SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER Is.

The Washington correspondent of the Balt!-
more Gazette says that firm of ''Wade, Sum
ner l. Co.," was dissolved in the Senate yes
terday. The immediate cause Of the break
up between these dignataries was motion Of
Wade to take up the bill to admit Nebraska
as State Sumner, in his usual dictatoria
manner, opposed the motion, and denounced
the Constitution Of the proposed State, as
founding white mans government charg
ing Wade, with undoing one day what he had
done the day before, (reterriug to the passage
of the Negro Suffrage bill. Wade retorted that
Sumner was not (what he appeared to assune)
''the Senate, and proceeded to repudiate bis
dictation, charging him with voting for the
Constitutional amendment, which paved the
way for the admission of Tennessee, and con-
sequenty with gross Inconsistency in opposing
the present measure as if the Constitution,
with respect to suffrage, we're the same in the
matter of excluding negroes Both Senator'S
were greatly excited.

employees of that road. This was mistake
it was just the other way. The pay and sala-
RES, the Richmond Times says, were aNreauced
