mingo. schurz took IL up where Sumner left 1t yeS
| terdav. and proceeded to turn the guns OF the
| opposition fully upon themselves. First OF all
ne criticised with great effect the authorities
relied upon-namely, John Tyler and John G. Cal.
houn. The very mention OF the names seemed to
arouse general feeling OF disgust, especially among
the old whigs and anti-slavery leaders OF the Sem
ate. 1t was not, however, until Schurz charged
that even Tyler and Calhoun were ashamed OF the
company to which they had been introduced that the
Presidents friends became 80 excited and enraged
that they could not forbear interrupting him. Nor
ton, Stewart. Conkling and Carpenter all spoke at
once. zone at time, gentlemen" said
Schurz. 81 will answer all or you; but one at
time, you please" Norton or course was the
leader. Stewart asked some FOOLISH question about
the Mexican war. but Schurz did not pay
any attention to 1t. The point the Pres.
dents friends wanted to make was that pend
ing the negotiations for the annexation OF Texas
President Tyler, under tho advice OF his Secretary
OF State, John q. Calhoun, had sent armed force
there to prevent the Mexcans from interfering,
which resulted IN war with Mexico.
While stewart and Morton were wrangling with
Schurz upon this point Mr. Thurman or Ohio. ap-
peared In the rear OF Stewards seat and asked Schurz
the date OF the message of President Tyler from
which he had quoted. Schurz replied promptly,
whereupon Thurman said that for some time before
there was any war between Mexico ana the United
States Texas was represented In Congress.
This was centre shot, highly appreciated by the
spectators. ana Stewart sat down as II he had
been struck by lightning. That was the last attempt
he made to interrupt Mr.. Schurz. Morton persisted
In asserting that the OF Texas was parallel to
that of ST. Domingo, whereupon Schurz gave him up
In disgust stating that he had hope of penetrating
the brain OF the Senator from Indiana When Schurz

review the letter Of Secretary Robson he sald If 1t
was agreeable to the Senate, he would give way for
a motion to 90 into executive session. Poor
Stewart, who had been so thoroughly senced by
Thurman, insisted that Scnurz should be compelled
to 60 on or abandon the floor; but Stewart was
again ruled out, and motion TO 50 into executive
session prevailed. Schu~n Intends tomorrow to
