unuO' ne Ieu yesterday from his high es-
tate. know tho Senator would not re-
ceive advice from me. know I am not
capable Of giving it, but in conclusion will
say this; He spoke yesterday of the
LiFe-bOat
OF the nation. tell him that the true life
boat is the Republican party. When you
attack the pilot and SOW dissension among
the crew, you do what the Democratic
party has never been able to do. You sink
the old Republican ship
Amendments to Coles resolution were
voted down and the Senate rescinded the
order to adjourn sine die Monday, June
by a vote of yeas 40, nays 10.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
resumed, Carpenter being entitled to the
floor, but he is Ill. Carpenter will, at an
early day, reply to the criticisms made
yesterday on the committee on sales of
arms.
The President sent in veto on the bill
for the reliefof Milton Best.
AT 4;S0 the Senate took recess until $50.
n evening session the resolution In ref
erence to adjournment was received from
the House, with an amendment fixing the
time Of adjournment at Monday, June 10.
Mr.. Sherman moved that the Senate
concur in the House amendment.
Mr.. Chandler opposed concurrence and
advocated the appointment of committee
of conference.
MIR. Conkling was willing to adopt the
House amendment, and referring to it, said
that If this amendment was non-consurred
It would most probably necessitate
An Extra Session. -
MIR. Chandler-Very well one Of the main
reasons why l want non-concurrence is that
there may be an extra session. What have
we to lose by that? We have nothing to
lose and everything to gain; while the enc
my is demoralized and absolutely routed
before the fight begins. Those brutal as
saults made here yesterday upon a man
VINO could not answer, because he was not
member OF this body, those brutal assaults
upon one Of the most honored men that
this nation ever saw will react with terrific
force upon their authors.
Mr.. Poole moved an amendment fixing the
time for adjournment on Thursday, June
20.
Mr.. Conkling said he would vote for
this amendment because since he had
spoken, he had been informed that there
was disposition on the part of the House
TO grant further extension if the Senate
desire; and further by reason of the
convention next week many members
Of both houses will be absent.
Mr.. Wilson thought it best to take now
the ten days the House had given and en-
deavor to finish up the business, and if it
could not be done ask the House for a
further extension. The Senate had made
great mistake in fixing so early day for
adjournment. He advised his political as
sociates not to engage in any more political
debates, for they were utterly profitless.
People cared nothing about them, and all
the speeches that had been made IN the
Senate since last December had not
changed five votes.
The amendment of Mr.. Poole was re-
jected.
MIR. Pomeroy moved to insert Saturday.
June Is, as the time of adjournment.
Mr.. Howe was willing to vote for the
time fixed by the House, although he
thought there was enough business to keep
Congress four weeks. He might not, per-
haps, feel satisfied to go away without
hearing replies to speeches made yesterday,
but would be consoled with the knowledge
that the people had answered them. They
had in fact answered them a year ago.
Mr.. Cameron had for fifty years seen par
ties rise, eliminate and fall in this country
and had never seen an instance in which
men who abandoned party did not claim
still to be members of it, because people
would no more trust a traitor to his party
than they would trust a traitor to his
country.
The amendment of Pomeroy was reiec-
ted.
Mr.. Poole moved to adjourn, his object
being to compel adjournment Monday
which would necessitate an extra session.
Motion to adjourn was lost by a large
majority.
The Senate then concurred in the amend
ment of the House, extending the time to
Monday,
June 10.
Ayes, AZ; noes, II.
Mr.. Logan called up the bill appropria-
ting $4,000 for an equestrian statute of
Gen. Rawlins. and it was passed.
The Senate then, at Ills, adjourned.
