same crowds that fllgd the Senate galleries yesterday
came again to-day.
Mr Morton devoted the greater part OF MS speech 10

lo pnder suspicion until an explanation is made
one very funny scene which occurred during Nir Nor
toms speech grew out Of question which he put to Mr.
slnurg whether he hal. during the lest fifteen months,
aver voted with the Republican party in the Senate.
M schurz reminded him Of the Amnesty bill recon-
yepded y the President in his Message, aud which the
Senator from Indiana had helped TO XIII with amendments
Enough afer It amended ne had not voted he had
spoken fcr t and thus proved himself better Admins
sraon Senator than Morton Mr. Morton then asked for
snotber Republican vote aud NIr Scnur replied " "Cit
Service Reform which hrought utter confusion to Mr
HOTton.

Bnt Mr schurz crushed his calumniator with single
sentence: III did anything, yesterday. that looked
like struttine beg the senator's pardon, for do not
