The Senate on the 14,h contin-
ued the consideration vot Kansas
Ca.dwell's case without taking 8
vote. The notable speeches Of
the day seem to have been made
by Morrill,, OF Vermont, and Shurz,

favor OF the right of the Senate to
judge Of the qualifications Of its
mem hefs and to review the action
OF State Legislatures, where bribe-
~ and corruption are charged. This
is the ouly safe ground to take, and
if the Senate is debarred from do
ing this, there is nothing to prevent
1t from becoming den of thieves.

ks0ur city pastors often indulge in deep

leesatly bsen preached in this vicinity,
Nps that Of Rev. 8. N. Stimson, in the
6helburns coal mlns, two hundred feet
bslow the surface OF the earth, Friday
noon Of last week. 4 gentleman who
wa present, writes us:
1Being informed that the Rev. s. n.
Stimson would be ct the top OF the shaft
atsharp twelve, We arrived at the place
1t the appointed time stepped upon .
platform, and descended . adistance of two
hundred feet to the bottom OF the Shell
burne coal shaft, and from thence pro-
cssded westward hundred yards or
moro through subteranean passage,
eight or ten feet wide, and four feet high,
and in some places hardly that, until We
come to . place whore We could stand
erect. Here We found the miners assem-
blcd to the. number of about forty rang
ing along the narrow passage, the place
being lighted By the little lamps fasten-
ed in their caps. Every man carried his
own light and each had his lamp trim
med and burning. The service began by
singing the hymn Ibid Christ o'er sin
ners weep" All present joined in the
singing and if it was not ornate in its
execution rs that Of . cathedral choir, ii
reverberated through those dark cAverns
with grandeur peculiar to the plsce.
The singing was followed by prayer, and
then 4 most appropriate sermon waa
preached BY the Rev. gentleman, from
Matthew, II, 28 "Come unto me oil ye
that labor, and l will give you rest" To
this discourse the best attention was
given, from the commencement to the
close by al present. And the hearty
thank you, and God bless you, which
came from the lips Of many with the
proRsred hand At parting evinced the ap.
