Another session of deep interest. accom-
panied with occasional scenes of excite
ment. took place In the, Senate this after
noon. Shortly after the Senate convened
Mr., Lane. of Kansas, offered joint resolu-
tion for the admission OF the States lately
In rebellion, embodying the proposition
suggested by the President In his letter of
August 10, addressed to Governor Sharkey,
of Mississippi.
The conditions laid down rs TO the terms
of admission of the representatives of these
States are the reputation of the rebel debt,
a guarantee Of the Federal debt, annulling
the ordinance of secession. and qualified
suffrage to the colored people.
Upon the discussion of this resolution.
Senators Lane an6 Wade INDUCED to their
hearts content IN elimination and recrm-
lnation, with somewhat severe personall-
ties, and great deal of ge-hammering
and tomahawk style of oratory.
To Mr.. Wade had been accorded hereto
fore the undisputed leadership in this mus
cular style of defamation, but he came
near losing his laurels to-day in the contest
with Lane, who came as near up to, as the
case may be. the Wade standard. They had
IL nip and tuck, and at the close it was hard
to determine who had the best of il. ex-
cept In the premises upon which the two
gladiatorial orators stood.
Mr.. Lane earnestly sustained the Presi-
dents policy, and announced that hence
forth he should be found by his side, de-
Tending him from the onslaught of Mr.
Wade; while the latter reiterated the sew
eral naughty things he said yesterday and
recently about the President and those who
supported him.
At about three o'clock the Civil Rights
Bill was called up, and Mr. Doolittle made
a forcible speech of some length, and gave
his views in favor Of the measure.
During the progress of his speech II was
whispered around that Senator Morgan,
who had been generally counted upon as
one of those who would sustain the veto.
had stated that he should vote for the bill.
This news struck CONSERVATION among the
friends of the veto who had confidently re-
lied upon seventeen votes, including Mr..
Morgan. and which until to-day, was the
estimate Of all persons ut all advised of the
facts. Mr.. Dixon learning Mr.. Morgan's
position and knowing, therefore, that his
vote would not save the veto, determined
not to risk his health by coming out of his
house. Mr.. Wright was present.
Some two hours were spent after Mr..
Doolittle concluded his speech, In general
discussion by Senators McDougall, Sauls-
bury and Davis, the latter making, with
emphasis, the following announcement:
''Pass your Freedmen's Bureau Bill and
enemy of your Government, and will spend
the feeble remnant of my life in efforts TO
overthrow It,"
About half-past six o'clock the presiding
officer called for the vote upon the ques-
ton, shall the bill pass, the objection of the |
President to the same Notwithstanding. |
lIereut the vast assembly was hushed In |
breathless attention.
The result now depended upon the re-
sponse of Mr.. Morgan. and us the Clerk |
down the list and approached |
the name of that Senator, all eyes and ears |
were turned toward him, and when in re- |
sponse to the call of his name he answered |
yes, a tremendous round of applause, min
gled with exclamations, went up from the |
galleries.
The Clerk proceeded with the call and d. |
rectly the President announced that by |
vote of thirty-three to fifteen the bill had |
passed, and here again thunders of applause
broke forth, some of the Senators Joining, |
and Mr. Wade especially making vigorous |
of delight.
The following was the vote;
Yeas-Messrs Anthony, Brown Chandler,
Clark. Conness. Cragin, Cresswell, Ed |
munds, Fessenden, Foster Grimes. Harris
Henderson, Howard, Howe, Kirkwood,
Poland Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman,
Spragne. Stewart Sumner, Trumbull,
Wade, Wiley, Williams, Wilson, Yates-33.
Nays-Messrs Buckalew, Cowan. Davis,
Doolittle. Guthrie, Hendricks. johnson,
Lane of Kansas, McDougal, Nesmith, Nor
.on, Riddle. salisbury, Van Wrinkle,
Absent-Mr. Dixon.
A few members of Congress then upon the
ioor attempted to shake the hand of Sena-
,or Morgan, but that gentleman shook his
nead disapproyingly, and declined TO re-
,eive their congratulations.
Upon motion of Mr.. Trumbull the pass
lge of the bill was directed to be certified
o the House, and the Senate adjourned.
The President was advised this morning
hat MIR. Morgan would vote for the bill,
md that, so far as the Senate was con-
'erned, the veto would not be sustained.
