WASHINGTON, March 7

w ASHlNGION, MdiCh u
SENArE.-Mr Lane, of Kansas, asked
to present the credentials of Fishbact
and Baxter, as Senators from Arkansas.
Mr.. Howard, of Michigan, objected.
Mr.. Conncss said Mr.. Lane was too per
sistent in trying to admit them rs Sena-
tors, and also said that Mr.. Fishback was
one Of the leaders in taking Arkansas
out Of the Union.
Mr.. Lane was indignant that Mr.. Con
ness should attempt to lecture him, and
hurled back the imputation of the gen
tleman into his teeth. Those who were
opposed to the admission Of the Arkansas
Senators used the same kind of language
that Butler, Mason, Hunter and other Sc
cessionists did when Kansas was here
under the Topeka Constitution, which
saved Kansas to Freedom.
Mr. Pomeroy thought the credentials
ought to be referred, so all the facts
could he enquired into.
Further debate was arrested by mo-
ton of Mr.. Fessenden to go into eXecu-
tive session, which was agreed TO.
After short time spent therein the
Senate adjourned.

Sherman's forces at Wilmington, or even
that a junction was being effected with
Gen Schofeld's army. Gen. Schotield,

met with frequent resistance from prowl-

1t was anticipated that General Terry
