Having in this phrase, compressed
The whole argument into the smallest
possible compass, Wade went on roast
ing the Democracy about their "nigger
bill, " and satisfying Toombs that he
(Wade) was not much frightenod,s how
ever it might be with him CToombs);
and then he handed over the fght to
Fessenden
Mr. Fessonden was more deliberate
Indeed, he was persistently calm and
provokingly cool. He told Mr.. Toombs
that Republicans did not skulk nor
shiver on the Cuba question; but only
meant by this course to take their own
time and teach gentlemen that the Sen.
ate was to be governed by its own rules,
and not by the DEGREES Of a party eau
Gus, and that they should permit the
vote to be taken on the bill when they
had said all they wished TO on the sub
ject, and not one moment sooner.
All this time Seward sat quietly 10 his
chair. Those accustomed to read bis
thoughts on his face, knew he was bid
ing his opportunity to reply. Finally,
he took the floor. He never spoke Of
the Senator from Georgia. He turned
his back somewhat toward him, with
mingled air Of dignity and contempt
He drew his own chair aside, pushed
Wilson's out of the way, stepped back a
pace or so, shook Of tramels, forgot
Blair's rhetoric, Campbells rhetoric,
Stewards rhetoric, calmly defined the
different kinds Of courage, said he hoped
he had enough to serve his purpose as a
Senator and man. and then rose with
his theme contrasting in a few glowing
words the benefeeut objects of the
Homestead bill, and, alluding to the
Presidents efforts to clutch the purse
and the sword, denounced him in severe
but strictly parliamentary language, for
attempting thus to divert the public
mind from the issues which his Kansas
and financial policies had precipitated
upon the country, and concluded by
comparing, in a few eloquent sentences,
the principle which would give land and
homes to freedom and free laborers,
with that which would extend and
strengthen the crime of human bond
age among men.
As he pronounced the closing words,
he proudly turned his back upon the
Chair, drew out his cigar case and walk
ed into the adjoining cloak.room.
After anOthershOrt skirmsh on points
of order, Toombs replied to Seward
He tried to abuse him. But it was not
the vituperation of a Senator. 1t was
the rawlings of drayman on the dock,
the curshing of common drab in a dir.
ty alley.
In the midst of this gust of passion,
the fre-eater might be seen shaking his
clenched fist and curly locks at the New
York Senator, who was leaning against
the doorway of the cloak-room, quietly
smoking his cigar and calmly eyeing
Toombs. 1t was a taJicau indeed.

convicted of murder in the second degree, ta-
king the life of Henry Berling, was brought
into Court, and motion for n new trial on his
behalf was argued by Mr.. Hendricks. 1t was

ming in lengthened argument also supported

The motion was overruled.
The prisoner on being asked what he had Il
say why sentence should not be passed, re-
marked that he had got into the trouble by
doing what he had seen many respectable per
sons, some of them in high positions, do also
getting little drunk sometimes.
The Court passed sentence of Imprisonment
for life.
