Friday, Dec. %
The SENATE was engaged most of the
day In executive session. The only nota-
bic business item was the introduction,
by Mr. Davis, of bill for the organization
of territorial government in Arizona
In the HousE the whole day 8 session
was taken up by Mr.. Farnsworth in a
fierce black republican speach, to the great
dismay and horror of his friends, who
have been negotiating for south American
votes, and the great delight of the demo
Gratis, who by dint of frequent questionings,
extorted from the speaker all sorts OF
damaging admissions against the republi-
cans. The speech was the death of Sher-
mans prospects for the speakership. . At
the end of it ballot was taken, resulting
in 1913 for Sherman, and l99 for Milison
and Scattering

HoUsE.-Mr. Foule had the floor, and
proceeded to prove that the republicans
party were hypocritical in their professions
of friendship for foreigners. and that they
exalted the negroes above them.
Mr.. Farnsworth undertook 10 reply, and
then followed long conversational debate
between Farnsworth, Fouke, Logan, and
Smith of Va, in the course of which Mr..
F. admitted that the republicans in his
district were opposed TO the laws of Illi-
nois which made a difference between
whites and blacks. In the course of his
speech Mr Farnsworth also quoted, as an
offset to the Helper book, from book
called the Black Diamond an ultra pro-
slavery production, which had been en-
dorsed by some distinguished southern
names. There was much excitement and
confusion in the House during part of his
speech.
a ballot for speaker was then taken,
without resulting in an election, Sherman
still lacking four of . majority. Adjourn

Sherman speech. A vote was then taken
for speaker occupying several hours
number of members, as they voted, max
ing long explanations of the vote they
gave. Result, as usual, Sherman votes
short of an election.
Mr.. Morris, of ILL.,, referred to remark
made by him at the last session; that the
Administration would break down and
find they were carrying too much
weight. The Administration was full of
rotteness; had no more utilization with
the Democracy than darkness with light,
or virtue with vice. The President has
again thrust in our faces his Territorial
policy, and has advanced several steps
