer and D.ckery of This
STATE, Whgs, defended Mr.. Haywood in
respect Of his honesty and integrity. Mr..
Dobbin too expressed his opinions, and
bis remarks srs appended 10 those made
in tbe Senate. Wiinington ChrOn.
Mr.. WEBSTER took occasion TO say
farrerTsrr OF me .szsr-vr-- arrsesl asal s.sa..
they nov found themselves placed, and
strongly Indicative of the absorbing inter-
est which surrounded this question, that he
bad not the honor to-day 10 address full
Senate. Since the commencement Of his
observations on Saturday an honorable
member Of the Senate from one of the
Southern States had vacated his seat in
that body. They would probably soon
hear from that gentleman himself the rea-
sons which led him to leave position to
which he seemed to be attached. He was
not otherwise acquainted, with those rea-
sons than as he gathered them from the
very extraordinary publication in the Cos,
verapenl paper Of Saturday evening. He
inferred from that publication that the ho-
nors5le member LEFT his seat from an ina
kility TO support the measures Of the Adj
Ininislrahon now before them without vio-
lating his conscience, and from great I'M
willingness 70 disoSlige his party and po-
liiical friends by voting against them. As
that gentleman was gone he might speak
of him, and in doing so he could not speak
OF him otherwise than as q man Of charac-
Ter and standing, as man of learning and
attaiuments, of great courtesy, of unsur-
passed intelligence and attention in the. die.
charge C. his public duties, and. as they all
knew, fas far as they might Judge of his
course there,) the unfaltsring and consis-
tent friend of the present Administration.
Now, sir, Continued Mr. Webster am
ashamed of my country when ! see gen.
tienlan ef this character hunted, abused,
DETAINED. according to the degree Of abuse
and defamation which some writer for the
government, in the paper of the govern
meat sees fiji to pour out against The re-
firing member. 1t is disgrace to the CT
vilizaiion of lie age. il il disgrace to the
american people. "
Mr.. BENTON rose and asked thc ia
dulgenre of the Senate for few moments,
that he might recur to proceeding of yes.
tcrday. lie had not arrived in his seat
Yesterday morning when the resignation
OF Mr.. Haywood was announced 10 the
Senate, or he would have ayaiIed himself
of that opportunity 10 make the remarks
which he was now about to make. Had |
he hsen in his seat at that moment, he |
would have made statement to the Sc
nate OF what he knew as TO the causes which /
led to Mr.. Haywood's resignation, and Of
the motives which had induced him TO
resign his seat in the Senate. Mr.. Hay
wool was absent at the time the tariff bill
rame from the House OF Representatives.
At the very first moment Of his appearance
N The Senate, after his return. he took me.
aside and impaired 10 me his insnperabIe
,hlertions to The bill. He stated that he
lOnli not 60 for II. and proposed toendea-
or % amend il. Igave him 10 understand /
cry pointedly,. and did the Senate subse- n
I, 'rily. that my own objections to The bill 9
fere very s-ong, and that the only reason .
rfay should vote for II was that We might 4
al rid of III act of 1912; that, rs for any Il
