Tic Senate passed, on Saturday, the con-
i rtyrc ccntiseation bill, by tventy-scyen
10 t}ir;.c1, giving the measure the splcn-
did maiority OF more than wothirds.
Among the nays sre the names Of Brown
ing and CoWan. Par no5i!e .5yatrum :
Browning OF Illinois voting With traitors
and sc,ni-scccssionists, such rs Powell,
salisbury and Stark The lowest depth
Of i1fanly has now been reached.
Pity that Gov. Yates, whose proclamation
has stirred the deepest depths Of patriotic
emotion from Cairo 10 Chicago, should
have been SO woiully deceived III his man.
il is some consolation al least that his days
orc numbered. If we must have Brown
sns in the Senate, let such '4dre-on-tAe-rcar"
seccsh rs the Chicago Times be guilty Of
lin.
The bill. though III some few particulars
got all that could have been desired, if
crtrgct;cally enforced, will enable the gov
crnucut TO put dow the rebellion. The first
part Of it defines the punishment against
the crime Of treason anu appears to he
intended to apply to any future as well as to
tnc p1cscnt rebellion. Such i law should
lavc been placed on The statutes Of the
nation half g century ago; but such was
