A Radical Row
A heated debate sprung up in the
Senate this morning on the passage Of
the resolution to adjourn on the 4th of
July. FrE
Mr.. Drake severely denounced the
Republican Senators for voting with
the Democrats.
Mr.. Cameron retOrted sharply, and
Mr.. Upton responded somewhat
vehemently to Mr.. Drake; and,
among other things said, there was
too much attempting to dragOOn the
Senators on this floor. The editor of
the Washington Chronicle had been
all winter engaged in this business,
and threatening Senators with the
party whip-lash. This practice of the
Chronicle, and Of several Senators on
this floor, had become UNANIMOUSLY
OdiOus, and he denounced it as such.
He was called to order for using un-
parliamentary language. Pending the
discussion, the morning hour expired.
