AS u traWplnS upon Tue rights oi tuo iH'-
lority and their constituencies the pro-
ceGings of a mob and not that of Senate. |
They called the attention OF the President to
several points of order and Rules besides
hose already quoted which he had violated
n disrcgar,led They charged that he had
violated Rule /, which requires questions TO
be distinctly put in form by him before they
were properly before the body, which in the
ease of Mr. Cowan's motion he had not done.
That he had violated Rule 10 and Rule 20.
On ordering the = main question to be put,
there were ~ yeas-the Republicans reius-
ine to vote.
Thereupon President HOLCOMBE said:
" The main question is now ordered.'
Senator LlNDSLEY thereupon said -
" Did YOU not decide that the main question
was already before Ordered by the rising OF
thiscmob on the other side of the Senate,
and therefore, refused to admit call OF the
Senate ?"
President IIOLCOMBE replied No-that
was the Secomfing"
Senator LINDSLEY-"Y ou decided Sir,
before, that it was the 4" ordertng ana not the
secondng, and that a call was not therefore
in order. You have violated the rules, SIR,
and trampled on the rights of the senators !;
and we will not submit to such damnlnS
usurpation.' ETC. While Mr.. Lindsey was on
the floor, there was a great deal of conusion
in the midst of which under the erroneous
impression that the main question-to-wlt.
To reconsider the vote adopting the amend
meut to Rule 30 requiring Il two-thlrdS vote
to suspend a call of the Senate -had been
nut and carried, some Democratic Senator
moved 10 adjourn, which was pronounced
carried. and so the mob called Senate dis
persed.
Irhis morning, it will be interesting to see
the battle upon the corrections III the Daily
Journal, wien the Senatorial crowd meets
again. SO great was the confusion and anar'
chv prevailing throughout the latter portion
Of the session, that almost any interpolation
could be made in its pages almost with I'M
plnity, and without getting hardly hail a
DOZEN of the Senators 10 honestly unite IN
any one version of the proceedln gs.l
The foregoing is a plain, unvarnlShed,
and impartial statement Of the facts. They
are disgracelul to the State, and prove con-
clusively that if our Governor was chosen by
crime and forgery. we have Lieutenant
roost to accomplish party purposes. a man
who could thus to achieve base party trl-
umph viclat. his oath of Office, and descend
to |, ing and subtcrfuge is too base Tor aught
except contempt. If under the impulse OF
feeling occasion by the outrage perpetrated
by this Democratic lick-spittle, the RepublI-
can Senators had dragged the rascal from
the chair he disgraced, the People would have
justified them in the proceeding. When the
Rules were SO openly disregarded ard tramp
led by him under foot, the body ceased to be
Senate and became mob, without rules,
and he the leader of a band of outlaws who
deserved no quarter. Hex-RoosT HoLCoMBE
may depend upon it there will yet be a reck-

We expect the gallant Republican mi
nority no. to quail one instant, but defend
their own rights and those of the people, al
all hazards and by every means in their power
The Decency and Dignity and Truth
fulness of the Pioneer Illustrated.
The Pioneer of yesterday indulg,s in the
following dgnitied language respecting thu
editor of this paper:
"FosIER lied when he wrote that para
graph, and he knew that he mcanly an(
wickedIy lied"
The occasion for using this dignfied ant
decent language was to defend the Democra
tic majority in the House from the odium 0
having adjourned on Friday last over Satur
day until Monday, as part of the Democratic
systea Of detay to justify their election of {
Y. S. Senator at this Session, or at an Extra
Sc sion to be forthwith called by SIBLEY.
Depending on outside information, We hat
observed in regard to the votes in the mega
tive on this proposition, that
at is hardly necessary to add that every
one of the % nays were Republicans"
If we had not believed this, how absurd tc
have Knowingly made a miSstatement, when
we were aware the Pioneer stood ready tC
catch at every straw to save its party from
drowning But that paper now as a contra
diction, publishes the names of five Anti.
Lecompton Democrats who voted along with
the Republicans in the negative, viz Messrs
BRAY, MASTERS, ROBINSON, STARKEy, and
SCoFIELD and of three Lecompton men, viz
PIERCE, REHFIELD and TUT1LE. We give
these members full credit for voting with the
majoriy Of tie Republicans in this occasion
instead of with the majority Of tie Democrat
for the adjournment, and regret we had moi
known of their so voting before, to have EN-
braced the fact in our previous article. 1t i:

statements, and when unwittine!y we err, the
