MR. EDITOR. Anarchy still rules the
day in the Senate Chamber The disor-
derof to-day exceeds it possible that Of
yesterday, aud several times collision
that is a regular fsticuf--has seemed
unavoidable. Nothing but the impertu-
rable coolness Of the Speaker and the
Wing Senators has prevented it. This
'olness.is produced by the consciousness
f being in the right, aud contempt for
their assailunIs whose rage is Augmented
by this very course. Locofncu Senators
seem to take the lie quite as if they
knew they deserved it. Mr.. Whitman
has on one or two of these occasions left
his seat and shaking his hair, advanced
to tho aisle, but he never moves further
Mr.. Swift read an elaborate document
detailing the bargain as alleged 10y the
States evidence Payne aud Hamliu, aud
closing with resolution for removing the
Speaker. AS you have probably publish.
cd this will not repeat it. The Speaker
as soon as this was offered gave the Chair
to Mr.. Eckley No objection WIS made
Ot the limo which was shortly before re
cess.
After recess, the LocofDco Senator.
refused to come to order until the Speak
er took the Chair, aud then a scene took
place which as II was repeated several
times, | wi II give once for all. As soon
as the Clerk had called over his roll.

co Senators including Whitman, out a
their seais, and hear them shouting at th
top of their voices for order, aud yor
