spicy debate over what was termed breach
OF the rules Of the House. Mr.. Garrett. of
tennessee, new member, in the innocence
OF his nature took for granted that he had a
right to tell the truth and say exactly what
heshought. and so in his.speech he set dow n
that Ben. Buffers son-in-law, the bogus SEN
ator from Mississippi. Adelhert Ames was "a
shoulder strapped puppy. coward. liar. pal
troon,. poor pitiful coward and a happy ad-
MIXTURE of Ruave sud fool.'' lie delivered a
norton of his speech and the rest. containing
the abnve was printed in the Globe. The vir-
tuous, loh and moral Radicals were aehast al
such a violation Of the rules. and were going
to do all sorts of things to Mr. Garrett. But
Ter very indignant at bis relative and Irotege
being so handsomely abused, got up and
while he was speaking about personal alln-
sions in dehate. Mr. Farnsworth. the deadly
enemy of Butler moved over to whore he was
and fastened his eyes on Butier's face with a
terrible look of hate-ala Buffers stare at
Senator Davis, and when he had concluded,
Mr.. Parnsuorth said. that it was necessary
to be personal occasionally to protect the in
terest Of the country land while glaring at
Butler he said,) 'swhen coward and pal
troon crept in here-the remainder of the
sentence was lost amid the ranping Of
the Speakers hammer, and Butler shriveled
up considerably under the glance ard fierce
e - &c
the rules was nuts for S. s. Cox. and he at
once made plain that older members some
times violated the rules and with the case be-
fore them, only Mr.. CARROTS speech was ex-
plunged from the Globe. as a punishment.
political farce was enacted in the Senate
yesterday. Mr.. Howe who had called Sum-
San Domingo few DAYS ago and also read
him out of the party Of high moral ideas. took
it all back yesterday morning. 1t all came
aboat bv Mr.. TIove's listening to Summers
unintelligahle harapgue about negro social
and political equal rights, and after such an
avowal of advanced ideas in Negrophobia he
came to the determination, that Sumner was
yet good Radical and he fnrgave him and
spoke few words which were intended as
political baptism, and his San Domingo sin
was washedaw and he was received into full
communion with the Radical church. Sum
ner denied being Democrat, and Howe was
so glad thereat that he wept. All is serene
again in the Radical church and Sumner is
one of them.
The Senate not only passed the House Ku-
Klux bill with all the Judiciary Committed
amendments. but added two more equally in
famous: by one of them nearly all the inteli
gent white men of the South are debarred
from the jury-box. this il the evidence of Sen
ator Robertson. of South Carolina. There will
be considerable debate over these amend
ments in the House, but they will pass any
measure no matter how monstrous its provis-
ions may be. that is political in its character.
The primary move in the next Presidential
election-the selection of place for holding
the Convention-has been thoroughly discussed
by the Democratic delegation in Congress,
and there is a very decided feeling in favor of
held in the city of their choice, st. Louis.
They claim great advantages for St. Louis
its central location, easy of access being con-
nected with every part of the country by
railroads, it is healthy, and very attractive
having numerous large and magnificent no.
tells capable of accommodating the large num-
Der of visitors who usually attend our Con-
ventions and it is claimed that this compli-
ment to ,heir section would greatly strength
en- them politically, and it would also be a
graceful recognition of the victories achieved
last fall by the Democracy of the West in
breaking the Radical column preparatory to
smashing il completely in 1872 There hav-
ing been but one National Democratic Con-
vention held, of late years, in the West it
would seem a proper tribute to them as
well as to our Democratic friends on the Pa
cifc slope. Democratic members are aware
tina, in the West will be the great struggle,
and that there the contest will be decided,
and hence their desire to assist their brethern
in the West in SO readily recognizing their
claims. Such casting aside Of personal pre-
ferences and proper action for the success of
the good cause proves that we have nothing
to fear from within bat that all is unity and
harmony which augurs so well for our sue
cess in 1872 From present indications ST.
Louis-,he redeemed city-wil be designat-
ed as the place where the Democracy will
nominate the successor of Ulysses the lst.
and the last, who viii retire to the ohscurity
from whence he was dragged by q turn of
tickle Dame Fortunes wheel.
The Democratic caucus Of members and
Senators which was held last night was very
fully attended, Senator Bayard. Chairman Of
the Comm;nee desired more time in view Of
pending legislation, in which to prepare an
address TO the people of the United States.
Ii was agreed to make most earnest and ie
ciied Imposition in the House to the Ku-klnx
hill. The address will be presentd on Mon
day.
