The Presidents friends, who have persistently op
posed Amnesty ever since the beginning OF the present
session. are happy tonight for they have secured not
only the defeat OF the Amnesty bill but also Of Mr.
Summers Civil Rights bill, which most OF them sup
ported not for any love OF IT, but rider to sink Am
ncsty. Debate began this morning on an amendment
offered by Senator Cole prevent the naturalization OF
Chinese; of course Senator Nye had to ego for
that heather Chinee," and Carpenter raised
laugh at Nye's expense, by reminding the Sen
alto that tho family Of the gentleman from
Nevada and the Chinese did not sustain cordial rela-
tons with each other. This amendment, and several
others OF like import, voted down by large MAORI
ties. When tho Senate reached vote on Mr.. Summers
amendment tho interest In tho chamber was intense;
the amendment had lost the support OF the Pacific coast
Senators because their anChnese amendments had not
been agreed to- and several other Republicans could not
honestly support IT, for the that they believed
that 1t not warranted by the Constitution. When the
vote announced 1t stood 2s in favor and IS against
the amendment. dozen Senator's gathered about
the desk Of the Clerk and the Vice Presidents table, ana
there was GREATNESS silence when Mr. Coax rose' as
his vote decided the fate OF the Amnesty bill He sald
that without approving all the provisions OF the amend
ment he should for 1t whole. The colored peo-
pie the galleries could not restrain their Joy and
capped their hands, one two shouting Hurrah" or
course, the applause Immediately hushed and the
friends OF Amnesty went back to their seats dsappont
ed. The temper OF the Senate was to vote I'M
mediaely on the bill amended, but Senator
Edmunds, who has skill IN drawing of the Senate
into fresh debate after the whole subject under consider
alton las been exhausted succeeded in holding that
body there an hour longer to wrangle the KuKluX
question: but he unable to discourage those who
were determined 10 vote before going home and So after
members OF the Ku-Klux had been excluded from tho
amnesty offered, the final vote was TAKEN when the Dill
was defeated the vote standing 80 TO 49, All OF the DEM

Morrill, of Maine; Scott, Upton, Wright, ana lrumonl'
The most OF these Republicans did not believe the Clyu
Rights bill constitutional OF those who ia not vote,
ana who not paired, Carpenter could not swallow
the Jury clause in the Sumner amendment Chandler Is
opposed to all amnesty; Cole and Cobett could not sup
port law allowing Chinese naturalization, and schurS
was opposed 10 the Sumner amendment. Mr.. Trunbul
Immediately attempted Ia have the senate take up the
last House Amnesty bill, but motion to adjourn was
made and many friends of Amnesty had gone or were
tired or', that It passed. Many passagesat-arLs
took place during the debate, to-day, and many sharp
things were said
The House disposed to-day OF the most remarkable cleo
ton contest that arisen within the memory Of the old
est member. BY unanimous vote, it was decided that
Edwards had right To the scat as the rcpresen-
tatve Of the TIA District Of Arkansas which he has held
for nearly onc-ht OF the entire term for which he was
not elected and his opponent Mr. Boes, the con-
dence O.. the state officers who canvassed the vote Ho
has been robbed onehalf Of his term OF service in
Congress by the gross outrage OF Gov Clayton, who
falsely certified that Edwards was elected In the face Oh
the Official count. The House was OF one

fecturc VI cotton, and the firm from which

cury ior payment. The goods We're seized and
placed IN Greek warehouse whore they were retained

proper conduct IN this matter but the evidence before
