offered and advocated an amend-
mentto require its consideration by commit-
tee before a resolution could be taken upon
it by the Senate.-Upon the expiration Of
the morning hour the Senate resumed con-
sideration of the unfinished business of yes
terday, being the resolution of Summer on
San Domingo. Howe continued his reply to
summer, and defended the course of the
President. He contended that, instead of
attempting to sell his country Baez had fur
nished an example worthy OF imitation. In
conclusion, he contended hat the mission of
the Republican party was not ended, and he
would beseech the man who would engage IN
its destruction to. take his position with the
common enemy, and moi, Judas like, stab IN
the back the party to which he prcfesseds to
belong. Schurz next obtained the floor, and
said he did not think the report of the Com
mission which had just returned from a
pleasant jaunt TO San Domingo would prove
very Influential, either in the Senate or be-
fore the country, for he thought the treaty
had already been effectually disposed Of. The
Senator from Wisconsin (Howe) had dis
played wonderful knowledge of ancient and
modern history, and, not content with de-
stroying Cesar, Cassius, and prominent men
of our own times, he had mercilessly used
his Ratchet upon the Senator from Massa-
cbusetts. If it was proven that orders had
been issued to our naval commanders in
gross violation of the Constitution, then
something more than mere rhetorical. flour
ishes about Gen. Grants services, or about
tary of the Navygw would be- required tQSan-
swer the proof. The fact wasy President
Grant had fallen into The mistake that he
was the United States of America. An ami
mated and long colloquy here ensued be-
tween SEIZURE and Morton, and before it was
concluded, the Senate went into Executive
session, and at slid, adjourned. NBAR %
