"WeU, we must see Brother Jousthan
abou, that"
The House to DAY completed its organ
I iza,ion, and is ready fer business. Not
so the Senate. The l6 minority resisted
every motion excep, fruitless ballots for
Speaker Occasionally, there was debate
upon "the position" in which Messrs
Lowry, M'Csudless, Turrell, Fleming,
and the old Democratic lesder-{ Judge
Cbsmpneys) took the Union side, and
Clymer and Wallace bore the LsTden Of
the Opposition. Tbe latter offered to
divide" the Offices, giving Us our first
choice. Were they in cur shoes, they
would not give Us one ofice! To chow
how extreme aud unreasonable they have
become, let ne make two allasioGs.
/ Mr. Lowry moved tie following fair
offer
"Wherea,, the Union men 10 the S.u-
ate Of Penn'a were 10 a clear majority
until spe of their number, Maj Harry
White, Senator from ludians, wss sap
tur.d by our common enemy; therefore,
"Resolved that the patriotism Of Harry
White shall rot be taken sdSsutage Of to
preven, tie complete organization Of this
body, bat that the Speaker elected at the
close OF the session ef 1868 be recognized
ss the duly elected Speaker Of the Seuste
until such tiEe as Senator White shall be
released from captivity or successor be
elected from bis Senatorial district, at
uhich time i, would be proper for the
preseu, Speaker to resign, ana that new
election for Speaker be held then
R.jectei-every Republican voting f0'
it, and every Democrat against it
/ Mr.. Conleli moved the following:
+ "Resolsed ths. the Senate, having
repes,edly decided By ballot not to change
the Speaker, 1t will now proceed with the
ordinary business Of the session"
/ Rjscted-l6 Reps for, l6 Deus
against.
Was not that ssaressonsbl."propo,i;iop?'
And what should prevent any true man
from voting for the following, proposed
By Mr.. LOWryg
"ResolEed, By the Senate, tba: the
thanks Of the loyal people Of Pennsylvania
are due asd are hereby rendered to Gen.
/ L s. GRANT, and the officers aod soldiers
serving under him, for bis series Of gal.
lant services and glorious victories result.
Ing in the liberation Of the faithful Uoion
people Of East Tennessee from . military
despotism more CALLING than ever was
that Of Great Britain"
The same l6 Reputlicans voted for,
aud the l6 Democrats ogoinst, proceeding
to the secoad reading and consideration
Of tba, resolution, upon which it Was just
as easy to say Yes, as No-if they had
fell. inclined to do so.
These men are "msking record"
even more unsatisfactory than that Of las:
year on the question Of allowing ANDREW
JOHNSON to speak in these Halls. An
old War Democrat said ".te Denoers;i:
party was dead, before but this sends it
to"-a certain warm climate, where the
bad folks are tending, and which even .
uOiversalist clergyman admitted to be a
"miiissry necessity"
