Mr.. Trumbull criticised the kuklux and cleo
ton acts OF Congress as encroachiny on the
Liberties OF the people, and az designed for par
uzan purposes, and said nj nority of the Sen
ate had by caucus appliances succeeded in
forcing through political measures against the
will Of the majority.
Mr.. Morrill, Of VT. accused Mr.. TrumbulI OF
takts against ume.
Mir. Trumbull said be was talking in favor Of
free speech.
Mr.. Sherman said the proposition 10 limit de-
lleDflca! nm ~ 4
20 two years since, when the tariff bill was IN.
Tie said the purpose OF Dir. Sumner ami an
other Senator TO make long political
speeches on the tariff bill, and that was the
reason Of the objection made by Mr.. Sumner.
The Senate had had enough OF this
wRANGLING OVER OLD DEAD ISSUES,
and he (MT. s. was willing 10 20 before the
country on the issue, if Senators here would ia
sist upon tTihing with the business interests OF
the people i'm the attempt to revive old political
questions. The Senator (Mr. TrumballD had
set the example now OF making political
speech, and ii he continued in this strain OF re-
mark, he lMr. s. warned him that other Sena-
tors would follow his example, and there would
then be an end of adjournment, and the Presi-
dental campaign would then be fought on this
hoor. But any Senator who would precipitate
such consequence as this, would assume a
FEARFUL responsibility. He (Mr. 81 was now
willing 10 modify his resolution, and limit the
debate merely as TO amendments. Ii Mr.. Sum
ner wanted TO make a speech on the French
arms question, he was willing, if that Senator
saw lit TO afford him theOppOrtunity, and also TO
give the same opportunity to the members Of
the trench arms com mlttee.
Mr. Sumner (whO had been absent from the
chamber) said Mr.. Sherman was entirely mis-
taken a. to his purpose 70 make a political
speech on the tariff bill. He had no such inteu-
ten. far from il, unless be was forced TO II by
the action OF the Senate. A the subject OF the
French arms investigation had been alluded to-
he would repeat what he had said before. Ia
that report his friend from Missouri (Nr.
Sehurz) and himself had been aSsailed i'm an
unprecedented manner, and he had asked that
an evening be set on which they could have the
opportunity TO make a reply.
After some further discussion, IL was agreed
informally by unanimous consent that debate
IN amendments to the tariff bill shall be limit
ed 10 five minutes for each Senator, AMI all
amendments not geru3De TO the subject At
ter shall be excluded.
The House resolution to adjourn on Monday,
