Honors to the Late Senator Foot

On Thursday Of last week, eulogies on
the late Senator Foot were delivered in
both Houses of Congress, and in point of
ability are said TO surpass those on any
former similar occasion, and show the es-
timation in which the departed statesman
was held by his associates of all parties.
Addresses were made by Senators Poland
and Edmunds, and Representatives Nor
rill and Woodbridge of this State, Sum
ner, Fessenden. Banks, Washburne, Daw-
son and johnson. Mr.. Sumner commence
ed his address as follows:
Mr.. President, there is truce in this
Chamber. The antagonism of debate is
hushed. The echoes of conflict have died
away. The white flag is flying. From
opposite camps we come together to bury
the dead. 1t is Senator that we bury,
not soldier.
This is the second time during the pres
cnt session that we have been called to
mourn distinguished Senator from Yer
mont. 1t was much TO bear such loss
once. lis renewal now after SO brief Pc
Rod is calamity without precedent in the
history of the Senate. No State before
u has ever lost two Sanafors naar -tosaih-
err"
Mr.. Morrill, in bis address related the
following interesting incident:
g He was man Of courage. When he
served in this House, belonging to the old
Wing party, the great, radical abolitionist
from Ohio, Ashtabnla district, was also a
member. Anti-slavery sentiments in those
days found little favor anywhere, and here
encountered fieicest hate and frequent vi
olence on the part of slaye-holding repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Giddings once told me
that upon one occasion, when he had ut
tered some unwelcome truth about the in
stilution Of barbarous memory, one of
those chivalric representatives rushed to-
ward him, evidently bent on mischief, and
that Foot At once sprang at his side, ready
to meet the aggressor. The promptness
Of this action and the firm front of Mr..
Foot awed the would-be assassin, and he
retired to his seat. Nobody, said Mr..
Giddings, could doubt the meaning Of one
or the other.

Why THE TENNESSEE CoNGREssMEN
HAVE NOT BEEN ADMITTED The follow
ing reason why the Tennessee Congress
men elect have not been admitted TO their
seats, was stated by one Of their own num-
Der, Hon. b. w. Stokes, M. c. elect from
that State, in speech al a Union meeting
in Connecticut -
Why, then, are these States not adj
miited? Because they have not complied
with the Presidents own requirements
But Tennessee has: why is she not adj
miited? l will tell you. Congress asked
for evidence as to these States. 1t asked
for the proclamations, constitutions. docu-
ments, laws. The President never sent
them to Congress until March. But mean
while it had been gathering proof from
other quarters, and at length it was just
ready to admit Tennessee. Then one
branch ofthe Legislature was disorganized,
and the rebel element, not being willing to
submit to the rule of the majority, sought
10 break up and destroy the Government.
They left the House without quorum,
and it is still without a quordm. And l
saw that while the Government was in
that condition, there is not man OF you
who would think that State should be rec
ognized. We therefore do not complain
of the delay. We know that admission
now would destroy the Union element OF
these States. Congress is doing right IN
holding them back. When-the rebel ar
mics first surrendered, there was every
where disposition toward loyalty, but
stand here tonight TO say that there is now
bitter feeling as deep and bitter toward
the Union men of the South, as there ev-
er was IN 1860 or 1861. And the facts
have proved tina, Congress, in its cool and
deliberate treatment of the matter, de-
serves the thanks of all Union men in
giving opportunity for these rebels to show
their LANDS. Time will show that Con-
eress was right. Bat all these things viii

piled that he was not aware Of his presence
