Senator Anthony was permitted by the Senate Thursday to deliver defence of the Rhode Island firm, Messrs. Brown & Ives, who were so severely assailed by Senator Sprague in one of his recent extraordinary speeches. Senator Anthony was quite se- were on his colleague, whom he charged with islander and calumny. We presume that Senator Sprague will demand the privilege of making Ireply. But 1t must be remembered that this is an extra or Ex- ecutive Session of the Senate, called for special business, and that general debate is not in order. The two Senators, therefore will have to take the newspapers or what ia better, give up the dispute over a matter which should never have been brought be. fore the country--csrtainly not before, tho Senate. --N.
