Mr.. CLYNER obtainEd leave of the Senate
TO make statement. as follows:
II ia perfectly evident, sir. that as this Senate
an organization. We are likely to remain here
at this rate till the dog days. That Ia neither
desirable on the score of personal convenience
or public policy. No man can be oreanxious
than the Senator'S with whom Ihsve the honor
to act politically in bringing this state of affairs
TO Bome amicable conclusion. We are prepared
therefore, sir, to say to this Senate deliberately
that fer the purpose of effecting an organiza-
tion, and In order that the legislation of the
State may proceed, we are willing to tender
to tho other side of this chamber as q compro-
mise of the difficulties existing between Us. this
arrangement: That they fhall select, first. any
efice within the gift of this Senate, we to &C.
lect the second, they the third and so on to the
end of the list We make this offer, ,trustir that
its fairness will commend IL TO tho Judgment
Of this Senate, as 1t certainly will commend it.
self to the judgment Of the people Of this State.
We arc here 16 to l6 on this floor. 1t is no
fault of this eide of tho Chamber that such .
state of affairs exists. It is true that one Sen.
ator is absent. II Is true, II We are to believe
the organs of the Republican party. If we are
to believe Senators on this floor and officers of
this Senate. that Nsjor WHITE is no longer q
member of this body, having resigned weeks
ago. II these statements are true. that gentle
man is no longer q member of the Senate of
And hold that It was the duty
Of those who controlled the affaiB of this Sem
ate, who were its officers, to have ordered an
election, and to have had his successor here;
aud If We effect no organization under present
circumstances the responsibility must lie upon
them. -
Now, sir. for the sake of arriving ct . just
and amicAble arrangement, We have offered the
AXE of the interests of the State, the proposi
Ion will be accepted.

Mr.. LOWRY. rise for the purpOssof saying
10 the Senate that AN entirely unaware that
the rusignation of Ssnator WRIrs y here. II
know nothing Of the kind; havs never seen
anything which would lead me to believe any
thing of the kind. would ask the Speaker II
be has any knowledge on the subject.
The SPEAKER. In reply to the question of
the Senator from Erie, the Speaker S0uld state
that he he's not the slightest knowledge Of the
resiGuation Of the Senator from Indiana. He
has certainly received no officiss knowledge on
that matter nor does he individually suppose
that the resignation has been rendered.
Mr.. LOWRY. For my own part, Mr.. Speaker,
I do not think that any person has the resigna-
ti0n Of Senator WHITE. And / would Inform
the Senator from Berks that If he is really de-
sirous Of organizing this body and proceeding
to business he can by that means have HAIRY
WaIrs back here, - believe, within the next
tan dsys. Il is veIl known to the Senate and
to the people of Pennsylvanis that some time
ago Major from the rebel army BY the name
Of Jones applied to tho authorities at Washing
ton saying that he could procure the release Of
HARlY WHrE In exchange for himself. The
authorities, % sm informed and believe, took
his parole and sent him to Richmond. He vent
there and was informed by the rebel authorities
that he, Major Jones, had no vote In the Senate
of Pennsylvania. but that Major WHITE had,
and that the Union party Of Pennsylvsnis
would be disorgAnizsd 10 case Major WHITE was
retained. Consequently Mr.. Jones was sent
back to Washington.
Nov, Senators cannot blink this question.
JET. Davis understands the importance of keep
ing Senator WHITE in prison, Of con6ning him 20
closely that II, perhaps, that Senator desired to
tender his resignation he could not write II,
there Ia Senator WHITE in prison and every
vote given here by the Senator from Berl0 is
given to keep him where he Ia, because HAlHY
Wnn would have been homo long ago bad Il
not been that JEFF Davis considered his release
OF Importance to the cause of the Union.
Mr.. DONOVAN. rise to ask the Senator Q
question. Does the Senator from Erie wish to
bs understood q aying that tho authorities at
Richmond look upon the Republican party Of
Pennsylvania as the Union party?
Mr.. LOWRY. There Ia no Union party ex-
cspt tho Republican party and no Republican
PARTY except tho Union party 10 this country.
do not desire to get into an angry discussion
