THE CIVIL RIGHTS BuL AND TIE VETO
The passage of the Civil Rights bill over 'the
Veto to-day, and the excitement before and aier,
has been such as to absorb nearly all else. The
opening of the debate by Kansas Lane soon
showed that he had taken bis final position,
although he had 10 leier than last night declared
he would vote for tho bill. Senator Wade handled
him without gloves, and he soon Withdrew from
the unequal CONTEXT. The result now seemed
doubtful. About o'clock p. H., heavy shower
fell and the dar,pness caused thereby at once
precluded the probability Of Senator Dixon being
able to leave his room. This soon became kn own,
and all hope Of sustaining the veto was at once
abandoned. Senator Wright had been brOugbt
10 the Senate to-day for the first time, but he soon
retired to side room Al about p IN, it vas ru-
mored that Senator Morgan would vote for the bill,
and the Democrats freely conceded that the vets
could not be protected. At 4 p. m, Mr. Toolitne
having closed lis defense of his coarse, IL
winch nc uttIditU Uc suOllu uOb tho bNEA'
lature Of his State but would welcome political
retirement with pleasure IA soon as ho could see
the States all book in places, TO the surp.i Of
many made no defense of the veto, AM all seemed
ready for a vote. Garrule1s Davis got the floor
and made a two hours speech, nearly emptying the
galleries and the floor. At p. IN, the House hav-
,bo cd he
Senate, and on Davis finally concluding with his
threats that if such legislation this bill and the
Freedmen's Bureau bill were TO be passed he
would do all he could to destroy the Government
but his threats frightened no one), a dozen
Senators asked for the question, but NI. Sauls-
bury rose to pour cut his deIunciatons Of Con-
sress. and TO boast that in Delaware the law
could not DO executed, that his people
would trample upon it, and that the
Radical Senators were not only disunionists,
but revolutionists, again tho question was called
for. when Mr.. Yates remarked that he hoped the
Senate would 20 on and do their duty. But AIr.
MeDoueall must waste more time, But unlike De-
Wis he never talks very long, and at 6:i5 p. IN. the
roll.can commenced. When the name of Mr. MOI
gan was called and he voted /" aye, The galleries
began to applaud, but the Chair promptly sup
pressed it., and the call went on. The new Senator
from Vermont, Mr.. Edmunds, was not in when his
name was called, but just before the result was an
he came in, and voted AYE" Then the
Chair announced tho result, SO to l5 and the gal
leries broke out in loud cheers and applause They
were ordered to be cleared, but the cheering went
On. until the audience were gone There seemed
to be no Kissing, no dissenting voices; all seemed
glo-iously happy over the result. The Senate soon
adjourned, and many crowded around the Senators
TO COL gratulate them on their triumph.
