Senator schurz Prepared 10 Bolt Grant.
There 10 no reason to doubt any longer that Sena-
Tor SChurz Will refuse to abide the denomination OF
the President by the republicans II such should be
the result Of the Philadelphia Convention. The
Senator has declared, in positive terms, to several
personal friends that he will not accept such q de-
cieiOn, but, with those who agree with MIN, viii

Chicago Relief and Amnesty in the Senate
F,anagan's acknowledgements slavery.
The Chicago Relief BILL which with amnesty shares
the " M0nsieur TonsOn's" place IN the Senate, was
again under discussion day, Mr.. Chandler having
entered motion to reconsider. After considerable
sparrlng between Logan. Carpenter and Scott with
little scOlding thrown In from The venerable Ham
lin, the last named Senator's colleague, Mr.. M0rri
claimed the floor the order of the day. giving way
briefly to Mr. Hill OF Georgia, who stated that he
wanted this Amnesty bill to pass speedily,
as there was q vacancy on the Supreme
bench Of his state, and the Governor desired
10 I'LL II with q lawyer VINO was not under
disabilities. Mr. Morrill, spoke Tor two hours, con.
fining himself TO legal analysis OF MIR. Summers
amendment, which he declared was unconstltu-
tlOnal After Mr.. Morrill, closed Nj. Flanagan, OF
Texas, rose and at once proved himself fruitful
cause OF laughter. Mr. Flanagan ls-well, he is
himself; he is uniquc-an elderly man, clad like
some decent stock farmer; ne brings the manners
and vernacular Of that grade into the Senate Cham
her. There was no argument in what he SAID
and less connection, for his sentences were
"Jerked out" and fung together rather
than uttered decently and In order. His
pronunciation is OF the most approved Southwest
ern type, for the Senator said 'Ihar," "whar,"
''YOunred States" and similar labia curlOsties
He addressed Senators familiarity, speaking Of the
dgnined senior from Massachusetts sumner"
and grave and decorous ONO Senator as 'sThur-
man." Referring to the latters denial or being
. seCessionist the Texan declared that the democ-
racy ''wOud not give stable room to any one who
was not secessiontst." He spoke another time
Of A. II. Stephens as 'the skeleton" and
thought ut was doubtful II he would ever de-" He
wanted amnesty and would vote for the Sumner
amendment on the principle that the woman took
tne man who impOrtuned her IN order to get rid OF
him. Thus the Senator proceeded, in a rambling,
disconnected manner, but with occasional touches
OF humor, which made his nonsense in part en-
durable
After ne finished Mr.. Wilson endeavored to get
the Apportionment bill taken up. 1t was finally
ordered for tomorrow, while amnesty was post
pOned until Monday
There Is much concurrent evidence that the move
ment to gain large subsidies ana government
patronage for Pacific steam routes has called In to
iIs aid religious philanthropy and the national
thirst for territory. The junior Senator from
Massachusetts, was made use Of In the dull morning
hour OF the Senate to-day 10 Introduce bill, pun
ishing with fine ana Imprisonment American clti-
Gems who engage in the Kidnapping and de-
porting Of natives from the South Sea
Islands. The Senator has been made to
believe that an active slave trade Is
carried on in the Friendly, Solomon, Papuan and
Navigator groups OF islands and the French colony
OF New Caledonia and the English settlements at
Queensland, and that American ships and citizens
are engaged IN the unh0ly trafilc All this may be
tue but 1t Is more certain that spurred on by the
LOBBY interests without knowing II, he has passed
over the infamous and very recent importation Of
Africans and the enslavement OF coolies under
Spanish rule in Cuba TO suppress q slave
trafhc In the Pacific OF which he has
no positive knowledge, and which is
believed 70 be beyond the practical reach OF his bill
The main object, however, would be accomplished
by the passage VI the bill. as attention would be
thus drawn to group OF Islands which the
steamship lobby has already gained footing,
which 1t could turn 10 wonderfully profitable ac-
count IN the event Of the annexation Of the group
to the United States. For this step attempts are
being made to prepare the public and Congress
slonal mind by petitions got up TO order, In which
the United States beseeched to take possession
or 5000 square miles Of territory Inhabited by 80
copper-coo Christians exclusive Of foreign bar

OF flowers General Butler by the grateful ladies
whose cause he bravely presented yesterday
This presentation was made In the LOBBY instead Of
being made part OF legislative proceedings
After the flowers were given TO him outside they
were sent into the hall ana placed upon his desk
and when the General made hls appearance he wa
not crowned as heroes and poets were OF old, witt
cnapiet upon his head, but a bouquet Of rar
exoics was worn upon his coat lapel, which
taken with the prolusion OF flowers upon his desk
gave him a decidedly poetic appearance.
The morning hour was consumed In the discus
sion Of the Educational bill, some OF the provIsloa
OF which meet with decided opposition from tn
dcmocrats Mr.. H0ar made a Speech earnestly de
tending the bill and aroused the wrath Of MI
Beck, OF Kentucky, by charging that the demo
cratic party was responsible tor the ignorance
poverty and crime which exist at the South
bringing the State OF Kentucky Tut
unlucky prominence. Mr.. Beck retorte
that q great majority or those ignorant people un
dcrstood and practised the constitution better thai
the gentleman from Massachusetts
The morning hour expired pending the discus
sion and the bill went over. Considerable feein
was eliciled and sharp debate had between Mi
Poland, OF Vermont and Mr.. Beck, concerning
point OF order raised by the last named gentleman
IN regard TO a resolution submitted by the forme
from the Committee on the Insnrrectonary States
This resolution was substitute lor two resolutions
