REAPPEARANCE OF THE RICHMOND EX-
NINER
The Richmond ErGnainer has reap
peared today. 1t says nothing of the
CAUSES of its suppression. 1t contains a
three-column editorial in support of the
Presidents veto Of the Freedmen's Bureau
bill.
BOOK PUBLISHERS ASKING PROTECTION.
The Ways and Means Committee to-
day heard a large number of book pub
fishers who are DESTROYS of having an in
creased duty placed on foreign books.
They claim that the present internal revc-
nue. tax is so heavy that it affords them no
protection whatever against foreign books.
They therefore ask the Committee to so
adjust the taxation as to put them on
equality with foreign publishers.
THE PRESIDENTS AUX PAS
Some of the Presidents friends are to-
day endeavoring to palliate the Presidents
performance yesterday on the ground that
he was under the influence ssof liquor;
this, however, is without foundation; the
President, according to the accounts given
by the most trustworthy witnesses, was
entirely sober when he delivered his
speech. The apology is not available in
this instance.
THE PRICE OF SENATOR'S.
1t is currently reported that the price
paid for votes and hackers is as follows:
Dixon, of Connecticut, is to have the dis
pensing Of patronage in the wooden nut
meg State; Morgan, of New York, to
control the appointment of the successor
to Preston King, and the general appor-
tionment of Federal pap in the Empire
State; DOolittle and Norton to dole it out
to the faithful of the Northwest, while to
Jim Lane is given up the plumber of the
Great West. Governor Dennison is to
control the patronage Of Ohio, and it is
said, this morning, that he will succeed
Mr.. Harlan in the Interior Department.
THE WINTER DAvI CEREMONIES.
There was an immense o~utpouring of
the people to witness the memorial SER
vices, at the Capitol, in homer of the late
Henry Winter Davis, and to attend the
mass meeting to sustain the President.
ton and McCulloch were the only digni-
besides Senators and Representatives.
The President and the Diplomatic Corps,
and the rest of tho Cabinet, were absent.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
After the expiration of the morning
hour Senator Fessenden called up the con-
current resolution passed by the House on
Tuesday last. Mr.. Sherman objected to
its immediate consideration on the ground
that, after the occurrences Of yesterday,
Senators might be laboring under unusual
excitement. 1t was inferred by some that
Mr.. Sherman was opposed to the resolu-
ton, but Senators who may be presumed
to be well informed believe that Mr.. Sher-
man will vote with the majority. The
resolution was taken up, and Mr.. Fessen-
den delivered a magnificent speech in
favor of it, giving also his views on the
general subject of reconstruction at length.
While he was speaking, Mr.. Stevens en-
the Senate Chamber and took his
;eat side by side with Mr.. Sumner. When
he two men who yesterday had been des-
by the President as his enemies,
and by implication accused of a desire of
issassinating him, there was a general
.witter in the galleries, and it was evident
here would have been an 'outburst of APP
.olause, had not the Senate just passed Il
'%esolution that those who INDUCED in such
demonstrations should be arrested.
THE PRESIDENTS PEEcH
Most of the reports of the Presidents
peech sent abroad were carefully dressed
p so as not to be too offensive to the SEN
Utilities of decent people. The most ac-
urate account is published by the WASH
ngton Chronicle, but even this does not
ONE up to the truth. 1t does not contain
many interruptions by men among :
he crowd, such as "Give it to them, :
indy" Hit them again, Mr.. President" !
Give them hell, Andy" and similar ex-
The Presidents manner was !
cry violent; he CRASHED his teeth, and {
'oke in a loud voice, and in Il boisterous \
tanner; the whole meeting had the char
;ter of a Tammany Hall performance on I
night before election. 1t is said that the !
resident is really possessed with the idea q
being in danger of assassination, and
lat this idea is disturbing his brain very
,nsiderably. Of course, this President
hallucination is creating much amuse-
ent in Congressional circles, for the idea 7
Messrs. Stevens, Sumner, and Wen 1
Phillips, should be conspiring for the {,
e idents assassination Is looked. upon as b
supremely childish as to modify the i'll s
mpef, which otherwise the hysteric re- d
arks of the President would have ex-
ted. :,
VOORHEES, OUsTED. h
The House was occupied wholly TO day a
the voorhees, and Washburne cleo
IN case. Colonel Washburne appeared l.
the Chamber and made a speech in his L.
IN behalf. During the debate, some e.
ing was said about Voorhees, and the =,
of the Golden Circle, and the q,
rehase of arms and ammunition for dis a,
Tal purposes. Voorhees, denied the n
'ries, and became quite excited therea- Ii,
ut. In his closing speech on the case, -
'orhees attempted to make a point in oS
own favor by charging that the Com W.
ttee on Elections had at first voted by tb
to one in his favor, and then changed n,
III report. He rested his allegation on ~,
newspaper paragraph. Mr.. Dawes, ~
airman of the Committee, by a very ~,
llful cross-questioning of Voorhees, and
friends, brought out the fact that Mr..
nuel Marshall. of Illinois, a member Be
the Committee, had been guilty of re. for
ling the secrets of the Committee to of
without leave, and in gross VIC ito
on of the rules of the House. Mar the
Il made a very humble apology to the EN-
use for his conduct. Mr.. Dawes duo
out the further fact that the vote
ded to was an informal one, taken be-
the case was fully Investigated. The
Use, after hearing all the facts and ar y
tents, ousted Voorhees, and gave the ur
to Washburne, by a vote of 90 to 81. Re-,
