Trunbull in pitched bsttle On the 1oor Of the
Serate. BON we're excited snd Angty, but Trun- |
bull had the evidence, while sumner had merely
obtuIRsttop, and the former Was able, documents

companion IN oppoElog Vlfgl1io was drunken
fellow NAMED cDal1es L. Porter. who had been
nn6aLce IN the city Of Norfolk and VAS dtsuissed
tfom the army, though now he claimed to be d
member Of ConglesR. Sumner made this matter
worse BY trying 70 retort upon GoycYnor Walker.

end, and Morton made one OF those ponderous,
blacksm1tny speeches which cannot be sald to
